Autumn in Lingnan comes very late, and the temperature is still like summer after August and a half, but there is also a hint of coolness in the morning and evening.

From Rice Wai to Tai O Village, there have been two roads since ancient times, in ancient times, they were to take the waterway out of the river mouth and then go south by sea, three days and two nights can be reached, the highway network of the modern river delta has been built, from the land to Tai O, three hours can be reached.

In order to arrive at Tai O as soon as possible, the whole family got up early, and before dawn, the mighty convoy set off from Tai O Wai to Tai O Village, an ancient seaside village more than 200 kilometers away.

In preparation for today's burial ceremony.

The village chief of Tai O Village, Huang Lao, rushed back to Tai O Village overnight after attending the moonlight birthday dinner in Da Wai last night.

The great monk of Guangxiao Temple also rushed to the Mida Zen Monastery early yesterday to do the final Dharma for the younger brother, in order to fulfill the brotherly affection.

The old people in Da Mi Wai took their juniors out early in the morning and rushed to Tai O Village.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when the convoy arrived at Tai O, it was just dawn.

Mr. Guan brought Mr. Lie and Mr. Zhang, as well as Guan Hao's father, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, sixth uncle, eighth uncle and other core figures of Miwei to the scene.

And Guan Hao, Zhang Yuan, Guan Zhuolin, Zhang Jingyao, etc., of the third generation of Damiwei, also came with the old people.

Xiancun also sent representatives to attend the ceremony.

Everyone did not delay in the village, and after getting off the bus, they went directly to the Jade Dolphin Peak of Tai O Mountain, and walked to the Mida Monastery on the top of the mountain.

The way up the mountain is still the same stone steps, simple and peaceful.

With solemnity and solemnity, everyone walked quickly to the temple on the top of the mountain in the morning sun, and at this time, the old Huang Lao Village in Tai O and the people in the village were already waiting in front of the mountain gate.

When Huang Lao Village saw the old man Lie walking in front, he rushed over with an arrow step, and the other bent his knees, clasped his fists and said to the old man Lie: "Welcome home." ”

Since ancient times, Tai O has been an important transit point and material accumulation point for the Huang family in Xiguan on the way to the sea, and it is also part of the hidden strength of the Huang family.

The Huang family in Tai O has pursued the principle of only recognizing identity for hundreds of years, that is to say, no matter who it is, as long as you are the head of the Huang family in Xiguan, then Tai O will die and follow.

The loyalty of the followers of the century-old family is written into the bones and blood.

If you want the family to be tied up and retreated, the binding of interests is also indispensable.

Many of the businesses of the Huang family in Tai O are underground work arranged by the main family, and Tai O will do it in places where Xiguan is inconvenient, and Xiguan will provide sufficient funds.

"Old man, you've worked hard! We've been apart for almost 50 years! Is everything okay at home? ”

Old man Lie's eyes were full of tears, and he was so excited that he helped Huang Lao Village, who was bent on his knees, with both hands.

"The head of the house, it's all right!"

The old village chief Huang greeted several old men separately.

The crowd was welcomed into the monastery.

At this time, the Mida Zen Monastery has already been full of voices, and the Buddha's name is Xuantian: the monks of the whole temple and the great monks from Guangxiao Temple from Suicheng are chanting and praying for the deceased.

Under the arrangement of the acolyte, a group of people who came from the rice gathered around them, each holding a pillar of sandalwood, stood neatly and quietly on the Buddhist hall of the deceased, waiting for the end of the ritual to be over.

After a long time, the great monk of Guangxiao Temple finished chanting, stood up from the futon, looked around, and found Guan Hao, who prayed sincerely, in the solemn crowd.

"The super puja is over, please Xiao Guan Tanyue go and open the underground palace in the Siming Tower, I will wait for the wish of the junior brother, let him guard this Siming Pagoda!"

"Yes!" When Guan Hao heard the old abbot set his name, he immediately left.

Guan Hao took the young people of the third generation of Miwei out of the Buddhist hall and came to the Siming Pagoda behind the main hall.

At this time, the door of Siming Pagoda was opened, all the four and three vermilion lacquer gates were opened, and the partition leading to the underground palace was also opened.

A swarthy entrance to the dungeon is presented, even in the daytime, looking at the dungeon, it is creepy.

Guan Hao was worried that Zhang Yuan would be afraid, so he took Zhang Yuan's hand and said, "Sister, the underground palace is very dark, and it is not suitable for girls to enter, so you can wait for me outside, okay?" ”

"Well, be careful when you go down! Ah Yao, you take good care of Hao Zai! ”

Guan Hao, Zhang Jingyao and Guan Zhuolin all took out the strong pass points from their backpacks and walked towards the dungeon in a three-person tactical team formation.

It hasn't been opened for many years, and it's filled with a foul smell of decay.

Fortunately, everyone was prepared, and everyone took out a towel to cover their mouths and noses and walked down the steps.

Siming Pagoda is built on a rammed earth pedestal, which is surrounded by huge stone blocks. The underground palace is under a rammed earth platform and is supposed to be a sealed stone chamber.

Guan Hao estimated that when building this Siming Tower, he should have dug the underground palace, then laid a solid foundation, built a pedestal, and then built a stone tower on the abutment.

This was a huge project, and it was really difficult to build such a stone pagoda on the Jade Dolphin Peak in Tai O, which was so remote at that time.

Just when Guan Hao sighed at the wisdom and great perseverance of the ancients, he went down to the stone steps of the underground palace to the end.

"Hao Shao, it's over, the door of the underground palace is in front." Guan Zhuolin reminded Guan Hao who was in a daze.

"Okay, everyone, be careful, I'm afraid there will be a mechanism!"
