Chapter 24 The secret of the ancestral hall
"Turtle Pack Stele, what is that?" Li Ergou said in confusion.
He has never seen such a stone tablet since he was a child. Why did the grandpa and the others bury the turtle-carrying monument under the ancestral hall?
Moreover, looking at the way my grandfather and my third uncle looked, it seemed that I had known about this for a long time.
Li Ergou felt that the Dragon Head Monument must be related to his father's disappearance, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.
"Brother Ergou, in Fengshui, the Longtou Monument is used to suppress evil spirits most of the time, but I can't understand why your grandfather and others buried it in the Fengshui eyes of Wolong Village." The fat man explained.
After saying that, he circled around the pit and said, "Strange, it's really strange!"
Li Ergou was wondering when he saw the fat man suddenly stopping, and then slapped his head and said, "By the way, why didn't I think of this?"
"What's wrong, Fatty?" Li Ergou said curiously.
The Fatty is the descendant of Tianshidao. For him, it should not be difficult to solve the problem of burying turtle-carrying monuments in Feng Shui's eyes.
However, as soon as the fat man was about to speak, he was stopped by his third uncle: "Fat man, keep your mouth in mind. Don't worry about things you shouldn't care about."
"My surname is Li, don't go too far. If you didn't see that you were Ergou's third uncle, I would have taken action against you long ago."
Although the fat man was careless on weekdays, he also had his own arrogance. When his third uncle said this in public, he was immediately dissatisfied.
"You can try it!"
However, Uncle San was not a vegetarian. He glared at the fat man without giving in.
"Okay, you both say less."
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Li Ergou quickly stepped forward and stood between them.
"Uncle San, what's wrong with you? Can you tell me? Don't always hide it from me. I'm not a child anymore. I have the right to know the truth."
Li Ergou first said to Uncle San, then turned to the fat man and said, "Fatty, forget it, just treat it as giving me some face. This is a ancestral hall, and it is not suitable to do it here."
After hearing what he said, Uncle San and Fatty calmed down, but both turned their heads to one side, and they didn't like each other.
Seeing this, Li Ergou quickly pulled the fat man aside and asked him to go home first, and then return to Uncle San.
"Uncle San, I know you are doing it for my own good, but you can't hide everything from me, right?" Li Ergou said to Uncle San.
In recent times, Uncle San has become extremely mysterious. No matter what Li Ergou asks him, he will always be excused.
When he said his heart, Li Ergou was also a little angry.
The fat man and Li Ergou are not related, but even so, he will share something with Li Ergou, but what about the third uncle? Is he even worse than an outsider?
"Ergou, do you trust Uncle San?"
Uncle San did not answer directly, but asked in Li Ergou's eyes.
Li Ergou nodded.
Since his father disappeared twenty years ago, it was Uncle San who supported the family alone. It was because Uncle San who provided tuition and living expenses that Li Ergou could graduate from college.
If Uncle San would harm him, he would not believe even if he beat Li Ergou to death!
"Isn't that enough? Uncle San didn't mean to hide it from you, but the time has not come. Telling you some things in advance will put you in danger and bring you a life-threatening disaster."
When he said this, Uncle San's face suddenly became solemn, and then he continued, "At that time, even I can't protect you."
After hearing this, Li Ergou was stunned. He didn't know whether he should believe what Uncle San said.
But Li Ergou was at least sure, and Uncle San refused to tell him the truth, so he had his own difficulties.
But is the matter really as serious as Uncle San said?
At this moment, Li Ergou suddenly thought of the ghost-faced man, the strange second grandfather, and the ghost reader "Hell Ghost".
If what Uncle San said was true, then how powerful the person behind him would be?
"Uncle San, don't tell me what else is, then tell me, has the sky lantern on my right shoulder been destroyed?"
Li Ergou sighed helplessly and asked this question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"What the fat man told you?" Uncle San raised his head and asked.
"Yes."
Li Ergou nodded and then asked, "The fat man said that my right shoulder often hurts and is always prone to hitting ghosts. It is because the skylight on my right shoulder has been destroyed since I was a child. I just want to know if it is true?"
"good!"
Uncle San did not deny it. He hesitated for a moment and said, "To be precise, your sky lantern was not destroyed when you were a child, but was extinguished from the beginning."
"What?"
Li Ergou was startled.
What does it mean to "extinguish from the beginning"? Wouldn't that mean that the sky lantern on his right shoulder was destroyed when he was still in his womb?
Li Ergou thought about it carefully and was extremely terrified!
What kind of hatred is this? Do you want to kill all threats in the cradle?
But for the past twenty-five years, he has been living a mess, his academic performance is average, and his work after graduation is average, and he is not as proficient in Feng Shui as Uncle San and Fatty.
Li Ergou really couldn't figure out what threat he would pose to those people?
"Ergou, don't worry, your sky lantern, when the time comes, I will light it for you." Uncle San patted Li Ergou's shoulder and comforted him.
After hearing what he said, Li Ergou became even more confused.
Since Uncle San was able to help him light the sky lantern, why didn’t he do that after so many years?
What is Uncle San waiting for? Or is there someone who made him so afraid?
Seeing that Li Ergou didn't say anything, Uncle San had to say, "Okay, Ergou, I know you have a lot of questions in your heart, but you believe Uncle San, one day, I will tell you everything."
Li Ergou nodded and sighed helplessly, feeling very tired.
He didn't even know that Uncle San said this little.
Either it is "the time has not come", or it is "one day", it seems that if you want to find the truth, you have to rely on yourself.
"Sanyuan, you want to go back with Ergou!"
Li Ergou was depressed, and his grandfather suddenly came over.
"Dad, the turtle load monument has been bleeding. Can you solve it?" Uncle San glanced at the turtle load monument that was bleeding and said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I've been guarding him for twenty years, and I will never watch him leave like this. Even if I have fought for this life, I will still win a glimmer of life for him." Grandpa said, smoking a dry tobacco.
Li Ergou was confused when he heard this. What kind of mystery is grandpa fighting against his third uncle?
Could it be that there is still a person buried in this turtle carrier?
He was wondering when he saw his grandfather suddenly paying wages to the workers in the construction team, and then sent the workers away.
"Let's go, Ergou, let's go home first. There are some things you still don't know."
Then, Uncle San pulled him out of the ancestral hall despite Li Ergou's resistance.
After all the people who should leave left, the grandfather took out a big lock and locked the gate of the ancestral hall yard from the inside.
Even if Li Ergou wanted to peek, he had no choice.
After walking for a while with his third uncle, he looked back unwillingly, and then his face changed.
A stream of black smoke suddenly floated above the ancestral hall.
