When we arrived at the construction site, it was exactly noon, and Guo Ziping and Guo Xiaotong were already waiting for us at the construction site.
As soon as we met, Guo Ziping trotted towards me and said with a sad face: "Master Wu, what should we do? Three people died just after we started work. This is a huge loss."
"Boss Guo, you didn't spend much money to get this land, right? The feng shui of this place is not very good, so the price given to you by the above should not be expensive." The sloppy Taoist priest looked at him and said.
"The land price is indeed not expensive, but won't it cost me my life to do this?" Guo Ziping said very depressed.
"Boss Guo, when you buy land in the future, please ask someone to take a look at the feng shui first. Even if you don't ask Wu Jie, you can just ask Master Zhou to take a look. If you take advantage of small things, you will suffer big losses. Look at what happened. , the loss of money is small, but I don’t know how many people lost their lives because of this." The sloppy Taoist priest said calmly.
"Oh, who says it's not the case? I will learn a lesson in the future. If I take land again, I will ask Master Wu to show it to me no matter what." Guo Ziping said dejectedly.
While they were talking, I had already jumped into the pit where the coffin was buried and started searching carefully.
After searching around, I couldn't find anything of value. There was really nothing left.
Guo Ziping saw me rummaging around in the pit and asked, "Master Wu, what are you looking for? People from the Cultural Relics Bureau came here before and rummaged through it several times, but nothing was left."
"Boss Guo, did you find anything else before digging this tomb?" I asked reluctantly.
"I'm not sure about this yet. Let's call the foreman over and ask."
With that said, Guo Ziping called the foreman. A few minutes later, the foreman ran over, sweating profusely.
"Mr. Guo, what do you want from me?" The foreman bowed his head.
"Before those coffins were dug out, was there anything else in this place? Or after digging out, besides the coffins, is there anything else of value?" Guo Ziping asked.
"Mr. Guo, there's nothing, just a few broken coffin boards, which break when touched, and nothing else. All the workers present saw it, and people from the Cultural Relics Bureau also came, and they said it has no archaeological value, Qian Zhen It’s true, there really is nothing.” The foreman said, patting his chest.
"If you think about it carefully, broken wooden boards, talismans, stones and other things also count." I asked unwillingly.
The foreman thought about it carefully, and then said: "Well, when you said that, I really remembered something. It was a stone slab, somewhat like a tombstone. There seemed to be words on it, but I couldn't see it. It’s clear that the stone slab was broken into several pieces after it was carried away and lost by the workers.”
"Where did it go?" I asked quickly.
Intuition tells me that this slate seems to be the key to the problem.
"I'm really not sure about this. I can ask." After saying that, the foreman made a phone call. After a while, two workers came over.
After some questioning, I found out that the two workers had thrown the gravel slabs into the garbage dump as garbage.
It just so happens that work has been suspended for the past few days, and the garbage has not been cleaned up yet.
At that moment, I asked the two workers to take me to the garbage dump, and finally found the gravel slabs.
The stone slab had been broken into several pieces, and it took a few of us to piece it together with great difficulty.
There is indeed writing on the slate, but the writing is very blurry and the language is obscure. It is all in classical Chinese. Even though I am a top student, I still have a headache when I read it.
After studying for a long time, I finally understood the words on the stone tablet.
The meaning above is very simple. It is said that the Literary Prison was implemented during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. A scholar who lived in the suburbs of Yanbei wrote some specious articles. If the word "Ming" appeared in them, he was considered to be rebellious and treasonous. Heart, what are you going to do to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?
This was a serious crime at the time, so the whole family was beheaded and their heads were chopped off.
However, the scholar was full of grievances. He usually wrote articles and complained, but he had no rebellious intentions.
The scholar's rebellion failed in three years. Even though he had the heart, he didn't have the ability.
The stone tablet also said that the scholar's family of nine, including parents, grandparents, wife, several children, and a child with a yellow mouth under three years old, were all taken to Caishikou and beheaded.
The heads of a family of nine were hung on the city gate for public display, shocking the people.
The bodies were left in the wilderness and eaten by wild dogs.
As a result, the family of nine was very resentful. People in the village could always hear cries coming from the scholar's house in the middle of the night. They were so miserable that the owner of the village was so miserable that he could not sleep at night. .
Some people who were on duty saw a group of headless ghosts wandering back and forth in front of the scholar's house in the middle of the night. They were so frightened that they almost died.
Not long after, people began to die in the village, and they all died violently.
Some hanged themselves, some jumped from the cliff and fell to death, and some drowned in the river.
As a result, people in the village were in panic all day long.
Later, an old Taoist who was passing by saw the resentment in the village and asked someone to find out the reason. He felt sorry for the family.
In order to prevent more people from losing their lives in the village, the old Taoist found the headless corpse of the scholar's family that was abandoned in the wilderness, and asked the people in the village to pay for several thin-skinned coffins. After searching for a long time, he finally found such a coffin. In a place with extremely bad feng shui, a nine-coffin lotus array was placed here to seal the wronged souls of the nine members of the family, preventing them from coming out to harm others again.
At that time, no one dared to touch these corpses. If the old man had not restrained the corpses, the corpses would have been eaten up by wild dogs.
The stone tablet is to remind future generations not to dig up this tomb. Once it is dug up and the nine coffins are moved, or the coffins are contaminated with the breath of strangers, the resentment of the ghosts in the coffins will surge and continue to harm people. .
After doing what the old Taoist said, the village became peaceful and no one died violently. From then on, no one saw the headless soul at the door of the scholar's house, and there was no sound of crying. It seemed like everything Back to normal.
But as time goes by, hundreds of years have passed, and no one remembers this incident.
By accident, Guo Ziping bought this land to develop real estate, but ended up digging out the nine coffins, awakening the gangster who died unjustly, and continued to do evil.
After reading the history recorded on the stone tablet, I couldn't help but take a breath and briefly explain to everyone what was recorded on the stone tablet.
The faces of the people around him changed a lot, and they were terrified.
