Merchant of the Underworld

The forest farm in Linlongshan has resumed logging.

Seeing that I was a talented person, he wanted to keep me and offered me a monthly salary of 200,000 yuan. But working for such people and living a life of freedom and restraint was not what I wanted, so I took Li Mazi back with me.

What Li Mazi disliked the most was owing favors, so the first thing he did after returning home was to find the man in the T-shirt to pay back the money.

But how can it be so easy to repay this money? After all, the man in the T-shirt comes and goes without a trace, and it is difficult to meet him on weekdays, so I can only save the money first and wait until I see the man in the T-shirt.

Next, there was aimless waiting again. The chief physician told us that Chu Chu’s cells were aging rapidly, and they were still testing the specific cause.

After all, I was telling Li Mazi that Chu Chu didn't have long left...

Although Li Mazi was calm on the surface, he was actually despairing. After the chief physician left, he found a deserted place and cried hysterically.

Li Mazi was crying outside, and Chu Chu was crying inside. I didn't know how to comfort them both.

After Li Mazi finished crying, he took me to a local restaurant and ordered a bottle of wine and some side dishes.

While moving my chopsticks, I comforted Li Mazi and said, "Let's ask the man in the T-shirt again, shall we?" The T-shirt man can definitely help us.

But Li Mazi said helplessly that he had already recognized the reality. Now he has no other ideas. He just hopes that after Chu Chu's death, she can go down there and no longer suffer, and be happy every day.

I comforted Li Mazi and said that Chu Chu was kind-hearted and had done a lot of good deeds, and would definitely go to heaven.

After Li Mazi drank a glass of wine, he suddenly raised his head and asked me: "Have you heard of Yongle Coffin?"

"Yongle coffin?" I was suspicious and looked at Li Mazi inexplicably: "Why are you asking about this thing?"

Yongle coffin, I know it well. The last time he was in Wild Dog Ridge, Li Mazi had inquired with the man in the T-shirt.

The Yongle coffin is a very wonderful yin object. It is said that no matter how unjust the person died, once he was buried in Yongle's coffin, there would be a smile on the corner of his mouth and a look of satisfaction on his face.

No matter how big your grievances are, they will be dissipated by Yongle's coffin, and you will die extremely peacefully, and you will be superior to others after you die.

However, the man in the T-shirt said that this kind of thing is just like the Night Dragon Eater. It can only be found but not sought. Generally, only high-level people can afford this kind of coffin. It is simply difficult to get it for the royal family and the like. Ascend to heaven.

Could Li Mazi want to do this?

I was startled by his bold idea, and looked at Li Mazi with burning eyes.

Li Mazi said to me: "Now I have clues about Yongle's coffin. Senior Shu told me. He agreed to go with us. With him here, I think we will definitely find Yongle's coffin."

I immediately cursed angrily: "That old bastard is half buried in the loess. I think he wants to use the Yongle coffin! Don't listen to his nonsense, he just wants to lie to us."

"No." Li Mazi said resolutely: "I have discussed it with him. After Chu Chu dies, let Chu Chu use it first. After Chu Chu is buried, the Yongle coffin will be useless, and then give it to Senior Shu. Kill two birds with one stone, who can Everyone can benefit.”

I was stunned for a moment: "Is that old bastard really so kind?"

Li Mazi glanced at his watch and said, "He should be arriving soon!"

Only then did I know that Li Mazi had made an appointment with Senior Shu. Originally, Li Mazi wanted to discuss specific matters in a big hotel, but Senior Shu was worried about exposing himself, so he asked Li Mazi to choose this small local restaurant.

Soon, Senior Rat arrived too late. He still has that sly look on his face, and those who don't know will definitely mistake him for a thief. After seeing us, Senior Shu came up to us enthusiastically, smiled and asked if we had discussed it yet. Without further ado, it’s best to hurry up.

Li Mazi immediately said that he was ready and could leave at any time. Then he asked Senior Shu, is his intelligence prepared?

Senior Rat smiled and reassured us that as long as we did as he said, there would be no problem.

Li Mazi also wanted to ask about the specific situation, but Senior Shu said that there are many people in this place, so we can talk about it after everyone gets in the car.

I was dumbfounded for a while. We didn’t even prepare anything, so we were leaving now?

Senior Shu smiled obscenely and said: "Boy, we have to race against time regarding Yongle's coffin. If it's too late, it will be stolen by others..."

Now Senior Shu and Li Mazi are obsessed with the Yongle coffin and won't think too much about it. Li Mazi didn't even go to say goodbye to Chu Chu in person, he just sent a text message and drove directly.

