Because Hua Zi had come down too quickly and was busy catching Xiao Ka, he sat on the ground. When he turned around, the stone pillar had completely sealed the entrance of the cave and was still rising. It seemed that he would not stop until he returned to his original position!
"Cass has found something here. Don't drop the ball halfway! Without your light, I won't let you off even if I die!”Hua Zi raised the card and carefully read the words on the stone pillar.
'All things are born from the Heavenly Dao. All the heroes of the world gathered in Jizhou to conspire for great things. Everything started because of the five of you. Thinking that I could enter the earth, I ordered you to stay behind and guard it. The next day, I was shocked and realized that something was wrong. I hurriedly fled and returned to it.……Leave a message for future generations…'
Liu Wuhua looked at this paragraph and desperately searched through the words in his head, hoping to understand some of them. These words looked very ancient. He was not an archaeologist, so he could not recognize the age at all. He just hoped to get some enlightenment.
The story of the five students taking the exam originated from the Three Character Classic. When Huazi was very young, his grandfather had told him about it. Probably in ancient Youzhou, there was a man named Dou Yujun in the Song Dynasty. He was rich and cruel, often fighting big and small, so he did not have a son when he was thirty years old. One night, he dreamed that his ancestor told him that he did not have long to live. He could only keep his life if he was kind to others and did more good deeds. Later, he really did as he was told. In the end, God not only rewarded him with a few decades of life, but also gave him five sons. All of them were awarded with official titles, which meant to be kind to others! There was also a saying that this was made up by the imperial court to make people wholeheartedly do good and strive to obtain fame.
As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to nine sons. There are all kinds of differences. Even twin brothers will have different fates because of different encounters! Logically speaking, Dou Yujun was a merchant. At least one of his five sons should be a merchant, but all of them had obtained official titles. There were records in the history books that said that Dou Yujun taught his sons well and had a kind heart! Up until now, the meaning of the five sons entering the imperial examination was also to describe auspicious wealth.
However, if one were to put it in another way, the meaning would be completely different! How could a dream change the greed that was deeply engraved in one's mind? Even in that era where people were very superstitious about ghosts and gods, it would not have happened. "Could it be that he made a fuss about his ancestors 'graves?”Liu Wuhua suddenly quivered.
It had been widely spread since ancient times that burying the deceased elders in acupuncture points with excellent feng shui could benefit their descendants. When Hua Zi was in his teens, he heard his mother say that a strange thing had happened in the neighboring village.
In the neighboring village, an old man had died. Although the government had imposed a cremation policy in the countryside, burial was still prevalent. This meant that after the dead were cremated, they would still be placed in coffins and buried in the cemetery. Every family had their own graveyard, which was left behind from the past.
If the old man's wife had died, a grave would be dug next to the original grave, commonly known as the bone. If they were still in the human world, they would choose a place to dig a grave and reserve a burial place in the human world. Those who were not married could not enter the ancestral grave. They were not included in this category and would be buried in another place, the mass grave. The female tomb was called the Orphan Tomb.
The things mentioned here were inevitably a little long-winded, so the book returned to the main topic. Because the wife of the deceased old man was still alive, according to common sense, they had to invite someone to choose a cemetery. In the countryside, it was also called: Stepping on the graveyard. After the cemetery was completed, they would hire someone to dig a grave.
The number of people who dug the grave was also particular. Usually, there were four or eight of them. It depended on whether the tomb owner died in winter or not. There was a grave near the hillside. There were also people who invited sixteen people. This was because it was summer. Plains again. Therefore, they only found four people to dig the grave. There was nothing strange about this. All four of them were in their prime. The grave was about to be dug. They were just waiting for the filial son to come and deliver some cigarettes, alcohol, food, and so on. It was commonly known as "cutting the line!" It meant that he was tired halfway. He wanted to reward her. After the fight. They were just waiting for the family to invite the four of them back for a banquet. Digging graves and not going back. It was the rule that banquets were not held.
Everything was normal. At this moment, an old man herding sheep came from afar. He saw the four of them smoking and chatting beside the grave. If he had nothing to do, he would go and smoke a cigarette. These four people were very generous because of the deceased's family. Everyone was given a lot of cigarettes. He was very satisfied. Therefore, everyone did not mind the old man's request.
The old man saw that the cigarette was not bad. He might as well chase the sheep to the side. And spit out clouds and mist. He chatted with the four of them.
The old man intentionally or unintentionally asked if one of them was born in the year of the rabbit. That person immediately replied yes! He asked the old man in surprise how he knew. The old man laughed and said,"You are all born in the year of rabbits!"”
The four of them confirmed with each other. You don't say. He looked like a dirty old man. He really had some skills! Anyway, the tomb was already finished. They were certain that the old man knew the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams and other strange techniques. He pestered the old man to read his fortune.
