"Uncle, what do you think will happen next?" the father asked the little grandpa.

"It's hard to say, you go and get a rake, I can't reach the lower floor. First hook up the grill and see what else is there!"

"Okay, I'll get it!" My father said and went to the warehouse.

At this time, the mother had already carefully wrapped the three pieces of jade with the clothes she poured out just now.Father also brought a rake, and the little grandpa took the rake and came to the side of the tank, leaned over and raised the grille, and everyone gathered around.

"Wow, that's a lot of money!" I glanced at the contents of the vat, it was copper coins, and the bottom of the vat was covered with copper coins.

The little grandpa hooked up a string with a rake, and it was illuminated by the light. It was Jiaqing's copper coins;String after string, the three emperors Shunzhi, Qianlong, and Kangxi, plus the previous Yongzheng and Jiaqing, are the five emperors' coins.

The five emperors' money refers to the copper coins of the five emperors of Qing Dynasty Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing.During the reign of these five emperors, the country was stable and the people were prosperous, which was a rare peaceful period in Chinese history.The five emperors' money has the three talents of heaven, earth, and people, plus the emperor's prestige of the five emperors, so it can town house, avoid evil, and has the function of prospering wealth.

When I was young, I was timid and easily frightened. My grandpa spent a lot of time finding a set of five emperor coins and a peach basket carved from peach pits to weave a bracelet for me. I didn’t untie it until I was an adult. Come down and let my mother keep it, saying that it is for the future son.

There are so many five emperors' money now, haha, it's incredible.These five emperors' coins come in a string of [-]. Each copper coin is shiny and has no flaws at all. The handwriting on it is very clear and the appearance is very good. Presumably these copper coins were selected after being screened among more coins. was placed here.It seems that before the old Yang family built this mansion, they spent immeasurable effort and money to collect the belongings of the town house.

The little grandpa carefully picked up strings of coins, and the mother followed the instructions of the little grandpa, brought a large stack of newspapers, and wrapped the strings of copper coins.It took a long time, and finally all the copper coins were taken out. I was in charge of the lighting, and my hand holding the flashlight was sore.After counting, there are a total of [-] strings of copper coins, no more than [-] strings in each era, [-] strings in each string, a total of [-] copper coins.After my mother wrapped it, she took a snakeskin bag and packed it. I picked it up and it weighed at least forty catties. The owner of the house back then really worked hard!

After cleaning up the copper coins, I finally saw the bottom of the vat, and there was another thing in the bottom, which was dark, and I couldn't tell what its texture was. I could only judge from the shape, it should be something like a compass.

Because it is at the bottom of the tank, the rake cannot hook it out.I said to the little grandpa: "Let me go in and take it out!"

"Okay!" The little grandpa didn't object, he had already reached the bottom of the tank, and he didn't see anything strange. When the last thing was taken out, there should be nothing else.

Seeing that the little grandpa didn't object, I put my hands on it, stepped on the rim of the cylinder and went in.The bottom of the tank is the compass. I stepped on the tank wall and bent down slowly, took a deep breath, and moved my fingers up along the edge of the compass. The compass flipped up. I thought it was tight, but it was so easy. Suddenly, the foot stepping on the wall of the cylinder slipped and slid towards the bottom of the cylinder.

The bottom of the tank should be empty, but when I picked up the compass, it turned out to be a hollow. I held the compass in my hand and slid in. I rolled and slid all the way, spinning around for a while, and I passed out.

When I woke up, I found that the compass in my hand was still there, and the sky was still dark. It didn't seem long.Where is this? I stood up, surrounded by darkness, except for two lights not far in front of me.Where there is a light, there is a house. I ran along the light, and when I got closer, I realized that it was two lanterns.

These two lanterns hang high on both sides of the gate of a house. It is really strange that people still use lanterns these days.But it was pitch black all around, and there was a house right here, so I went forward and pulled up the copper ring on the door of the house and knocked. "Dong dong dong", as soon as I knocked on the door knocker, the door opened a hole, it seems that the door is not bolted.I didn't think too much about it. Finding someone to ask for directions was the top priority, but the scene in front of me when I opened the door really surprised me.

