I had to go back to my hometown this summer, and I returned to my hometown again after five years, and the local atmosphere is still intoxicating, and many hours of interesting stories are inadvertently recalled.

The hometown is in an ancient village in Shanyang, and according to legend, the people of this village are the descendants of the tomb guard general of a prince during the Tang Dynasty.

On the way back, I passed by the cemetery that I used to walk in when I was a child, and the heart-wrenching feeling was still there after many years, and a layer of white sweat oozed from my forehead in broad daylight.

It only takes three hours to get from Xi'an to Shanyang on the highway, but when you arrive in Shanyang County, you can transfer to a minibus to your hometown town and then climb two mountains to return to your hometown village.

After several treks, entering the village is already dark, deep in the mountains and old forests, the dark is relatively early, although it is summer, the air in the mountains is cool, in the evening, it is really a little gloomy.

When I was a child, I often heard that the cemetery near my home was haunted, and I often heard the sound of countless people moving stones and working in the middle of the night. The old people in the village said that it was the craftsman who repaired the tomb of the prince back then, and later all of them were killed in the tomb. As a result, there is an unwritten rule in the village that one cannot go out after sunset.

The sky was getting dark, and there was a person who carried a large bag and a small bag, and when he walked to the cemetery, he couldn't help but be afraid. At this moment, I noticed that five or six meters in front of me, there was an additional figure at some point, pitch black, and I couldn't see it clearly. I comforted myself and said that it might be a night walk in the village, nothing, maybe it was an acquaintance, so I coughed a few times.

Maybe I heard the cough, the black shadow moved, did not turn around and just walked forward, saw the black shadow gone, I hurriedly chased up, thinking that it might be a villager, it was dark, it was better to take a companion, it was better than walking alone at night, so I hurriedly accelerated the pace and chased up, strange, after chasing for a while, I found that the black shadow can always keep a certain distance from me, always five or six meters, and worse, I found that I had lost my way, and the place I was walking at the moment was no longer the village road by the cemetery, but a foot deep and a shallow foot in the barren mountains and forests.

After noticing the situation around me, I couldn't help but twist my legs and stomach, my scalp was numb, and I couldn't take half a step anymore, and I immediately sat down on the ground, and the cold sweat on my body had already soaked my clothes.

The dark shadow in front saw me sit down, he also stopped, turned to look at me, the moon was dark and the wind was high, I couldn't see my face at all, I was very scared, for fear that he would come over, remembering when I was a child passing through the cemetery, the old man taught the method of warding off evil spirits, put his hand on the ink pad in the center of his forehead, rubbed hard, it is said that he can borrow the real fire of Laojun to ward off evil spirits.

At this moment, regardless of whether this is superstition or not, whether it works or not, he rubs his eyebrows vigorously, and rubs off several eyebrows, but finds that it doesn't work at all, and the black shadow walks over step by step.

My heart went to my throat, I wanted to scream, I found that I made a sound, as if there was an invisible hand holding my throat, I felt stiff, it was difficult to move, I saw that the black shadow was about to touch me, my heartbeat was about to collapse, and at this time a voice came: "This is not an iron baby, why are you here?" ”

"Whoop???" Panting heavily, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the black shadow was not a ghost, it was Uncle Shancai who lived in one of our courtyards, and I was almost scared to death in this shock.

"It turned out to be Uncle Shancai, where are you going this big black day?" After wheezing for a long time, my whole body collapsed, and it took a while to recover and ask.

"I'm old, I can't sleep at night, there have been wild boars in the mountains recently, and I go to the mountains to see wild boars at night. Tiewazi, you haven't been back for a while, will you go home to see grandma this time? Uncle Shancai patted me on the shoulder and asked.

I nodded and said, "yes, I haven't been home in years, and this time I have to come back to see grandma." Why, after so many years, we are still making wild boars here? He took out a cigarette and lit it for Uncle Shancai, but he said that he was not used to smoking this cigarette, and he still smoked the tobacco leaves he grew vigorously. knocked the cigarette pouch and served a pot.

At this time, I thought that I followed Uncle Shancai on the wrong road and walked into the middle of the mountain, so I hurriedly asked: "I haven't come back for a few years and I have been confused and taken the wrong road, and I have to trouble Uncle Shancai to send me home." "Actually, it's mainly because I was really scared just now, and I don't dare to leave alone at the moment, so I want to follow Uncle Shancai to rest assured.

Uncle Shancai smiled, and took me down the mountain, and I didn't see how to turn around, and suddenly walked to the yard of my hometown, I beckoned Uncle Shancai to go in and sit down, he said that the wild boar in the mountains is very noisy, and the dealer will be ruined a lot if he goes late, or not. When someone has something, I'm not good at deadlifting, so I'll say goodbye.

When I got home, my grandmother had already fallen asleep, and when I heard that I was back, I didn't even wear shoes and ran out to open the door. Grandma is over 70 years old, her eyes are not good, she can't see it when it's dark, she feels black and wants to make me egg noodles to eat, she sees her grandmother's white hair, her heart is extremely sour, and I don't know how she has lived these years when no one has taken care of her.

