The heavy rain rained for a pillar of incense, and as the last lightning disappeared into the clouds, the sky returned to its original tranquility and blueness, except for the dead branches and leaves in a place, and a puddle of water underground, it was impossible to see at all, the previous moment was still lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured down, and this moment it was the scorching sun, and the wind stopped and the clouds dispersed. This rain comes and goes quickly, and it's a bit evil.

When we came to the pond again, it had been raining heavily, and there was a lot of water in it. There was no way, so I had to dig for water first, such a big pond, it was not enough to rely on these few people, and Wei An was busy calling people.

The speed of water is not slow, the water is finished at more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the lunch is sent by Wei Yuanwai to eat at the scene.

When the water was gone, I called the unrelated people away, and there were still a few of us left, so I drew them a general direction, and asked a few family members to dig the grave. The tomb wall is made of lime, sand, clay and glutinous rice soup, hammered, and the strength is not lower than that of cement concrete in later generations, and it is not easy to chisel it. Thanks to a few family members who are young and strong, if I were to chisel, I don't know how many days it would take. Several family members took turns to fight, and the curtain wall was reduced little by little, and in about two hours, the curtain wall was finally chiseled. I was afraid that something would happen, so I called the family members to come up, and I went to the pond to the ancient tomb.

The curtain wall is more than a foot thick, and when I look through the hole that has been hewn, there is no water in it, because the hole is not very big, and the light inside is not very good, so I can't see the whole picture of the tomb clearly, and a rancid fishy smell rushes straight to my nose. He asked Wei An to fetch a lantern, he would definitely go down in a while, and he couldn't see clearly without a lantern.

Lighting the lantern, Wang Jinhuai and Wei An followed me to the hole of the ancient tomb, at this time the rancid smell of the tomb can no longer be smelled, the ancient tomb has been sealed for many years, it is difficult to say that there is any poisonous gas in it, I first put the lantern into the tomb, the candle in the lantern was not extinguished, indicating that there is enough oxygen inside, and picked up a fist-sized Sanhe soil residue, threw it in, and there was no movement.

"Mr. Wang, you wait for me outside, I'll go down first." After saying that, I handed the lantern to Wang Jinhuai and jumped down, except for the feeling that it was a thin layer of silt-like things under my feet, there was nothing abnormal. Receiving the lantern handed by Wang Jinhuai, I observed by the light, this is a circular tomb, about two and a half meters in diameter and about three meters high, the tomb is clean, even ordinary people have no necessary funeral goods, only in the north direction, there is a sarcophagus, the sarcophagus is tied by an iron chain, I touched the chain, except for the wet, the iron chain is tightly sealed, there is no place to see the connection, it seems that it is tied up and beaten together by the blacksmith, the sarcophagus is made of a whole piece of marble, except for the coffin lid there is no gap, even the lid of the coffin was poured with iron juice. After reading it, I saw that there was nothing else, and the answer could only be found by opening the sarcophagus.

I climbed out of the tomb, and asked Wei An to call someone to go down and burn the iron chain, because the space inside was small, and I didn't go down, only Shunzi took two family members below, and after a while, the iron chain was opened, and asked them to knock out the iron juice around the coffin.

After dealing with this, let them be below, and I jumped down, and the four of us each lifted a corner, and when it was opened, there was nothing unusual except for the rancid smell coming to my nose. We leaned the coffin lid against the wall on one side, took Wang Jinhuai's lantern, I looked into the coffin, there was no imaginary corpse in the coffin, only two black round jars, the mouth of the altar was covered with a brick-sized marble polished stone, the stone was engraved with words, I didn't move the altar, just put the lantern close to see the words on the stone. The first stone was engraved: Wang, two words, I moved the lantern to the second altar, and this stone was also engraved with two words: Zhao Ji, when I saw this name, I was surprised, Zhao Ji is Song Huizong. I asked Wang Jinhuai to come down again, and Wang Jinhuai also jumped when he saw it: "Could it be that this is Zhao Ji's ashes, impossible, the history books say that Zhao Ji was buried in: Huiji Yonggu Mausoleum, how can there be the ashes of Song Huizong here.

