Qimen's son-in-law

"Hey, Xiaoye, to tell you the truth, I have used all my connections, but I have only found less than one-tenth of the medicinal materials you mentioned so far. If this continues, I don't think nine months will be enough. Yao Shuchen was very happy when Ye Qi told him that his granddaughter’s illness could be cured. At first, Yao Shuchen thought that the precious medicinal materials that Ye Qi mentioned would not be a big problem. Not comprehensive. When he actually went to collect those medicinal materials, he found that the difficulty was not ordinary. There are many things that you can’t get if you have money or connections, because these things are too rare in the world, and they are hard to come by. .

"Do your best. After a while, I will meet a friend, maybe I can gain something, but I still have to prepare." The friend Ye Qi mentioned naturally refers to Yunyangzi, and Yunyangzi said that day , He has countless kinds of medicinal materials in Panshan, and Ye Qizheng is planning to find a weekend to go to Panshan to open a furnace for alchemy. Panshan is more than a hundred miles away from downtown Tiannan City, and it takes two or three hours to go back and forth.

"Really? Thank you so much." Yao Shuchen suddenly felt that his dagger was not in vain, and asked him to find those precious medicinal materials by himself. It might take years to collect them all.If there is no treatment, it is excusable, but if the granddaughter's illness is delayed due to insufficient medicinal materials, he will definitely regret it for life.

"Principal Yao, you're welcome. I'm in the same class as Yilin, and it's fate to meet each other. I'm just doing my part." Ye Qi waved his hand. He readily agreed to help Yao Shuchen collect herbs, to a certain extent It was because of the short sword, after all, it was short for holding people, but short for eating people.Taking advantage of others, but not doing things sincerely, Ye Qi felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"No matter what, I have to thank you, Xiaoye, if I hadn't met you, I really don't know what to do." Yao Shuchen said sincerely.

"Tell me about that dagger, Dean Yao, how did you get it?" What Ye Qi couldn't bear the most was compliments from others. He changed the subject in a timely manner, full of curiosity about the dagger Ye Qi, with its strange appearance , inexplicable material, especially it exudes the same breath as Yao Yilin.

"That's a long story." For Yao Shuchen, every collection is an unforgettable memory.

Following Ye Qi's question, his thoughts gradually returned to the archaeological excavation three years ago.

That archaeological excavation was of great significance to Yao Shuchen.The discovery of the complete tombs of the princes of the Warring States Period filled a gap in the history of domestic archaeology, and also made Yao Shuchen a well-known domestic archaeologist to an internationally renowned archaeologist.There is a difference of one word, but there is a difference of thousands of miles.

The tombs of the princes of the Warring States Period are located in the Si'an area of ​​Huinan Province. They are well-preserved. At the beginning, no traces of robbery were found. This kind of expert can't figure out how the tomb robbers entered the tomb, because all the previous signs show that the tomb has not been discovered by the tomb robbers, and the general robbery holes are dug from the outside to the inside, and the outside will inevitably There are traces left, but the robbery hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the tomb, which is really unimaginable.

When the door of the tomb was opened, an even more astonishing scene appeared.

This tomb turned out to be a rare structure of "one coffin and three coffins", and the three coffins were all made of bronze. People found that the three coffins had been opened. There is no trace of being turned over.On the edge of the bronze coffin, lay a rotten corpse with only bones left, and a black wooden box was pressed under the corpse.

To this day, the scene at that time still appears in front of Yao Shuchen from time to time.

He has been wondering how the tomb robber died.

Later, it was determined by professional means that the tomb robber died about 100 years ago, that is, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the wooden box under him was only more than 100 years old, and it was not the owner of the tomb. Strictly speaking , it was just an ancient relic but not a cultural relic, so Yao Shuchen took the wooden box back to the hotel where he lived for research.

If it is a cultural relic of the Warring States period, it is strictly registered, and it is impossible for people to take it out without permission.

"I took the wooden box back to the hotel, and just wanted to open it to watch it, but I didn't expect a phone call. During the period of answering the phone, Yilin, who came to the excavation site to see me during the summer vacation, opened the wooden box." Yao Shuchen He glanced at his granddaughter reproachfully, and said, "In the wooden box is the dark dagger I gave you. I guess this sword is the weapon of the tomb robber."

"Tomb robber's weapon?" Ye Qi was a little skeptical, but suddenly he realized a key problem, looked Yao Yilin up and down and said, "When you opened the wooden box, did you feel darkness in front of your eyes and lost your intuition for a short time?"

"How do you know?" Yao Yilin blurted out. At that time, she secretly opened the wooden box brought back by Yao Shuchen just out of curiosity. Later, Yao Shuchen found out that she was panicked and didn't care about the situation at that time. Thinking about it now, Ye Qi The situation described was the same as it was then.

Yao Shuchen looked at Ye Qi suspiciously, not knowing what Ye Qi meant.

"That's right." Ye Qi nodded in relief, and then explained: "According to the theory in my family's medical books, many difficult and miscellaneous diseases are caused by the entry of evil spirits into the body, and weeping blood is no exception. .”

"Yin evil enters the body?" Yao Shuchen and Yao Yilin doubted at the same time.Because no one has ever heard of this word.

"Yes, Yin evil enters the body." Ye Qi thought for a while, and said: "Plainly speaking, Yin evil is something that can cause disease. It is invisible and intangible, just like what people call bacteria and viruses now. The same. Different Yin Sha invades the human body and causes different diseases. Yilin suffers from weeping blood syndrome because a kind of Yin Sha that can cause weeping blood enters her body. The moment the Yin Sha enters the body, people will Temporary loss of consciousness, but the loss of consciousness is very short, about a second or two, and many people don't even notice it."

Yao Shuchen finally understood a little bit, and couldn't help doubting: "You mean when Yilin opened the wooden box, it was the time when the evil spirit entered the body, or that the evil spirit was in the wooden box?"

"You can say that." Ye Qi nodded, "As for why Yin Sha lurks in the wooden box, I don't know too well. It is possible that the owner of the tomb died of weeping blood disease, and Yin Sha has been sealed in the wooden box. In the bronze coffin, Yin Sha didn’t run into the wooden box until the tomb robber opened the coffin, as for how the tomb robber died, I can’t figure it out.”

"Unexpectedly, I brought Yilin this weeping blood disease." Yao Shuchen's voice trembled. If he had known this, he would have thrown the wooden box far away.He was even thinking that if he hadn't answered the call at that time, then all the problems would have been gone.
