17. Underwater grave
17. Underwater grave
On the third day I went back, I found a strange thing. The second master was obviously upstairs. When I sneaked up, he was gone, but when it was time to dinner, he came down again. I knew that there must be something on the second floor.
The half-length person has never appeared again. I think there should be a secret road on the second floor. If possible, it is the door to the backyard is a decoration, and you don't go into the backyard at all.
I paid attention to the second master, and the second master still seemed to be the same.
"Second Master, when will we return to the lake? I'm afraid that Li Fu will go in and break the tomb.
"He doesn't have that ability, at least he can't get in now."
I don't know why the second master said this.
At night, I quietly went up to the second floor. The second master was not here, so I sat in a chair. I wanted to see where the second master was going to come from.
Due to midnight, I felt strange. The chair moved to the window by itself, and then the second master came out of the ground like a ghost.
I looked at the second master. The second master climbed up and didn't notice me. When he turned around, he saw it. He was shocked and then roared, "How many times have I told you? The second floor is not where you came from. Get out of here.
I rolled down. When I got up in the morning, the second master didn't go downstairs to eat. I thought it would be better to starve to death. I stood outside the yard and looked at the mountain in front of me. There were several scattered families, as if no one lived there.
When the second master left, it was in the afternoon. He looked at me and said, "Remember, upstairs is not where you go."
The second master left, he walked forward, and I went upstairs with my back foot. I'm not a two-year-old child. You can say whatever you say.
I pushed the chair, and a hole was exposed below. I climbed down. It was a dark corridor. I walked along the dark corridor. After more than ten meters, I opened a door and arrived at the backyard.
There is an archway in the backyard, which is made of stone. Under the archway is a square platform, which is also made of stone. In the middle is a well. I walked over and looked down, there is a large, square space, but the water inside is full. With a well mouth, this is just a well, but this well is special.
It's just a well. Why didn't the second master let me in? This archway is also very strange. There is nothing written about it. There is not even a flower carving on it.
I don't know who this archway is for. I can't see it. There is nothing else in the backyard except this archway. It's very clean. It seems that the second master is cleaning every day. I don't know what it has to do with the second master.
After I went back, I thought about it. The second master came back at night. I heard footsteps and I didn't go out. The second master didn't find that I went to the backyard.
The next day, the second master said, "I want to leave here for three days. During these three days, you have to guard the second floor and backyard. No one can enter."
When the second master left, I sat on the second floor and looked at the yard every day. I thought that no one would come to this place, but I didn't expect that on the night the second master left, there was a shadow in the yard. On the other side of the corner of the courtyard, the door was not open. What kind of shadow was that? I looked closely, it was a human shadow, half a person, I broke down in a cold sweat, and the half of the person talking to the second master came.
When I stood in the middle of the yard, I hid in the window on the second floor and looked down. The man entered the room and went up to the second floor. I stood at the stairs. The man looked at me and I trembled. The man's face was pale and I couldn't see below.
"Who?"
"Friends of the second master."
"He is not at home. Please go out. When the second master is not at home, he doesn't want other people to come."
The man hesitated for a moment and was behind me. I turned around. The man laughed at me, and I trembling with fear.
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. I just want to see the second master's backyard."
I stopped the man, and I knew there was a way to stop him. The man pushed the chair away and went down. I pulled his clothes and caught nothing. I followed and said, "You can't do this. You and the second master are friends, and you shouldn't do this."
The man didn't say anything, pushed the door, and then shouted strangely, and the man suddenly turned into a red cotton-padded jacket. I shouted in horror, turned around and ran upstairs. I pushed the chair back and ran back to the room.
The red quilt is really scary. I feel that this old house is too abnormal. How can this happen? It drove me crazy. I pushed the door and turned into a red cotton-padded jacket. I don't know what's going on. Anyway, I dare not go upstairs again.
I waited for the second master to come back. This two didn't crawl back until three whole days. He carried things on his back and went hunting. He threw them on the ground and said, "Pack them out, then leave one to eat, and the rest in the snow."
"I think I should tell you that there is a red cotton-padded jacket in the dark corridor."
The second master's heart was stunned and went upstairs. A few minutes later, he came down with the red cotton-padded jacket. He threw the cotton-padded jacket into the yard, then poured oil and lit it.
The cotton-padded jacket screamed, which scared me to jump more than three feet high. The second master looked back at me and said, "Why don't you jump on the roof?"
I thought to myself, you two, don't tell me, I know what's going on? Just want to scare me to death.
The cotton-padded jacket screamed for half an hour. When it was regarded as ashes, it turned out to be half a bone without a lower body.
"What's going on?"
"It's been a long time to say this. This person, or half-human ghost, has been making trouble here and enters the ancestral tomb. Unfortunately, half of the person can't enter the ancestral tomb. He has been making trouble. I told him not to try to go to that place by himself. If he goes, not only can't enter the ancestral tomb, but also nothing happens. Yes, there is no procrastination, and there is no reincarion. He doesn't listen, and that's it.
