Chapter 6: The Hundred Years of Secrets
I really wanted to quit, but I have been climbing down for a long time now. I don’t know how far I am still below. Now I am in this awkward position in a dilemma. It’s really painful. I gritted my teeth and decided to continue to move down.
While crawling, I cursed, "Which ancestor does this is the work? Can't you dig the hole bigger? Eighty-most think that this lineage of my family is the descendant of Faqiu. Is this hole considered a business training for land-to-ground fighting?"
Thinking of this, I was suddenly shocked. I found that the entrance of the hole was a little strange. At the beginning, I didn’t pay attention. Now I complained a few times and finally thought about the reason. The hole in front of me was simply a thief!!
I guessed that this is really business training? Or...
In an instant, I thought of a possibility that made my mind feel like a thunder blew up. I felt like I had touched a shocking secret from the Zhuo family for a hundred years!
If it is confirmed that this is a hole robbery, if the ancestors had nothing to do and dig and play with it, it would have another purpose! And the hole robbery has only one function, that is, tombs! That is to say, this hole robbery connects an ancient tomb! The ancient tomb must have appeared here earlier than the Zhuo family’s ancestral home, so why the ancestors of the Zhuo family chose to build the house here is very questionable!
According to my speculation, the most likely situation is that the ancestors of the Zhuo family traveled here and discovered an ancient tomb hidden underground. However, due to the dense population of the ancient tomb, it was difficult to get started. So in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, they chose a convenient location to dig holes and built a house to dig holes leading to the ancient tomb! This is also a common method for earth rakes.
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became nervous. I said that what I have been depositing is an ancient tomb now. I have never been to the tomb of anyone. Gradually, my heart began to become nervous.
But after thinking about it, there is nothing scary. This tomb is under the ancestral home. I don’t know how many times my ancestors and ancestors in my family have been going back and forth for a hundred years. Even if there is any problem, it has been cleared up long ago and will not be left to the present. After these first, I felt a little calmer.
I used this method and climbed in this thief hole for at least half an hour. During this period, I understood that this is the basic common sense of digging thief holes. Dividing the thief holes into several sections, and even if there is a problem, there is room for maneuver.
At this time, I was already sweating all over and my legs were a little unable to move. I was a little worried. If I continue like this, I may not be able to climb up later. Moreover, my palms are still bleeding. Maybe I have lost too much blood before I can reach the end! I began to complain about my recklessness and sloppy, but I didn't stop!
Just as I was thinking about it, I felt empty under my feet. I was unprepared and fell into an underground space. My butt was almost four-petal. I looked at the hole that I had just fallen out, which was just above a stone wall, which was about one meter from the ground. Fortunately, it was not too high!
I roughly estimated the distance I was walking along the thief hole. My current location should be just below the ancestral home! It seems that this is the underground secret room I discovered when I was fighting for blessings during the day.
I felt excited and quickly got up and looked around, but when I looked back, I suddenly felt a chill on my back, I took a breath of cold air, and almost screamed!
I saw a huge thing in the middle of this secret room. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a huge coffin. Fortunately, I had seen too many strange things in the past few times, so I could still try to remain calm and suppress my inner fear.
I stared at the coffin tightly and walked over slowly. I found that it was a black lacquered nanmu coffin, with the patterns on it very finely carved. It was obvious that the coffin was very old. However, my eyesight was really limited, and I couldn't tell which dynasty was from this.
But I was not very concerned about the origin of this nanmu coffin. What I want to know more is who was buried here? And is there any corpses inside!
In fact, when I saw that there was a coffin here, I was very confused. When I talked about Feng Shui, I knew a little about it through reading ancient books and chatting with my second uncle. Common sense, building houses and houses on a cemetery is simply a taboo in Feng Shui.
I know this kind of Feng Shui theory, not to mention the ancestors of our Zhuo family, but why did they do this? I believe there must be a reason. Maybe I am still a little knowledgeable and cannot understand it.
I raised my phone to look at the front of the coffin, hoping to find some valuable clues. But apart from some patterns, there was nothing special. I looked at the lid of the coffin again, and I looked at it roughly, and it seemed that I couldn't see anything. Just when the light of my phone was shaking, I suddenly found that there was something red on the lid of the coffin.
