Chapter 512: The tomb-robbing clan, Hanjia Village!
Bashu, outside the city of Yuzhou.
Quiet Valley.
Hanjia Village.
This is where the Han family has lived for generations. Although it is called a village, it is actually very prosperous and has the size of a small town.
But it is only the buildings that are prosperous. The scale of the buildings shows its former prosperity, but there are very few people.
The whole village was deserted and lacked the breath of life.
As soon as they arrived at Hanjia Village, Han Lingsha's expression became gloomy and she said, "Since my uncle passed away two years ago, I left here and never came back."
Liu Mengli said: "This place should have been very prosperous in the past, but now it is sparsely populated. Could it be caused by the curse that your family carries?"
Han Lingsha said, "Originally, our Han family has been robbing the rich and helping the poor for generations. Living in Hanjia Village, which has excellent feng shui, we were considered safe and sound. At that time, merchants would come to our Hanjia Village to buy antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and it was very lively here. But starting from my great-grandfather's generation, the Han family began to have short lives. The longest-lived ones were only over 30 years old, and the short-lived ones died in their early twenties. My father and mother died very early, and I was raised by my eldest uncle."
"Two years ago, my uncle also passed away. He was only 34 years old. I felt depressed and looked at Hanjia Village. I felt that Hanjia Village was just like a tomb. So I ran away from home and sought the way to cultivate immortality. I hope that my people can live longer. I don't ask for immortality or longevity. I just hope that they can live to 67 years old like ordinary people. I will be very satisfied."
Murong Fu said: "Your uncle Han Beikuang should be doing hard labor in the ghost world now, serving as a ferryman on the Styx River between the Yin and Yang worlds. If you go to the ghost world, you should be able to see your uncle."
Han Lingsha did not ask how Murong Fu knew it. She knew that Murong Fu was good at Fuxi's innate Bagua and his divination was extremely accurate.
"I believe that with your help, Master, we can definitely resolve the Han family's curse." Han Lingsha looked at Murong Fu, her eyes full of stars, "After all, you are a true immortal."
At this moment, from a house in Hanjia Village, there was a sudden loud cry, followed by funeral music with the beating of gongs and drums.
Looking again, I saw mourning clothes hanging in front of the house, obviously someone in the family had died.
Han Lingsha's heart skipped a beat and her expression changed.
"Lingsha? You're back? Who are these people?" When Han Lingsha was looking sad, a bright and youthful girl in yellow clothes caught sight of Han Lingsha and the others, and hurried over to say.
"This is my master, the Immortal Ziyin of the Qionghua Sect." Han Lingsha said, "This is my good friend, Liu Mengli, Yun Tianhe."
After introducing Murong Fu and the others to the girl, Han Lingsha said to Murong Fu, "Master, this is my best friend, A-Mo."
"Ah, Lingsha, you ran away from home two years ago and left a letter saying that you were going to look for an immortal. Did you really find him?" Amo said in shock.
"Of course. Sixth brother Han Qiao, he? He won't..." Han Lingsha said in a trembling voice as she looked at the family in mourning.
"Sixth Brother Qiao died just after getting married," Ah Mo said sadly, "We in the Han family are like this, and everyone is used to it. Isn't it the same for us? We live one day at a time. As long as we are happy while we are alive, that is better than anything else."
"He's only 25! I will definitely change all this, I will!" Han Lingsha gritted her teeth and said to Murong Fu, "Master, I'll take you to my home! My brother may know more about the Thunder Spirit Pearl."
After that, Han Lingsha said to Ah Mo: "Ah Mo, I don't have time to chat with you now. Is my brother at home?"
"He's at home." Ah Mo looked at Murong Fu and others curiously, "It seems that Lingsha, you really found the Sword Immortal. If you can solve the problem of our Han family, you will be a great contributor to our family. I will tell everyone!" Han Lingsha said: "Don't tell everyone yet, wait until I solve this matter."
Amo nodded.
Han Lingsha hurriedly took Murong Fu and others to her home.
Han Lingsha's home is on the east side of the village. Although her house is not as good as the Liu Mansion where Liu Mengli lives, it is also a large courtyard with two entrances and two exits. The house is not magnificent, but it is obvious that she is a wealthy family.
"My parents passed away very early. My brother and I depended on each other for survival. We were both raised by my uncle." Han Lingsha said, "My eldest brother's name is Han Qingjin."
Liu Mengli didn't know how to comfort Han Lingsha. As soon as they arrived at Hanjia Village, Han Lingsha's mood was not right.
But if I think about it, if all my people died young, I would feel a lot of pressure.
Thinking of this, Liu Mengli couldn't help but feel a little pity for Han Lingsha.
"It's hard for a little girl like you to run around for the people of the clan. However, the road is tortuous, the future is bright, and things will get better in the future." Murong Fu said, "I think the most urgent thing is to gather the people of the clan and announce an event first."
"What's the matter?" Han Lingsha was stunned.
"Stop all tomb-robbing activities." Murong Fu said, "It seems that your Han family died young because of tomb-robbing. It may be that you have robbed tombs too much for generations, and you lacked a lot of Yin De, so the retribution came to the world of the living. If you stop robbing tombs, the lost Yin De may not be made up, but at least you will not lose Yin De anymore. I think your Hanjia Village is quite wealthy, and you will not be unable to survive without tomb-robbing. You can change your career to do business or something. You have been robbing tombs for generations, and you have accumulated a lot of knowledge about antiques and curios. Just doing this business, you will have no worries about food and drink."
Jingtian, the reincarnation of the divine general Fei Peng, relied on the antique business to buy back the Yong'an Pawnshop, and then expanded his business across Bashu and became the richest man in Yuzhou.
Han Lingsha herself has extraordinary knowledge of antiques and collectibles. There are so many people in the Han family, and there are many talented people in this field. If she changes her career to the antique business, there will be great potential for her.
"It should indeed be stopped, but I can only persuade a few of my close relatives." Han Lingsha said, "Our Han family's ancestral precept is to take away the dead's useless treasures, robbing the dead to help the living. In the early years, our Han family was kind and generous. On the one hand, there is this ancestral precept, and on the other hand, tomb robbing is always a sin, and doing some good deeds can comfort ourselves. But the most important thing is that there were clan leaders and elders in the clan back then. They were highly respected, and naturally everyone could abide by the ancestral precepts."
"But in recent years, it has become impossible, because the Han family has short lifespans, and there are no respected elders in the clan. Even after my uncle passed away, there was no clan leader. Many clan members did not listen to the ancestral teachings. Except for a few of us who still abide by the ancestral teachings, robbing the rich to help the poor and doing charity, many clan members have begun to degenerate. They rob tombs just to make money, and then squander it in their short lives."
Murong Fu said: "Your Han family doesn't have a clan leader? That's easy, you can just be the clan leader. No matter what, even if it's a relative, sometimes physical persuasion is more effective than words. You have learned my way of immortality, and you are already a great master in human martial arts. Don't be soft-hearted. If someone doesn't follow the ancestral teachings, he is not just an ordinary rebellious son or grandson, you must strike him hard!"
"That's fine. I've disliked them for a long time!" Han Lingsha was eager to try and punched the paulownia tree next to her.
boom!
The paulownia tree was hit directly through, and it shook and fell to the ground.
"Me?" Han Lingsha was dumbfounded.
"Your martial arts have reached perfection. This is the result of your casual attack." Murong Fu said.
"Who is it?" At this moment, a young man in blue came over with a few servants. When he saw Han Lingsha, he was overjoyed, "Sister, you are back?"
