122, Yong'an Shijia
"But since the Yin Monster has disappeared, where can we go to find her, the people of the Maoshan Sect can't find it, can we find it?"
"In terms of strength, we are definitely inferior to the Maoshan Sect, but there are big difficulties, small benefits, Maoshan Sect will never dare to admit that the Zimu Yin Monster is missing, so so far they dare not look for it with great fanfare, so from the strength of looking for corpses, they don't have to be much stronger than us, it's just that there are more people, and the real masters of the Maoshan Sect are too famous, but it is inconvenient to come forward, and the ones who are really sent out to find the corpse monsters are some little-known little people, these people are not much stronger than us in terms of ability, and they are ......" Speaking of this, Uncle Liao couldn't help but show a smug smile and said, "Skewers, do you know where the essence of this matter is?" ”
"This ...... Let's look for the yin monster with our hearts, what does the essence mean? ”
"I also secretly told the people of the Wushan faction about this matter, these people will inevitably secretly send their subordinates to look for corpse monsters, after all, once they find the corpse monsters, it will be two jade pendants in their hands, and the Wushan faction is not as good as the other two factions, so they are more willing to cooperate with us than the two factions, why Lu Shangqin can escort me is because of this."
"I think there is still a loophole when you say that, if the Wushan faction really has the intention to seize this piece of jade, it is very likely to kill us, what reason is there to cooperate with us?"
"Skewers, you're still not mature enough, why did I tell the Wushan faction and didn't say that I knew with the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master? It is because of this that the two factions are hindering each other, I can use the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master to threaten the Wushan faction, if they want to kill me, just tell the news to the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, and even the Xuanyue Gate, the Wushan faction is the weakest among the four factions, any faction comes forward to compete with him, the Wushan faction is not one, so before this matter is over, they will do their best to cooperate with me, if we can find the corpse monster before the two factions, it will be a big victory, even if we can't find it, we have no loss, just take a leisure. ”
Uncle Liao's analysis convinced me: "You really have nothing to say about what you plan, so what should we do next?" ”
"We are going to Yong'an to find the Shi family's people, only Yong'an soil workers know the behavior of corpse monsters best, and the Shi family is the boss of the earth engineering industry." Uncle Liao was far-sighted, and he had calculated all the possibilities and made all the plans before he was ready to do this.
Uncle Liao may not be the most powerful of these people I know, but he must be the smartest.
He took a car and headed towards the southern province where Yong'an is located, and slept all the way to the Yong'an territory and immediately called his friends who had contacted before, and soon this person appeared in front of us, a thin and small man in his thirties, his name is Shi Haohao, after meeting he said: "I didn't expect you to come so quickly, I told the old man about the matter between us, he was very interested, and said that he hoped to cooperate with the Taoist priests once, after all, if all the zombies in the tomb of the tomb of the king of the tomb come out, it will be a big disaster." From this sentence, we can know that Yongan geoworkers still generally know about the three major tomb kings.
I said, "That's right, but what I urgently need right now is the remaining jade pendants, I don't know if you can help." ”
Shi Haohao said: "This is what he will naturally say when you meet the old man. Then we went all the way to the village where the Shi family was located in the Yong'an territory.
I said, "Brother, you have to carefully explain what kind of craftsman Yongan geoworkers belong to, I don't know much about your profession. ”
"Yongan geowork is a branch of geoengineering, the so-called geowork actually includes: pottery, clay craftsmen. Excavation and filling works. In the old days, the officials who were in charge of funerals and examined the dead bodies, and Yongan geoworkers were specialized in digging and filling the earth, to put it bluntly, they were hired to move the graves for the owners and sort out the bones. It means that only those who break the ground and lift the coffin in the earth engineering industry can be called the public, so we can be called Yongan geogong, and we can also be called Yongan Tugong. ”
"Don't look at the Yong'an place, there are dozens of earthwork forces, but the most powerful belong to the Shi family and the Gui family, because since the Yongan earthwork industry, the Shi family and the Gui family have controlled all the work of sweeping the tomb and opening the coffin."
