  About 1,500 years later, Hongcun had already taken shape. On the top of Lion Peak, there was a prototype of the ancient Leiyu tribe. At that time, the top of Lion Peak was flying with the majestic dragon snake flag, and the Tianmu Mountains, which were isolated from the world, kept this ancient tribe away from the changes of history and the turmoil of war. They lived by the mountain and water, building their own Shangri-La in these 100,000 mountains, and at that time, the Leiyu people were simple and happy.

  Fifteen hundred years ago, a person dressed in green came walking from the western mountains and rivers. The tribal chief at that time warmly received him. For over a thousand years, this was the first outsider to set foot in the Lei Yu tribe. That person taught them about the changes in the outside world, telling them about history, astronomy, arithmetic, geography, and literature. He stayed on Lion Mountain for three whole years.

  For three years, he lived with the Leiyu people, eating and living together, discussing past and present with the tribal leaders and elders. Gradually, this kind tribe had fully accepted this outsider, they learned new knowledge from him, and he learned about their ancient magic. The seemingly harmonious coexistence continued for two more years, until that year's lunar July 22nd, when the Leiyu tribe suffered a tragic disaster after a thousand years, half of the people in the tribe were innocent victims, and the person who came from the mountain below used an extremely vicious curse to wreak havoc on the defenseless people. The elders and warriors rose up to resist, while another group of warriors secretly took away the supreme treasure: the corpse of Nügui, leaving Hongcun village.

  After a bloody battle, the Lei Yu tribe suffered heavy casualties. After discovering that the corpse of Nü Gu had been taken away, that person pursued it all the way, and from then on those brave warriors were never heard of again, and the corpse of Nü Gu also disappeared from the world.

  Those who died were buried under Lion's Peak, with pyramid-shaped tombs being their unique form. The Leiyu people, who had lost the corpse of the female jester, also lost their divine power to summon thunderstorms and were forced to move down the mountain in search of a more suitable place to live, thus slowly forming the present-day Hong Village. The river water's impact on the valley's two sides created arable land, and the abundant river water gradually soothed the battered heart of the Leiyu tribe.

  The Leiyu people, who began to accept foreign civilizations, erected a tall archway with Chinese characters in Hongcun Village. In order to survive, they started trading with the outside world and gradually introduced more advanced technologies and civilizations to this ancient civilization. After another thousand years of development, the Hongcun people flourished and eventually formed modern-day Hongcun.

  They built villages, temples and ancestral halls here. They had strict family rules and teachings. The people of Hongcun adhered to the will of their ancestors, thinking about re-examining the lost female corpse of the past thousand years at all times. Everyone born here would die here, each person strictly guarding the secrets of Hongcun. At that time, Hongcun only had a very rugged road leading to distant villages and towns, and it was still possible to obtain precious tranquility here.

  About five hundred years ago, Hongcun suffered another disaster. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a natural disaster caused chaos throughout the country, and the Red Turban Rebellion broke out. Zhu Yuanzhang from the south rose up in revolt. A group of local scattered soldiers and brave warriors mistakenly entered Hongcun, and this rich Shangri-La once again faced a devastating disaster. The fully-stocked grain warehouses became the fatal fuse, and the people of Hongcun were forced to rebuild their homes once again.

  Another three hundred years passed, and the Hongcun village, which had barely regained some vitality, welcomed the White Lotus Society and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement. The war flames burned along the two provinces of Zhejiang and Anhui all the way to Hongcun. The people of Hongcun, who could no longer withstand the hardships, decided to leave this already well-known hometown, cross over the great mountains, and tread across the great rivers, until they arrived at the current Huoshan County, where there were also ten thousand great mountains like in Hongcun, with similarly harsh natural conditions, and sparse population. They took this place as their second Hongcun.

  To commemorate that disaster, every year on the 22nd of July in the lunar calendar, the people of Leiyang will return to their hometown of Hongcun. They go to worship their deceased ancestors and the former ancestral hall.

  "Do you understand now?" Feng Qiyun said as he finished speaking. At this time, Cha Wenbin couldn't help but feel a hint of reverence for the Gu Lao's ethnic group.

  "What's your request for rain?"

  The wind and clouds rose, and the body pointed to the woman Yu inside the cage: "Qiu Yu is true, worship is also true, this female ugly corpse is not a genuine product, but a fake one. Feng Qi found it and spent a lot of effort."

  The old man quickly stood up and bowed his head, saying: "I have disappointed you."

  It turned out that this Seventh Master was indeed also a person from the Lei Yu family. He originally had the surname Feng, but changed it to Feng to cover up his identity. This First Product Tea House is one of their external strongholds, and Seventh Master Feng is the actual controller behind the scenes. Those few Tiger Masters and Chen San Ye were all mixed in this line, and the Feng family secretly established a special team to search for the female ugly corpse. Such a large item would definitely reveal information if found by someone, so the Feng family set up their first First Product Tea House at the foot of Huo Mountain. Not only here, but also in Xi'an, Chengdu, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, and Jiangsu, almost every province has similar business activities. On the surface, they may be tea houses, bathhouses, or even tailor shops, but in private, they are a huge underground cultural relics trading channel.

