Is this a tomb? A chill immediately rose in my heart. But when I looked left and right, I saw that there were only wooden beds and wooden tables, and there were no coffins.

But seeing that Sheng Shiyao raised his head enough to start, and couldn't reach the top, he looked at both sides, took the previous box to step on, stood up, stretched out his hand towards me, and said, "Give me the shadow moon." I hurriedly handed it to him.

Soon, he used the shadow moon to scrape away some black soil, revealing the stone material inside, and he was very shocked, it turned out that there was also a stone wall on it, but a layer of black soil was pasted on the surface. That is to say, this is actually a stone room, and now I have some faith in Sheng Shiyao's words. He scraped some black dirt, and when he saw that there was no engraving on it, he gave up and jumped off the box.

When I asked him how he could have found out that there was something else behind the brick wall, he pointed to the corner above his head and said, "Don't you think it's strange?" This is more than ten meters underground, why is there still air in it, there are obviously vents, just in those four corners. When the light passes through, you can see that the cut inside is not mud or red brick. ”

The flashlight converged there, and sure enough. Moving my gaze to the stone wall again, I asked with a sigh, "Who do you say is this person who carved on the wall?" How could he have Huang Xingyuan's secret technique? ”

Sheng Shiyao narrowed his eyes and said: "He is a tomb robber, the way we came down is the robbery hole he dug, if you guess correctly, he may be the owner of the skeleton buried by your grandmother." ”

"How?" I exclaimed.

"That's right, this can explain why your grandmother only collects bones, she accidentally found that tree hole, entered here, saw a skeleton that has been dead for an unknown number of years, and found the secret technique of Huang Xingyuan carved on the stone wall. Later, for some reason, she also had to hide for a while, and she couldn't live here, and she was with the bones all day long, so she moved the idea of burying the bones, but when she took it, she accidentally broke up the skeleton, and could only use a box in this stone chamber to take it out for burial. ”

"But......" I asked, still puzzled, "how can you be sure that this is a tomb?" There are no coffins or coffins in there. ”

Sheng Shiyao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Because this is an empty tomb, it should be strictly speaking, an unfinished product." The reason is that this place seems to have good feng shui, the mound can be made into a mountain, next to the water, the wood is beautiful in the forest, it is a treasure place to collect blessings and wealth. But I didn't think that the water was not a small river, but a long river that was introduced into the river, and the excessive humidity caused the stone chamber to return to the tide. ”

"And so it was put on hold?"

"It's not like it, since it's made, it will be very bad luck if you don't put some burial goods, so there must be some objects left in it, as a town for the house. This He Yunlai must have looked away at the beginning, thinking that there was a big tomb underneath, and a lot of property must be hidden, so he tried every means to dig a thief hole into it, but it turned out to be a hole. ”

So this stone chamber became his residence? After wandering outside for many years, mingling with the crowd, I heard a lot of strange things, and naturally there were also things about tomb robbers, and it is said that these people are all experts, and they have studied the mystical arts of feng shui, including historical monuments. If you don't follow this path, you can be an archaeologist.

It seems that my grandmother used red bricks to build it, firstly to prevent moisture, and secondly, to deliberately cover the handwriting on the wall, the purpose of which is unknown. If you are afraid of being known, then the best way is to use tools to scratch the stone wall, rather than carrying bricks from the four walls to cover up, presumably in order to avoid people's eyes, these bricks also took a long time to carry by my grandmother.

The mystery of He Yunlai is solved, but why Grandma is hiding here has become a mystery. I found a strange thing, but whenever I want to track down something, I will get more and more confused every time, because it is like peeling an onion, peeling one layer after another, and sometimes peeling it to the middle, it may not be possible to get a glimpse of more secrets.

After rummaging through the stone room again, he found nothing, Sheng Shiyao guessed that the original burial goods might have been transferred out by He Yunlai and exchanged for daily necessities, and in the end, there was only an empty box left. There may be other things, but since I have changed hands with my grandmother, it is impossible to leave any traces. He also said that this person must have lived here for a long time, because these inscriptions on the wall are deep and shallow, and they are not carved in one go, since he is a tomb robber, then the way he obtained some of Huang Xingyuan's secret techniques is most likely through his old profession.

In other words, Huang Xingyuan himself or his descendants died five hundred years ago, and when he was buried, he may have brought the true book of the secret art into the ground, and then was stolen by this tomb robber, but why didn't he have a book? And the record on the wall is only a part, is he not finished, or is there so much in total?

The reason why I don't suspect that my grandmother hid the rare book is because the contents of the manuscript were completely copied from the inscription on the wall, and there are not many words or too many words, which is enough to prove that my grandmother did not find the rare book.

