Because Lu Fengjian was not a member of the Yue family and was not included in the family tree, Yue Guanchao bribed the old patriarch Yue Baokang to give him a place in the Yue family cemetery.
In seven days, Yue Guanchao dug a grave for Lu Fengjian in the forest farm cemetery, set up a tombstone, hung white flags and sprinkled paper money, played and beat for several days, and finally allowed him to be laid to rest.
After the monument was sealed, Yue Qingshan felt a little melancholy when he saw Yue Guanchao sad. He pulled Yue Erpao out of the cemetery. He knew that his nephew had never cried, which would make him feel uncomfortable.
When a man is sad, he needs a chance to be alone!
"Ajian~"
Yue Guanchao took out pork and oil fruits and lit a handful of yellow paper in the brazier. The sparks flickered and the paper money was blown up by the wind.
He took out a jug of wine and poured it all under the tombstone: "Don't worry, I know the meaning of the pocket watch you put in my arms when you died."
Yue Guanchao took out the pocket watch from his pocket. Both sides were finely carved and could be flipped open. On one side was the dial, and on the other side was a photo of a little girl.
He turned over the yellow paper, and black and gray flickered in the air. He looked at the young face in the black and white photo and sighed:
"I thought you had given up on looking for your sister a long time ago. She has been separated from you for many years, and there are only photos of her when she was a child. It would be extremely difficult to find her.
"But don't worry, I know that you care about your sister the most. Before leaving, I asked Miss Song to find out the news for me in Fengtian. If there is any news, she will notify me. As long as I, Yue Guanchao, live for one day, I will definitely help you find it. I also hope that You have a spirit in heaven, bless your sister in heaven, and let me find him as soon as possible."
After the yellow paper burned out, Yue Guanchao stood up, patted his pocket watch and put it in his pocket. He looked back:
"But before that, we have to figure out what this beast-shaped necklace is!"
…
It was a cool night. After taking a shower, the uncle and nephew crossed their arms and looked at each other, looking at the animal-shaped necklace on the table.
When he was in Witch Coffin Town, Yue Guanchao was so focused on running for his life that he didn't even have time to see what the beast-shaped necklace looked like.
Only now did he have time to take a closer look. The beast-shaped pendant consisted of two parts, the beast charm pendant and the gold necklace!
The shape of the animal talisman is very clear, it is a tiger.
This tiger raised its head, with a mouth full of fangs, its front paws lying on the ground, its back arched, and its tail wrapped around the character "ji" and attached to its hind butt, which was vivid and lifelike.
It can be held with one hand. It is as black as ink, with strange seal characters engraved on the surface and gold lacquer dots of ink, shining brightly.
Outside the beast talisman, there is a thumb-width bronze hoop to imprison it.
The gold necklace is interlocked with each other. Each link is made of finely carved thick shell scales. The scales are not big, slightly smaller than the tip of a small fingernail. Gold beads, agate beads, and five-color stones are threaded between the scales. The colors are bold and strange and extravagant. .
"How did you bring this thing back?"
Yue Qingshan looked at the beast-shaped necklace and looked at his nephew with playful eyes: "Is there anything else hidden?"
Yue Guanchao's eyes widened, as if he had been guessed, he laughed a few times and took out the baggage.
He took out a bag of stuff from it and poured it on the table: "It's really gone this time. It's a pity that it's all given to these bandits. I'll keep some for myself."
Yue Qingshan used the handle of his pipe to count the beautifully cast gold shells. There were thirty in total. He took a deep breath and said, "Thanks to the gold shells, they didn't notice it. If Zhen Shen Feng noticed it, our lives would be in danger." Leave it at that.”
"Second uncle, isn't this used to honor you?"
When Yue Guanchao saw that the matter was exposed, he grinned and pushed it to Yue Qingshan.
"Well, since you are honoring your second uncle, I will accept it and save it for you two."
Old Man Yue was also unambiguous. He grabbed the handle of his pipe and pulled it over. Yue Guanchao's flesh ached when he saw it, and he grabbed the last few with a snap:
"Second uncle, it's almost done. Leave some for me. I still have to go to Fengtian to find the lost girl in Fengjian. It's hard to move without money."
"Okay, just use the money in the right place."
"But Uncle Second, you seem to know this stuff?"
Yue Guanchao had already noticed that his second uncle was not surprised when he saw the tiger-shaped necklace, which showed that he knew what it was.
Yue Qingshan played with the beast-shaped necklace:
"This thing is called a tiger talisman. It is a military talisman used by soldiers in ancient times. If they are united, they will send out troops to conquer. If they are divided, they will stand still. Generally, the generals will take half and the court will get half. Unless the troops are mobilized, they will never be combined."
"Your second uncle used to be a thief... When he was doing business with people outside the customs, someone once robbed a tomb and found a tiger talisman. There were various shapes, but the functions were the same."
Halfway through his words, the old man realized that his son didn't know he was a bandit, so he quickly changed his words to cover it up. Yue Guanchao understood clearly that his second uncle had probably seen other tiger symbols.
"Second uncle, do you know which dynasty and generation this tiger charm comes from?"
If they could identify which dynasty it was from, they could deduce what era the altar was from. There were so many small countries in the Northern Dynasties, who knew which dynasty built the altar in the mountains.
"I don't know about this. There have been tiger talismans in all dynasties, but the shape is different. I can't tell which dynasty this tiger talisman is from at the moment. I don't even know the runes. What can I tell."
"but!"
Yue Qingshan changed the subject: "I see there are five-color stones on the necklace. This kind of thing looks like a sacrificial vessel."
"Then you are right, this thing is on the statue of the Great Xianbei Witch, and I almost fell into her hands!"
Yue Guanchao thought about his experience in Wu Coffin Town, and he was still frightened. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up:
"Hey, second uncle, since it's a sacrificial vessel, why don't you ask Grandma Ma to give you a palm eye? I think her Baixiantang also has five-color stones. Maybe they were a nest in the past!"
"That's fine. Sister Ma has worked so hard this time. She really should go and reward her. I'll take you there tomorrow."
"However, there is a question that I have always wondered. How did you know that the money was hidden on the stove?"
As soon as Yue Qingshan's words came out, Yue Erpao shrank his head nervously. He knew his son was like his father. His actions could not avoid the vicious eyes of the old man Yue.
"Brother, you are not honest."
"What did I say?"
"Little bastard, let's see if I don't beat you to death."
Yue Qingshan took out the feather duster, this beating was inevitable!