The bluestone road in the courtyard and the flower beds on both sides of the road are exactly the same as the little grandpa's house.Isn't the building at the end of the road the one where my grandpa lives now?It's just that the furnishings inside are very luxurious. There are a complete set of mahogany tables and chairs, jade screens, colorful porcelain vases in the huge space, and it doesn't feel dilapidated at all.

I think I know where I am now, it must be so, this is the little grandpa's house, the old Yang's house.But this is a complete and magnificent version, could it be that I have time-traveled?

Just when I was at a loss, a person suddenly appeared in the hall.I don't know if it was because I lost my mind or didn't pay attention, or because of other reasons, anyway, I swore that there was no one there just now, and in a blink of an eye, that person was sitting in the hall.

"Come, come in and sit!" The people in the hall called me, and I looked up at him. It's over, I've really time-traveled, that man's standard Qing Dynasty style, that shiny scalp, and a long waist-length waist behind his head. Braids are not blamed by the Qing Dynasty.

I walked into the hall tremblingly, and smelled a delicate fragrance as soon as I entered. The thought of it was refreshing and very comfortable.As expected of a big family, the incense alone is extraordinary.As soon as I come, I will be at ease, and I sat in the position below his head according to the owner's intention.

"Where is this?" Although I have traveled through time, I still have to ask clearly, and I don't know what my identity is!

"Little friend, don't panic, this place is just an illusion. You are still where you are, and now you are like a dream, and everything will be as usual after waking up!" The man was still very kind, as if he could see through my thoughts.

"Illusion!" I pinched my thigh, and it really didn't hurt, it was indeed an illusion.Since it's like a dream, I'm not polite, "Then why are we meeting here?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "My surname is Yang. I built this mansion. Why do you think we met?"

Too bad, it turned out to be the owner of the mansion, who just let go of his heart, but immediately picked it up again.I took the treasure of his town house today, so why should he fight me desperately?The point is that the owner of the mansion happened hundreds of years ago, he is not human at all, how can he beat him?I don't want to risk my life here.

The more I think about it, the more afraid I am. I only have a compass in my hand, what should I do?what to do?

Seeming to see through my thoughts, the middle-aged man stood up and walked towards me with a smile.

That smile is still so warm, but I feel terrified when I see it; the footsteps are still so steady, but every step closer makes me anxious.

Getting closer, closer, he stretched out his hands and reached for my neck.

Why, why, at this moment I can't move!help!Whoever comes to save me can't even shout out, I'm finished.

I have to say that although I know it is an illusion, the touch is still very real.Those hands didn't catch my throat, but landed on my shoulders.Gentle and powerful, I even felt the temperature of the palm of my hand, which is really strange.

"Don't panic, little friend, I won't harm you!" The owner of the hand said gently, "This time we met, it can be said to be a coincidence, or it can be said to be an arrangement of fate!"

"The arrangement of fate?" I was inexplicably surprised.

"It is indeed an arrangement of fate. Are you willing to listen to me in detail?" The middle-aged man stared at me.

How can a person not bow his head under the eaves.I'm the meat on the cutting board now, you can say what you want, how can I not listen?He cursed secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm.

That person could clearly understand my inner thoughts, so he narrated it.I have to say that even though I was very panicked inside, I still had to admit that his voice was really sweet, gentle and honest, and every word and every word went straight to the heart.

"My surname is Yang, my single name is Fang, and my courtesy name is Chengcun. I was born in the Qianlong period and lived through the Jiaqing and Daoguang dynasties. Since childhood, I came from a poor family, loved reading, practiced martial arts hard, and was forced to make a living. Cleared up the White Lotus Cult, quelled the Zhangger Rebellion, from a soldier to the front of the Holy Mountain Hall, he was named the first-class Marquis of Guoyong, given purple reins, rewarded with peacock feathers with both eyes, promoted to the imperial guard, and added the title of Prince and Taibao, like a picture of Ziguang Pavilion , successively served as admirals in Gansu, Hunan, Zhili, Guangxi, Sichuan and other provinces, and his life can be said to be smooth and prosperous, and his official career is prosperous! This house was the house I bought at that time, and it was used to house family relatives and friends.”

