Blind Li went to Lao Jiao's house to inquire about the news, and I came to the programmer's room and banged on the door. As soon as everyone left, the programmer hadn't slept yet, and opened the door and looked at me with a stunned expression. You're welcome, walked into the room, and closed the door: "Let's chat." ”

"I told you everything, the reason why I came to the battlement yard is because that wooden brand is bewitching me." The programmer said.

"What the hell is going on, you say from beginning to end." I moved a chair and sat across from him.

The programmer was silent for a moment, and then said, "Tonight, I'll go to the ancestral hall alone, and I'm going to study the wooden sign again......

"I wondered," I interrupted, "You left a video of that brand, you took a photo, and studied it for several years, why haven't you studied it yet, what are you doing at night?" ”

"You'll know when I'm done," the programmer said, "the words on that sign are changing." ”

"Oh?" I hear something interesting.

The programmer said: "Let's talk about tonight's events first, I arrived at the ancestral hall and was about to study, and suddenly saw a person standing in the shadows, I was very frightened, and I used the flashlight to shine carefully, and found that this figure was just a black shadow falling on the wall, but there was no body. Xiao Feng, I have also seen the world, although I was frightened at the time, I didn't think about running. The figure suddenly spoke......"

"The dark shadow on the wall talking?" I question.

"Yes." The programmer said, "It told me that it was a spirit hidden in a sign, and that it was going to give me a fortune when it saw that I was so religious." It told me to come to the village entrance at two o'clock in the night, and something big would happen. Then I went in a daze, just like a Gu. “

I patiently said, "When you left, the wooden sign was still there?" ”

"Yes." The programmer affirmed: "By the time we go back to the ancestral hall, the wooden sign is gone." ”

I couldn't deduce what was going on, everything was inexplicably weird, as if it was covered in a big background, I couldn't break free, and I felt suffocated.

"Tell me about the origin of that wooden plaque, which was dug up from your ancestral grave?"

The programmer said: "This thing was weird from the beginning, and there were still human lives in it. ”

I'll let him elaborate.

The programmer said that it would be about seven or eight years since he said this, when the road next to the village was to be built, and it happened to pass the old cemetery, not only the old Yang family, but also the cemeteries of the nearby ten miles and eight villages were all there, and they were all facing relocation.

Moving graves is a big deal, and even programmers like programmers who have not brought back to their hometowns for hundreds of years have to follow their elders back. It was a cold day, and the old Yang family was close to each other, so there were dozens of people, and such a big family gathered in the village, and many people even saw each other for the first time in their lives.

The programmer told me that there is a key person among these relatives, named Yang Ye, what is the key method, he will say in a moment. This Yang Ye is the programmer's distant cousin, the two met when they were children, and they didn't see each other again for so many years.

The next day, there is a rule in the village, you can't open the grave during the day, why, it's called a violent corpse, and the bones dug up are illuminated by the sun, which is not good. Bones belong to the yin thing, naturally it is night, at that time the old village chief was already the village head, just Zhang Luo, he specially invited the Taoist priest from the town.

In the early hours of the morning, it was the auspicious day for the relocation of the grave, and everyone followed the Taoist priest to the cemetery. There is also a special thing when moving the grave, not that everyone goes, but also depends on the birthday of the phase or something, anyway, the cold day is the second half of the night, this is a chore, and those who did not go were elated.

Among the people who went were programmers and Yang Ye. The two followed the crowd and came to the cemetery together. In addition to the Taoist priests, there were also two masters who were hired at a high price. The so-called building village is to move the grave, and the master of the village is a good name, and to put it bluntly, it is a gravedigger.

When the time came, the Taoist priest lit the incense and jumped with the peachwood sword, Yang Ye and the programmer belonged to the juniors, not the eldest son, they could only stand behind, the two of them poked and cooed and laughed in a low voice, not taking this seriously at all. Yang Ye saw that the Taoist priest was wearing a pair of tourist shoes, how to watch how to play, he couldn't stop laughing, and the programmer pinched him violently, signaling him to converge.

At this moment, I heard the commotion of the crowd in front of me. Both of them were so lively, knowing that something was wrong, they hurriedly squeezed forward, squeezed in front of the back, and several old people standing by the grave almost fell into the grave.

After a long toss, the programmer realized what was wrong, and it turned out that after digging up the cemetery of the ancestors, he found that the pit was full of water.

The grave pit is flooded, which is a great omen. The ancestors of the Yang family are said to be from the Ming Dynasty, and the corpse may have rotted long ago, and he is not afraid of the corpse, but the water is pouring back, and the feng shui is broken, which is always unlucky. The Taoist priest sealed the tomb at that time, and was not allowed to dig it again, and told the old Yang family to find a pumping machine to pump water tomorrow.

The next day, during the day, a shed was built on top of the grave, and then the pump was pumped wildly, pumped to the bottom, and the water was pumped out, and finally saw what was inside.

It was empty, except for a small wooden box. The gravedigger dug the grave deeper and wider, and there was really nothing left, only this thing.