The so-called "sweeping the soil" is not just to dig up the floating soil at the head of the grave, because in ancient times, there were many hidden passages in the tomb, and the sweeper must see through these doorways and remove them at a fixed point, which is a bit similar to the sappers on the battlefield, and the Gui family is responsible for opening the coffin is a hard work, because once the deceased is buried in the "corpse ground, ant ground" and other fierce places, which produces a rigid image or even a corpse, it must be destroyed, and dealing with zombies is the purpose of the coffin opener, as for the rest of the small families, can only follow the back to do some chores of hanging coffins and picking up bones, so to put it bluntly, Yongan geoworkers are in the hands of the Shi and Gui families. ”
Soon we arrived at the destination, this Yong'an village layout is very peculiar, not an ordinary rural small building, but an antique green tile red brick old house, from the direction we are standing to look densely packed, only in the periphery of the village there is a small area of farmland, it seems that "farming" for Yong'an Tugong is just a show.
The roads in the densely built village are also very narrow, and I can see that the bluestone roads are covered with footprints, which are the marks left by years of walking, which shows how many years the buildings here have not changed.
After walking around the road for a long time, a rare square appeared in the dense building complex, which is a common "crossroads" in the city, Shi Haohao said: "This is the division of forces in Yong'an, the left and right sides of the square are the Shi family and the Gui family, and the place where we stand is where those stragglers live, because we can enter the place where these people live, and they must not set foot in the Shi Gui family." ”
After hearing this, I laughed and said, "You guys can really play music." ”
"This is not just for the sake of arrangement, because there are many special crafts in the field of earthwork, so of course I don't want to be listened to by the wall, so I simply don't let outsiders in, and once someone violates the rules, they will be expelled from Yong'an."
I saw a huge stone tablet erected on the boundary in the center of the square, carved with four big characters: Tanglin thief, I walked around the stone tablet and said: "Why do you want to erect this stone tablet?" ”
Shi Yimao said: "I only heard my father say about this matter, so I can't be sure whether it's true or not, this stele should commemorate Sun Dianying, the biggest tomb robber during the Republic of China, because it is his strong support for Yong'an geoworkers that we have today's status, before him we were just a group of craftsmen who moved people's graves." ”
"Sun Dianying is a warlord, what can a warlord have to do with a tomb robber?" I asked, puzzled.
Shi Haohao said: "It is said that in 1928, when Sun Dianying used the excuse of military exercises, he stole Dongling, that is, the imperial tomb where Cixi was buried, and then found that Cixi's corpse had changed, but Sun Dianying used the army when he robbed the tomb, and a zombie who had changed into a corpse naturally could not cause harm to them, and then with the distribution of the treasures unearthed in Dongling, this matter was quickly over, but Sun Dianying robbed the tomb in order to raise military salaries, so he would definitely not stop, but it was precisely because of the fact that there were zombies in the tomb. Sun Dianying knew that he had to find a helper to eliminate these troubles for him, because although the use of guns and cannons could destroy the zombies, it also had a destructive effect on the treasures in the tomb, so he found Yong'an earthwork, and it was the hesitation that Sun Dianying's practice of robbing the tomb to raise money contributed to the atmosphere of tomb robbing, as the so-called tomb repair in the prosperous times, tomb robbery in troubled times, the chaos in the early years of the Republic of China has arisen with Sun Dianying, the biggest tomb robber, and there are no less than hundreds of famous gangs in the southeast and northwest groups of tomb robbers, which is only the power of the people, Not to mention the warlords from all walks of life, so Yongan geoworkers became the most sought-after craftsmen at that time, and tomb robbers from all walks of life hated to take us as their fathers, which is why the earthworkers set up a stone monument for Sun Dianying. ”
