Chapter 31: Chen Dingmao's Thoughts
I have to say that the Wolves really helped us get a good start. With their help, we opened a stone door with a looted corpse, but in a relatively corner.
The stone door is very bright, and there are oil lamps in the corridors on both sides, and I don't know how long it has been burning. As we walked down the corridor, Sun Ao murmured, "This is the real everlasting light, right?" After all, no one could enter this ancient tomb until the Dao Talisman fell. β
I frowned. I had seen Changming Lantern at the beginning, and I was still a minion in the Yuanmen branch in Shanghai at that time. Luo Qiaoqiao took us to rob the tomb, and there were fake lanterns inside.
But this should be true, and this is the first time I've seen a real lantern.
"I heard that the lantern is made of corpse oil, and I don't know if it's real or fake." Li Xueer said.
We all shook our heads and said we didn't know, this kind of thing was so old, and there were so many opinions that no one could figure out what it was.
in this corridor. There is also a huge mural carving, but the mural looks very strange, it is a group of people who look like ancient soldiers standing together, and they actually use a pair of feet to build a hill. And behind the soldier there was a man dressed as a general, who was holding a knife in his hand, and beside the general was a woman, who knelt on the ground and looked at the general pleadingly, as if to say something.
I wondered, "What is this?" β
Sun Ao studied it carefully, and then said: "It seems that Zhang Xianzhong took the jade foot to light the sky lantern." β
"What do you mean?"
None of us quite knew what Sun Ao was talking about, and Sun Ao explained: "It's a legend, and no one knows whether it's true or not. There was an insurrectionist named Zhang Xianzhong before. It is the same village as Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang. He was brutal by nature and loved to kill. There are two theories about him lighting sky lanterns with jade feet. One is that he was ill for a long time at that time, and some people said that if he gathered enough 1,000 pairs of jade feet to light the sky lantern, his condition would be stable. So he ordered his soldiers to go out, and when he saw the woman, he cut off her feet and brought them back, and then he cut off the feet of his own concubine. β
"And what else is there to say?" I asked.
Sun Ao thought for a while and said: "The second theory is that one day Zhang Xianzhong's concubine came up with an idea, and she said that if a woman's feet were piled up to form a hill, it would be very beautiful. Zhang Xianzhong thought it was interesting, so he ordered the soldiers to go out and cut off the women's feet everywhere, and finally piled up a small mountain. After the hill was piled up, the concubine said that if there was a three-inch golden lotus on the top of the hill, it would be very beautiful. Zhang Xianzhong felt that it was very reasonable, and then looked at the concubine's legs and said, Aren't you a three-inch golden lotus? So, he cut off the concubine's legs. β
I frowned and said, "No one knows whether this is the official history or the wild history, but the question is why it appears in this ancient tomb." Do you remember the extra scene in our minds when we first entered the tomb? β
Everyone nodded. They all said they remembered. I said in a deep voice, "Do you feel ...... Is that the buried child and the mother in the twenty-four filial pieties? β
Ito Akisui wondered: "What is burying a child and serving a mother?" β
"Qiushui, you are from the island country, so you don't know ......," I smiled, "China has twenty-four filial pieties, and burying your son and serving your mother is one of them." That is to say, there is a person named Guo Ju whose family is poor. But very filial. Later, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, and he felt that if he wanted to raise more sons, he was afraid that he would not have the money to support his mother again, and the son could have another son, but his mother could not be resurrected. So he discussed with his wife that he wanted to bury his son and devote himself to supporting his mother, and his wife agreed. β
Ito Akisui covered his mouth and said in surprise: "Oh my God, it's so cruel, since you know that you can't feed it...... Why do you have to give birth to a baby? Since you know that you can't feed yourself, why didn't you take care of your lower body in the first place? β
I laughed, "After all, it's a legend, when they were digging a pit." dug out a jar of gold, on which was written God-given Guo Ju, it turned out that Cang Tian was moved by Guo Ju's filial piety. So they happily brought the gold back, so that they could raise it together with their mother and son. β
"But in any case, this is still very cruel, they did have the idea of burying their son at the beginning, this kind of person is disgusting." Ito Akisui shook his head and said.
