Chapter 15: The Mystery in the Coffin
Sou~
The weasel quickly turned around and walked towards the neck of Shopkeeper Liu.
"It's over, Shopkeeper Liu doesn't have a chance to leave a message in the circle of friends, won't he die after this mouthful?" The black stuffy donkey was in a hurry, but he couldn't think of a way to save it.
Boom~
A muffled sound came, and I saw that the weasel, who was still baring his teeth just now, was lying on the ground struggling, and his limbs twitched violently.
"Even if you are Wong Tai Sin, you don't want to fight with the master, hum!" Shopkeeper Liu patted the dirt on his body, and a smug smile appeared on his vicissitudes of life.
"So you're pretending?" I snapped back to me.
Shopkeeper Liu mended a few sticks to the weasel on the ground, blood and brains splashed around, and then wiped the blood on his face, explaining: "People are old spirits, ghosts and old spirits, I don't need any means, I would have died in the hands of Huang Pizi." ”
The black stuffy donkey gave a thumbs up to Shopkeeper Liu, and Shopkeeper Liu raised his foot to kick the dead weasel aside.
"Alright, let's open the coffin quickly, lest something go wrong later. "I walked around the coffin, watching and urging everyone.
Shopkeeper Liu and the black stuffy donkey looked at each other and smiled, put their hands on the coffin cover, with my slogan, the three of us worked together, but only moved a few centimeters, although the density of the golden silk nanmu is very high, but it is not so heavy that three adults can't push it.
", this coffin lid has been sucked in, I have used all my strength to feed, why is there no movement at all, is it being pulled from the inside?"
"Shopkeeper Liu, don't talk nonsense, it's scary. The black donkey looked around, as if he was hiding from something.
I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead and said, "I don't know who is inside, it means that I don't want to see us, but if I don't open the coffin, I can't go beyond the Yin Spirit." ”
"Master Donkey, do you remember what it was like inside?" asked Shopkeeper Liu, pointing to the coffin.
At this time, the black stuffy donkey became nervous and said, "No...... What, it's just a female corpse in a red dress. ”
"What do you think of Wu Bin?" Could it be a zongzi?"
Shopkeeper Liu's words made me feel unconfident, this golden silk nanmu coffin is very conducive to the preservation of the corpse, plus the deceased itself has grievances, once the corpse is fraudulent, a few of us alone can't control the scene.
To be on the safe side, I put spiritual talismans on the four corners of the coffin, and then beckoned everyone to lift the coffin lid again.
This time, the three of us obviously felt that the weight of the coffin board had been reduced a lot, and we pushed it away with a little force.
"Hey, Wu Bin, your spirit talisman really works. Shopkeeper Liu praised me.
I ignored him and focused all my energy on the coffin.
Bang~
The lid of the coffin was pushed to the ground by the black stuffy donkey, and the scene inside became clear.
Inside the coffin lay a woman dressed in red, with her hands crossed over her chest, her pale yellow skin shimmering with a strange sheen under the lamp, and the whole person looked as if she had just fallen asleep.
"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have dared to believe that this was a dead person hundreds of years ago?
"Slow down, beware of fraud!" I grabbed Shopkeeper Liu's wrist and pushed him aside.
"It's not quite right!" the black donkey wondered, turned his back to the coffin, and continued: "I and the shovel have opened the coffin elsewhere before, how can the dead people in it be so bright, I remember that the skin on the faces of those dead people is sunken, how can it be like just dead now, it is so wrong." ”
I took out the "Strange Story" in my arms, opened it and explained: "This is called picking yang to supplement yin, butterfly hairpins and weasels have the yin spirit of female corpses, and when they absorb the yang energy of the world, she will become more moisturized." ”
Shopkeeper Liu scolded: "Grandma's, her yang energy with my daughter has been sucked away by her, how can she let her spit it out?"
I shook my head and said, "No way, have you ever seen anyone who eats something in their stomach and can spit it out in the end?" Our current task is to surpass her, as for the Yang Qi essence and blood lost by your daughter and Feng Hui, it can only be given to the female corpse as a gift package!"
Shopkeeper Liu hesitated slightly, and said, "This is a loss, what should I do next?"
