The reason why Mr. Daqing Wang didn’t answer me before was because he wanted me to figure it out on my own.
But I have no clue about this matter. After all, judging from my grandfather's methods, every step he made was perfectly arranged, and there was no way he could become someone else's pawn. So I still stick to my previous view, thinking that Mr. Wang might be a false person.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Mr. Wang turned his head and glanced at me, put the plane on the coffin lid again, and then asked me, do you think I am making things out of thin air?
Mr. Wang saw through my little thoughts, and I was a little embarrassed, so I smiled awkwardly at him.
As a result, before my mouth could even open, Mr. Wang, who had quick eyes and quick hands, threw a copper coin at me and hit my mouth. The pain was so painful that I couldn't help but scream.
Mr. Wang said angrily, "You dare to laugh even in the mourning hall. Do you really think you have a long life?"
I don't know what this means, but common sense tells me that laughing in the mourning hall is indeed not an advisable thing. It may offend the deceased ancestors, and then he may be entangled with him.
I couldn't help but shudder when I thought of the scene of Chen Guzi smiling at me with a tearful grin on the mountainside.
After Mr. Wang threw the copper coin at me, he did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he pushed the plane forward with both hands and smoothed out the gap left by the first copper coin. The lid of the coffin was intact as before. Not a single gap can be seen.
Taking this opportunity, I quickly glanced at the positions of other copper coins and found that they were distributed on both sides of the straight line, with different positions from the straight line, and the distance between them was also different. There was no pattern.
But I don’t know why, but I feel like I’ve seen their shapes before. And it's a very common one, but I just couldn't remember what shape it was for a while.
It wasn't until Mr. Wang smoothed out the gaps left by the last copper coin that I suddenly realized, no wonder it felt so familiar to me. Isn't this the shape of the Big Dipper that you can see in the summer night sky when you look up?
Mr. Wang said, can you tell? This is called "Seven Stars to Suppress Corpses". Basically, any corpse can be suppressed, and it is more effective than nails.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but frown and said, why didn't I use this trick on my grandfather before?
Mr. Wang glanced at me sideways and cursed loudly, saying, "You are so stupid that you will die, I will tell you. This seven-star corpse suppressor can only suppress corpses. Is that a corpse of your grandfather?" That's 'immortal', why don't you call me Lang? Zhuxian Zhenmai?
After scolding, Mr. Wang found nails and slapped them one by one, driving the nails into the coffin lid, completely sealing the coffin.
Seeing that Mr. Wang was so angry, I quickly changed the subject and said, since my grandfather is so powerful, how can you be sure that my grandfather is someone else's pawn?
Mr. Wang looked at me and said, little baby, didn't you realize that your grandfather and Chen Guzi died in the wrong order?
Wrong order? What's wrong?
Didn’t it mean that my grandfather had no face, so everyone who was buried for him would die? It is very logical that Chen Guzi died behind my grandfather.
Mr. Wang said, you are stupid for counting balls. Think about it, if Chen Guzi can stage a scene where the portrait is in tears and the corpse is on a monument, then he might not be able to see that your grandfather has no face on his head?
I admit that Chen Guzi can see this, but even if he can see it, what does it matter?
Mr. Wang said, have you forgotten, what are the prerequisites for activating the Baili Corpse Monument Drop?
When I heard this, my mind buzzed, and I seemed to think of something in an instant. Then I looked at Mr. Wang with a shocked face and said, it was suicide!
Mr. Wang nodded and said, yes. Since he is going to take his own life, then maybe he, Chen Guzi, will build a dojo for your grandfather, or maybe he will send him up the mountain with his own hands? Didn't he send it to your grandfather to kill Mai?
If this is the case, then Chen Guzi did not commit suicide, and it is impossible for him to make the portrait cry, let alone activate the Baili Corpse Monument!