Sun Ao frowned and said, "Strange, why are there so many ancient things left in the ancient tomb?" β
"That's not right!"
I took out a cigarette and lit it, and after pondering for a while, I said calmly: "These things are not left by the owner of the ancient tomb, but by Chen Dingmao. β
People's faces changed, and Sun Ao was surprised: "Why do you say this? β
"I remember when Chen Dingmao came to Dao Fa Sect to give a lecture, you weren't there, right?" I asked.
They all nodded, and Li Xue'er sighed: "The law enforcement department wants to ensure people's safety, so there is no chance to enter the classroom to listen to the class." β
I took out the Zhang Dao Talisman from my pocket and whispered, "This is the result of listening to that class, this is the Dao Talisman I drew myself, but I don't know what the effect is. I'm afraid I'll hurt myself, so I don't dare to use it yet. It can be seen from that lecture that Chen Dingmao is a person who opposes old-fashioned clichΓ©s and insists on right and wrong. For him, even if it is something left by his ancestors, as long as it is wrong. Then you should get out, you are a person with more extreme ideas. β
Sun Ao was surprised: "What do you mean......?" β
"That's right! He's looking for the right person for him! β
I touched the mural with my hand and wiped off some dust, and sure enough, the mural on it was still quite new, and if it was left by the owner of the ancient tomb, I am afraid it would have been damaged a long time ago. I said in a deep voice: "He probably put some wrong history or tradition in this tomb in the hope of finding people who are like-minded with him. And the like-minded person will definitely get benefits, such as those five treasures! β
"Makes sense!"
My teammates all nodded vigorously, and I said in a deep voice: "Keep walking, no matter what you see for a while, remember to think about it, and think about how you can integrate yourself into Chen Dingmao's thoughts." β
"Okay."
We continued down the hallway, and in a short time we came to a corner. As soon as we reached the corner, a terrible cry suddenly came from inside, which frightened the four of us for a moment.
What is it?
We cautiously poked our heads out, only to see that behind this corner was a room that was not too small or small. There was a woman lying on the floor of the room, and the woman was tied up with flowers. And there was a man crouching next to the woman sharpening his knife.
The most shocking thing is that the two of them are wearing the clothes of the groom and bride in ancient times. The woman kept crying, and the man angrily drank a few words to tell her to shut up. Behind the man, there was a cauldron that was boiling. The smell of soup wafted through the room.
"This could be an opportunity...... "I whispered," I whispered, "and we'll go out and talk." β
"Okay."
Sun Ao was the first to agree, and as the captain, he agreed, and the others naturally had no opinion. We walked to the room, and Sun Ao shouted, "What to do!?" β
The man was startled when he saw us come in suddenly. The woman hurriedly opened her mouth to speak to us, but when she opened her mouth, we were stunned.
She opened her mouth. Immediately, a lot of blood spurted out of her mouth, and it turned out that the woman's tongue had been brutally cut out. The man sharpening the knife sighed, and he said, "Don't get me wrong, she kept scolding, and I cut out her tongue." β
I frowned and said, "Then why did she scold you?" β
"This is a wolf-hearted woman...... "The man explained, standing up, "I toil every day outside to feed her and the children, and she steals men outside." It's simply unforgivable. β
When we heard this, we were all a little stunned.
According to Chen Dingmao's meaning, what do you want us to do? Is it to save the woman?
"Something is wrong...... Sun Ao whispered, "I think that man seems to be a ghost, and the yin qi is very light, and the woman is also a ghost, but the yin qi is much heavier." It stands to reason that if you want to get a treasure. It should be on the more difficult side, but if we help women against men, it's on the easy side. I mean, would Chen Dingmao give away the treasure so easily? β
I also feel inexplicable, and I feel that it is not logical.
"That's not right!"
At this moment, Ito Qiushui suddenly shouted: "Don't stop him from killing that woman, Chen Dingmao wants us to deal with more powerful ghosts!" β
"What?"
We looked at Ito Qiushui suspiciously, but at this moment, Sun Ao suddenly exclaimed, "There is a very powerful Yin Qi, which is approaching us!" β
