Chapter 3: Crossing the Tang Dynasty

The sound of firecrackers resounded through the mountains, and the sky was full of dust. Adults set up chopsticks, offered wine, and made vows in front of the ancestral graves, while children hid far away.

The ancestral tomb of the Lu family is not large, on the contrary, this ancient tomb is valued by the whole clan, and the order of ancestor worship during the Qingming Festival will be ranked first every year. Under the erosion of time, only a vague stone tablet remains, and an earthen bag that has long been integrated with the mountain. It is surrounded by all kinds of wild grasses and a large number of iron wolves. If you are just passing by, you can't even find that there is a lonely grave at your feet from a thousand years ago.

But for the Lu family, the first sacrifice to this ancient tomb during Qingming every year is an ancestral precept passed down from generation to generation, and it is an iron-like rule. Even if Lu Guofu is already worth tens of billions, he doesn't dare to forget it.

"Brother Tingfang, this tomb is so dilapidated, why don't you repair it. You see, the graves of those rural people we saw before we went up the mountain were all more magnificent than our families, and they were disgraced to the dead. ”

"Silly brother, how can the grave be bigger and more magnificent. Even if there are people who compare, they are backward and superstitious people. Our family's ancestral tomb has a history of thousands of years, and it can be regarded as a cultural relic. Moreover, the ancestors passed down the rule, saying that no one can touch the ancestral grave. However, I heard from my father that my grandfather has plans to remove the ancestral grave this year, but the specific time has not yet been decided. ”

"Really? Is moving graves called tomb robbing? I watched the movie where the tomb robbers were so powerful that they could open the coffin and destroy the zombies. Brother Tingfang, did you say that there was a stiff ...... in our ancestral grave?"

"In front of the ancestors, don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Tingfang was startled and hurriedly covered the little cousin's mouth. Although he is not very old, Lu Xin's words are obviously a great disrespect to the ancestors. And his grandfather Lu Guoqiang, what he values most is rules and etiquette, and there are some things that must not be said.

"Hmm, hmm...... Plug, block, plug me...... What are you doing? ”

Bang!

Just as Lu Xin was struggling to let go of Lu Tingfang, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky. Immediately afterward, a strong wind blew from east to west, and everything was blown in an instant. Perhaps because the wind was too strong, the sky, which had been just gloomy and gray, was shrouded in a thick black cloud that drifted from nowhere. Among them lightning and thunder, like a silver snake rolling. The sky became extremely low, as if at this moment, there was no boundary between heaven and earth.

"Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it...... Guofu, it looks like it's going to rain heavily, which is not a good sign. ”

"Well, look at this battle, it's the old ancestor who is going to drive us down the mountain."

Lu Guofu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and was about to put the incense candle in his hand on the grave. But in the next second, a scream suddenly sounded in his ears, followed by a series of cries for help.

"Grandpa, grandpa, help, grandpa, help...... I ......"

Looking in the direction from which the voice came, at this moment, there was an inexplicable force pulling Lu Xin and Lu Tingfang. To be precise, this force swept the two children into the air, like a pair of invisible hands, pushing them down the mountain. All the adults were frightened, and Lu Guofu was the first to chase after him, but the mountain road was rugged and the speed was not fast.

"How can there be such a strong wind, and the power is concentrated on Xiao Xin and Ting Fang, this is absolutely unscientific!"

Lu Guoqiang seemed to remember the experience of eighteen years ago, the pair of lofty eyes, and the power to guide the country. He was a scholar and a man of letters, and his brain was too active, and he was afraid that thinking about it would become a habit. Although the weather was wet and cold, Lu Guoqiang's face was already sweating profusely.

The wind around him was very strong, and the dead branches and leaves in the sky were rolled, and his vision became extremely blurry, and it was difficult to open his eyes. Everyone desperately chased in the direction where the two children flew away, but in the blink of an eye, the kung fu man was gone.

"What about people? What about people? Secretary Yan, let me ask you where you have gone? ”

Lu Guofu threw himself in the last place before his grandson disappeared, screaming wildly, completely ignoring the face of a chairman. In front of him was a large dense field of iron wolves, some of which had grown to half a human height. Lu Guofu really panicked, Lu Xin is his only grandson, and like Lu Tingfang, he is the most precious bloodline of the Lu family. No matter how capricious and naughty these juniors are, he is reluctant to fight. If something happens right under his nose like this, he can't accept it.

No matter how successful an entrepreneur is, he is also a human being, and in front of his children and grandchildren, Lu Guofu is just an ordinary old man.

"Chairman, you, don't worry, we will definitely find someone."

"Give, give quickly...... Call the public security bureau and the fire department and tell him to send someone over immediately. Also, contact Xiao Yong and ask him to return to China immediately. ”

Lu Guofu said this, and got up to look for Lu Guoqiang. At this time, his eldest brother was standing in front of a bush in a daze, lost in his soul.

"Big brother, what are you still stunned about, Xiao Xin is lost, and Ting Fang is also lost!"

"No, it's definitely not a force of nature, absolutely not. The stars are moving, the vicissitudes of life, this power, this power ......"

