Chapter 76: The Secret History of the Zhang Family
The ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Tianyu, was actually bitten to death by Shura. This is really unbelievable. It seems that Uncle Ye is good at throwing stones to ask for directions. It seems that things are getting bigger and bigger. So is this Rakshasa.
Yes, he didn’t come out early or late. He had to wait for us to come out. He deliberately found things for me and Da Dezi to do. What should I do? What should I do? I was thinking rapidly in my mind. At this time, Uncle Ye suddenly said
He slapped the table and said: No! I have to go find Mr. Zhang to find out. After saying that, he rushed out of the house.
When Dadezi and I saw Uncle Ye running out, we hurriedly followed him. We saw that the old magic stick’s legs and feet were still quite good, so he came to Zhang Guangting’s room on crutches. After the old magic stick pushed the door in, Zhang Guangting
When he saw Uncle Ye while he was having breakfast, he said: Xiaoye! Come over and have some.
Although Uncle Ye had a bad temper, he still didn't dare to get angry in front of Mr. Zhang. He suppressed the anger in his heart and walked up to Mr. Zhang and said: Mr. Zhang, I saw you come to your house this morning. He said to me, today
I have to choose a grave. I wonder if there is something unexpected going on here.
After hearing this, Mr. Zhang's face suddenly changed and he looked at Uncle Ye for a long time before saying: "Little Ye Zi, we have known each other for a long time. There are some things that I have not told you. In fact, what my boy said is true.
My ancestors were indeed eaten by Shura, and the tomb was just a tomb.
After all, Mr. Zhang is old and has never seen anything in the world. As the saying goes, people are old and smart, and horses are slippery. You can tell the clues just by Uncle Ye's words. It seems that Zhang's family is not simple. When Uncle Ye meets Mr. Zhang,
He was very honest with himself, so he smiled and said: Can you tell me what happened? Let us juniors know.
Mr. Zhang sighed and asked his attentive son Zhang Zhuo to call all the young and old men from the east and west courtyards. Everyone gathered here as if there was a general meeting. Mr. Zhang walked towards everyone with trembling steps.
After standing still in front of him, he thought for a long time and said: Today I have summoned everyone to tell you something. I originally wanted to take this matter into the coffin, but there are some things that need to be known to future generations. Today Xiao Yezi and Caixia
They are all here, I let them be witnesses
Mr. Zhang thought for a while and said: This is about the ancestors of my Zhang family. Maybe everyone has heard about it. My ancestors of the Zhang family were killed by that Rakshasa. This statement is quite correct. When talking about this, Mr. Zhang seemed to remember
That was when Zhang Tianyu, the ancestor of the Zhang family, had just moved to Hongtou Mountain. Since there were a lot of minerals here, Zhang Tianyu invested all his money here, bought land and organized people to go into the mountain to mine. The business was good.
It is said that it is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, but as soon as people have money, other ideas will come up. I don’t know who told Zhang Tianyu that there are rubies on the red mountain, and each of the rubies is the size of a cat’s eye.
Zhang Tianyu didn't want to get involved in this matter at that time. After all, he had a coal mine and lived a peaceful life. However, he couldn't resist the temptation. One day, a hunter who came back from the mountains came to the door of Zhang's house carrying a sack.
Wanting to sell the contents of the sack to the Zhang family, the housekeeper was shocked when he took a look at the contents of the sack. He ordered his men to entertain the hunter well and then went into the house to report to Zhang Tianyu that the contents of the sack were none other than those of Zhang Tianyu.
There are as many rubies as large and small as half a sack. You must know that selling these things to jewelers or foreigners can make a lot of money. You don’t have to worry about food and drink in the next life.
After Zhang Tianyu came out, the hunter brought the sack to Zhang Tianyu for a look. Zhang Tianyu only glanced at it and said to the housekeeper beside him: Leave all these gems. That night, Zhang Tianyu thought of going up the mountain to dig for gems. The next day, he
The village posted a notice asking for manpower. Everyone signed up when they saw the notice was sent by the Zhang family. At that time, the Zhang family was still relatively well-known in Hongtoushan. Now a team of 200 people was anxious. Zhang Tianyu was almost as anxious as anyone could see.
He chose a good time to offer incense and kowtow, and then took the two hundred people into the mountain. But who could think of it? This time entering the mountain became Zhang Tianyu and his family's eternal farewell.
Under the leadership of the Orion, Zhang Tianyu and the others soon discovered the location of the gems. Under Zhang Tianyu's order, everyone began to dig for gems. If they encountered small pieces, they would smash them with hammers. If they encountered large pieces, they would blow them up with explosives.
At that time, everyone was red-eyed. You must know that this gem can be regarded as a huge wealth. Who wants to live in poverty? Often when everyone is tired, the encouragement of Zhang Tianyu's words suddenly makes these poor people instantly happy.
gave rise to hope
Just the day before the accident, a group of people were inserting a detonator into the gap. There was a loud bang and the huge ruby was blown down. After the smoke cleared, Zhang Tianyu took everyone to watch.
Although the ruby was blown down, a bluestone appeared on the stone wall. Taoist charms were engraved on the bluestone. Everyone was stunned on the spot. One of them, who was sitting on the ground, said to Zhang Tianyu: Brother Zhang, I heard from the elders.
