Lin Zhao shook his head and said: "None of them!"

"This is weird!"

In the art of magic, the ghost leads people up the stairs for only one purpose, which is to make people roll down the stairs.

The only places where ghosts specialize in killing people are in the middle of the stairs and at the corners of the stairs.

When walking up the stairs, don't follow the person in front of you too closely. Being too close means that your feet are not stable. The person suddenly turns around and a bloody face appears from above. The person behind you will be frightened and fall down the stairs.

I can't get up either.

The same is true for the corners of stairs. When people go up the stairs and go around the corner, they usually don't look at their feet, but at the corridor. However, the ghost squats in the blind spot of people's sight, reaching out to grab people's feet.

wrist.

When going upstairs, if the person in front of you makes no sound while walking, then you really need to be careful because the other person's feet are not touching the ground.

Lin Zhao followed Zhang Hua upstairs, but he didn't do anything else. Could it be that he just wanted to separate us?

I quietly glanced at Zhang Huacai behind me and said, "Manager Zhang, what do you want me to see?"

"Come this way!" Zhang Hua led us into the office and took out a yellowed genealogy from the safe: "This is the genealogy of that family. Look carefully at Rong Xuan's spouse!"

"Ten people!" I glanced at the family tree and couldn't help but be stunned.

Ancient people could take concubines, but their status was only higher than that of slaves and could not be included in the family tree.

As for the term "equal wife", before the end of the Qianlong period, the "equal wife" had no legal status. Even if the "equal wife" had a certain legal status at the end of the Qianlong period, she was still regarded as a concubine. It was not until the Daoguang period that the concept of "equal wife" appeared.

It is said that the legal wife and the peaceful wife are "big at both ends" or "opposite".

After Daoguang, although the status of equal wives was confirmed, men would still only take in any number of concubines, but they would not marry equal wives regardless of the number.

Because in ancient times, the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines was very clear. The legitimate sons born by the principal wife could inherit most of the family property, but the legitimate sons born by concubines could only inherit a small part of the family property, or even none.

A son born from an equal wife is also a legitimate son, or he is called a " legitimate son", and his legal status is equal to that of a legitimate son. The result of having more equal wives may be an additional clan.

If I were to explain this matter of "Zongzu" and "Jianzu" in detail, I'm afraid it would take an hour or two. When my master told me these things, he didn't go into too much detail. He just told me: Remember to use incantations.

When you are there, just push up along Ping's wife and heir, and you can kill his ancestor.

I looked at the genealogy carefully: "Then Rongxuan didn't have nine equal wives. Did he have nine wives who died?"

Zhang Hua raised his thumb and said: "Hall Master Li is right again! Rongxuan married nine wives in nine years, and nine of his wives died. These people were naturally included in the family tree.

.”

I took a breath of cold air: "You mean to say that the nine principal wives of Rongxuan are actually buried in Jiufenggou?"

If calculated according to the orientation of the tomb, this statement is true.

According to ancient burial customs in the Northeast, the first wife should be buried in the ancestral grave. However, if the head of the family died before the death of the head of the family, and the head wife had no heirs, she could only be buried closer to the ancestral grave first, and then wait until the head of the family passed away to join the grave.

The old man of the family was buried on Maomao Mountain, and the Jiufenggou below happened to be the place where his daughter-in-law was temporarily buried.

If we follow this line of thinking, then the key to opening Erlin Town is the need for nine special female corpses. Moreover, these nine female corpses need to be buried using some special method. In this way, if you want to bury the corpses

I can't hide it from the nearby villagers.

Although that family has a great business, they may not dare to blatantly kill people and bury their bodies. However, those girls married into that family, and they are members of that family, so that family can bury them wherever they want.

The wild Taoist priest who stood on Mao Mountain and shouted: "Doing evil" should be referring to these nine girls who died unjustly.

In this case, part of the matter should be explained.

I said to myself: "Is there a warlock in that house?"

Zhang Hua opened the family tree again: "Look at these places?"

In that family tree, there is a person crossed out with a red pen every two generations. This means that the person has been expelled from the family tree and is not even allowed to use the family name anymore.

There are many children of famous families who are expelled from the family, but not many people are expelled from the family tree. Unless the other party has committed a serious crime that may implicate the family, or a serious crime that may lead to the execution of the Nine Clan.

In ancient times, some people who were officials would be temporarily expelled from the family tree by their family until the person retired from old age and returned to his hometown safely, and then the person was added back. This was because they were afraid that he would implicate the family when he was an official.

Zhang Hua said: "Judging from the genealogy, none of the people who were expelled from the family have ever come back. According to the consistent practice of the ancients, if these people went out to become officials, it is impossible for them not to come back. I suspect,

These people should have gone out to work as confidential killers or something like that."

"I've heard people say that the imperial courts of all dynasties have secretly raised warlocks to help them deal with those who practice magic. I think the people who disappeared from that family may have gone to a place similar to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
