Chapter three hundred and eighty fourth: heavy trust
When Chen Zhi heard the name Muchenzhu, Chen Zhi's heart finally relaxed.
After struggling for so long, this is their ultimate goal. The secret hiding the tomb of Emperor Xin, King of Shang Zhou, has really been revealed in the Kong family...
This is really great...
"Has Muchen Bead always been in your hands?
Why?",
Chen Zhi looked at Kong Shoucheng and asked:
"Every treasure has its origin!!
Tell me about this bead.
Regarding its origin and what happens next, why is this bead in your hands?!!"
"I don't know the specific things!",
In fact, Kong Shoucheng was obviously a little frustrated.
"Everyone knows that our Kong family has been a noble family for generations, and has been a noble family in all dynasties.
The monarchs of the past dynasties also treated our Kong family well, gave us many possessions and treasures, and even told us the secrets they kept in their hearts.
In their minds, we are all saints and gentlemen, and we can keep secrets for them.
So we put these secrets in a treasure house. The location of this treasure house is only known to the direct clan leaders for generations. Those from the side branches don’t even know the existence of this treasure!!
Logically speaking, I am my father's only son.
This treasure house should be inherited and guarded by the next generation of clan leaders, but the rules have changed in my generation.
Because of my father's choice, starting from my generation, the treasure house of the Kong family has been placed in Qinghan's place.
Speaking of reasons, it's because of this Muchen Bead...
My father once said that this bead, unlike anything else, must never be lost.
This treasure has some origins and was passed down by our ancestor Confucius himself.
He also personally conveyed the strict order that the descendants of the Kong family must guard this bead strictly and never take it out of China or leak it."
"Transmitted by Confucius himself?" Chen Zhi immediately caught up with the historical time,
"That means that starting from the Spring and Autumn Period, this bead actually fell into the hands of Confucius?
How did he get it?"
"I don't know the specifics...",
Kong Shoucheng shook his head,
"All I know is what my father ultimately told me.
I heard that when our ancestor Confucius was traveling around, he once encountered a very remarkable king.
The king was so powerful that he was greedy for immortality, but later he found out that it was all a dream!!
At that time, he was already dying, with tears in his eyes. He put the bead into Confucius's hands and told the secret of the bead in his ear.
Confucius was immediately shocked and realized that this was a bead that could bring disaster.
You must not leak its traces to others, especially those who have the ambition to dominate the world, otherwise, the earth will collapse and collapse.
Because there is a secret hidden in this bead that can make people immortal!"
"Is there a secret to immortality..." Chen Zhi thought silently, and then asked:
"Then what?"
"Then this bead, together with other treasures, was placed in Qinghan's hands.",
Kong Shoucheng sighed and replied:
"Because of the sage's teachings, this bead can never leave the land of China.
So my father said:
"You should take refuge outside and keep the blood of our Kong family.
And this bead and the Kong family's treasure should be placed in Qinghan's hands.
Let him guard me and rest assured!!
Qinghan is no longer named Kong. If he is gone in the future, remember to come back and collect his body..."
My father passed away shortly after, and the funeral was hastily concluded. After that, I took my wife and family to Chongqing overnight.
Survived...
I don't know what happened after that.
At that time, there was no communication between mainland China and Taiwan, and my identity was very sensitive. I could neither ask nor interfere in matters here.
I only know that the mainland was very noisy at that time, and all kinds of things happened~~
Qinghan was filled in the well and never came out again.
I knew he was dead. No one could climb up the dry well. My father had deceived him.
However, there are always some letters written by him outside.
Those are his letters asking for help, begging others to save him, and begging someone to take care of the Kong family's belongings~~
I don't know what's going on.
I think it was because Qinghan hated me and my father after his death, turned into a ghost and wandered around the world, and didn’t want to forgive us!!”
Chen Zhi listened to Kong Shoucheng's story silently, knowing that he did not lie again.
In the end, perhaps out of a unique sympathy, he knelt down and looked at the nearly centenary old man.
"Mr. Kong, there is something I want to tell you now. Maybe you will feel better after hearing it...
First of all, the ghost you just mentioned definitely does not exist!!
Your cousin Kong Qinghan probably didn't die, he just couldn't get out, so he wrote a letter asking for help!!
As for how the letter was sent, I still don’t know~~
But the Confucian treasure trove you mentioned actually exists.
It has been hidden under your noses all this time, right under that well.",
When Chen Zhi said this, he turned around and looked at the well.
"Kong Qinghan must have stayed there for a long time. I don't know whether he is alive or dead now.
But I can fulfill your father's last wish, go down into the well and bring him out, and give him a resting place whether he is alive or dead."
Kong Shoucheng stared at Chen Zhi with chaotic eyes. After listening to these words, he was silent for a long time, and finally asked seriously:
"what about me?
What do you need me, old man, to do for you?"
"That's what I have to say!",
Chen Zhi looked at Kong Shoucheng and said,
"Mr. Kong, I need your help now.
Starting tomorrow, I need you to clear out this house and seal off everything outside. No one is allowed to come in, including security drivers, service staff, and relatives.
Only you and your grandson can stay in this house.
Then I will use this house as a base to lead the team down to the well. During this process, I cannot be disturbed in any way.
can you help me?"
"good!",
Kong Shoucheng nodded heavily, and then looked at the well:
“I am already half buried in the ground, there is nothing to be afraid of in this world!!
Only this matter..., I think there should be a result."
After dawn, Kong Shoucheng began to fulfill his promise and arrange all matters...
Of course, he himself is not allowed to show up. Now outside, he is not a living person. Suddenly jumping out can scare others to death.
His grandson Kong Shouren had to take part in everything.
After the child woke up in the morning, he listened to his grandfather's instructions and went down to carry out the instructions.
He first found a reason to evacuate the relatives and friends in the house, then withdrew the security and service personnel, and had people lock all the doors and close the small doors.
Then he only said that the Confucius Mansion needed to clean up the house, and that it would need to be vacant for a few days, and that all foreign guests would be refused. The rest was not elaborated on.
This is a tourist attraction, and there are many hotels outside. After the relatives evacuated, there was not much movement.
As a result, the large mansion became empty, and the best base was prepared for Chen Zhi and others.
During this period of time, Wu Jia also followed Chen Zhi's order to use the earth escape technique to get out of the ground and return to Fate Hall to get work clothes and other equipment~~
This one won't last long.
However, what I didn't expect was that when Wu Jia came back, he brought someone with him?...
