Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 177: Queen Xiao's Gravekeeper
And my doubts reached an extreme point.
Is the T-shirt guy good? And the phrase, "He's the Zhang family." What's the story of our Zhang family?
With this doubt, we were invited to the mountains by wood. On the hill, standing in a thatched house, there was only a few simple pieces of furniture inside, which looked rather poor, not even electric and lit with candles.
On the table of the Eight Immortals facing the gate, there is a spiritual position with an ancient painting hanging from the spiritual position. On the painting roll, an ancient beauty with an audacious look at the door, somehow, I felt a faint sadness.
When the T-shirt man went in, he put on three incenses, nodded slightly at the ancient painting, and sat down next to the wood.
“Tell me.” T-shirt man: “If I can help you, we'll help you. ”
Wood's eyes wandered away, tears came down unconsciously and began to tell us his story.
Turns out, this mountain is the home of the ancient famous Queen Xiao.
And the wood, their ancestors, had been graced by Queen Xiao, so after Queen Xiao died, they voluntarily became Queen Xiao's tomb keeper.
In memory of Queen Xiao, the ancestors of the wood changed their surnames to Xiao, and we can see how much they admire Queen Xiao!
Queen Xiao was in abject displacement, having experienced a total of six husbands, and each husband was an emperor.
These include the famous Emperor Yang Guang!
To that end, the folk rumored that Queen Xiao Kev, every husband of hers, had died. Of course, this has a lot to do with the war at the time...
It is well known that kings of a country often have a strong desire for possession, and Queen Xiao remarries after their death, touching upon the inverse scale of kings of a country, so even after their death, there will be a resentment to haunt Queen Xiao.
Therefore, Queen Xiao lived to be eighty-one years old and spent her entire life experiencing the torture of her first five husbands. Even after her death, she would not be safe.
And on her, there was a shadow, the golden jade. According to the rumors, the gold clay was stolen by the Emperor from the ancient tomb, and itself had the function of hiding dirt. Therefore, after the death of Queen Xiao, all six of her husband, the unjust souls, were gathered in the clay clay.
After the death of Queen Xiao, the corpse was affected by the strong resentment of the Six Husbands, which led to the death of Queen Xiao shortly after the corpse. But being trapped in a coffin didn't hurt anyone.
It's just not safe to see Queen Xiao die every day, and the tomb keeper suffers. I had to find the gentleman and ask him how he could put Queen Xiao to rest.
The gentleman was a man who gave the tomb keeper a suggestion. That is the six dead souls, the reason why they haunt Queen Xiao is because the golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden golden
If we can find another six ghosts and replace them from the Golden Spirit, their grievances will naturally not be so strong, and Queen Xiao's problems will be solved.
In order to meditate on the death of Queen Xiao, the Gravekeepers found six people in the family, all willing to die for Queen Xiao!
That worked, Queen Xiao rested in peace. Instead, they were told that this approach would last only a hundred years. A hundred years later, those ghosts will be scattered by the tormented souls, and the souls of Queen Xiao's six-husband will be restrained again. So, a hundred years from now, we're looking for six more replacements.
At first, the Xiao family was very successful, and some were willing to sacrifice. But then the war broke out and the population fell sharply. If you have to, you can only find a replacement from the outside.
In order to make up for the guilt of the scapegoats, they all married their daughters to each other. After a period of time, they would naturally be killed by Jin Zheng.
Then the dead soul will naturally become a scapegoat.
