Chapter 11 Gathering Souls and Beads (11) Yunhe Plum Blossom Buckle
After leaving Chen Jitong, Zhao Shan went straight back to the police station. She was going to the archives room of the police station to find out Qin Aizhen's specific address.Huang Lei and I also parted ways and left separately.

When I walked to the entrance of the Antique City, I realized that the Yunhe Plum Blossom button was actually in my pocket. Then I remembered that when Boss Chen gave the button just now, Huang Lei and Zhao Shan were looking at Chen Jitong's record book , That button was put away by me.But that's okay, it's an ancient object, just right for Uncle Geng to take a look at.

As soon as I entered the gate of Qingya Zhai, I saw Hou Sanzheng and Uncle Geng playing chess, their faces were red from arguing.Seeing me, Hou San suddenly seemed to have met a savior.

"Come on, come on, Xiao Leng, look at this game, who wins."

I walked over and took a look, and there were not many pieces left on the chessboard, it was a dead chess game.But the two of them had to decide the outcome.

"I'll show you something good." I picked up the Yunhe Plum Blossom Buckle.

Sure enough, the buttons are more attractive than the chess pieces.Uncle Geng and Hou San put down their argument and looked at the button carefully.While watching, Uncle Geng spoke approvingly about the history and identification methods of buttons.

"Xiao Leng, where did you find this thing?" Hou San stared at the button and asked.

"Well, it's a long story." I briefly talked about what happened to Zhao Shan.

"So, the things you encountered are still stubble." Hou San looked at me thoughtfully.

Uncle Geng didn't say a word, he walked behind the table and took a magnifying glass to look at a box carefully, and then drew a thread from it for comparison.

I didn't want to tell Hou San so much at first, but Hou San said that Uncle Geng called him to come and help me.So he told Hou San exactly what happened.

At this moment, Uncle Geng stood up, picked up the button and looked at it, and then looked at me with a solemn expression, "Are you sure the button was pulled from the clothes?"

I was stunned for a moment, and Hou San next to me was also a little surprised.

"The buttons are indeed Yunhe plum blossom buttons, but there is a thread on the buttons. This thread is not an antique." Uncle Geng showed us with a magnifying glass.

"It's nothing, maybe the button is sewn on with modern thread." Hou San said.

"No, cranes appeared on some ancient objects one after another from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, implying auspiciousness. Plum blossoms were engraved on objects together with magpies in the late Qing Dynasty, implying happy brows. Originally, these two It will not be linked together. There is only one situation where Yunhe and Plum Blossom can be linked together, and that is to be buried with them. Everyone knows that the Yellow Emperor of Jiajing paid attention to Taoism and admired the things of the immortal family. It is said that he once secretly organized a An army of Taoist priests, dedicated to seeking immortals and gods. Later, that army was also buried with Jiajing after his death. All the people buried with him wore golden silk Taoist robes, and the Taoist robes were knotted with Yunhe plum blossom buckles.

It is said that Emperor Qianlong went to dig the tomb of Emperor Jiajing, not just to dig up the beasts in front of the tomb, but to find the few Taoist priests who were buried with him.Since then, the Yunhe plum blossom buckle has only appeared in the antiques market. " Uncle Geng said.

Hou San and I were dumbfounded when we heard this. We never thought that there are so many stories behind a small button.

"So, who would take this kind of button and sew it on the clothes with modern silk thread?" Uncle Geng looked at us and asked.

"Could it be someone who doesn't understand?" Hou San said.

"Xiao Leng also said that the button was pulled from the mysterious person. If someone who doesn't understand, how could he get involved in this matter? I don't think this matter is simple. In this way, Hou San, you take Xiao Leng went to have a look and tried to help Zhao Shan solve this matter."

"For a long time, I still care about your daughter." Hou San laughed.

"Your grandma has a leg, if you don't want to, go back." Uncle Geng stared, a little anxious.

"You old man, I can't say a word about you. I didn't say no." Hou San shrugged his shoulders, walked to my side, and pulled me away.

Hou San asked me to take him to the house where the mysterious man was found.I have suffered enough along the way.Hou San was like a monkey, chattering, asking this and that.Uncle Geng also told him that I already knew about them. In addition to telling the whole story about how he used to find ancient objects and get rid of the strange spiritual things on them, he also told me many things about Uncle Geng.When it came to the end, there was really nothing to say, and it even came to Zhao Shan.

"Zhao Shan is a nice girl. I watched her grow up from the bottom. In recent years, she has become more and more beautiful. She is three years older than you. I think Lao Geng treats you well, It is said that female juniors can still hold gold bricks."