In the car, Senior Shu patiently told us about Yongle’s coffin.

When Senior Shu was young, he traveled extensively and had rich connections all over the country. The news about Yongle's coffin was told to him by an old friend of Senior Shu.

Senior Shu’s old friend is a native of Miaojiang. As we all know, the custom of burying people in Miao territory is very strange. The coffin is hung on the cliff, which is the famous "hanging coffin".

Sometimes the whole mountain wall is densely covered with coffins. If a passerby who doesn't know the details passes by late at night, he will definitely be frightened and faint.

Some time ago, Senior Shu, an old friend, went up the mountain to collect herbs and accidentally fell onto a hanging coffin on the coffin cliff.

He fell so badly that his calf was broken.

In such an inaccessible place, the only way to end up with such a serious injury is death. He was so frightened that he shouted for help on the coffin for a long time, but no one answered.

He was so desperate that he could only sit on the hanging coffin and gather his strength, hoping to escape.

As soon as he lay like this, he fell asleep inexplicably. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the area around him was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. He immediately reached out vaguely to touch it, and then realized that he was actually locked in a coffin.

Under him, there was a soft body that still retained its temperature. This shocked him. Could it be that this person had just died? But judging from the appearance of the coffin, it must be at least a few hundred years old, right?

Without thinking too much, he kicked off the coffin lid and jumped out.

Through the moonlight, he discovered that the body in the coffin was not rotten, and was even a wet corpse, well preserved.

But what is puzzling is that the other party is actually wearing a python robe from the Ming Dynasty, with an ancient bronze sword beside him, and his majestic face looks like a high official in the court. And there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was asleep.

But most of the clothes on his body were rotten, and in line with the coffin's riddled appearance, Senior Rat's old friend immediately realized that this man had been dead for hundreds of years, and the only reason why he was dead and not rotten was The reason is that this coffin is a Yongle coffin.

Only the Yongle coffin can keep the body incorruptible for hundreds of years and make the deceased smile!

What made him even more convinced that the coffin was a Yongle coffin was that most of the injuries on his legs recovered overnight, leaving only some redness and swelling on the skin.

But this was not a problem for him, an experienced herb collector. In the end, he climbed out of the coffin cliff. The first thing he did after going back was to call Senior Shu, because Senior Shu had entrusted him to inquire about the Yongle coffin. It's over.

The Yongle coffin is a yin object, and its effect is so powerful that it is very difficult to solve.

Although Senior Rat traveled all over the country and was full of kung fu, he was old and frail and could not do many physical jobs, so he thought of us.

I don’t have high hopes for this Yongle coffin, because I subconsciously feel that femininity is the same as men, and neither one is good. To use this kind of thing on a dead person is to go against nature.

Even if the deceased can temporarily enjoy the sweetness, what will happen after that? Is it really a good thing that the body does not rot? Does the smile on the corpse's mouth really mean anything?

But I know that nothing I say now is in vain. Li Mazi and Senior Shu are bastards who are determined to weigh themselves.

Soon, we entered Hunan. Although Yin Xinyue's hometown also belongs to the Miao border, they are already on the Yunnan border and are still thousands of miles away from here.

Driving on the Hunan Provincial Highway, the car was twisting and turning, and I was not sure if we were leaving Hunan. Finally, we stopped in a small mountain col.

This place is deserted, and if you go further, you will find a small trail leading through the mountains.

I was a little depressed, so I asked Senior Rat if we wanted to walk through this small trail?

Senior Shu smiled and nodded, saying that he would call his old friend now and ask him to pick us up.

It would be easy for us to get lost on these mountains without someone to guide us.

However, Senior Shu called three or four times in succession, but failed to get through. I saw it was already getting very late, so I said why not go out first? Come back early tomorrow morning, it will be safer.

Senior Mouse firmly disagreed, saying that the scenery here is beautiful and just suitable for camping.

Li Mazi also nodded repeatedly.

How could I not know what the two of them were thinking? Obviously he was worried that someone else would get on Yongle's coffin first, so he kept a vigil here.

There is no choice but to stay. Fortunately, there are abundant products here. We dug two traps according to the instructions of Senior Mouse, and caught two roe deer in a short time.

Thinking of the delicious roe deer meat, a lot of my worries disappeared. The last time I ate roe deer meat with Yin Xinyue in the Dai tribe, my mouth is watering just thinking about it now.

After the barbecue, we locked the car doors and spent the night in the car. The scenery here is quite good, with the sunset glowing red over half of the sky, and the evening breeze in the mountains and forests blowing against me, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.

In a daze, I actually felt someone pressing on me!
