When the first ancestor put Zhou Lie's body in that ancient tomb, it seems that it was not just to thank Zhou Lie's kindness, but also to deter the corpse by placing his remains in that kind of place.

I rolled up the bamboo slips again, stuffed them back into the bookshelf, and turned my head back to look at Master.

Master touched his chin and said what I was about to say: "The ancient tomb under the Mass Grave Mountain was rebuilt by our Soul Village?" Our Soul Village originally had eleven black sarcophagi, two of which were given to Zhou Lie, and the remaining nine were ...... Could it be that those ancient tombs that hide Yin Jade were also built by our Soul Village? ”

There are a total of nine ancient tombs that contain Yin jade, which corresponds to the number of black sarcophagi, and in the Dragon King Tomb and the Northeast Evil Tomb, such black stone coffins have also appeared!

Master and I looked at each other, and neither of us could speak.

After being silent for a while, the master seemed to suddenly think of something, he straightened his waist, looked around at the bookshelves around him, and said to me with some impatience: "Quick, flip through the books here again, there must be clues about the nine tombs!" ”

As Master spoke, I was already rummaging through the bookshelves, and I hurried to get started and searched for it in the vast sea of books with Master.

The sheer number of books in the cabinet, and the fact that all the books are not properly categorized, makes it difficult to find clues in a haystack for clues.

Every time I pull out a book from the shelf, I just glance at it cursoryly, and look at it twice when I come across the word "jade" or "tomb".

I don't know how many books I turned over, until my shoulders were a little sore, and I still didn't find a clue to the Nine Tombs.

Later, Xian'er came to us and said that our master and apprentice had been in the cabinet since the morning, and she didn't see us come out until midnight, and thought that something had happened to us, so she ran down to take a look.

That's when I realized that Master and I had been in this place for more than ten hours.

Master came up from the bookshelf not far away and asked, "Did you find a clue?" ”

I shook my head helplessly.

The master also sighed and said, "Okay, eat something first, get a good night's sleep, and let's go to the Danfang tomorrow morning to see the bullet that your Senior Brother Zhuang disassembled." ”

I nodded, for now, it seems like that's all I have to do for now.

Anyway, the cabinet is still there, so let's look for it again when we have a chance in the future.

After leaving the cabinet, we had a quick bite to eat in the Soul Village and rested, and early the next morning, Master woke me up early and took me to the alchemy room.

I remember that it was about five o'clock in the morning, but Senior Brother Zhuang was already waiting for us in the alchemy room.

On the table in the center of the room, I saw a bulky firearm, next to which were several bullets in the shape of steel nails, and a long and narrow piece of metal.

In addition to some unknown runes tattooed on the surface of the metal sheet, there are many small holes of various sizes.

I immediately understood that this piece of metal was the bullet that was unfolded by my Senior Brother Zhuang.

Senior Brother Zhuang pinched up the metal piece with a pair of tweezers and handed it to my master.

The master put the metal piece in his hand, first reversed the weight, and then stared at the sigil engraved on it, slowly frowning.

I felt that Master must have discovered something, so I approached Master and asked, "What kind of sigil is this?" ”

Master put the metal piece back on the table, sighed, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Tongtian Qi Seal of Jiufeng Mountain, which is not only a talisman for suppressing corpses, but also the door emblem of Jiufeng Mountain. ”

Senior Brother Zhuang brought a piece of deerskin, wiped my master's fingerprints on the metal sheet, and said, "What does Uncle Shi mean is that those mercenaries who appeared in the old Huang family in the Northeast are related to He Lao Ghost?" ”

The master shook his head and said very firmly: "They have nothing to do with He Lao Ghost, but they must have something to do with Jiufeng Mountain." ”

Senior Brother Zhuang and I glanced at each other, and then looked at Master at the same time.

As soon as the master came into contact with the eyes of the two of us, he added, "I know this person very well, although he is a little confused, he will definitely not have anything to do with that mysterious organization. ”

Probably seeing that Senior Brother Zhuang and I were still looking at him with puzzled eyes, the master muttered "Believe it or not", and then changed the topic: "These bullets do not contain spiritual rhyme and mental power, which is also the benefit of the Tongtian Qi seal, even if it is a sigil drawn by a person who has not cultivated, it can also play a role in calming corpses." Combined with the penetrating power of this bullet, as long as the bullet is shot into the evil corpse, it can cause more damage to the evil corpse. You have learned, you contact a reliable arsenal and ask them to produce some similar bullets and guns to equip Liang Zi's original unit. In addition, he also stocked up on some more ammunition for Fat Dun, which he could use in the future. ”

Senior Brother Zhuang was a little embarrassed at this time: "Although this spring gun does not use gunpowder to fire, it is also a real gun after all." Liu Shangang wants to equip this kind of weapon, which is a bit ...... It's not in accordance with the rules. ”

My master smiled and said, "It's not easy, you can find a way to get him to your unit, there is no need to give him a real job, just let him be a supernumerary, and then give him a gun license." ”

Senior Brother Zhuang was embarrassed, but he didn't say anything, just nodded sullenly.

