The master was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask Xiao Laodao what he meant, but Xiao Laodao didn't explain to him, turned his face and beckoned everyone to return to the inn, and stayed for two more days, and everyone showed a puzzled face. The innkeeper was very happy to hear it, and he was very good at coming to things, so he hurriedly took everyone's burden back, and everyone was puzzled, so they had to follow Xiao Laodao and return to the inn.

In the inn room, Xiao Laodao gathered everyone together, and said to everyone mysteriously: "I want to go to the Jiang family's cemetery again, but there are too many of us, one is to attract attention, and the other is useless to go too many people, Bing Shou and I will go together, you will stay in the inn, it is best not to go out, so as not to show those flower thieves." ”

The master became more and more puzzled at this time, and asked, "Brother Xiao, what are we going to do in that cemetery?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled, "Shicai, didn't you listen to that guy, the Jiang family has two sons, one is a fool and one is blind, this is not their family's evil and retribution, but there is a problem with the ancestral grave, and the ancestral grave is nearby...... There is a well! ”

The master was stunned for a moment, "Brother Xiao, ......what do you mean?"

Xiao Laodao nodded, and said very confidently: "The well of Feng's predecessor's house should still be there, the so-called well is blind in front of the grave, the well is out of fools behind the grave, the well is in the left side of the injured long house, the well is on the right side of the absolute son, the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family is in the direction of Xunshan, the ancestral tomb is thirty steps away, and the Xun side is forty-five steps, there must be a well!" ”

The master didn't understand much, and the others didn't seem to understand, so the master said, "But when we went to see it before, we didn't find a well." ”

Xiao Laodao said with a smile: "Won't you know if you go and see it again!" ”

The others stayed at the inn, and the Taiye and Xiao Laodao rode their horses, whipped their horses, and quickly arrived at the Jiang family's cemetery. By the way, yesterday I revised the content of the previous chapter, and if you don't understand it, you can read the previous chapter again. The mobile version may be updated sluggishly, refresh it a few more times, or uninstall and reinstall the grinding iron app, you should be able to see the modification.

The two of them tied the horses from a distance, Xiao Laodao took out the compass from his body, and the two of them walked into the cemetery on foot.

This time, Xiao Laodao didn't use the compass to locate it, first took a closer look at the Jiang family's cemetery, and then said to my grandfather with a smile: "When I came over yesterday, I didn't care, but today it seems that the Jiang family's cemetery is actually 'King Wen's burial', which is rarely used." ”

The grandfather didn't understand, so he asked, "What is 'King Wen's burial'?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "It is a kind of tomb ranking pattern, your brother and I know, there are gossip burials, famous burials, top foot burials, and this King Wen burial, now people, more use famous hall burials, as for this Wen King burial, the eldest son is the mainstay, the only one is on the left, the second son is three sons and four sons are the concubines, arranged in turn on the right, this kind of burial method, after there are more graves in the ground, only the pattern of the eldest son is not chaotic, and the other people's will be more and more chaotic. However, this burial method is beneficial to us, as long as we follow the line of the eldest son and look down. ”

Xiao Laodao said at length, but the master almost didn't understand, and the master said, "Brother Xiao, just tell me where the well is." ”

Old Daoist Xiao gestured to my grandfather, "Follow me." Xiao Laodao walked up along a mound on the left, and the master followed closely, and soon, the two of them came to the end of the cemetery on the left.

Xiao Laodao raised his hand and pointed to the last grave mound, and said: "This is the fourth generation of their family's eldest son, I guess, the one buried in it is the grandfather of the fool in the morning." As he spoke, Xiao Laodao looked down at the compass in his hand and instructed my grandfather, "You start from the tombstone at this grave and walk straight forward for twenty-six and a half steps." ”

The master was puzzled and asked, "Isn't it thirty steps?" ”

Xiao Laodao replied: "Remove the three and a half steps from the tombstone to the center of the tomb. ”

The grandfather immediately did so, starting from the tombstone at the head of the grave, and walked forward twenty-six and a half steps, Xiao Laodao stood at the head of the grave and asked him from a distance, "Do you see what is under your feet?" ”

The master looked down and replied, "Nothing, just a meadow." ”

"It can't be nothing." Xiao Laodao said, also walked over, put away the compass in his hand, and looked down at the feet of the master, there was indeed a mess of grass under the feet of the master, nothing unusual. Xiao Laodao immediately looked around again and asked my grandfather, "You really didn't see anything?" ”

The master looked dazed, shook his head, and Xiao Laodao said, "Don't you see that the grass under your feet is different from other places?" ”

The master said uncertainly: "The grass here ...... It doesn't seem to be exuberant anywhere else. ”

"Not bad!" Xiao Laodao said: "Although it is late autumn now, it is not yet the time when the grass is yellow, the grass here has turned yellow, and it is shorter than other places, which means that their grass roots are not grounded, and there is something under the soil." ”

The grandfather asked, "What will it be?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled, as if he was playing tricks, "Don't ask so much now, come back at night, and you can understand by digging up this meadow." ”

The two men left the cemetery and returned to the inn. On the way back, the more the master thought about it, the more he didn't understand, so he asked Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, I still don't know something, since their ancestral grave has been four generations, why are there fools and blind people until now?" ”

Xiao Laodao didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "That's because the number of steps from the well is not enough, and the number of steps can be less or more, and it can be positive and not biased." ”

The grandfather asked again: "As you said before, there are blind people in front of the grave and fools behind the grave, but there are fools and blind people in their family, will there be a well behind the cemetery?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled, "No, the ancestral graves are mainly based on the ancestors, and they are buried from generation to generation, if there is a well behind the grave, then their family should be a fool in the second generation." ”

The master couldn't figure it out, and asked again: "Then what's the matter with that fool in their family?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "I don't know this, the fool may be the retribution of their family, it has nothing to do with the ancestral grave, if I hadn't heard that there was a blind man in their family, I wouldn't have thought that the well would be near their ancestral grave, judging from that grassland, there is a chance that it is the well......"

