Chapter Seventy-Six: The Secret History of the Zhang Family
The ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Tianyu was actually bitten to death by Shura, this is really unbelievable, it seems that Uncle Ye has done a good job of throwing stones and asking for directions, it seems that things are getting bigger and bigger, this Rakshasa is too, if you don't come out sooner or later, you have to wait for us to come out when you come, Chengxin is looking for something to do for me and Dadezi, what to do, what to do, I thought quickly in my mind. At this time, Uncle Ye suddenly slapped the table and said, "No, I have to go to Zhang Lao to ask for an explanation, and then rushed out of the house."
Da Dezi and I saw Uncle Ye running out, and hurriedly followed, only to see that the old god's legs and feet were quite good, and he came to Zhang Guangting's room with three crutches, and after the old god stick pushed the door in, Zhang Guangting was having breakfast as soon as he saw Uncle Ye, and said: Xiao Ye! Come and eat something.
Although Uncle Ye had a big temper, he still didn't dare to attack in front of this old man, so he held back the anger in his heart and stepped forward and said to Zhang Lao: Zhang Lao, I saw you come to your house in the morning, and he said to me, I will choose a grave today, and I can't do anything here.
After hearing this, Zhang Lao's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Uncle Ye for a long time before he said: Xiao Yezi, we have known each other for a long time, and there are some things I haven't told you, in fact, what the kid in my family said is true, my family's ancestors were indeed eaten by Shura, and the tomb is just a well-dressed mound.
After all, this old man is old, and he has never seen anything in the world, as the so-called old people are old and fine, and the horse is slippery, just by Uncle Ye's words, he knows the clues, it seems that this Zhang family is not simple. Uncle Ye saw that Elder Zhang was also very frank about himself, so he smiled and said: Can you tell me what happened?
Zhang Lao sighed and instructed his careful son Zhang Zhuo to call the old and young masters of the East and West Courtyards over, there was not much time, everyone gathered here, as if there was a meeting, I saw Zhang Lao walk in front of everyone step by step and stand still, thought for a while and said: Today I called everyone together to tell you something, I wanted to bring this matter into the coffin, but there are some things that have to be known to future generations, today Xiao Yezi and Caixia are here, I let them be a witness.
Zhang Lao thought for a while and said: This is about the ancestors of my Zhang family, everyone may have heard of it, the ancestors of my Zhang family were killed by the rakshasa, this statement is not bad at all, speaking of this, Zhang Lao seems to think of dying. That is when Zhang Tianyu, the ancestor of the Zhang family, just moved to Hongtou Mountain, because there are a large number of minerals here, so Zhang Tianyu invested all the money on his body here, bought land and organized people to mine in the mountains, the business can be said to be more and more prosperous day by day, but people will have other ideas as soon as they have money, and I don't know who said to Zhang Tianyu that there are rubies on the red mountain, and the gems are all the size of cat's eyes, Zhang Tianyu didn't want to participate in this matter at that time, after all, he has a coal mine, and it is good to live a good life, but he can't resist the temptation of others, one day a hunter who came back from the mountain carried a sack and came to the door of Zhang's house, It means that he wants to sell the contents of the sack to the Zhang family, the housekeeper took a look at the contents of the sack and was shocked, and instructed his subordinates to entertain the hunter and then go into the house to report to Zhang Tianyu, to say that this sack is not filled with other objects or rubies, the big and small ones are as many as small and half sacks, you must know that these things can make a lot of money by selling them to jewelers or foreigners, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the next life.
After Zhang Tianyu came out, the hunter put the sack where to let Zhang Tianyu see, Zhang Tianyu only glanced at it and said to the housekeeper next to him: leave all these gems, that night Zhang Tianyu moved his mind to go up the mountain to dig gems, the next day in the village to post a light post to tell the collection of people, everyone saw that it was the Zhang family sent out of the notice have signed up, at that time the Zhang family in Hongtou Mountain is still a little famous, this time anxious a team of 200 people, Zhang Tianyu saw that people were in a hurry, chose Liangchen to kowtow, and then took the 200 people into the mountain, but who can want to fight, this time into the mountain has become Zhang Tianyu and his family farewell。
Under the leadership of the hunter Zhang Tianyu they soon found the location of the gem, under Zhang Tianyu's order, everyone began to dig gems, encounter a small piece of the hammer smashed, if you encounter a large piece of explosives to explode, at that time everyone was red-eyed, you must know that this gem can be regarded as a huge wealth, who wants to live a poor life, often when everyone is tired, Zhang Tianyu's words of encouragement, so that these poor people suddenly have hope.
Just the day before the accident, a group of people were inserting a detonator into the gap, banging loudly, the huge ruby was blown down, and after the smoke dissipated, Zhang Tianyu took everyone to take a look, only to see that although the ruby was blown down, but there was a bluestone slab on the stone wall, the bluestone slab was engraved with Taoist charms, everyone was stunned on the spot, one of them sat on the ground and said to Zhang Tianyu: Brother Zhang, I heard the elders say that there were demons in this red mountain, and finally the god sent down by the Jade Emperor sealed the goblin in this mountain, I think we have dug a lot, or go back as soon as possible, if you anger the mountain god, release the monsters, and we'll all have to die here.