Speaking of which, the wood stopped crying and knelt down on its knees: "Wood, I'm sorry! I had to do it too. Without Queen Xiao, without us, I must do this, otherwise I would be ungrateful. ”
Woodchuck looked at him with tears: "Brother Wood, how can you... how many of my husbands have I killed? ”
Wood shook his head immediately: "No, no, it's none of your business. You don't know anything. It's all brother's fault. Brother will bear it himself. ”
Woodchuck hugs his head and cries: "How can you do this, Woodchuck? Do you know how heartbroken I am? I'd rather die myself. ”
“Now that you've got five ghosts, and one more, are you going to recharge yourself?” The T-shirt man said, "That's why you called Mu Xiao home, right? ”
Wood nodded: "Yes, I know Wood Roe met a strong opponent and knew that we would go on and likely be exposed. So let the woodchuck come back, and I'm going to get my last spot with my own ghost. ”
“Brother Wood, why are you so stupid?” Woodchuck cried in his arms: “How can I live without you? ”
“Alas.” The T-shirt man shook his head helplessly: “Even if Queen Xiao was beneficial to your family, a thousand years later, everything you did to Queen Xiao is enough to repay you. Why sacrifice your life again? It's not loyalty, it's ignorance. ”
Wood sighs: "I dare not break the oath of my ancestors. ”
“You still want to go on?” The T-shirt man looked at the wood amazingly.
“Yes,” said the wood.
“Brother, don't, don't, what am I going to do if you leave? I can't live either.” Woody cried rarely.
Wood hugged the wooden cuckoo and gently caressed her long hair: "Find a strange place and marry someone nice! Brother, you're the one who's most sorry in your life. Don't blame Brother, okay? ”
The wood shook its head and the tear brush fell down.
“Stupid.” I sighed, too: "Why should the living do anything for the dead? If you really think about Queen Xiao, it would be better to give Queen Xiao more peace of mind. ”
“If I could have gone too far, I would have gone too far.” It's just a pity that Queen Xiao's death for a thousand years is no longer possible, "said Wood.“ This is the only way to put her to rest. ”
“Then beat her to pieces.” Li Mazi said harshly, “Have you thought about it? Is it fair to the innocent people you've killed? Do you think it's a good price for an old woman who's been dead for thousands of years to have six people buried every hundred years? ”
“Behind the six scapegoats are six families. Do you forget the happiness of others when you think only of your obsession? ”
The wood shook its head and said, "This is it. I can only thank you for your sins. A hundred years from now, I hope you will let Queen Xiao's soul fly away. I can also count on ancestral ancestors...”
“Obsessed.” T-shirt for men with cold eyes.
All of a sudden, the wood knocked on the back neck of the wooden hammer, and the wooden hammer went dark in front of him and fainted.
Thereafter, the wooden man kowtowed three times to the T-shirt, and the T-shirt man picked up the golden hammer and left.
And I looked at the T-shirt guy and I was like, "Just let him go? ”
The T-shirt man patted me on the shoulder: "Before I die, I'll take care of Queen Xiao. ”
“But…”
What else do I have to say? The T-shirt man has caught up with the wood.
I took a look at the stupor in the coma and sighed and followed.
Wood took us all the way to a little grave behind the thatch house, and after he dug it up, I saw a white grave door inside.
Wood opened the tomb door and looked in the direction of the thatched house, then stabbed the hammer into his throat, the blood sprayed out instantly, and then he rolled into the tomb.
I looked inside with a flashlight, and the bottom was unpredictable, I didn't know how deep it was.
The T-shirt man said, "Bury it! It's his choice. ”
Me and Li Mazi immediately started filling this grave. The T-shirt man also buried the black donkey hoof, saying it temporarily suppressed the vain air in the tomb, and other things were thrown around the tomb at will.
Originally the T-shirt guy wanted to use these things against Queen Xiao, who had become a corpse, but now it's useless...
We burned down the thatch house and took the mulch home.
When I woke up, I didn't cry, I just sat quietly and drowned.
So I asked Muji what he was going to do next.
Woodchuck said she wanted to go home.
Li Mazi hastily persuaded her that she was very old, why did she leave home? Why don't he introduce a subject to Mu Xiao, and we can take care of each other later.
The heart is dead, the flower world is long gone for her, I know there is no point in persuading her.
When the T-shirt man met a nunnery teacher, he sent her a letter to make her go.
Looking at the shadow of Woodchuck's departure, my heart was filled with emotions.
Loyalty is precious. In return for the gratitude of Queen Xiao, the ancestral generations of Mu Xiao are the tomb keepers. They let their grievances go unhindered. This loyalty deserves to be learned by all.
But for a ridiculous loyalty, so many innocent lives were sacrificed.
This loyalty also changes the taste and becomes foolish and ignorant.
