Chapter 399: Ancestral Grave
Chapter 399 Ancestral Tomb
"Uncle Gui...... I ......, "My ability to express myself is really a fatal problem, and the more I feel like I should say something to appease someone, the more I don't know what to say."
"Yin Yin, don't say anything, don't be grateful, don't feel guilty, I think Agui must have his reason for doing this, right?" Grandma said.
"Or do you understand me, for many, many years, I have been waiting for the appearance of the young master, once you have been here, your predecessors have also been here, at that time I always had illusions, but illusions are illusions after all, and they have been shattered again and again. But I never wanted to give up, because I had promised someone to help her fulfill her wishes, or to clear her sins. Uncle Gui said.
"Who is that person?" I asked.
"You'll learn later that man is the only person I love in this life." Uncle Gui said affectionately.
"I thought that you had been working so hard for the Kui family, for morality or out of affection, but I didn't expect it to be for love. It's a pity that the one in the orphanage waited for you all your life, but in the end he waited for such a result. Grandma said.
"An orphanage? Grandma, are you talking about the mother-in-law in the orphanage? I asked.
"Yes, it's her, Agui guards this house, and she guards Agui. The bond between you is really ......," Grandma suddenly stopped and did not finish her sentence.
"Grandma, what do you want to say?" I asked.
"Nothing, I was going to say that. You have no chance in this life, and I'm afraid that such a bad fate can only be repaid in the next life, but when I think about it, you have no next life at all, but you pity her, and you have been waiting. Grandma said.
"Grandma, what are you talking about?" I asked.
"Seventy years ago." Uncle Gui opened his mouth on the side, "I picked up a child on the other side of the col, it's a girl, maybe it's because of the war. It could be because of famine. It may also be that the family is patriarchal at all and only wants a son, in short, it is an abandoned baby, an abandoned baby girl. I was lonely when I lived alone. So I picked her up and raised her. Originally, I just wanted to have someone to be a companion. It's also to find something to do for yourself, but who knows that it has become a bad fate. She grew up to be so confused. I once tried to get her away. Who knows that she didn't know where she got the ability, so she actually built a hut in the col and simply lived there. Later, she picked up a lot of abandoned babies one after another, because she had her own life experience as a lesson from the past, she cherished those children very much, slowly adopted, and finally opened an orphanage. I tried to help her, but she didn't accept it, I guess she was angry with me, and she wouldn't forgive me for a day if I didn't leave the mansion. Uncle Gui said helplessly.
"She's really a hard-working person, you shouldn't be like this, don't give her a little response." Grandma blamed.
"Response? How do you want me to respond? Tell her the secret of my longevity? Do you want her to be sad with me? I'd rather give her a false promise of a reappointment in the next life than do more to hurt her in this life. Fortunately, now that she is also old, the days are beginning to enter the countdown, let her keep this thought in this life, I will let her down after all. Uncle Gui said.
"Uncle Gui, no matter what reason you decided to guard our ancestral house before, you have been guarding it for so long, and it is worth my gratitude to you for this." I say.
"These are all small things, not worth minding, your Kui family, the Jiang family's kindness to me, and that person's attention to me, are all worthy of my life and even my soul for this. Young master, all the secrets of your Kui clan are waiting for you to uncover, and the mission of your Kui clan should also be inherited by you, you must not relax. Uncle Gui said earnestly.
"The mission? What mission? I asked.
"The Hi clan, the lower immortals in ancient times, after the gods ascended, the Hi clan was left alone to guard the immortal mound. It is said that the immortal mound is the last sacred place of the immortal family, which is related to the reincarnation of the immortals. Immortals are naturally different from us mortals, and the reincarnation of this immortal doesn't know how long it will take, so the Ji family is alone in the immortal mound, never asking about the world. Only when time encounters a great calamity, the Hi clan will appear, surpass the undead, and help others soar. But I don't know when, some people began to circulate, saying that the Ji clan is the god of death, everyone knows that Qin Shi Huang is the most afraid of death, hoping that he will not die in this life, so he began to search around, wanting to exterminate the Xi clan. Qin Shi Huang was ruthless, the Hi clan was finally found, and in the end almost all of them were wiped out, God had mercy, and the Hi clan finally retained a lineage, they were incognito, and finally pseudonyms Jiang Kui and the two surnames, living a life without quarrel in the world. But they never forgot their mission, and this perseverance continued for hundreds of years. Until the Qing Dynasty, the Jiang family of the Kui family had a major change, and almost all the people in charge of the Jiang family died overnight, and since then there are no people in this world until what is the mission of the Ji family, and no one until Qin Shi Huang slaughtered the Ji family, looking for the immortal mound, what he wanted, everything became a mystery. Uncle Gui said.
