Chapter 5: There Are No Spirits

That winter night, the old man told the slag about the family's livelihood, and invited the eighth child, who had not seen him for many years, to witness his change of arrangement, and planned to open the mechanism under the kang and divide the remaining three heirs equally.

After listening to his grandfather's story, Slag felt that his whole body was boiling, and the strong muscles he had cultivated since he was a child were suddenly full and expanded.

"This cause and effect is already over with me, so don't be delusional, these are enough for you to have a good life and livelihood, don't think about it anymore."

The two uncles also nodded at the same time, looking at the slag with an expected feeling, and of course, a warning meaning. The eighth continued to sit beside the old man, smiling, although he is a backward person, but he understands the old man's mind best, he can feel that the big owner who has not seen him for many years has been very satisfied in the past few years, although the younger son died in an accident, but after all, he went to his own wish, and really had a grandson, and the incense had a succession. And the remaining two sons are filial and trustworthy, and do not have any idea of returning to the old business, if the old man keeps his mouth shut and does not talk about the things that remain, maybe this family is really the same as ordinary people, and he will start over again.

But after all, the old man is the beloved son of the elders, watching that the two sons have no heirs to support the elderly, the grandchildren are not yet adults, and the granddaughters are studying in the county seat. So simply divide those who remain with them equally, and let them establish a connection with Lao Ba in case of emergency.

Just after the old man made his meaning clear, the eighth also nodded with satisfaction, but what made the slag unbelievable was that the two uncles actually looked at each other, knelt in front of the old man in unison, and the uncle said firmly.

"Father, my second brother and I don't want to keep anything, we leave it to the slag, we really don't want to see those things again, we have experienced the feeling of wealth in this life, but with you, I have lived peacefully and peacefully, I have been troubled because I have no heirs before, but now I have figured it out a long time ago, there is no luxury, I only hope that I will not be contaminated with this matter again, and I will die safely."

The second uncle looked back at the slag.

"Boy, you have to be responsible for our pension, if you neglect it, we won't close our eyes!"

Slag sat there stupidly, the eighth man next to him pushed him, he quickly knelt down, kowtowed to his grandfather and the two uncles in gratitude, at this time, the two uncles stood up, pushed the door and left without looking back.

The eighth also stood up and arched his hand at the old man.

"The owner, I haven't seen you for many years, today I am very gratified, you are still tough and strong, seeing this ending, I am happy for you in my heart, this is also a good fate and good results." I already know the future arrangements, and I will not bother with the rest of the time, leaving it to you and the slag. Boy, if you need anything in the future, just come to me! Farewell, owner! ”

The old man nodded, and motioned for the slag to pour himself wine.

"Sit down, aren't you particularly surprised that you didn't tell you about your family until today? Since you were a child, you thought that your grandfather was an old pedant, and you didn't want to be a tomb robber, aren't you disappointed? ”

"No, I'm just surprised, but excited, grandpa, is this business particularly dangerous? Why are they so resolute, uncle? ”

"Hahahaha, melon eggs, the so-called danger, nothing more than incomprehensible, things in the world, many look strange, in fact, they are all tricks, I have robbed tombs for so many years, I have seen strange things, but in the end I can't escape these routines, people's hearts are the most unpredictable, in fact, they are the most weak, born in heaven and earth, even if the princes and generals can't control themselves, life is still like this, can you live for a long time after death?"

"Tomb robbery all the way, the most disrespectful ghosts and gods, don't look at what magic weapons and secret spells passed down by our ancestors, in fact, they are all seeking peace of mind, in my opinion, self-deception is just self-deception, since they have dug people's ancestral graves, why bother to say what to take half and leave half, and what is the yin wind to raise the master's anger, this person is dead, which dead man have you seen resurrected? Which way have you seen the gods appear to bless you? From the anti-Japanese war to the civil war, how many people were displaced and died in the war, the two sides of the war are nothing more than people, which is not a devil in the world, even if it is forced to say reincarnation, then, where are the gods? In this way, they are allowed to plague the world, so this is all a head on the head. At the beginning, my father also saw that I was so disrespectful to ghosts and gods, did not believe in cause and effect, and lost the bottom line of tomb robbing, so he forced me to swear to stop in your generation. ”

"However, that grandfather, you always say that karma makes our family have few heirs, look at the two uncles are indeed like this, there is no future in their lives."

