Chapter Fifty-Nine: Destruction of Households
The true body of the old grandfather of the Seven Gates? I wondered for a moment, and then it dawned. The old grandfather of the Seven Gates of the River Sect said that he was just a human being, and he might be more outstanding than ordinary people, but he would still die, and the so-called real body must be the body of the old grandfather of the Seven Gates after his death.
The aunt of the Tang family continued to whisper, as soon as she said it, it was exactly as I imagined, those stone figures were actually just a layer of stone skin on the outside, and inside were the remains of the old grandfather's severed hands.
I understood a little, but when I looked at it, I suddenly felt strange in my heart, there are seven gates of the river, seven doors and seven ancestors, but there are only six stone statues left on the edge of the pit, what about the remaining one?
"Aunt Tang, when you came, did you only have six stone statues?"
"It's six." The aunt of the Tang family nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "The remaining one was not there for a long time." "
"Where did that go?"
"Big palm lamp, some things can't be said casually, saying them will make people think that I am chewing my tongue as a woman." The aunt of the Tang family thought for a long time before slowly saying to me: "There are seven old grandfathers, and the stone figures wrapped in their treasure bodies must be seven, but there is one that has been taken away. "
"Who got it?" I immediately asked, such a stone figure is at best a symbol, and may be important to the Qimen River Valley, but it is of little use for outsiders to move away.
"It's the sixth master." The aunt of the Tang family seemed hesitant when she spoke, maybe she was a little taboo: "It was the sixth master who took it away." "
"My grandfather?" I was stunned for a moment, the sixth master that the aunt of the Tang family said was undoubtedly Chen Liujin, who was the grandfather.
"Big Palm Lamp, these words are said now, and I don't know if it's too late, we don't mention it when we are still in charge, if it weren't for you asking, I wouldn't be able to say it." The aunt of the Tang family said: "It was not for nothing that the sixth master moved to Xiaopanhe back then. "
The old grandfather of the Seven Gates died because of the salvage of the lotus wood statue, and he was born because of the lotus wood statue, and the old man with the long beard took them away and passed on a skill, and at the same time may have also explained the responsibility of the Seven Gates of the River, which is a first-class event. When my grandfather was in his generation, it was already expected that these things would not come to fruition for thirty or fifty years, and they needed to be passed on from generation to generation. The ancestor of the Seven Gates didn't have to say, but no one could guarantee that there would be any changes in the children and grandchildren of the future generations, or betray the Seven Gates, or break away from the Seven Gates, so the Seven Gates Ancestors were guarding next to the lotus wood statue, and at the same time keeping their promises.
"The old grandfather of the Seven Gates made a poisonous oath back then." The aunt of the Tang family said: "Those who rebel against the Seven Gates, the family will be destroyed, and the chickens and dogs will not be left." "
I instantly remembered the seven stereotypes that my grandfather had inadvertently mentioned, and there were many large and small rules in the seven doors, like the three knives and six holes that the old ghost used to have, but in fact, it was not the heaviest punishment. The first rule of the Seven Ancestral Sects is that those who rebel against the Seven Gates will be wiped out. I always thought that this was an alarmist or exaggerated rule, but when I heard it today, I realized that those were actually poisonous oaths made by the old grandfathers.
"Big palm lamp, we used to gossip with me, he said, one family, one person, one ding, the number of lives is actually destined, and the only thing that can affect the number of lives is luck." The aunt of the Tang family sighed and said: "This thing is indeed a bit evil, no one can believe it, big palm lamp, you know no, the Song family in Baoliu Village is out of business." "
"What!?" I was taken aback, although something happened to Baoliu Village at that time, but as soon as the old knife appeared, the situation was reversed, I pursued the eight-character eyebrows, and then the old knife rushed over to meet with grandpa, although I did not witness what happened to the old knife and the ghost old woman of the paper man Zhang family in the end, but since the old knife they can rush over, it means that the ghost old woman must have been cleaned up, at least to drive away. However, Song Baiyi, how could something happen to them? You know, it's not a family of three, it's a village.
"Baoliu Village is not dead, but the descendants of the Song family are dead." The aunt of the Tang family looked at me with her mouth open and looked incredulous, and quickly explained: "This incident just happened, but it has already spread, I won't talk nonsense, after the big palm lamp goes out, I will ask people nearby casually, I must have heard of it." "
The aunt of the Tang family is more well-informed than me, and the matter in Baoliu Village is very suspenseful, and it can't be cleaned up as soon as it happens. I listened to what the aunt of the Tang family said, and I thought in my heart that what happened to them must have happened the day after the old knife cleaned up the ghost old woman. When the accident happened, it was very miserable, Song Baiyi, together with his sons, daughters, grandchildren, and grandchildren, a family of more than a dozen people, were all on the edge of the elm forest at the entrance of the village, one person held an elm tree and did not move, and when he came over to see, they all lost their breath, were disemboweled, and their internal organs and intestines flowed to the ground. Those side branches in Baoliu Village did not dare to make a noise, and hurriedly packed up the people and set up a mourning hall in the village, and they were to be buried after the first seven days.
I don't doubt that the aunt of the Tang family is already being targeted, and the paper man or others may secretly do it. I'm not shocked that the Song family is dead, but I'm suspicious, Song Baiyi's family is out of business, is it really related to the ancestral rules of the Seven Gates and the poisonous oath made by the old grandfathers back then? Although the seven gates were scattered into a plate of sand, only the Song family openly washed their hands and exited the seven gates to become corpse collectors.
