Chapter 103: The Fallen General
My eyes flickered and my heart was uncertain. But the Black Cloud Ghost King didn't pay any attention to me, instead stared at the broken tombstone again and studied it carefully.
After a long while, he said slowly: "Outsiders are forbidden to enter the murderous tomb, and living people are not allowed to enter. Little guy, according to the rules, you should suffer from the possession of a hundred ghosts and the collapse of your flesh and blood. When you die, I will leave you a tomb as a place to live, and from now on I will never be half a step away from the murderous grave. ”
I knew that since he said the words "according to the rules", it means that this rule can be broken. So I didn't panic in my heart, but said, "Lord Ghost King, the rules are set by people, and naturally they should be broken by people." ”
The Black Cloud Ghost King sneered: "That's right. The avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and people escape one of them. Everything in the world will have a glimmer of life, and I will give you this last glimmer of life. ”
My heart was pounding, who the hell is this guy? How could a fierce ghost, or the lord of the murderous grave, say something like Dao Fifty and Tianyan Forty-Nine?
Just kidding, if even the fierce ghosts know these truths, what do you want us exorcists to do?
This guy's identity is definitely not simple!
But he heard the Black Cloud Ghost King continue: "Among the murderous graves, everyone respects me. It's not just because I'm better than them, it's because I'm smarter than them. ”
He pointed to his head and said, "It's smart here." ”
"But although I am smart and knowledgeable, I always have a question that puzzles me, if you can help me solve it, I will let you leave the murderous grave, and do not let Mr. Cunning dare not trouble you, how about it?"
Before I could reply, I heard him say in a grim voice: "If you can't answer it, or if you refuse to answer, I'll let everyone swallow you!" Hehe, no living person has entered the murderous grave for a long time! ”
As soon as I finished saying this, the lonely souls and wild ghosts in the murderous tomb clamoured in unison, and several long ugly fellows screamed excitedly, staring at me with saliva.
Damn, the fierce ghosts in the murderous tomb have learned from the cunning king village, and they are cannibalistic at every turn! Is Lao Tzu really so easy to eat?
Although I was dissatisfied, I also knew that the Black Cloud Ghost King in front of me was a little weird, so I immediately said, "What do you want me to help you?" Let's hear about it! ”
The Black Cloud Ghost King gently stroked the tombstone, and his voice was slightly sad: "This is the place where my bones are buried. This tombstone is also mine. ”
"When a person dies as a ghost, in addition to obsession, many things will be forgotten. I forgot who I was, so I wanted to determine who I was and what I was called by the words on the tombstone. But the tombstone text has been weathered for many years, and it has long been mottled and unrecognizable. ”
"If you could read the words on the tombstone, and know my name and origin, I would remember you. When the time comes, Mr. Cunning dares to come to you for trouble, and I will swallow him! ”
It dawned on me that I had forgotten who I was.
When people die as ghosts, they do forget a lot of things. That's because the three souls and seven spirits have been impregnated in the body all year round, and some of the memories remain in the body. But it's rare to see a ghost who forgets who he is.
Even if you really forget, you will generally determine your identity and origin through the words on the tombstone. This is why there is a custom of erecting a monument and filling in an epitaph, in order to prevent this from happening.
The Black Cloud Ghost King has lived in the murderous tomb since he had a memory, and although he didn't know who he was, he used his fists to beat all the powerful ghosts around him.
But although he is powerful, he doesn't know who he is. So every night I would squat in front of the tombstone and study the inscription, hoping that one day I would understand who I really was.
But it backfired, no matter how powerful he was, the weathered tombstone could not be restored, so he could only turn to outsiders for help.
I thought about it for a while, nodded solemnly, and said, "Okay!" I promise you! But I can't guarantee that I will be able to answer it. ”
The Black Cloud Ghost King said lightly: "You must answer it, only then can you live." ”
I was furious, but immediately pressed again. Well, now the situation is stronger than people, and Lao Tzu can't beat you, so he has to bow his head and admit it.
