Volume 2: Nine Turns of the Underworld Chapter 2: The Secret of the Yang Family

I thought about it for a while, after all, curiosity overcame worry, and after figuring it out, I came back and was scolded, after all, it was my own family, and I thought that my dad wouldn't do anything to me.

As soon as he gritted his teeth and lifted the knife, he chopped off the copper lock, pushed open the small wooden door, and found a sore tooth "squeak" sound.

At this time, the mobile phone "ding", scared me, it turned out that the power was insufficient, only 10% of the power was left, and the warning was issued before that it was less than 20 out of 100, and the smartphone was not good at this, and the battery was not durable.

I hurried to walk in, the lighting was limited, it was a small dark room of more than ten square meters, there was a table in the middle, and things were neatly stacked on it.

The pages are yellowed, but they are still very well preserved, I have a copy in my hand, the cover reads "Feng Shui Cardinal Collection", look at the traces are handwritten, the words are square and beautiful, not thick, about twenty or thirty pages, with some illustrations.

I didn't have time to read it carefully, so I picked up another copy of "Deposit Decision", which was similar to the previous one, and flipped through a few more copies, basically all of which were related to the cemetery, and I thought Miss Mo Feiluo's purpose was these things? If I give these things to her, won't she come to me again? To tell the truth, although the tomb robbery is profitable, I really don't want to touch it, it's too dangerous, and I accidentally took my life into it, to put it mildly, my dad is my son, I'm going to really hang inside, and the two elders don't even have a person to send to the end. When I fell into the abyss for the first time, I was really scared, people have responsibilities and obligations when they live, and exploring and searching for treasures is not the meaning of my life.

I didn't have the heart to go through the other books, but when I saw that the desk had two drawers and no locks, I pulled open the one on the left, and there were a few pens and candles and a box of matches in it. I pushed it up and pulled open another one, and the drawer was cluttered with a few drawings.

I took out one, on which was drawn a gossip figure, marked with four squares in the middle, and scribbled on the top of the "Three Dragons Protector Cave Map", I felt a little familiar, isn't this the floor plan of the ancient tomb? If you look closely, it is that there are eight ear chambers marked in eight directions, each ear chamber is marked with gossip wells, which says "Death Well", and the eight tomb roads connected to the tomb are written "Soul Leaving the Path", and a few question marks are written in the blank space in several gossip diagrams, and the four tombs in the middle are called human burial, soldier burial, animal burial and power burial. Looking at the corresponding position, I entered the ear chamber from the human burial. Brother Hemp said that they entered the tomb and put armor weapons in the sarcophagus, it seems that it was a military burial, and then we dug it up and entered, and it was Uncle Ercai who was lying down, so would it be a beast burial or a right burial? This drawing is marked in detail, and even the arrangement of the tomb after the change is recorded, it seems that the person who recorded it must have been there, could it be my grandfather?

I hurriedly turned out a few other drawings, corresponding to the Chongling Ancient Tomb, the drawings of the corpse pool, the drawings of the Yin Pine Forest, and the drawings of the tomb, and they were all marked in detail.

The last one is the abyss drawing.,It's just that this one is not fully drawn.,There are three questions marked in the middle.,There are also the words "danger" written.,It seems that grandpa didn't enter below.,Or after entering, I saw the irresistible danger.,I didn't know it clearly.。

I shook my mind, the phone ran out of power and turned off, this is really going to die, it's so dark here that you can't see a trace of light at all, there is no other lighting tool on your body except for your mobile phone, I knew that it would be good to let Brother Marijuana leave his lighter.

I remember that there were candles and matches in the drawer on the left, and I guessed that the matches would not work for so many years, but I still felt them out and tried them, and sure enough, just like I guessed, everything was moldy and broke when I touched it.

According to the time calculation, Brother Hemp should be back soon, and if he doesn't see me, people will definitely call me, so I'll wait for him here, so I don't have to climb up and down, and now it's dark outside, so it's the same everywhere.

