Chapter 21 Going to the Grave
Chapter 21: Going to the Tomb Yuyan's eyes rolled and she said firmly, "But inside that whistle coffin we found the iron needle seal that only our family can use."
As he spoke, he glanced at Er Yuehong cautiously.
"Dad, you swore not to go into the tomb again, so I'm the only one who goes there!"
Er Yuehong sat back in his chair, stroking the rice paper on the desk with his fingers, thinking about whether there was any other way to solve this problem.
But unfortunately, Er Yuehong’s ancestral techniques cannot be passed on to outsiders at will.
Chenpi is uncontrollable, and only Yatou and Erya can control him.
For a moment, Er Yuehong was in trouble.
Seeing that Er Yuehong couldn't think of a solution, Yuyan hurried forward and spoke while massaging Er Yuehong's shoulders.
"Dad is just worried about my safety, so why not just let Brother Chenpi go with me?"
Er Yuehong closed his eyes and said nothing, but Yuyan knew that this was a sign that he was struggling and considering.
"That's all."
After a long while, Er Yuehong finally uttered the word of compromise.
"Go and prepare. Don't rush directly into the tunnel like you did today!"
When Er Yuehong mentioned this, he became angry and hit Yuyan's head hard.
"Hiss, Daddy is in pain!"
Er Yuehong gave Yuyan a displeased look and said, "It hurts, so you'll remember it!" Then he walked out.
Although Er Yuehong was angry, he still prepared everything for Yuyan.
When they set out the next day, Yuyan saw people carrying large and small bags of tangerine peel as soon as they stepped out of the door.
"Brother, why don't you put something down?"
Although there were a lot of things, Chenpi still shook his head.
Seeing Chenpi so persistent, Yuyan didn't say much, but gathered with Zhang Qishan and others at the agreed place.
"Are you here? Get on the horse."
Zhang Rishan rode on the horse and handed the reins in his hand to Yuyan.
Yuyan knew how to ride a horse. She took the reins and jumped onto the horse with a quick and neat move.
Chen Pi casually threw the things on his back to a member of the Zhang family who was following Zhang Qishan, and then found an empty horse and rode on it.
The Zhang family members who were forced to take the things took a look at the tangerine peel, then looked at the dessert handkerchief on top of the package, and they knew who it was prepared for.
Because they trained together since childhood, almost every member of the Zhang family knew Yuyan and had a good relationship with her.
So the Zhang family members who had their things thrown at them did not complain, but tied the things to the horse's back and put them away.
Zhang Qishan looked around and it seemed like someone was missing.
"Jingle Bell--"
Not far away, Qi Tiezui came over riding a little donkey with a bell hanging on it.
Zhang Rishan couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He tilted his head and asked, "What's going on? Master Ba is riding a donkey to go to the market?"
Qi Tiezui snorted twice and retorted, "What do you know, young people? The further you go into the mountains, the more comfortable the donkey will be!"
Zhang Qishan was too lazy to watch the two of them continue their bickering. After seeing that everyone had arrived, he called for them to set off.
Because of the experience from the previous day, the group found the tomb robber's hole effortlessly.
But unexpectedly, the hole was blocked.
Looking at the huge stone lying in front of her, Yuyan scratched her head and turned around to ask, "Uncle, we need to find another way."
If it explodes directly, I'm afraid the mountain will collapse!
Zhang Qishan pinched the bridge of his nose in a slightly irritated manner and directed the men to split into two groups.
One group went to look for other entrances, while the other group dug stones on the spot.
While searching, Yuyan slipped and disappeared.
This sudden scene caught Chenpi, who was following Yuyan, off guard. He could only watch Yuyan fall into a hole.
It is said that Yuyan is a tough kid. After falling down, she patted her butt, stood up and started to observe her surroundings.
It was very dark inside the cave, and the dust kicked up by Yuyan's fall was scattered in the air, making the air a bit pungent.
Chenpi didn't dare to shout loudly on top. What if he woke up the things in the cave?
I had no choice but to find Zhang Qishan quickly and tell him what had happened briefly.
After knowing that Yuyan had fallen into the cave, Zhang Qishan immediately asked people to rush to the edge of the cave, pull away the lush weeds, and expand the cave.
While people were busy with construction above, Yuyan was also busy below. She took out a night pearl from the space inside her body.
In an instant, a soft light illuminated the world.
This doesn't seem like a tomb? Could it be that the long-haired old man deceived them?
Of course, Yuyan was not a fool and would not act rashly. Instead, she held up the night pearl and took a good look at the area around her where she fell.
Looking closely, there seemed to be some scratches on the wall, as if someone had made them randomly out of frustration, or as if they were used to remember the time and date.
The ground beneath my feet feels solid, like it has been stepped on countless times.
Looking up, she saw several straight black shadows looming above her head. Yuyan glanced at the night pearl in her hand.
I still couldn't bear to throw the night pearl up there to light it up, so I decided to wait and wait for the uncles and others to come and use the flashlight.
Not long after, a rope was lowered, followed by the sound of someone falling to the ground.
"Are you injured?"
The first one to come down was Zhang Qishan. He was afraid that the noise would be too loud and would disturb the creatures in the cave, so Zhang Qishan's voice was also very low.
Yuyan shook her head and pointed at what she had just discovered. "This doesn't look like a tomb, but it does show signs of someone having lived here."
Combined with the mineral residues found in the mouths and on the clothes of some corpses on the train, Zhang Qishan immediately realized that this was a mine.
But how could the coffin with the ancient ring from the Southern Dynasties appear in the mine?
Instantly, Yuyan and Zhang Qishan thought of the same thing and said in unison: "Unless there is a tomb under the mine!"
Thinking of this, Yuyan broke out in a cold sweat.
Did the Japanese discover what was underneath? Did they get it?
Thinking of this, Yuyan couldn't bear to wait for everyone to come down anymore, and just wanted to rush forward to check the situation.
As the defense officer of Changsha, how could Zhang Qishan be any less anxious than Yuyan?
But he still had to wait for Chen Pi, Zhang Rishan and Qi Tiezui to come down before exploring further.
As they walked forward, the white silk threads on the roadside became more and more numerous, so many that they hindered the movement of several people.
Yuyan covered her hands with her sleeves and waved them. Looking at the road in front of her that was blocked by white silk, she took out a fire starter from her arms.
With a gentle blow, the flames ignited, and the burned white silk quickly curled up and turned into a pile of ashes scattered all over the ground.
This approach is actually quite risky, as can be seen from the red spot on Yuyan's forehead caused by the tangerine peel.
Yuyan, who was taught a lesson, covered her forehead and muttered, "It's a little dangerous, but it really works!"
Because as the flames burned out, a small path appeared next to it.
