Chapter 164: The Empty Tomb
"If there are their descendants in this village, according to the relevance that Lu Xin said, wouldn't it prove that what we are looking for should be around here!" I couldn't help but speak. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Jiang Li's face sank, and he looked at the tombs around him and said to me after a while, "Although there are spirit beads in the former residence of Hongjun Ancestor, I guess that there should also be spirit beads in this village, and it is extremely likely that they are Li Honghong's. ”
My heart sank, wouldn't it be that I had no place to find my iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. As soon as I thought about it, I suddenly felt like I wanted to explore the village.
Jiang Li squatted down and looked at the tombstone carefully, then suddenly raised his head to look at Ah Bai and said, "In this way, you can do a favor and find the people under the tombstone genealogy, and we will discuss with them about opening the tomb." ”
Ah Bai was stunned, and looked at Jiang Li with an incredulous expression, "Ha...... Open grave? I'm sure I really heard me right. ”
I immediately said to Ah Bai, "Since my master said that the tomb will be opened, there must be a reason, haven't you seen the things of the past few days, believe my master, it must be right." ”
Ah Bai looked at me with an embarrassed face and said, "It's not that I believe in you, but the matter of opening someone's ancestral grave, I'm afraid it's ...... Offend people! Who will allow the ancestral grave to be touched, the ancestral grave is to protect the descendants of these descendants, and if the ancestral grave is moved, it will affect the righteousness of the family, which is an unfortunate thing, and ordinary people will not agree. ”
As soon as I heard it, what Ah Bai said was indeed a reason, where would anyone be willing to let strangers come to open their ancestral graves, if this matter rested on me, I would not want to.
What's more, we are still a group of outsiders, and what we say may not be convincing, so I can't help but be a little worried when I think of this.
Jiang Li naturally understood the truth of this, and hurriedly said, "There is no way to do this." You have to get them to agree, otherwise you will never understand what is going on. ”
After hearing this, Ah Bai nodded, and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go and call them over now, and then you can say it to your face." ”
"Okay." I say.
As soon as the words fell, Ah Bai walked towards the village, and after about an hour, he finally came over with a few people, an old couple and a middle-aged man, it should be a family.
Ah Bai brought them to us, panting and said, "Just talk about them, you can communicate with them if you have anything." ”
The middle-aged man had a hint of viciousness between his eyebrows, and the old couple's face was quite kind, and it didn't seem to be someone who made people feel unapproachable.
The middle-aged man frowned, looked at us with a serious face, and said, "Who are you, and what are you bringing us here for?" "His accent is heavier, but he can probably hear what he says, because the regions are relatively close to each other, as long as he doesn't speak the authentic local dialect. They can still understand what is being said.
Jiang Li looked at them calmly and said, "This is your family's ancestral tomb, right?" ”
The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Li with an unhappy expression, "If you have something to say, what do you want to do!" ”
The old couple stood trembling behind the man, as if they were a little afraid of us, but it was normal. There are so many of us here, and the momentum it looks like is a little scary.
Jiang Li continued, "We are Taoist priests, this is not Li Honghong's tomb, but his clothed tomb, but there should be something in this clothed tomb that hinders your family's feng shui luck, it is recommended to open the tomb to see what is affecting it." ”
I can't help but feel happy in my heart, this Jiang Li lied, and he was really decent.
The old man immediately waved his hand and frowned, and said to Jiang Li with an extremely opposed look. "I can't do it! I can't help it! Moved the grave of the ancestors at will, that is to be punished, we are all half-buried people in the loess, it doesn't matter, but we can't let the younger generations suffer! ”
Conventional wisdom, no matter where it is. Basically, it is not allowed to move the ancestral grave at will, which is a deep-rooted idea for thousands of years.
I immediately said, "If you can't find out what is in the grave now, I'm afraid it will really affect the safety of your descendants. ”
As soon as he said this, the faces of this family were a little concerned, and they couldn't help but ask Jiang Li how he found out that there was a problem with this ancestral tomb.
