In the darkness, the little old man still sighed lightly: "I don't know when the rule has been passed down, the father does not steal the son, and the son does not steal the father." What is tomb robbing for? Not for the money? After all, tomb robbery is illegal, and in ancient times, if caught, you would be sentenced heavily, and it was the most normal thing to kill your head. Therefore, the tomb robbers will definitely not bring their sons out to do it. The first is that the reputation of tomb robbery is not good, and I don't want to affect my descendants, and the second is that if something happens, I can still keep my descendants and leave incense. ”

Conversely, the son would never invite his father to join in the tomb robbery. Therefore, even if it is a partnership to rob the tomb, it can only be a cooperation between trusted relatives and friends, and there will be no situation where the father and son rob the tomb together at the same time. ”

Qian Mo pretended to smile and said, "Old man, I understand now, you continue to tell that story." ”

The little old man looked a little satisfied, "Hmm", and continued: "It is said that after the old man went up the mountain alone, he skillfully dug a tomb road and entered the tomb. He received a lot of gold and silver treasures from the tomb, and to his pride, he also received an egg-sized pearl of the night, which was a priceless treasure. If a person gets such a night pearl and puts it in his mouth after death, he can keep the body from decomposing. ”

The old man sighed and said: "It's a pity that the old man who robbed the tomb, after getting that wealth, did not cherish it, but exchanged it for money to go in and out of the casino all day long, and finally lost everything, and his family was poor." ”

"Late one night, an uninvited guest arrived, and he was the owner of the underground bank where the old man robbed the tomb and exchanged his jewels for money. The man inquired in many ways, and finally learned that this old man was a master of tomb robbers, and specially visited the door, hoping to obtain rare treasures. ”

It was also the old man who was destined to have this fate, and after drinking high, he boasted about the night pearl he had gotten. The owner of the money bank was so excited that he wanted to pay a high price for it. But although the old man who robbed the tomb drank a lot, he was very sober in his heart, he didn't agree, and he even refused to take out the pearl of the night to show the boss a look. ”

"Not long ago, the old man who robbed the tomb mysteriously disappeared and was nowhere to be found. In fact, it was not that he was missing, but that the old man killed his wife in a drunken rage over trivial matters. When he woke up, the old man was so frightened that he secretly hid his wife's body in the cellar of his house."

What I didn't expect was that the owner of the money bank, who had always coveted his night pearl, often sneaked into the old man's house in a vain attempt to secretly get the rare night pearl. Unexpectedly, he didn't discover the secret of the pearl that night, but unexpectedly saw the process of the old man mistakenly killing his wife and hiding the corpse in the cellar. ”

A few days later, the owner of the money village came to visit with a swagger, first bringing good wine and food and drinking with the old man, and when the two were about the same, the owner of the money bank suddenly asked to buy the night pearl again. How could the old man agree, he had already made up his mind that he would rather live a hard life for the rest of his life, but also leave this pearl of the night, so that he could keep the corpse in his mouth when he died and keep the corpse from decomposing for the next life. ”

The owner of the money bank immediately turned his face and told him that he had personally blocked the old man from killing his wife and hiding the body as a threat. The old man panicked and had no choice but to agree to give the night pearl to the owner of the money bank in exchange for his secrecy. ”

The old man led the owner of the money house into the cellar and took out the pearl of the night. Just when the owner of the money village was playing with joy, the old man quietly picked up the Luoyang shovel that was placed in the cellar and beat the money owner to death from behind at once. ”

Qian Mo exclaimed "ah", and this strange and terrifying scene seemed to be reproduced vividly in front of his eyes.

