"That's the whole story," the old man told a lot in one breath, and there was a hint of tiredness in his demeanor.

"Well, really, I can't imagine that so many things are involved for a piece of jade" I sighed, and only the parties involved can understand the grievances and entanglements.

"Uncle, is the black shadow that Baozi and the old dog saw the soul of the eldest son? But I heard from Baozi that the shadow was torturing a person on the first night? If the previous story is not true, then how can this be explained? Xingchen, who had been silent, rarely spoke.

The old man waved his hand and said: "Oh, the black shadow you said is the soul of the eldest son, or the resentment is more appropriate, as for the person who tortured him, he was the one who gave the Zhang family the idea at the beginning, and the eldest son beat the most vicious before he died."

I don't know why I suddenly wondered, how did the old man know such a detailed one? This tone of narration is not like hearsay at all, but more like experience!

I looked at the old man carefully, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

The old man noticed my gaze, looked at me with a smile, and said: "The Zhang family was torn apart because of that piece of jade, and finally divided into three branches, one went abroad for development, one went to the south, and the last one stayed in the northeast."

Speaking of this, the old man pointed to himself and said, "And I am the only living clansman left in the Northeast."

Sure enough, although there are some deviations from what I thought, it is not very big, the old man is from the Zhang family!

"What about the jade? What about the whereabouts of the jade? Which one was taken away? "I asked, this piece of jade is too involved, the state cannot allow this kind of thing to wander outside, and for an upright Chinese, this is related to the interests of the motherland, and indeed does not want it to fall into the hands of people who should not fall into the hands of others."

The old man smiled mysteriously: "Boy, I can fool you by telling a story, why bother to tell you again?" Have you thought about it? And even if I don't look for you, you won't have any tonight, if the eldest son's unjust soul wants to find you, you will have an accident a long time ago."

When I heard it, I was slightly surprised, if the old man wanted to tell the story so much, there must be something that attracted him to tell it, if it was just to satisfy our curiosity, just say something, there is no need to tell it completely, there must be something in it.

The old man looked at us in deep thought, and didn't speak, and it took a long time before he spoke: "The first time this kid looked for me, I found a problem, even if you can't touch me tonight, I will go to you" The old man pointed to the old dog again.

Don't? It's an old dog! There are some places in the old dog that let the old man find a problem? But I didn't find anything unusual about the old dog.

Seeing that Xingchen and I didn't see a reason for a long time, the old man shook his head, stared at the old dog tightly and said, "Boy, take out the things hanging around your neck."

I looked at the old dog, the old dog smiled helplessly, pulled out the thing he was wearing around his neck from the collar, I looked at it carefully, and was stunned, it turned out to be a piece of jade jade!

I suddenly thought of the name of the old dog, Zhang Zhengtian, Zhang! , I'm so stupid, why didn't I expect that the old dog and the old dog are all familiar to me, if there is no mistake, the piece of jade on the old dog's neck is the baby that defy the sky: Liangchen jade!

"Liangchen Baoyu!" The stars and I lost my voice. Such a super treasure turned out to be on my classmate's body, I couldn't help but sigh fate, this is really, it seems that everything is inseparable from cause and effect, maybe this piece of jade is destined to appear again.

"What are you arguing about, I said that you two boys have read all these books in vain? This is indeed the piece of treasure that the Zhang family got! But it's not a real Liangchen Baoyu, it's a pity that the Zhang family has been torn apart for such a fake, hey, the ...... of people" The old man's eyes that were staring at him slowly became vicissitudes.

The old dog, who was silent for a while, also opened his mouth: "Baozi, Xingchen, I didn't expect it, until I listened to the story, I faintly felt that the thing on my neck was that piece of jade, the old man was right, when my father gave it to me, he said that this piece of jade is a very famous jade fake, although it is a fake, but it is handed down from the family, so I must maintain it properly, hey, I didn't expect it to be Liangchen Baoyu" The old dog sighed.

"What about the real jade?" I asked.

"I don't know where it went for a long time, maybe it was taken away by the antique dealer, maybe it was a fake when he bought it, I don't know, this kind of thing disappears, let it belong to the long river of history, and when one day people no longer want and need it so much, it may be able to appear" The old man replied with a smile.

"What is your father's name, boy surnamed Zhang?"

The old dog smiled: "My father's name is Zhang Zhongguo"

"Haha, it's that stinky boy, now he has a son, he was very naughty at the beginning" To be honest, the old man's laughter was very happy, and yes, countless years have passed, and it is indeed exciting to hear the news of his relatives, especially for this old man who has been lonely for a long time and guards a big secret alone.

"My father would be very happy if he knew that there were still people from your clan," said the old dog with a smile.

"Hey, I was young back then, how many years have passed, and now that I'm old, I don't have many years to live."

"No, you'll live a long life," said the old dog.

I watched the conversation between the old dog and the old man, and my heart warmed.

"That's right, boy, you have to come with me in a while, the piece of jade in your hand will be contributed, the eldest son's lonely soul has been here for a long time, it's time to release the soul"

"Soul-free?" The old dog asked.

"Well, you saw the first dormitory at the gate when you came, right? The eldest son's soul is there, let's release the eldest son's soul first, and then go to the cemetery on the mountain to return this piece of jade, and the eldest son's obsession will be gone."

"Okay," the three of us agreed.

There was nothing in the first dormitory! With only empty rooms and tattered walls, it is hard to imagine such a room that binds the soul of this person.

The old man scraped the wall with the key, and several pieces of the wall fell, and I saw some charms pasted on them, similar to Dao runes.

"It's this thing that trapped the eldest son's soul so that he couldn't act recklessly," said the old man, stroking the wall.

"Now, it's time for him to be at peace," the old man snapped off a large number of charms.

I watched the old man clean the charms on the wall, but my heart was very complicated, finally, the eldest son could rest in peace.

Coming out of the bedroom, the old man opened the locked door and took us to the top of the mountain, the slightest cool breeze blew me, I looked at the quiet night, and felt a sigh in my heart, the bright moon was in the sky, a few stars dotted in the sky, like a picture scroll, I wish the soul of the eldest son to go to the underworld, there is also such a beautiful scenery.

The old man gently put the jade on the old dog's neck on a small stone slab, I knew that this was the place where the eldest son was buried, I silently blessed it, and the old dog was silently praying like Xingchen and me.

Tonight's night is exceptionally bright, and I'm sure someone other than us must feel it.

The next morning, we embarked on the way home, sitting on the big guest, I looked at the education base in the mountains, suddenly, I seemed to see a shadow, faint, hazy, I don't know who it was, maybe it was a gentle and beautiful shadow in my heart, standing quietly, just like decades ago, the same look was looking into the distance.
