Chapter 53: The Knot
"Originally, I thought that your great grandfather Guo Zhongyong buried himself there as a sort of borrowed dragon, but looking at the situation of your family now. Your grandfather to you, it shouldn't be him." Second uncle looked at me said.
This word I fried a listen to feel quite twisted, thought for a moment to figure out, dare uncle two's consciousness is my grandfather to me, I our Guo family for three generations are ordinary people, not like occupying the dragon's lair of the people.
The second uncle may also know so think, explained: "The fact is that, in fact, occupy the Dragon's Nest people want to ordinary are difficult." Second Uncle explained.
"Okay, okay, I know what you mean, and then what?" I asked.
"So it shouldn't be your great grandfather there, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the ancestor of the sorcerer, the dragon snake transformed into a dragon the world is very lucky. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has long since ceased to exist, yet he is still over there guarding the dragon snake tomb, surely he is not thinking of restoring the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but he knows that his family's ancestor is buried there, occupying the world's great fortune." Second uncle said.
"No way, if his family's ancestors are buried there, why does he need to be in that little mountain village?" I said.
"Blessing to the descendants is it, he might just be taking the position of the tomb keeper, his family up should be someone else." Second uncle said, finished he looked at me and said, "If I'm not wrong, that sorcerer's clan, now someone should be in Beijing, and in a position of power."
"It's still hard to tell if this thing is true or not, if it's really that spiritual, wouldn't my great grandfather bury himself there? Let me be a prince too?" I muttered.
Second uncle collected the holy decree and walked out, in the afternoon, when Chen Jiuzou came to bring us food again, she told me. Second uncle has been discharged from the hospital, I thought this guy was going to play missing, she laughed, "No, he just went out to look for someone."
Chen Jiu two that day at the time of leaving, that that jade pendant left me, the other words did not say anything, what I have in mind for her, this girl of seven exquisite heart will not be unaware, but I know that the feelings of this matter reluctantly do not come, she followed my second uncle for so many years, this feeling should not be able to surpass overnight, the thought of it, I'm sad and sad. You say my great grandfather so smart person, how come nothing left me?
My old dad did not ask much about my trip, I wanted to find a chance to tell him several times, he seemed to be avoiding me, and then I gave up, because my old dad he himself is an idle character, not willing to get into trouble, just he did not stop me from getting very close to the second uncle again.
Later I learned that the second uncle went to investigate the people, it is the ground rat, including with the ground rat together to the dragon snake tomb of the tomb of the several grave robbers, he and old Zhu is the same idea, that those people go to the dragon snake temple, absolutely not by chance, but organized and planned.
Then later on, Uncle Two found me and said, "It seems that I should go to Beijing and meet that Zhou Dalong in Panjiayuan Subdivision, according to what I have found out in the cocoon, the ground rats, including that batch of people, are all Zhou Dalong from which they led the way to the Torrent Snake Temple."
"Who is Zhou Dalong?" I felt that the name was very familiar and asked.
"It's the person who auctioned off that half of the jade pendant during the auction." He said.
"Zhou Dalong found Ground Mouse and a few of them, went to the Dragon Snake Temple, and stole this half jade pendant, I even suspect that everything was secretly laid out by him, and that auction was all because he intentionally lured me in, and then seduced me into going to the Dragon Snake Temple." Second Uncle said.
"Strange, if it's really him, why would he do that?" I asked.
What Second Uncle said after that made me feel a bit stifled, and it felt like this world was a bit out of touch with the one I knew, but I have to say, I think what Second Uncle said should be infinitely closer to the truth.
The sorcerer's ancestors were buried in the place where my great-grandfather raised his dragon, borrowing the dragon's energy that was supposed to go to the Huangling Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty, and there must have been someone from his descendants who held a prominent position in the capital. –But there will also be power struggles at the upper levels.
Therefore, the second uncle guessed that Zhou Dalong in Beijing mysterious position, a person once mysterious, most likely with the "power" hook, so he guessed that Zhou Dalong and sorcerer lineage of hostile forces, the struggle for power encompasses many aspects of the social trend is to resist superstition, but each other unspoken is the more the upper echelons of the people of the This feng shui is the more convinced, even if they do not believe, but also should hold the attitude of rather believe in it than believe in it.
