Chapter 102: The Chen Family's Past
Sitting on the second Corvette, Luo Chen finally knew what had happened.
The old family has a family rule that they must go to the ancestral grave to worship on three days every year.
And these three days are not fixed, there is a black seal in the old family, once the black seal is shining, it is the day.
Two days ago, the black hair was gone, and it happened to be the weekend, so the boss asked the second and fourth if they wanted to go to his hometown to play together, and the two naturally agreed when they heard it.
The boss's hometown is in a small county in Zhejiang, and it is only a three-hour drive away.
"I originally thought it was the boss's family, but I didn't expect to look at it in the past, boom, at least there are more than 500 people, and then I heard the boss say that all of them are relatives within nine generations, nine generations!"
The second child made a very exaggerated expression: "My family is only four generations old." ”
"Nine generations, it will take eight or nine hundred years from the boss. Luo Chen counted with his fingers.
"The old family directly chartered a hotel, everyone lived there, good guys, I didn't even have a movie theater. The second child's expression was a little frustrated, and his self-confidence as the richest man in the dormitory had been severely hit.
He forgot that there was a local tyrant sitting next to him, not to mention the hotel, and even the White House could afford to book a night.
"What happened next?" asked Luo Chen.
"You'd better see for yourself. The second child said with a strange expression.
The car got on the highway and arrived at its destination, Lake City, three hours later.
Honestly, this place is not very good.
Although there are mountains, rivers and fresh air, the whole city seems to be splashed with gray paint, and it is only a step away from the word lifeless.
The car continued to drive forward until the last house disappeared and the surrounding landscape turned into a bare field.
"Why aren't there any crops in the fields?" asked Luo Chen.
"Because it's a bad place. The second child said.
"Hoodoo?"
"Don't ask me, I also listened to the boss. ”
After another half an hour, the car came to the bottom of a mountain.
The two got out of the car, the second child led the way in front, and the steps were covered with fallen leaves, some of which were rotten, and a few footprints could be seen sparsely.
"More than 500 people went up the mountain with just a few footprints?"
"These are mine. The second child's expression was a little afraid: "You will know when you go up." ”
Luo Chen's brows tightened, what the hell happened.
The mountain is not high, only a hundred meters, and the two of them walked quickly and reached the top of the mountain in 20 minutes.
"Wow, so many people!"
Luo Chen opened his mouth wide, the entire top of the mountain was a platform, the size of a football field, densely packed with people, it seemed that this mountain was originally more than this height, but part of it was cut off.
"Classmate, didn't you go to the police, the police. ”
A middle-aged man ran over, saw the second child's eyes lit up, grabbed the second child's hand and asked.
The second child's expression was a little embarrassed: "I looked for the police, but they didn't want to come as soon as they heard that it was here, but I found a more reliable person." ”
"A more reliable person?" The middle-aged man's gaze moved to Luo Chen and looked up and down: "Is this one?"
Luo Chen was a little unhappy, what was going on with your distrustful gaze, but he still stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Luo Chen, and I am Chen Yuhang's roommate." ”
The middle-aged man's expression softened: "It turned out to be Yuhang's roommate, my name is Chen Song, I am Yuhang's uncle, and I am also the current head of the Chen family." ”
Priest chief?
Only then did Luo Chen discover that the middle-aged man was indeed wearing a sacrificial robe and holding a cane in his hand.
"Can you tell me what's going on here, I should be able to help. Luo Chen said.
The middle-aged man hesitated and sighed: "This starts with a past incident of our Chen family. ”
Nine hundred years ago, during the Southern Song Dynasty.
At that time, it was a time of war, and the war between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin people was at a fever pitch.
The emperor is mediocre, the ministers are corrupt, and the common people are miserable.
The ancestors of the Chen family were originally big families in the capital, and the family property was solid, because the Jin people were forced to leave the city, but fortunately, they got the news in advance and there was no loss.
Because there are many people with money, they can't run fast in the end, and they are soon caught up by the Jinren.
At the time of nine deaths, the ancestors of the Chen family retreated to the foot of this mountain, and just when the Jin people were about to attack, the top of the mountain was cut off and smashed into the Jin people's ranks.
What is the scene when half of the mountain is pressed down, make up for it by yourself, but it is certain that no one can survive at all, and the elite team of this golden man will be wiped out!
Although the Chen family was also partially injured, at least they saved their lives and money.
At this moment, a cloudy wind blew, and a sound came from the mountain.
"On the third day of every year, everyone in the Chen family must come here to worship, otherwise, they will die!"
The ancestor of the Chen family thought that the gods were coming, and hurriedly led everyone to kowtow and bow down, and the one who spoke probably saw that their attitude was sincere and in a good mood, and gave them a black seal.
This black seal divided the Chen family into two factions, with the ancestor of the Chen family taking the lead, thinking that he should still do his duty, people are doing it, the sky is watching, and there is no hiding in front of the king of Hades.
Others think that since it is a gift from God, there is no reason not to use it.
So, under this mountain, the Chen family separated.
Luo Chen's face was full of black lines when he listened, and he really wanted to smoke him when he looked at the middle-aged man, Lao Tzu didn't come to listen to you tell the story, but you told me the key point.
"The point?" The middle-aged man looked dazed, and suddenly patted his head: "Look at my memory, it's like this, although the Chen family is divided into two families, but the one who said it was the entire Chen family, a sacrifice the year before last because a clansman didn't rush back abroad, I thought it was okay, but now"
The middle-aged man led Luo Chen through the crowd to the center of the platform, where there was a stone platform covered with spiral-shaped grooves that extended downward like a funnel.
"Every clansman has to sacrifice a drop of blood, just like clocking in at work, and it is clear who did not come. The middle-aged man said.
"What about Chen Yuhang, and a person in our dormitory. ”
The middle-aged man spread his hands: "They were sucked in, this is the punishment." ”
Luo Chen looked at Shitai with a gloomy face: "I heard that there is something wrong with the way up the mountain?"
"Yes, there was originally an elevator, but now it's broken, we originally wanted to evacuate by that mountain road, but none of the Chen family can get out, and they will come back as we walk. The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
At this moment, the nearby Chen family suddenly quarreled, and there were more and more of them.
"What's wrong with that. ”
The middle-aged man shrugged: "What can two hostile camps do when they get together, their conservatives think that our Black India faction has done it." ”
Luo Chen was speechless, his eyes looked at the stone platform again, the eldest and the fourth were sucked in, could it be that this is a teleportation array?
