Chapter 41: Clues

PS: Just called~~~~~ so it's late.

"Yes!" said the boar through gritted teeth, "Don't let me catch this bastard, or I'll skin him!!"

Lin Feng said respectfully:

"Then you have to be careful, because the ashes of the old man may have been spilled and mixed in the dirt. ”

The boar shook his head and said:

"No, the practice of our cultivation is very special, and the ashes are very different from ordinary people, as if they are pearl sand, even if they are mixed with soil, they can be clearly identified. ”

Lin Fengjin pondered for a while and said:

"Since you just said that this Soul Urn Golden Bottle has all kinds of supernatural features, it is impossible for ordinary tomb robbers to break through it if they encounter it, and the one who came seems to ignore the power of the Soul Urn Golden Bottle and directly break the Soul Urn Golden Bottle. ”

"At the same time, the great witch chose to bury the bones here, obviously very low-key, he is estimated to have the closest relationship with you when he was alive, but even you, under a clear prompt, also searched for a long time to find the location of this cemetery, if it is an outsider, I believe it will be even more difficult to find this place. ”

"So, according to my speculation, this grave digger should not be an ordinary person in the first place, and his identity is very special, and secondly, this person also has quite a powerful attainment in feng shui, otherwise, how could he find here?"

"Yes, yes. The boar nodded and said, "Childe, you're right. ”

Lin Fengjin continued:

"The above analysis is only an inference based on these bright lines that we currently have. Next, we can analyze some situations from the perspective of motivation: under normal circumstances, normal people would not do such an act as digging a grave. ”

"The motives of the person who made this kind of action are usually only two points, the first is that the tomb owner has buried a lot of precious items, and the tomb robber asks for money, so he digs the grave, and secondly, it is to vent his anger, for example, he has a deep hatred with the tomb owner but he can't help him, so he can only come to rob the tomb to vent his anger on the corpse and whip the corpse. Peeing or something. ”

The wild boar immediately said:

"Our advocacy is that people come and go in the red, so we don't advocate burying anything, what will be handed over to the next generation, let it play a role, and will not let it rot in the tomb in vain, so it is impossible to ask for wealth as you said, Childe. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and said:

"Then there is one possibility left, that is, to vent anger, people rolling on this river and lake, they must have a grudge with others. Even the ancient monarchs were dug up and whipped. But there is a little strange thing here, that is, after the other party has vented his feelings, he will turn around and leave. And after this tomb was dug up, there were obviously two things missing, whether it was the ashes of the old man, or the soul urn gold bottle containing the ashes, it seemed that they had been taken away by others!"

When the wild boar heard this, he immediately groaned:

"Childe, what do you mean?"

Lin Feng said seriously:

"I think this soul urn gold bottle is estimated to be a treasure, although it has been broken and has use value, but since the ashes of the old man of the great witch murderer have not appeared here. It is enough to show that it was taken away by the gravedigger, and in this way, it is actually a very clear dark line -- where would a normal person feel that the ashes are very useful and will be taken away? After combining these things together, in fact, although this tomb robber has not met with us, and he does not know his identity, but. Needless to say, several characteristics of this person are already about to come out. ”

"This man should also be a pretty powerful monk, as the protection provided by the Soul Urn Golden Bottle doesn't seem to be of much use to him. And good at feng shui, at the same time, must be proficient in the art of yin and ghosts, I think this neighborhood is really poor mountains and bad water, there should be no ordinary residents to reside, right?

Marwen immediately said without thinking:

"There are many poisonous insects in the bald swamp, and in the summer and autumn seasons, it will release a very vicious dead leaf miasma, although this miasma will not be fatal, but it will make people cough more than once, the lungs will ulcerate, and it will be transmitted to the rest of the people, and the insects and beasts in the vicinity can be said to be more or less poisonous, so in this radius of two or three hundred miles, even if there are bold tribes to settle down, they will inevitably die within ten years. ”

Lin Fengjin groaned:

"In that case, we will have to expand the scope of our search, as far as I know, you Xirong here really don't seem to have many powerful witches who live alone and live in seclusion? I feel that the more powerful the witch, the more resources will be consumed, so I must rely on the powerful leaders in the world to continue to progress, as far as I know, the great witch and his old people can't escape such a strange circle, so, our next target, should be the nearest village from here, to inquire if there are any powerful wizards within a radius of thousands of miles that meet the conditions we are looking for. ”

The wild boar said with a black face:

"Master, the Soul Urn Golden Bottle is also a very rare spiritual object, so if there is no accident, then this fragment in my hand can echo with the main body as long as it reaches a certain distance. This can also be used to identify the identity of the tomb robber. ”

"Oh. Lin Fengjin's eyes lit up and said, "How far is the sensing range?"

The boar sighed and said:

"It's only about 100 meters. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and said:

"It's already very good, with this, I don't know how much trouble it can save us!"

