Chapter 46: The Truth

  Things have become clear now, it seems that this old king indeed has some unknown experiences. Said: "It's been half a century since the thing happened, I didn't expect to dispel the fog today and find it back. Young man, it seems you really have fate with this jade."

  Qin Feng smiled calmly, but still looked puzzled, and asked: "Grandfather Wang, is there a secret to this jade?"

  "Fang Zi handed this jade pendant to me before his death, but I was afraid of causing trouble, so I let Fang Zi put it back in the tomb. Because this piece of jade has also been wanted by the Japanese devils all along."

  After a pause, Old Man Wang continued: "At that time, the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army was Muraoka Chotaro. After Zhang Zuolin executed Guo Songling, the Japanese wanted to get their hands on Zhang's hidden treasure. However, due to his own feud with Zhang, Muraoka personally ordered the pursuit and capture of what the Fengtian clique called a 'rebel faction', namely Fangzi."

  "So you're saying Liu Qi was killed by the Japanese?" Qin Feng asked back.

  "That's a later story, after Guo Songling was killed, Fangzi laid down the six Ding array method around Guo Songling's tomb, without setting up a monument or doing anything else, just to prevent the Japanese from finding him and letting this treasure fall into Japanese hands."

  "Is this the old jade of Xuyan?" Qin Feng asked again.

  "Ah, Fangzi said that no matter what, we couldn't let this ancient jade fall into the hands of the Japanese, or else there would be big trouble. But later on, both Fangzi and I were caught by Murata Nagatane, and Fangzi was killed by him while trying to save me. And I was stabbed blind in both eyes by those bastards. From then on, I changed my name to Wang Zaoxia."

  Listening to Old Man Wang's experience, on the one hand, Qin Feng and Lin Ruochen felt sorry for his miserable experience. On the other hand, Qin Feng may have also realized the importance of this piece of jade. Even the Japanese wanted it, which means there must be some secret hidden inside. So, Qin Feng asked again: "Old Master Wang, is this piece of jade really that important?"

  After hearing this, Wang Lao Han seemed to be in a state of mind and responded: "Since you broke the six Ding Yin array, I might as well tell you this secret that has been sealed for a long time. In those years, Zhang Zuolin was extravagant and greedy, and he had collected many treasures, which were handed over to Guo Songling for safekeeping. However, Guo Songling was dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's behavior of being tyrannical and greedy, so he secretly hid one of the most important treasures. It is said that this treasure alone would be enough for the entire Kwantung Army's military pay for ten years. Therefore, after Guo Songling's betrayal, the Japanese had their eyes on these two treasures."

  "Where did you hide all those treasures?" Qin Feng asked

  。

  After taking a sip of tea, Old Man Wang continued: "I don't know, but at least this jade is very important. Fangzi told me these things, the rest of the mystery still needs to be solved by the world, I hope it doesn't fall into the wrong hands."

  It's clear that this sentence is warning Qin Feng and Lin Ruochen. Just now, after hearing Old Man Wang say so, I realized that Zhou Qin's words about Guo Songling hiding the "Female History Admonitions" might be true, but where that treasure is hidden is still unknown, only this jade knows.

  After bidding farewell to Old Man Wang, Qin Feng and Lin Ruochen strolled along the road. Reflecting on what Old Man Wang had just said, Qin Feng felt that it was a significant gain, at least proving that this piece of ancient jade did indeed hold secrets, and perhaps could really find treasure, making some small fortune (although not a large one, but still enough to reap some benefits).

  Having made up his mind, Qin Feng was about to discuss with Zhou Qin how to solve this puzzle. Just then, a sudden ringing of the phone startled Qin Feng, and when he opened it, it turned out to be Zhou Qin's call.

  "Hey, Big Brother Zhou, have you recovered from your illness?"

  "It's all right now, where are you Qin Feng?" Zhou Qin sounded like he was in a hurry.

  "What's going on here at Lao Ma Street?"

  "Wait for me, I'll go find you right away!"

  "What's wrong, Brother Zhou Qin?"

  "News came from Liuyecun again, saying that someone saw a ghost, wait for me at the intersection of Laoma Street, I'll pick you up right away!"

  After hanging up the phone, Qin Feng suddenly felt a sense of alarm and realized that things were not going well. He thought it would be better to let Lin Ruochen go back by herself first. But Lin Ruochen started acting coquettishly, jumping into Qin Feng's arms and insisting that he take her with him.

  Helpless, Qin Feng had no choice but to agree.

  Drove hastily to Liu Ye Village, at this time the construction site on Town Demon Mountain had not started yet, and the old man who was sitting there smoking a tobacco pipe was still there.

  "How did you come again?" The old man, seeing that it was them, couldn't hide his surprised expression and wanted to advise them to return immediately. "You quickly go back, there are monsters here!"

  "What monster?" This time, Zhou Qin took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes and handed it to the old man, asking while smoking.

  "It was something I found, a filthy thing that looked somewhat like a wild man"

  The old man took over the Chinese cigarette and began to speak with great interest.

  "Old man, when have you ever seen it?" Qin Feng asked first.

  The old man took a puff of smoke and said without thinking: "It was last night, according to the leader's instructions, I can only get off work at 7 o'clock every evening. Just yesterday morning, I saw a figure flashing around, so I took out my flashlight and shone it on him, who knew that with just one shine, I found this person to be terribly frightening..."

  When he said that, the old man paused for a moment, as if he had been frightened by what happened yesterday. Qin Feng comforted him and the old man continued to say: "To get back to the point, when I saw him, I thought it was just some kids' prank, but who knew that after taking a closer look, I found bloodstains on his head, sticky and stuck on top. And he wasn't walking, he was jumping."

  "What's going on?" Lin Ruochen asked in surprise.

  "Ah, it's like those zombies in movies, jumping and walking." The old man repeated.

  Listening to the old man's words, Qin Feng finally confirmed that it was indeed a Yin Corpse, only this Yin Corpse had not yet fully transformed into an undead.

  "Later, I reported to the police, and they searched around, saying there was nothing, so they left. But I really saw it, just at the edge of the willow forest in front, he was going to attack me, luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have been dead."

  。。。。。。

  After bidding farewell to the old man, Qin Feng and Zhou Qin and Lin Ruochen walked towards the mountain together. Originally, the old man was strongly opposed to it, fearing that Qin Feng and others would encounter this strange creature, but Qin Feng and others insisted on going up the mountain, and the old man had no choice but to sigh and agree.

  "Qin Feng, do you think he's telling the truth?" At this time, Lin Ruochen was somewhat unbelievable about what the old man said.

  But for Qin Feng, with the testimony of witnesses and the dead migrant worker from a few days ago, it's already an open-and-shut case. At this point, not believing is no longer an option.

  "Yinshi really exists, it just needs a very special environment to form. Because it's similar to zombies, most of them become zombies. However, yinshi is easier to deal with than zombies. Let's search the mountain and see if we can find any clues."

  As they spoke, Qin Feng pulled Lin Ruochen's hand and went up the mountain through the willow forest.
