Tusso's eyes revealed a murderous aura, as if a wolf was looking at his prey in the dark.

But at this time, I am not afraid, since Yu Nian said that this snow wolf clan only recognizes one master in his life, presumably he can't be fierce and do anything to me.

"You said it yourself, as long as I can pull out this icebreaker, you will call me Dad."

Tuso threw the ice breaker to the ground, and my feet began to shake with the blow.

The blade sinked deep into the ground, and Tusuo muffled, "Then you cut off one of my hands, and this matter is over." ”

He confronted me quietly, with no intention of bowing his head.

Lao Meng saw the height of his eyebrows, and hurriedly inserted it in the middle to muddy the water.

"If you want me to say that if you two want to recognize relatives, don't be here, seeing that it's getting dark, it's better to find a place to spend the night first, and you have to go to Jianfeng Ridge tomorrow morning."

The two of us stepped on each other's steps, and neither of us continued the stalemate.

It was desolate, and there were no buildings in a radius of miles other than the warehouse where we came.

At this time, the sky is rumbling, and the wind and rain are coming.

After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to spend the night in the warehouse first, and then find a way to take a ride to Jianfeng Ridge after dawn tomorrow.

I have the impression that the factory covers a small area, and it is difficult to see what it was used for before judging from the clutter accumulated inside.

I'm a little puzzled, who will get a factory here, and it's a bit too inconvenient to transport materials or something. There was no house for miles, let alone a road, and there was such a thing standing on the empty ground.

I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention when I left, but now from a distance, it feels a little wrong.

Lao Meng whispered: "Why do I feel a little strange here... ”

"We're really in the same head, and I feel that way."

As soon as I finished speaking, the wind suddenly blew beside me. It blew from the wasteland, bringing with it a lot of wind and sand.

A few of us stepped up and quickly hid in the warehouse.

I went in and found two steel plates and tires at random, and stacked them behind the hole that Yu Nian had washed open before. The wind and sand are mostly blocked, and although there is not a trace of wind that cannot penetrate it, it is still possible to take shelter for a while.

Tengchong remembered that Liao Kao didn't seem to be with us, and Yu Nian said that he would be placed in a small hotel in the city, and that he would be notified to join us tomorrow when we set off for Jianfengling.

Teng Chongchong was relieved, took out the kettle from his backpack, took a sip, and then carefully handed it to me, "Do you want to take a sip?" ”

I had thousands of questions in my heart waiting to ask Yu Nian, so naturally I didn't have the heart to drink water, so I pushed it away and thanked him, and walked towards Yu Nian.

"What did the old man mean by what he said just now?"

"Since your family has tried everything possible to hide it from you for more than 20 years, they naturally have their intentions, so it's better that you still don't know about this matter."

My heart was depressed, and my tone became a little impatient: "I am indeed a person who loves comfort, and more things are better than less." But now things have taken a turn for the worse, and they've gotten out of control since the day my dad disappeared. You can also see, I have been pulled in by this now, am I going to continue to be confused? ”

Yu Nian looked at my sincere and urgent eyes, and finally said, "The grievances in this are too complicated, each family has its own affairs, and the four corpse craftsmen mentioned by the turtle keeper are actually four families. ”

For a long time after that, Yu Nian used her unique cold tone to slowly unfold the grievances and entanglements of the four corpse craftsmen in front of my eyes.

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the regime in the Central Plains fell into a period of great division. Later Zhou Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, the yellow robe was added, and the later Zhou established the Northern Song Dynasty, and the five dynasties ended. The natural disaster war brought a large number of casualties, and the corpse craftsman industry quietly emerged, forming a scale and sect in the late Southern Song Dynasty.

The corpse maker is divided into four doors - looking for the corpse, holding the corpse, sewing the corpse, and burying the corpse.

In the early years of the corpse search industry, tomb robbers started as tomb robbers, relying on the ability to divide money and determine the hole, relying on the old things of the deceased to determine the direction of the corpse. During the war years, the bones of soldiers were exposed, and the founders demanded compensation from their families after finding the bodies.

Most of the corpses are Miao people, who settled in Xiangxi, the Yuanjiang River Basin, and used Gu magic to manipulate corpses, and by the Qing Dynasty, they had evolved into Xiangxi to drive corpses.

Sewing corpses and burial corpses are not separated, and they are the two most closely related to each other among the four families.

Sewing corpses, as the name suggests, is to piece together the corpses in different places and bury them with dignity. The craft of sewing corpses has extremely high requirements for the sewing of corpses, and if the craftsmanship is not good, it will attract the resentment of the deceased and eat themselves.

In the family, all boys over the age of 10 have to learn the trade of sewing corpses, but very few can actually learn it.

There are three ancestral heirlooms for the corpse sewer, the soul piercing needle, the guide rope, and the bone nail.

