Ke'er shouted happily: "Big civet! ”

The big civet cat respects the position of "white tiger" in the navel, has been four hundred years old, has been guarding the wind mounds with Guo Ruchang, the leper turtle and the ghost bat in the navel, and generally rarely comes to the ground, at this moment I saw a litter of cat demons and felt very novel, so I was not busy launching an attack.

He looked at Mei Niang for a while, and looked at Sun Yifeng for a while, and didn't seem to understand why he was in human form, with black hair on his body and cat whiskers on the corners of his mouth. And those black cat cubs were even more admiring when they saw such a huge kind, and they ran up to rub their legs affectionately, and even Mei Niang's call was the wind in their ears.

At this time, Sun Yifeng was shocked, although the Qinling black civet cat demon was not weak, but the haze and killing aura exuded by the big civet cat was enough to make him a little numb, knowing that he was by no means the opponent of this giant cat, the hero did not suffer the immediate loss, or he had the opportunity to slip away.

Sun Yifeng's face was full of smiles, and he pointed to the black cat cub at the feet of the big civet and said embarrassedly: "I don't know that the predecessors are here, disrespectful and disrespectful, they are all the heirs of the old man, look how cute they are." ”

The big civet cat was unmoved, his eyes glanced at Ke'er and Secretary Xing, and he meowed, as if he was asking something.

"Kill him, and these vicious cats." Guo Keer said eagerly.

Mei Niang whistled, and those black cat cubs hugged the four legs of the big civet cat tightly. He and Sun Yifeng shared their thoughts, and at the same time, his body rose backwards and burst out of the broken window.

The big civet cat looked down at these kittens at the moment, and seemed to be unable to bear to start, and then "meow, woo" made a series of barks at Kerr.

"Ah, it's Daddy's dead." Kerr understood what he meant.

Secretary Xing was also stunned, "giggled", retracted his neck and said, "Grandpa is gone?" Let's go, then. ”

Ke'er said sadly to Youliang: "When Daddy died, we have to rush back to the navel, do you want to come together?" ”

If the big civet cat is not there, Sun Yifeng will be in trouble if he comes back again, and he looked at Erya.

Erya was also hesitant, saying that she really didn't want to go underground where the sun didn't shine all day long.

"Then you two are waiting here, we will transport Daddy's body out of the ground and bury it in that moonlight sarcophagus, and then meet you, and the big civet will stay here for the time being to prevent the cat demon from coming back."

The big civet "meow" agreed, and at this moment, the black cat cubs scattered in a hurry and ran away along the flowing water hole under the wall.

That night, Secretary Xing carried Guo Ruchang's body out of the ground umbilicus, went back to the old house to get a hoe and shovel, and together with Youliang, he dug open the sarcophagus in the woods in the back mountain and buried the old man.

After returning to the Guo family's old house, everyone discussed their future plans, and Secretary Xing and Ke'er were willing to go with Youliang to find the tomb of the Medicine King.

"But where does the search for the Medicine King's tomb begin?" Erya said worriedly.

Secretary Xing is a person who has been an official in the end, he has seen a lot of knowledge, he sorted out his thoughts, and then analyzed: "At present, the only clue about the tomb of the medicine king is the piece of jade, although we can't see any difference in it, but you can go to the library to consult the materials, or go to the museum to consult experts in this area, maybe you will find the answer." ”

Youliang also thought that Secretary Xing's words were very reasonable, so he asked, "Are we going to the capital?" ”

Secretary Xing waved his hand, his teeth were bared in pain, the scratched arm had been bandaged, and the skin and flesh injuries were not serious, he said: "No, let's go to Xi'an, in ancient times, there were twelve dynasties to build their capitals here, stretching for more than a thousand years, and there should be the most materials and experts studying ancient culture." ”

Guo Keer smiled and said to Secretary Xing affectionately: "Okay, then leave early, the slave family is going to change a young and beautiful female corpse, how about enjoying the joy of fish and water with the husband in the future?" ”

Secretary Xing was greatly moved when he heard this, and looked at Guo Erxi's bald and dysentery head, which had disgusted him all these years.

"Yes, but we don't have much money on us." Erya was a little worried.

"I'll go and search the old house, maybe that stinky woman will hide her savings." Arara stood up.

Secretary Xing hurriedly stopped it and said solemnly: "Don't steal, that's a violation of national law." ”

"Even if they occupy the rent of the Guo family's old mansion all these years, it's okay, right?" With a conscience, Secretary Xing is too pedantic.

"Well, that's pretty much it." Secretary Xing nodded, relieved.

Under the bed in the main room, Arirashi found a wad of banknotes, which amounted to thousands of dollars.

"Four people go to the provincial capital, and the money can be used for a while." Arara breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just pieces of paper," Kerr muttered, flipping through the notes to look at the elaborate patterns, "can't you find silver taels?" ”

"In today's society, silver has long been out of circulation, and these banknotes are money." Secretary Xing explained.