Based on this problem, Sheng Shiyao made a hypothesis, saying that when He Yunlai stole the tomb where Huang Xingyuan's secret technique was hidden, it was likely that something dangerous or other special things had happened, so that he couldn't take the secret book, but he remembered Superman and remembered it after reading it once. So he used the way of lettering, little by little to recall the content, which part he thought of, he carved it first, so that the three walls engraved with secret handwriting, it is obvious that the pen power at the beginning is very different from the back.

His way of remembering is called the information association method. Therefore, it was not engraved for the sake of passing on to future generations, as for the life of his life written on the fourth wall, the handwriting is floating on the surface, and it is obvious that the pen is not as strong as the original, so it can be inferred that he wrote it before his death. Perhaps when he finally died, he regarded this stone chamber as his own tomb, and the people of that era built tombs for the deceased would carve the life deeds of the tomb owner like this. But since tomb robbing is not a glorious thing, he will definitely not be engraved on the wall openly, only vaguely mentioned.

After Sheng Shiyao finished analyzing, his brows furrowed and fell into deep thought. When I saw that his face was serious, I did not bother him, but went and rummaged through the clothes in the box, and saw if I found anything else. When I put the clothes out neatly, I found a booklet at the bottom of the box, and I was about to take it out, when I suddenly heard Sheng Shiyao calling me: "Xiaoxiao, do you remember what Zhou Jing, Chen Bing and Wong Tai Sin have in common?" ”

I'm being asked inexplicably, what do they have in common? "Aren't they the descendants of Huang Xingyuan's lineage, and then they all learned secret arts?"

He shook his head and told me to think again. Although I felt puzzled, I still thought about it seriously, and a sudden lightning flashed into my mind, and I suddenly understood what he meant, and exclaimed: "Totem and longevity!" ”

Seeing Sheng Shiyao's face and nodding calmly.

From beginning to end, I ignored a very important issue because I was my grandmother, people who have practiced Huang Xingyuan's secret art will have a black-winged bat totem on their bodies, and their appearance is younger than normal age. After discovering the secret in this stone room, my grandmother must have practiced according to it, otherwise she would not have been able to use the mystical technique of Yang Shou and Yin Suppression. At a certain level, a bat totem will appear on her body, that is to say, the embroidery on the privately collected brocade is not from Chen Bing's body at all, but from herself.

When she practiced the secret art and found that the pattern was looming, she must have been very frightened, so she embroidered it on the brocade hand, and must have tried to hold the brocade and ask some people to find a solution. It was also at this time that she inadvertently discovered that Chen Bing also had the same totem on his body, and with Chen Bing's attainments at that time, the totem should only reach the arm, so it was easy to be exposed. Looking for an opportunity to get close to Chen Bing, he learned the origin of this secret art from him, and secretly wrote down the content of the summoning technique, filling in the last few pages of the manuscript.

This is the totem aspect, and the other aspect of longevity, I don't dare to think deeply. Now my grandmother looks like she is in her seventies, and Zhou Jing also looks like she is about seventy years old, but in fact she is over 100 years old, so isn't it possible that grandma's real age is more than 100 years old? That...... Could I still be her granddaughter?

No, Zhang Liuye said that her grandmother was a young girl when she came to the village, so she couldn't be 100 years old, which is consistent with her actual age now. As soon as the thought turned, I heard Sheng Shiyao say: "There is another possibility, your grandmother first discovered this stone room, practiced Huang Xingyuan, and then entered Zhangjia Village to settle down, so what Zhang Liuye saw was Cheng Qingping after he was young." ”

I looked at him in amazement, and tried to say no, but I opened my mouth but couldn't make a sound, and inexplicable fear told me that it was very likely. If this is the case, then my grandmother would probably be forty or fifty years old when she entered the village, and then because she had practiced secret arts, her face was young, which is why she "looked down" on the village boys.

But how can this explain how she discovered this stone chamber? Didn't you accidentally find it when you moved the graves of your ancestors? It's all messed up, it's all messed up, and the order is reversed, which means that many things have to be reversed.

First, my grandmother found the stone room in front, and then entered Zhangjia Village, during this period, the process of cultivating Huang Xingyuan's secret art must not be short, at least it must be more than two or three years. Could it be that for the past two or three years, my grandmother has lived in this stone room? What about the baby's clothing? Obviously it can't be Mom's.

In fact, what I really fear in my heart is that if these inferences are true, then judging by my age alone, I can't be my grandmother's own granddaughter, unless my grandmother, who is forty or fifty years old, can still give birth to her mother here.

"Don't dwell on it, what do you have in your hands?" Sheng Shiyao walked towards me.

I looked down and remembered the booklet I had just flipped through at the bottom of the box, and I hadn't had time to read it yet. After a cursory glance at a few lines and seeing the bottom of the booklet, my face couldn't help but change.
