King Zhuang's Curse Chapter 14 The Grave Keeper
I sat in front of the window and gazed at the large mound of King Zhuang in the distance, imagining how magnificent the mausoleum should have been, after thousands of years of wind and rain, the devastation of war, and the excavation of tomb robbers, it still stands tall, just like the majesty of King Zhuang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Under it, how many unknown secrets are hidden. I fell into my own fantasies again.
"Brother, what do you want?"
"Look at that big mound, when I was a child, I used to go up with your second brother to play, and my friends thought it was a hill, and they were still playing a game of attacking the mountain on it!" I pulled the small bell and pointed to the Zhuangwang Tomb in the distance outside the window.
"Haha, didn't you fall into it?"
"Why not, there is a thief hole on the top of the mound, I don't know which layman dug it, it is clear that there is no way back, and there is no way out!"
"Huh? Did you really fall into it? Little Bell had a frightened expression.
"Haha, I didn't go in, but almost, your second brother said that it was a cave, and he had to go in to explore, and I forcibly pulled it back, I was a little scared when I thought about it, I was only six or seven years old at the time!"
"You guys had so much fun when you were kids!"
After the little bell finished speaking, a trace of loss flashed on his face, and I caught it. Her childhood must not have been beautiful, and the tragedy of fate doomed her childhood to have no fairy tales, or just a little match girl in a fairy tale, maybe she cried too much, and when she grew up, there was only a smile left on her face.
I put my hand on her shoulder, and she laughed again, still as sweet.
"Do you want to play, then brother will take you to Zhuang Wang's tomb for a walk?"
"Hee-hee...... Still can't, it's too scary......"
I was just joking, but I was suddenly a little excited in my heart, thinking of what the old man said, but there was some inexplicable yearning in my timid heart.
There was a bang at the door, and my cousin and the blind man hurried in, still wearing construction clothes stained with mud and sand.
"What's the matter?" I asked, puzzled.
The cousin took a breath and hurriedly said, "That mute girl...... That girl...... She came to the construction site to find us! ”
I looked at the blind man, he had a panicked expression, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing to find you, it means that people know how to repay you, look at your expressions, I haven't seen a woman!" ”
"She's coming for you......" said the blind man timidly.
"What?" I stood up suddenly, "What are you kidding, I was still studying in Xi'an when you met him, how could she recognize me?" ”
"She said she wanted to tell us both a secret about the Abandoned Spirit Seal, and asked me to come back and call you." The cousin's tone calmed down.
"She's not dumb, is she? There have been so many strange things lately, it's really a wave after wave! ”
I have experienced so many changes since I was a child, and I have no sense of this sudden thing.
"Bell, watch Menha at home, come back and bring you lunch."
After instructing the little bell, I went to the construction site with my cousin and the blind man, and I did not think at the time why the girl did not come to my house with my cousin.
There are not many cars on National Highway 310, under the bright sun, the asphalt exudes a bad smell, and the three of them ride a motorcycle and arrive at the construction site in a few minutes.
On the edge of the construction site, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, wearing a simple hand-woven skirt, smiled and waved at us.
"Brother Chen Tu, I'm glad to be there!"
As soon as I got out of the car, before my feet could stand firmly, the girl opened her mouth, and her voice was very sweet.
"Fortunately, I will be happy! Such a beautiful girl, I don't know which master of the Tao actually knew the secret of this abandoned spirit seal and came to teach her! "As soon as I saw a pretty girl, I used to make fun of her.
"Don't dare to be, I'm just passing on the word for others, but thank you for the compliment!" The girl has a temperament that does not match her age.
We found a big tree and sat around it in the shade, and the girl was dressed simply, and when she sat down, she was a little unclothed, so that we were all red-faced and embarrassed to speak.
I had gotten used to hearing the old man's strange legends, and I thought that this girl might have been sent by the one who was secretly helping us, so I went straight to the point and said, "I wonder what other secrets there are in this abandoned spirit seal?" ”
I thought that the girl would be like the old man, first give some wild history, then tell a story, and finally say that this is just a legend, but I didn't expect the girl to be more straight to the point, and said: "The abandonment of the spirit mark is a curse, and the cursed person needs to guard the tomb of King Zhuang until the emergence of the next generation of successors." ”
I suddenly laughed, thinking that the girl was deliberately joking, so I took her and said, "What if the next generation never shows up?" ”
"Defend the grave to the end of your life!" The girl said word for word.
"Haha, what if I don't go?" My cousin couldn't be happier.
"You'll go." The girl suddenly became serious, "This is King Zhuang's curse!" ”
The atmosphere froze all at once, and we couldn't laugh anymore when we saw the girl's serious expression, although we still thought she was joking.
The blind man muttered, "It can't be true, right?" ”
The cousin's expression was calm, he looked at the girl and said, "Can you tell me the reason?" ”
"You've got the Chilling Mirror now, it's what belongs to the two of you. There is no such thing as a coincidence, it can appear around you, this is fate. ”
"You even know the Chilling Heart Mirror? Did you put it in front of our door? What about my grandmother's body? The cousin asked repeatedly, obviously angry.
