Chapter 615: Generations of Grave Keepers
Uncle Dumb enthusiastically made a table of dishes and served them, several of which were home-cooked dishes with local characteristics, which were really full of color, flavor and taste, and very gluttonous.
I looked at the food and was really a little hungry, so I sat down with everyone unceremoniously, and the dumb uncle helped everyone pour rice wine, and half a sweet and sour pickled black plum had already been put in the cup, and the rice wine was bubbling and drowned the black plum, and the cup suddenly stirred up a sweet and sour wine fragrance.
After a few cups, there was a comfortable warmth in the abdomen, as if the blood had warmed up, and there was an indescribable comfort in the internal organs, probably because of the soaked black plum, the wine had some sour taste, and when I drank it, I tasted a sweet smell from the throat.
Huang Xuan saw that I only drank alcohol, so he kept serving me vegetables on the side, and introduced this and that as a specialty of their hometown......
Lao Huang sipped his wine and looked at us with his eyes squinting slightly.
I had a little foundation in my stomach, and I was not in a hurry to eat, so everyone started talking.
Hei Ya toasted Lao Huang with a glass of wine and asked, "Uncle Huang, something is not right with your yard!"
"What's wrong?" asked Lao Huang with a smile.
"It's not too strange to plant willow trees in the yard, but planting cypress trees is a bit too much! Cypress trees have always been called grave trees among the people, representing the dead, you yourself are a member of the Daomen, you don't know this, right?" Heiya looked at him, waiting for him to explain.
Lao Huang said lightly, "That's all coaxing, and planting it in the yard won't attract any ghosts." ”
"Your courtyard, behind the Taoist temple, is not close to each other, and there is no grass outside, so it is said that in this kind of area of the county seat, it shouldn't be!" I asked, raising my glass.
Huang Xuan immediately poured wine for me, and hurriedly said, "The Taoist temple in front of us was handed down from the Ming Dynasty, and now it is an ancient cultural building protection unit, and it is not allowed to build houses nearby, so it is so empty." My grandfather is the abbot of the Taoist temple, and the courtyard house where our family lives now is also with this Taoist temple, which originally belonged to my wife and grandfather, so our family has been living here. ”
Hei Ya sneered, raised his glass and finished his drink, and suddenly said, "I see, this Taoist temple is not really a Taoist temple, but like a tomb......! Lao Huang, am I right?"
Lao Huang paused the hand that was originally raised to his lips, his eyes were a little shocked and hesitant at that moment, he was about to drink the wine, and said with a slight smile, "Lord Impermanence, this joke is too big, right?
"There is probably something powerful in this tomb, and your Huang family should be the tomb keeper for generations. Hei Ya smiled, "I just started to see the evil qi on Rhubarb's body, and I haven't thought about it in such detail, but I think it's very likely that it will be related to Huang Xuan's life experience...... But since I came here and looked around at the layout, I suddenly had this thought, Uncle Huang, you say...... Am I right? If I'm right, then the willows and cypresses planted in your yard are easy to say, with all due respect, rhubarb, did you have only cypress trees and no willows in your yard?"
Huang Xuan touched his head and thought about it seriously before saying, "It seems to be ...... Because when I was a child, it was as if those willow trees were still very small, as if they had grown up with me. ”
Heiya nodded and continued, "The cypress tree represents the dead, and it was only planted on the grave before, and it would be very unlucky if it was planted at home, but this is a tomb, so it is naturally easy to explain that the cypress tree is planted in the yard. Originally, there was no willow tree, but later there may have been something wrong in the tomb, and there was evil spirit, so Uncle Huang planted a willow tree, although the willow tree is yin, but the roots, branches and leaves of the willow tree are actually ghostly, the willow branch fights the ghost, hit three inches shorter, and the willow root can hold the evil spirit, so Uncle Huang planted the willow tree to suppress the evil spirit!"
Heiya's words made me gasp when I heard it, I just always felt that this courtyard house was strange, but I couldn't tell where it was strange, as soon as he came, he picked up the old bottom for others, and the head of the analysis was the way, I really pinched a little sweat for him in my heart, for fear that Grandpa Huang would be unhappy and drive us out again!
"Hah, isn't it? Our family is a generational tomb keeper? It's impossible, it's impossible, even a ghost doesn't dare to make trouble here, besides, if there is a tomb below, there will definitely be a lot of yin qi, our family's yin and yang qi are very normal, how can it be a tomb?" Huang Xuan's eyes widened and analyzed, "Not only that, Brother Ya said that there is something powerful under this tomb, it is even more unlikely!" Our family has also learned the Tao from generation to generation, how can we not know the consequences of living on the grave, rushing into the shadows, and cutting off children and grandchildren, but our family has been prosperous for generations, and my father has three sons and a daughter......"
"How many grandchildren are there besides you?" asked Hei Ya interjected.
Huang Xuan was stunned, shook his head and said, "For the time being, just me, my father is the eldest son, he is relatively old, my uncle and aunt are busy with their studies, busy with their careers, and they are not ready to give birth yet!"
"You're the only one?" Hei Ya said, "The others, it's not that they're unprepared, they don't dare to give birth, right?"
"Forehead......" Huang Xuan turned his head to look at his grandfather, "Master, what the hell is going on?" Brother Ya said...... Not really, right?"
Lao Huang smiled, "Go on!"
Hei Ya waved his hand, "Originally, this tomb has been suppressed, and nothing has happened in the past hundred years, and the tomb keeper has not been affected by the survival of generations because of his special identity, but now...... No, no, it should be said that more than twenty years ago, some changes began to take place in this tomb, and the evil spirit overflowed from below and entangled the tomb keepers......"
"Impossible, could it be that this evil spirit has eyes, so many of us live here, and we don't get entangled, but we just mess with me?" Huang Xuan's eyes widened, and his head shook like a rattle.
Heiya shook his head and said, "This ...... I don't know, about the matter of guarding the tomb, I still have to talk to Uncle Huang about it with us. ”
Lao Huang drank the wine silently, I, Huang Xuan and Heiya had three heads and six eyes, staring at him in unison, but he looked calm, I don't know if his heart at this time was because Heiya revealed the secret and his heart was fluctuating.
Huang Xuan couldn't bear it anymore, and said hurriedly, "Master, master, are you talking? Is this what Brother Ya said? Is this really the case with our family? Whose tomb is guarded? Why do you want to guard the tomb here for generations? Is the evil spirit on my body really coming from this tomb?"