They are respectively in charge of the three families of Xiao, Yu, and Fa. It is rumored that a person who possesses all three of these things at the same time can control the mended corpse and turn it into a living corpse, that is, a living dead.

So in the past few hundred years, the three major families have strictly guarded their own things.

After 800 years of evolution, the connection between the four gates of corpse craftsmen has long been gone, and the sewing of corpses has disappeared long before the Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of which, it was already completely dark outside.

Teng Chongchong and Suihe Lao Meng tossed for a day, and they were already drowsy at this time.

The husky of Tuso was already snoring like thunder, and his sleep was extremely rough.

I received so much information at once, and the core of my brain was obviously not functioning enough, as if it was about to burn out.

After a while, he asked, "So, my ancestor was actually a tailor who specialized in sewing dead people?" ”

I shuddered when I said this, and I couldn't believe it.

But what I wonder now is, did my dad know about it?

Yu Nian continued, "Your grandfather Xiao Baoshan and my ancestor have a lot of grievances, and I don't know the specific reason, but although the Yu family and the Xiao family belong to the same sect of sewing corpses, they have made a poisonous oath and will not get along with each other. ”

"So when you heard that I was Xiao Baoshan's grandson, you were so emotional?"

"Well, the Yu family broke with the Xiao family after Xiao Baoshan and switched to the corpse search door. Originally, there had been nothing wrong with each other for a hundred years, but it wasn't until ten years ago that the three major magic weapons of the corpse sewing sect were lost one after another. Among them, the bone nail in charge of the Yu family is in the nine-fold treasure letter handed over by Tengchong Chong. The rest of the needles are still missing. ”

"And those ghost keepers, they're also looking for these two things?"

Yu Nian shook his head, "This is a secret within the clan, and there are not a few sects that covet needles." Once the news leaks out, it will be difficult to find it back. The ghost warlocks don't have that much wolf ambition, all they want is my bone umbrella. ”

After Yu Nian finished speaking, I felt that the situation became clearer, but also more confusing.

Twenty years ago, when I was born. The pins and cords were lost at the same time and their whereabouts are unknown.

Twenty years later, my dad disappeared because he received a courier of copper coins. Does that mean that my dad is fully aware of this?

Because he received the copper coin, he embarked on the road to find the Ninefold Treasure Letter, but he never expected that the Ninefold Treasure Letter was in the hands of his partner Teng Jianmin.

Thinking about it this way, Teng Jianmin has become a key figure.

At this moment, a familiar sound suddenly came from the factory, as if it was a mobile phone ringtone.

I thought it was Teng Chong Chong or Lao Meng's mobile phone ringing, but I didn't react until two seconds later, it was my father's mobile phone ringtone!

That's right, this ringtone is an excerpt from a two-person turn, and my dad asked me to call him countless times after changing it at the time, so I could never have heard it wrong.

Yu Nian and I glanced at each other, walked quickly towards the source of the ringtone, and sure enough, in the cement pipe in the corner, we found a mobile phone covered with dust, buzzing.

After unlocking it, I found that the lock screen was a picture of my mom holding me.

I quickly picked up my phone and connected the phone without thinking about anything else.

But at the same time as I connected, the phone immediately hung up, and in two seconds, I only heard the sound of rain and wind on the other side of the phone.

"Dad? Father? Is that you? "I shouted in vain to the phone that had been hung up, knowing that no one would respond to me, but I still didn't give up.

Why does my dad's phone ring here and not sooner or later? It all seems like a conspiracy!

They were woken up by my shouting and came up to me with sleepy eyes and asked me what had happened.

I excitedly took the phone and said to everyone, "This is my dad's mobile phone, he has been here!" ”

Everyone's expressions were as happy as mine, only Yu Nian was slightly worried.

Yu Nian looked around and only said, "We seem to be being watched." ”

After the ecstasy, I calmed down, and when I thought about it, I did think that this was very strange.

My dad has been missing for a month, and his phone has been out of the service area, and it happened that it rang at this time.

And the battery of the mobile phone is sufficient, it doesn't look like it has been left here for almost a month.

There are all kinds of indications that the phone was premeditated and put here in order to get me to connect the call.

After I told my guess, Lao Meng asked rhetorically, "Then why did he hang up as soon as you answered the phone?" ”

Yu Nian said, "Perhaps, he just wants to confirm that you are here." After speaking, Yu Nian's face changed, "I can't continue to stay here, hurry up and pack my things and leave." ”

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and I quickly picked up the backpack on the ground, and before leaving, I noticed that the husky was still snoring.

I was going to leave him here, but after thinking about it, I kicked him anyway, "I'm leaving, as your master, I think I still have to tell you." ”

He may have fallen asleep, but he didn't lose his temper, so he got up and followed me.

Just after all of us evacuated the warehouse, suddenly a thunderbolt concentrated on the roof, and the color steel plate instantly caught fire like foam, and the original warehouse was instantly drowned in a sea of fire.