"What?"
The second master stared at me. He didn't like me to ask the truth. He hesitated for a long time and still said, "When this person died, he lost his lower body and was bitten by a beast. Such a thing happens every year in this village. If it is not for the whole corpse, it will naturally not be able to enter the ancestral tomb. They have been making trouble, becoming this kind of person with an upper body and no lower body. ."
"Is there a tomb here?"
"There are no tombs, but there are water mounds and underwater graves." After the second master finished speaking, I trembling.
I asked, "Is that the one in the backyard? Well?"
"Have you gone in?" The second master jumped up, and I jumped to the door to prepare to run. The second master sat down again and sighed and said, "I will tell you sooner or later that the other water mounds are the ancestral tombs of our family, and the half-length man is going to make trouble. If he hadn't forced him in, I wouldn't have destroyed him."
I was stunned for a long time. What do you mean?
"What do you mean?"
The second master said, "The eye tomb behind the waterfall is not the ancestral tomb of our family at all. In fact, that's whose tomb it is. I don't know. It's a shock."
The second master's method is in the end. This guy is actually learned. So, the water mound behind this yard is the ancestral tomb of our family, the underwater tomb.
"Is this underwater tomb the ancestral tomb of our family?"
"Well, in fact, only I know, no one else knows, and this is the last water mound in China." This makes me very mean, and I definitely didn't expect it to be like this.
"Can I go in and have a look?"
The second master said, "In the future, you don't have to worry. Sooner or later, you will see it. Remember, don't tell anyone. I brought you here. I feel that Li Fu seems to be aware of it, so I came here."
At night, the second master didn't sleep, and the smell of smoke came from upstairs. The second master must be worried about something. I am really surprised about the water mound. I know that Shen Wansan is a water mound, but I didn't expect that it should be a burial style in the south. Unexpectedly, it has existed in the north for hundreds of years. For thousands of years, it is really hard to say who will be sooner or later, but this is the last in China. The water burial style is confirmed, and this burial style is maintained all the time.
When the second master rolled down from upstairs, it was obviously caused by panic and slipped down. I think it's enough for him to chop if he doesn't fall down. After all, he is in his sixties. Unexpectedly, he jumped up and rushed to the yard. I followed him out, and Li Fu actually stood in the yard and smiled at my second master.
I held a stick, hid behind my back, and walked slowly. There was a stick on it. Li Fu screamed and ran away with his legs. This kind of person really makes me angry. He steals other people's things and is so bullish. If I don't beat him out, I don't have a temper. The second master patted me on the shoulder and said, "As soon as possible, this can't solve the problem. We can't kill him. Only letting him die is a good way." The second master sighed and went upstairs.
I sat at the door and kept thinking that Ji Xiaoqing didn't know what he was doing now. Will he come here? I don't know about this. It's also strange that Li Fu came here. He went to the mausoleum. Why did he come here? Maybe he couldn't get into the mausoleum and wanted to negotiate with the second master and let me run away with a stick.
Li Fu will come again, which is very certain.
Get up the next morning, and the second master said, "Go and invite Professor Liu. I have something to discuss with him." I was stunned for a moment. He was the most like Professor Liu's enemy. Why did he let me go to Professor Liu now? I didn't ask.
When I went to the lake, Professor Liu and Ji Xiaoqing were there, and there was a lot of equipment. There were many people. I didn't go there. Ji Xiaoqing saw me. She ran over and took my hand and said, "I miss you."
I hugged her and said, "Me too."
When Professor Liu came over, I said, "My second master wants to talk to you."
"Well, let's go now."
I took a look at Ji Xiaoqing, and Professor Liu said, "Let's go together."
I took them back to the big yard, and the second master came down and said, "Go upstairs!"
After we went upstairs and sat down, the second master said, "Professor Liu, I invite you to come this time. I also want to know if you have made any progress about the mausoleum?"
"No, we can't go in at all. The mouths found are closed. I'm also worried about this."
"I know this is your job, but excavating this mausoleum will destroy this mausoleum. You can enter it. When you enter the main coffin, the whole mausoleum will be destroyed, because it is designed like this, but I can go in, but I won't take you in. This time, I The main meaning is that we cooperate. I will take you through the three levels. After the three levels, you pass by yourself, but I have conditions, that is, you must take Li Fu in, and you and Li Fu go and say, don't mention that I take you in, and you will quietly follow behind. Of course, what I want to do? I can't tell you this.
After the second master finished speaking, I didn't understand for a while. What does it mean? You, a tomb guard, actually took them in. Do you have a bug on your head?
After Professor Liu and the others agreed, they left the next day. Ji Xiao took my hand gently and didn't want to let go.
After they left, the second master said, "Three days later, we will go down to the lake and go into the mausoleum."
"What do you mean?"
"You will understand then."
Three days later, the second master and I stood by the lake and looked opposite.