When I put down my things, I talked to my grandmother about what happened just now, and said that in the end, Uncle Shancai sent me back, which scared me to death.

Grandma suddenly looked at me with wide eyes, and said in a half-loud voice: "Your Uncle Shancai died last summer???"

It's getting dark, and there's...

-----------------------------

Actually, you're fine, but luckily you're an acquaintance...... So it doesn't hurt you......

Grandma's words were like a bolt from the blue, and I was sitting on the ground with my butt on my head, my scalp was fried, and the cold air was coming from my back. I never dreamed that such a bizarre thing would happen to me. Thinking back to walking with Uncle Shancai all the way before, not to mention how scared I was in my heart, the fear is indescribable.

Grandma is an older generation, maybe I've seen a lot of such things, and I didn't care too much, but I just went to the kitchen and took a kitchen knife out and slapped it on my back three times, while patting my mouth and muttering something, something similar to Buddhism, I didn't hear it clearly, and I was sleepy in a daze.

In my dream, I saw Uncle Shancai again, he was squatting in the corner of the wall and still smoking a cigarette bag and pot, the forehead was like a mountain and a ravine, and the forehead was slightly wriggling, he always kept a distance from me, as if he wanted to say something to me, but he didn't dare to approach me. I rushed up to pull his arm, and just then, he suddenly disappeared. I was startled, and hurriedly looked around, and I saw a dark shadow walking into the cemetery of my hometown, I hurriedly chased after him, and saw him gesturing to me three times.

The first one is the index finger hooked back and the other four fingers are extended. The second is when the little finger and ring finger are hooked back and the remaining three fingers are stretched out. The third is the pinky, ring, and index fingers hooked back, and the middle finger and thumb come deep. After comparing three gestures, Uncle Shancai disappeared into the cemetery in a flash, and I suddenly woke up.

After sitting up, I found that my clothes were already soaked with sweat, and when I thought back to the dream, I always felt that Uncle Shancai seemed to be suing me for something, but I didn't understand the meaning of the three gestures. Later, I heard from my grandmother that the three gestures were nine numbers, eight and seven in the local representative's stroke, and I was a little confused.

I couldn't figure it out, and I gradually forgot about it, and I never thought that these three numbers would become the key to cracking the secret of the ghost of the Dragon Tower. That's an afterword.

After getting up, it was already three poles in the sun, I felt sore, rubbed my shoulders and walked out of the house. In the yard, my grandmother was chopping wood, her eyes were not good, and she was very slow to do it, but my grandmother was very firm, and she was very stable at a time, so I hurriedly ran over and took the firewood knife in my grandmother's hand and helped chop it.

Grandma said, "If you're hungry, I'll go and make you your favorite potatoes and buns." I said, "Great, I've thought about this bite for years, I can't eat it in the city, and even if I encounter it occasionally, I can't make it taste like yours, but grandma makes it the best." ”

Grandma always wears the gray cloth gown she likes, the kind of coarse cloth clothes with an oblique placket, all of which she can sew when she is young, and the little feet that grandma has wrapped are very difficult to walk, and the most unforgettable thing for me is that wrinkled, weather-beaten, but kind and kind face, although the face has become yellow after years of tempering and destruction, but it is unforgettable. Grandma is calm and capable, never dragging mud and water, when she was young, she often crossed the mountains and mountains alone, went to the street to buy and sell mountain goods, it is hard to imagine that grandma has such small feet, how to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads?

After my grandmother entered the house, I chopped wood in the yard, and within a few strokes I broke my hand, and I was really ashamed of myself compared to my grandmother. Grandma has worked hard all her life, experienced three years of famine, ten years of Cultural Revolution, a lifetime of hard work, and brought up the five children in the family, which is not suitable for hard work, but in the end there is no one to take care of her.

introduction

80 years ago, Shangluo Manchuan Ancient Town.

During the Republic of China, there was a shortage of soldiers, and if you pull up one hundred and ten people, you can engage in warlord secession, today you beat me tomorrow I will beat you, and changing warlords is faster than changing clothes.

The warlords are still unlucky in the melee, and the poor people are still unlucky, and there have been famines for many years, floating everywhere. This year, just in the autumn, there was a change of warlords, these people are different from before, after coming for less than half a month, they looked for Mr. Yin and Yang everywhere in the town, and the most famous person in the town at that time was Li Wuye, who was a talent that had not been met in a century. Wu Degui, the leader of the warlords, after finding the Li family, kidnapped the entire Li family without saying a word, grabbed Li Wuye and left.

After being caught, he was entertained with good wine and food, and the second monk of Li Wuye was confused. This is first kidnapping people, and then being entertained with good wine and food, which place is playing?

Li Wuye was pondering, Wu Degui came, and the first person who came in was his October pregnant belly, which was called a big one. After the fat man walked in, he greeted and toasted enthusiastically, which made Li Wuye even more confused. After pushing the cup and changing the wine for three rounds, Wu Degui knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged Li Wuye to save his life.

