Chapter 17: Bizarre Legends

I stepped on the thick snow, "creaked" after the village elder, walked into the village, and turned back.

The old man didn't say a word in front of him.

I was thinking all the way about how to explain the matter of Emperor Jianwen to this old man. Speaking of which, the villagers here are all descendants of Emperor Jianwen's guards, and Emperor Jianwen is their master, and they have taken root here, which is also for the instructions of their ancestors. If you make it clear to them, I believe they will not refuse to bury Emperor Jianwen here.

However, this matter is so bizarre, will he believe it when he says this to this old man?

Moreover, if you want to explain the identity of Emperor Jianwen, you must make my own identity clear. Will he believe it?

These things are so bizarre, if someone else told me that, maybe I wouldn't believe it, right?

No matter what, take one step at a time, and there should be a way to answer the question. If it really doesn't work, just give them more money. The people here live so hard, I don't believe they will not like money, 10,000 is not good, Lao Tzu will give 100,000, 100,000 will not work, Lao Tzu will give 1 million, I don't believe they will refuse! How much do you make a year growing crops?

If it really doesn't work, Lao Tzu will use the strong one. I believe that these villagers can't beat the Daoge Guards and Zhu'er and a few of them, so they use the people of the Daoge Guards to block them, so that Emperor Jianwen will be forcibly buried. These people are so superstitious that they believe that they will not dig up the graves of the dead, as long as there are no strange incidents in the future, there should be no problem. What we want to bury is only the body of Emperor Jianwen, not even the soul, I believe there will be no supernatural incidents, right?

I thought the village elder would take me to his house, but he stopped under a big locust tree and turned around.

I had to stop and look back, and I couldn't see the villagers anymore.

I was about to speak, but the village elder preemptively said with a solemn face: "You don't need to say it anymore, do you know, in fact, we don't allow you to bury people here, in fact, it's a good heart!" ”

I said: "I'm really just entrusted with the matter of loyalty, the person who asked me is dead, and before he died, he told me to help him do this, saying that he would bury people in the foot washing of Yuanbao Village, I can't talk to a dead person, right?" ”

The old man of the village chief was no longer at all unreasonable, but had become a kind and weathered appearance, and said to me in a serious tone: "Young man, this kind of character of yours is indeed worthy of my appreciation, and it seems that it is not okay to make it clear to you." Within the scope of this Yuanbao Village, it is the feng shui of our Yuanbao Village, and outsiders cannot be buried in this place. It's not our rule, it's a real fact. ”

"The real facts? What does that mean? "I don't understand.

The old man of the village chief said: "Some people used to say that we are a feng shui treasure here, and they want to bury the old man of his family here. As a result, the next day, the grave was split open by lightning, the coffin was pulled out, and the body was gone, and many people could not find it after searching for a long time. ”

I didn't believe it, and I thought to myself, isn't it the ghost of you people from Yuanbao Village? Most likely you dug up the graves, dug up the coffins, and hid the bodies.

The old man of the village chief looked at me, understood my thoughts, and said, "You must think that this is a good thing done by the people in our village, don't you?" I'm telling you, no, we're not that unreasonable. Later, a rich man buried his old and dead grandfather in a foot-washing room, and he was afraid that we would make ghosts, so he sent dozens of people to watch. Those people didn't dare to spend the night in the foot washing* and watched from the nearby mountain, if it was the people in our village who were ghosts, they would definitely have to settle accounts with us. ”

"What happened?" I asked hurriedly.

"How?" The village elder snorted coldly from his nostrils and said, "At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the weather was very good, there was a moon and stars, but suddenly the moon was gone, and the stars were gone. There was a thunder and lightning, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and it split the cement tomb that had been newly made during the day, and the lightning ripped out the coffin again. Then the coffin was split open again, and the body was taken away by lightning. ”

I said incredulously, "What you said is true?" ”

The village elder said with a solemn face: "What am I lying to you for?" I tell you, there are not a hundred but eighty people who have seen this with their own eyes, and I have seen it with my own eyes. At that time, many people were so scared that they peed their pants on the spot. Later, some people did not believe in evil and tried again, but the result was still the same. This was forty years ago, and no outsider dared to bury anyone here all these years. ”

It's been forty years, no wonder I didn't hear her mention it when I was chatting with the little restaurant owner Nian in the town, maybe she heard about it, but because she didn't experience it herself, it didn't ring for a while.

I groaned and said, "I heard that it is where the ancestral grave of your Yuanbao Village is located, and the people of your Yuanbao Village are buried in that place after they pass away. Didn't this happen where you people from Yuanbao Village were buried? ”

"Yes." The village elder said, "As long as it is the bloodline of our Yuanbao Village, there will definitely be nothing to do if we bury it." If there is no bloodline of our Yuanbao Village people, there will definitely be a big problem. I don't know how, but that's what it is. Whether you believe it or not, I will never allow outsiders to be buried here anymore, in case I annoy the ancestors, maybe we, the descendants of Yuanbao Village, will suffer. You say I'm stubborn or unreasonable, go back quickly, and find another place to bury the person you brought. Otherwise, you can just find a random spot on the hill next to you. ”

I smiled and said, "If that's the case, then my friend is buried here, and there will definitely be no problem." ”

The village elder said strangely, "Surely there is no problem?" Why are you so sure? ”

I smiled and said, "Because my friend, I also have the bloodline of your Yuanbao Village." ”

The village elder didn't believe it and said, "Don't lie to me, it's not good for everyone." Superstition and superstition, you can't help but not believe it, there are many things that cannot be explained. Besides, some things are better than not believable. ”

Well, it seems that this village elder has read some books, not like those ignorant villagers, will he still come up with a rather elegant word.

I smiled and said, "Do you know who this person I'm going to bury?" ”

The village elder said, "I don't know. No matter who it is, as long as he is not from Yuanbao Village, he can't do it, as long as he is not from the country. ”

I smiled and said, "He is not surnamed Guo, he is surnamed Zhu." Do you know the origin of your Yuanbao Village? ”

The village elder was stunned for a moment, and then said: "In the past, the old people in the village passed on some legends by mouth, but I don't know if it's true. ”

I smiled and said, "Tell me, what kind of legend is it?" ”

The village elder thought for a moment and said, "That's right, they said that there was an emperor in the Ming Dynasty in the past, and later someone rebelled and robbed him of the throne. Then the emperor fled with his guards and loyal ministers, and ran all the way to this place, where he stopped and took root. Those of us are the descendants of those who are loyal to the guards. Those guards and loyal ministers originally had their own surnames, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and at the same time to show loyalty to the emperor, finally the country, all changed to the surname of the country. In fact, none of these people were born to a single parent. So in the beginning, they could intermarry with each other, but then they couldn't. ”

I nodded and said, "This legend is true. ”

The village elder said, "How do you know it's true? ”

I smiled and said, "It was the one who told me Tianwen, you know, he once served as my master for a month and taught me a lot of skills." ”

The village elder suddenly realized and said, "I see. ”

I asked, "Then do you know the origin of this Xiangtian question?" ”