But then Marveen stood up and poured cold water:

"Childe, the nearest walled city here is called the mud rolling nest, the distance is also two hundred miles, because there is a salt pond in that place, so it is as if holding the rice bowl rewarded by God, they are not afraid of hunger at all, and the people in the mud rolling nest are also very arrogant and not afraid of death, so the security is very good, and because the salt goods produced here are rare green salt, the quality is high, so there are many merchants who come here to sell, and they are endless all year round, quite prosperous. ”

"There's just one thing you have to understand. After losing our whereabouts, the Legalists are likely to turn the focus of their search to these prosperous villages, so if we want to go in to find someone, we will actually run the risk of not only provoking the tomb robbers, but also likely to be targeted by the Legalists again. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded and said:

"You're right, so this time we have to be careful, we all have to change our faces, and at the same time, Ma Wen, you have never shown your face in front of the Fa family, and after you go to the mud rolling nest, you will be the main one. ”

Lin Fengjin said. One side untied the Black Emperor Mirror on his waist and handed it to Ma Wen:

"In this mirror, there is a very powerful servant of mine hidden, and it just so happens that she is also good at water supernatural powers, plus this mirror, with your own talent, it is estimated that there is no problem with self-preservation. ”

Ma Wen had already noticed the Black Emperor Mirror on Lin Fengjin's waist, and could feel that this was a very powerful water magic weapon, but he didn't expect that there was actually a very strong instrument spirit inside. And she was originally born with the body of the water element, after the three complemented each other, the power could be said to be multiplied, after hearing Lin Fengjin's words. He nodded without hesitation.

After confirming that there was nothing of value under this Jitou Mountain, Lin Fengjin and his people quickly went to the mud rolling nest, although the environment of Xirong can be called a poor mountain and bad water, but there are two people led by Ma Wen and wild boar. After getting out of this rotten and foul-smelling swamp area, it took a day to reach the mud nest over the mountains and mountains.

This mud nest is a stockade built in the middle of the mountain. Because the brine pool that produces salt is on the top of the mountain, so the tribe that occupies this place is to build the village in the middle of the mountain, just like a belt to enclose this mountain peak, the construction of this village is as if it is a terraced field as distinct layers, you can see a large number of stilted bamboo buildings are built together, there are a large number of people in the passage, the crowd is surging.

And most of the cattle are tied to a dam at the foot of the mountain, so as to avoid confusion, and there is a bluestone canal showing "zhi" The shape of the word flows down from the top of the hill in a twist and turn, providing water for the people in the village, and at the same time, towering bamboo watchtowers have been built in several key locations, as well as stone passes, which also provide enough defense, Lin Fengjin can be regarded as an expert in this regard, so at a glance, he felt that the person who presided over the construction of this village at that time was quite capable and kept this area in order.

You must know that in a place like Xirong, it can be said that there are many people who are brave and brave enough to kill people with knives, and it is not unusual, but it is really rarer than a giant panda to find a person who is so good at overall planning and managing internal affairs. This mud nest sits on a cornucopia like a salt pond, which can be guarded, and then the tribe still grows, and there are really capable people behind it to help.

Before Ma Wen entered the mud rolling nest, she deliberately wiped her face with mud, a dirty and tattered child like her, it can be said that there are everywhere, the least eye-catching, but also has an innate advantage, and is directly included in the "harmless" target within the first time it is seen, so it is the most suitable to find out the news.

After about half an hour of entering, Ma Wen walked out of it, and said with a strange face:

"Childe, the group of people from the Fa family did come here two days ago, but they received the news in the first half of the night yesterday, and they all shrank and withdrew. ”

Lin Feng sighed and said strangely:

"What's going on?"

Marwen Dao:

"I don't know the reason for this, but it's true that there are no Legalists in the village at this time. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded and said:

"That's for the best, let's go inside. ”

Before coming here, Lin Fengjin and the wild boar discussed how to get in, and he must wear the local clothes of Xirong in his clothing, this is not difficult to solve, Lin Fengjin was prepared before he came, he has been trekking in the dense forest of Xirong for the past few days, and his skin is also tanned, and then he can pretend to be eighty percent if he smears some soil.

As for the identities of the two, they can pretend to be medicine customers and hunters, when they came to rest all the way, Ma Wen had already woven a medicine basket with rattan, Lin Fengjin picked a few herbs on the road and threw them in, but there was no flaw, and the wild boar, the "hunter", was more convenient, not long ago he killed a leopard that came to hunt, just resist on his shoulder, not to mention that the wild boar had been a hunter in his early years. At this point, it's just a matter of getting back to the old business.

