Medicine King Chapter 38 - The Mystery of the Wang Family
A few people quickly ran to the door of the building, and at this time they had already come to the foot of the "Immortal Peak".
Wang Jin didn't know what the difference was in style between the buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but looking at the building in front of him, it must be the architectural style of the Han people, which should be right.
Said to be looking, but just a glance. At this time, even Uncle Wang ran into the door in a panic.
didn't wait for Wang Jin to enter the door, but he heard his uncle scolding inside: Ge Laozi! I'm an ancestor of you. Wang Jin unconsciously followed in.
The first thing Wang Jin saw when he went in was a few arrows firmly nailed to the wall. The shaft of the arrow was the thickness of a man's thumb, and the shaft of the arrow was jet black. Looking along the path of the arrows, there were several heavy machines on the roof behind them, where they were placed.
Feelings, the ancestors set up such an organ here! Just by the size of those heavy crossbows, it can be seen that it is not a toy for ordinary hunting, let alone children. It is a weapon that can be extremely lethal on the battlefield. Looking at Uncle and them again, I couldn't help but gasp, there were two people lying on the ground.
Wang Jin has never seen a dead person several times in his life, including the time when his father was bitten by a snake. At this time, the whole person was numb. The two men were lying on the ground, apparently dead for a long time.
Uncle and Uncle Wang squatted down to observe the situation, and after they looked at it for a while, Uncle reached out and turned over a corpse. As soon as Wang Jin saw the dead man's face, he felt a wave of nausea in his stomach, and he vomited. It's an instinctive physiological response, nothing more.
But everyone completely ignored Wang Jin's reaction, and everyone's attention was focused on the two dead bodies who came inexplicably at this moment. You must know that the secret of this "Immortal Peak" has been hidden in the Wang family for more than two hundred years, and now that outsiders have broken in, it will not be good news anyway.
Wang Jin rubbed his stomach himself, trying not to let himself fall. Standing far away, I forced myself to see what was going on.
Everyone saw that the flesh and skin of the corpse were long gone, but the clothes they were wearing were intact. This surprised Wang Jin. However, what surprised him even more was that the color of the clothes worn by the two corpses, whether red or green, was actually "camouflage uniform".
At the same time, a military belt was tied around the waist of each person. At this time, he was loose and boastful, and he was clearly wearing the holster of this pistol, but this holster was empty at this time.
Uncle Baiwang and Abba Song asked Uncle Wang almost at the same time: How long have these two turtle sons been dead?
Uncle Wang looked at the corpse and didn't twist his head: I haven't been here for two years. These two guys should have followed us on the front foot and the back foot. However, these two guys didn't die here, but they seemed to have been carried here, or they were hit by some kind of mechanism. After the seizure, he fell here.
As soon as he said the organ, except for Wang Jin, the expressions of the other people immediately showed great horror.
Uncle immediately took out the torch from Abba Song's basket, took out the lighter and lit it. The hand was still trembling.
Uncle Wang shouted to uncle: Don't panic, stabilize it. Then he took the torch himself and walked inside. Where the torch was lit, Wang Jin saw clearly, it turned out to be just a big shadow wall. There should have been a lot of murals on the walls, but by this time they had mostly fallen off and were covered with dust and cobwebs.
Uncle helped Uncle Baiwang and Uncle Song move the two corpses to the corner of the wall and found something to cover them. asked Uncle Baiwang to go out and bring the dog in, and then beckoned Wang Jin to hand the bamboo basket to Uncle Song.
The two of them then turned over the shadow wall and entered inside. saw Uncle Wang lighting oil lamps in all directions. In a few moments, the room was lit up. Wang Jin saw that on the front wall was a row of ranks, all of which were surnamed Wang. A huge statue of the Heavenly King is placed in the middle, and you know that these are all members of your royal family.
The top ranking says that the ancestor king's surname is the position of Tianxia Lu, and I know that it is the grandfather of the great grandfather. It turned out that Grandpa Taizu's name was: Wang Tianlu. Without waiting for his uncle's instructions, he went up and knelt down and kowtowed eight times.
At this time, when the uncle saw that the ranking of the ancestors was still intact and had not been destroyed, his heart was not as flustered as he was just now.
But Wang Jin saw him and Uncle Wang making a look, so he went out. I knew that he must have gone to investigate some powerful agency, and it was probably related to the cause of death of those two people. And that mechanism might be even more powerful than the heavy crossbow on that door.
Uncle Wang pointed to the rankings and said to Wang Jin: This is our "Southern Sichuan Snake King Valley Wang Family" listed as the ancestors. Have you ever heard of the Tangmen in Shuzhong?
When Wang Jin heard it, how did this pop up, and he had really heard the name: it was all said in the novel, and it was said that he was a master of using poison and hidden weapons, and he never thought it was true.
Uncle Wang didn't explain much about this, but said: This thing in front of you is not for you to see, can you believe it? People, seeing is believing, and hearing is true, so that they are willing to believe. However, what you have seen with your own eyes and heard with your own ears may not be true. Now is not the time to talk to you in detail, but the Tang Sect does exist, and it is not all the way with us. They have their ruthlessness, and we have our poison. When the centipede encounters the snake, it has nothing to do and goes its own way, so they don't disturb each other. But this Tang Sect is very powerful, our Wang family, the Qing Dynasty only came here when it was founded. That's hard to take root on someone else's turf! This happened suddenly, and I have to tell you the ins and outs of our Wang family. Of course, Wang Jin wanted you to say it quickly, so he hurriedly urged the old man to tell him quickly.
Tell me about this place first, you see it. This was originally a village of the Yi people. It was our third grandfather and grandfather of his generation who started to buy it. How did it get into the hands of your third grandfather? I have to say that when your third grandfather was walking on the road, by chance, he saved the life of a laissez-faire official in the south. Later, when this official returned to Beijing, he wanted to promote the third grandfather. Just in time, Kangxi Ye was looking for the best coffin in the world! Do you know where the best coffin board comes out?
Wang Jin said that he had heard of this: people said that they ate in Yangzhou and died in Liuzhou, but they don't know why.
Uncle Wang: The Qing Dynasty emperor's family was very particular about funerals. The best coffin should be golden silk nanmu. Jin Si Nan has been abundant in Yunnan and Guizhou in the past dynasties. But where the coffins were made in the past, all the places where people could reach were cut down. The senior official asked our third grandfather if he could help find it. The third grandfather paid attention to it, collected medicine in this vicinity, and happened to find a few good golden silk nan. The big one should be hugged by ten people. When it was cut down, it was transported out along the river outside. Take the river fortune, naturally you have to pass through Liuzhou, do you understand this?
The official dedicated such good materials to the imperial court, which was naturally a great credit, and asked the third grandfather what reward he wanted. By the way, let's talk about it, I have to talk about the rules set by the second grandfather, I also heard the old man pass it down from generation to generation. said that when Grandpa Taizu was dying, he confessed to his son, and since then, the Wang family will never be allowed to be an official or do business, and can only live by handicraft.
But when it came to the generation of the second grandfather, it was still very bitter. This medical skill is really not very clever, and this rule makes people have no way to live! Therefore, the second grandfather has set this method, and the descendants of the grandfather's legacy can be regarded as the descendants of the snake king. Otherwise, even if it is a biological child, it can only be treated like an outsider.
It wasn't until the generation of our third grandfather that there was a real improvement. At that time, the third grandfather didn't want to be an official, and he didn't want money, so he wanted this mountain. That Kangxi Ye gave an edict, but it didn't reach our descendants. If there is, what is it, it is the title certificate! Hey, I regretted it when I said it.
