Chapter 0709 - Life History
Hearing these three words, not only Li Long in front, but Shang Yang in the back also looked like he was looking forward when he heard these three words, living in modern society, it is rare to hear these three words, even if there is, it is not called a tomb keeper, but a mausoleum keeper, and a vulgar one is to beat the old man.
It's the old man who sits in the doorman at the gate of every cemetery.
Although there is only a difference of one word, the meaning of the meaning is very different.
The old man's face in the candlelight showed some vicissitudes, and his eyes became deep.
"Yes, we are the grave keepers!"
"My family surname is Li, is a descendant of the Tang Dynasty royal family Li, the first year of Tianyou is 904 AD, Zhu Wen captured Chang'an, hijacked Zhaozong to move the capital to Luoyang, our family is on the way from Chang'an to Luoyang to escape, also in the same year, settled here!"
Li Long was silent.
Hearing this, Shang Yang subconsciously straightened up and became engrossed, and at the same time threw away the cigarette butt in his hand.
A few decades ago, every household had a genealogy, which recorded the driving of dozens of generations, and if you push it up, you can deduce at least a few hundred years of history, but the Tang Dynasty is more than a thousand years away from now.
It's not very unusual.
After all, there are still traces of Confucius's descendants, and the age is even older in comparison.
It's just that the current distance is relatively close, and the sense of age comes from the pavement.
The old man explained: "The ancestor's surname is Li, his name is Xianyin, the word lake, Zhaozong is the twelfth son, the official position is from the second grade, the general of the town army, the ancestor in order to avoid the irretrievable fate of the Li dynasty, came here with one hundred and thirty-three family members, isolated from the world, and lived in a simple place!"
"Three years later, the Li dynasty collapsed, the world was in turmoil, and in the same year, the ancestor died due to typhoid fever, and was buried with the Zhenjun Mountain behind him.
Shang Yang listened attentively.
Carefully recalled the appearance of this place when I saw it at the top of the mountain, it was indeed a mountain, according to the words of Master Zhu, who didn't know if he was scared to death, the yin qi here was indeed very heavy, and it was not suitable for living people to live.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, the reincarnation of heaven, is the truth that no one can escape, even if it is Yingzheng, who thinks that he has surpassed the three emperors and the five emperors, after preparing thousands of troops for himself, he has not been able to resurrect, perhaps, it is the obsession of every royal family to be resurrected!"
"This history is the origin of our family, do you understand?"
Li Long nodded.
Although it was difficult to digest for a while, all the words were very superficial, and it was not difficult to understand, it was nothing more than that the ancestor was a member of the Tang Dynasty royal family, and he came here because of the war, he turned his head and looked at the dozens of "lonely souls and wild ghosts" standing in the courtyard of the place, they should be his relatives.
The old man also nodded, and continued: "After the ancestor is buried, in order to ensure the continuation of the family, one day he can re-emerge from this isolated wilderness, and re-compete for the world with the honor of the Li family, so the gold and silver treasures brought with him when he moved here will be buried with him."
Shang Yang's heart trembled slightly.
There is an impulse to go out and see this mountain, which is buried with treasures left over from the Tang Dynasty?
He didn't know how valuable the treasure was in the Tang Dynasty, but Ye Shengmei, a well-known young woman in Yongcheng, liked to collect, and took a Qingguan kiln glass vase in the previous paragraph and spent more than 10 million, so calculated, the wealth in this mountain should be astronomical!
"In order to ensure that it is not suspected by outsiders, thousands of years
Come, our ancestors have maintained a simple and thrifty life here for generations, and our Li family also guards this treasure, hoping that one day, there will be a descendant in the family to revitalize the Li family!"
"However, the simplicity of the ancestors and the remoteness of the geographical location could not stop people from hiking, and it could not hide that this is a treasure of feng shui, according to records, the first group of tomb robbers were patronized here in the Yuan Dynasty, and they inadvertently found that there is excellent feng shui here and there is a large tomb"
"This wealth is handed down by our ancestors, and naturally it cannot be stolen by tomb robbers, so our ancestors have been guarding here for generations to protect this wealth!"
Shang Yang suddenly remembered that some time ago, he saw on the news that there was also a village in front of the tomb of a famous general who fought against foreign enemies in ancient times, and the report said that they were the tomb keepers, who had been eight hundred years since their ancestors, and in comparison, this place was more rescued.
"What's the deal with tattoos?"
Li Long experienced the initial shock, and he could already ask questions, he didn't want to be calm, and he had to be calm, and the environment at this time did not have a chance for him to be irritable.
"It's the inheritance of the family, the eldest son of each generation has a five-clawed red dragon, the other descendants have four claws, and the women don't," the old man explained.
The dragon is the totem of the ancient emperors, and it is understandable that they tattoo the dragon.
Li Long nodded.
