Chapter 193: The Grave
The carriage was galloping, the wheels were running over, splashing countless mud, the water was cold, Zhong Shao, Xiaotian sat in the car, Sixi father-in-law drove in front of the car, and a group of four people went straight to Jicheng.
Shui Han thought in his heart and asked:
"Does my father-in-law know that there is a place called Liujiazhuang outside Jicheng?"
Sixi's father-in-law twisted his chin, thought for a while, and seemed to have some impression of the three words of Liujiazhuang, he said:
"I've heard that this Liujiazhuang is a Zhuangzi directly under the jurisdiction of the nobles of Wangcheng, and it seems to be owned by the three princes, I heard that the three princes have invested in a lot of industries in this Zhuangzi, during which they have experienced several popular riots, and they have been suppressed in the end, but there seems to be no movement in recent years, and the prince asked what is this?"
Shui Han did not shy away from it, and told the cause and effect of Liu Laohan's family to Sixi's father-in-law.
After hearing this, Sixi's father-in-law sighed:
In this way, the death of Liu Laohan's family has nothing to do with the son, the son's heart is still too kind, and in this troubled world, a good heart is not a good thing. ”
Shui Han looked into the distance, his eyes were unpredictable, and he said:
"I have to do it, otherwise I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. ”
Sixi father-in-law is helpless, such a freewheeling state of mind, I'm afraid that even the sword immortal is free from the world, but it's just that he enters this complicated river and lake with the state of mind of such a born person, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Zhong Shao and Xiaotian didn't sigh at Shui Han's experience, and they didn't judge his decision, but Zhong Shao suddenly felt that the hairy boy in red in front of him seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye.
Although the pure land belief in Confucianism is not the same as the traditional Confucianism of the Jixia Academy, it is still the same in essence.
The teachings of the Master, the gentleman, the emphasis on affection, righteousness, faith, and promise.
There are many people who can speak, but not many people who really do it, and I don't want this young man in red to deeply integrate this doctrine into his heart, and practice it.
......
Outside Jicheng, inside Liujiazhuang.
The street is depressed, the wind is blowing wantonly, all kinds of garbage and items are flying on the road with the wind, the whole Liujiazhuang is like a deserted town, only the watchman walks slowly on the street, and the posture of the watchman walking is really weird, looking at the way he walks, it is like a walking corpse with a very stiff body.
"Bell, bell......"
"It's dry, watch out for candles. ”
Voice, ruthless and powerless.
......
"Is this really Liujiazhuang?"
Shui Han looked puzzled, if he wanted to say that it was Zhuangzi, it would be too lonely.
At this moment, it is already night, and Sixi's father-in-law was going to settle down in this Liujiazhuang and rest for a while, but he didn't want to be at this point, and there was no family lighting up the lights, and there was no popularity at all in the entire Zhuangzi.
"The old slave has lived in the palace for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the situation of the Zhuangzi around Jicheng, but the local land security does say that it is right here. ”
So saying, he went to call the watchman:
"Fighting, is this Liujiazhuang?"
The watchman didn't answer, just walked by himself, Zhong Shao felt strange, and approached to check.
"This ......"
"What's wrong?"
"This man was both deaf and blind. ”
"What!"
The four of them were all shocked, and then looked at the surrounding scene, in such a depressed Zhuangzi, there were such strange beaters, which really made people have to have some bad associations.
"Childe, it's so weird here, let's find the grave immediately, and leave immediately after finishing our work. ”
The custom of Yan country, every city, every village, every town, and every village, are popular to build large collective tombs, and it is rumored that this is conducive to gathering in the underworld, and the Yan people are convinced of this statement.
Therefore, after the death of all the people in Liujiazhuang, they will be buried in the collective grave of Liujiazhuang.
burying the ashes of Liu Laohan's family in a collective grave, Shui Han can be regarded as completing his mission.
Sixi's father-in-law has been in Yan Kingdom for most of his life, and he has never seen such a scene, and he has already made up his mind that after returning to the palace, he will have people investigate this matter in detail.
"Hmm. ”
Although Shui Han had some curiosity, he really didn't have much time this time, and if he spent time here, it would really be contrary to the purpose of his trip.
The grave was found quickly, Zhong Shao's nose has always been very sensitive, and he can easily smell the smell of the corpse's decay, so it is naturally not a difficult thing to find the collective grave in Liujiazhuang.
Hyoten picked up dry branches on the side of the road and made torches, which lit the road ahead, and the four of them followed the road to the tomb under the guidance of Zhong Shao.
Shui Han took out the ash jar in the storage talisman, used the giant to dig the soil, buried the ash altar in it, and then took out the stone tablet that he had already prepared.
In fact, that night, Shui Han did not sleep all night, it was on the back mountain to cut the stone stele, he not only carved a wordless stele for Sister Yuxian, but also prepared another stele with words for Liu Laohan's family, there are naturally words on the stele with words, not many words, but not too little, engraved on it, the tomb of Liu Laohan's family.
Seven words, seven very simple words, seem simple and uncultured.
No one in Taoyuan knows the name of Liu Laohan's family, and he has never told others, in fact, many people like him in this troubled world have no name, no name, Shui Han engraved the surname, he carved it not very good-looking, after all, he is the first time to do this kind of thing, but he has done his best, and Yuxian has a name, Shui Han has not engraved it, Sister Yuxian is buried in the mountain behind the pure land, no lettering, Shui Han also recognizes, but this Liu Laohan's family is buried in this Liujiazhuang grave, if it is not engraved, who can know, they are born and raised in the Liu family?
Shui Han sprinkled the last piece of soil in front of the stele, looking at a grave in front of him, seven, seven, eight, scattered, the night has deepened at this moment, their only lighting is the torch in Xiaotian's hand, this torch is swaying in the wind, flickering, will be extinguished at any time, around, visibility is extremely low, but Shui Han still sees clearly!
At first, he suspected that he had seen it wrong, but under the flickering firelight, he looked carefully for a long time, and at this moment, he was finally sure that he was not mistaken, absolutely not wrong, the grave in front of him......
"Many of these graves have been dug up. ”
It was not Shui Han who spoke, but Zhong Shao, not only his sense of smell was far beyond ordinary people, but his vision was also extremely keen, he even discovered this situation earlier than Shui Han.
"What happened to this Liujiazhuang?"
This kind of annihilating thing, even in this troubled world, is absolutely rare, besides, this is Liujiazhuang, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the three princes of Wangcheng, only a stone's throw away from Jicheng, and now this kind of thing has happened, it is really incredible.
"Who!"
Shui Han held the giant with both hands and looked ahead vigilantly, not far ahead, there were frequent movements.