Therefore, the struggle for power includes destroying each other's ancestral graves.
So there was the trip to the Ground Mouse, but it undoubtedly failed, after which Zhou Dalong aimed at Second Uncle, a more capable lord-like figure, attracting him to the Tomb of the Torrent Serpent and counting on him to break the feng shui roots of the sorcerer's lineage.
–All of this, it seems, is within logic, and, it's like a process of pulling the threads out of the cocoon, and Uncle Two and I pushed and prodded for a whole half day in my office, because we needed to smooth the whole thing out.
Zhou Dalong found my second uncle through a photo of Zhuo Anu and my grandmother Xiu'e.
He was very familiar with my second uncle and with Zhuo Anu. Even my Grandma Xiu'e. Those who know you, other than your friends, then only your enemies. But we presume that the possibility of being a friend is very small, Zhou Dalong and Zhuo Anu, should be enemies, or at least hostile.
So, the problem all of a sudden goes back thirty years, things are about to be reshuffled, the complexity of it all simply burns out my whopping two-fifty IQ.
-And in the end, the summary of everything we have is that Zhuo Anu, that young man that my grandfather felt was not simple, the reason why he was not willing to accede to the invitation of the then township leader Wang Jianfa to enter the officialdom at that time, was not because he was indifferent to fame and fortune.
He is indeed an extremely well-hidden person, and he was unwilling to accept because his ambition was much more than that.
He approached my second uncle's grandmother Xiu'e, and then approached my grandfather, probably for the half piece of jade pendant, and then through the "helpless" elopement of my grandfather to give away money, so my grandfather gave the jade pendant back then, is the real reason why Zhuo Anu go, he has got what he wants.
Then, in the name of love, he took my grandma Xiu'e away, to go to the place, is the dragon snake tomb, and then cooperate with the sorcerer, into the dragon snake tomb, the sorcerer said that Zhuo Anu took away the things of the dragon snake tomb led to the disaster at that time, he lied.
The real thing should be that Zhuo Anu put something into the Dragon Snake Tomb, and what he put in was none other than the bones of his family's ancestors.
Then Zhuo Anu successfully borrowed the dragon gas, with Zhuo Anu's wisdom and patience, Uncle speculated, now in Beijing, a certain high-powered person, should be the lock head of the village children of the youth Zhuo Anu.
All of this, up to here is not complete.
But if you add this paragraph of speculation, it seems to be heading towards an excellent circle.
–The body in the coffin of the Dragon Snake Tomb, wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, according to my uncle's memory, the official uniform embroidered with cranes, according to the arrangement of the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, this is a first-class official to wear.
My grandfather, Guo Zhongyong, was also a first-ranking official.
Therefore, Zhuo Anu's ancestors, and my great-grandfather Guo Zhongyong, may even be the same dynasty officials, so know everything, Zhuo Anu on the dragon snake tomb of the calculation, may be Zhuo Anu's ancestors from the beginning, began to calculate my great-grandfather.
It was almost a feng shui plunder that spanned dynasties and centuries.
–This is all our speculation about Zhuo Anu. It seems absurd, but I feel that all this speculation is correct, and my grandfather, Guo Gengchen, may have realized in his later years that he had been cheated by Zhuo Anu.
That's why in my grandfather's notes, there were a few times when he said that Zhuo Anu was unreadable, and he even used the term unfathomable to describe him, who was still a young man at the time.
I finally understood why my old man was willing to become a florist instead of wanting to get involved in the whole mystery, because it was all so complicated, with schemes within schemes, and a series of schemes that were endless and dizzying.
"So what are you going to do? Go to Beijing, can you still fight him?" I asked my second uncle.
"If it's really Zhuo Anu, I won't want to go and break his grave site, and I don't want to do anything to him, I just want to know my mom, she is living well, great nephew, maybe you think that people like me, won't be detained by affection, that's because you haven't experienced the loss of a loved one, the real loss, you'll only know, in fact, listening to them babble a few times is the world's best thing." Second Uncle said.
That was the last time I met my second uncle, after that, he went to Beijing, a month, no news came back.