However, everyone present that day clearly saw the portrait of Chen Guzi crying. This was definitely not an illusion!
so……
Mr. Wang said, that's why I said it, your grandfather and Chen Guzi died in the wrong order. Normally speaking, Chen Guzi should have died. Your grandfather found out that he was going to build the Baili Corpse Monument, so he died early to intercept Hu Chen Guzi. But now, it's just the opposite, so something's wrong.
I was a little scared by what Mr. Wang said, so I imagined other possibilities. After a while, I thought of another possibility.
Didn't Mr. Wang say before that my grandfather discovered Chen Guzi's conspiracy in advance, so he died earlier than he originally planned?
Since it was discovered in advance, my grandfather could have died in front of Chen Guzi, and Chen Guzi could still go to the dojo. As long as Chen Guzi committed suicide before my grandfather activated the "Three Unfilial Piety", wouldn't it be completely consistent with Baili's rule? Are there any conditions for the corpse monument?
I thought that my idea was completely tenable, but Mr. Wang overturned me with one sentence. He said, since your grandfather is dead, why did Chen Guzi and Ziha want to build a Baili Corpse Monument?
boom!
My mind felt like it was exploding, and all my previous inferences were overturned.
Indeed, Chen Guzi created the Baili Corpse Monument just to kill my grandfather and take away his luck. Now that my grandfather is dead, there is no need for him to get the Baili Corpse Monument.
But maybe this is the only way to take away luck from my grandfather?
Mr. Wang said disdainfully, what's the use of taking away luck if everyone else is destroyed? Leave it to the next generation? The next generation will be driven away by me and that old gentleman, why should I stay here?
Indeed, as long as his portrait shed tears, even if Mr. Wang was not present at the time, the gentleman who gave him the dojo would persuade his wife and children to leave, and it would still be all in vain. In Mr. Wang's words, it is useless.
Mr. Wang continued, so the correct order should be: Chen Guzi died, and your grandfather found out that he was going to build the Baili Corpse Monument, so he didn't even have time to notify me, so he died early, and then used it to intercept Hu Chen Guzi.
I shook my head and said, this is impossible! I saw with my own eyes that Chen Guzi gave my grandfather a dojo for two days. Not only me, but also the villagers saw it. He was a living person, how could he die in front of my grandfather?
If he died, wouldn't it be a corpse for my grandfather to do the dojo? !
When I think about staying in the same hall with a corpse for two days, kowtowing and offering incense at his greeting, I feel a chill running down my back.
Mr. Wang stared at me and said, "Your grandfather can replace your portrait. Why can't Chen Guzi be your grandfather's dojo after his death?"
As soon as Mr. Wang said these words, all my defenses collapsed instantly. I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar. In the middle of summer, I couldn't help but tremble.
No, I don’t believe it. It’s impossible for someone as powerful as my grandfather to fail to count this.
Besides, even if this is the case, how can it prove that my grandfather is also someone else's pawn?
Mr. Wang said, because you said something before, you said that your grandfather must know all about the carpenter's skills.
Let me tell you, what’s wrong with this sentence? If my grandfather didn't understand the methods of the carpenter lineage, how could he possibly regard you as a pawn?
Mr. Wang said, there is no problem with this sentence, but the problem is, how can your grandfather know all the carpentry skills?
I don’t understand what Mr. Wang means. Let me tell you, didn’t you say before that the Luo court could learn the craftsmanship by just looking at the craftsmanship of other craftsmen? Can’t you tell me that my grandfather is also this kind of person?
Mr. Wang shook his head and said, you can tell it yourself, even people like Luo Chaoting have to watch others perform craftsmanship before they can learn it. Then where did your grandfather learn the craftsmanship of wooden door craftsmanship from?
Mr. Wang snorted coldly and said, "So, I bet that there is someone in your village who hides in the dark and is not known to anyone, but is extremely proficient in the craftsmanship of a carpenter!" And this person treats your grandfather----no, Gou Ridi, he treats your grandfather, Chen Guzi, and Ha Youlao as pawns!