I closed the "Strange Tale", motioned to Shopkeeper Liu and the black stuffy donkey to take a few steps back, and took out the yin and yang lines and the soul bell in the backpack.
Ding ding~
The crisp sound of the bell echoed in the tomb, and the female corpse was still lying quietly in the coffin.
At this time, I found out that the dress she was wearing was actually a wedding dress, could it be that she died unexpectedly on the wedding day?
"Wu Bin, what are you doing in a daze?" the shopkeeper urged Liu.
"I wonder who she is?" I put away the bell and shouted to the black donkey, "Have you and the shovel found her epitaph?"
The black stuffy donkey wondered, "What is an epitaph?"
Shopkeeper Liu sighed lightly and explained: "It is a tombstone that introduces the identity of the dead, the rich and noble people will engrave it on gold and silverware, and ordinary people will engrave it on the stone, looking at the identity of this female corpse, it should be engraved on a stone of good condition." ”
"Stones? It looks like there's a stone. The black donkey scratched his head and recalled.
"Where?" I asked.
"That's right, I want to come, when I first came in with the shovel, I did find a stone in front of the coffin, which was full of words, I didn't understand it after reading it for a long time, and I thought it was worthless and threw it aside, it should be in the ......"
The black donkey searched for the stone with the epitaph engraved in the tomb, but after walking a few steps, he fell to the ground with a thud, he quickly got up, inspected the things under his feet with the lighting rod in his hand, patted his thigh and shouted, "Find it, this is it!"
I wanted to go over to inspect it, but I was afraid that the female corpse would change, so I could only let Shopkeeper Liu do it for me.
"Ahem, my ancient Chinese skills are not very good, what is written on it, I will read it, you can translate it yourself. Shopkeeper Liu brushed the dust off the epitaph and brought the lighting stick in his hand close to the lighting.
While I was wary of the female corpse, I listened to the shopkeeper Liu's babbling confession.
"Li, born in the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi, the daughter of Li Shangshu in Kyoto, Hui Zhilanxin, dignified and Shu, died of a vicious disease, nine out of ten years old, the clansmen mourned, and wrote a mourning. ”
"Go on!" I urged Shopkeeper Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu spread his hands: "It's gone, it's over!"
I was a little surprised: "What? so short?"
Shopkeeper Liu pointed to the epitaph and explained: "This girl has lived for a total of nineteen years, and it is not written on it, nine out of ten, I can still understand this sentence, it seems that she is seriously ill." ”
I shook my head and said, "It's not that simple, there are a few key information points in this, first of all, she is the daughter of Li Shangshu during the Kangxi period, how can there be only so many words from the daughter of such a high-status family? This shows that something was deliberately hidden at the time of the burial!"
The black stuffy donkey nodded and said, "That's right, I also think this girl is not simple, but I can't tell what's wrong, hehe, you still know a lot about it." ”
Shopkeeper Liu pouted and said: "Donkey master, I didn't expect you to be a sycophant, since you are the daughter of a big family, there must be a lot of funeral goods in it, why only sell me a hairpin? It's a ghost." ”
Shopkeeper Liu's words are very reasonable, since this girl was born in a large family and died at a young age, the family will definitely use a large number of funeral goods to relieve the grief, not to mention that in the feudal period, thick burials are also in line with common sense, how can there be only one butterfly hairpin?
The black stuffy donkey pointed to the second shovel that was fixed next to him, and cried: "Oh, I have a mother, let me tell you the truth, this tomb hole was accidentally discovered by me and the shovel, when the hole was opened, we touched in, and found some jewels scattered on the ground, so they all picked it up and put it in their pockets, but there were not many things, just a few pearls the size of grapes." ”
Shopkeeper Liu was surprised: "Tut, do you hear, it's just a few pearls the size of grapes, how many times have you seen such a big pearl in your life, it's a peerless baby, there are eyes that don't know gold and jade." ”
I guessed it wasn't that simple, and motioned to the black donkey to continue.
"Then the shovel and I saw the epitaph, and found that it was a stone, and kicked it down, and then we both opened the coffin, and then we saw the female corpse and the butterfly hairpin!"
I asked, "Are there only female corpses and butterfly hairpins in the coffin?"
At this time, I noticed a strange restraint on the black donkey's face.