After some narration, Li Wuye realized that Wu Degui dug a big mushroom in the west of the town for money, which caused trouble. (The inverted bucket is called digging mushrooms in Shaanxi)

The west side of the town is called Hulu Tang, the mountain is peculiar, two mountain ranges meander down, such as arms embrace, forming an elliptical valley in the middle, a gourd mountain grows abruptly in the valley, and it is a gourd lying upside down, therefore, that piece is called Hulu Tang (lying), which means that the gourd is lying down. A small stream flows out of the gourd's mouth, the stream water is clear, and the water flows to form a small lake at the entrance of the valley, surrounded by double dragons, and the pearl is in the center, which is called double dragon playing with pearls in feng shui, also called the stars holding the moon.

After Wu Degui came, he went to Hulutang Mountain many times to look for dragons, but he didn't expect that this fat head and big ears still had some skills, and he actually saw that this was a feng shui mountain, and calculated the ancient tomb under the lake, so he ordered someone to intercept and release the water, ready to dig this big mushroom.

After tossing for several days, the water of the small lake was finally almost, revealing the bottom of the lake, at this time Wu Degui ordered someone to excavate, and after digging for a short time, he dug out a translucent stone platform, and he ordered someone to dig out the platform, but the people who approached were shocked when they looked closely, saying that there were people inside.

As soon as Wu Degui came as a warlord, this kind of deed was not the first time he had done it, so he naturally wouldn't believe that his subordinates were arrogant, so he gave a slap in the face and said: "Ge Laozi, you just don't have any knowledge, what is someone, this is a crystal coffin, and the corpse inside is called, do you understand?" Fuss. ”

Wu Degui said well, the bottom of this small lake is dug out of the crystal coffin, and the burial method is particularly strange, it is a rare burial method called the hidden dragon plate, the coffin is buried vertically, few people use this burial method, according to legend, this burial method is very strange, and ordinary people dare not use it indiscriminately. But what is strange is that this tomb has not been seen yet, how can it be dug up first, which is unreasonable.

However, Wu Degui didn't think much about it at that time, and said in his heart, how to say that this crystal coffin is worth thousands of oceans, first get it out and then talk about it, so he ordered people to continue to excavate, and he dug for a day, digging nearly five meters deep, and he didn't see the bottom of the crystal coffin, it seems that this crystal coffin grew out of the ground, and now Wu Degui's face was a little unbearable, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart was a little hairy, he had never seen such a long coffin, what was buried in it?

Wu Degui felt that the situation was not good, so he asked his subordinates to stop and rest, and he went home to look for information by himself.

However, a terrible thing happened that night, and the people who dug up the coffin with Wu Degui all died at home, without any wounds on their bodies, but the expression on their faces was a cruel smile. As soon as Wu Degui saw that something was going on, he hurriedly ordered someone to bury the crystal coffin, but after the burial, the strange thing did not end, and those buried people also died the next morning, just like the people in front of him, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wu Degui stayed on the spot, flustered, prepared three animal sacrifices, went to the lake to worship the strange corpse in the coffin, was worshipping, suddenly saw a black shadow crawling out of it, his frightened eyes were straight, trembling, after returning home that night, he didn't close his eyes all night, and the next morning when he got up, he found that there was a strange black hair on his hands.

This led to Wu Degui tying up the Li family and forcing Li Wuye to save him. After Li Wuye heard this, his face sank, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, his eyebrows were twisted together, and that night he prepared the hooves of the black donkey, and went to the small lake that Wu Degui said.

Li Wuye went and never came back. Wu Degui was so anxious that he sent people to look everywhere, but he didn't find even a shadow. Wu Degui believed that with Li Wuye's family in hand, Li Wuye would definitely not run, so there was only one possibility, and he didn't dare to think about it. Wu Degui was so frightened that he died a few days later, and after his death was very bizarre, covered with black hair, and the locals said that he was possessed by a black demon, so he burned him.

What happened to Li Wuye after he went to Xiaohu? Nobody knows. The crystal coffin under the small lake is so long, what is it that is constricted? No one knows. What exactly is the black shadow crawling out of the crystal coffin? Why did Wu Degui have black hair all over his body after he died? Where is the burial of the hidden dragon plate? None of this is known.

After Wu Degui's death, the trees fell and scattered, the warlords dispersed, and the arrested Li family returned. The old lady of the Li family went to the small lake, and after seeing it, she came back and said to her family: "The fifth child will come back." Then he said: "Crystal coffin, hidden dragon plate, upside-down golden gourd." ”

The Li family didn't understand what it meant, so they saw that the old lady stopped talking, and the eldest daughter-in-law went to help the old lady, only to find that the old lady's head was crooked and she had lost her breath.

After a long time, someone walked through the small lake and found that the lake had been filled with water at some point, and then there was no more strange thing in the town, and the matter was over.

The story begins 80 years later.
