Chapter 22 The Secret of the Dungeon
The second uncle nodded and said, "Yes, so I want to ask you for help!" Then he handed me a piece of red cloth, "Hurry, find a place to get some ash in it. I'll go there to support me, hurry up!"
"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but shake my head, "Uncle Second, why did you come up with such a bad idea... you can't even think of even scraping your stomach!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Uncle Er pulled me up, "You go quickly!"
I hurriedly put on my clothes and prepared to set off. Before leaving, my second uncle reminded me, "Break it a little! Don't let people see it!"
In this era, fewer and fewer families have made their own stoves. I found many places to get some stove ash. I knocked the stove ash so that I wrapped it in red cloth, put it in my arms and headed straight for the old house of Ma’s family.
In this way, the Ma Jun was buried without any danger. From then on, the Ma Jun will never be like this person, and people will gradually forget him after a while. But who would have thought that such a crazy person had such an incredible, strange and terrifying experience. However, that unknown experience brought him a tragic ending. After his death, he did not even leave a whole body, let alone the whole body, which could be regarded as being wiped out.
After dealing with the matter of Ma Jun, the three of us returned to the village. At this time, Lanxiao's cell phone rang. I saw that the caller was Sisi. Lanxiao walked to the side and answered the phone. Although I couldn't hear clearly what he said, I clearly saw Lanxiao's hippie and smiling face, silly look.
After hanging up the phone, Yuanxiao said goodbye to us, saying that there were a lot of things in the store, so we had to go back quickly. But I knew it was probably because Sisi complained about him again. I smiled and nodded. Yuanxiao left hurriedly. Seeing the anxious and happy expression on her face when she left, I was very relieved. Yuanxiao lost her father and left the Tang family. Now she can be said to be alone. At this time, someone is willing to accompany him to take care of him, and I am sincerely happy for him.
Before I knew it, Kong Xue's beautiful smile appeared in my mind again. Lantern Festival has found its own happiness, so what about me? Thinking of this, I can't help but sigh.
Uncle II seemed to see what I was thinking, patted my shoulder, but didn't say anything.
After a while, my second uncle asked me: "Big nephew, what are your plans for the next step?"
Uncle Er suddenly asked this and I didn’t know how to answer. It seemed that I really didn’t know what to do next. After thinking for a while, I raised my eyebrows and said, “What can I do next?! Go home and sleep online and find a job to live a normal life.”
The second uncle smiled, "Why, aren't you a normal life now?"
I raised my hand with a wry smile. The wound on my hand had not completely healed at this time. "Do you think this is like a normal life?" Uncle Er nodded helplessly.
"Where are you, Uncle II?" I asked Uncle II, "Where are you going?"
The second uncle pointed to the village, "I'll go to the second uncle to visit it. Then I went back to the pharmacy. I haven't been back for a while, so I have to go back and have a look."
I knew that the second uncle whom the second uncle was referring to was the second uncle, and I was unwilling to participate in the conversation between elders. So I told the second uncle that I was going home. The second uncle took me to the road at the entrance of the village and watched me get on the bus back to the city.
I sat in the car and looked at the Turtle-Bear Mountain looming in the distance through the trees on both sides. A thought suddenly flashed through my mind, and I seemed to have forgotten something important.
I quickly got up and stopped the driver. Fortunately, the car didn't drive too far, so I walked back on foot. After more than ten minutes, I arrived at the entrance of the village again. At this time, the second uncle had already gone back.
After I entered the village, I went straight to the door of the ancestral home. Although my second uncle said just now that he would go to my second uncle to sit, I had a sense that he didn't do that at all. He was now in the ancestral home. The two doors of the ancestral home were closed, but I stepped forward and pushed them hard. With a "creak", the two thick doors opened in response.
It was afternoon, and the time in the village was the quietest, and the huge yard in front of me seemed quiet and profound.
I walked through the courtyard and came to the main hall in the middle, but saw that the room was empty. At this time, I knew where my second uncle was.
I stepped into the backyard and saw that the door of the utility room was not closed. When I walked in and saw that the flip board on the floor inside the room was also open, I knew that my guess was correct.
I squatted on the ground, looking at the open flip board. When I was hesitating, I suddenly heard something coming from below. So I squatted on the side and waited quietly. After a while, Uncle Er poked his head out from below, suddenly saw me, and was startled, then glared at me, "You boy, scared me! Haven't you left? Why are you squatting at the door of the cellar? "Uncle Er said the word "cellar" very loudly.
I was not in a hurry to tell Uncle II, "Uncle II, I'm asking you, why are you going to go into the cellar for nothing?"
The second uncle is still very smart. He knew that I was probably prepared, so he did not answer but stared at me for a while, "What do you want to ask?"
I smiled, "Uncle Second, we are the two of us here. What are you worried about? I just want to know what secrets are there in our Zhuo family?"
The second uncle came out of the cellar and patted the soil on his body, "If you refer to the dungeon under the ancestral tomb, I can tell you that it has nothing to do with the Zhuo family, it just happened to be discovered by the Zhuo family."
I continued to ask, "What's the secret in the dungeon? The Zhuo family has been operating there for so many years, and it's impossible for them to not find it?"
The second uncle pondered for a while and said, "Big nephew, have you ever thought that if I told you everything, maybe you will never be able to go back to your original peaceful life?"
I sneered in my heart, and my second uncle was scaring me again. I waved my hand, "It's okay, I'm not living a normal life now."
"But you are my nephew after all." Uncle Second sighed, "Let's go, since you want to know, let's have a good chat."
I followed my second uncle and returned to the main hall. Although the construction of the ancestral house was completed, there was no time to clean up inside. There were only a few casual chairs in the room.
After my second uncle and I went to sit down, my second uncle first told me something recorded in the Northern Qi Dynasty Wuhu Chronicles during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
It says this: There is a small town built against the mountain near Tuoshui. It was originally peaceful and peaceful when it was not a fight with the world. However, misfortune came from heaven and plague broke out. More than half of the people in Wujia City died of illness. The government ordered the city to be closed down and allowed the people in Wujia City to die. For a moment, the people in Wujia City were mourning everywhere, and the bones were piled up like mountains. The people in the city were in extremely miserable condition.
But one morning, the soldiers guarding outside the door suddenly discovered that the city gate, which had been locked for many days, had been opened, and a huge pit appeared in front of the city gate, which was unfathomable and was shrouded in white mist.
At first, the government thought that the people who were blocked in the city escaped, but after investigation, they found that not only did the fewer people in the city have not yet become fewer, but also more. They were frightened to find that many people who had already died came back to life. The generals guarding the city thought that something was strange and reported the matter to the court.
At that time, Emperor Wucheng Gao Zhan felt that it was a demon's cause, so he ordered the water of the Tuo River to flood Wujia. The army split the mountain and opened the stones and opened the river at the fastest speed. Some of the surging river water diverted to flow down and headed straight for Wujia City. The turbulent river water made the rocks loose, causing a large-scale landslide and collapsed on the mountain. The entire Wujia City, together with the people in it, and the huge pit that suddenly appeared, was buried overnight by river water and earth and stones.
After talking about this, Uncle Er looked at me and said, "If I saw such a record in the book, I would definitely think that this was a fabrication of ancient legends. However, it is not a legend, it really exists. When I first saw it, I was shocked."
Uncle Er didn’t describe it very clearly, but I still understood it immediately. “The dungeon under the ancestral tomb is the buried Wujia City recorded in the book!”
Uncle Er nodded and said in surprise: "Can we cleaned up the dungeon by our Zhuo family?"
