After this incident, everyone was frightened out of their courage, and the commotion was too loud, which attracted the prying eyes of all forces. Yu
Ma Pingchuan had no choice but to give it up, moved all the coffins that could be found to his ancestors to new places, and then blocked all news on the pretext of the earth dragon turning over.
Many years had passed since the incident, and Ma Pingchuan suddenly remembered the letter one day, and sent someone to deliver it to the address on the letter given by the child, only to find that the huge Zhang family mansion had long been empty.
According to local people, the Zhang family was originally a well-known local family and kept a very low profile, but for some reason they suddenly fell into decline some time ago and have disappeared since then.
After the incident that happened that year, the Ma family began to decline day by day.
After Ma Pingchuan passed away, the Ma family's heirs who inherited the family property moved their family to Nepal.
By the time Jin Wantang met a descendant of the Ma family to appraise the ancient book, the Ma family had completely declined.
After telling the story, Jin Wantang poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat, "This is the general story of what happened. If you want to pursue it, I don't think it is necessary." Yu
Zhang Shuxun tapped his knees with his fingers, "You mean, the place called Ma'an back then still exists today?"
"Yes, but I guess even if you look for it, you won't find any useful clues." Jin Wantang said, "The subsequent content in the memoir was not actually written by Ma Pingchuan himself, but by the family he inherited later.
The youngest son of the Ma family."
"Ma Pingchuan himself did not die of old age naturally. The man died in a very strange way. This is also the reason why the Ma family moved. If they did not move, their whole family would die."
Zhang Zhuoxun raised his eyebrows slightly, "What kind of weird method?"
"Eh~ If you want to say it's weird, it's very impressive." Jin Wantang's expression changed. He looked at the door and saw that there were no guests lingering outside, so he walked over and closed the door.
"I'm going to say it, mistress, please don't laugh at me for being timid." Jin Wantang deliberately lowered his voice.
"That Ma Pingchuan died in the same way as those people back then. Really, exactly the same." Yu
"He finally dug a hole and buried himself in the soil!"
Zhang Zhuxun paused his fingers and said with some surprise: "You mean, Ma Pingchuan died on the deserted graveyard over there like those soldiers and horses that turned into bones, and he dug a hole and buried himself.
Went in?"
"That's right!" Jin Wantang clapped his hands, "Just tell me, this is infiltrating people but not others."
Zhang Zhuoxun frowned slightly and asked, "How did his family find him? When Ma Pingchuan was found, was he also turned into bones?"
"Hey, you are really right!" Jin Wantang whispered, "Let me tell you, when the Ma family was dealing with that matter, they had already been targeted by the things underneath."<
/p>
Seeing the confusion on Zhang Zhuoxun's face, Jin Wantang said: "This is all my own speculation. Let me tell you this."
"In fact, there is a record at the back of the book that Ma Pingchuan's family raised several big dogs, and one was tied up in each courtyard. Ever since the incident in the Scorpion Tomb, Ma Pingchuan had specially raised several wolf dogs.
, said to be used to guard the door, but actually to prevent strange things from happening." Yu
"It was all calm until one winter nineteen years later, when Ma Pingchuan contracted tuberculosis and was about to die."
"One night it snowed heavily, which is a rare occurrence in the Jianghuai area. The temperature dropped so much that the lake was frozen."
"When Ma Pingchuan's sons went to see Ma Pingchuan in the morning, they found that their old father, who was supposed to be lying in bed, sick and in need of medicine, suddenly disappeared, and the door to his bedroom was also wide open."
At first, the Ma family thought it was their old father who suddenly came back to his senses and wanted to go out for a walk, see the family fortune he had accumulated over the years, and settle his last thoughts.
As a result, the attentive second daughter-in-law discovered that her father-in-law's shoes were still there beside the bed, with no sign of being touched at all. If she really wanted to go out for a walk, she would have to put her shoes on and touch the quilt again.
, it’s all very cool, obviously the old man has been away for a long time.
The family members are now anxious, thinking that some enemy kidnapped their father during the night. Is this okay?
The three sons hurriedly wanted to chase them out, but at this moment a servant came to report that the dogs tied up in the yard were not eating or eating bones for some reason, and they were just barking in one direction.
/p>
When the two older sons of the Ma family heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, and they suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.
In fact, when the incident occurred at the ancestral cemetery, although they were young, they still knew some general circumstances. Only the youngest son was not born at that time and did not know those things at all. The others were also raped by Ma Pingchuan at home.
Password gag order.
