Chapter 1188: Finding the Coffin
Later, someone told the Zhang family that sleepwalkers can't be woken up halfway, otherwise they will die, so the Zhang family found the village director and asked him to announce in the whole village that they should not go out of their way to find Lao Zhang who sleepwalked at night, let alone deliberately talk to them, so as not to have an accident, if there is an accident because of who deliberately went to find it, who will be fully responsible.
Now all the people in the village are honest, and no one deliberately looks for Lao Zhang in the middle of the night. But the Zhang family always had to treat him, looking for the Great Immortal God Han Witch everywhere, but to no avail, and later asked a friend to find the Taoist of the Xianyang Dynasty True Temple, and this happened.
"When I started sleepwalking, did Brother Zhang have any abnormalities? For example, there was an argument, what strange people or strange things happened, I got sick inexplicably, in short, everything suspicious is counted. I asked. The Zhang family thought about it carefully and said that it didn't seem to be anything. I asked Kaohsiung several times, but they all denied it, saying that they really didn't. Strangely, I could tell from their looks and eyes that something was hiding from us.
Kaohsiung asked: "To be honest, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with!" Guan Yu and his uncle also said to the Zhang family that you have to tell the truth to Boss Tian and Boss Gao, and you can't hide it.
But the Zhang family still said no, and then Guan Yu asked: "Is the construction of the coffin also Uncle Zhang's share?" Kaohsiung asked what construction was digging up the coffin, and the Zhang family was silent.
Guan Yu told us: "Listen to me, two months ago there was a place in the township to build a factory, and when the bulldozer was digging the foundation, a tomb was raised, with bricks and stones, and a large coffin made of red and black wood in the middle, and a stone tablet with inscriptions next to it. At that time, many people watched, and Uncle Zhang happened to pass by there on an errand in the township, and he also went over to join in the fun. Some people coaxed that it must be ancient, and there were gold and silver treasures in it, and the man who drove the bulldozer opened the lid of the coffin. Perhaps unable to resist the temptation, the man who drove the floor shovel opened the coffin with several workers, saying that there was a fragrance wafting from it, and there was a dried corpse wearing a Qing Dynasty official uniform, and there were many things next to it, jade pendants, jewelry, gin cups and horseshoe gold. Everyone went over to rob, and the captain of the construction team said that they couldn't rob it, it was a national cultural relic, and it was a crime to rob it, and they would go to jail, and they called the police. A few timid people returned the loot to the coffin, but many more scattered. After the police came, they sealed the scene and brought in cultural relics experts from Hanzhong City, and the matter passed. ”
"What does it have to do with Brother Zhang?" I asked, and the Zhang family said the same.
Guan Yu's uncle said: "I heard Erlengzi say that Lao Zhang also touched something from that coffin to hide, is there any?"
The Zhang family all denied it, and Brother Zhang said: "Of course not, that's a violation of national law, doesn't it mean that coffins and tombs are cultural relics, where would we do that kind of thing!" Kaohsiung proposed to go to the three stone tablets at the entrance of the village to have a look, and Uncle Guan Yu and Brother Zhang took the two of us and walked through the three entrances of the village one by one, namely the East Village Entrance and the West Village Entrance and a small road in the back mountain. The three steles are exactly the same size, and some parts of the surface have turned black, which is believed to have been burned when the temple was destroyed in the fire. Some of the words engraved on it are no longer legible, but they are still very clear.
"It is said that it is a Buddhist scripture," Guan Yu's uncle pointed to the tablet and said, "but I don't know which scripture it is, the temple used to be built less than ten miles east of the village, and then it was burned during the war, and these three stone tablets remained, and the villagers felt that the stone tablets of the temple must be able to play a protective role, so they moved them and put them at the three exits of the village." ”
Kaohsiung gently patted the stele with his hand: "Those villagers who saw Lao Zhang sleepwalking in the middle of the night said that Lao Zhang was just wandering back and forth in the village, and when he walked near the stele, he no longer walked far, but walked in place towards the stele. The stone tablet is engraved with Buddhist scriptures, and it is worshiped by monks all day long in the temple, indicating that the tablet itself has a strong mental power and is considered a magic weapon. Lao Zhang was possessed by the Yin Spirit, and the Yin Spirit was naturally afraid of this powerful magic weapon, so Lao Zhang had no way to leave the village. ”
Guan Yu asked, "What if there is no stone tablet, where can Uncle Zhang go?" Kaohsiung said that what we have to do now is to let Lao Zhang leave the village for a night to try, and it is possible to know where he is going. After returning to the village, he told the situation, and Zhang's family agreed, and took Lao Zhang out of the village during the day, planning to find a relative's house in a neighboring village to spend the night. Kaohsiung refused, and asked them to take Lao Zhang directly to the township, and find a hotel as close to the original construction site as possible.
Lao Zhang's mother asked, "Why, why is this happening?" I smiled and said that judging from the symptoms now, we suspect that the uncle's evil behavior is likely to be related to his fishing in troubled waters and taking the contents of the coffin at the construction site. But he didn't admit it, and you didn't know about it, so we had to think about it first, otherwise we would have to blister on our feet when the time came to follow him from the village to sleepwalk to the village.
The Zhang family looked at each other, and Guan Yu said, "Yes, what Boss Gao said is right!" The Zhang family had no choice but to agree.
So, Guan Yu drove a car and took a few of us to the township, where the coffin at the construction site had already been picked up by cultural relics experts in Hanzhong City, and now the foundation is being built there. The township is not as good as the county seat, there are few hotels, and I finally found a very simple hotel two kilometers away, so that Brother Zhang and his younger brother lived in it, and I lived in the other two rooms with Kaohsiung, Guan Yu and his uncle. To make a long story short, we stayed for two days in a row, and in the middle of the night on the third day, someone knocked on the door of our room, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was Brother Zhang, and whispered, "My brother is out." "We knew he was finally sleepwalking, and we all went out.
The street was quiet, there was no half-human figure, let alone a vehicle. Seeing a figure hurrying ahead in the twilight, we followed closely, and sure enough, it was Lao Zhang. His arms swing naturally, his steps are large, and his movements are stiff, like a walking robot. The hotel was about two kilometers away from the construction site, and it was a quick walk. Seeing Lao Zhang walking straight to the construction site enclosed by the fence, the whole person crashed into the fence composed of tarpaulin, he took two steps back and turned his head to walk in the other direction.
This kind of action reminds me of a third-person game on the computer, where the characters move like that. Lao Zhang walked around a few times and walked in through a gap in the fence, where there was a pit in the middle of the foundation, and inside were cement piles mixed with steel bars. Lao Zhang was not afraid, he walked to the foundation in a daze, Guan Yu and his uncle and I hurriedly ran over to hold it, and we couldn't worry about disturbing Lao Zhang anymore.
Lao Zhang didn't struggle, he walked on his two legs, and muttered in his mouth: "It's here, it's here." ”
