Chapter 497 Touching the Golden Gate
"Just what?" Wang Changsheng said calmly.
Although he and Tang Kun have not been together for too long, they still know the personality and personality of this thing, and this guy is a typical uncomfortable type.
"Hey. Tang Kun sighed, and sat next to him, he first touched the jade plate around his neck, and his eyes gradually became hollow.
After a long while, Tang Kun suddenly said as if talking to himself: "Kiln coffin, bronze coffin, don't come near if the eight characters are not hard, erect burial pits, box tombs, move mountains and royal mountains around, naked clothes, smiling corpses, ghost laughter is better than listening to ghosts crying, brother, they all say that touching gold is the most damaging to yin morality, and even after death, you may not be able to enter reincarnation, but do you know why I still insist on doing this business?"
Wang Changsheng didn't speak, just shook his head gently, because he knew when to express his opinion, and even more so when to choose to listen.
"Huh. Tang Kun smiled bitterly and continued: "This matter is a long story, and I really didn't expect Liang Pingping to be the descendant of that person......
Ten years ago, Tangjia Village.
A dim glow of fire came through the window of a house.
Inside, an old couple with gray hair sat on the bed, and on the ground sat two men and a woman, a family of five who looked at each other with sad faces.
The family's surname is Tang, his father is an honest fisherman, and his mother usually plants a little sporadic crops in the yard, because the boat capsized in the flood the year before, and Tang finally escaped from death, but the flood destroyed the banker's house, so that there was no harvest.
There was no way, in order to survive, the family went to the county to find the most famous boss Liang's house at that time, and borrowed a small amount of usury, but who would have thought that this was just over the New Year, and the previous principal plus interest was no longer within the reach of this poor family, and now the deadline for repayment is coming, but the family still has no way.
Seeing that winter was about to begin, the only remaining winter money and food at home was also stretched, but at this difficult and difficult juncture, Boss Liang suddenly came to the house with more than a dozen subordinates, and collected all the valuable things of the old Tang family, even including the cotton clothes and quilts for the winter. Looking at the piles of broken things, Boss Liang directly took out a folded IOU from his pocket, shook it at Old Tang, and said, "This is written in black and white, do you think it's enough to pay back such a broken thing?"
Old Tang was an honest man, and said with a bitter face: "Boss Liang, just wake up, a few more days, as long as I have it, I will pay you back immediately, do you think?"
"That's not what you said when you asked me to borrow money, right?" Boss Liang frowned, but when he saw the two little girls sitting on the ground, he suddenly rolled his eyes, and said with a lewd smile: "Hehe, seeing that the New Year is coming, you just have this bit of food, if I take it, I can't bear it, hey, who called me soft-hearted, so let's let this little girl go to my house for a few years, and then you owe me a debt, do you think it's okay?"
Seeing that Lao Tang didn't speak for a long time, Boss Liang said again: "You said that you are so old, do you have to let your daughter accompany you to starve and freeze? ”
The family was silent, especially when Boss Liang walked out of the yard viciously, the Tang family looked at each other, no one said a word, and in the end, the little sister stood up from the house and whispered to her parents and eldest brother: "Dad, my daughter doesn't teach, let me go to the Liang family." ”
Old Tang sighed, turned his back helplessly, and gently wiped his eyes with his hands, while the boss didn't say a word, directly picked up his sister, put him on the bed, and then lay on the ground and kowtowed his head heavily......
Three years later.
The long-term difficult life made Tang's wife seriously ill, and the father and son had to sell all the things that could be sold at home, but even so, they still couldn't afford the high medical bills, so in desperation, Tang had to call his two sons, and said slowly to one of them: "Boss, you go get a hoe and dig up the tree in the yard." ”
"What?," The boss was stunned, thinking that this is all the same, and you still let me dig the tree? Is it planning to let our family of four gnaw the roots of the tree?
But he thought about it, and finally obediently walked into the courtyard.
It was an old locust tree with a crooked neck, growing in a corner of the yard, very thick, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to knock down the tree, but at the moment when the old tree fell, a large wooden box with a red lacquer surface was revealed from the tree pit.
"This, is this the treasure that my father hid?" The eldest didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly moved the box to the house with the second child, and before the old Tang could tell him, he couldn't wait to open it.
However, fantasy is illusory after all, and there are no gold and silver jewels in the chest, but a handful of things like shovels, arranged in them.
In addition to these, there were two bundles of cowhide rope on the side of the chest, and a few compass-like things they didn't recognize.
Looking at these messy things, the boss was stunned and said, "Dad, you, you used to be a carpenter?"
Old Tang sighed again, took out a jade plaque from the mattress, and said solemnly to the two: "Kneel." ”
"Yes. ”
"Yes. ”
The two didn't dare to say much, and both knelt in front of Old Tang.
Old Tang looked at the jade plate for a while, and finally seemed to have determined something, and said: "In fact, our Tang family has had an ancestral craft since the Warring States period, and our Tang family has relied on this craft for generations to survive. ”
"Now, your mother is seriously ill, so I have to break my vow and return to my old business, maybe this is the destiny of heaven. ”
The eldest asked, "Dad, what is our family's ancestral craft?"
Old Tang hesitated for a while, and only said two words heavily, "Touch gold." ”
What are the two of them doing to touch the gold, the brothers are facing each other on the horse, this thing, that's a bad thing that violates the king's law and damages morality, why, how can it suddenly become their family's ancestral mastery?
Lao Tang seemed to see the thoughts of these two people, and explained: "This line first appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and this vein of our family is the Golden Gate of the four major tomb robbery sects. ”
