Chapter 72 Fox Fairy Questions
  Although I haven't heard the white fox speak yet, my instinct is that this fox must be a male fox.

It was a solid intuition without any proof of inference, but the other party’s spirit gave me a very different feeling.

Even Grandma Hui, who used to talk nonsense before, never gave me such pressure.

When I was stunned, the fox on the table opened and closed his mouth, and a rich male voice sounded:
  "What's going on? Why don't you sleep at night? What are you doing around here?"

"Are these bones pretty or what? You guys farted!"

"What's the matter that I can't solve, and you still want to burn incense and invite me from the Northeast?"

It is indeed a male fox!

This fox was silent, but when he spoke he spoke with a Northeastern accent, I almost fell over.

But fortunately, I heard that the corner of the wall was considered a professional now. I quickly stabilized my figure and looked again, and I gained something again.

When the male fox opened his mouth, smoke surged around him. That body was obviously made of rising smoke from burning incense!
  It turns out that Mr. Hu’s family protector is not here!

Boss Hu was also a little helpless and bowed and saluted:

"Grandpa Hu, this disciple is in a dilemma, so I invited you here."

"Let Grandpa go there this time. There will be offerings later. I won't say much now. Grandpa, see if you can go underground for us and find the soul of this corpse? We can just finish asking. , and don’t disturb Grandpa’s rest.”

The male fox known as Grandpa Hu shook his ears:

"Okay, I've lived for so many years, and you, the junior, talk the most. Is this the skeleton? Hurry up, Liu Liu and I have an appointment to play mahjong."

Mr. Hu kept saying yes, and the male fox lowered his head next to the corpse and began to close his eyes and meditate.

An idea came to my mind uncontrollably——

Do these group of mahjong fairies really love playing mahjong?

Before I could figure out the reason, I heard a scream from the male fox, and the bones on the ground began to tremble non-stop, and there was a kaba kaba sound all over me.

wrong.

Not the whole body, but the chin of the white-bone skull, which was constantly opening and closing!
  I know it wants to get up and talk!

But it is now a bone!
  Their bodies are covered with bones, and they have no organs for human speech. These people have attracted ghosts, and how do they plan to make the ghosts talk! ?
  The next second, I understood.

Because I saw Grandpa Hu sniffing the bones a few times, then turning the beard on his lips and sucking lightly——

The bones on the ground stopped shaking.

Then Grandpa Hu's dark eyes looked like he was seeing the camp and the people in it for the first time. He turned his head and looked around, his eyes were confused and frightened, and his words no longer had an accent. The tone is calm, but much younger, with some southern accents:

"W-where am I? Am I out? My head hurts so much, and my body hurts so much that I can't seem to move."

"Who are you? Where's Brother Daniu? Did he save me?"

The frivolous man and Scarface looked at each other, not daring to say anything.

Boss Hu deliberated for a few seconds and said deliberately vaguely:

"It took us a lot of effort to bring you out of the birth canal." The male voice was stunned and his voice was trembling:
  "Ah, indeed, there are so many ghost babies. I'm so thankful to be able to save me."

"Who are you? Where are you? Did Brother Daniu escape?"

Boss Hu continued to practice Tai Chi:

"Daniu didn't run out, he's still underground."

"The underground dragon turned over and the tomb revealed itself. Otherwise we wouldn't have come here to find you. If you want to save him, just tell us what happened. We all have the same desire to enter the tomb. You are useful. We can save you too.”

The male voice was full of disbelief:

"The earth dragon turned over? Why did the earth dragon turn over?"

"We calculated before we came here. This place is well covered. Not to mention decades, even hundreds of years, the earth dragon will be suppressed by the Yin Qi gathered in the Anxing Mountains and unable to stand up."

The man's voice was full of reluctance:
  "Almost, just a little bit."

"We are the captains of Mojin who have passed on the official position. We can't go wrong with the tomb we ordered, but this time we couldn't even enter the tomb. Jianjun was even eaten by the ghost baby."

The male voice was distant, painful, and speechless, as if it would be pulled away at any time.

I noticed the keyword "Mojin Xiaowei". According to legend, this was an official position established by Emperor Wu of Wei in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He specialized in tomb robbing skills and stole property from major tombs to pay for the army.

Later, this trade survived as a specialized Yinmen trade. I have seen a few descriptions of this trade in the notes of my second uncle. It is said that people who engage in this trade will have a 'golden talisman' on their bodies that symbolizes their status. One is to ward off evil spirits, and the other is to prove identity.
  Wait, the thing that disappeared from this man's neck couldn't be the 'golden touch charm', right? !
  Boss Hu in the camp was obviously aware of this. He immediately introduced himself to his family and stated the purpose of his trip. He was much more sincere than before, and he did not forget to add one sentence at the end:
  "Everyone reports to the top of the mountain. My brother said that he is a gold captain. Where is the certificate?"

The man was treated politely, and he was obviously a little dazed. He already believed the kind-faced man who had led him out of the hole, and immediately said:
  "Although I touched the gold captain, I didn't touch the gold talisman on my body for the time being."

"The situation was too dangerous before. Those ghost babies were pestering us like crazy. If one of us touched the gold talisman, we would definitely not be able to get out. So I gave my gold talisman to Brother Daniu. He has a wife and children. We need to go home more than we do.”

"He values ​​friendship. If he goes out on his own, he will definitely help me take care of my mother. But I didn't expect that. I came out, but he didn't come out. Alas."

The man let out a long sigh. Lost in memories, he obviously didn't see the calculation flashing in Boss Hu's eyes.

Boss Hu said again:

"Brother, you are too worried. You are also a person who values ​​friendship."

"Otherwise, if you come out now, your brother is still underground. There are many people here, but there are not many useful people. Why don't you and I work together to dig the tomb, my brother, and yours?" Brothers."

"How about it?"

Although the man had been dead for more than ten or twenty years, his brain was obviously still there. Faced with the olive branch thrown by Boss Hu at this time, he did not catch it immediately. He pondered for a long time before saying:
  "No matter what business you are in, it is taboo to give advice halfway or split up the family."

"It's definitely impossible for us, the underworld, to share a share of the pie with our brothers, so there's no need to coax me."

"You always want to know about the tomb. Let me tell you, if you rescue my brother Daniu, then everything will be settled. What do you think, brother?"

Boss Hu was obviously a little surprised, but he immediately nodded in agreement.

The man's voice was a little frustrated, and he said in a deep voice:
  "Then I will say as much as I want, and please keep your promise, brother."

"After all, the map we drew by tapping the acupuncture points is still on Brother Daniu. It is naturally beneficial and harmless to save him."
