Chapter 555: The Richest Man (I)
"Shi Shanliang? This...... Who is this? ”
Zuo Jiajun showed a confused look on his face, and he muttered the three words Shi Shanliang in his mouth, but his expression obviously told Ye Tian that he had never heard of this name.
Although Zuo Jiajun only came to Hong Kong decades ago, he came in and out of Hong Kong's super wealthy families, but Zuo Jiajun racked his brains at the moment, and he didn't expect that there was a wealthy family with the surname Shi?
You must know that the time of burial in this dragon's lair is not short, at least more than 150 years ago, that is to say, the descendants of the people in this tomb must have been rich and noble, but they are still the kind of people who are indescribably expensive.
It's just that Zuo Jiajun looked back at the modern tycoons in Hong Kong, and there was no one with the surname Shi, which made him scratch his head a little, looked at Ye Tian and said: "Little junior brother, there are really no rich people with the surname Shi in Hong Kong, could it be that this formation failed to work?" ”
Ye Tian shook his head and said, "Impossible, the Seven Star Array is the secret of our lineage, since this senior can arrange it, he will definitely wait until the formation is running before leaving." ”
When Zuo Jiajun and Ye Tian were talking, Gou Xinjia was reading the inscription on the tablet, his face changed from time to time, and after hearing the argument between the two, he said: "Don't discuss it there, come and see the words on this inscription." ”
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Ye Tian and Zuo Jiajun looked at Gou Xinjia at the same time.
Gou Xinjia shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "The person who arranged this feng shui yin house is indeed the senior in our sect, you will know it after reading it." ”
"Oh?"
Ye Tian and Zuo Jiajun were very surprised in their hearts, and they did not quarrel anymore, but carefully studied the words on the stele, and this story of more than a hundred years ago was presented in front of the two.
Originally. The owner of this sarcophagus is not a wealthy businessman. Rather, he was a stonemason at the bottom of society at the time.
When the stonemason named Shi Shanliang was twenty-eight years old, that is, in 1842, the British ruled Hong Kong, and the status of the Chinese was reduced to the bottom.
Fortunately, Shi Shanliang has the ability to carve stone tools, although his life is difficult, he can still maintain it, and occasionally he can receive a business to improve his life.
It is said that Shi Shanliang's life should have passed so ordinarily, but a very accidental thing changed his fate, no...... It should be said that it changed the fate of his descendants.
In 1855. Shi Shanliang took over the job of carving stone lions. After this business is done, it can ensure that his family of three will have food and clothing for several months.
At that time, there was no awareness of environmental protection in Hong Kong, and the fishermen relied on the sea to eat the sea, and the stonemasons naturally relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, and beckoned a few people. Shi Shanliang was ready to go up the mountain to select suitable stones.
However, when the group came to the foot of the mountain, they found an old man dying with blood stains in the grass, with seven or eight knife wounds on his body.
Although Shi Shanliang is only a stonemason at the bottom of the society, he is very kind in his heart, and when he saw the miserable appearance of the old man, he was moved with compassion at the moment, and he didn't even pick the stone, so he carried the old man back home.
Shi Shanliang's parents died young, and there was only his wife and a thirteen-year-old daughter at home. After washing the old man's body, he asked his wife to kill the only hen that laid eggs in the house.
After Shi Shanliang's meticulous care, the old man's body recovered very quickly, and he was able to go to the ground after three days, and half a year later, the stone mill in the yard. It was like nothing in his hands.
Shi Shanliang also knew at this time, and dared to save a strange person, but he was not the kind of person who wanted to repay his kindness, and he had no parents, so the old man didn't say to leave, Shi Shanliang supported him like an elder.
One day a year later, the old man suddenly called Shi Shanliang into the room and told him that the end of his wife was approaching and that he would die the next day, and there was nothing he could do. …,
Sure enough, after a day, Shi Shanliang's wife died without illness, and after finishing his wife's funeral, the old man said something to Shi Shanliang again, telling him that his life was low, and even he only had three years to live.
According to the old man's words, if he was not injured, he could still help Shi Shanliang change his life against the sky and get a few more years of life, but after he was injured, his vitality was greatly damaged, but he didn't have that ability.
Shi Shanliang is also an open-minded person, and he told the old man at that time that he didn't care what he did, but he hoped that the old man could make his descendants happy and healthy.
After thinking about it for a long time, the old man agreed to Shi Shanliang's request, but told Shi Shanliang that because he only had one daughter, this blessing was to be blessed by Shi Shanliang's daughter's descendants, and those descendants would no longer have the surname Shi.
Shi Shanliang thought about it very much, no matter what the surname of the descendant was, there was always his blood in his body, and he begged the old man very firmly to arrange it for him.
Since that day, Shi Shanliang has spent the rest of his time building his sarcophagus in addition to taking on some normal work to make a living, and it took two years to make the sarcophagus.
