Chapter 1: The family has a god of wealth
Lehi sat on the couch, dumbfounded, not trying to move.
He had just returned from his hometown, and his eighty-eight-year-old grandfather had finally left them, and Lehi's father had gone to sea and was not at home, so he, the eldest grandson of the long house, had to hold the portrait and go out of the funeral.
The Li family is a big family in the local area, and the old man Li is the patriarch, this funeral is of a very high standard, and there are a lot of troubles, Li Hai, a junior student, has not enough experience in this area, and he has been busy surviving for more than ten days, and people feel like they have been evacuated.
In fact, the tiredness of the body is still secondary, and the key is mental tiredness. The old man is gone, how will the family property be distributed? The uncles, uncles, seven aunts and eight aunts were not very noisy, but when the old man left, Li Hai was the only one who stayed by his side, everyone wanted to know what the old man had given him in private, and whether he had hidden his secrets - just to deal with this kind of problem, let Li Hai see the unfamiliar faces of his relatives, can he not be tired?
This will, at last, it is home, this is the home of him and his father, his father is a seaman, it is rare to be at home all year round, a quiet home, everywhere is his familiar taste, for Lehi, this is really a rare rest and safe haven!
It took a long time for Lehi to feel relieved. He remembered that he had faced the temptations, suspicions, and questions of his relatives, and he could not help but smile bitterly, and he really could not answer at that time, because his grandfather had indeed left him something alone when he was leaving—but no one believed that what he said was the truth!
On the coffee table in front of him was a wooden box, covered with yellow satin, and on top of it was what his grandfather left for Lehi on his deathbed. When Lehi recalled it, he still thought it was incredible, because when his grandfather handed him this box, his expression was extremely dignified, as if he had entrusted him with a thousand pounds of burden, or some priceless treasure!
But in fact, the contents of this box are unremarkable, that is, a brush, a copper coin, a small square seal, and that's it.
The brush is a very ordinary lake pen, and there is no sense of style; The handwriting on the seal is blurred, the stone is quite smooth to the touch, and the color is not surprising; The copper coin, but it is an antiquity, the words on it are the official book of the Han Dynasty, Li Hai grew up with his grandfather since he was a child, but he also recognizes it, it is the word "five baht".
Five baht, which is probably the longest issued currency in Chinese history, was issued from the Western Han Dynasty and was used until the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and after the rise of the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was replaced by new coins. Ancient coins are a thing that pays attention to the rarity of a thing, and the five-baht coin has been in circulation for more than 700 years, and I don't know how many quantities there are, so a single one is worth one hundred and eighty yuan at most.
is such an ordinary five-baht ancient coin, which is so precious and important to himself for what grandfather?
Li Hai picked up the five-baht coin, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it over and over for a long time, and couldn't see the reason, and his grandfather's last sentence swirled in his mind: "Grandson, remember, money can be spiritual!" ”
Li Hai smiled bitterly and looked at the money in his hand: "Grandpa, grandpa, what are you talking about, money can be spiritual, I know the Tao, but do you want to say that the meaning of this word is not that more money can make ghosts grind, but that this money alone can be spiritual?" Which god is it, the god of wealth or the god of plague? ”
As soon as he said this, his fingertips suddenly seemed to be overpowered, and the pain was like a pinprick in a pinprick, and he immediately reflexively threw the ancient money into the box and stayed there like this. Lehi was in a daze, not because of this sudden stinging pain in his fingertips, but because at the same time as his fingers tingled, a voice sounded in his head at the same time: "Bold! How can this god be compared with the plague Marshal Lu! ”
Lehi looked at the TV, and the TV was off; Look at the gate, it's closed; Look at the window, it's the eighteenth floor. After the last time, I picked up my mobile phone again, and called up my ringtones and SMS prompts to listen to it again, yes, they are all music ringtones, not some funny voice! Where did that voice come from? What's even weirder is that when he thinks about it, he can't even think of the direction in which the sound came from!
Auditory hallucinations? Lehi touched his ears, his eyes inadvertently fell on the five-baht coin he had just thrown down, and suddenly he had an unbelievable thought: "Something to do with this ancient coin?" ”
Lehi is not a particularly imaginative person, although he likes to read some online novels, but it is just for fun, and he never thought that he would one day travel or be hit on the head by a meteorite or something like that. But today's matter, I can't complain that he is sensitive, it is really the most embarrassing instructions left by his grandfather before his death, it is such a divine chatter, he can't help but not take it to heart, but at such a nervous time, he came to such a show. How could he not think about it a little more?
