Chapter 24: The Secret of the Ancestral Hall

"Turtle Monument, what's that?" Li Ergou was puzzled.

He has never seen this kind of stele since he was a child, why did the grandfather bury the turtle stele under the ancestral hall?

Moreover, looking at the appearance of the grandfather and the third uncle, it seems that he has known about this matter for a long time.

Li Ergou felt that the dragon head monument must be related to his father's disappearance, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Brother Ergou, in feng shui, the dragon head tablet is used to suppress evil spirits most of the time, but I don't understand, why did your grandfather bury it in the feng shui eyes of Wolong Village." The fat man explained.

After saying that, he circled around the pit, and said as he walked, "Strange, really strange!" ”

Li Ergou was puzzled, when he saw the fat man suddenly stop, and then patted his head and said, "By the way, why didn't I think of this?" ”

"What's wrong, fat man?" Li Ergou said curiously.

The fat man is the descendant of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and it shouldn't be difficult for him to crack the matter of burying the turtle stele in the eye of feng shui.

However, as soon as the fat man was about to speak, he was stopped by the third uncle: "Fat man, take care of your mouth, you don't have to worry about things that shouldn't be in your hands." ”

"Surnamed Li, don't go too far, if it weren't for the fact that you are the third uncle of Ergou, I would have shot at you."

Although the fat man is very arrogant on weekdays, he also has his own arrogance, and when the third uncle said this in public, he was immediately unhappy.

"You can try!"

However, the third uncle is not a vegetarian either, he glared at the fat man and did not back down.

"Alright, you both don't have to say a few words."

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Li Ergou hurriedly stepped forward and blocked between them.

"Third uncle, what is the matter with you, can you tell me? Don't always hide it from me, I'm not a kid anymore, I have the right to know the truth. ”

Li Ergou first said to the third uncle, and then turned to the fat man and said: "Fat man, forget it, just give me a face, this is an ancestral hall, it is not suitable to do it here." ”

Hearing what he said, the third uncle and the fat man calmed down, but they both turned their heads to the side, and they didn't like each other.

Seeing this, Li Ergou quickly pulled the fat man aside and asked him to go home first, and then return to the third uncle.

"Third uncle, I know you're doing it for my good, but you can't hide everything from me, right?" Li Ergou said to the third uncle.

Recently, the third uncle has become extremely mysterious, no matter what Li Ergou asks him, he will always be prevaricated.

Speaking from the heart, Li Ergou was also a little angry.

The fat man and Li Ergou are not related, but even so, he will share something with Li Ergou, but what about the third uncle? Isn't it even as good as an outsider?

"Ergou, do you believe the third uncle?"

The third uncle didn't answer directly, but looked into Li Ergou's eyes and asked.

Li Ergou nodded.

Since his father disappeared twenty years ago, it was the third uncle who supported the family alone, and it was because of the third uncle who provided tuition and living expenses that Li Ergou was able to graduate from college.

If he wants to say that the third uncle will harm him, even if he kills Li Ergou, he won't believe it!

"Isn't this okay, the third uncle didn't mean to hide it from you, but the time has not come, some things, tell you in advance, but it will put you in danger and invite death."

When he said this, the third uncle's face suddenly became solemn, and then he continued: "When the time comes, even I won't be able to protect you." ”

After Li Ergou heard this, he was immediately stunned, he didn't know whether to believe what the third uncle said.

But Li Ergou is at least sure that the third uncle refuses to tell him the truth, which is indeed a hardship.

However, is the matter really as serious as the third uncle said?

At this moment, Li Ergou suddenly thought of the ghost-faced man, the weird second grandfather, and the ghostly ghost reader "Hell Ghost".

If what the third uncle said is true, how powerful should the person behind it be?

"Third uncle, don't say anything else, then tell me, did the sky lantern on my right shoulder be extinguished?"

Li Ergou sighed helplessly, and still asked this question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"The fat man told you?" The third uncle raised his head and asked.

"Yes."

Li Ergou nodded, and then asked: "The fat man said, my right shoulder often hurts, and I am always prone to ghosts, because the sky lantern on my right shoulder has been extinguished since I was a child, I just want to know if it's true?" ”

"Not bad!"

The third uncle didn't deny it, he hesitated for a moment, but still said: "To be precise, your sky lantern was not extinguished when you were a child, but was extinguished from the beginning. ”

"What?"

Li Ergou was taken aback.

What does it mean to be "extinguished at the beginning"? Doesn't that mean that the lantern on his right shoulder was extinguished while he was still in his mother's womb?

Li Ergou was terrified when he thought about it!

What kind of grudge is this? Do you want to nip all threats in the cradle?

But in the past 25 years, he has been living a chaotic life, his academic performance is average, and his job after graduation is average, not like the third uncle and the fat man, who are proficient in feng shui.

Li Ergou really couldn't figure out what threat he would pose to those people?

"Ergou, don't worry, your sky lantern, when the time comes, I will help you light it." The third uncle patted Li Ergou on the shoulder and comforted.

Hearing his words, Li Ergou was even more puzzled.

Since the third uncle was able to help him light the sky lantern, so after so many years, why didn't he do it?

What is the third uncle waiting for? Or is there someone who makes him jealous to this point?

Seeing that Li Ergou didn't speak, the third uncle had no choice but to say: "Okay, Ergou, I know you have a lot of questions in your heart, but you believe in the third uncle, one day, I will tell you all." ”

Li Ergou nodded, sighed helplessly, and only felt very tired.

The third uncle's words, he didn't know that he had heard it many times.

Either "the time has not come", or "someday", it seems that if he wants to find the truth, he has to rely on himself.

"Sanyuan, you want to go back with Ergou!"

Li Ergou was depressed, and his grandfather suddenly came over.

"Dad, the turtle stele has already bled out, can you solve it?" The third uncle glanced at the bleeding turtle stele and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I've been guarding him for 20 years, and I will never watch him go like this, even if I fight for this old life, I have to fight for him for a glimmer of life." Grandpa said with a puff of dry cigarette.

Li Ergou was confused, what kind of dumb riddle is grandpa playing with the third uncle?

Could it be that there are still people buried in this turtle monument?

He was wondering when he saw that the grandfather suddenly paid the workers of the construction team, and then sent those workers away.

"Let's go, Ergou, let's go home first, there are some things that you still don't know."

Then the third uncle ignored Li Ergou's resistance and pulled him out of the ancestral hall.

After all the people who should leave were gone, the grandfather took out a big lock and locked the gate of the ancestral hall courtyard from the inside.

Even if Li Ergou wanted to peek, there was nothing he could do.

After walking with the third uncle for a while, he looked back unwillingly, and then his face changed.

Above the ancestral hall, a puff of black smoke suddenly floated up.

The weirdest thing is that the black smoke is actually made up of grimaces, full of evil!