The two older sons of the Ma family murmured in their hearts. When they went out and looked in the direction of the barking dog, they felt cold. Sure enough, there was something wrong with that graveyard, and their father might be in trouble this time.<
/p>
After a few people put it all together, they decided that they still had to take a look. They couldn't let their father's body be exposed in the wilderness in this cold weather.
Just in case, they left Ma Pingchuan's youngest son behind, and then went up the mountain with people and dogs.
That area was indeed as the children of the Zhang family said back then. There was no grass growing, and corpses were everywhere. There were many wild cats and dogs, and the bones of dead animals were piled in the pits in such a mess. There were also poor people who could not feed them, or who were
The children who died young were all thrown into the funnel pit that collapsed that year.
In the past twenty years, that area has been completely reduced to a mass grave. Yu
As soon as the wolf dogs raised by the Ma family arrived at that place, they would rush into the pit and roar while rushing. The sound in their throats completely changed. It didn't sound like a dog barking at all, but more like, something.
A strange beast is growling.
Those dogs seemed to be completely crazy. They struggled desperately and remained unmoved even after their necks were strangled by the iron chains. They even tried to bite the servants who were holding the chains.
The Ma family had no choice but to order the men to loosen the chain. The dogs rushed into the center of the pit and began to dig at the soil.
Although it is in the south, the soil will still be frozen in winter. Especially when it rained before, a lot of rainwater accumulated in this low-lying land. As a result, the surface layer was frozen, and the things in the pit were frozen.
All frozen inside.
In addition, there was a heavy snowfall last night, and the ice in the deep funnel pit is now completely covered with snow.
The claws of several dogs were worn out and they didn't dig much.
The Ma family went down with shovels and pickaxes to help, knocking and smashing, and finally cleared out a large piece of snow and corpses in the center. Yu
However, what they never expected was that the thing exposed under the ice turned out to be Ma Pingchuan!
To be more precise, it was Ma Pingchuan's body, and his face, which had been frozen in the ice and wrinkled by blisters, clinging to the ice.
The Ma family was almost scared to death. How could such a good person go under the ice?
And some sharp-eyed people saw that Ma Pingchuan's body was actually face down at first, but when they smashed the ice, it vibrated. There was still some water under the ice that was not frozen. Sincerely, Ma Pingchuan's body
Turned over, he was floating naked in the water without any clothes on.
The Ma family broke open the ice and pulled out Ma Pingchuan's body, only to find that it was just a set of human skin, yes, human skin wrapped around the skeleton.
Like the missing soldiers and horses, Ma Pingchuan also turned into bones.
The Ma family did not dare to publicize this matter, so they hurriedly took Ma Pingchuan's skin and bones back, and did not dare to bury them directly. They simply set a fire and burned them to ashes, and then packed the ashes in boxes and buried them.
In the ancestral graves after relocation.
I thought the matter would end there, but unexpectedly, in the next few days, troubles began to happen to the Ma family one after another.
First, the family of the eldest son who inherited the property, including his wife and three children, disappeared in just one night.
The most important thing is that the dogs tied in the yard are also missing.
I searched and searched, but still couldn't find the eldest son's family. The next morning I found that the second son's family were also missing.
The youngest son was only a teenager at the time, and he was also the smartest of Ma Pingchuan's three sons. After much thought, he finally felt that the problem lay on the tomb mountain, but he was also afraid that he would not be able to come back even if he went there.
What can I do with my family business?
So he spent a lot of money to invite a few experienced servants who were in urgent need of money to go to the funnel pit.
After going there, they found that the Ma family's two sons and their families were all soaked in the ice. Their death condition was exactly the same as that of Ma Pingchuan before. There were also several wolf dogs buried with them. Yu
Now everyone was scared, thinking that something must have gone wrong when the Ma family was moving the ancient tomb, and then retribution came to them.
In the next few days, fresh corpses appeared in the funnel pit every day, all of which were servants who had been in contact with this place last time.
At this time, everyone began to panic, and all the remaining servants of the Ma family fled for their lives within a few days.
The youngest son of the Ma family had no choice but to sell the family property at a low price and move to Nepal with the remaining sisters.
After Jin Wantang finished speaking, he felt a little too loud and didn't dare to breathe, "Little Third Master, if you really want to investigate, there are many channels, but don't be too stubborn to involve yourself in it."
Zhang Zhu pressed his fingertips lightly on the table and thought for a while, "I think these subsequent events are more like man-made things."
"Ah?" Jin Wantang was confused, "How do you know?" Yu
"Isn't the intention obvious?" Zhang Zhuoxun raised the corner of his mouth, "The people behind him were pressing too hard. If it was really something under the tomb that was causing trouble, then why didn't those people present at the same time and two people from the Ma family?
My son died in the funnel pit together."