Lu Guoqiang, who was stunned, suddenly bent down to push aside a bush, and there were words in his mouth. And all the people gathered around, but they found that there was a dry well in the grass. This discovery stunned everyone.

Although Dianlong Mountain is not high, the elevation of the summit is at least 100 meters. This kind of place, even if it was inhabited in ancient times, it would not be possible to draw water. Digging a well in such a place is not scientific at all, and even, it is a little weird.

"Guofu, what do you think this is?"

Lu Guoqiang seemed to have picked up something from around the wellhead, and his sluggish expression finally recovered a little. The thing in his hand, black and yellow, looked like some kind of paper that had not been burned yet, and it had just been burned, and even a little unextinguished spark could be seen.

"It should be that the paper money that has just been burned was blown here by the wind, but there will be a dry well in this place, did Xiao Xin fall into the well?"

Lu Guofu was surprised and delighted, if the two children just fell into the dry well and did not roll down the mountain, then there was a great probability of survival. But when he was about to step forward to take a look, he was stopped by Lu Guoqiang.

"It's not paper money, it's some kind of talisman with an unburned symbol texture on it. And these things didn't float from the ancestral grave, but ......"

When Lu Guoqiang said this, he pointed to the wellhead below, with a complicated expression. At this time, there was still a small amount of ash rising from the depths of the dry well, as if someone was burning something at the bottom of the well. From the outside, it was pitch black inside the dry well, not to mention people, not even the slightest sound. After a long while, the two brothers of the Lu family came back to their senses and looked at each other silently. Their faces were complicated, and they didn't know whether they were more afraid or worried.

In short, for the illustrious Lu family, this year's Qingming Festival is undoubtedly a disaster......

In 626 AD, after the Tang Dynasty experienced the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Gaozu Li Yuan sent Li Shimin to eliminate the rebel armies and separatist forces in various places, and the world was initially decided.

On the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Wude (July 2, 626 AD), Li Shimin, the king of Qin, launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, personally shot the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and at the same time eliminated Li Yuanji, the king of Qi. The following year, Gaozu abdicated and gave way to Li Shimin. Changed the concept of Zhenguan, so far, Tang Taizong unified the Central Plains.

But the world has been war-torn for a long time, mourning is everywhere, material scarcity, and people's hearts are panicked. In the initial Tang Dynasty, the total population of the territory was less than two million households. Troubled times grind people, yin and yang are confused, and demons are numerous. In such an era, from the important ministers of the court to the ordinary people, they were afraid of ghosts and gods, and they were not at peace. As a result, a kind of person wearing white clothes and embroidering Tai Chi patterns on the back began to appear among the people. These people wander in the alleys of the market, haunt the countryside and fields, cure people and exorcise demons, and have all kinds of incredibly powerful powers, and are respected by the people as Onmyoji!

Soon after, Taizong ordered the elimination of the power of ghosts and gods, and the imperial court established a secret organization outside the six ministries, named Yinyang Temple. arbitrarily adjudicate the cases of gods, demons and demons in order to appease the people, stabilize the people's hearts, and consolidate the country's foundation.

In the first year of Zhenguan, spring, Jiangnan Dongdao. In a remote fishing village under the rule of Yuezhou Mansion, Lu Xin and Lu Tingfang woke up from a coma. The sky was overcast with a light drizzle. The two of them slowly stood up with a well, and in front of them was a particularly dilapidated place, full of broken walls and ruins, as if they had just been in battle. A trellis was erected over the well, but there were not many stems and leaves to be seen.

Lu Xin looked at the muddy and damp yellow earth under his feet and frowned.

"Brother Tingfang, where are we? The road was not made of cement, and the new shoes and clothes I had just bought were all over. ”

Lu Xin angrily kicked the well twice, while Lu Tingfang on the side frowned and looked around, and was silent for a long time before speaking:

"Xiao Xin, do you remember what happened before we fell unconscious?"

"Before fainting?" Lu Xin touched the back of his head, and recalled for a while before he suddenly shouted: "I remember that I was swept away by a gust of wind, and I shouted for grandpa to save me, and later, I didn't know it......"

"I, like you, was swept into the air by the wind. With where we were at the time, there was a high probability of falling off the mountain. You can see the bad situation we are in now, it is clearly somewhere in the village. But we didn't even have the slightest injury on our bodies. And looking at the current situation, no one has saved us. ”

Lu Tingfang is old after all, and he is an extremely smart person, and he thinks of many things in an instant. Although his expression was quite calm, his voice was obviously trembling, and even the ten fingers of his hands were shaking.

"Brother Tingfang, you, don't you mean that we are dead? No, we must be dreaming! Grandpa, I'm going to find Grandpa, woo woo woo ......"

Lu Xin suddenly became scared, and because of the rain, his whole body was curled up. Lu Tingfang had no choice but to go up and hug him, just as he wanted to comfort him, but at this time, there was a smell of fireworks wafting in the air. Lu Tingfang turned around and found that there was an old man behind him, who was holding burning paper money and throwing it into the well.