The tables and chairs here are quite sturdy, and I don't care how dusty it is, I just sit on the chair and take the opportunity to make up some possibilities.

From the current point of view, my grandfather must know about this, which means that he also knows what my grandfather does. My dad and three brothers will not know that this dark room is not sure, but someone must know, mainly I don't know who renovated the house where the longevity bed was put back then, and it has been renovated for some years. I don't have the impression that when I was a child, I had to herd cattle a lot of times, and then I didn't come to this old house much after going to junior high school boarding school.

The rusty copper lock on the small wooden door shows that my grandfather knows about the existence of this dark room, and it is estimated that they have not been here for many years, or they know this place very well, and there is no need to come often; Either that, or they are bound by some kind of constraint and dare not come.

No matter how you speculate, Miss Luo came for these books, which means that the things recorded in these books are very valuable to the tomb robbing industry, and grandpa may also know the value of these books because they deliberately conceal them, but since they don't want to get involved in this business, why do they keep them? Wouldn't it be okay to sell it to them directly? If you don't want these books to come into existence, why keep them? This doesn't make sense logically, it's like if you have a martial arts cheat, and you don't practice it or pass it on, so if you hide it year after year, then it won't play its due value. I'm so depressed that I ran to dig coal to make a living, and I don't want to take it out to help my generation of poor /B? It's a bit of a fucked up.

Just as I was thinking about something, I suddenly heard a slight movement outside. I didn't close the door when I came in, the passage was narrow, and it was in a sealed dark room, so the sound transmission was very good.

I thought it was Brother Marijuana coming back, and I just wanted to open my mouth to call him down, but suddenly I felt that something was wrong, Brother Marijuana's naked character had already opened his voice and called me, but listening to the movement, the person outside was obviously slight, which was suspicious.

I hid behind the door with my hatchet, as if I could feel someone lying on the edge of the hole I had pried open, and after a while I heard a slight movement, apparently the man had entered.

My heart is beating faster, could it be that the villagers seem to be coming over and curious to come and take a look? But it's not like sneaking in like this, this movement is too small, normal people don't have such a light pace at all, if it weren't for the special environment here, I don't think I would have noticed it.

It doesn't matter who it is, wait a minute, should I give him a hard time? Or do you want to restrain him first?

Just when I was hesitating, I suddenly felt something come in, and I subconsciously slapped it with a hatchet.

This shadow was extremely flexible, and I don't know how it sensed it in the dark, and when I shrank it dodged the firewood knife, and when I tried to strike again, I only felt a pain in my chest, and I was hit in the chest by it, and fell backwards uncontrollably.

I scolded angrily, the murderous intent has risen, at first I still slapped it with a knife, but now it is directly changed to chopping, but as soon as I raised my hand, I felt that my throat was pinched by a hand, and I used a lot of force, and I couldn't breathe all of a sudden.

My heart is cold, this skill will definitely not be a villager, who is I worried about? When did I become so fragrant?

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps in the passage, and it was not a person, and the man also stopped his hand, but still put his hand on my neck, and my firewood knife was also taken away by him.

"Let's click", a flashlight shot directly into my face, I subconsciously closed my eyes, only to hear a cold and familiar voice say, "Keep fighting." ”

But the man behind me didn't move, and his hand didn't shake easily, and the hand on my neck was a little harder, and I could feel his nervousness.

The man who came in from behind turned the flashlight, and pointed it at himself, and although it swept away, my heart was so shocked that my voice almost jumped out of my voice.

I saw Applejack being held to her throat with a dagger, Applejack smiled helplessly, she simply gave up resisting, and the person who stopped Applejack turned out to be my grandfather.

What the hell, my grandfather has been paralyzed for almost four years, has he been cured recently? But no, I sat with him for half an hour today, could it be that he wasn't paralyzed at all, pretending?