When the two of them returned to the inn, Xiao Laodao once again ordered everyone not to go out, but he himself took a small burden, changed into ordinary clothes, and quietly left the inn, and did not come back until the afternoon, what did he do when he went out, he didn't tell anyone.

In a blink of an eye, it came to night, Xiao Laodao gathered everyone in the guest room again, and probably talked about the situation that he and my grandfather found in the cemetery during the day, Xiao Laodao's meaning, take advantage of the night to cut up the grass, but there is no need to go to so many people, he, my grandfather, Xiao Chujiu, just three people go. However, the others were not allowed to sleep at the inn, packed their belongings, and when they returned, left the place overnight.

Everyone saw Xiao Laodao's solemn face, and no one raised any objections, and then, Xiao Chujiu brought a big burden of digging the pit, and the grandfather brought his own small baggage, and Xiao Laodao also brought his own small baggage, however, my grandfather found that Xiao Laodao's baggage was bulging, and it seemed that there was something more than usual.

A group of three people, just after the second watch, rode out of the inn, before leaving, Xiao Laodao also asked the inn guys for a lantern.

On the second watch, it is about nine o'clock to eleven o'clock now, in the late autumn season, the night is already cold, at this point in time, there are very few people on the road, and the three people quickly came to the cemetery.

The cemetery is relatively desolate here, and there is no one around, and the three of them do not delay, and after tying up the horses, they directly find the meadow that they have seen during the day.

Xiao Chujiu took off the big burden on his body, took out the guy from it, and dug it directly. However, after digging less than two feet deep, Xiao Chujiu stopped, raised his head and said to Xiao Laodao: "Master, you can't dig it, there is a hard thing underneath, like a stone." ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled, as if he had guessed it, Xiao Laodao said: "Let's dig it again, it's not a stone, it's a stone slab." ”

Xiao Chujiu agreed, dug a few more times, scraped off the floating soil in the pit, and the master squatted down, blowing the fire and taking a look, it really looked like a stone slab.

Xiao Laodao suddenly sighed: "The emperor has lived up to his painstaking efforts, and he has finally found it." ”

The master asked, "Could it be that the well is under the stone slab?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "This is the stone slab that covers the wellhead, think about it, since that senior Feng has put property in the well, can he not seal the wellhead?" Why is the grass here not as vigorous as elsewhere, just because there are stone slabs underneath, and the grass roots are not earthy. The village of the past is gone, the house is gone, and after hundreds of years, the well has been buried underneath along with the stone slabs. ”

The master suddenly realized that Xiao Laodao's experience and wisdom made him very impressed.

After a while, Xiao Chujiu followed the stone slab and shoveled out all the weeds and floating soil on it, and a three-foot square stone slab emerged from the soil.

This is an irregular semi-circular semi-square slate, which can be more than half a foot thick, the surface is craggy, uneven, and the whole looks ordinary and inconspicuous. Perhaps it was because of the inconspicuousness of the stone slabs that the well below was preserved.

The three of them worked together to pry open the stone slab, and a black hole with a diameter of less than three feet appeared on the ground, judging from the stones around the hole, it was indeed a well. However, because it was in someone's cemetery, although there was no one nearby, the grandfather didn't dare to blatantly light the torch.

Xiao Laodao lit a candle, blocked the wind with his hand, and shone into the well, due to the limited light source, he could only see a small piece of the hole, and he saw this well, the wellhead was small, the inside was large, and it seemed to have dried up, because there was no water vapor coming out, but I didn't know how deep it was.

Xiao Laodao beckoned Xiao Chujiu, took out the rope, he wanted to go down to the bottom of the well to see in person, the grandfather saw this, and wanted to go down instead of Xiao Laodao, but Xiao Laodao waved his hand, the surrounding was empty, there was no place to fix the rope, the people on it could only be dragged by hand, among the three people, Xiao Laodao was the shortest and the lightest, if he went down, it would be very easy for my grandfather and Xiao Chujiu to pull the rope on it, if it was changed to my grandfather or Xiao Chujiu, it would be difficult.

Xiao Laodao tied the rope around his waist, took out the lantern and lit it, my grandfather and Xiao Chujiu pulled the rope, stepped on the well, and led him into the well.

Many wells are small and large, and this well is no exception, the wellhead can only accommodate one person, but when it comes to the bottom, it can accommodate at least three. Moreover, in the past, the well was not very deep, only five or six meters.

Soon, Xiao Laodao was shunned to the bottom of the well, and the master and Xiao Chujiu squatted down and looked inside.

Seeing that the bottom of the well seemed to have dried up a long time ago, Xiao Laodao carried a lantern at the bottom of the well, turned around to look for it, and soon, he squatted down.

The two of them couldn't see it very clearly, it seemed that there was a stone slab at the bottom of the well, but the slate was not big, Xiao Laodao put the lantern next to it and lifted the slate with both hands.

The moment the slate was lifted, a faint light was reflected from under the slate, and Xiao Laodao suddenly laughed, because there was an urn sound in the well, and it sounded buzzing, "Found it, found it, it's really a lot!" ”

Xiao Laodao greeted my grandfather and asked my grandfather to throw the burden down, the grandfather was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, isn't he carrying a burden on his body, but the grandfather didn't think much about it, took off his burden from his body, and threw it to Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao caught the burden and put it inside.