"Third Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about?" Hearing this, my face turned red. I don't know why, but I always think of the scene of Zhao Shan sticking to my body.

"Haha, don't blame Third Uncle for having a bad mouth. But Zhao Shan is not a tame girl. She had a boyfriend before..."

"What?" This is really unexpected. I heard Chen Mu say that Zhao Shan never fell in love.

"It's nothing. By the way, ask Zhao Shan if she found that Qin Aizhen." Hou San chuckled and changed the subject.

I think he didn't want to say anything, and he didn't continue to ask.

Zhao Shan never answered the phone.

Hou San and I got off the bus, and when we came to Beihuan Road, I received a text message from Zhao Shan.

"We found Qin Aizhen."

I immediately called Zhao Shan, but she turned off the phone.Looking at the text message, she said, are we with Huang Lei?So I called Huang Lei again.

Huang Lei quickly answered the phone. Before I could ask, Huang Lei told me a place, Jiefang No. [-].

"What place is this?" I asked again, but Huang Lei hung up the phone.

"You don't need to ask, I know where it is." Hou San who was next to him spoke.

"Jiefang No. [-]? I've never heard of this place!" I looked at him suspiciously.

"It is the No. [-] cemetery next to the Yucheng cemetery." Hou San said, "The cemetery in Yucheng was called Jiefang No. [-] before, but after it was planned, it became deserted. In addition, there were some murders there in the early days of Liberation." , and then it was completely deserted.”

My brows were wrinkled, how could they find there?Could it be that Qin Aizhen's grave is there?
Hou San and I drove over by car.

There are wreath and shroud shops everywhere near Yucheng Cemetery, and even the roadsides are crowded with small vendors selling paper money wreaths.I followed Hou San along the back door of the cemetery, into a tree-lined path, and saw a garden full of weeds.The garden is lush and full of perennials, and some black tombstones hidden in the weeds can be vaguely seen.

I picked up the phone and called Huang Lei.

"We are in the wake room." Huang Lei said.

Hou San pursed his lips, and there stood a lonely house not far in front of him, which was the mourning room.

Passing through the weeds and tombstones, I suddenly felt an inexplicable fear in my heart.Although the Yucheng Cemetery is not far from the garden, there are still some fears in such an environment.

"Something's not quite right." Hou San stopped suddenly, and took out the mahogany sword from his bag, only to see the bell on his mahogany sword ringing non-stop.

"What's wrong?" I looked around warily.

"Haha, I saw you were scared, what should I do if something happens in the future?" Hou San laughed, "My mahogany sword will do this whenever I go to a sinister place."

Perhaps the vigil room was darker, but after entering, the bell on Hou San's mahogany sword kept ringing.Inside, I saw Huang Lei and Zhao Shan.But the strange thing is that Zhao Shan sat on the side without saying a word, while Huang Lei stood beside her numbly.

"Huang Lei." I yelled, and at the same time, the basalt chain on my wrist began to shrink, holding it tightly. This feeling happened when Tiantai and Uncle Geng met Lin Han last time.And now it's showing up again.

Hou San's expression became solemn, and the bell on the mahogany sword in his hand rang non-stop, hurriedly.

"Zhao Shan, what are you doing?" Hou San walked over and asked.

"Look at her head." Huang Lei spoke suddenly.

Hou San probed towards it, and I just took two steps forward when Huang Lei, who was next to Hou San, suddenly punched Hou San hard on the back of the neck.

This time, Hou San fell to the ground without making a sound.

"Huang Lei, what are you doing?" I took two steps back vigilantly.

"What are you doing? You'll know soon." Huang Lei had a sinister smile on his face.

"Who the hell are you? Are you human?" I looked at him, not knowing what to say.

"Haven't you been looking for me? Now I'm jumping out to look for you." Huang Lei said.

While speaking, Hou San stood up on the ground, and then slashed at Huang Lei with the mahogany sword in his hand.In the end, Huang Lei was fine. He followed Hou San's foot and kicked him. This time, Hou San couldn't move at all.

"Third Uncle, how are you?" I was sweating profusely, Hou San came to help, but was knocked down before I even started.

"Take a mahogany sword and think I'm a ghost." Huang Lei shouted at Hou San, "Xiao Leng, let me ask you a question, do you like Zhao Shan?"

"What are you going to do?" I shrank in my heart.

"Hey." Huang Lei laughed, and the gloomy smile echoed in the wake room.