I said why the old Yang family is so rich. The Yang Fang in front of me was actually the master of the Marquis and Prime Minister, and the portrait was still hung in Ziguang Pavilion. (Just like the Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, only famous generals like Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, the founders of the country, are eligible to hang portraits.) He has served as an admiral in so many provinces, which should be equivalent to the current military commander. , or the Prince Taibao (it seems that Oboi is also the official, haha), it’s strange if he doesn’t have money.

"In the 20th year of Daoguang, the Opium War broke out. The emperor ordered me to lead the army to Guangzhou to support Lin Zexu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, to resist the British army. However, the foreign ships were strong and powerful, and our army was trapped at the mouth of the Pearl River. They also occupied Dinghai in Zhejiang. It was approaching Dagukou in Tianjin. On the one hand, the emperor sent Qishan and others to negotiate with the British army and signed the "Nanjing Treaty" that humiliated the country. , made me feel depressed, and then I retired and returned to my hometown, and came back here. As the years went by, I was grateful for the heavy crimes committed by soldiers and horses in my life, so I asked an expert for advice, and placed a treasure in the house to drive away evil spirits and protect my children and grandchildren. Pray for blessings. Afterwards, my house was stable and my relatives were harmonious, so I developed a heart for the Tao. In the last few years, I devoted myself to doing good deeds, blessing the villagers, and asking famous teachers to prove the Tao. Get rid of reincarnation."

This passage is half-literal and half-white. Fortunately, I have studied and studied ancient prose, so I can roughly understand it.It turned out that this person also knew Lin Zexu, and he belonged to the main fighting faction. Just because of this, I couldn't help but admire Lin Zexu, a bit of a cynical youth like me.As for the latter, it is roughly that although he wanted to learn Taoism in the end, he was already very old, and he still did not escape death in the end.

"Then why did you not reincarnate, sir, and you still appear in front of the boy?" I quickly followed his words and asked, naturally, I should be more respectful. He is such a big official, and he spent a lot of effort to buy so many treasures. It's all in my hands now, we have to be respectful, and we have to save our lives and go back to enjoy the blessings!

Yang Fang nodded slightly, and said: "I've told you about this matter. Back then, I knew that time was running out, so I asked an expert: I don't want to suffer from reincarnation, what should I do? However, this method is easy, but how to keep the soul and not be detained by ghosts is the first and most important step. The life span of a person is recorded in the book of life and death, and the time limit is approaching. The soul will leave the body and float to the underworld, where I will be reincarnated. When I was about to die, the expert found a wandering ghost who could not reincarnate, cast a spell to find the lost soul for him, and asked him to reincarnate for me, no longer Suffering from wandering. The master prepared all kinds of goods in the underworld for him, and asked him to buy off the ghosts, so that he can join a rich and noble family to enjoy the blessings in the next life. The wandering soul is naturally willing. And I will paste the birthday horoscope in your hand after the gossip , town under the house, protected by various treasures, after I die, I can hide here and practice slowly. Up to now, it has been more than two hundred years, and I have also cultivated into the body of ghosts and immortals, so I can not fear reincarnation !"

Hearing what he said, I felt a little nervous again. I evacuated the place where he practiced. Isn't this the same nature as the urban management and demolition teams of the Celestial Dynasty?It's no wonder people don't work hard for me!It's over, the saying "people make money and birds die for food" is indeed true. The ancients did not deceive me, but I knew it too late!Turning the compass in my hand, there was a piece of yellow paper on the back with the date of birth written on it. It really was this compass. This time it will die soon. Goodbye, my folks!

Yang Fang glanced at me who was trembling, and couldn't help laughing, it seemed that my mind had been seen through again, my paralyzed mind-reading skills, I died miserably!