At that time, the feudal society, superstition has not been banned, so everyone thinks that this is an ominous sign, at this time Zhang Tianyu was also frightened by the strange scene in front of him for a while and did not know how to be good, Zhang Tianyu is usually kind and charitable, behind the scenes people call him Zhang Dashanren, and this time into the mountain Zhang Tianyu did not have a shelf, and a group of poor peasants mixed together, everyone affectionately called him Brother Zhang, now Zhang Tianyu thought about it, although he didn't want to give up the wealth in front of him, but for everyone's life, he couldn't care so much, and ordered someone to carry the biggest ruby away and then go down the mountain。
To tell the truth, everyone is unwilling, what is behind this bluestone slab, some say that it is a sealed demon, and some also say that it is a treasure left by the Qing Dynasty, for a while there are different opinions, on the way down the mountain, Zhang Tianyu seems to have figured out and said to the people behind him: Since everyone is so curious, let's go home and dig up the bluestone slab to see what is inside.
For a while, everyone applauded, in fact, Zhang Tianyu thought and thought, but also wanted to satisfy their curiosity in this mountain what is hidden, when everyone went back, Zhang Tianyu asked his subordinates to prepare the altar, ready to personally sacrifice the mountain god of the red mountain, after the three sacrifices and nine ceremonies were ready, Zhang Tianyu sacrificed to the mountain god and was ready to dig up the bluestone slab, suddenly the dark clouds in the sky rolled, accompanied by lightning and thunder, it seemed that it was going to rain, the sky descended a vision, Zhang Tianyu because, whether to dig or not to dig, so people looked at Zhang Tianyu with expectant eyes, and finally Zhang Tianyu gave an order, digging!
There is not much time for someone to report that this bluestone slab has been connected with this mountain, if you want to open it, you must blow up this bluestone slab, and blow it up for me! Now Zhang Tianyu can't care about so much, there is a loud noise, the bluestone slab was blown to pieces, and then from the mountain came a vicious howl, everyone was shocked, and sure enough, a black hole was exposed behind the bluestone slab, and the hole was like a monster's big mouth, as if it was going to swallow the whole world. At this time, Zhang Tianyu ordered his subordinates to take torches and firewood knives into the cave to have a look.
Two hours have passed, and no one has come back, Zhang Tianyu secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and immediately ordered everyone to go down the mountain, at this time it was dark, everyone walked in an unknown direction, went around and around and finally went back to the mouth of the cave, then everyone realized that the ghost hit the wall, just when everyone was panicking, suddenly a gust of wind blew, dozens of pairs of pale green eyes emerged from the hole, and suddenly someone was a monster! But it was too late, and the things in the cave poured out of the nest in an instant, and in an instant the entire Hongtou Mountain became a hell on earth, and the wails of the people were endless, and even the residents under the mountain could hear it.
Early the next morning, someone came down from the mountain, but was already covered with injuries, this time there were no more than ten people who survived, among which the people of the Zhang family were left with two survivors, after the ten people returned to the village, a few frightened people were already insane, and the rest were almost all seriously injured, and so these people were cured It was already half a year, at this time the Zhang family inquired more than half a year ago to know that Zhang Tianyu took people up the mountain to dig gems, and encountered a monster that ate people, and as a result, almost all of the 200 people died in the red mountain. So the Zhang family had no choice but to build a mound for Zhang Tianyu and bury it in the back mountain, and the business of the Zhang family was also taken care of by Zhang Tianyu's two younger sons.
The survivors who went up the mountain were rescued and recalled the scene at that time, it was really miserable, after the person told the matter, the local villagers were all in danger, the Zhang family thought that this matter was Zhang Tianyu in order to dig gems to kill so many people, so the Zhang family paid to find a person who would exorcise demons in the field, I heard that it was the people of the Ye family who exorcised demons in the south.
After the master came, he looked at Hongtou Mountain and said: This mountain was originally sealed with evil ghosts and rakshasas, but the villagers were ignorant, and they actually blew up the seal of the ancestors, and those demons came out to bring disaster to the people. The master shook his head and said: This is all fate, this is the will of heaven, the will of heaven should be like this, how can it be done by man, this master said to the local villagers when he left: only if everyone does not do a lot of construction on the mountain in the future, those rakshasas will not come out to harm people, and in the future, a piece of bloody pork will be tied to the door during the New Year's festival, so that you can be safe.
After the Ye family left, the local villagers really hung bloody pork on the door during the New Year's Festival, which also ensured the safety of the residents on this side.
After listening to Zhang Lao finish telling the story of the Zhang family, I feel that this matter is not so simple, and now those rakshasas have come out to harm people again, and the purpose of our coming this time is to move the grave, although it is not a big construction, but it is also to work on the mountain, so for the safety of everyone, I am still ready to meet those rakshasas with Dadezi.
