Luo Laoqi tied up Boss Gong tightly. The Taoist with a grimace was worried that it was not safe near the river, so he asked everyone to take Boss Gong back to the mountainside. When they got to the place, the Taoist with a grimace got straight to the point and said, "What are you looking at with that ghostly head on the river? Who are you waiting for to come out?"
"The old man just happened to be passing by. He felt curious and took a look inside. What was the hero talking about?"
"Beat!" The grim-faced Taoist priest waved his hand and told Luo Laoqi to go directly to the execution. He said impatiently: "Grandma's poor Taoist has focused her words on this. How dare you pretend like that? It doesn't matter if you don't tell the truth. Look at you. This skin is no longer strong."
Luo Laoqi was saved and snorted coldly: "It just so happens that your hands are itchy and your skin is itching too." He rolled up his sleeves and fired left and right at Boss Gong's face. The slaps were a series of crackling sounds, as if a firecracker was lit in the woods.
He Siniang saw that Luo Laoqi was getting more and more excited as he beat him. He still showed no intention of stopping after twenty or thirty beatings, so she quickly tugged on his clothes and whispered: "Lao Qi, please stop now. If you hit him on the head again, it will be gone." "
Luo Laoqi stopped when he heard this. Boss Gong's eyes were in a daze at this time, and his cheeks were swollen. Lao Gao said feebly: "Okay... stop fighting, good man, I will say anything."
"Damn you, you are just a cheap person. If you don't suffer some hardships, you won't be honest. Hurry up and explain your brothers' conspiracy to me!"
After being beaten, Boss Gong finally realized that these people in front of him were not good people. If they continued to argue, his life would be lost. He had no choice but to tell the cause and effect.
As guessed by the Grimace Taoist priests, the Gong family is really the descendant of Zhao Jiuxiang. The descendants who changed their surname lived in Yangliu Village near the Huiwang Tomb. They were hunting hunters on the surface, but secretly they always held the responsibility of guarding the tomb. .
The ancestral motto of the Gong family is very strange. This ancestor's royal mausoleum can only be entered and exited at night, and it must not be set foot in during the day. Moreover, around the beginning of spring every year, three corpses must be brought in to pay tribute. The corpses must not rot, and it is best to be freshly dead. Yes, after transporting it in, it has to be taken to a stone gate at the bottom of the cliff in Beishan. There is an altar deep in the stone gate. The person who places the body on top will immediately exit and wait until the spring of the next year to enter again the next year. The corpse will disappear, and not even a single bone residue will be found near the altar.
The stone gate that Boss Gong mentioned was not far behind the tomb of the government. It was hidden in the weeds and difficult to find. After the three Taoist priests with grim faces came out of the tomb of the government, they did not choose to continue searching to the bottom of the northern cliff. We retreated to the city wall, so this path was ignored. Now it seems that this stone gate is likely to lead directly to the Nine-Turn Pagoda at the bottom of the valley. The corpses used in annual memorial ceremonies are also used to feed the Yin Hui. As for why we chose this Is it possible that the reason why we hold memorial ceremonies around the beginning of spring is because the snakes also have to hibernate, and they are the hungriest when they wake up in the beginning of spring?
Boss Gong said that his three brothers have always followed the instructions of their ancestors and searched for newly buried corpses every spring. They have lost count of how many tombs they have dug over the years, but there are only a few nearby villages. It was far from enough to meet the needs of the three of them. In the end, the three brothers discussed it and decided to take a different approach and let out the news that there was a treasure in the tomb of King Hui, so as to attract the money-seeking ghost to come to the door. The three brothers only had to ambush Just wait and collect the bodies in the mausoleum area.
"So, the gold medal of King Hui was picked up by Gong Laoer in the river, and you made up the story too?" the Taoist priest asked with a grimace.
"Yes, the 'Ling of the King of Snakes' is a treasure passed down from generation to generation. It has been treasured by the old man in this generation. It was not picked up."
"Haha, in order to attract people here, you are really willing to spend a lot of money. All the ancestral treasures have been sold. Then Gong Laoer is not dead?"
"The second brother is really dead. A group of tomb robbers came here more than a month ago... There can be four or five people trying to find the treasure. The second brother had no chance to make a move, so he was blocked in the tomb area for the whole night. When he arrived at the third The next evening, when the old man and the third son went in to search, the second son and the other senior men had already been poisoned to death."
"You deserve it! You deserve it." Luo Laoqi scolded: "You can't imagine these harmful tricks. Not only do you want to dig up people's graves, but you also want to kill people. The Sa family doesn't feel sorry to see that all three of your brothers died in it. "
Luo Laoqi spoke with great righteousness, as if he had completely forgotten what he was doing. The grim-faced Taoist priest and He Siniang were not as shameless as him. They were a little embarrassed when they heard this. He Siniang hurriedly interjected: "Then what did you just say? Are you waiting for Gong Laosan?"
Boss Gong nodded and replied: "The third child and his mother-in-law have been in the valley for several days, but there is no news yet. The old man is waiting anxiously, but his legs and feet are not good enough to enter the city wall in the valley, so he can only come here every day to take a look from a distance. , but there has been no news at all in a few days, I’m afraid they..."
The Taoist priest with a grimace glanced at the valley and saw that the miasma was prevailing there. Gong Laoer and his wife must have died long ago. He was too lazy to tell Gong Lao Daming that the three brothers were despicable and could dig up corpses and feed them to snakes for the sake of family selfishness. When there were not enough corpses, he even set up a trap to lure the living people into the tomb. Now that he had fallen into this fate, he was entirely to blame. He felt that the whole story was almost straightened out, and it was no longer difficult to get other information from Boss Gong, so he untied the rope. Let him go.
Luo Laoqi saw this and said in confusion: "Why don't you just kill this bird man? If he is released, it will be a disaster sooner or later."
When Boss Gong heard this, he was so frightened that his legs weakened and he wailed: "Old man, I swear that I will never do anything harmful to nature again. Please spare my life, gentlemen!"
"This is the only one left in the old Gong family who is so sick and weak. What kind of monster can he make?" The grim-faced Taoist priest said and waved his hand to Boss Gong: "You go away and swear to go back and tell God. We have nothing to do with it."
After hearing this, Boss Gong rolled down the mountain with three steps and three thanks. When the others were gone, the Taoist priest with a grimace smiled and said: "These old Gong brothers are really the best. They are the ones who specialize in fishing for mushroom gates by throwing out bait. Fortunately, the three of us came out alive." Otherwise, it will be a 'good story' if it gets out, and I don't know which group the four or five unlucky guys who died before were colleagues of."
"What the heck, as long as we can survive, I didn't expect the Taoist Master to spare Boss Gong's life."
"It doesn't make any sense whether to kill him or not. Anyway, we have figured out the whole story. We are not planning to enter the valley again. He cannot threaten us."
"Why did you change your mind again? Didn't you agree to go in and move the dragon chair out in the evening?"
"What the hell, this thing has been a trap from beginning to end, so we are definitely not the only ones who got the news. Didn't you see that a lot of fishermen died in it before? The outlet here is far less tight than we imagined. , something might change if we stay here any longer. Besides, how heavy is the dragon chair? Can it be moved by just the three of us?"
"If you can't move it, you can just break it off..."
"Your fucking arms are bulging. Don't think that I don't know what I'm carrying. Do you want to become a fat man in one bite? I'm not afraid of choking you to death! Don't think about entering the valley. Let's rest here for a while and then take advantage of the opportunity. Before the sun sets, hurry back to Tianshui City."
