Lantern Xiao listened to my words and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Awesome!" Then why don't you just write 'What happened to my dead father?', I've seen a lot of books and TV dramas show it like this. ”

I sneered very disdainfully, "That's all the ignorant practice of bad authors or bad directors, if you write about the deceased father, it is a great disrespect for the deceased." In China's thousands of years of tradition, there are names for the living and for the dead, and for the dead, there are also names for the dead. ”

I pointed to the tombstone and said: "Since the tombstone was erected by my father and second uncle, and my grandfather's name is Zhuo Yunshan, according to the traditional concept, a son cannot call his parents by name, so this inscription reads: Zhuo Gong is a cloud mountain." And Fujun is an honorific title for the deceased in ancient times, and the rest of the words are probably auspicious words, similar to traveling to the west with a crane and the like. ”

Lantern Xiao listened to my words, and looked at the tombstones in front of the other graves, the content of which was roughly the same as the format I said, Lantern Xiao nodded, raised his hand and applauded gently, "It's really like what you said, admire and admire!" Your Zhuo family is really cultured! ”

"Hey," I shook my head and said, "Actually, this has nothing to do with whether there is culture or not, if this was placed in ancient times, it should have been common sense that everyone should know, but now people have forgotten some traditional etiquette." ”

Lantern Xiao turned his head and suddenly pointed to a low grave at the front of this cemetery and said, "Zhuo Ran, whose grave is that, the one ranked first!" ”

I took one look at it and said, "That's the ancestor of our clan surnamed Zhuo, who should be the one who came here a hundred years ago." So his grave is at the front, but we, the descendants of later generations, only remember to cultivate the grave of our ancestors, but ignore the original ancestor, which is probably forgotten! "I looked at the little mound covered with weeds, the head of which was almost level with the ground, hidden in the grass, almost impossible to see if I didn't look closely.

Lantern Xiao's eyes lit up, "This is the one who chose the site to build your family's ancestral home?" ”

I nodded, and Lantern Xiao continued: "In other words, he should be the first to discover the ancient tomb!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen that location as a homestead! ”

I nodded again, "That's right, that's how it should be!" ”

Lan Xiao thought for a while, and then said slowly: "In this way, as the predecessor of the Faqiu descendant, this ancestor of your Zhuo family, the kung fu of the inverted fight should be quite good. Have you ever seen any antiques in your house? ”

I reminisced and shook my head, "I have seen a few antiques at home since I was a child, but they should not be particularly outstanding, because no one cares too much. ”

Lantern Xiao smiled, "Since this predecessor of your family is so good, he must have read countless tombs in his life, and there must be a lot of good things in his hands......" Lantern Xiao said spitting, and then suddenly stopped, and slowly turned his gaze to the small tomb of my ancestor.

I looked at Lantern Xiao's gaze and probably guessed what this kid was thinking! I stepped forward and grabbed Lantern Xiao's arm, "You kid wants to go crazy with meditation, dare to hit our family's ancestral grave!" ”

Lantern Xiao shook off my arm, "I'll go, what are you thinking!" Can I do that! I was thinking that such a master would eventually settle down for an ancient tomb, and he used this way of hunting, and I thought that this ancient tomb must be extraordinary. ”

If the location of the ancient tomb is not conducive to blatant excavation, other means of concealing people's ears will be used, such as building a house, enclosing a yard, or even planting a crop, and it is basically a tall crop such as corn and sorghum. The rakes used this method to conceal their movements.

I glared at Lantern Xiao suspiciously, and then while carefully checking the surrounding ground again, I said, "Okay, let's come here for a purpose, let's act according to the plan first, and we'll talk about other things later." ”

Lantern Xiao looked at me and said, "Will you make a little fuss, your second uncle spent the night here back then, maybe it was just because your grandfather had just passed away, and he just wanted to express his sorrows." ”

I shook my head, "I've tried to think that way too, but so many things have happened recently, including what my second uncle did, and I found that I really couldn't understand him." Maybe in the past, I thought he didn't know what he was doing! However, now it is different, I always feel that there must be something hidden here, this idea is like a thorn in my heart, and now there is another Ma Jun here, and it is still related to my second uncle, this matter is even more wrong. Anyway, it's already here anyway, so just check it out. ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, "Okay! As he spoke, he turned on his flashlight and walked towards the oldest mound in my house, and I quickly followed.

