"Who's digging my grave?" The sound came again, striking hard at every nerve in me, and it felt like my heart was about to pop out of my chest, and I stood straight and didn't dare to look back, my head buzzing. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The cousin looked up and shouted, "Me! It's a human or a ghost! ”

I saw an old man limping out of the grass not far away, wearing a coarse cloth military hat and a very straight waist, and said, "A few young people, if you don't learn, learn from others to dig holes, this is a curse!" ”

The cousin provoked: "What's the matter with you, who are you scaring by pretending to be a ghost at night!" ”

"Haha, the young man has a good temper, good! But...... You're digging my grave, of course I'm going to take care of it! The old man said with a smile.

I came back from my stupor, pulled my cousin and said, "This old man is probably a psychopath, leave him alone." ”

My cousin was really stubborn with the old man, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen someone point to the grave and say it's his own, could it be that my grandfather crawled out of the grave by himself?" ”

The old man was surprised: "You said that Li Wangcheng is your grandfather?" ”

"Yes, do you think we really lack virtue enough to dig other people's ancestral graves?" The cousin said indignantly.

"Oh...... I am an old friend of Li Wangcheng, who just came from Shanghai and want to give him incense! ”

Tears flashed in the corners of the old man's eyes, and there was an indescribable sadness in his expression for a moment, which could never come out in disguise. Then the little bell walked up to the old man and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry! ”

I also quickly added: "I didn't know it was my grandfather's old friend just now, I'm really embarrassed!" ”

The old man reached out and patted me on the shoulder, then patted my cousin, and nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad, good boy!" ”

The blind man jumped out from the side and said, "Grandpa, we still have some business, let's go home and talk when we're done!" ”

"Okay, okay, you're busy!" The old man walked aside with a smile.

Then I hurriedly filled in the grave with my blind cousin, while the old man squinted and smoked a dry cigarette.

I wondered why the old man didn't ask us why we were digging the grave, and why I wasn't surprised by the empty coffin, and I had a vague sense that this old man who had suddenly arrived might know something.

When the group returned home, it was already more than half of the morning, and the little bell brought a few glasses of water from the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, please drink water!" ”

The old man was happy to praise the little bell for being beautiful and sensible.

I finally couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you ask us why we dig the grave?" ”

The old man took a sip of the water glass and said mysteriously, "Because I know!" ”

We were all at a loss and said in unison, "What do you know?" ”

"You're looking for something...... suddenly the old man's eyes widened as he stared at me and my cousin, "reach over and I'll take a look!" ”

I stretched out my hand in confusion, and the old man grabbed my wrist tightly, and said, "Abandon the spirit seal!" It turns out that all this is true! ”

"What is the Abandoned Spirit Seal?" My cousin and I asked suspiciously.

The old man raised his head abruptly and shouted in a low voice, "Xu Lan...... Xu Lan! ”

Shouting as he walked out the door.

The little bell hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the old man: "Grandpa, it's so late, where are you going?" ”

"Xu Lan?" I muttered quietly, the old man's expression was so distracted when he called Xu Lan, and I remembered that he had said in the cemetery who was digging his grave, and suddenly a terrible thought rushed into my mind.

I turned my head to look at my cousin, he frowned, his expression was solemn, I patted him, and the two looked at each other silently.

The old man was pulled back by the little bell, and the little bell asked curiously, "Grandpa, do you have a lot on your mind?" ”

The old man came back to his senses, felt that he had a little gaffe just now, so he sat back on the sofa, coughed his throat and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for decades, and they are all gone, alas! ”

"You haven't told me what the Abandoned Spirit Seal is!" The little bell looked anxious and leaned in front of the old man.

The little bell can always resolve the embarrassing scene very naturally, so that everyone's heart is very comfortable, and the IQ of Luoyang No. 1 high escort student is indeed a grade higher than ours.

In front of the cute little bell, the old man also laughed, looked at me and my cousin, and said, "You two boys, you will suffer in the future!" ”

"Why ????"

The old man's expression became solemn again, he lit his pipe, and paused for half a minute before speaking:

"This abandonment of the spirit mark starts with Houji, the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty. Legend has it that the emperor's great-grandson, Emperor Yu, whose concubine was named Jiang Yan, trampled on the footprints of giants when he went out on an outing, gave birth to a fetus in his womb, and gave birth to a son after October, with a red left arm.

It was a fatherless wild seed, so it was called a demon. Jiang Yuan had no choice but to abandon the child on the glacier, suddenly a big bird flew down in the sky, wrapped the child with plump wings, Jiang Yuan was very surprised, thinking that this was God's will, so he took the child home and raised it, named 'abandonment'.

When he grew up, he was very intelligent, taught the people to farm, founded sacrifices, and was appreciated by Di Yao, and named Ji as his surname, and called Houji. The descendants of Houji moved to Yuyou and formed the Zhou tribe. ”

"We've read this history in books, so let's get to the point!" Seeing the old man speak slowly, I was already scratching my head in a hurry.

The old man still frowned, and said slowly: "In the early days of the Zhou tribe, there was a trend of 'killing the first son', which was to prevent the first child born when his wife married to be a wild seed. ”

"Huh? That's cruel, isn't it!! "When we heard what the old man said, we were all indignant.

