Chapter 85 The Secret of the Chen Family

This is the first time for me to go to such a high altitude. Although I can still bear it physically, I don't know what to face next, so I have no confidence in my heart.

Dawa got into our convoy, and he was on top of the front car, showing the way to the Ye family.He should indeed have lived here for many years and knows everything here very well.In fact, in my eyes, the roads here are all similar, and there is no one that should be taken, but Dawa can find the subtle differences.

I was sitting in the car, and my grandpa was sitting next to me. He looked at the top of the snow-capped mountains in the distance without saying a word, with a serious expression on his face.This kind of serious expression doesn't often appear on Grandpa's face. In my memory, he would show such a serious expression because the children in the village ran to Hanzigou.He lowered his head and said nothing, and I don't know what Grandpa is thinking.

"Grandpa, why on earth did you take me to Hanzigou?"

There was no one from the Ye family in the car, only me, Qin Juepei, and grandpa. I hesitated, but I still asked.I have kept this question in my mind for too long.Although I met Qin Juepei at the beginning, what happened to all of this? Is grandpa an insider?What is his relationship with Qin Juepei?
Grandpa looked at me, his eyes became slightly kinder.He looked at my face, hesitated for a moment, reached out and stroked my face with a very gentle voice.

"Because only you can wake him up. And if he doesn't wake up again, he will sleep forever... sleep forever..."

I suddenly widened my eyes.What does grandpa mean by this sentence? Does he mean Qin Juepei when he said him?
I turned my head to see Qin Juepei's expression, but I heard my grandfather say: "The burden of the Chen family, Ake, is deeper than you imagined. Ake, no matter what, all this is over now, this After this incident, grandpa hopes that you can still live happily."

When I hear these words now, I just feel that they are ordinary, but after I have experienced so many things again, and I look back at these words, I can appreciate Grandpa's good intentions.But at this moment, I was still ignorant, Qin Juepei put his arms around my shoulders, and then I heard him say.

"During the period of the Republic of China, there was a small village where people were proficient in various thaumaturgy. Empress Dowager Cixi found out about this and secretly sent people to get people in this village to participate in the construction of her tomb. But the artisans of all dynasties were to be buried with them, so the people in this village fled into the mountains overnight after learning that the Empress Dowager Cixi sent people to look for them. give up."

I stared blankly at Qin Juepei and said, I don't know why he suddenly mentioned this.

Then I saw Qin Juepei smiled slightly and said:
"The people in that village are all surnamed Chen."

I suddenly raised my head to look at him, my heart skipped a beat, while Qin Juepei still had a calm expression, and he continued to speak in a tone as if he was telling a story.

"The people in Chenjiacun didn't disappear, they just hid in the tunnel. They formed a formation outside, and the officers and soldiers couldn't find them. But because this happened suddenly, there was too little food stored. The officers and soldiers After surrounding for more than half a month, they were close to running out of ammunition and food at the back. They had no choice but to dig the tunnel around, hoping to dig farther to escape-but this digging gave the Chen family people, Discovered a big secret."

My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help asking.

"What's the secret?"

Qin Juepei smiled, but suddenly stopped talking.Grandpa took his words and said:
"They discovered an ancient forbidden place. An empty tomb—and a great secret of life and death."

I don't know why, but when I heard Grandpa say these words in a calm voice, I felt my whole scalp go numb, as if my whole body was about to explode.I sat in the car in a daze, with the windows closed, but I felt as if there was a cold wind blowing behind me.I stared blankly at Grandpa, obviously wanting to ask something, but when I opened my mouth, I seemed to be dumb.

As if seeing my shock, Grandpa continued to speak.

"If this secret is revealed, it will bring disaster to the village. They escaped from this forbidden area and fled into the valley, hoping to hide from the world for a hundred years—but they failed because of one person."

"At the beginning, there was a young girl in the village. She felt a little bored about everything in the village. One day when she was collecting medicine, she met a handsome young man. He fell into a valley and was seriously injured. The girl took him back to the village. She took good care of him. She knew that people in the village would not accept outsiders, so she did everything very carefully to conceal the existence of this young man."

My heart trembled slightly, as if I could already guess what would happen next.