Grandpa looked at me coldly, as if he didn't know me at all, and said coldly, "Keep fighting!" ”

With that, the dagger cuts through the epidermis of Applejack's throat. The man behind me threw the firewood knife away with his backhand and kicked me in the back knee, I couldn't help but kneel down on one knee, followed by a beating, I couldn't help but scold angrily: "Grandpa, I'm Xiaoyuan!" ”

However, my grandfather just stared at me coldly, without replying, as if he didn't know me.

I chuckled in my heart, could it be that this person is not my grandfather? Just looks like him? But this life is too ridiculous, some time ago I just met a dead person who is very similar to me, and now I have met a living person who is very similar to my grandfather, what happened to my family's portrait?

At the same time as I was beaten, I found out that the person who beat me turned out to be Miss Luo, I couldn't help but secretly curse myself for being an idiot, since Miss Luo had deliberately set me up before, how could she let me go so easily? I didn't even have the eyes to pay attention to it, and I let him follow him to his hometown.

I definitely can't beat Miss Luo, so I just coaxed it, shrunk my body into a ball, and protected my head with both hands, so that she could fight well, and it was not the first time I was beaten by her.

I don't know how long I fought, but I suddenly heard a shout outside: "Yuanwa!" ”

Is Brother Marijuana back, is this damned bastard a tortoise? Take a guy and slow down for a long time, the enemy will the nest, and if you slow down, Lao Tzu will die young.

"Marijuana, come and save me, the old guy is going to kill his relatives in righteousness!" I roared, Miss Luo was interrupted by marijuana, stopped, and looked at my grandfather, who finally stopped talking and continued to fight.

Maybe it was because I heard my call for help, Brother Hemp ran upstairs with a bang, maybe it was a quick run, just stepped on the hanging tower and fell down, only to hear him scold his mother, and came again, and after a while, I heard him lying in the hole and shouting me, I called down.

Grandpa put Applejack away, walked to the table alone, skillfully picked up the candle from the drawer and lit it, just when Brother Marijuana touched it in, he was also startled when he saw my grandfather, and hurriedly asked, "Scholar, why are you here?" You're not ......"

Grandpa looked at Marijuana, his face was cold and he didn't speak, Brother Marijuana shut up, pulled me up from the ground, and squeezed his eyebrows to hint at me What's the matter?

I also held back the fire in my belly, I was beaten for no reason, I was in pain, and I didn't know how to open my mouth when I was in doubt.

The atmosphere in the dark room is weird, Miss Ajero is obviously in a group, I am with Brother Marijuana, grandpa doesn't know which side to stand on, how can my grandfather ask an outsider to beat his grandson?

Grandpa knocked on the table for a while, obviously thinking about things, Miss Luo stood quietly at the door, next to Applejack, vigilantly staring at Grandpa's every move, this state I felt more nervous than in the ancient tomb when she faced the forbidden woman.

"Why?" Grandpa asked thoughtlessly, I don't even know who he was asking. I just wanted to ask, what, why? But my grandfather glared at me and swallowed the words back into my stomach.

"Things have changed." Miss Luo said.

"Got something?" Grandpa asked again.

Miss Luo nodded.

"Is it Zhang Yuan?"

Miss Luo nodded again.

"What's wrong with the others?"

Miss Luo shook her head and nodded.

I'm baffled by this conversation, isn't this a dumb riddle? It's all come to this, and you're still hiding it from me?

"My father is right, fate can't escape!" As if making a decision, Grandpa was silent for a while and said, "I'll accompany you on a trip, don't come to Zhang Yuan again in the future, he doesn't understand." ”

Miss Luo thought for a while and said, "Okay! ”

Grandpa said, "You all go out, Zhang Yuan stays." ”

Brother Hemp hesitated and whispered to me, "Don't talk to the scholar, quickly admit your mistake, I'll wait for you outside." ”

When they all went out, I couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, what the hell are you talking about?" ”

"Rebel, kneel!" Grandpa stood up and shouted at me.

