Zuo Jiajun had a confused look on his face and muttered the three words Shi Shanliang, but his expression obviously told Ye Tian that he had never heard of this name.
Although Zuo Jiajun only came to Hong Kong a few decades ago, he has been in and out of Hong Kong's super wealthy families. However, Zuo Jiajun racked his brains at this moment and did not expect any wealthy family to have the surname Shi?
You must know that the burial period of this dragon's cave is not short, it is at least more than 150 years ago. In other words, the descendants of the people in this tomb must have been rich and powerful, but they are still the same.
Such a precious person.
It's just that when Zuo Jiajun looked back at the modern tycoons in Hong Kong, there was no one with the surname Shi. This made him scratch his head. He looked at Ye Tian and said: "Junior brother, there really are no rich people named Shi in Hong Kong. Could it be that this formation doesn't exist?"
Will it work?"
Ye Tian shook his head and said: "It's impossible. The Seven-Star Array is an unheralded secret of our lineage. Since this senior can arrange it, he will definitely wait until the array is operational before leaving."
While Zuo Jiajun and Ye Tian were talking, Gou Xinjia was reading the inscription on the monument carefully, his face changing from time to time. After hearing the argument between the two, he said: "You two, stop discussing over there, come here.
Look at the words on this inscription."
"Elder brother, what's wrong?" Ye Tian and Zuo Jiajun looked at Gou Xin's family at the same time.
Gou Xinjia shook his head and said with some regret: "The person who arranged this Feng Shui Yin House is indeed a senior in our sect. You will know after reading it."
"oh?"
Ye Tian and Zuo Jiajun were so surprised that they did not continue to argue, but carefully studied the words on the tablet. This story from more than a hundred years ago appeared in front of them.
It turned out that the owner of this sarcophagus was not a wealthy businessman, but a stonemason who was at the bottom of society at that time.
When the stonemason named Shi Shanliang was twenty-eight years old, that is, in 1842, Hong Kong came under British rule and the status of the Chinese dropped to its lowest point.
Fortunately, Shi Shanliang has the ability to carve stone tools. Although life is difficult, he can still survive. Occasionally, he can get a business to improve his life.
Normally, Shi Shanliang's life should have passed by in such an ordinary way, but a very accidental thing changed his fate, no... I should say it changed the fate of his descendants.
In 1855, Shi Shanliang took over the job of carving stone lions. This business could ensure that his family of three had enough food and clothing for several months.
At that time, Hong Kong had little awareness of environmental protection. Fishermen depended on the sea to feed themselves, and stonemasons naturally depended on the mountains. After calling a few people, Shi Shanliang prepared to go up the mountain to select suitable stones.
However, when a group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain, they found a dying old man covered in blood in the grass, with seven or eight stab wounds on his body.
Although Shi Shanliang was just a stonemason at the bottom of society, he was very kind-hearted at the bottom of his heart. Seeing the miserable appearance of the old man, he felt compassion and carried the old man back home without even picking the stones.
Shi Shanliang's parents died young, leaving only his wife and a thirteen-year-old daughter at home. After personally cleaning the old man's body, he asked his wife to kill the only hen that laid eggs in the family.
After Shi Shanliang's meticulous care, the old man's body recovered very quickly. He was able to go to the ground in three days. After half a day, the stone roller in the yard seemed like nothing in his hands.
Shi Shanliang also knew at this time that he had saved a strange man. However, he was not the kind of person to repay kindness, and he had no parents. The old man did not leave, so Shi Shanliang supported him like an elder.
One day a year later, the old man suddenly called Shi Shanliang into his room and told him that his wife's time was approaching and she would die in the next few days, and there was nothing he could do.
Sure enough, one day later, Shi Shanliang's wife died without any illness. After his wife's funeral, the old man said something more to Shi Shanliang, telling him that his life was low and that he only had three years to live.
According to the old man's words, if he could have helped Shi Shanliang change his life before he was injured, he would have gained a few more years of life. However, after the injury, his vitality was severely damaged, but he would no longer be able to do so.
Shi Shanliang was also an open-minded person. He told the old man at that time that it didn't matter what happened to him, but he hoped that the old man could make his descendants happy and healthy.
After thinking about it for a long time, the old man agreed to Shi Shanliang's request, but told Shi Shanliang that since he only had one daughter, this blessing would be passed on to the descendants of Shi Shanliang's daughter, and those descendants would no longer be named Shi.
Shi Shanliang really wanted to be open-minded. No matter what the descendant's surname was, his blood would still be continued in his body. He immediately begged the old man to make arrangements for him very firmly.
From that day on, apart from taking on some normal jobs to make a living, Shi Shanliang spent the rest of his time building his own sarcophagus. It took two years to build the sarcophagus.
Three days before Shi Shanliang's end, the old man brought him to this place and asked him to dig a pit five meters deep in the ground and place the sarcophagus inside.