There used to be monsters in this red mountain. Finally, the gods sent by the Jade Emperor sealed the monsters in this mountain. I think we have dug a lot, so we should go back as soon as possible. If we anger the mountain gods, we can kill the monsters.
If we are released, we will all die here.
In the feudal society at that time, superstition had not yet been outlawed, so everyone thought it was an ominous sign. At this time, Zhang Tianyu was frightened by the strange scene in front of him and was stunned for a while and did not know what to do. Zhang Tianyu
He is usually good at giving, and people call him Zhang Dashan behind his back. But this time when Zhang Tianyu went to the mountains, he had no airs at all. He mingled with a group of poor farmers and everyone affectionately called him Brother Zhang. Now Zhang Tianyu thought about it, but he didn't want to give up.
Wealth, but for the sake of everyone's lives, he could not care so much. He ordered people to carry away the largest ruby and then went down the mountain.
To be honest, everyone is unwilling to give up. What is behind this bluestone slab? Some say it is a sealed demon, and some say it is a treasure left by the Qing Dynasty. There are different opinions for a while, just as we are going down the mountain
On the way, Zhang Tianyu seemed to have figured it out and said to the people behind him: Since everyone is so curious, let's dig up the bluestone slab when we get home and see what's inside.
Everyone cheered for a while. In fact, Zhang Tianyu thought about it again and again, and wanted to satisfy his curiosity about what was hidden in this mountain. When everyone went back, Zhang Tianyu asked his men to prepare the altar and prepare to personally sacrifice the red mountain.
After preparing the three sacrifices and nine rituals to the mountain god, Zhang Tianyu prepared to dig out the bluestone after offering sacrifices to the mountain god. Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and it seemed that it was going to rain. A strange phenomenon fell from the sky, and Zhang Tianyu was shocked.
Whether to dig or not, everyone looked at Zhang Tianyu expectantly. Finally, Zhang Tianyu gave the order, dig!
Time is running out and someone reported that the bluestone slab has been integrated with the mountain. If you want to open it, you must blow up the bluestone slab. Blow it up! Now Zhang Tianyu can't care about so much anymore. There is another loud noise, and the bluestone slab is blown up.
It exploded to pieces, and then there was an evil howl from the mountain. Everyone was shocked. Sure enough, a dark hole was revealed behind the bluestone. The hole was like a monster's big mouth, seeming to swallow up the whole world.
Usually at this time, Zhang Tianyu would order his men to go into the cave with torches and hatchets to take a look.
Two hours passed and no one came back. Zhang Tianyu secretly thought something bad and immediately ordered everyone to go down the mountain. At this time, the sky turned dark, and everyone walked around without knowing the direction, and finally went back to the entrance of the cave. At this time
Everyone realized that they had been hit by a ghost. Just when everyone was panicking, a strong wind suddenly blew through, and dozens of pairs of light green eyes popped out of the hole. Suddenly there was a monster! But it was too late.
In an instant, the things in the cave poured out, and the entire Hongtou Mountain turned into a hell on earth. The wailing of the people was endless, and even the residents at the foot of the mountain could hear it.
Early the next morning, some people came down from the mountain, but they were already injured. No more than ten people survived this time, and only two people from the Zhang family survived. After those ten people returned to the village,
Some of them were so frightened that they went crazy, and the rest were almost seriously injured. It was already half a year after these people were cured. At this time, after asking around, the Zhang family found out that Zhang Tianyu had led people up the mountain to dig for gems half a year ago.
, encountered a man-eating monster, and almost all 200 people died in Hongtuoshan, so the Zhang family had no choice but to build a tomb for Zhang Tianyu and bury it in the back mountain. The business of the Zhang family was also taken care of by Zhang Tianyu's two younger sons.
After the survivors who went up the mountain were rescued, they recalled the scene. It was really horrible. After the man told the story, the local villagers were all in danger. The Zhang family believed that this incident was caused by Zhang Tianyu to dig for gems.
So many people's lives were lost, so the Zhang family paid for someone from another place who knew how to exorcise demons. I heard he was an exorcist from the Ye family in the south.
After the expert came, he looked at Hongtou Mountain and said: This mountain was originally sealed with evil spirits and Rakshasa, but the villagers were ignorant and actually blew up the seal of their ancestors, and those monsters came out to cause harm to the people. After listening to the villagers
Then he hurriedly asked: Is there any way to get rid of these demons? The expert shook his head and said: This is all destined, this is God's will, God's will should be like this, how can it be beyond the power of human beings, before the expert left
When he was there, he said to the local villagers: As long as you don’t do any major construction work on the mountain in the future, those Rakshasas will not come out to harm people. Also, in the future, you should tie a piece of bloody pork on the door during New Years and holidays, so that you can be safe.
After the master of the Ye family left, the local villagers hung bloody pork on their doors during the New Year and festivals to ensure the safety of the residents.
After listening to Mr. Zhang’s story about the Zhang family, I felt that this matter is not that simple. Now those Rakshasa have come out to harm people again, and the purpose of our visit this time is to move the graves. Although it is not a major construction project, it is
We also have to work on the mountain, so for the safety of everyone, I am still going to meet those Rakshasa with Dadezi.