A little trembling, Lehi looked at the five-baht coin, this can't be the Yuan Shen of the big devil, right? Why don't you try to drip blood yourself? No, what if this is some kind of evil magic weapon, and a drop of blood on it will be bound, and you can't shake it off, and your heart will change dramatically from then on, and you will not recognize your cold-blooded murderous six relatives, so what should you do? I've read too many online novels, and it's not surprising that when I encounter something strange, it will unfold like this!
After thinking for a while, Lehi suddenly reacted to a question: Grandpa personally handed over these things to his own hands as the most important entrustment, would his old man have the heart to harm himself? I'm his most beloved eldest grandson, who grew up with me! The phrase "money can pass through the gods", is there really something supernatural?
With a twist of his heart, Lehi stretched out his hand into the box again, trembled, gritted his teeth, and picked up the five-baht coin again. At this time, Lehi, just like touching the electric door with his hand, was ready to be electrocuted again with his fingers, but after a few seconds of holding it up, there was no reaction at all, except for a little weight on the tips of his fingers and a smooth feel, there was nothing abnormal! The stinging pain in my fingertips just now, as well as the sudden abnormal sound, seem to be my hallucinations?
"Grandpa bless! The ancestors of the Li family bless! Lehi let out a long breath and muttered, and was about to put down the copper coin in his hand, when suddenly his whole body was as if he had been electrified, and he froze still, and the voice appeared again!
"In this way, you are the heirloom of this generation of the Li family! The qualifications are not bad, and I can communicate with this god! ”
Lehi froze completely, this is what he just heard! The sound quality and intonation, there is no difference, but the content of the speech is completely different, the key is that it sounds very organized, if this is still auditory hallucination, it is inevitable that the auditory hallucination is too real!
The first time I was shocked, the second time it was much better, at least after staying for a while, Li Haizhi Dao reacted, since this voice sounded like talking to himself, then you might as well try to answer? The unknown is always scary, so turn the unknown into the known!
I have to say that Lehi is bold in the end, which has a lot to do with the fact that he grew up with his grandfather. The old man loves to tinker with some traditional culture, take the words of thirty years ago and call it feudal dross, don't say anything about feng shui to look at the appearance, the charm is convinced, Li Hai was taken to the cemetery by his grandfather when he was eight years old to collect qi, open the yin and yang eyes, according to the old man, is to see the existence of ghosts! As for whether he saw it or not, Lehi himself didn't want to think about it, anyway, according to his grandfather, those things can't communicate with the yang world, and it doesn't matter if you don't exist at all.
It is precisely with this kind of foreshadowing that Lehi's thinking tendency is also different from ordinary people, and when he encounters such a mysterious event, his first reaction is not to be afraid and "this is not scientific!" I want to try to figure out what is going on in my own way.
"That—dare you ask Your Excellency, who is the god?" Lehi noticed that in the first two sentences, the voice claimed to be "Benshen", so it should be more reliable to call it that, right?
Sure enough, the voice replied, but it seemed a little impatient: "You junior, you are so noisy!" It is not only the inheritance of the Li family, but also the gods, and the gods of the gods, how can they not know that the gods are the gods of the Li family's ancestors! ”
The god of money in the town? Lehi frowned! He heard his grandfather say that in ancient times, man-made houses did have the custom of burying money in the town, usually on the basis of the pillars, to put coins, and then the size of the house was measured, to choose auspicious land, bury a certain amount of gold and silver, for the use of the town. At that time, he listened with relish, and later grew up and became more knowledgeable, only when this was an interpretation of the ancients' behavior of saving precious metals, the predecessors saved and the descendants of the emergency situation, which naturally enhanced the ability of the family descendants to resist risks.
But now, is there really a god of money in the town? The fear in Lehi's heart gradually receded, and his curiosity rose, so he put the five-baht coin in front of his eyes and measured it repeatedly: "What do you call the great god?" Since it is said that my Li family's ancestors have passed down the god of money in the town, why are you here? The words of the great god are really quaint! ”
The voice became more and more impatient, and sounded as if it was about to jump: "You junior, it's endless!" This god was born eight hundred years ago, but because of your Li family's generations of incense and ancestral prayers, only the people of the Li family in the past generations can be able to pass the gods, but it is a pity that there are very few people in your family who have this qualification in the past generations, and this god has been hidden under the old house of the Li family, and no one knows the way! It wasn't until 20 years ago that he was able to see the light of day again, and the previous generation of people was old and had not yet opened their minds, so although they could perceive the miracle of this god, they could not communicate with the divine thoughts of this god! ”
Twenty years ago, wasn't that the time when the old house was demolished? When Lehi thought about it, he believed it for three points, and it seemed that this inexplicable will of a god or a ghost really had something to do with his own family.