I remember that the history books said: Song Huizong had two queens who were indeed surnamed Wang, and the two emperors were taken captive that year, and there were 143 concubines of Huizong, as many as 504 female officials and palace maids, and I don't know which queen it was. I said, "Don't move yet, let's go out first, no one is allowed to say anything about this except you and me, these family members are illiterate, and they are not afraid of them watching, but after we go out, we will seal this place first, I have my own opinion." ”

Out of the ancient tomb, I asked Wei An to find a door panel, hastily plug the hole in the tomb, and let the person named Shunzi watch from above. I came to the front hall with Wang Jinhuai and Wei An, Wei Yuanwai was still in Miss Wei's room, and Wei An went to call.

After a while, Wei Yuan came over outside, "Dao Chief, the inside has been opened, who is buried here." I said, "It's a general of the Kingdom of Kim." ”

Of course, you can't tell him the truth, if the truth gets out, then there will be no peace in the Wei Mansion, and those descendants of Song Huizong will not break the threshold of the Wei Mansion, even if the imperial court knows about it, it will be troublesome, after all, there are bones of an emperor and empress hidden here. Besides, it is recorded in the history books that Huizong has been buried in Yonggu Mausoleum, who would believe that Huizong's tomb was found here, and it will definitely be said that we are selling our reputation and reputation, and it is better not to let him know.

"Outside, you prepare something for me tonight, I'll exorcise evil spirits for you, it's not a good thing to have an ancient tomb in the house, I'll spend my soul tonight, tomorrow you move the remains elsewhere, and there will be nothing in the future."

"Okay, if you need something, just say it."

"Ten pieces of yellow table paper, seven white coarse candles, a set of three animals, a pot of wine, an incense case, an incense burner, seven candlesticks, a bowl of cinnabar, an unused brush, and in addition to me and Wang Jinhuai, don't let any idlers pass over in the backyard."

Wei Yuanwai arranged for Wei An to prepare things, and Wang Jinhuai and I returned to the guest room.

"Dao Chief, you really know how to summon spirits, are there ghosts and gods in the world? Confucius said that the son is silent: strange, powerful, chaotic, and divine. Is it that Confucius said that there are no ghosts and gods in the world? Wang Jinhuai leaned on the bed and said.

"Confucius doesn't say, strange, force, chaos, and god. It's not that he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but Confucius's not talking about ghosts and gods makes sense. In the eighteenth volume of the Yuan Dynasty, there is a dialogue between Confucius and Zigong in the debate: Zigong asks Confucius: "Do the dead know or ignore?" "Confucius said;" I want to say that the deceased have knowledge, and I am afraid that the filial son will hinder the life of the grandson and send him to death; If you want to speak ignorantly, you are afraid that your children and grandchildren will be abandoned and not buried. If you want to know that the dead will be ignorant, and it is not too late to know that you are dead. This passage is to the effect: Zigong asked Confucius whether people are unconscious after death, and Confucius said, I want to say that people are conscious after death, and I am worried that filial piety will always think about the afterlife, which will affect filial piety in life; I would say there is no consciousness. Unfilial people use this as an excuse to refuse to bury the elderly. Yes or no, when you die, you will know. "Worship ghosts and gods and stay away". In fact, this is a kind of political wisdom that I can't understand, so I put it on hold. Just like the turtle spirit we caught yesterday, you say it's a monster or not, if you don't see it with your own eyes, will you believe it? Tonight you come with me to see if there are any ghosts. ”

Wang Jinhuai replied, "Tonight, I will go with the Taoist chief to see what ghosts and gods are. ”

In the summer, the sun refused to set, and Wang Jinhuai, who wanted to witness the conjuring, walked around the room, hoping that the sun would go down soon. It wasn't until eight o'clock that it was completely dark, and at about nine o'clock, Wang Jinhuai and I packed up the sacrifices sent by Wei An and came to the backyard.

A crescent moon hung on the tree, and the moonlight shone through the leaves on the lawn of the garden, and the backyard was very quiet at this time, except for the sound of a few insects chirping, there was no movement at all. On the south side of the pond, Wei An had already prepared the incense case and two chairs. I put the sacrifices I brought on the incense case, put candles on the seven candlesticks, put them in front of the incense case, put them in front of the seven star array, and put them in the middle of the seven-star array in front of the incense case, Zhao Ji, and one only knew the queen Wang, but the name was not known, no matter what, write the queen Wang, see if there is any effect, the rest of the yellow table paper, wrote a few runes, and cut a lot of paper money.

After everything was ready, it was still early, so I sat on the chair and waited with Wang Jinhuai for the arrival of Zishi, the best time to summon the spirit, when the yin qi was the heaviest of the day.
