Chapter 6: A Hundred Years of Hidden Secrets
Remember [Lewen] in a second. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.
I really wanted to quit, but now that I've been climbing down for a long time, I don't know how far down there is, and now it's in this awkward position of being in this dilemma, it's really painful, I gritted my teeth and decided to continue down.
As I climbed, I cursed, "Which ancestor did this work, can't you dig the hole bigger?" Eighty percent think that this vein of my family is a descendant of Faqiu, and this hole is also considered the business training of the ground inverted bucket! ”
Thinking of this, I was suddenly shocked, I found that this hole was a little strange, I didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, and now I complained a few words, and finally thought of the reason, this hole in front of me is a thief hole at all!!
Dig a burglar hole under your own home?! Did I guess it, is this really business training? Or is it ......
In an instant, I thought of a possibility, which made my brain sound like a thunderbolt, and I felt that I had touched a shocking secret of the Zhuo family for a hundred years!
Now if it is certain that this is a thief hole, if it is not for the ancestor who has nothing to do with his own skills to dig and play, it has another purpose! And there is only one function of such a thing as cave robbery, and that is to go to the tomb! In other words, this robbery cave is connected to an ancient tomb! And the ancient tomb must have appeared here earlier than the ancestral house of the Zhuo family, so why the ancestors of the Zhuo family chose to build the house here is very debatable!
According to my speculation, the most likely situation is that the ancestors of the Zhuo family traveled here and found an ancient tomb hidden underground, but due to the location of the ancient tomb, the population is dense, and it is difficult to start, so in order to avoid people's eyes, they chose a location that is convenient for making holes and built a house. In order to dig a robbery hole that leads to the tomb! This is also a common method used by soil rakes.
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly tightened, so that I am now going down to an ancient tomb, I have never been to the tomb alone, and gradually my heart can't help but start to be nervous.
But after thinking about it, there is actually nothing to be afraid of, this tomb is under the ancestral house, the ancestors of the family for a hundred years, I don't know how many times they have gone back and forth, even if there is a problem, it has long been swept away, and it will not be left until now. Coming to these first, my heart settled down a little.
In this way, I crawled in this thief hole for at least half an hour, and there were a few twists during the process, and I understood that this is the basic common sense of the thief hole, and the thief hole is divided into several sections, even if something goes wrong, there is room for maneuver.
At this time, I was already crawling with sweat, and my legs were already a little immobile, and I was a little worried, if I continued like this, I would not have the physical strength to climb up for a while. And my palms are still oozing blood, maybe I haven't even reached the end, and I've lost too much blood! I began to complain about my recklessness and sloppiness, but I didn't stop!
While I was thinking wildly, I felt empty under my feet, and I fell into an underground space unprepared, and I sat on the ground and almost broke into four pieces. I looked at the hole I had just fallen, and it was just above a stone wall, almost a meter above the ground, but fortunately it wasn't too high!
I had a rough estimate of how far I had traveled along the Thief Cave, and my current position should be right below the ancestral house! It seems that this is the underground vault I found during the day.
I was excited, and I quickly got up and looked around, but when I looked back, I suddenly felt a chill in my back, gasped, and almost screamed!
I saw that in the middle of this secret room, there was a very large object, and when I looked at it, it was a huge coffin. Fortunately, I have experienced a few times before, and I have seen too many strange things, so I can try to stay calm at this time and suppress the fear in my heart.
I stared at the coffin and walked slowly. I found that this is a black lacquered nan wood coffin, and the patterns on it are very finely carved, and I can see that this coffin is very old. But my eyesight is really limited, and I can't see which dynasty this is.
But I don't care too much at this time, the origin of this Nanmu coffin, what I want to know more is, who is buried here? And whether there are any corpses in it!
In fact, when I saw that there was a coffin here, I was very puzzled, and I knew a little about feng shui through reading ancient books and chatting with my second uncle. Logically speaking, building a house on a cemetery is simply a taboo in feng shui.
I know this kind of feng shui, not to mention the ancestors of our lineage in the Zhuo family, but why did they do this? I believe there must be a reason for this, maybe I am still a beginner and I can't understand it.
I held up my phone to look at the front of the coffin, hoping to find some valuable clues. But there was nothing special except for some patterns, and I went to look at the lid of the coffin, and after a cursory look, I didn't seem to see anything. Just when the light of my phone was shaking, I suddenly found that there was something red on the lid of the coffin.
