29. The body that was replaced
We really have sacrifices, there is a golden tiger in the Luo family, and Old Man Ye has a dagger, and now we can almost know the specific whereabouts of that dagger.
The time to sleep can be saved, we went to Luo's house once that night, and before Luo Fatzi sent the golden tiger back to the ancient tomb, he got his hands on it, to be precise, put it into a thick cloth bag and then I was responsible for holding it. After returning to the hotel and sorting out our respective luggage and equipment, we immediately returned to Ye's house.
Old Man Ye has been buried, and Ye Hong had already received the news a few days ago, so the first thing we did when we returned to Ye's house was to go to Ye Hong's father and persuade him to let Ye Hong open the coffin for his grandfather, and take out the dagger that was buried with him from inside.
Ye Hong lied and said that she went back to the Northeast with Qiao Wei, but she never left Xiangxi at all, and traced the cause of her grandfather's death to the Tusi Tomb, when she returned home and explained everything to her father, her father was furious, and it was natural for the father and daughter to have a big quarrel.
However, after the quarrel, Ye Hong and her father still agreed to open the coffin, but the process of opening the coffin will not be as casual as when Qiao Wei and I dug the grave before, which requires a very formal ceremony and some very important etiquette in the corpse gang.
After making preparations for half a day, the people of the Ye family went to the family's private cemetery with the whole family in the early morning of the next day, and carried out the coffin opening ceremony of Old Man Ye there.
When the coffin was opened, the funeral director used the local language, and I didn't understand what it meant. I'm just following the crowd and following the crowd when it's time to salute, and the silence is a silence. After nearly 100 hours of etiquette and ceremonies, four boys of the Ye family who were of the same generation as Ye Hong carried the four corners of the coffin lid respectively, and carried the coffin lid away from the coffin together under the command of the funeral master.
At the moment when the coffin lid opened, the four people in charge of carrying the coffin let out an exclamation almost simultaneously, and then all four people stepped aside, and the coffin lid fell back to the coffin with a clatter, because it was not falling, the coffin lid slipped off the coffin and fell to the ground.
Old Man Ye opened the coffin again less than three days after he was buried, and this incident alone was already disrespectful to the deceased, and as a result, the coffin lid was still smashed on the coffin, which was even more terrible.
Therefore, the people of the Ye family all rushed to the side of the coffin at once, and the people who rushed over also let out bursts of exclamations.
I looked at Qiao Wei for a while, and then hurried over to take a look, only glanced into the open coffin, and I also gasped, because the coffin lying in the coffin was not the body of Old Man Ye at all, but a human-shaped big tree root, which was covered with black blood stains, and it felt like an enlarged version of blood voodoo.
The most incredible thing is that the huge voodoo root carving is actually wearing Old Man Ye's longevity clothes, it seems that after Old Man Ye died, even his body was absorbed by Voodoo, and he was completely replaced by Voodoo!
If I hadn't found the blood voodoo under my bed, or I'd have died in a month's time, my body would have turned into a big black root!
There was such a strange thing, and the coffin opening ceremony naturally could not continue.
The people of the Ye family carried Old Man Ye's body, that is, the big tree root, out of the coffin. The thing seemed to be very light, and the man in charge of carrying it had all the strength to almost throw the roots of the wood up at first.
"Be careful!" Ye Hong's father scolded the four people who carried the tree roots, and then walked to the empty coffin and took a look.
"It's inside, you guys come and get it." Ye Hong's father said to us.
I nodded to him and thanked him, then went to the coffin and took out the golden dagger from the coffin with the haode pliers I had prepared in advance, and put it in the same bag as the golden tiger.
We got the dagger, but the whereabouts of Old Man Ye's body became a mystery, and it was naturally impossible for a tree root to be buried back, and all we could think of was the terracotta warrior that we threw in the tomb of King Tusi. So when we went on the road again to rush to Wow Spoon Town, it was no longer five people, the Ye family and the people of the corpse gang were huhula and a lot, and the cars alone formed a long line.
Such a large group of people drove into Wow Spoon Town and entered Luo Fatzi's territory, which is definitely a joke.
If the people of the Ye family and the people of the Luo family bump into each other in normal times, it may set off a bloody storm, but this time the situation is slightly different, because there is still us as the middleman between the Luo family and the Ye family.
On our way to Luo Fatzi's house, the people of the Luo family also set up a fierce position to "meet" us, and the townspeople who understood the situation very well all hid far away, and the shops on both sides also consciously closed their doors to prevent themselves from eating stray bullets and meaninglessly giving away their lives.
This time, it was not the little minions of the Luo family who brought people over, but the fat man himself, which saved us a lot of trouble.
Sister Qiao, as a representative of the intermediary, came forward to chat with Luo Fatzi for a few words, Luo Fatzi's attitude was very tough, he meant that even if the tomb of King Tusi in Houshan was a forbidden place, it was also the place of the Luo family, and if the people who drove the corpse of the Ye family wanted to get in, they had a way to step on his corpse.
Sister Qiao said that she finally let Luo Fatzi take a step back, and he allowed us to go over, but the Ye family could only go over to three more people, and the others could only wait in the town. Similarly, the Luo family will also arrange a team of people to be our guides, and at the same time, it can also be regarded as watching the people of the Ye family to prevent them from doing anything in the Luo family's territory.
The Ye family didn't think about making a move with Luo Fatzi at all, so they happily agreed to the other party's conditions.
Zuihou Ye Hong's father, uncle, and second uncle followed us into the mountain, along with Luo Fatzi and five other Luo family gunmen.
It took us a day and a half to arrive at the Luo family's forbidden Tusi Tomb, and there were already more than a dozen Luo family people at the entrance of the tomb, and they were originally responsible for blowing up the entrance to the tomb and completely sealing it there, but before they started, they received a call from Luo Fatzi.
Fat Luo left all his men outside, and he was going to follow us into the tomb.
We had no reason to object to this, so we made a big sprint into the tomb this time.
Entering the tomb and going down to the end along the initial inclined passage, we saw the terracotta warrior with the same appearance as Ye Hong's grandfather. Ye Hong's father and two uncles were all taken aback when they saw the terracotta warriors, and what was even more surprising was still to come.
Ye Hong's father and two uncles all came over with chisels and hammers, they first removed the golden sword from the hands of the terracotta warriors and put it in my back cloth bag, and then carefully removed the earth and stones from the appearance of the terracotta warriors, and inside it turned out to be a corpse! It wasn't a skeleton, it was a complete, old man's corpse.
No matter how the corpse was formed, but now it seems that it is the corpse of Grandpa Ye Hong, he should not be thrown here, he should be taken back to the Ye family's cemetery for burial.
"I have a hunch that there is already a terracotta warrior like me in the innermost tomb, and I may be able to find Luo Lao Er."
I lowered my voice and said to Qiao Wei.
My volume was already very low, but I was still heard by Fat Luo, who rushed to us like a big bear and shouted, "What did you just say?!" What do you think will happen to my brother?!!! ”
"Have you ever been in the innermost part?" I asked rhetorically.
Luo Fatzi shook his fat head at me, "This is a forbidden place, and even this passage is the first time I've come down!" ”
"You're so obedient!" I stinked at him, and then explained: "There are a lot of stone terracotta warriors in the innermost part of the tomb, and it is estimated that most of those terracotta warriors are thieves who have entered this tomb for more than a thousand years, and they have been sucked dry of their vitality by voodoo blood curses, and even the corpses have been brought here to stand next to the coffin. Now the brother you buried is estimated to have turned into a black tree root. ”
Luo Fatzi stared at me for a long time before saying, "I will go into the innermost part with you!" ”