"This girl fell in love with this young man deeply, and she even became pregnant with his child. But the young man, from her words, realized that this village is special. This village is not just for avoiding the war. He tried to catch the girl's words. The young girl who has not experienced much in the world didn't notice the strangeness of her lover. He told the whole story about the fact that the village discovered a secret and was afraid of being known, so she hid in the mountains."

I quietly and patiently looked at Grandpa in front of me.For some reason, this story appeals to me.

I no longer wonder why Qin Juepei knew the beginning of this story. At this moment, I just want to listen to this story.

"This man wants to know the secrets of this village. The girl who has been dazzled by love is afraid that her lover will leave her and her unborn child, so she decides to take the risk. She uses the village's secrets as a temptation and tells this man that as long as he stays, You will be able to know the secret of life and death."

"But what she didn't expect was that this man, after extracting most of the village's secrets from her, escaped from the valley on the day she gave birth. He reappeared, but brought a large number of officers and soldiers. His true identity was the leader of a small rebel army. The girl collapsed completely. She felt sorry for the tribe and took the child to commit suicide. They brought the tribe back All kinds of torture in their jurisdiction area, relying on various secret techniques of the Chen family, they searched for ancient tombs everywhere, obtained antiques as military resources, this army, which was originally extremely inconspicuous in troubled times, unexpectedly transformed into a short-lived army at that time. regional warlords."

I was in a trance for a while, and Qin Juepei's voice sounded faintly.

"That man—in fact, he was already dead. He was obsessed with the secret of life and death that the Chen family spoke of. He built a huge mausoleum for himself, and wanted to be reborn after death. But the Chen family hated him. How could it be possible to tell him the real secret? The so-called rebirth of the soul is just a lie. And when the girl died, she used the souls of herself and the child to cast the most terrible curse of the Chen family on him. Don't get over it."

"I've finished listening to the story..." I paused, and then asked, "But what does this have to do with you?"

"Because I did a great favor to the Chen family later on, it can almost be said to be a great favor."

Qin Juepei's voice sounded a little cold, and he said lightly: "The Chen family promised me one thing in order to repay me."

I glanced at Grandpa, then at Qin Juepei, and had some guesses in my heart, but I knew that neither Grandpa nor Qin Juepei would be willing to talk anymore.I bit my lip, and my voice was very soft.

"So, the people in Shuangchen County are descendants of the Chen family?"

Grandpa smiled and said nothing.He looked at the rolling snow-capped mountains in front of him, and suddenly said: "I came here once many years ago. At that time, I was not as old as I am now. This place is indeed very special, and there are many secrets. What the Ye family wants I know what it is, but this muddy water is not easy to step on."

I didn't speak.I came out this time without glasses.Because I know that I need to use my eyes—and there is one thing I haven't told anyone, those Ye family members, except Ye Yuetian, I can see the strong dead air on their faces.

And the most obvious one is the head at the head, his seal is really blackened, this kind of person will most likely die.Although I was calm on the surface, my heart was already beating drums.What kind of danger will he encounter this time, so that there will be such a terrible omen?But I dare not say more, not to mention the Ye family also said, just use my eyes to find that place.

Grandpa took a look at the car, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face, but there was no warmth in the smile, instead it was bitingly sharp.

"Ye Laosan has become more and more outrageous in the past few years. But yes, they are doing so well on the road now, and they are more or less complacent. They look down on me, an old man who lives in the countryside. But in this line of work, the most afraid The most important thing is that wind and water are booming-the prosperity must decline, and the ancient sayings of the ancestors definitely have his truth."

"The more beautiful you are, the closer you are to danger." Grandpa closed his eyes slightly, and then he said, "Ake, no matter what happens in the future, you have to listen to me and don't be willful. Some things are God's fault." It is arranged well, and whoever wants to change it, God will not agree."

I shuddered slightly. Grandpa's words seemed to be a reminder or a warning. I lowered my head and nodded slightly.

But... I hesitated for a moment, but Ye Yuetian came to mind.After all, he is a senior in my school. If he is really in danger, can I turn a blind eye?

Qin Juepei seemed to sense my daze, he stretched out his hand and grabbed my palm with a gentle voice.

"Don't think so much, everything will be fine when you get to the place."