I held my phone steady, looked over again, and found that the red on the coffin lid turned out to be a heavy bit of cinnabar!
When I saw this, I was immediately shocked, cinnabar has been a thing to ward off evil spirits since ancient times, and this kind of thing was actually placed on the coffin lid, is there something wrong with this coffin? I was thinking about it, when I suddenly noticed that there was more than one cinnabar on the coffin lid, and I counted it carefully, and there were a total of sixteen cinnabar points on the entire coffin lid, and they were arranged in a regular way!
I suddenly felt that this number and arrangement were somewhat familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere, I recalled it carefully, and suddenly my whole body was cold, this is obviously the layout of the "sixteen spurs of the clavicle" that my grandfather once mentioned, if there is a corpse change in the coffin, according to this layout, the long nail can be pierced in, and the murderous corpse can be suppressed.
I was shocked, could it be that there is a zongzi hidden in it! Thinking of this, my scalp exploded and I took two steps back. Suddenly, something came under my feet and nearly tripped me, and I ducked to the side, only to find that it was actually caught in my pants.
I was so frightened that I let out an "ahh I ran to the entrance of the cave and subconsciously looked back, only to find that there was nothing behind me.
I stopped again in confusion, and when I turned around cautiously, I saw that there was something about two feet black on the ground.
My heart has already risen to my throat, could it be that this thing stumbled me just now? But it looked motionless now, and it didn't look like a living thing. I was brave and walked over carefully, only to find that there was a tablet on the ground! I guess I was standing on the edge of the coffin just now, and I accidentally kicked it down.
It turned out to be a false alarm, and I couldn't help but let out a long breath. I lowered my head and picked up the tablet, which was engraved with the tablet of the owner of the coffin, and I wanted to see whose coffin it would be under our ancestral home!
I was holding the tablet in my hand, but I was a little surprised in my heart, this coffin definitely looked very old, and this tablet felt relatively new to the touch, at most it was something from recent decades. What the hell is going on?
I flipped the tablet over and saw a column of words engraved in black lacquer: The position of the eldest grandson Chengyang.
I watched it and wondered, who is Sun Chengyang? Ah, no, it should be the eldest grandson Chengyang! I'll go, it's still a compound surname, and the name is pretty cool! Could it be that the owner of the coffin is called Changsun Chengyang, but I haven't heard of this name, is there such a number in history? However, the most important thing is, under the ancestral house of my Zhuo family, why is there a tomb of a guy surnamed Changsun?
I shook my head, and although my mind was full of questions at this time, I respectfully put the tablet back anyway, the deceased was the greatest.
I put the mobile phone in my mouth to illuminate, and put the tablet in the right place with both hands, and because of the angle of the mobile phone in my mouth, at this time, only the light only shines on the upper part of the tablet, that is, there are only two words, I can't help but say in my heart, eldest grandson? This surname is really quite rare. But......
I suddenly thought of something and was stunned for a moment, what if this wasn't a surname! My brain suddenly banged, my brain went blank, and my whole body was blinded! What if the people buried here are our own people? If the eldest grandson is not a surname, it is a title! Then the sentence of this tablet should be: the eldest grandson, the position of Chengyang!
My whole body was struck by lightning, and I was stunned!
I can't tell for sure the date of this tablet, but it must have been erected in recent decades, and I heard my father say that his grandfather died long before he was born. Therefore, I am the only one who can be called the eldest grandson of this family in recent decades!
But I'm still alive! I'm still standing here! I was out of breath and I forced myself to take a deep breath and force myself to calm down. I went to look at the tablet again, and it seemed that I still had some questions, what do the words Chengyang mean? It looks like it's a person's name here, which means that this person called the eldest grandson is named Chengyang!
I breathed a sigh of relief and comforted myself, "It's okay, it seems that this tablet should mean something else!" But I was even more puzzled in my heart, "I've never heard of it since I was a child, there is a person named Chengyang in the family!" Could it be that my grandfather has another child before my father and second uncle? Or do I have an older brother? Or, does dad have a son? Oh, my God! No, Dad doesn't look like a guy who can do such a thing! ”
I was like a second King Kong at a loss, and I couldn't help but start thinking nonsensically.