If Lin Fengjin came here alone, then the accent and some daily habits would have to be exposed, but fortunately, there were two wild boars in the same company to take care of, so they entered the village without any danger, and then went to sell the medicinal materials in accordance with the rules, because the few flavors of medicine collected by Lin Fengjin were still quite good in terms of quality and rarity, so they were easily sold, and the owner of the pharmacy saw that he was a fresh face, in order to win over this new medicine customer. also specially gave Lin Fengjin an extra five cents, hoping that he could sell it to himself first after collecting the medicine in the future.

The leopard carried by the wild boar is more popular, and when it is thrown to the ground in a large restaurant, the boss will naturally give the price with a smile, there are many merchants here, the flow of people is very large, the leopard meat can be sold as game, the leopard bone can be pretended to be tiger bone to soak in wine, and the leopard skin is made into a mattress. can drive away the wind and cold, it can be said that the whole body is a treasure, and he is not afraid of not being able to sell it at all.

At first, the boss still saw that the wild boar was a raw face and wanted to lower the price, but the wild boar was still familiar with this industry. As soon as I heard the price offered by this guy, I knew that he was stealing customers, so without saying a word, he left with the leopard, and the boss hurriedly stopped people, and he laughed again and again to keep people. In the end, I reluctantly opened a high price to keep the wild boar, and the little girl Marwen was still bargaining softly next to her, asking the boss to give money in addition to it. I also went around a meal before I stopped.

The next dry people naturally eat here, because the climate in the east and west of Xirong is very different, so the food culture is not quite the same, the staple food here is the black baba that is grasped by hand, it is made of rice, arrowroot powder mixture, the appearance is black and viscous, the appearance is similar to cow dung, but the taste is a little rough, but it is enough to fill the belly, and at the same time there is a plate of pickled sour fish pieces, a large pot of potato and sauerkraut soup, the dishes are mainly sour and spicy, and the aftertaste is a little bitter, Lin Fengjin is not very accustomed to eating, fortunately, the wild boar and Ma Wen two people eat a lot, it looks quite appetizing。

Halfway through eating, Marwen suddenly whispered:

"Alright, almost, the spy is gone. ”

After hearing this, Lin Fengjin suddenly said in a low voice with some surprise:

"Spy, what's going on?"

Marwen whispered:

"It's no wonder that the mud rolling nest has not been attacked here, it turns out that it is really loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and our three fresh faces seem to be easy to blend in, but in fact, they have been targeted by two spies, until they find that we are very normal when selling things and eating, and the locals are undoubted, there are no flaws at all, these two spies did not leave. ”

After eating, Ma Wen went to ask the shopkeeper, saying that his wife often gave himself dreams after she died, and there were people around the grave who heard someone crying when they passed by at night, so she specially wanted to invite a "god father" or "god woman" to ask what was going on.

The purpose of a cadre of people coming here is to inquire about the powerful wizards within thousands of miles nearby, and they are also good at ghosts, and it is best to keep a low profile, not to startle the snake, the relatives recommended by the shopkeeper feel very unreliable when they hear it, most of them are the kind of cheating money, Lin Fengjin and others will certainly not be fooled, the memory of Ma Wen's previous life is also gradually awakening, and she is also a very shrewd and powerful woman, so she was immediately surprised:

"Yes, that's the best, my aunt is murderous, the body was not found when buried, don't hide it from the shopkeeper, you said, I have invited several gods and goddesses to see the pull, but one later I don't know what happened, fell into the water and drowned, one was gnawed half of the head by the beast, and one is not even paid to cry directly and walked away Our gods and goddesses did not dare to go, and then I heard someone to point out, only to know that there is a powerful master here, the shopkeeper you quickly take us to find him. ”

Hearing Ma Wen say so "crackling", the shopkeeper's face gradually turned blue, how did he not know what kind of virtue his cousin was, that is, pretending to be a ghost to cheat some money to use, there was no real ability, otherwise how could he fall under his stove to burn the fire?

And listening to the words of this little girl, the job of feelings is an extremely dangerous and terrible situation! It seems that there are many "pioneers" who have already fought bravely on the street one after another, and if they really let their cousin go, it will not help him, but harm him!

Therefore, before the shopkeeper could finish talking about pouring beans from the Mar Pattern Bamboo Tube, he laughed dryly and said:

"Oh, little sister, Uncle suddenly remembered, this relative that Uncle wants to recommend is going to the countryside to go to the grave tomorrow, and it will be a full month before he comes back, in order not to delay your affairs, let's go to another house, right?"

"Huh?" said Marwen in amazement with her big round eyes. "But Uncle, didn't you just say that your relatives are okay with doing a small thing like a ritual? Why are you going to the grave now? ”

At this time, several old guests next to him couldn't help laughing, the shopkeeper's face turned into a pig's liver color, and he turned around and left directly, it is estimated that he will not reappear before Lin Fengjin and the others leave, and this face is also embarrassed.

Ma Wen was still very stunned at this time, and called out a few times "uncle" and "uncle", and finally pursed his mouth and said unwillingly:

"Ah, how did this uncle go? (To be continued......)