After doing all this, Shi Shanliang died suddenly overnight, as the old man said, and no one could find out the cause of death.
Because Shi Shanliang was a kind man and the neighbors knew his last wish, they helped the old man and his daughter bury him in the sarcophagus that had been dug in the cemetery.
At the bottom of the inscription, the old man left his name. His surname was Li, his single name was Yuanzi, his Taoist name was Li Yuanzi, and he was the forty-sixth generation sect leader of the Mai lineage.
In order to avoid the war, Li Yuanzi came to Hong Kong from the mainland, but he did not expect that a hostile sect also came here to avoid trouble.
Compared with Mai's lineage, which was not prosperous, the Qimen sect had prosperous branches and many disciples. After a life-and-death fight, although Li Yuanzi killed all the opponents, he was also seriously injured.
At the end of the inscription, Li Yuanzi left a note saying that he had exhausted all his energy and blood to deduce the performance. More than a hundred years later, someone from the Mayi sect would see this inscription and they should repay the favor by finding a place with excellent Feng Shui for the person in the sarcophagus to be buried.
Shi Shanliang’s life-saving grace.
Seeing this, Ye Tian was shocked and suddenly realized that the biggest mystery in Mai's lineage had been solved inadvertently.
Ye Tian once heard from his master Li Shanyuan that when the Mai lineage was passed down to the 46th generation, that is, in the middle of the 19th century, it happened to encounter the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, and the contemporary sect leader Li Yuanzi disappeared.
Since many of the core spells of the Mai lineage were passed down by the sect leader alone, and Li Yuanzi's two apprentices at that time failed to obtain the core inheritance, this also led to the lack of spells in the Mai lineage for the next hundred years.
Most of it.
This is the story on the inscription. Not only is the identity of the owner of the sarcophagus far beyond the imagination of Ye Tian and others, the person who arranged the Feng Shui Yin Point is also a figure of the patriarch level of Mai's lineage.
The story engraved on the stone tablet by Li Yuanzi allowed brother Ye Tianshi to learn what happened that year after a hundred years. For a while, several people felt as if time and space were reversed.
After reading this record, Ye Tian and Zuo Jiajun couldn't help but look at each other. If Li Yuanzi hadn't used many hidden secrets, it would be hard for them to believe this twisted and bizarre story.
"Sigh, I don't know what happened to Patriarch Li Yuanzi in the end? Why didn't he pass on the inheritance in the sect?"
Gou Xin's father sighed, Qimen's emphasis was on acting against nature, and their consequences would be a bit more bleak than those of those in the world.
Just like Gou Xinjia himself, of course, if he didn't use the golden cicada to escape from his shell, he would have become a bowl of loess. But even so, he has endured nearly half a century of loneliness.
"Perhaps the inheritance in Maoshan Taoist Temple was left by Patriarch Li Yuanzi?" After hearing what the senior brother said, Ye Tian had a strange idea in his mind.
Because Li Shanyuan once said that he accidentally discovered this Mayi Taoist temple and that it probably existed for more than a hundred years. In terms of time, this coincides with the time when Li Yuanzi disappeared.
It can be boldly inferred from this that perhaps Li Yuanzi once lived in seclusion in Maoshan and found a Taoist temple built in such a place. However, he had no choice but to leave when the war spread to Jiangnan.
The more Ye Tian thought about it, the more excited he became. However, the matter of him accepting the inheritance was too fantasy. Except for telling the old Taoist, no one in the world knew about it. However, he could not discuss it with his two senior brothers at the moment.
"Huh? Second senior brother, you...what's wrong with you?"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ye Tian raised his head, but found that Zuo Jiajun's face was flushed, and his expression seemed to be a little more excited than himself. Ye Tian suddenly became puzzled, could it be that the second senior brother could also read minds?
Do you know what is in your heart?
Zuo Jiajun looked around and said mysteriously: "I...I know who the owner of this sarcophagus is."
"Second Senior Brother, aren't you talking nonsense?"
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said angrily: "Not only do you know, senior brother and I, but also Xiao Tiandingding also know that this man's surname is Shi, and his name is Shi Shanliang."
"That's right, Junior Brother Zuo, is the identity of the owner of this sarcophagus clear?"
The Gou Xin family also laughed. The name of the owner of the sarcophagus was clearly written on the inscription, and his second junior brother also showed it off, leaving them baffled and confused.
"Hey, I...I'm not talking about him."
Zuo Jiajun became anxious and said: "I am talking about his descendants, that is, the identity of his daughter's descendants. That... that was the richest man in Hong Kong!"
At this point, Zuo Jiajun's voice suddenly lowered a bit, and he said: "Let's transport the stone tablet home first. Don't spread a single word of the content on the stone tablet, otherwise we will get into trouble."