The Yang family present looked at each other, this is the tomb of their ancestors, according to genealogical records, buried in the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of years after years of changes, this tomb has been buried well, and has not been passive, why is there only a box inside, no bones, is it a well-dressed mound?

The whole thing was like a dull dark cloud hanging over the heads of the old Yang family, and everyone felt gloomy and stuffy.

The Taoist priest came to Lao Yang's house with a box and cleaned it with clean water, which was made of pure wood, black and not slippery, without any texture or carving on the surface. The most bizarre thing is that this thing is completely integrated, and there is no place to twist and buckle after rummaging through.

The Taoist priest circled around the box three times, but he didn't dare to open it, and later the old Yang family doubled the money, and the Taoist priest reluctantly took out the knife and prepared a hard one.

This box is really not like an urn, it is too small, some people wonder if it will contain the gold and silver jewelry left by their ancestors, when a group of people began to calculate, really dig up the gold and silver treasures how to divide.

At this time, the Taoist priest said that he could not open this box. Why, the Taoist priest just found that there are two lines of characters on the box, which is a very ancient seal character, which reads "When it encounters water, it is hidden, and when it encounters fire, it is opened".

The Taoist priest stopped talking, this person is an old Jianghu, he is afraid that he will be burned with fire, if something really goes wrong, he can't afford to pay the responsibility.

In order to open the box, Lao Yang's family studied for three days, and finally decided to burn it with fire. Once it burns out, you think you're unlucky, and you don't think you've ever dug up it. Which Cheng wants to burn it with fire, but it can't be burned. After burning for an hour, the surface of the wood was still black, and there was no sign of heating.

Someone suggested that this box should be sold at all, and it is estimated that this box is also a treasure and can be sold for a lot of money. But many people objected, the box was so precious, let alone the contents inside.

It was a coincidence that the Taoist priest looked through the genealogy of the old Yang family, hoping to find some clues, and saw Yang Ye's name at a glance. Call him out and ask him if the "Ye" in his name is next to the word fire.

Yang Ye was stunned at the time and said yes. The Taoist priest pushed the box in front of him and said, "You can try it."

Lao Yang's family suddenly realized that he was still a well-informed humanist, and the meaning of opening it when it met fire was not to burn it with fire, but to open it with a person with the word fire in his name, which was really mysterious.

Yang Ye took the deep hopes of all the old Yang family, there was no way, he went to fiddle with the box, he was afraid of getting dirty, he was wearing gloves, he shook it in his hand, and suddenly there was a crisp "click", and the box opened.

Everyone came around, and Yang Ye was the one who opened the box, he must be the first to see it, he opened the lid of the box, looked inside, and a puff of black smoke erupted from the box, covering his face, and he fainted immediately.

The programmer told me that the scene was very chaotic at that time, but fortunately, his uncle, Village Chief Yang, was in charge of the overall situation, and arranged for Yang Ye to rest first, so that the Taoist priest could see what was going on, and he should be sent to the hospital. Others wore masks and carefully opened the lids.

Looking at it this way, everyone is full of anger, there is no fart in it, only a wooden brand, it seems to be an ancestral brand. No one was interested, so they threw this sign directly into the ancestral hall of their hometown.

Yang Ye was sent to the hospital, and after the examination, it was found that it was gastrointestinal poisoning, which was not a big deal, and he woke up when he arrived at the hospital, and was discharged after two days.

This time, the old Yang family moved the grave with a gray face, and they also hoped to dig out some good things for everyone to share, tossing such a big meal, and digging out a small card, which made people laugh out of their big teeth.

This matter has passed, and even the programmer has not been interested, and then an incident happened that made him feel that the whole thing is not so simple.

A year and a half after the grave was moved, the programmer once inadvertently recalled this past incident and thought it was very interesting, so he wanted to contact Yang Ye to ask about the current situation. A phone call came, it was Yang Ye's father who answered, and his father told the programmer an extremely unbelievable thing, Yang Ye had committed homicide and had been executed.

The programmers were stunned, and hurriedly asked what was going on, Yang Ye's father obviously did not recover from the pain of losing his son, and he didn't want to talk about it more, so he asked the programmer to search for it on Baidu.

The programmer hurriedly searched and finally found the social news at that time, and after he read it, he felt even more incredible.

According to the news at the time, Yang Ye's girlfriend had an outside heart and stepped on two boats, but was somehow discovered by Yang Ye. This kid was angry from his heart, and one night he ran to the girl's house and killed his girlfriend and the boy who was cheating on him, and the method was so cruel that it is said that the old criminal police could not bear to witness it when they investigated the scene.

The news is very short, and the details are not written in the news. Where does the programmer think it's incredible, Yang Ye he has come into contact with, a typical otaku, a very warm dick, not to mention killing, he doesn't dare to look at the old Yang's family gathering to kill chickens in the yard.

The programmer suddenly remembered what happened when the grave was moved, and he had an intuition, could Yang Ye's murderous behavior have anything to do with his poisoning at that time?