"But uncle, you just said that no one in the world knows these secrets, so how can I know?" I asked.
"Because you are the person of destiny, you don't have to shirk it, and you will naturally know what to do when the time comes." Uncle Gui said.
"Agui, shouldn't you bring our ancestors and grandchildren here just to let us see all your souvenirs?" Grandma asked.
"Of course not." Uncle Gui said, "I brought you here this time to let you see the most important place of your Kui clan, and this place may be the key to solving all the mysteries. And I have spent a lot of thought, and I have never solved these mysteries, probably because I am not a loss to my family, so I don't have this right. Uncle Gui said.
"Is this it? What's the secret here? I asked.
"Follow me." Uncle Gui walked to the wall of the innermost wall, he measured the wall a few times, and found two red bricks, these two red bricks looked unremarkable, but Uncle Gui pressed lightly, and the two bricks collapsed. A secret door silently appeared on the wall where the two bricks were. It turned out that this room, which seemed to have no features, actually had a secret room hidden behind it.
"Go this way." Uncle Gui said and took the lead and walked in, he had already taken a dark light in his hand, "This kind of dark light, the darker the place, the brighter the light emitted, it is a kind of foreign high-tech, there is no light behind this, we have to bring one." Uncle Gui said and took the lead and walked through the secret door.
Behind the secret door is a long road, all downhill all the way down, sure enough, there is no light, there are stone walls around, I don't know how it was built, that kind of dark light is really magical, the light emitted is not as dim as I saw before.
The further we went, the slower the downward slope became, and finally we started walking on a flat road, but here we didn't know why the temperature began to drop, and now we felt cold all over our bodies. Grandma didn't feel the cold, and walked in front with a high spirit, and her strength was even more than mine.
"Uncle, how far is it?" I asked.
"It's almost over, let's hold on a little longer. We're now heading into the hill behind the mansion, and where we're going, right in the middle of the hill. Uncle Gui said.
"Agui, it seems that you are familiar with the road, you often come here, right?" Grandma asked.
"That's right, I've been here a lot." Uncle Gui said.
"So, she's there too?" Grandma asked.
"My ghost puppet, she didn't come with me today, but don't worry, I won't talk and don't count, what I'm doing now is to tell you all the secrets of the Jiang family." Uncle Gui said as he walked, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, wait a while and have enough evidence, please believe me." ”
Once again, we fell silent, neither of us spoke, and each went our separate ways. The more quiet it gets, the more complicated my heart becomes, and I always begin to think about some messy things, and this kind of road reminds me of the princess's tomb, which is so thrilling and dangerous. On the other hand, such a closed place will make me feel inexplicably nervous, but there is a wind blowing in front of me, I really don't know, what is the scene ahead, is there another exit ahead? Uncle Gui said that I can see the remnants of the previous stay in this house, does it mean that I will walk out of this corridor later, and I will travel back to another time, space and place? Such cranky thoughts linger in my mind. Just when I was impetuous, my uncle and grandmother suddenly stopped.
"Young master, we have arrived." Uncle Gui slowly raised the dim light, and the place illuminated by the dim light was obviously a tomb. But the light source is limited, and we can't see anywhere else. It was an ordinary tomb, small in size, a small grave bag with a tombstone on it. But at the same time, this tomb is unusual, the tomb itself emits a faint blue light, and the tombstone inserted on it is actually a whole piece of jade, needless to say anything else, just this jade tombstone, it is already priceless. I used to envy the glory of the Li family, but now it seems that the Kui family is only afraid that they are the real local tyrants.
There was a smell of flowers in the air, and it was dark all around, and I thought to my mind that maybe I was now in a flower garden hidden underground, surrounded by flowers, and a lonely grave among the flowers.
"Agui, this is ......" Grandma stepped forward to look at the nearest tombstone, "Why is there no inscription on it?" Grandma asked, and I also found that there was no word on the tombstone of the jade.
"This is the ancestral tomb of your Kui clan." (To be continued.) )