"Silly boy, that's a good question, I've been thinking about it on the way south, the so-called cause and effect is also a force of nature, and it has nothing to do with ghosts and gods, so I categorically cut off this business later. Think about it, I took your two uncles to rob the tombs for a long time, these tombs are less than a hundred years, long a thousand years, how much gloom has been accumulated in them, some tombs are cold and damp, and have long become animal tombs, all kinds of strange germs and poisonous insects grow in them, and some tomb owners use poisons to prevent thieves, these injuries to the human body are accumulated over time, accumulated in your uncle, that is, affect fertility, just like a northerner suddenly went to the hot spots in the south, the water and soil are not adapted, and the guest dies in a foreign land, what do you say is the reason? ”

Therefore, the so-called karma is all in the present, all in oneself, not around the ghosts and gods, the ancients said not to do evil things, in addition to natural and man-made factors will harm us, there is also the human heart. After I opened the coffin for the first time, I couldn't sleep for a few days and nights, and the owner of the tomb always came to me to ask for my life in my dreams, worshipping Buddha and burning paper, haha, this is actually my own heart. Because our human heart is not independent, it is influenced by its surroundings from birth, and if we do not know ghosts and gods from birth, we are destined to sleep peacefully. ”

"Melon Danzi, I'm telling you this, it's nothing more than telling you my perception in this life, we are not a sage family, it's nothing more than a third-rate livelihood, but it doesn't prevent us from understanding, so as long as you pay attention, there are opportunities everywhere. I categorically decided to stop, just because I saw through the cause and effect, I hope you can do things that make you feel at ease in the future, and don't use your body to win those riches, it's not worth it, if you reflect everywhere, there will naturally be no deviation, only good causes and good results. ”

Slag listened stunned, he had the impression that this might be the time that Grandpa talked to himself the most, and Grandpa's straightforward point to the ghosts and gods and cause and effect was not at all like what he said to Lao Ba and Uncle, Slag frowned, and seemed to be very uncomfortable.

"Hehe, do you think grandpa is too scheming? It doesn't matter, you slowly realize that different people have different ways to deal with it, and it is not the work of a wise man, as long as the heart is kind, it is the Buddha who transforms people, otherwise he will become a devil who plays with people's hearts. ”

Slag said that at that moment he felt that his grandfather was much taller again, not afraid of heaven and earth is not afraid of not being used to describe his old man, that is a reckless man, the old man is calm after seeing through, attributing all the mysteries to the power of nature and people's hearts, abandoning those ghosts and gods that cannot be seen or touched, and standing between heaven and earth, standing up to the sky and the earth, being their own master, and achieving their own hearts!

"Grandpa, if one day I also embark on the road of tomb robbing, will you blame me?"

The old man slapped the slag on the head with a backhand, smiled and picked up a glass of wine and drank it all.

"I know that the children and grandchildren of our family can't escape this business in their bones, and they think it's magical and exciting, melon eggs, since I decided to tell you about the family today, I also expected this, but I can't teach you anything, and I can't take you to rob the tomb again. Of course, if one day, you insist on doing it, it is your own creation, I am old, and it is impossible to arrange exhaustion for my children and grandchildren, I have already told you the cause and effect, and the rest is for you to comprehend by yourself. ”

Talking and talking, when the time has passed, the slag pestered the grandfather to listen to the story of the past, although the grandfather smiled and told him a lot of thrilling things, but always inseparable from the main line, that is, everything is a force of nature, there are traces to follow, there are rules to explore, there is no ethereal ghost and god thing, of course, slag can feel a trace of disappointment in grandpa's eyes.

The two of them chatted while drinking like this, and when it came to the excitement, the slag clenched his fists, and when it came to life and death, the old man also had ruddy eyes.

"Grandpa, is there really a fairy treasure in the tomb?"

"Hehe, there are too many legends, they all say that there are treasures in the tomb of any person, and they are spread like gods, saying that they can come back to life, and they can go through the sky completely, I have no chance, I have never seen such magical things, and I don't believe in it, if there is such a treasure, the emperor heard that he has already dug it, and used these treasures to protect his own emperor picture forever, just say that the glass in the Tang tomb, in ancient times, it was priceless, in fact, it was glass, what is so strange?"

"In the past, it was rumored that there was a sword in the tomb of Goujian, the king of Yue, who was made with his own blood mixed with dark iron, and then watered it with the blood of a living person for seven seven forty-nine days, and finally became a bloodthirsty sword.

"It has been passed down for thousands of years, and then it is more and more mysterious, how many people have died for this, but after the liberation, the country excavated the tomb of Goujian, which is an ordinary sword, but the casting technology has become a mystery, and the news has also reported. I laughed coldly, thinking about the people who died for this legend, is it worth it? ”

Slag shook his head in disappointment, but heard the old man speak faintly.

"I have never seen the treasure of the gods, but the power of nature is so great, and when it is used by others, it can even more shocking ghosts and gods, and I have indeed experienced this kind of adventure. It's midnight now, let's get down to business first, and you come with me. ”
