Chapter 12: The Past
"Lao Liu, although you were not righteous back then, for the sake of being able to live and die together, you still truthfully confessed! You should know my dad's ways! ”
The third uncle's words finally made Liu Xuan completely shaken, he was the same age as my third uncle, but he was only thirty or forty years old, but now this appearance seems to be terminally ill, and he is dying, I don't know what he has done all these years!
He swallowed his saliva, stared at my grandfather with one eye, and said in a solemn tone: "Uncle, it was indeed me who was wrong back then, but I am also afraid of being imprisoned!" I hope you don't care about the past, my body is not extravagant, since I entered that line, I haven't slept a peaceful sleep until now, those things are very evil! Can you really give me a good death? ”
Looking at his appearance at the moment, even my heart couldn't help but be a little touched, my grandfather looked back at my third uncle, and the implication was that if he dared to commit a taboo, he would end up like this in the future. He patted Liu Shuan on the shoulder and asked again: "It's not difficult for you to have a good death, you have to tell us first what grievances you have with the Zhao San family, and where did you learn this method of breaking people's lives!" ”
The old lady deceived the corpse, all because of these two coffin nails, although there is a mysterious chapter in the national warrior line that specifically records all kinds of thaumaturgy, but the law of the national scholar is mostly a good law! Therefore, although grandpa knows what it is, it is also the first time he has seen such a vicious thaumaturgy!
A few of us sat in a pile of paper figurines like this, listening to Liu Shuan talk about his experience over the years! He was the first to get out of prison back then, and he also knew that my third uncle would no longer have anything to do with him, his ancestors all made a living from funerals, and he was not taboo about digging graves, so he entered this line again! During this period, he also got acquainted with a tomb robber in Hunan, according to him, that guy has some Taoism, some evil arts, and is also quite proficient in tomb robbing, and the two have made some money together! And Liu Xuan followed him, and he learned some evil arts!
It's just that more than ten years ago, the two of them had an accident when they went down to the tomb again, not only walked an empty tomb, but also encountered unclean things, the two of them died for a lifetime, and in the end only Liu Xuan escaped by luck, and the Hunan Yan stayed in the tomb forever, and Liu Xuan's eyes were also blind in the tomb, and there was no treasure in the tomb, plus the money at that time was almost squandered, after this incident, Liu Xuan also completely retired from this line of work, and started his old business on the edge of the county! And this coffin nail was one of the things he brought out of that empty tomb back then!
Since ancient times, thieves do not go empty, the treasure in the empty tomb has been taken first, the two of them took these things when they went down to the tomb, although they are useless to others, and they are not worth a few dollars, but for Liu Xuan, who has learned a little bit of evil arts, he can use it from time to time!
And this opportunity will come after the old lady's death!
Speaking of the old lady, Liu Xuan suddenly mentioned in a tone: "This world is unfair!" Uncle, you said it yourself, can you get rich now that you are down-to-earth? Yes? Then what did the Zhao San family rely on, I'm afraid you don't know, right? Why did I dare to take the third child to rob the tomb back then? Today, I will tell you all the good things that his Zhao family did back then! Don't hide it, my old Liu family, my ancestors were tomb robbers! The funeral is just a pretense! ”
Hearing this, I was not too surprised, since ancient times Yun Cao Cao is the ancestor of tomb robbers, and Xuchang was the base camp of tomb robbers, so that later the whole of Henan was rampant tomb robbery, this was not a secret at the time, a little inquiry, you can know who has robbed tombs, what wealth has been, but there are not many people who make a living from tomb robbing!
And according to Liu Xuan's words, his ancestor of the Liu family is a professional tomb robber, maybe he is a captain who touches gold, but it is a pity that this line of work is unpredictable, most of the craftsmanship has been lost, and it is difficult to assert what the identity of the ancestor is, to his father's generation is still under the guise of selling coffins, doing tomb robbery, since ancient times, it is difficult to rob the tomb alone, and the old Liu Tou partnered with Mrs. Zhao!
And the old Liu Tou's means are obviously much more clever than Liu Xuan, so he and the old lady Zhao made a fortune together, but unfortunately the people's hearts are unpredictable, according to Liu Xuan, the last time the two robbed the tomb and stole the treasure, the old lady Zhao had a bad heart, and buried the old Liu Tou alive in the robbery hole!
Since then, Mrs. Zhao has completely washed her hands, and the old Zhao family has also made a fortune!
When I heard this, I couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that you died in the thief's cave?" ”
Liu Xuan glanced at me and said slowly: "Dream!" At that time, I was about the same age as you, and my father had been gone for a long time without news, but he gave me a dream every night, and then I found the tomb according to the instructions in the dream, dug up my father, and buried it alive! ”
After that, even if Liu Xuan recorded the old Zhao family in his heart, it was a pity that he was weak, and there was no evidence, even if we believed what Tuo Mengzhi said, the police would never believe it! Later, he also wanted to make a fortune by robbing tombs, so he found my third uncle! It's a pity that the fate was unfortunate, until the old lady died, Zhao San didn't know the grievances, and still found Liu Xuan to arrange the funeral, and took the opportunity of the burial, he thought that he had learned the evil art with the Hunan Yankee back then, and pierced the coffin nail into the old lady's Taixi acupoint, wanting to break the luck of the Zhao family!
"Shonan evil arts, it's not shallow to harm people!"
Grandpa sighed, and Liu Xuan continued: "That's the way it is, are you going to call the police?" ”
"Call the police?" Grandpa smiled: "Evil arts, coffin nails, dreams, will the police believe these things?" When the time comes, I can't determine your motive for killing, and I still have to let you back! Besides, you've been punished! Gu subjugation, although there is a miraculous power, but its price is often not something ordinary people can bear, you have learned some evil art from that Hunan Yankee, but it has exhausted your yang life! ”
Looking at Liu Xuan's sixty or seventy-year-old appearance at the moment, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, and my grandfather said again: "Forget this matter, I will talk about Zhao San!" You also hand over all the obscure things you found back then, and I want to put them into the ground, but I can give you a good death! In the future, don't hurt anyone again! ”
Hearing this, Liu Xuan nodded, went to his bedroom for a while, walked over with a wooden box, and said: "There is nothing left, everything that should be exchanged for money has been exchanged for money, except for these two coffin nails, there is only a copper coin, a compass, and some porcelain for the funeral!" ”
The box was opened, and several of us gathered around, as Liu Xuan said, a compass, twenty or thirty copper coins, as well as a few exquisite porcelain and a square brand!
"Lao Liu, didn't you bring a compass back then?"
"Not mine! It was the last time I and the Hunan guy went to the grave and found it in the empty tomb! And this! The owner of the tomb seems to be a general! ”
There are many strange stories in the tomb, zombies and ghosts are a common thing, Liu Xuan did not say what they encountered at the beginning, and took out the square brand while speaking, this thing looks like jade not jade, like copper not copper, it looks like it is made of wood to the naked eye, and the handwriting on it is quite clear, engraved with four words - Zhonglang General Order!