Although he didn't say much, most of the doubts in his heart were gone, where he came from, what his surname was and what his name was.
After a moment's silence, he asked, "What about my parents?"
"Gone..."
The old man sighed: "More than twenty years ago, there was smallpox in the village, and seven or eight out of ten died of smallpox, in order to ensure the inheritance of the Li family, let Master Sha Tin take you out of the village, and your parents, including your grandfather, that is, my brother, all left at that time..."
Li Long slowly lowered his head.
There is a noticeable change in mood.
In fact, for so many years, he has also wondered why his parents abandoned him on the side of the road, and what did they think?
The explanation now can be explained.
I was forced to transfer, not discarded.
The old man raised his hand and patted his shoulder, looked ahead and sighed: "Our Li clan has nearly 2,000 people in its heyday, but a smallpox almost took away our entire family, it's fate..."
The dozens of people standing in the open space also bowed their heads, as if in silence.
Before you know it, there is an air of sadness throughout the building.
At this time.
"Isn't that right... If it was smallpox, why did you let a monk take him out? And when you first saw us, you said you shouldn't come back!"
A voice came from the rear.
It's Shang Yang's.
What he had just listened to was really fascinating, as if he was listening to a story, but this story made him feel a little strange, and he always felt that something was wrong.
It is said that dressing up like this is to scare tourists here, or people with ulterior motives, which is understandable.
It is said that they do not go out of the village in order to protect the wealth here, and there are no flaws.
But, what does it mean that you shouldn't come back?
Why didn't they have the joy of seeing Li Long? This old man gave him the feeling that he had always tried his best to restrain his emotions.
"Bang la la"
Hearing the voice, these people all turned around, and suddenly they were startled when they saw their faces again.
"Because at the time
, Master Sha Tin happened to be passing by here, with Master Sha Tin's ability at that time, he could only take one person out" The old man explained slowly, still very bland: "He really shouldn't come back, because knowing these things will not do any good, it can only increase the psychological pressure..."
Li Long looked between the two.
He didn't feel anything wrong.
However, he is a fan of the authorities, and Shang Yang is a bystander.
continued: "This is only a few dozen miles away from the mountain, for people who live in the mountains all year round, an hour is enough to reach the outside of the mountain, I briefly learned about this village before coming, and the earliest record I have found so far is the Ming Dynasty, that is, you can be here in the name of residents, hiding the identity of guarding the tomb in the mountain."
"That means you can come and go here freely."
"More than 20 years ago, although China's medical care was not as developed as it is now, smallpox was no longer an incurable disease, how could you watch your people leave one by one instead of asking for help from an hour's walk away from the mountains?
Shang Yang finished speaking.
I can clearly see that the micro-expressions on these people's faces have changed.
Li Long also suddenly realized that he was just blocked by the sudden message, and he didn't think much about it, but now that he thinks about it, there are indeed too many loopholes.
"The smallpox came very suddenly and violently, we did go outside the village for help, and the doctor has already arrived, according to the doctor, it is viral and there is no way to treat it..."
The old man replied fluently.
Shang Yang shook his head slowly: "No, you are wrong again, there was no road more than 20 years ago, and the road at the entrance of the village was not a Yabai Road, it should be a dirt road, especially in the county town outside, there was no regular hospital at that time, only a clinic, first of all, you can't go out for an hour, if you really ask for help, you will definitely not be able to get there in an hour, even if you run, it will take more than two hours, and human life is involved, this is absolutely impossible to remember!"
Shang Yang They came by car from the side of the county road, and it still takes dozens of minutes to drive, let alone walk?
"Secondly, the doctor in the clinic can come, but the viral disease needs professional medical equipment to detect it, and the first thing the doctor does when he comes must be to give you medicine, and you didn't say this!"
"Huh"
Shang Yang's voice fell.
Li Longdeng, who was sitting next to the old man, stood up and stared at the old man cautiously.
In an instant, the atmosphere inside the building became extremely oppressive again.
Shang Yang saw that these people looked at him, and they all became unkind, and he was not afraid in his heart: "You don't need to scare me, the most deceitful words are half true and half false, I believe that you are all members of the Li family, and you are also the tomb keeper in this mountain, and you are also Li Long's relatives."
"However, you must have something to hide, that is, why Li Long was taken away when he was a baby, and why his relatives are gone..."
Shang Yang is really not too afraid, and the tattoos have proven to be a family.
It's just that now it's just two words.
Heard Shang Yang finish speaking.
The old man's body trembled obviously, and his eyes looking at Shang Yang became particularly sharp, eager to shoot out two rays of light and pierce Shang Yang's heart with ten thousand arrows.
"You... Is it really my loved one?"
Li Long stared at him and asked word by word.
The old man met his gaze, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, the spirit of his body suddenly unloaded, shook his head with a wry smile, and looked at Shang Yang at the front: "You kid... It's not easy!"
