The room was so quiet that I could hear even the first needle, and I looked blankly at the shoes of different heights in my hands, and turned to look at the palace lord and Tian Ji, their expressions were as surprised and puzzled as mine.

I have been by Ye Jiuqing's side for ten years, and I thought I knew him very well, but now I find that there are actually too many things I don't know.

Ye Jiuqing has told me a lot of things that are enough for his head, so I believe that Ye Jiuqing has no reservations in front of me, but he has never told me that he has been to Kunlun Jinque, nor has he ever told me, he has always known about the existence of the Nine Dragon Boat of the Moon Palace.

I thought he was caring for me, but I never knew that Ye Jiuqing was actually a cripple, compared to those things that could make him lose his head, whether he was crippled or not seemed insignificant, but Ye Jiuqing didn't say a word in front of me.

This is a trivial matter that does not need to be concealed at all, but I think that at this moment, Gongjue and Tian Ji are probably the same thing as I think, in the ancient tomb of Jiqu in the north, the mysterious footprints we found, the footprints of different shades indicate that the person who went in before us was a lame.

I slowly sat down in my chair, licked my lips subconsciously, and carefully connected everything, and suddenly found a lot of things that I had overlooked before.

When Ye Jiuqing first saw me, I was just a thirteen-year-old child, Ye Jiuqing was righteous but definitely not kind-hearted, he didn't adopt me because he saw me alone, it was a necklace! It was he who saw the feathered dragon in the necklace.

Forty years ago, he and my father went to Kunlun Jinque together, Ye Jiuqing must have known my father, I remember that when he saw the necklace that was opened, his first reaction was to ask who my father was, which shows that this chain has been worn by my father before.

I can still remember Ye Jiuqing's shocked expression when he saw the feather dragon in the necklace, this is the reason why he wanted to take me back to the Sifang pawnshop, he spent ten years forcing me to learn things related to tomb visiting, but never let me go to the tomb with him, now I understand that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, he wants me to explore the Nine Dragon Boat of the Moon Palace!

I know Gong Jue because of the ancient tomb behind this house, and at the same time, I got a heavy ring in it to reveal the secret of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, Ye Jiuqing has been exploring the whereabouts of this mysterious treasure ship, and the key clue to the whereabouts of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace is actually behind Ye Jiuqing's house.

What a coincidence, but Ye Jiuqing taught me the most from childhood to adulthood, most of the coincidences in this world are man-made.

"You mean...... The footprints in the ancient tomb of Jiqu are...... Is it the Ye shopkeeper?! Gong Jue squirmed his Adam's apple, looking surprised.

"If it's really Shopkeeper Ye, then this matter is complicated, why doesn't he tell you directly." Tian Ji looked anxious. "Shopkeeper Ye deliberately concealed it, this thing doesn't make sense."

"I don't know why he did it." I sighed heavily. "I'm afraid I can only ask him face to face."

There were hurried footsteps outside the house, and the heavy knock on the door made me upset, and I secretly scolded who was so uneducated, and when I opened the door, I saw Xiao Si holding on to the edge of the door panting, Xiao Si was Cheng Qianshou's apprentice, but I didn't expect him to come to me suddenly.

"Old man...... Go out...... Something happened and I'm still in the hospital...... Confused...... Paste, with your name in your mouth. Xiao Si said while gasping.

"Uncle Cheng has an accident? How...... What's going on? I asked, surprised. Read...... Why are you saying my name? ”

"Say you have ...... There is danger, let me pass ...... Notify you. Xiao Si said intermittently. Let you quickly find a Taoist priest to do a ritual service, otherwise you will definitely die. ”

……

I frowned and opened my mouth slightly, I didn't react for a long time, Cheng Qianshou said that I am in danger and can understand, who is in this line of work is not in danger, but let me find a Taoist priest to do things......

"Uncle Cheng doesn't have a problem with his brain, he has never believed in ghosts and gods, how can he say these strange words?" I asked Xiao Si to come in and drink saliva first and speak slowly.

Xiao Si shook his head, didn't even let my hand touch him, and stepped back with a disgusted and frightened expression, Xiao Si said that Cheng Qianshou said that I was haunted by ghosts, and the yin qi on my body was too heavy and I would die sooner or later, Xiao Si was probably afraid of getting the bad luck on my body.