Ke'er went to find two Guo Youcai's Zhongshan suits to change into, Secretary Xing was tall and had no suitable fit, so he had to go to the store to buy them later, and after a few years in the navel, their clothes were worn out.

That night, several people packed up and left Fenglingdu, and took the first bus to the provincial capital Xi'an at dawn.

Although Ke'er has the body of the host Guo Erxi, she doesn't see the light of day all day long, and she is still a little afraid of the sun, so she puts on a grass-green military hat that she turned over in the old mansion and buckles it on her bald head, which is also decent.

When they came to the provincial capital, they first found a hotel near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to stay, and then bought a Zhongshan suit for Secretary Xing in the surrounding shops, his ideas were more orthodox and he was not interested in the current popular suits.

On the northwest side of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is a Tang Dynasty style building complex on Xiaozhai East Road, which is the famous Shaanxi History Museum.

When the museum opens in the morning, there are few visitors, and the exhibition halls are solemn and quiet, from simple stone tools from ancient times to all kinds of artifacts before the Opium War, with a time span of more than a million years. Among the exhibits are Shang and Zhou bronzes, pottery figurines from the past dynasties, gold and silver vessels from the Han and Wei dynasties, and murals of Tang tombs.

"Look, there's Jade here." Ke'er said, pointing to a row of jade objects in the window.

Under the soft light in the window, there are jade fish, short jade tubes, jade beads and rectangular jade pieces, and there are a few cicada-shaped jade pieces lying quietly on the very edge, but the cicada wings are all open, which is different from the one of the Sun family.

"Comrade, do you have any experts here who study jade?" Secretary Xing asked the staff of the exhibition hall.

The man looked at him and asked what was the matter.

Secretary Xing told that he also had a piece of jade and wanted to ask an expert to identify it, and after a while, an old expert with gray hair hurried over.

"I'm Professor Song Youtian from the museum group, where did you come from?" The old expert asked in surprise.

"It's my family's ancestral."

"Well, this jade cicada has concise lines, rough and powerful, the knife is sharp, the surface is smooth and bright, the edges are sharp and the wings are almost piercing, it is the authentic 'Han Eight Knife', which belongs to the jade of the Han Dynasty. The cicada-shaped jade was almost absent after the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the antique wind flourished in the Song Dynasty, and the jade cicada began to appear in large numbers again. But at this time, the function of the jade cicada as an accessory is becoming more and more prominent, just like the few pieces in the window, the ornamentation is becoming more and more complicated, some wings are opened like flies, the edges of the utensils and the tips of the wings are ground into rounded corners, and holes are drilled on it for easy wearing, and the charm of the jade cicada of the Han Dynasty has long been lost. Professor Song explained.

"In this way, this jade is a thing of the Han Dynasty." Secretary Xing asked.

"Yes, it's a thing from that era, it's very rare, do you want to sell it?"

"No, I want you to see if there is any hidden meaning on this jade."

"Implications?" Professor Song looked at Secretary Xing in confusion.

Secretary Xing hesitated, not knowing how to say it clearly.

At this moment, Youliang stepped forward and said, "This is left by the ancestors of the Erya family, and it is said that there are family secrets hidden on the jade." ”

"Oh, is that so? Come with me to the studio. Professor Song led them to a room where there were microscopes and other instruments on the table.

Professor Song looked intently under the microscope, and then used a polarizing refraction instrument to check, and finally said: "The hardness and density of this piece of jade are very normal, but the refractive index is a little abnormal, it may be because it contains some impurities, and nothing else has been found, are you willing to leave the jade in the museum first?" I'll take a look at it when our team leader comes back. ”

Secretary Xing glanced at Youliang, and both of them shook their heads.

Professor Song took out the camera, took pictures of the front and back of the jade after lighting up, and said enthusiastically: "Our team leader She is an authoritative authority in the identification of antiques in China, and I only went to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage for a meeting this morning, and will come back in two or three days. ”

"It's okay, we live in room 201 of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Hotel near here, just look for Secretary Xing." Secretary Xing told him.

After leaving the History Museum, Kerr and Erya went to the store, while Secretary Xing and Youliang went to the library to check out the materials.

For two days in a row, the two of them almost searched through the books and materials about the funeral customs of Yuwan in the provincial library, but they never found any useful clues.

No, it's not like this, Youliang firmly believes that Grandma Erya's mouth title Jade will be immortal, and Old Man Guo feels the strange old yin qi contained in it, which is definitely not an ordinary jade.

At dusk on the third day, there was a knock on the door of No. 201 of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Hotel, and an old scholar with a ruddy and kind face walked in.

"I'm She Tianting, a researcher at the Xi'an History Museum, and it's okay to call me Lao She. I have already seen the two photos of Professor Song, and they are not ordinary jade cicadas, but 'witch cicadas' left over from ancient times. The old pedant looked at them with wise eyes and said calmly.
