Title: Mysterious Events, Scholar's Paper Man Shocking Horror, Mystery Revealed of the Prince's Grave!
During the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a family surnamed Xi who lived in a remote mountain village.
Their parents are deceased, and although the brothers are married, they are not separated and still live together.
The elder brother Xi Bocun is two years older than the younger brother Xi Zhongcun and has married his wife Yang.
However, Xi Bocun had a bad fate and died of illness at the age of only twenty-five.
Xi Zhongcun was grief-stricken, took care of the funeral, and buried his brother in the back mountain.
Every night, Yang shed tears on his clothes, while Xi Zhongcun instructed his wife to accompany Yang and her children, and he slept alone.
However, one night, Xi Zhongcun suddenly saw his brother standing by the door in tattered clothes, covered with scars, crying in a low voice.
He was surprised and asked, "Brother, why are you wearing tattered clothes?" Where do the scars come from? Xi Bocun sobbed and told what happened to him.
It turned out that there was a tomb belonging to the prince of the Eastern Han Dynasty near the cemetery, where many slaves were buried, making the prince the overlord of that area.
In the early years, in order to prevent tomb robbery, the prince specially instructed his descendants to fill in the cemetery and pile up many stones, but now no one knows this secret.
A few days ago, the prince sent someone to summon Xi Bocun, and blamed his cemetery for blocking the entrance to the king's tomb, and asked him to move the cemetery.
However, Xi Bocun refused this request, so the prince beat him severely and imprisoned him in a stable, where he was responsible for feeding the horses and forbidding him to go out.
It was tonight that the prince entertained the guests, and Xi Bocun took the opportunity to escape, crying about what happened to him, and hoping that his younger brother could save him.
When he had said this, he began to weep bitterly.
Xi Zhongcun cried loudly, woke up suddenly, and couldn't sleep again.
He sat all night, sharing the dream with his wife and sister-in-law, Yang, and the two women cried sadly.
Yang begged Xi Zhongcun to think about it and not let Uncle Xi be bullied in the underworld.
Xi Zhongcun thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the old Taoist to see if there is a good way." ”
At the foot of the mountain, there is a Taoist temple with a long history, and the presiding officer of the Taoist temple is an old Taoist who has studied Taoism.
He heard Xi Zhongcun's intention, closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened his eyes and shook his head: "This thing is not easy to do, this prince has been operating in the underworld for many years, and his status is quite high, ordinary Dao methods can't deal with him, so I can't do anything." ”
Xi Zhongcun returned home in a depressed mood and told his wife, and Yang began to cry again.
At night, Xi Zhongcun dreamed of his brother again, this time, his brother was pressed to the ground by several people and beaten, and a man like a prince shouted and pointed at Xi Zhongcun and said: "I heard that you are still planning to find a Taoist priest to deal with me, it is really beyond my strength, even if you come, I will still beat you all over the ground looking for teeth." ”
Xi Zhongcun was enraged, woke up, and could no longer sleep.
After dawn, his wife came back, Xi Zhongcun told his thoughts, he wanted to go to the underworld to meet the prince, and the two brothers worked together, even if they couldn't defeat the prince, they had to make him suffer a little.
The wife immediately threw down and began to cry, and rebuked him, saying, "What if you die, and we leave this orphan and widow behind?" Besides, just with the two of you, the strength is too weak, how can you deal with the prince of many people? Isn't it in vain to be wronged? "One sentence makes people wake up from a dream, the prince relies on many people, if he sends more people, he will naturally be able to defeat the prince's side.
He immediately found the warlock and was willing to pay **, let him make a hundred paper figures, cast spells on the paper figures, and take them to his brother's grave at night to burn.
At night, the mountain suddenly burst into flames, mixed with shouts.
After dawn, Xi Zhongcun ran to the mountain to check, only to see that more than two hundred steps behind his brother's grave, the boulder was pushed away, revealing a pit that had been dug, the lid of a coffin had been lifted, and a dry skeleton had been thrown outside.
Xi Zhongcun understood the reason, and the paper figures he burned worked out, so he hung the prince's skeleton under the tree to dry, and dug up the bones of the burial servants and exposed them to the scorching sun.
That night, Xi Zhongcun dreamed that his brother came to thank him and got a group of people, and he would never be bullied in the underworld again.
Soon after, Xi Zhongcun dreamed that the prince knelt in front of him with his slaves and begged him to bury their bones.
They were willing to give him all the gold, silver, and jewels that accompanied him.
Early the next morning, Xi Zhongcun led people to open all the tombs, unearthed the gold, silver and jewelry inside, and then put all the bones back into the tomb, put the skeleton of the prince back into the coffin and sealed it, and built a large tomb.
He also erected a monument.
With this wealth, Xi Zhongcun bought a large amount of fertile land and became rich overnight, and he raised two nephews and asked Yang to marry others.
In order to thank the prince for the money, Xi Zhongcun will go to burn paper and sweep the tomb of the prince on the Qingming Festival and the Zhongyuan Festival in the future.
There are many people in the world who like to bully the weak, and these people are actually paper tigers.
We should be brave enough to fight them and expose their hypocrisy.