"The old man said that you hit a ghost and there are unclean things around you." Xiao Si looked at me from afar in a panic. "It's not daylight, I don't dare to come."

"What nonsense, I'm not good, bumper ghosts...... What the hell can I hit? ”

Gongjue and Tian Ji also came over, looking at me in surprise, Xiao Si shook his head and said it was not clear, but last night Cheng Qianshou was doing things in the backyard house, at about two o'clock in the morning, Xiao Si suddenly heard Cheng Qianshou yelling in horror in the house, Xiao Si hurriedly ran over, pushed open the door and saw Cheng Qianshou lying on the ground, looking panicked as if he was frightened by something, Cheng Qianshou had a bad heart, and he should have been frightened and had a heart attack.

"Is there anything in the room?" Gong Jue asked in surprise.

"There was nothing, the old man was working at the time, and when I went in, a lot of things were knocked over to the ground, and the old man pointed to the table, and kept saying two words in his mouth."

"What word?" Tian Ji asked.

"Painted skin!" Xiao Si said it in a panic.

My brows furrowed even tighter, how could I get more and more panicked the more I listened, Cheng Qianshou is also a person who has seen the world, what wind and waves have never seen, and he will be scared like this.

"Painted skin...... Could it be the sebum we gave him? Tian Ji suddenly reacted and said with palpitations. It was taken from a dead man, so it could be that Uncle Cheng really saw the hell. ”

I had no clue in my mind for a while, and I was caught up with the successive broken things, and I hurriedly asked Xiao Si to take us to the place where Cheng Qianshou had an accident, to see what happened.

Cheng Qianshou has a large house behind the store, where he makes fakes, usually no one is allowed to enter except Cheng Qianshou, when we arrived it was already night, the door was still open, and Xiao Si stood outside and did not dare to enter.

I turned on the light and found that it was also broken, Xiao Siwei brought the candle and handed it to me, and then found an excuse to hide as if running for my life, I lit the candle and walked into the room, it was a mess, and the things that had been knocked over were scattered all over the ground.

The room is full of dazzling cultural relics, I can't tell the real from the fake, the most are the figures of different sizes and the figurines with different expressions, these vivid figures in the dim candlelight are looking at us gloomily, thinking of Cheng Qianshou who is so bold and frightened heart attack, I feel a faint chill in my back, there is a creepy feeling

Continuing to walk inside, Tian Ji stepped on the broken pottery shards under his feet, and the sound of shattering echoed in the dead room, and we were all really frightened, Xiao Si said that when he saw Cheng Qianshou, he raised his hand while holding his chest and pointed to the table.

That's where Cheng Qian's hands make clay sculptures, ordinary clay will be pinched into vivid figures in his hands, and clay sculptures of three human heads are placed side by side on the table, which look like real human heads in the dim candlelight.

On the left and right sides are the Buddha's head, the one in the middle is facing away from us, I stretched out and slowly turned around, touching the feeling of skin on it, that should be the sebum we handed over to Cheng Qianshou, he must have filled it with clay, and finally covered it with sebum, so that the facial features on the sebum can fit closely with the clay, and Cheng Qianshou is enough to have the ability to fake the real one......

When the man's head was completely turned in front of us, the candle in my hand shook and the wax oil dripped on the back of my hand, but I felt no pain at all, and the shock and panic completely made my whole body tingle.

The facial features of the human head are clear and realistic, as if it is really a human head placed in front of us, the angular cheeks reveal an unstoppable coldness, and the two thick sword eyebrows contain sharp black eyes, especially the thin lips, I think if they are cocked, they will be like a bright and pure Shangxuanyue.

I finally understood why Cheng Qianshou said that I hit a ghost, and I also knew what he meant by painting skin, and I knew better why people like Cheng Qianshou who didn't believe in ghosts and gods were scared to heart attack.

I involuntarily squirmed my Adam's apple, and my body stiffened backwards, and at the same time there was a field chicken in retreat, and then we looked at the palace lord with frightened eyes.

In this dimly lit room, we saw two identical palace lords!
