Chapter 192: Nether Path
"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!
Seriously, Li Ergou especially wants to go back and see what grandpa is doing.
And the black smoke over the ancestral hall, how did it come from?
But the third uncle didn't want him to go back, and when he saw that Li Ergou kept turning back, he urged: "Ergou, let's go, your grandfather will come back when they are done." ”
"Third uncle, are you hiding something from me? And the turtle stele, why does it keep bleeding? Li Ergou asked.
He really had too many doubts in his heart, and Wolong Village was no longer the familiar Wolong Village, as if everyone had a secret in their hearts.
Not only the third uncle, but even the grandfather that Li Ergou has always respected.
"You don't have to know these things." The third uncle said without looking back.
After walking a few steps, he stopped and added: "There's nothing going on at home, I think you better go back to Yangcheng, go back to change companies, and work hard." ”
"I'm not going!" Li Ergou shook his head resolutely.
If it weren't for those things before, Li Ergou might still think that the third uncle would say this because he cared about his future.
But now, the third uncle is obviously a drunkard, and wants to break Li Ergou away.
Not to mention the secret of the turtle monument under the ancestral hall, as well as the strange things of the second grandfather's house, Li Ergou has not yet understood it clearly, just take the drought caused by the small drought as an example, Li Ergou can't just leave.
The third uncle saw that Li Ergou couldn't persuade him, and he didn't say anything more.
When they got home, they didn't see the fat man, Li Ergou called the fat man, only to know that the guy had gone out to observe the feng shui in Wolong Village again.
But this is also understandable, the fat man just had a conflict with the third uncle in the ancestral hall, how could he stay at home?
Isn't that self-inflicted?
After hanging up the phone, Li Ergou became bored again, he took out his mobile phone, opened the writer's backstage, and then there was a big head.
"Author, are you missing?"
"Have you seen these 5 recommendation votes in my hand, 'stabbed' and gone!"
"Author, I beg you to be a person! If it is not updated for a day, the collection becomes zero; If it is not updated for two days, it will be ordered to be two hundred and five! ”
……
In the book review area, all of them are messages urging changes.
Li Ergou then remembered that he was busy with a bunch of messy things, and it seemed that he hadn't updated it for two days.
Could it be that the average has really become two hundred and five?
Li Ergou hurriedly opened the data and took a look, and only after finding that the average order was still four digits, did he put his mind at ease, and then sent a chapter of the manuscript that he had secretly saved before.
But as soon as he finished updating, a new message popped up.
