"What happened? What happened?" Li Dafu immediately asked nervously.
Butler Li came in such a hurry. If something happened, it must be quite serious. If it was a minor matter, Butler Li would not come to report it in person.
"Returning to the master, didn't I tell you to build a granary a few days ago?" Butler Li said: "But not long after the groundbreaking was started today, something happened. I heard that there had been deaths in the place where the construction was started, but the master still
Hurry up and take a look, the old slave doesn’t know the details clearly, but I heard the foreman who came over to tell me.”
"Is there such a thing?" Li Dafu suddenly said in shock: "Quick, my son will follow his father to have a look."
The loss of human life is a very important event no matter what era.
The Li family is a family of merchants, so they care more about this.
Outside the city of Guobei County, there is a small mound not far away. Because of the higher terrain, the site was chosen as one of the locations for the Li family to build a granary.
The construction was originally supposed to start today, but not long after it was built, the hill suddenly cracked, as if an earthquake had occurred. The workers were so frightened that they ran away shouting, and along with the previous violent sound
As a result of the vibration, huge gaps opened on the ground of the hill. Each gap was four or five feet wide, enough to fit a person into.
And because of the huge cracks in the ground, several workers accidentally fell into the cracks.
The crack in the ground is so deep that I don't know where it leads to. I just know that if one stands to the side, one can feel a cool cold wind blowing out, making a whining sound.
It's as if there is a whole other world inside.
"Did the vibration just come from here?" At this moment, Li Dafu, Li Xiuyuan and some guards from the Li family hurriedly arrived.
When everyone came here, they seemed to be surprised when they saw the huge cracks on the ground.
But what is even more surprising is the special feature of this crack.
It's so deep and bottomless that it doesn't look like it was shaken open by an earthquake, but it looks like it exists naturally.
"How many people fell?" Li Dafu asked the foreman hurriedly.
The foreman replied: "Four workers fell into the cracks in the ground."
"How could such a thing happen?" Li Xiuyuan asked; "Did you touch something that shouldn't be touched?"
This world is full of mysteries, and ordinary people can easily violate taboos and cause unexplained disasters if they are not careful. Such things are not uncommon.
The foreman's eyes were a little dodged and he said: "A few workers dug out a large vat while digging the soil. Those workers may have suspected that there was a treasure hidden in it, so they took a hoe and broke a piece of the vat body. Who would have thought that the vat body would be broken once it was broken?
Immediately there was a loud bang, and then the ground shook, and then cracks appeared on the ground, and they fell into the cracks."
"Where is the vat?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"It's on the raised spot in front." The foreman pointed to the area where the construction work was taking place.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Father, let's go and have a look. Maybe there is something evil causing trouble."
"My son, please don't be reckless. Since the place here is unlucky, we might as well choose another piece of land. Let this place be deserted, and don't worry about whether there are evil things or not." Li Dafu said.
It is not a very important thing to discard a piece of wasteland.
On the contrary, if something evil is really provoked because of this matter, that would be a very bad thing.
Li Xiuyuan said, "Father, I don't know if there is something evil here, but since the commotion is so loud, if we don't find out, it may still happen. Now that we have discovered it, we can't ignore it."
"You can send guards, and my servants will go over and check it out. I don't need to do it myself." Li Dafu said, and after speaking, he motioned to the guards around him.
The guard nodded and immediately went to investigate.
However, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand to stop him: "If there is really something evil, it would be a disaster if the guards go to investigate. So, let me go with the guards, so that I can be taken care of."
He is not close to ghosts and spirits, so naturally he is not afraid of any evil things.
After saying that, without waiting for his father's consent, he waved his hand to five or six guards, and then walked towards the raised rabbit mound.
"My son, be careful." Li Dafu called hurriedly.
"Young Master, just leave this matter to the younger ones. You can just rest here." One of the guards said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "The commotion this time is a bit big. I'm afraid that the matter is serious. It's better to go and take a look, otherwise I won't feel relieved."
When everyone walked over, they discovered that there was indeed a large vat in the raised mound.
The large vat looks very old, with a history of many years, and the style is a bit primitive, not a modern product.
It can be seen that this large vat is at least several hundred years old, maybe even further.
The large vat was placed upside down. There was a gap in the vat body, and a hoe was piled next to it. It was broken by someone's hoe.
"Crack the vat and see what's inside," Li Xiuyuan said.
To be on the safe side, he still untied the jade belt around his waist and let the aura envelope it. If there was really an evil spirit, then he could also block the evil spirit's Taoism and mana, making it lose the ability to do evil. If there was an evil spirit hiding in the vat.
If so, it can be expelled in time to ensure that the lives of those in the past will no longer be in danger.
The guard responded, drew his sword and walked over cautiously.
He slashed the tank several times, and with a final bang, the tank immediately fell into pieces.
However, the scene inside the tank shocked Li Xiuyuan and the guards.
There was actually a person sitting cross-legged in the tank, an old man wearing gorgeous clothes, with hair hanging down to the ground, and covered in dust. The good old man looked white-haired, but in fact he looked like he was only thirty or forty years old. He was not special.
The old kind.
In addition, this man's hands were hanging on his legs, and his long nails were curled up as if they had not been trimmed for many years.
"Young Master, it's a dead body." The guard said after regaining his composure after being frightened.
Li Xiuyuan glared and said, "How can a dead body not rot after being kept here for so many years? And look at that person's complexion, there is still blood. He doesn't look like a dead person at all."
Not a dead person, but not an evil spirit or a ghost.
Could it be a zombie?
But then he shook his head, it couldn't be a zombie, zombies don't look like this.
Just when he was guessing, suddenly.
The old man sitting cross-legged in the vat suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. The first thing he said when he woke up was: "What year and month is it now? Which dynasty is it?"
Although he opened his eyes, he remained motionless, like a wooden sculpture.
"This is the Song Dynasty. I wonder which dynasty this old man is from?" Li Xiuyuan walked over, gave a salute and said.
Judging from the old man's tone and clothing, he is from ancient times, not from this recent dynasty.
The old man asked again: "Which dynasty was the Song Dynasty? How long was it between the Song Dynasty and the Han Dynasty?"
"More than a thousand years apart." Li Xiuyuan said.
"More than a thousand years? That's really a long time." The old man seemed to be recalling, and it was obviously not difficult to infer from his words that he was an ancient man from the Han Dynasty.
As for why this man was dug out while sitting in a large vat, it is unknown.
"Why did you dig me out before I was born?" The old man suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said: "I am a Taoist cultivator in the Han Dynasty. Because my life is not long, I practiced Taoism.
The Earth Immortal's method can achieve the underground status as long as the merits are perfect, but you dug it out in advance before today, ruining my chance of becoming an Earth Immortal."
"We broke ground to build a granary and accidentally dug out the Taoist priest. It was really an unintentional act." Li Xiuyuan bowed and apologized.
The old man didn't seem angry, but asked, "What are you doing digging the granary?"
"Store food."
"Why are you hoarding? Do you want to sell them at a high price during disasters?" the old man asked.
"No, it's to provide relief and rescue people during disasters." Li Xiuyuan said.
The old man sighed and said: "Your words are sincere and not lies. So it is a good thing for you to build a granary here today. In the future, countless people will live and your merits will be immeasurable. I really can't take revenge on you. It seems that my path to earthly immortality is