Rebel against the seven gates, and the family will be wiped out!
Thinking of this ancestral rule, which is true or false, and then thinking of the death of Song Baiyi's family, I feel sweaty on my head.
"Big Palm, these things can't be unbelieved." The aunt of the Tang family shook her head, looked at me, and said: "Our head of the family doesn't want to cause trouble, he knows everything, knows this place, but he doesn't dare to come to fetch lotus wood, knows some things, and doesn't dare to talk nonsense." The treasure body of the ancestor of the Chen family was taken away by the sixth master. If it weren't for the fact that this place was near the Xiaopan River, the sixth master would not have moved here back then. "
Why did Grandpa move Grandpa's treasure? I thought about it, I thought about it, there was only one possibility. Moved away the treasure body of the old grandfather guarding the lotus wooden statue, just to find a way to get rid of the poisonous oath made by the old grandfather back then. If you think so, then Grandpa's purpose is very obvious, he wants to quit the Seven Gates!
No wonder! No wonder! I patted my head, and many things in the past were immediately answered, my grandfather would take me to patrol the river every day, and he would also tell some stories about the past of the river, but the most important thing, he didn't say a word to me, and he didn't teach me the ability to teach. If it weren't for the old ghost who temporarily dragged Zhenhe away on the river, he probably would still keep the secret of the severed hand, and he wouldn't tell me until he died.
He is already preparing to quit the Seven Gates, if the old ghost doesn't take him to Zhenhe, then by the generation below me, he may know less about the affairs of the river, at most two or three generations, he will completely retreat into an ordinary river beach person.
Why did he do it? Could it be that his father's death also made him disheartened and made him want to get out from now on? But after my father died, my grandfather still patrolled the river for 30 years, and it didn't change a day.
It's impossible for me to know what grandpa really thinks, only he knows best in his heart. However, at this moment, for the first time, I felt that he really seemed to be an unfathomable person, and there were as many secrets in him as there were secrets of the Seven Gates of the River, and even the old ghost couldn't guess it.
"That's the way it is, I'm not lying." The aunt of the Tang family looked at me and said, "I was confused for a while, and I was greedy, and if I really came to the bottom in the future, we will definitely be scolded." "
"Auntie, forget it, don't go out and talk about it, I won't say it, even if Nagato comes back in the future, I will hide it for you." I think about it, the aunt of the Tang family is still a good person, at least there is a distinction between the elder and the young in my heart, the old ghost is not there, the grandfather is not there, I can't offend all the others.
"Thank you, thank you." The aunt of the Tang family may be the most taboo in her heart is that I tell the old ghost about it, and the old ghost is a person with old-fashioned concepts, and he will inevitably find trouble with the Tang family. As soon as I heard that I was willing to help her keep the secret, I was very grateful at the time, and I thanked her vigorously.
"Auntie, do me a favor." I turned my head to look at Xiao Jiuhong, and whispered: "This is the person who is the sect, we were brought here by twisting in the water, she is the daughter of the red lady, she is very stubborn, I want to ask her something." "
"Understood." The aunt of the Tang family knew what I was going to do as soon as she heard it, and said, "Come really, or bluff her?" "
"Forget it." I thought about it and shook my head gently, I hate the people who sect the sect, that is the culprit who killed my father, but there is a debtor who is wronged, when it happened, Xiao Jiuhong may not have been born yet, and it has nothing to do with her: "She said what she should say, forget it." "
"Done." The aunt of the Tang family nodded, took her flashlight, and the two of them turned around and walked towards Xiao Jiuhong.
Xiao Jiuhong squatted at the base of the wall alone, looking very bored, and when she saw me and the Tang family aunt slowly coming over, she immediately noticed that something was wrong, looked at me and then at the Tang family's aunt, and said, "You guys, what do you want to do?" "
"Get up!" The aunt of the Tang family was polite to me, it was because of my identity, but she was not so kind to Xiao Jiuhong, and scolded sharply: "Ask you something, what do you say, tell a lie, I will tear your mouth apart!" "
"Ouch! The two of you are wearing a pair of pants now, but you have a long ability, aren't you, and your aunt and grandmother are scared? Xiao Jiuhong jumped up at once, but the aunt of the Tang family and I had no difficulty in dealing with her, so we stretched out our hands left and right, and pressed her in place.
"I'll just ask you a few words, and honestly, nothing."
"Don't say it!" Xiao Jiuhong couldn't move when she was pressed, but the stubbornness in her bones was aroused.
"Tell you what this place is!" I pointed to the front and said, "This is the place where the Zhenhe Yin soldiers come in and out!" There are a lot of yin soldiers in front of you, if you don't say it, I won't touch a single hair of you, so I'll tie you up and throw you forward! "
"You dare" Xiao Jiuhong wilted when she heard these things, although she was still hard-mouthed, her confidence was obviously insufficient.
"Tie her up!" I didn't talk nonsense with her, and directly beckoned the aunt of the Tang family to tie Xiao Jiuhong up firmly: "Throw it over there." "
The aunt of the Tang family and I walked forward with Xiao Jiuhong, the waterhole in front of me was silent, and then it was pitch black, Xiao Jiuhong began to tremble, and walked with her head for a while, and when she was pushed to the edge of the waterhole, she finally couldn't hold it anymore.
"Isn't that interesting?" Xiao Jiuhong refused to take another step, leaned back, and shouted, "What do you want to ask!" "
