Chapter 335: Fake Death Tomb
Cover the coffin, also known as the "coffin" metaphor, family members, relatives and friends gather to remove the mask or paper on the face of the deceased, and bid farewell to the deceased.
If the deceased is a woman, the nephew or family members of the deceased should also be asked to inspect the dress and cover to see if there are any objections.
Then the coffin was officially covered with wedges, and family members, relatives and friends knelt down to say goodbye.
Before closing the coffin, the red cloth covered by the deceased should be pulled down from the feet to reveal his face, and then the red cloth should be torn off and the wooden lock should be quickly closed, that is, the mortise and tenon between the coffin lid and the coffin body.
Seven nails were used on one side of the coffin, and a small piece of torn red cloth was placed on each nail.
When the coffin was nailed, the whole family avoided crying, and only the son of the deceased had to stand next to the coffin and shout "hide the nails".
Neighbors and friends who participate in the coffin are required to wear red cloth strips, and the person who nails the coffin is given a reward, which is called "happy money".
After the coffin is covered, the children of the deceased have to pat the coffin several times, commonly known as "waking up".
The children of the deceased are to make a "pout" offering before the spirit, and then the people who participate in the burial will share the food, indicating that they will never be separated from the deceased.
In the middle of the night on the second day of the funeral, paper horses, carts, incense burners, tin foil and paper figures should be prepared, and the children of the deceased should be sent to the crossroads where the funeral must pass in the future to be burned to see off the deceased, commonly known as "sending the soul".
On the third night of the deceased's death, after the family bowed at the City God Temple and the Land Temple, one of the deceased's daughters would carry a soup jar and secretly grope for the pouring of the deceased, and call the deceased.
In addition, there is a substitute for agreeing, where three calls and three responses, and then crying out of the temple gate to go home.
Round-trip to deliberately detour far, after returning home crying and burning paper, called "burning road paper".
In some places, after someone in the family dies, or three nights, or five nights, or seven nights, the family has to go to the City God Temple to cry and call for relatives to come back, commonly known as "calling the night".
That's basically the whole process of the ceremony.
The folk coffin is basically seven nails.
But the coffin in this ancient tomb is nine nails.
And it was sealed using a secret technique that had been lost in the feng shui world.
The nine-nail coffin sealing technique is very special, and it has been lost for thousands of years in the feng shui world.
More than 1,000 years ago, there were still people using this kind of secret technique, which is not normal in itself.
Combined with the situation in this ancient tomb, as well as the five dragon vein essence stones.
This ancient tomb is full of weirdness.
"There is no problem with the corpse, it is the corpse of an ordinary person. Qin Feng looked at the coffin, touched and sensed the bones, and judged in his heart.
The old man's judgment was not wrong, judging from his bones, he was indeed a foreigner, not a Chinese anyway.
"But this coffin ......"
Immediately after, Qin Feng noticed the strangeness of this coffin.
Generally speaking, the coffins used for burial are mainly wooden coffins.
The wood is hard cypress and camphor as the superior, followed by pine, catalpa, acacia and so on, and willow is the most general.
The folk pay attention to it, no matter what kind of wood, cypress wood must be used on the baffle in front of the coffin, and at least one must be inlaid with one.
The plate is thick and large, the thickest is six inches, and the five (five inches and five minutes) are all superior, and so on, the bottom, cover, and side are called "single widths" for the whole piece, and a number of pieces are called "X blocks" respectively by the number of pieces they have pieced.
The whole coffin is rectangular, high in front and low in the back, wide in front and narrow in the back.
The coffin is painted on the outside, and there are several colors of black, purple, red, and yellow.
Even the customs of some places are divided in great detail.
For the deceased who are less than fifty years old, the coffin is painted with vermilion lacquer and is called a "red coffin".
Those over the age of 50 are mostly painted with golden yellow, which is called "golden coffin".
The outside of the coffin generally has a painted pattern, and the high-quality wood is based on the natural color of wood, and it is painted with plain and polished lacquer, which looks brilliant.
The pattern is generally a hundred longevity map, four seasons map, twenty-four filial piety picture or "ten thousand characters continue to be headed".
The front of the coffin is painted with a moire lotus platform, and it is written "XX of the Soul".
The small head paints incense and incense, and in some places paints cabbage. On the front of some coffins, auspicious sentences such as "Blessing is like the East Sea" and "Sound and Appearance are like in".
The inside of the coffin is coated with rosin or pasted with wheat paper, which means "gold into the cabinet" and "legacy descendants".
The coffin is also pasted with sun, moon, and Beidou patterns cut out of gold and silver paper.
In some places, a liner with seven holes is attached to the bottom of the coffin, called the "Seven Star Partition", indicating that the deceased "drove the crane immortal and entered the western heavens".
At the bottom of the coffin, spread lime, five-colored silk, thread, and grain, and then put seven copper coins, seven pieces of pig iron, and seven pieces of money cut from gold leaf paper, and then spread a mattress.
However, the current folk do not pay so much attention to it, and the general coffins are mainly black.
The golden coffin has gradually dissipated in the long river of history.
However, the coffin in front of him is golden.
And that's not even the most critical thing.
Qin Feng found that inside the coffin, there were some runes engraved.
These runes are all of the seal type.
If there were dirty things or zombies in this coffin, Qin Feng could understand these arrangements, all of this was normal.
But what made Qin Feng puzzled was that judging from the corpses, the owner of this coffin was an ordinary person.
The only difference is that there is a foreigner in the coffin.
An ordinary foreigner, buried after death, uses this kind of layout, which is obviously abnormal.
Moreover, there are many things that are not normal.
The entire ancient tomb, except for the coffin and the construction of the burial chamber, is no different from the ordinary ancient tomb, and there is no special place in the feng shui pattern.
The construction of the main burial chamber may be explained by the reasons of foreigners.
But the coffin itself is not normal.
"Coffin!" Thinking of this, Qin Feng's mind flashed with inspiration, as if he had thought of something.
Qin Feng hurriedly took out a talisman from his arms.
Quickly gathering the spirit material, a sharp knife, appeared in Qin Feng's right hand.
In the next second, Qin Feng was directly on the lid of the coffin and scraped it with a knife.
The golden lacquered coffin was carefully scraped down by Qin Feng with a knife, little by little.
And so it was. Qin Feng squinted his eyes and said cautiously.
At this moment, on the lid of the coffin, a piece of golden lacquer that was scraped off did not reveal the wood itself.
Rather, it is a layer of copper skin, and the copper skin is imprinted with clear runes.
"Fake death tomb, I didn't expect that the fake death tomb in the legendary feng shui world really exists. Qin Feng sighed.
There are rumors in the feng shui world that some single feng shui monks, when they sense that their limit is approaching, will pass on all their resources and inheritance.
These lone Feng Shui monks have no family, no descendants, no sects, no disciples, and not even family members.
They also have another name in the Feng Shui world, which is called the Monk of Extermination.
These monks perceive that their limit is near.
Will take what he has, find a place, build an ancient tomb, and store it in it.