But if you want to leave me in the grave, it's not as easy as you think.
But I said that I promised the Black Cloud Ghost King, and strode to the tombstone, I took out the flashlight from my bag, and after turning it on, the white beam of light caused a commotion among the ghosts.
I glanced back at the Black Cloud Ghost King and saw that he had no intention of stopping me. Trying to figure out your identity is much more important than the ghosts under your command being illuminated by strong light.
Once I was sure he wasn't going to trouble me, I focused on the tombstone. But after watching this, I was stunned for a moment.
The words on the tombstone have been shoveled away, where is there any weathering and erosion?
I glanced at the Black Cloud Ghost King with a strange expression, but this guy didn't even look at me, just focused on the tombstone.
I don't know if he was pretending to be stupid or had other plans, but he still studied it carefully.
The person who shoveled down the tombstone should have been in a hurry, and the guy who used it was not very easy, so although the stone had broken a lot, there were still traces of strokes.
And this man mainly eliminated his name, and did not pay much attention to the date and some other handwriting. Coupled with the restoration of the Black Cloud Ghost King for such a long time, at a glance, it can actually be seen seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
The first thing I focused on was the name of the deceased, and the three big characters in the middle, but there were only three pits that had been cut by a knife. Then I focused on the time of birth and death, and this number was actually eradicated, but the start was not very perfect, and it has been recovered by the Black Cloud Ghost King.
The date written above is that he was born in the seventeenth year of Daoguang and died in the first year of Tongzhi.
These two dates are the era names of the Qing Dynasty, and I thought about it for a long time before I switched to 1837 to 1862.
In other words, the deceased was only 25 years old at the time of his death.
This made me can't help but glance at the Black Cloud Ghost King, who died at the age of twenty-five, and was also removed from his name after his death, which is a bit intriguing.
The third thing I focus on is the epitaph, which has actually been restored for the most part. It's just that some key information is missing.
I took a closer look, and my face twitched slightly.
This man was a general in his life! Or a murderous general! No wonder it's so powerful after death, it's such a thing as a ghost!
After the general's death, the killing aura was very heavy, more powerful than ordinary ghosts.
And if the general dies unjustly, it will be a terrible mess. In the past, Guan Erye was defeated and took Maicheng, and was plotted, resulting in being captured and killed. After his death, the heroic soul did not disperse, and he possessed Lu Meng in front of the public, and killed a generation of famous generals.
Yuan Chonghuan was beheaded by Emperor Chongzhen, and the people of the capital angrily scolded Yuan Chonghuan as a traitor, so that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and the resentment of the deceased also had a lot to do with it.
Who is this general who died in the last years of the Qing Dynasty?
I have briefly translated the epitaph, which probably means that the general Rong Ma has been a lifetime, and his achievements have been in the world. was helplessly framed by a traitor, but ended up in a different place. More than 300 subordinates snatched the general's head and wanted to go south for burial, but they didn't want to be forced by the Qing soldiers, so they had to turn north and bury the general's remains here.
Through this information, I have actually analyzed a lot of things.
First of all, the deceased was a general during his lifetime, and secondly, he was a general who opposed the Qing government.
Secondly, when the man died, he was killed by a traitor and had his head cut off. Later, his subordinates were grateful for the general's kindness and ventured to raid the Qing army camp and snatch the general's head.
Again, the general should be a southerner, because the epitaph says that they originally wanted to take the general's head south for burial, but they were forced by the pursuing Qing army, so they had to go north, and finally arrived near the village of Cunwang.
I closed my eyes and thought about it for a moment, and my heart began to pound. The first year of Tongzhi was the period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is located in the south.
is only twenty-five years old, and naturally he is not one of those famous kings of the southeast and northwest wings. But the only ones who can be called brilliant and invincible are the two newly crowned kings!
King Chen Yucheng!
Loyal King Lee so-sung!
One of the two!