To be honest, I haven't been very close to my grandfather since I was a child, and I don't have much respect for him, just now he asked Miss Luo to beat me hard, and I was angry, so I stubbornly looked at my grandfather on the spot, and shouted: "Don't kneel!" ”

Grandpa may be very angry, raised his hand and wanted to hit me, but I still didn't bow my head, half a sound, grandpa slowly put down his raised hand, and sat on the chair, as if he was old all of a sudden.

I couldn't bear it, but the words came out, so I could only stand up.

"Xiaoyuan has grown up after all, alas!" Grandpa sighed and said, "How much do you know?" 1510 told grandpa. ”

Seeing my grandfather's expression, I told him the truth about the Chongling Ancient Tomb, grandpa closed his eyes and didn't interrupt, his expression was not shocked, when I said that there was a hanging coffin in the abyss, and there was a middle-aged man who looked very similar to me lying inside, grandpa's cheek touched a little, and when he talked about finding a fiery red bead in the hanging coffin, and only I could take it, grandpa's face trembled again, but after all, he didn't open his mouth to interrupt me.

After I finished talking about the Chongling Ancient Tomb and telling me all the possibilities I had been thinking about these days, my grandfather finally spoke.

"It's really the same as you imagined, our family is carrying a secret, this secret is too heavy, I thought that when I died, this secret would be completely removed, but I didn't expect you to be involved. I hid it from your father and three brothers, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

"Now that you have touched the Flame Bead, it is difficult to escape your fate, while I am still alive, there are some things I can tell you, so that you will not be caught off guard one day."

"In fact, tomb robbery is nothing, to say that the reality is to make a fortune from the dead, this line has been done since ancient times, our ancestors did this business, and it is famous."

"During the puppet Qi regime of the Southern Song Dynasty, tomb robbery came to the peak for some reason, and countless ancient tombs were excavated, and our Yang family made a name for itself in those years and was unanimously recognized in the industry. But it was also from that time that Yang Jin, the head of the family at that time, had no intention of discovering a secret about immortality, and the endless years of nature condensed five extreme five element species, which are now the so-called Qian, Xun, Shen, Li, and Gen five beads, these five kinds of beads can only be touched by a few people, and it is said that any kind of bead can give the bead holder a special ability, Yue Wumu has obtained the dry gold bead, and it is rumored that he has suffered misfortune because of this. ”

The head of the Yang Jin family didn't dare to let this secret be exposed, after all, the people were incapable of guarding this kind of secret, so he ordered his family to keep the secret and began to slowly retreat. But this kind of secret is a fatal temptation for anyone, and Yang Jin did not give up, but secretly explored the whereabouts of the Five Elements Bead. But Yang Jin also knew that it would be difficult to complete in his lifetime, and once this secret was spread, the destruction of the Yang family was not far away. ”

"In the exploration, Yang Jin did not find the whereabouts of any kind of Five Elements Beads, but accidentally got a pill in the tomb of a monk in the Tang Dynasty, after taking it, the blood can ward off yin evil, and this bloodline is passed on, but the person who inherits it must be a man born at noon during the Dragon Boat Festival, it is a coincidence, Xiaoyuan You have this kind of bloodline, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse."

"It's a pity that the paper can't contain the fire after all, after Luo Jin died, someone still revealed this secret, and sure enough, it can bring bad luck to our Yang family, fortunately, Yang Jin thought of this step and made a plan in advance, several branches of the Yang family were secretly withdrawn, in that era of war and chaos, trying to find the Quanyang family is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, which is also the main reason why our Yang family is not extinct."