  After thoroughly leaving Hongcun, the Feng family finally understood that this world is a place where the strong prey on the weak, and they need to establish a solid and indestructible network. They scattered across the country, constantly collecting and gathering information from all corners. They interacted with all sorts of people, and the Lei Yu people had their own wisdom in doing business. The current Lei Yu family has become the largest boss in underground cultural relic transactions.

  And their other potential opponent is: Lomen!

  "We have no conflict with Luo Men, each to their own, sometimes we also cooperate, Cha Ge and that little brother behind him, I say this, you won't think there's a problem, right?"

  This time it was Cha Wenbin's turn to feel embarrassed, his Luo Men identity was indeed dispensable, and Ye Qiu couldn't even explain himself clearly. It was as if the other person had seen through him like a transparent corpse, Cha Wenbin thought that everyone in the room wearing red robes didn't know what was inside, but others had already seen right through him. He wasn't fat, nor did he have those baseless airs about him, that's not called confidence, that's called being ignorant and fearless.

  Cha Wenbin didn't go to answer his question, stood up and said: "Since Feng brother is from Hongcun village, then I'll speak directly. That day, something was found in that big tree, I'd like to ask for your guidance on what exactly was sealed inside the tree? Were you guys worshiping that day?"

  The wind rose and Cloud looked at Feng Qīyé, chuckled and said: "That tree, let me think, which year was it planted? Probably the second year after they went down the mountain. So this matter, I'd also like to ask for your help, Brother Cha. Three hundred years ago when we left, there was an elder who refused to leave home, saying he would die defending our ancestors' temple. He was then sealed inside that tree."

  "Is he dead?"

  "No, he was already sealed in when he was still alive. Sealed Seventh Grandfather, you can tell him some of the situation."

  "That Seventh Master sighed and said: 'Have you seen Amber?' 'I have,' Cha Wenbin replied truthfully."

  "The tenth department of the Feng family, the Hou Chong Department, is most skilled in this method. Our ancestors learned one of the methods, which is to put a living person into melted wax, and the wax will take shape in a special mold. The wax has two layers, the first layer is the person, and the second layer is fresh blood. Our ancestors believed that this method could make the person in the wax achieve eternal life, hollowing out a large tree to seal the wax coffin."

  "So, I'd like to ask Brother Cha to help me retrieve the remains of the deceased. Of course, this favor won't be done for free; I'll answer three more questions you want to know in return. Think about it."

  Three questions for a corpse? This deal is worth it or not, Zha Wenbin has his own calculation, but the corpse has been taken away, he Zha Wenbin is just a common people, how can he rob or steal it?

  At night, Cha Wenbin fell into deep thought. If he wanted to retrieve the body, the only person he could turn to for help was probably...

  Hei Long, Cha Wenbin saw him buried at the bottom of the water with his own eyes. His connection with Luomen had been severed for many years. Being able to stay out of things was now his greatest enjoyment. If he had a choice, he would rather be an ordinary person.

  The next day, at Yipin Teahouse, Cha Wenbin woke up very early and was sitting by the window, staring blankly as the wind rustled through the clouds.

  "Old Feng." "So early?" "May I ask you a question first?"

  The wind rose and the cloud smiled at him, saying: "Borrowed first but must be returned oh."

  "We were a group of friends, each with our own eight characters, I lacked gold, the other four lacked wood, fire, water and earth. A wise man told me that we were all destined to encounter disasters. The young man who came with me was named Ye Qiu...” Zhang Wenbin recounted everything that had happened to the five of them to Feng Qiyun, getting to the most mysterious part, even Feng Qiyun furrowed his brow, especially when it came to the Fuxi Bagua Tower in Zhuangyuan Village.

  After Wen Bin finished speaking, Feng Qi Yun sank into deep thought for a long time. Finally, he seemed to have made an important decision and stood up, saying: "You come out with me, but your friend can't go together. Promise me that what you see and hear later, you won't tell anyone else. I'm taking a huge risk."

  Notified the shopkeeper, Pángzi and Yè Qiū waited in the teahouse. As soon as they went out, Fēng Qǐ called a taxi. It seems that this ancient surname has completely blended into modern life. The car quickly left the county town and arrived at a small mountain stream after many twists and turns. When they got here, the two got off and walked, and in front of them appeared a lake with an old fisherman by the lake. The old man saw the newcomers and hurried to welcome them as he ran over. Zhā Wénbīn and Fēng Qǐ boarded a bamboo raft, and the old man slowly rowed towards the center of the lake...