Lantern Xiao took two steps and suddenly turned his head and asked: "There is one thing I haven't done and understood, could it be that this ancient tomb under your ancestral house has not been really dug up!" Do you think your second uncle is also looking for that ancient tomb? I remember you saying that the burial chamber under your ancestral house had a passage to the rest of the world, but it was buried by the collapsed earth. It means that the road there has been blocked! ”

I looked around and said, "Say you're stupid, and you'll start snorting light bulbs." If the Zhuo family settled here because of this ancient tomb, then it has been more than a hundred years since the beginning, and they have not been able to enter an ancient tomb for more than a hundred years, and the level of the Zhuo family's descendants is too poor! ”

When I said this myself, I suddenly froze, and an idea flashed through my mind.

Lantern Xiao listened to my words, but frowned, "If your Zhuo family has successfully entered the ancient tomb, then why did you give up after only half digging that passage, a hundred years of operation, let alone a passage, even if Yugong moved mountains, it was almost successful!" ”

Lantern Xiao's words reminded me again, so that the fleeting thoughts in my mind just now slowly began to take shape. Lantern Xiao looked at me in a daze, thinking that I was attracted by his statement, and was slightly proud, so he continued his discussion, "Didn't you say that a large number of bones appeared in that passage, I guess your ancestors must have discovered that there was danger, so they had to give up!" ”

Suddenly, an amazing idea took shape in my head! My whole being was struck by lightning, and I cursed myself for being damned. I almost forgot about the passage full of bones, and I almost ignored such an important clue!

I hurriedly looked around, anxious to find a commanding height, and subconsciously jumped up to a higher mound next to me in two steps.

The Lantern Festival next to him hurriedly shouted, "I'll go!" You are crazy! Come down!! I just said that we should respect the deceased! ”

I didn't bother to explain to Lantern Xiao, and I was anxious to verify the idea in my heart. I found that except for the clearing where the ancestral tomb was located, it was surrounded by dense grass, and the location of this clearing was probably a bulge on the east side of the south side of Guibei Mountain. Looking up, I can probably see the village where the ancestral house is located.

I raised my hand to estimate the distance from here to the ancestral house, and looked at the stars in the sky, but fortunately it was still a long time before dawn, and today's wind blew away the clouds, and the whole night sky was very clear. Combined with all this, I think I finally understood why my second uncle came here to spend the night after my grandfather died.

I jumped down from the grave, and Lantern Xiao hurriedly made a gesture at the grave tombstone, "This senior, I'm really sorry, this kid of yours is a little crazy!" Adults don't remember villains, but they have to remember them! ”

I was looking at the stars in the sky in a daze, and Lantern Xiao came over and pushed me from behind, "Hey, what are you doing?" Shocked, I thought your kid was possessed by some of your seniors! ”

I didn't have time to pay attention to the run on the Lantern Festival, and said with some excitement: "I'm really stupid! I've forgotten our housekeeping skills! ”

Lantern Xiao looked at me suspiciously, "What kind of housekeeping skills?" ”

I patted him, "Stargazing and pulse fixing!" ”

After I finished speaking, I was even more confused, "No, where is this!" What do you want to say? Does any of this matter? ”

I pulled Lantern Xiao to stand next to the small mound of the ancestor of the Zhuo family in front of the ancestral tomb, "Lantern Festival, you stand in this position, look hard to the southwest, can you see the location of our ancestral house?" ”

Lantern Xiao squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while, "I can't see clearly what your ancestral house looks like, but the place where I see lights should be the lights on the construction site of your ancestral house." ”

I pointed in the direction of our ancestral home, "This is the direction in which the passage of our catacombs is connected, and in my judgment, that passage should always be connected here." ”

Lantern Xiao was a little surprised by my words, "My God, it's so long, can't it?" ”

I waved my hand again and again, "Look at the sky, Tiankui is in the sky, Lu Cun assists, Tianliang sits in the palace of life, and the sun and the sun and the yin will shine respectively, which is a typical sun and moon and Mingge." ”

Lantern Xiao looked at me blankly, "Zhuo Ran, these days like a book, just say the result, my brain is a little insufficient!" ”

I said excitedly: "This celestial phenomenon shows that there must be a big tomb here, and it is not an ordinary tomb, it is very likely to be an imperial tomb!" Imperial Tomb! Do you know! I grabbed Lantern Xiao's arm and shook it vigorously.

Lantern Xiao understood what I meant, and suddenly became excited, "Really? Is it really an imperial mausoleum? ”

I nodded, "Even if you can't read the celestial phenomena, do you remember that passage full of bones?" ”

Lantern Xiao nodded hurriedly, and I continued: "That's not a passage at all, there's a burial ditch there!" With such a long burial ditch, you can imagine the scale of this mausoleum. ”

Lantern Xiao said suddenly: "No wonder your ancestor chose this place, it turns out that an imperial tomb was found here." ”
