Chapter 146, the ancestral house of the Chen family (16)

"What?" Old man Chen Chong was stunned by my question, stopped turning in circles, and turned his head to look at me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"General, has anyone ever been a general?" I repeated.

"Yes, there are several family heads and collateral members, you also know that there are few males in the Chen family, but there are many collateral families, and then there are just for the sake of livelihood, just by exorcising ghosts, how can you raise such a big family, don't they all have to starve to death, so we have people who are officials in the Chen family, but they are generally military attachés, and there are really a few people who have achieved the position of general." The more Old Man Chen Zhong spoke, the more proud he became.

"Headless General, is it your elder or your junior?" I'll ask again.

"Headless General?" Old Man Chen Chong's expression became solemn, tilting his head in thought.

I looked at him as if he wasn't sure, turned around and walked back to the statement, and stretched out my hand to him: "Give me that dragon-patterned jade pendant in the Demon Cave." ”

"What for?" Puzzled looked at me.

"Hurry up, it's useful." I said and bowed my head to Old Man Chen Chong.

The statement immediately understood, took the jade pendant out of his pocket, and handed it to me.

I turned around and walked back to Old Man Chen Zhong with the jade pendant, and handed the jade pendant to him: "Look, this is one." ”

The old man stretched out his head, twisted his head back and forth and looked at it for a long time, and then asked me to raise it a little higher, facing the firelight, after I did so, he made a "huh" sound, I listened, there is a door!

The statement and the skull also came over, looking at Old Man Chen Zhong in unison, for the devilish matter, we all want to know the truth.

"This jade pendant belongs to my Chen family, which one it belongs to, how do I know?" Old man Chen Chong said a word, he didn't make me and the others look at it for a long time, and then he said such a sentence, fooling us, right?

"And what do you know?" I'm out of temper.

"Each head of the Chen family will have a jade pendant as a symbol of status, and the jade pendant of each head of the family looks the same, but it is also different, as far as I know, this jade pendant should be owned by my descendants, because the name on it is not familiar to me." Old man Chen Zhong was not annoyed at all, but patiently explained it to me.

"Words, where are the words?" I listened to him, raised the jade pendant again, and looked at the firelight.

The statement and the skull also stretched out their heads, and the three of us stared at the jade pendant I held high, not to mention, there is really a word on it, it is a "de" word.

"Chen De?" I muttered to myself.

"Who?" When Old Man Chen Chong heard me say this, he suddenly shouted.

"Didn't you see that too? There is a German word on it, it should be called Chen De, right? I replied.

"How can the Chen family have such a person as Chen De." Old Man Chen Zhong rolled his eyelids.

"Didn't you say that it's your junior, you probably haven't heard of it." I glared at him, how could it have changed all this time?

"Grandpa, do you remember something?" The statement looks at the old man Chen Zhong is not quite right.

"Chen De, it's my grandfather's name." Old man Chen Zhong looked at us and said solemnly.

"What?" I exclaimed.

"That's not right." The Skull also spoke in confusion.

"Impossible, impossible." The statement shook his head as well.

"Where did this come from?" Old Man Chen Zhong pointed to the jade pendant in my hand.

"Yufeng Ridge, in the tomb of the headless general." Statement frowned.

"Yufeng Ridge? Isn't that the Duling Ridge 600 kilometers to the east? "Old man Chen Zhong is very familiar.

"yes, that's it." The statement looked at him.

"What kind of general's tomb is there? It's impossible, anyway, before I die, is it not, so is this really a descendant? "Old man Chen Chong is not sure.

"No?" I took a deep breath, and after listening to these words, I felt less and less wrong, I seemed to smell a sense of conspiracy, and it was getting heavier and heavier.

I frowned, twirling with the jade pendant between my fingers, walking around the secret room step by step, and finally sat on the desk, my hand kept turning around the jade pendant, and gradually, some of the previously insignificant clues were connected by me.

My eyes were moving faster and faster, and when I felt tired, I closed my eyes, and the last thing I wanted to see came to my mind.

It was the Chen family three hundred or four hundred years ago, the head of the family went to the battlefield in the army, and there was one person with him, the two of them suffered a lot in the barracks, after thousands of battles to kill the enemy, nine deaths, the head of the family became the leader of the army, because of his outstanding military achievements, he was named a general.

However, at this time, the adjutant who had been following him received an order from another person to ask the head of the family to hand over half a token of the ghost, in order to get this token, the adjutant ignored the years of life and death brotherhood, comradeship, and poisoned the head of the family, and when the head of the family was on the line of life and death, he was forced to ask him about the whereabouts of half of the ghost order, the head of the family did not say, the adjutant was afraid of being condemned because he did not complete the task, so he had to use the head of the head of the family as a means of atonement and cut off the head of the head of the family.

But because of years of life and death, master and servant friendship, he secretly built a mausoleum for the head of the family, and buried the headless body of the head of the family, and he was afraid that the head of the family would not be scattered to seek revenge, and when he was buried, he sealed it with a spell.

This is why there is the tomb of the headless general on the Yufeng Ridge, and there is also the ghost demon on the Yufeng Ridge, so it is stated that the ghost demon they subdued on the Yufeng Ridge is not someone else, but their own ancestors, so when he found this jade pendant in the coffin of the headless general in the cave, he was surprised, and when he found Gu worms on the corpse, he was even more angry.

Is this where the headless generals come from? Is it really what I think? So where did this adjutant servant go? Have you returned to the old mansion? So how will he explain the murder of the head of the family to everyone, and what kind of wonderful story will it be?

Besides, the old man Chen Chong said that he didn't know the headless general, but the Chen family had a few generals, so after the old man Chen Chong was killed, there were several more generals in the Chen family, could there be this headless general among them?

My family is a history fan, I like to see the costumes of all dynasties and generations, they all say that they are not as good as her dynasty, Diandian is a Qing Dynasty person, but she likes Hanfu, I have also followed her to understand the costumes of various dynasties and generations, look at the costume of the old man Chen Chong, it should be in the Tang and Song dynasties, and it is also a military attache costume, so Chen De on the jade pendant is a figure three hundred years ago, then he must be the descendant of the old man Chen Chong, the headless general is also a Qing Dynasty, but it is a hundred years earlier than Diandian, according to the time calculation, This so-called Chen De was a general during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, but weren't all the generals at that time Manchu? A Han general, and a general who died in the Northeast, is still a headless general! There is only one possibility, this general is not called Chen De, but has another name, and he belongs to the civilian forces and is named a general by the side.

I finally figured it out, the corners of my mouth raised slightly, and I slapped my hand the table to tell them, could it be that I was too hard, the desk made a "click" sound under my pat, and at the same time I jumped, it actually cracked from the middle, I thought I was in trouble again, but in the middle of the cracked table, there was a bundle of books falling out of it!