I took my phone firmly and looked over again. I found that the red on the cover of the coffin was a bit of cinnabar!
When I saw this, I was shocked. Cinnabar has been an evil-proof object since ancient times. This kind of thing was actually placed on the coffin lid. Is there something wrong with this coffin? I was thinking, and suddenly I noticed that there was not only one cinnabar on the coffin lid. I counted it carefully and there were a total of sixteen cinnabars on the entire coffin lid, and they were arranged in a regular way!
I suddenly felt that the number and arrangement were familiar, and seemed to have heard it somewhere. I recalled it carefully and suddenly my whole body was cold. This was obviously the layout of the "Sixteen Punctures of the Clavicle" mentioned by my grandfather. If a corpse changes in the coffin, and stabbing a long nail in the layout according to this layout, you can suppress the evil corpse.
I was shocked. Could it be that there was a rice dumpling hidden in it? Thinking of this, my scalp exploded and I took two steps back. Suddenly, I encountered something under my feet, which almost tripped me. I hid next to me, but found that this thing was actually grabbed on my pants.
I was so scared that I let out a "ah" sound, kicked and kicked off the thing, turned around and ran to the position of the thief. I ran to the entrance of the hole, looked back subconsciously, but found that there was nothing behind me.
I stopped again in confusion, turned around carefully, and found that there was something about two feet black on the ground.
My heart was already in my throat. Could it be that this thing was stumbled on me just now? But it seemed that it was motionless now, not like a living thing. I plucked up my courage and walked over carefully, and then I realized that there was a tablet on the ground! I probably had it been standing next to the coffin and accidentally kicked off by me.
It turned out that it was a false alarm, and I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh. I lowered my head and picked up the tablet. The tablets engraved on it were probably the tablets of the coffin owner. I wanted to see whose coffin would be placed under our ancestral home!
I was holding the tablet in my hand, but I was a little surprised. This coffin looked a bit old, but this tablet felt relatively new when touched, at most it was something from recent decades. What was going on?
I turned over the tablet and saw a column of words engraved with black paint on it: The position of Changsun Chengyang.
I looked at it and was full of doubts. Who is Sun Chengyang? Oh, no, it should be Changsun Chengyang! I'm going, I'm still a duplicate surname, and my name is quite cool! Is the owner of the coffin called Changsun Chengyang? But I have never heard of this person's name. Is there such a number in history? But the most important thing is, why is there a tomb of a guy named Changsun under my Zhuo family's ancestral home?
I shook my head. Although my mind was full of various problems at this time, no matter what, the dead are the most important, I still respectfully put the tablet back.
I held my phone in my mouth to illuminate it, and put the tablet in straightened with both hands. Because of the angle of the phone in my mouth, only the light shone on the upper half of the tablet, which was only the word Changsun. I couldn't help but mutter, Changsun? This surname is really rare. But...
I suddenly thought of something and was stunned. If this was not a surname! My mind suddenly blew, my mind suddenly turned blank, and I was confused! What if the burialist in this place was the person of our Zhuo family? If Changsun was not a surname, then it was a title! Then the final sentence of this tablet should be: Changsun, the position of Chengyang!
I was stunned for a moment when I felt like I was struck by lightning!
I don't know the age of this tablet, but it should have been established in recent decades. I heard from my father that his grandfather had passed away long before he was born. Therefore, I am the only one who can be called the eldest grandson in this family in recent decades!
But I am still alive! I am still standing here alive! I was so breathless that I couldn't breathe. I forced myself to take a deep breath and keep myself calm. I went to see the tablet again, and seemed to have some questions. What does the word Chengyang mean? It seems that it is a person's name, which means that this person who is called Changsun is named Chengyang!
I breathed a little relieved and comforted myself, "It's okay, it seems that this tablet should mean something else!" But I was even more confused in my heart, "I have never heard of it since I was a kid. There is a man named Chengyang in my family! Could it be that my grandfather had another child before my dad and second uncle? Or, I have an older brother? Or, my dad has a son? Oh my god! No, my dad doesn't look like someone who can do such a thing!"
I was like a 2-inch Vajra who was confused and couldn't help but start to think nonsense.
