The old man drove the car, pulling the donkey that Lu Yangming had turned into a donkey, as well as the sheep that Lu Hongyu had turned into a sheep, and led the way in front.
Zhang Chu also drove his own car and followed behind the old man’s car.
Half an hour later, it came to a rural village.
It was now five o’clock in the morning, and the countryside was still very peaceful, and the old man brought Zhang Chu and the others to a small courtyard.
At this time, the crowd got out of the car and arrived in front of the small courtyard.
From the looks of it, this small courtyard hadn’t been inhabited for a long time.
The gate was locked tightly, and through the gap in the door, one could see that the courtyard was full of weeds.
The old man did not open the door immediately, but instead came to the middle of the road not far from the gate, and he said to Zhang Chu, “Sir, at that time, when I encountered that coffin, it was parked at this place.”
Zhang Chu nodded, “So, that treasure is also buried in this small courtyard?”
The old man nodded instantly, “That’s right!”
At the same time, the old man let out a sigh, “In fact, our family has long since bought a house in the city through selling donkey meat roast, this small courtyard has long since been unoccupied, and there were quite a few people who wanted to buy this small courtyard of mine before.”
“However, once I thought of the fact that I buried quite a lot of gold, silver and jewellery here, I didn’t sell this small courtyard, and counted it as a thought for myself.”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, swept a glance at this small courtyard and spoke, “The roof tiles are low-hanging and shabby, and there are bats coming in and out, this doesn’t look like buried gold and silver jewellery.”
“Huh?”The old man froze for a moment, “Sir, I don’t understand your words.”
At this moment, Zhang Chu said, “Generally speaking, if gold and silver jewellery were buried in this courtyard, the tiles on the eaves, would not be pressed down, much less have bats moving in and out, but rather swallows frolicking around.”
“This small courtyard of yours, at a glance, there is no wealth stored inside, that gold, silver and jewellery, is not buried within this small courtyard.”
The old man immediately exclaimed, “Impossible ah, I remembered clearly at that time, after getting the treasures, I was in this courtyard, looking for a red cloth, wrapping those treasures and burying them.”
Zhang Chu did not explain more, but said, “Open the courtyard and go in to take a look.”
The old man wasted a lot of effort before he was able to open the lock of the door that had rusted.
Zhang Chu followed the old man into the courtyard.
At this time, the old man said, “Sir, you take a look in the courtyard first, I’ll go take out the silver ticket.”
At this time, Hot Pot followed Zhang Chu, his nose sniffing hard, trying to find the treasure through the smell.
When Zhang Chu saw that Hot Pot was working so hard, he immediately laughed, “No need to sniff, that treasure isn’t even in this small courtyard.”
When the hot pot heard that, it immediately plopped down on the ground, no longer working in vain.
And not long after that, that old man took an old book out, that silver ticket, was sandwiched in that old book.
“Sir, look, it’s this silver ticket, I’ve been saving it!”The old man said.
Zhang Chu took the silver ticket and found that the text on it was twisted, and upon closer inspection, some of the lines were even moving, looking as if earthworms were crawling.
Zhang Chu’s eyes instantly narrowed, “Hmm? Surprisingly, it’s corpse writing!”
Generally speaking, the script used by people in the Yang world was Yang Script, and the script used by beings in the Netherworld was Yin Script.
But other than Yin and Yang scripts, there was also an extremely rare script called Corpse Script, which was the script used by high-level zombies.
But this kind of script can rarely be seen, because since the popularity of cremation, such things as zombies are already rare.
Moreover, zombies want to use the text, need to cultivate extremely high to be able to do, so this kind of text, only exists in the legend.
Unexpectedly, this silver cheque, actually written in zombie text.
At this moment, the old man asked, “Mr Zhang, can you tell where those treasures are?”
Zhang Chu nodded and spoke, “According to the information on here, that treasure of yours should be hidden in your family’s ancestral home.”
“Ancestral mansion?”The old man frowned slightly as he pointed to the courtyard behind him, “This is my family’s ancestral home! My own father and mother were all sent away from this mansion, there is no other ancestral home.”
However, Zhang Chu shook his head, “Not here.”
“Then where is it?”The old man asked.
Zhang Chu then stared at the old man, slightly deducing in his mind, followed by Zhang Chu speaking, “You’re not born of your parents, right?”
The old man froze for a moment before he said, “Yes, I was carried over from my third uncle’s room.”
This old man’s real father was actually his third uncle.
Because his real father couldn’t have children, but his third uncle’s family had about ten children, and they couldn’t feed that many children in those days.
So, the old man’s father, from his third uncle’s side to carry a child over, as his own son to raise.
This kind of thing was very common in the countryside in the old days, when one of the brothers couldn’t have children, they would carry a child from their brother’s side or younger brother’s side, and live the same way.
Zhang Chu immediately said, “That treasure is alive and recognises the ancestor, if you go to your third uncle’s family’s ancestral home and look for it, you will definitely be able to find it.”
When the old man heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, “My third uncle’s ancestral home? Go, go take a look!”
Soon, the old man led Zhang Chu and the others to an abandoned courtyard, which was similarly covered in weeds, and contained a few walnut trees, but because they were unmanaged, they grew very poorly.
At this time, the old man said, “My third uncle also passed away many years ago, and this ancestral home has been left unused.”
This was the current situation in the countryside now, many old houses, after the old man inside passed away, were left empty and would no longer be inhabited, a large number of people left the countryside and went to the city.
At this moment, Zhang Chu held that silver ticket and said to the old man, “If you want to find those treasures, you need to use this silver ticket, you can only cast the spell once, and after you find the treasures, you shouldn’t bury them.”
“Good!”The old man agreed.
At this moment, Zhang Chu said, “Find some firewood from this courtyard.”
The hot pot and the old man hurriedly made their move and searched for firewood in the courtyard, and after a short while, they built a small pile with it.
At this time, Zhang Chu said, “Old man, you can just light this pile of fire yourself, then burn the silver tickets, kowtow a few times to the fire, and beg Grandmother Corpse King to show you the way.”
The old man then followed Zhang Chu’s words and lit the fire and burned the silver ticket.
Then, he knelt down in front of the fire and after kowtowing a few times, he began to chant, “Corpse King Granny, please be merciful and tell me the location of that pile of treasure. Corpse King Granny, please ……”
After the old man recited a few sentences, the fire suddenly went out and a thick smoke came out.
Immediately after, that thick stream of smoke unexpectedly transformed into the appearance of a half-metre tall woman, walking in the small courtyard.
When the old man saw this, he immediately turned white with fear.
However, he immediately reacted that this was the “Corpse King’s Grandmother” that Zhang Chu had asked him to beg for.
So, the old man first kowtowed to the smoky silhouette, and after kowtowing a few times, the smoky silhouette even stopped under a plum tree, and she pointed to the plum tree, and directly disappeared.
Zhang Chu hurriedly went forward and said, “This is the place, dig!”
The old man was so excited that he didn’t even bother to look for a shovel and directly got down to digging.
The hot pot was also happy, and his two claws seemed to be like wind and fire wheels as he ploughed with all his might.
Not long after, the old man’s hand touched a piece of red cloth, he was instantly excited: “Found it!”
At this time, Zhang Chu also helped, and quickly dug out a large red cloth bag.
Opening it up, it was full of gold, silver, and jewellery that was dazzling.