"During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the concubine of King Zhuang Ji Tuo gave birth to a thin baby in August of pregnancy, and the palace spread the scandal that the princess was pregnant before marriage, and King Zhuang was furious when he heard about it, and pulled out his long sword and walked into the harem. The princess knew that the angry King Zhuang would not listen to her defense, so she knelt down and begged King Zhuang to give her a death, willing to exchange a life for a life, entrust the child to the farmer, and hide it in the market.

In fact, King Zhuang has always loved the princess in his heart, but he is fearful, and he is the king of a country, and he does not want future generations to kill each other because of the bloodline, so he stabbed the princess to death with a sword in tears. ”

"And then? What happened to the kid? "We were so fascinated by the old man's story that we forgot about the abandonment of the spirit seal.

"King Zhuang kept the agreement with the princess and sent his henchmen to secretly send the baby away, but after the old minister took the baby, he took a look, knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and shouted, 'No! Your Majesty, this child can't be sent away! This child is the reincarnation of King Ji, your blessing! ’

At this time, the baby woke up, stretched out his little hand and pulled the button of King Zhuang's clothes, revealing a red birthmark on his wrist.

After listening to the old minister's detailed words, King Zhuang was shocked, and buried the princess in Bishan with the treatment of the emperor, and set up the baby as the crown prince, and was named 'King Xu', showing the world. King Zhuang fell into a heart disease and died of illness after 15 years of reign, and was buried with the princess under the tomb of King Zhuang.

Soon after King Xi succeeded to the throne, rumors began to spread wildly, and seeing that the rebellion was a foregone conclusion, he was buried under the tomb of King Zhuang with a fake death, guarding the tomb of his parents until his old age. Of course, the idea of fake death is just a legend. ”

The old man took a deep puff of his cigarette, squinted his eyes and said, "The story is finished......"

"Then what is the Abandoned Spirit Seal?" I was speechless.

"It's a symbol of Houji's soul possession, right?" Little Bell said with a smile.

The old man smiled and said, "It's still a little girl's smart!" Of course, this is a superstitious saying of the ancients. As far as I can guess, the scientific explanation should be that the offspring of two special ancestries are combined to exhibit genetic traits. Legend has it that Hou Ji's left arm was red when he was born, indicating that his mother Jiang Yuan and the unknown giant should be the first generation of blood, after hundreds of thousands of years of reproduction, the genetic characteristics have become indistinct, and the offspring of the combination of these two people is only a small red birthmark on the wrist. ”

The old man yawned a few times, leaned back on the sofa, and after a while began to snore. A few of us shouted and didn't shout, and it was extremely embarrassing to sit there.

I kept thinking to myself that the old man knew so much about the origin of the Abandoned Spirit Seal, whether it was accurate or not, he must have spent a long time researching it.

Although the old man explained scientifically that the spirit seal was only a genetic trait, I could already feel a faint uneasiness in his surprised eyes when he first met us.

The next day, the little bell used her clumsy cooking skills to cook a few dishes, and the old man unceremoniously sat down with us to eat, and praised the little bell for being so good at a young age, and the little bell was also happy.

My cousin and I were speechless for a long time, watching the old man and the little bell talking and laughing, I really didn't know how to interject, we were not from the same world.

During this time, the old man asked, "Why are your parents not at home, where have they gone?" ”

My cousin and I looked at each other, didn't know what to say, and prevaricated, "Moved out." After finishing speaking, I felt very illogical.

The old man nodded, but didn't say anything, as if deliberately diverting the topic again, and asked the blind man: "You kid is not blind, why do they call you blind?" ”

We burst into laughter in an instant, and the blind man pursed his lips and said, "Don't listen to their screams, I have a name and a surname, Shi Hongliang!" ”

"Shijiagou people? I once had an old friend who was Shi Jiagou, alas, ......"The old man thought about it, and then said, "His name is Shi Aimin, and he is really good......

"Shi Aimin is my grandfather!" The blind man had an incredulous expression.

The old man was also surprised, and looked at the blind man again and again, and then took the blind man's hand tightly and said, "Young men, this is all fate! Fate! ”

My cousin and I sat across from each other, laughing and laughing, but I felt more and more that this old man had hidden many secrets.

After the meal, the old man called my cousin and me into the house and motioned for us to close the door.

I asked, confused, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The old man smiled and said softly, "Did your parents leave the house suddenly?" ”

My cousin and I were surprised, "How do you know?" ”

Without waiting for the old man to speak, I couldn't help but say again, "What is your identity?" What is the connection with our family? ”

The old man was happy, and without hesitating our doubts, he said to himself, "It's a good thing that your parents are away from home!" ”

"Why?" I felt more and more inexplicable.

The old man briefly told us about Boss Song and the four ghosts in Beibei, and said: "This Boss Song has long known that the Cold Heart Mirror is here with you, his background is very deep, if your parents hadn't left, it is estimated that he would have been coerced by him a long time ago." ”

We had a clue, and my cousin said indignantly, "Whatever kind of boss he is, dare to come here and give it a try!" ”

The old man comforted: "Child, you grew up in the mountains, you don't know the outside world, this society depends on the background, only one person is called a reckless man, and you need to use your brain to solve problems!" ”

The old man's words changed: "This Boss Song just made a move, and your parents left as if they knew it in advance, I think it's ......"

"What do you think?" We have always been confused about the departure of our parents.

"I think there's a master helping you in the dark, and judging by these signs, it's likely that he's been around or around you all along!"

"Ah?!!h
