Chapter 7: The Grave Keeper
Huang Lei came to the stone gate, his pace paused slightly, his mood was complicated, he had hesitated, he was excited, he had hesitated, he had all this like a dream, his brows were locked, his eyes did not leave the stone gate for a moment, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
"After all this time, are you finally going to see the light of day again?"
"How many secrets are you hiding?"
"No matter how many people you have harmed, you should not exist in the world. β
"Hope, or despair. β
"It's a curse or a blessing. β
"Is it right or wrong?"
Huang Lei stroked the stone wall and sighed, his tired face with the vicissitudes of loneliness.
"After years of layout, years of planning, I still came, and I want to change this sad fate. β
"Who can understand how I've come all these years?"
"Is it torture? or is it strong, a sad fate, a sad life. β
"No one understands my way......"
Looking at Huang Lei's excited and crazy state, Jiang Bufan pondered, is it true that each of us is inextricably linked to this ancient tomb? Could it be that father and mother both know about the ancient tomb? Where is my mother now?
"A page of ancient history, dusty years, maybe we can really discover unknown history. Zhou Qian said in a low voice.
Huang Lei cleaned up all the gray sand in front of the stone gate with his clothes again, and a carved picture was exposed in the center of the stone gate, which was drawn into gossip, divided into yin and yang, and a black jade pendant was inlaid on it, obviously missing a fish-eye jade pendant.
"Brother Huang, the jade pendant in your hand came from here, right?"
"You've been here?"
"What are you hiding?"
"What are you bringing us for?"
Jiang Bufan's expression was solemn, he looked at Huang Lei seriously, he found that everything was too naΓ―ve, everyone who came here had their own goals, and there must be hidden secrets that he didn't know.
"The world is turbulent, the family is ruined, and the joys and sorrows are all because of it. Huang Lei grabbed the other half of the white jade pendant, and he had many impulses to break it.
"Cold-hearted, lonely, you see, that's the kind of person I am. β
"Do you know the pain of my rejection of you?"
"Do you know how heartbreaking you were when you married a **?"
"You know, I want to say to you, too, that I love you. β
"Don't dare to love, dare not hate, dare not believe. β
"I want to ruin your life, I want you to be happy, I want to cut off contact, I am unwilling to lose your news, I want to forget you, and I can't help but look for you. β
"You say, it's better not to see each other, so that you don't fall in love. β
"You say, it's better not to know each other, so that you don't love each other. β
"Why, to make me bear such a fate, why ......"
"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled ......"
Huang Lei's emotions were out of control, he clenched his fists and bombarded the stone wall, blood flowed, and the pain in his heart had already numbed his body.
"Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?" Lan Lan couldn't help but say with concern.
She has never seen Huang Lei, who has always been steady, also has times when his emotions are out of control, how much helplessness and pain he has to hide, she can't imagine.
Huang Lei looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I didn't lie to you, I found it in my grandfather's suicide note." β
"In other words, your grandfather went to the grave?"
"And how did you find us? We're all four miles away. β
"Don't tell me it's all accidental?"
Jiang Bufan said coldly, he had a feeling of being calculated, he hated betrayal the most in his life, and he was disgusted to be played as a monkey.
"Yes, none of this is accidental. β
"Because we're all grave keepers. β
"The most regrettable thing in life is that I easily gave up what I shouldn't give up and stubbornly insisted on what I shouldn't have. β
"This is the mission of the grave keeper. β
"Maybe you don't know it yet, but your family definitely has a guardian jade order. β
"Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Qinglong, Qilin, White Tiger, and Qinglian Key. β
"Look, what is this?"
Huang Lei didn't know when there was a statue of a white tiger in his hand, it was very small, this jade was crystal clear, there was a rainbow light lingering inside, bright as a bright glow, moist as a crisp, and tiger stripes were wrapped around the jade.
"This is the token of my Huang family's grave keeper. β
"Are you so sure that our family has these things you said?" Zhou Qian said calmly.
"It's normal that you don't know, because this token is only passed down from generation to generation when they are dying, and my grandfather, father, and mother have all passed away, so I can know these dusty secrets. Huang Lei clenched his fists and his voice trembled.
"If what you said is true, then why don't I know?" Bing Xinzhu said in a deep voice.
Huang Lei looked at Bing Xinzhu and said, "Because you have amnesia, and the green lotus in your hand proves everything." β
"Amnesia? No way, I've never had amnesia. Bing Xinzhu denied.
"One day you will remember, this is fate, there is no escape. Huang Lei seemed to remember something and fell into painful memories.
"Amitabha, Brother Huang may be right, there is a Xuanwu jade carving on the poor monk's body, the old monk once said, with it, it is the secret of your life. Monk Lichen also took out a Xuanwu statue from his arms, and it was indeed of the same quality as Huang Lei's white tiger statue.
"Zhou Qian's family is a green dragon jade carving, Lan Lan's family should be a Suzaku jade carving, and your father or your mother is definitely a Chinese person, your parents should be missing! They want to change the mission of the tomb keeper, but unfortunately they still failed, Qin Shou's family is a unicorn jade carving. β
"How do you know that my parents are missing? Do you know where they went?" Lan Lan was a little excited, looking at Huang Lei to know an answer.
Looking at Lan Lan's appearance, Huang Lei thought for a while and said: "I don't know where your parents went, but I know that they must have their own things to do, and they will definitely return to you before the age of fifty, this is a fate that cannot be escaped." β
"Xiao Fan, you...... I don't know, and I don't know if your family is a tomb keeper, but the hosta you own is still inseparable from this ancient tomb, so I found you. β
Huang Lei said a lot in one breath, it was the usually steady Bing Xinzhu, and Zhou Qian was also full of sadness, not knowing whether it was true or not.
"What do you mean, grave keeper?" Jiang Bufan asked.
"The grave keeper is the soul that guards the tomb, and this is also the sorrow of the tomb keeper, as if he is cursed, but no grave keeper can escape the curse of the number of fifty years, either perish or disappear. β
"You mean to say that all of this is related to this ancient tomb?" Qin Shou was shocked, no wonder he had never met his grandfather, even his father never mentioned it.
Huang Lei turned to look at everyone: "That's right, Gu Yu, the tomb keeper, and the curse are all related to this ancient tomb." β
"I have been investigating this tomb since I was twenty years old, and I have been investigating it for ten years now, in order to find out the secrets of the tomb. β
"You know what? I dare not get married, I dare not fall in love with someone easily, I am afraid that my descendants will inherit this sad fate, and I will change him. β
"That's why I found you, and legend has it that you can only know everything if you collect the five major families and the Qinglian key and enter the ancient tomb. Huang Lei explained.
"Then according to what you say, if you can know this legend, our parents should also know it! Then they should also be able to explore the ancient tombs, right? Why wait for no movement today?" Zhou Qian asked puzzled.
"You're right, every grave keeper knows this legend, but it's conditional......"