If you want to enter Senior Brother Zhuang's unit, you don't just rely on two mouths, even if you are a supernumerary person, you have to go through three years of observation and assessment, and you can only get in after meeting the standards.

Master must know this kind of thing better than me, and at first glance it seems a bit vexatious when he makes this kind of request, but I can hear that the tone of Master's speech just now is very serious.

I don't know what Master is thinking.

After coming out of the alchemy room, Master and I went to the cabinet to rummage through the books and continue to look for clues to the nine tombs.

But the clues about these tombs seem to be deliberately avoiding us, and they have been tossed for three or four days in a row, but still nothing has been found.

One night, as soon as Master and I came out of the well, Senior Brother Feng called me and asked me to go back to school, saying that I wanted to build an electronic file and get a school card by the way.

Because I had to take pictures of the electronic files, I had to go back.

But without me, the secret door outside the cabinet could not be opened, and although the master wanted to stay in the Soul Village to continue looking for clues, he could only go home with me helplessly.

This time, it is estimated that it will not be back until next year's ghost market.

After breakfast in the morning, we left Jisoul Village and got into Brother Zhuang's car.

I haven't seen Senior Brother Zhuang in the past two days, and as soon as I saw him today, I found that he had a sad face, and after simply hugging his fist to my master, he didn't speak again, silently opened the door, got into the car, and drove up the mountain road.

It wasn't until Senior Brother Zhuang drove the car onto the national highway that the master tentatively asked him, "Something on your mind?" ”

Senior Brother Zhuang sighed at this time: "A few days ago, a special service member in the unit died, and he usually has a good relationship with me. ”

Master nodded and said nothing.

We really don't have much to say about things like this.

But after a while, Senior Brother Zhuang opened his mouth by himself, and he asked my master: "Uncle Shi, do you remember Diao Shubin?" ”

Master pondered for a moment: "Diao Shubin? Oh, I remember, ten years ago, he was still your downline, right? ”

"Hmm." Senior Brother Zhuang replied briefly, and did not speak again for a long time.

Until my master suddenly asked him, "Diao Shubin is dead?" ”

Senior Brother Zhuang sighed for a long, long sigh and said, "Alas, blame me, I knew that the Outer Heavenly Master was so difficult to deal with, so I shouldn't have let him go." ”

Outer Celestial Master? It's a familiar name. But I couldn't remember where I had heard it for a while.

After a while, Senior Brother Zhuang said again: "Half a year ago, I asked Diao Shubin to disguise himself as an outcast of the Dao Sect, and let him try to get mixed into the burial organization. But if you want to enter that organization, you must first pass the level of the Outer Heavenly Master, and Diao Shubin showed his feet before he ...... Alas, when we found his body, he had not even a good skin on him, and both hands and a pair of feet had been cut off. ”

Senior Brother Zhuang's emotions were a little excited, and the master took the conversation away: "What kind of person is that Outer Heavenly Master?" ”

Senior Brother Zhuang was silent for a while before he said: "In the burial organization, the leader is called the sect leader, and there are two major Dharma protectors under the sect leader's seat, and the Outer Heavenly Master is one of them, and his main responsibility in that organization seems to be to recruit disciples. At the beginning, Liu Xiaohui, the outcast of Yun Zhongzi, joined the burial organization through this Outer Heavenly Master. ”

Hearing Senior Brother Zhuang say this, I vaguely became stronger, and the first time I heard the name of the Outer Heavenly Master, it seemed to be when I was in the old Huang family in the Northeast.

Master glanced at Senior Brother Zhuang, shook his head, and asked, "I know all of this, I just want to ask, what kind of character is the person of the Outer Heavenly Master." ”

Senior Brother Zhuang shook his head: "Regarding his character, we don't have any information now. The organization is also worried now, if the Outer Celestial Master already knows that we are investigating him, will he jump over the wall and fight back. ”

Master nodded, let out a breath from his nose, and said, "Well, now does the Outer Heavenly Master know that Diao Shubin is your person?" ”

Senior Brother Zhuang still shook his head: "Alas, I don't know, no one knows what Xiao Diao experienced before he died." ”

Thinking of Senior Brother Zhuang just talking about Diao Shubin's death, it also confirms that he must have suffered inhuman devastation before he died.

And Senior Brother Zhuang fell into a long silence after saying this, and the people in the car did not speak, in this situation, no matter what we say, it seems to be a harm to Senior Brother Zhuang.

After sending us to the train, Senior Brother Zhuang left without looking back, and there were only a few scattered people in the station before the rush hour, and there were two or three station staff gathered together, not knowing what they were discussing, and bursts of laughter came from their side from time to time. When Senior Brother Zhuang's extremely lonely back appeared next to this group of people, I suddenly felt that Senior Brother Zhuang seemed to be many years older all of a sudden.

The train departed at nine o'clock in the evening of the same day, and when we returned to the prefecture-level city railway station, it was already the evening of the next day, Senior Brother Feng had a case at hand and couldn't get out, and the person who came to pick us up was his former deputy Ma Jianguo.