Three days before Shi Shanliang's deadline, the old man took him to this place, asked him to dig a pit five meters deep in the ground, and put the sarcophagus in it.
After doing all this, Shi Shanliang died suddenly overnight, as the old man said, and no one could find out the cause of death.
Because Shi Shanliang was kind and kind, and the neighbors also knew his last wish, they helped the old man and his daughter to bury him in the sarcophagus of the cemetery that had been excavated.
At the very bottom of the inscription, the old man left his name, his surname is Li, a single name is a Yuanzi, and the road name is Li Yuanzi, which is the forty-sixth generation of the Mai lineage.
In order to escape the war, Li Yuanzi came to Hong Kong from the mainland, but he didn't expect that a hostile sect would also avoid trouble.
Compared with Ding Buwang, a person in Mai's lineage, that Qimen faction is prosperous and has many disciples, and after a life-and-death battle, although Li Yuanzi killed the other party, he was also seriously injured.
At the end of the inscription, Li Yuanzi left a book saying that he used all his blood to push the performance, more than 100 years later, there will be Maimen people to see this monument, and they should find an excellent place for the sarcophagus to bury it, in order to repay Shi Shanliang's life-saving grace.
Seeing this, Ye Tian was shocked and suddenly realized that the biggest mystery in Mai's vein was inadvertently solved.
Ye Tian once heard his master Li Shanyuan say that when the Mai lineage was passed down to the forty-sixth generation, that is, in the middle of the nineteenth century, it happened to encounter the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising, and the contemporary master Li Yuanzi was nowhere to be found.
Because many of the core spells of Mai Yimai were passed down by the sect master, and the two apprentices of Li Yuanzi failed to get the core inheritance at that time, this also led to the loss of most of the Mai Yimai spells in the next hundred years.
The story on the inscription is like this, not only the identity of the owner of the sarcophagus, but also the imagination of Ye Tian and others, the person who arranged the feng shui yin cave is also a figure of the ancestor of Mai.
The story engraved on the stone tablet by Li Yuanzi made the Ye Tianshi brothers learn what happened after a hundred years, and for a while, several people actually had a feeling of time and space reversal.
After reading this record, Ye Tian and Zuo Jiajun couldn't help but look at each other, if it weren't for Li Yuanzi's use of many secret words, it would be really hard for them to believe this twisted and bizarre story.
"Alas, I don't know what happened to Patriarch Li Yuanzi in the end? Why didn't he leave the inheritance of the door back then? ”
Gou Xin's parents sighed, Qimen pays attention to acting against the sky, and its fate is a little more bleak than those people in the rivers and lakes.
is like Gou Xinjia himself, of course, if he didn't use the golden cicada's shelling strategy, I am afraid that he would have already become a bowl of loess, but even so, he has endured nearly half a century of loneliness. …,
"Maybe the inheritance in the Maoshan Taoist Temple is left by the ancestor Li Yuanzi?" After hearing Senior Brother's words, a strange thought popped up in Ye Tian's heart.
Because Li Shanyuan once said that this Mai Taoist Temple was discovered by him by accident, and its existence time is probably more than a hundred years, in terms of time, this is just the same time as the time when Li Yuanzi disappeared.
From this, it can be boldly inferred that Li Yuanzi may have lived in seclusion in Maoshan and found a Taoist temple built in such a place, but it was only when the war involved Jiangnan that he had no choice but to leave.
The more Ye Tian thought about it, the more excited he became, but the matter of his acceptance of the inheritance was too mysterious, except for what he had said to Lao Dao, no one in the world knew about it anymore, but now he couldn't discuss it with the two senior brothers.
"Huh? Second Senior Brother, you ...... What's wrong with you? ”
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ye Tian raised his head, but found that Zuo Jiajun's face was flushed, and his expression seemed to be a little more excited than his own, Ye Tian suddenly wondered, could it be that the second senior brother can also read minds, and knows what he thinks in his heart?
Zuo Jiajun looked left and right, and said mysteriously: "I...... I know who this sarcophagus is. ”
"Second Senior Brother, aren't you talking nonsense?"
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said angrily: "Not only do you know, but I and Senior Brother, as well as Xiaotian Dingding, all know it, this person's surname is Shi, and his name is Shi Shanliang." ”
"That's right, Senior Brother Zuo, is the identity of the owner of this sarcophagus very clear?"
Gou Xinjia also laughed, the inscription stated the name of the owner of the sarcophagus, and his two junior brothers also took it out to show off, making them a little confused.
"Hey, I'm ...... I'm not talking about him. ”
Zuo Jiajun was anxious, and opened his mouth to distinguish: "I'm talking about his descendants, that is, the identity of his daughter's descendants, so ...... That's the richest man in Hong Kong! ”
Speaking of this, Zuo Jiajun's voice suddenly lowered a little, and said: "Let's transport the stele home first, and don't pass on a word of the content on the stele, otherwise you will get into trouble." ”――
