Chapter 57
Chen Dongfang said this, I can't tell him that you can't ignore it, you must do it, or something like that. I could only nod and said, "Uncle Dongfang, you must have your own plans."
Actually, I am not a fool. I also understand that Chen Dongfang said he had not intervened, but he had intervened. I could feel that he was a very calm person. He had a different meaning in what Tang Renjie did and what he said. According to my understanding, it seems that there is a tacit understanding, or rules behind the complex things in the entire Fudigou. This rule is followed by the person behind Mr. Liu and Chen Dongfang. This rule is very likely that he cannot kill people, so Tang Renjie has broken this rule now, so Chen Dongfang has done that.
Chen Dongfang nodded. He didn't seem to say much nonsense, nor did he seem to want to waste time, so he spoke very directly, and it made people feel that his next sentence had nothing to do with the previous sentence. He said the next sentence: "I, Brother Tianhua and Tang Renjie were comrades back then. They were also the three people with the best relationship. Outsiders all called us Iron Triangle. Tang Renjie must have told you about this. He did not lie in this matter. Brother Tianhua is older than both of us and takes great care of us. But I believe you can see that Tang Renjie is not a person who values feelings."
"Well, I don't have a good impression of him." I said. I didn't say it clearly, but the meaning is very obvious, that is, I have a good impression of you.
Chen Dongfang smiled at me, patted my shoulder and said, "Tang Renjie will definitely not tell you that before your father knew that he was about to die, he told Tang Renjie the secret of the twelve ghost caves he had appeared. He hoped that he could help him continue to investigate, but Tang Renjie quickly gave your father's information to Mr. Liu as a letter of fame."
"The secret of the Twelve Ghost Caves?" I was excited in an instant. I felt that the truth was right in front of me. I almost stared at Chen Dongfang's mouth, looking forward to what he was about to say.
Who knew he would say the next sentence: "I know your elder brother is a very powerful person, but he is too immature than Brother Tianhua back then, including you, so I won't tell you too much, this is because of your safety. At the same time, I want to tell you not to get too deep. You must feel how complicated this pool of water is, but its complexity must be beyond your imagination."
My mouth was a little bitter. I really want to say that this is not the answer I want. Don’t say anything about me and I’ll tell me if I do this. If this happens, I will bleed. But I can still say this to my elder brother because I know that no matter what I say, I won’t be angry. I really can’t say it to Chen Dongfang, my unfamiliar "uncle". To put it bluntly, it’s just that my elder brother will spoil me, Chen Dongfang won’t.
"I won't talk about this anymore. Now I will tell you about the Chen family in Fudigou, including the Feng Shui Eye Tailhead Stele." Chen Dongfang said.
Although this will be something I want to know, compared to the secret of the Twelve Ghost Caves, this can only be regarded as a consolation prize. I nodded and said, "Okay."
Chen Dongfang said: "The society has changed now, and there is no clan leader. You also know that if it were in the old society, your third grandfather was the clan leader of the Chen family in Fudigou. The secret of the Longtou Monument is only passed down by word of mouth by the clan leader. Only when the old clan leader dies will he tell the new clan leader that the clan leader of the Chen family must not leave Fudigou according to the ancestral teachings, but that is, the Longtou Monument is there to look at the Longtou Monument. So logically speaking, my grandfather should pass the secret of the Longtou Monument to my father, that is, your third grandfather, and your third grandfather will pass it to me later."
When he talked about this, Chen Dongfang paused. I was used to the fact that these insiders had too many twists of their words. In fact, when I heard his word "should" I knew that the consolation prize he gave me would not be so smooth. Sure enough, he said: "The clan leader is in the old society, and in the old society, it was a landlord's family. So my family went through a catastrophe when I was my grandfather. In order to protect your third grandfather, my grandfather arranged him out.
He was alone in Fudigou. It is not difficult to imagine that he suffered a lot in that era. As a result, before my grandfather died, my father, your third grandfather, could not be by his side. But the clan leader's secret about the Dragon Head Monument had no written words or anything, but it was just word of mouth. My grandfather, who was forced to do so, could only pass on the secret of the clan leader's secret about the Dragon Head Monument to the other Chen family under that situation. Guess who this person is."
"Who? Uncle Zhuzi?" I asked.
"You guessed half of it." Chen Dongfang said.
"Half? There is still half of this?" I asked in confusion.
Chen Dongfang smiled and said, "My grandfather is a cautious person. If he hadn't been cautious, he would never have arranged my father out in advance to escape a catastrophe in that era. So he actually passed the secret of the Dragon Head Monument to the two people he trusted the most, one and half. These two people restrained each other. Before my grandfather's death, these two people made a poisonous oath that they would tell my father about this secret when my father returned to Fudigou, and the two of them would forget the secret. Chen Zhuzi was one of them, so you guessed half of it, and the other person was Chen Shitou."
After hearing Chen Dongfang say this, I was not surprised, and of course I can't say it's not unexpected. I can only say that I had long doubts about Chen Shitou, so the answer to this is precisely unexpected and reasonable.
Chen Dongfang continued: "People's hearts are separated from the belly. Even my grandfather, who is cautious all his life, cannot really see everyone. You may be able to imagine what's next. Chen Zhuzi abides by the agreement with my grandfather. After my father returned to Fudigou, he told my father half of the secret he knew, and Chen Shitou ruined his oath. But the half that Chen Shitou knew was actually the most crucial half of this secret. And Chen Shitou tried every means to get the other half, so you should think that Chen Zhuzi married two wives, and the death of these two wives was not an accident."
"Chen Shitou is a Feng Shui master, at least a person who is proficient in yin and yang metaphysics. Don't your grandfather know?" I asked.
Chen Dongfang said: "That half of the secret is enough to exchange for Chen Shitou for a lot of things, right? Chen Shitou is the same as Tang Renjie after all, but even if the half he knows is crucial, it will be difficult for him to do anything without his other half. Later, my father maintained a balance between Chen Zhuzi and Chen Shitou, which was also an agreement that no one could provoke things from the twelve ghost caves. The price was that Chen Shitou could put his children in the eyes of the Chen family's Feng Shui, so that Chen Shitou's family could make a fortune."
I nodded and said, "But Chen Shitou's family does not enjoy the protection of Feng Shui, and the child may not be Chen Shitou's."
Chen Dongfang nodded and said, "It's already very good that you can think of this. My father and Chen Zhuzi knew that with Chen Shitou's wolf ambition, it was impossible to be satisfied with the protection of Fengshui Yinde in the mere Fudigou. He also knew that he had violated his poisonous oath that year and invisibly damaged his endless blessings. Therefore, the child under the Fengshui of Longtou Stele was the child of the corpse king in the twelve ghost caves. Both my father and Chen Zhuzi knew about this."
"Then they still agree to Chen Shitou?" I said in surprise.
"Chen Shitou knows half of it, and they both know the other half. Chen Shitou thinks the Dragon Head Stele is just a stone of Mount Tai, but they know it is not that simple, so even the child of the Corpse King will be suppressed forever as long as he is under the Dragon Head Stele." Chen Dongfang said.
The secrets Chen Dongfang told me made me feel refreshed, but at this moment, Chen Dongfang handed me a cigarette again and said, "I don't know much. The secret of the Dragon Head Monument is the Chen Family's ancestors. I can't tell you. I only know that the one who killed my father was Chen Shitou. He has already gotten along with Tang Renjie. I don't have much time here. The reason I told you this is to ask you to take good care of the lady."
"Miss? Who?" This sentence really surprised me.
"A girl who is troublesome is now at Chen Shitou's house." Chen Dongfang said.