The little old man glanced at Qian Mo and continued: "That old man thought that this matter was over and there would be no more trouble. But what he never expected was that the abandoned baby he picked up from the side of the road and had grown up would also start the tomb robbery without his knowledge, and of course, his son also chose to go it alone. ”

"After the old man killed the owner of the bank, perhaps it was providence, the owner of the bank actually dropped a small diary at the door of the cellar before entering the cellar. This made his adopted son, who happened to return late that day, inadvertently pick it up, and then something went wrong. ”

Qian Mo interjected: "Old man, is it that the diary that the adopted son picked up records that the boss of Qian Zhuang is tracking you?" ”

The little old man laughed dryly: "You are really smart, yes, it really is." After the adopted son got the notebook, he realized that his family was so poor, but he had a priceless rare pearl of the night. ”

The boy became greedy and forced his father to give him the pearl of the night. Of course, his father did not comply, and the two quarreled. Unexpectedly, the boy actually told the diary that his father had mistakenly killed his mother and hid the body, and used this as a threat. ”

The old man was anxious, afraid, and hateful, and in a blink of an eye, he decided to get rid of this adopted son to prevent future troubles. He pretended to agree to his adopted son and told him that he had hidden the Night Pearl in the cellar. ”

The two of them walked to the cellar one after the other, and while the old man was thinking about how to get rid of his strong adopted son, he did not expect his adopted son to strike first. As he approached the cellar, the boy reached out and shoved hard, and the old man staggered a few steps, and hit his head on the outdoor scaffolding, and one eye nailed through the warped stake on the spot, and cut half of his ear. ”

Qian Mo exclaimed, but the old man ignored him and continued: "At that time, the old man who robbed the tomb fainted in pain. What is hateful is that the adopted son is not only poisonous, but also has a bad heart. He stripped his unconscious old father naked and threw him outside the cellar. ”

"Poor thing, on such a cold day, the unconscious old man was frozen to death. And his adopted son, after going into the cellar alone, searched all the places, but could not find the pearl of the night. ”

Seeing that it was almost dawn, the adopted son could not help but be frightened when he saw his old father lying outside the cellar. He hurriedly put on his old father's clothes, and then after dawn, he told the people in the village not far from his house that he suddenly found that his father was missing after returning late. After searching, I found out that my father may have been relieved in the middle of the night, hit a wooden stake on the shanty, and unfortunately blinded his eyes and cut his ears. Perhaps he passed out because of the pain, and he was not at home at the time, so he froze to death. ”

"Because his family is a single family and rarely interacts with people, the villagers saw that such an accident happened to his family, but they came to help very enthusiastically, built a funeral shed for his father, and laid the mortuary in the main house."

When the little old man said this, his mood suddenly became low, and he sighed and said, "It's a pity, this old man died too unjustly." In the mountains, if a person dies unexpectedly, as long as it is not an obvious knife wound and the body is black after being drugged, few people call the police, so the old man's body has been parked in his house. ”

"His adopted son is also bold, and he has been robbing tombs for several years, although he has not gained much, but he has developed a good skill and a courage that no one can be afraid of. Later, several outsiders came, and among them was a Taoist priest, who saw the body of the old man who was parked, and saw something strange in it, so he called the police. ”

"It's just that after the police came, they didn't find anything suspicious, so they wouldn't believe what the Taoist priest said. After being investigated at the police station, the adopted son also returned home safely. hated that he was obsessed with money, and he had been thinking about the whereabouts of the night pearl, but he didn't have the heart to bury his old father first, and he had been lying in his own house. ”

Qian Mo asked strangely, "Isn't this night pearl in the cellar?" How could it be impossible to find such a large cellar all the time? ”

The little old man smiled and said a little proudly: "You also underestimate the old man who robbed the tomb, since he specializes in stealing money from other people's tombs, he is also afraid that others will steal him." Therefore, he made a mechanism in the cellar of his house, with two cellars, one bright and one dark. The pearl of the night, along with the bodies of his wife and the owner of the underground bank, were hidden in the dark room. This secret is unknown even to his adopted son. ”

Qian Mo was thrilled when he heard this, sighed, and couldn't help asking, "Old man, when did this happen?" ”

The old man said lightly: "A week ago, today is the seventh day after the death of the old man who robbed the tomb, and it is the night of his first seven souls. ”

Qian Mo suddenly felt a sense of fear, and his feet suddenly felt a cold air rising from the soles of his feet. He looked at it and asked cautiously, "Old man, is this story true?" How do you say it so vividly? ”

The little old man ignored his words, raised his hand and pointed, "Son, the one with the lights in front is my house." After walking for so long, you are tired, so go to your father's house to rest for a while. ”