Since then, the Yang family has kept a secret, and only people of the Zhiyang bloodline let him enter the industry to find the whereabouts of the Five Elements Beads, and slowly it has become that only people of the Zhiyang bloodline enter the tomb robbery. So is your grandfather, and so are you. ”

"For hundreds of years, although the Yang family has entered the industry intermittently, there is still a faint figure of the Yang family in this industry, you may wonder, why are there so many people in the Yang family who were born at the Dragon Boat Festival? This is really abnormal, although I can't prove it, but I have a guess that many people who enter the industry in the Yang family are not born at noon during the normal Dragon Boat Festival, we don't want to guess this kind of cruel thing, but you really gave birth naturally at that time, maybe this is the fate in the underworld, as your grandfather said, fate can't be avoided. ”

"When it came to your grandfather's generation, it was also an era of incomparable war, the land of China almost fell, your grandfather was also young and enthusiastic, and he was also a little famous in this industry, led a group of people to take refuge in an officer, helped him dig graves, and all the things obtained were used to supplement the army, but unfortunately after all his efforts, he found that he followed the wrong person, and just repelled the foreign enemy and started infighting. But your grandfather also knows that it is not so easy to completely break it, one is that I remember things when I am young but not sensible, and the other is that there are too many people staring at the Yang family, so he made preparations, that is me. ”

"He secretly taught me all the skills of this trade, but he strictly forbade me to go down to the ground, and if one day I was forced to go out of the mountain, as long as someone came with the seal of the heavenly official, I must do things for him unconditionally. By the way, the Tianguan Seal is the thing that my Yang family has inherited from generation to generation, and it was handed over to the Luo family before your grandfather went into hiding, if one day you can't get rid of your fate, you can go and ask for it back. ”

"Some things you guessed right, and some things you guessed wrong. As early as a few years ago, I noticed that someone had found this area, and I also pretended to be paralyzed, and went out less to try not to make people suspect our house, but I was still suspected. It's true to lure your second uncle to Chongling, but their purpose is not you, but me. Your second uncle fell into the ancient tomb, so I had to go out of the mountain to save him, you are a big surprise. In fact, your father and three brothers don't know these things at home, they only know that your grandfather is in Hutou Village, only your second uncle accidentally heard a few words, how could I have thought that you Shunteng touched it to such a point. ”

"On the day you were born, I had a hunch that our Yang family might not be too peaceful, maybe it was because of the bloodline, I found you too sensitive when you were a child, so I had to avoid you. Xiaoyuan, it's not that grandpa doesn't like you, it's that grandpa has to do it. This time I went with them, hoping to completely end the fate of the Yang family, if grandpa is incompetent, you ...... Hey, forget it, it's all fate! ”

Grandpa's words blindfolded me, I didn't expect the water in my house to be so deep, if I hadn't been so curious, wouldn't these things have happened?

And why does Miss Luo's family care about me so much? No, it should be in the Yang family. If it is just a simple tomb robbery to make a fortune, her family is fully capable of self-sufficiency, and I am afraid it is also for the secret of immortality. I didn't expect Miss Luo to be this kind of person, and sure enough, she responded to that sentence, if you have enough chips, anyone will change!

I suddenly felt a sense of disgust for Miss Luo, cruel, cunning, and unscrupulous, I could tolerate it, but I couldn't stand this kind of self-righteous coercion of others.

When I walked out of the dark room with my grandfather, it was completely dark, and Miss Luo and the three of us were waiting outside, and when they saw us coming down, they stared at us vigilantly, probably because they were very jealous of my grandfather.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised, and I hope you will keep your promises back then." Grandpa looked at her and said.

Miss Luo breathed a sigh of relief and led the way to the village.

I walked behind, out of the opposite room, I could see the whole village opposite, there were few lights on, I couldn't say comfortable and depressed under the dark night, maybe after listening to my grandfather's words, I felt that my world view was changing.

In order to survive, dozens of generations have been hiding in Tibet, and even their surnames have been abandoned, but there are still people who will not let you go. Maybe the murderous heart can fight Miss Luo Ajie, but what about after that? Keep hiding? Repeat it every few years or decades?

You can't avoid the troubled times, let alone the prosperous era of the technological era.

Hehe, there are a few lights in the head house, there is no light in the tail house, and there are a few lights in the Tianshui house, and when they are connected and the pond in the middle, isn't it like the seven-star Beidou?