The old man saw that their expressions were unworthy. It was purely a joke. Make a joke out of it! Therefore, he only said,"You are in great trouble." He still had the mood to pester her here. You brought this upon yourself!" He stood up and was about to leave.
The four of them did not believe in ghosts and gods, but after hearing the old man's words, they were even more convinced that the old man was exaggerating, so they let the old man leave. However, after the old man walked away, the few of them remembered why the four of them were all rabbits. Could it be a coincidence? The old man didn't know them, so how could he know his zodiac sign? The few of them were confused about the tomb. After a discussion, they quickly dragged the old man back and asked him to tell them everything. They threatened the old man even more. If he didn't tell them, they would scatter all the old man's sheep.
The old man helplessly told them that this was Eagle Land. Nothing would happen if other zodiac signs dug graves. They were afraid that rabbits would come and dig. The eagle caught the rabbit. It meant that this tomb would kill the four of them like an eagle catching a rabbit. It was a great omen.
The four of them then asked if this was the tomb owner's son. The Feng Shui master who had been invited from other places had stepped on the tomb. How could it be a place of great danger?
The old man said," This place is a great misfortune for you, but it's the best for the family of the deceased. After the deceased is buried, all four of you will die an unnatural death. The family of the tomb owner will definitely soar in the future! This is a bluff from this family!"
"Then why don't we just fill up Lao Shenzi's lousy grave for him?”One of them said.
"The Eagle Land has already been formed. No matter how much you struggle, it's already too late! "Sigh…" The old man stood up and left after saying that. Seeing that the old man was about to leave, the four of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They hurriedly knelt down and asked the old man for guidance, and they promised to give the old man benefits.
The old man looked up at the sky and sighed." This is to reveal the secrets of heaven. This is a matter that will cost you your life. However, it seems that you are really ignorant and pitiful. Forget it!" I'm not far from the end of my life. Only my grandson is still young at home. How can I let my son down! If you agree to give me half of your assets, I will risk my life to solve this situation for you.”
When the few of them heard that the old man wanted half of their family property at any time, they were all skeptical, but they still agreed! Only then did the old man explain the method to break Eagle Land.
The old man told the four people to pretend that they didn't know anything and go back for the banquet. When they carried the coffin to the graveyard and fixed it with hemp ropes, the four people let go of the hemp ropes and ran in four directions. Even if the emperor told them not to look back, they would not go back until they were 100 steps away. After drinking some cold water in their own vats, they covered themselves with big quilts. It would be fine after a while!
Because Liu Wuhua didn't hear it with his own ears, he couldn't get the gist of it. In fact, even if he heard it, Hua Zi couldn't understand it with his knowledge at that time. However, it was said that everyone who was present at the time saw blood flowing out of the coffin! That was a cremated corpse…
The story happened in a very recent era. Under the premise that the country strongly advocated against feudal superstitions, it was really puzzling, so Hua Zi remembered it very clearly.
Coincidentally, in the village near Grandpa, a strange thing happened not long after. The family of the deceased insisted on finding four people who were born in the year of rats to dig a grave for the deceased! In the end, no one dared to go. Later, according to Grandpa, as long as the tomb owner was buried before dark, one of the four people who dug the grave would definitely die!
No wonder Liu Wuhua felt like he had seen this place before! No matter how one looked at it, it looked like Eagle Land had been tampered with. Why did he say that it had been tampered with? According to Hua Zi's feeling when he came down, this place was at least ten meters underground. There was a saying about the Eagle Land. He couldn't remember anything else, but he still remembered one thing. The tomb was two feet and eight inches deep. Once it exceeded this size, the Eagle Land would no longer be called Eagle Land. It would be better to change it into a mouse hole!
As for the words 'able to burrow into the earth', the person who left the message probably had the ability to burrow into the earth! Many stories from ancient times had such strange techniques. For example, Travelling Deity could run a thousand miles in a day and a night with just his legs. In that era without mechanical words, it was simply impossible!
Then what was this place? Liu Wuhua retracted his train of thought! As he did not understand the words below, he could not get the gist at all. He anxiously circled around the stone pillar! The light emitted by Cass was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the surroundings turned from warm to cold. If Hua Zi hadn't just returned from the hospital and was still wearing a long-sleeved shirt, he would have frozen!
Wait…there seems to be something wrong here! Everyone understood that the temperature underground was generally normal, around 16 degrees Celsius. The deeper one went, the closer it was to this value! That was why there was a saying that the newly pumped well water would be hot in winter and cold in summer. In fact, the temperature was based on the surrounding environment!
Things that couldn't be explained according to common sense were strange! Hua Zi thought about it carefully and then looked at the surrounding environment. He fell into confusion.