"Yes!" A strange smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth, "But your grandmother was killed by Shangguan Hai." ”
"Who? Shangguan Hai?! ”
When we heard the name, we were furious. After listening to the old man say that Shangguan Hai took a photo of the old courtyard, we privately thought that our grandmother's death might be related to Shangguan Hai.
"Don't worry, listen to me. It's a pity that Shangguan Hai didn't beat your grandmother after all, and your grandmother had already noticed that someone was secretly investigating the Cold Heart Mirror. When you picked up the bronze mirror ten years ago, it was bound to cause a disaster. But you have spent ten years in peace, do you know why? ”
"Why?" We were even more curious about why this girl knew so much.
"Because your grandmother exchanged her remaining ten years of life for your peaceful ten years!"
The girl's words were like a heavy fist, smashing into the fading memory in our hearts, instantly arousing thousands of thoughts, and an unbearable feeling of pain poured into our chests. My grandmother's death cast a heavy shadow over my childhood, she was an eternal pain in my heart, and when I learned to fade away, she was brought up again, and it subverted the memory.
"Your grandmother was not buried in that tomb after she died, and what was buried that day was only an empty coffin, otherwise the bronze mirror would have been taken away by Shangguanhai and his group, it seems that your father has hidden a lot of things from you. The empty coffin pasted the Spring Festival couplets, of course, for the sake of celebration, to celebrate Shangguanhai's hard work and finally pounced on it. ”
"Can you be clear?" The girl's story was so real that I became more and more convinced.
"To be precise, Shangguan Hai's death of your grandmother was just an inducement, it was his covetousness for the Cold Heart Mirror, which made your grandmother determined to sacrifice herself to protect the bronze mirror, and more importantly, to protect the two of you. Because the bronze mirror is in the world, it is to herald the end of the previous generation of tomb keepers and the succession of the new generation of tomb keepers, once the bronze mirror falls into the hands of others, the secret of King Zhuang will be passed on to the world, the consequences are unimaginable, and the tomb keeper will also die. Your grandmother used her life to protect the bronze mirror and also exchanged ten years of freedom for you. Now that the bronze mirror has reappeared, your time has come. ”
When the girl finished speaking, she giggled again, but I could no longer feel the charming smile that I had when I first met her, but felt a little weird, and even goosebumps.
What she said later was even more outrageous than what the old man said, and if it weren't for her deep understanding of our family's affairs, I would have scolded her for schizophrenia on the spot, and she was talking crazy here.
After the girl left, the three of us went to the sink at the construction site and washed our faces, which instantly refreshed a lot. I wiped the water on my face and asked my cousin, "Can you believe what the girl said?" ”
My cousin smiled and said, "Haha, she can also scare people like you who love fantasy, I think she is here to find the Cold Heart Mirror like Boss Song, or she was sent by Boss Song to test us!" ”
"Oh......" I nodded, thinking that what my cousin said was reasonable.
At this time, Xiao Tang, a worker, came over and said while washing his face: "You three big men, what is there to talk about, talk under the tree for so long!" ”
We were all quiet all of a sudden, and Xiao Tang was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”
Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine: "Don ...... Don't you see another girl? ”
"Haha, what kind of daughter-in-law dream are you, just our broken construction site, which girl will come here!" Xiao Tang burst out laughing, and the water in the pool was blown up by him.
I looked at my cousin, his brow was tightly knit, and he always had this solemn expression whenever he had something on his mind. The blind man shouted at Xiao Tang: "Go go, go back to work!" ”
The blind man was sweating again on his forehead, and he had just washed his face, and it was certainly not hot.
Later, when asked about Xiao Tang, he said that he was far away and didn't see it clearly, but he was just talking casually. But at the time, we all believed it.
Or, Don Jr. really can't see the girl.
On the way home, the three of them were silent, but they all knew what each other was thinking, because they had been together for a long time, so they didn't need too many words.
When I got home, I remembered that I had forgotten to buy lunch for Little Bell, and I was embarrassed to go into the back room, only to see two bowls of hot noodles on the table.
"Brother, where's my food?" The little bell stretched out her hand and smiled.
"I'm so hungry, I've eaten on the way......" I scratched my head in embarrassment.
"Then you're full, can you still eat some?" The little bell pointed to the surface on the table.
"Eat your fill, you eat!"
"Don't you really want to eat it?"
"Let's eat some......"
I picked up the bowl and devoured it, laughing as I ate it, and then burst into tears. I can't tell why, maybe it's because of Little Bell's understanding, maybe it's the girl's words that make me believe it, thinking that I'll never see Little Bell again.
I hurriedly lowered my head to wipe it, but my arm still knocked off the chopsticks.
The little bell picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Yo, I went out to see a girl, so I ...... Broken out of love? ”
I was amused by the little bell again, so I raised my head and teased, "Brother only likes you!" ”
"The little girl is so honored!"
In the laughter, a thought slowly appeared in my heart, rather than being affected by others, it is better to strike first, this Zhuangwang Mausoleum is a must enter.