Jiang Li looked at them without changing his face and said, "There is something unusual about the ancestral tomb, just look at the situation around it, you can know that there is no grass at the head of this tomb, and there is a smell of black water all around. But the grave is clean, and there are too many problems. ”
As soon as these words were said, the two old men were very concerned, and hurriedly asked, "Is there only one way to open the grave?" But what if there is retribution? ”
Jiang Li continued to say to them in a calm voice, "After all, this is a well-dressed mound, and it won't make a difference. ”
The two old men looked at each other for a moment, as if they had an intention to say these words to Jiang Li, but the middle-aged man said to Jiang Li in a not very polite tone, "How do we know, whether you are really kind enough to help us, there is everything coming and going in this village." We have been deceived many times, so why should we believe you? “
Jiang Li glanced at the man, and said without changing his emotions at all, "An empty tomb, what is worth deceiving?" What he said made the man speechless for a moment, not knowing how to reply to Jiang Li.
I looked at Jiang Li like this. I just think it's really handsome, although I am also a man, but I envy Jiang Li's calm and calm appearance in the face of danger.
And it's always powerless to refute.
At this moment, the family turned their backs to us and discussed for a while, then turned to us and nodded, agreeing to open the grave.
Jiang Li didn't say a word. A look looked at me, I naturally understood that Jiang Li was going to help, and hurriedly walked towards Jiang Li's side, opening a grave is naturally not an easy thing, it takes a person with a lot of strength to do it, and the people with a lot of strength here are Wei I and Jiang Li, in fact, Jiang Li himself has a lot of strength, but he just looks at the ordinary people here, and he still doesn't want to expose his strength too deliberately, so let me cover it up for him.
But soon Jiang Li and I opened the grave, and when it was opened, there was a mixture of earth and grass. Dust was scattered all around.
Jiang Li and I looked inside, there was a coffin with rules inside, and the strange thing was that the coffin board had been moved, and this kind of problem would not occur when the coffin was usually bound, and this problem generally exists. Either something inside removed the coffin, or an external force opened the coffin.
This is obviously the coffin has been passive, as for the reason has not been figured out for the time being, Jiang Li and I looked at each other, and seemed to have a tacit agreement that something must be wrong with this coffin.
Jiang Li immediately pushed the coffin open. The sound of the heavy coffin board rubbing against it made a dull sound, and the moment I opened the coffin, it was exactly as I guessed, there was nothing in it, and there were no clothes.
The old couple who saw this scene were also extremely shocked, "This ...... Why are the clothes of the ancestors gone? ”
Jiang Li's face was very gloomy, "When we opened the grave just now, we found traces of the coffin moving again, you see, there are traces of friction on the side of the coffin. ”
The old couple glanced at the position Jiang Li pointed to, looked at Jiang Li in surprise and said, "This ...... Who is so bold as to dare to touch the clothes and mounds of our ancestors! Also stealing clothes. ”
The old man was obviously very angry when he saw the situation, Jiang Li and I also fell into a deep thought, if there were spirit beads in the mound of clothes, then someone must have taken the clothes and spirit beads.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he scolded his father and mother even more angrily, "My day! What is that dog's eyes, who dare to move around on our ancestral grave, let me know, I have to catch it and kill it! ”
Jiang Li looked at them with a serious face and said, "I'll help you figure this out, but I need you to tell me about the situation." Who touched your family's ancestral grave before? ”
The two old men thought carefully for a while, and after a long time, the old woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately said to us, "Ten years ago, there was a person who came to clean the tomb. When I came here, everyone knew that they had been in the tomb area for several days, but because it was cleaning, we didn't care. ”
"Specializing in cleaning tombs? This is the first time I've heard of them, are they locals? I couldn't help but ask.
The old woman thought about it for a while and then told me, "I don't listen to the accent from the locals, nor from our village, I've never seen it." ”
"What are you wearing?" Tu Ling also asked.
The old woman thought for a long time before she spoke, "It's been a long time, and I can't remember it clearly, but I remember what the name of the person who took the lead was." ”
Lu Xin's eyes suddenly converged, "Isn't it the director of the prison?" ”
When the old man heard this, he quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, it's this weird name, I'm particularly impressed." ”
Superintendent of Prisons...... I really can't figure out how this traitor's name would appear here. Lu Xin's face was even worse, after all, this guy was a victim of their brothers and sisters who died in vain, so Lu Xin has always been very angry, and now that he heard the name of the prison director, he was naturally angry.
At this time, I also understand that if this thing was done by the director of the prison, then it has nothing to do with the people of the demon army, and the director of the prison is helping the people of the demon army to do things, and it is useless to find the director of the prison now, unless it is to find the people of the demon army.
