Chapter Forty-Eight: About the Master
Chapter 48 about the master
1
Uncle Lu has been following the scientific expedition team for a period of time and has seen a lot of things, and now he suddenly said the conclusion of this dead coffin, and we all became interested, and we gathered around him and asked him to tell us.
"The young master of the Yun family hasn't heard of the death coffin either?" Uncle Lu asked Yun Ximing, and Yun Ximing shook his head.
"My grandfather mentioned it before, but he didn't say what it was, and I didn't ask in detail, so I didn't know too much." Uncle Lu nodded, was silent for a while, and began to tell us about the dead coffin. Although our Kui family often deals with ghosts, we don't know much about dead people, and Yun Ximing's qualifications in the Yun family are still shallow, but it turned out that Uncle Lu, who I was dragging here, actually knew a little bit about it.
"The story starts when I just returned to the place after I was discharged from the army, I didn't expect that I would go to work in the expedition team, I have no work experience, and I don't know how to go to the ground, but I have good skills, because my wife had an accident on the way to the expedition, and disappeared mysteriously, the central expedition team always feels that we owe something to our families, so the people who disappeared after participating in the expedition, their families have been properly settled, and many people's families have given up petitioning, and after so long, everyone has no illusionsIn addition, the arrangement of the scientific expedition team is very proper, to put it mildly, some families are a blessing in disguise, lose a person, and live a family, but all the children and brothers and sisters who can arrange jobs and pass the political examination have become civil servants. Things gradually subsided, but I was different from them, my wife and I were orphans, it was my old political commissar who helped us introduce each other to each other when I was in the army, we were busy with work, and there were no children, so how to place me became a problem, and finally I proposed myself, if I could, I would like to work in the field exploration team of the scientific expedition team, work in the front line, maybe one day I can find my lover, whether it is life or death there must be a statement, so I joined the scientific expedition team. Uncle Lu's voice was not loud when he said this, we listened very seriously, this was the first time he mentioned his lover in front of us, it was extremely heavy, Uncle Lu calmed down and continued.
"When I first arrived at the scientific expedition team, I couldn't catch up with a lot of things, I had no cultural foundation, no professional knowledge, I didn't know anything except a handful of strength, and then I recognized a master, speaking of which, this master is also the same generation as the two of you, that is, Ge Younian, who was called Ge Erye in the rivers and lakes before."
"Ge Younian!" Yun Ximing and I exclaimed in unison.
"Why are you reacting so much, this guy surnamed Ge is also a monster?" Dazhe asked in confusion.
"Don't you understand, don't talk nonsense, the Ge family has been a hundred Xiaosheng for generations, the things in the sky know ninety-nine, and the things on the earth know one hundred, and it is passed to Ge Younian here, although it is already the era of chaos and the family is in decline, but the Ge family is famous for selling news and knowing astronomy and geography, but I heard that this Ge Younian has lived to be nearly a hundred years old now, doesn't it mean that he was killed during the special period, and the person is gone." Yun Ximing explained.
"No, it's true that people are gone, last year's ninety-eighth birthday of my master was also the day of his death, and he already knew that there was such a day, so he prepared a qiē in advance and sat down at home. People like my master's family will not be killed, everything seems to be as if he has calculated, and during the special period, he attacked the cow, ghost, snake and god, and my master was also imprisoned, but later he bailed out a big man and changed his name to join the scientific expedition team, as for what happened I don't know. Uncle Lu said.

"Uncle, then the matter of this ghost coffin is what your master Ge Er Ye told you?" I asked.
"That's right, at that time, I was in the scientific expedition team, that is, I was doing chores, and I didn't get any chance to participate in the scientific expedition, but I met my master by chance, and he felt that he was destined for me, so I became his only and last closed disciple, and for two hours a day, my master would call me to the office alone and tell me stories."
"Storytelling?" Yun Ximing blurted out in surprise, "Uncle Lu, I heard that the Ge family has a book "Baixiao Collection" co-authored by the masters of the past dynasties, which records the changes and laws of time and everything, and it is a complete book of all things, but in the end, no one found this book, didn't it pass it on to you?" ”
"There's nothing like that, even if there is, I haven't seen it, my master just tells me stories day after day, many of them are bizarre and weird, and some of them are the strategies of kings and celebrities, and he asks me to write them down, or record them, and sometimes ask me about the stories I have told before, I actually think this kind of class is quite interesting, but I don't think it's useful."
"Uncle, you should talk about this ghost coffin." I asked anxiously.
"I remember a story that says that a girl and three young men went to rob the tomb with an old man, and walked into a strange ancient tomb, and found a particularly dilapidated and cheap old coffin, but the coffin could not be opened, or for some reason, they could not open it, so they planned to move the coffin to the side, but the coffin was so heavy that it could not be lifted at all, and the four corners of the original coffin were all nailed to the ground with 10,000-year-old nails, and pig iron was poured around it. But if you drill under the coffin and look at it, you will find that this coffin is a dead coffin that is fixed to the ground and cannot be lifted. Most of the coffins are living coffins, but there are also special circumstances that will cause dead coffins, dead coffins are divided into two kinds, one is that the corpse inside has a vision of corpse transformation before burial, and the monster is afraid that the monster after the corpse transformation will cause trouble to the coffin, so the coffin will be fixed and the corpse inside will be sealed. The other is that this is not a coffin at all, but just a bait mechanism, and it will definitely be tricked when the coffin is opened. ”
As Uncle Lu spoke, Yun Ximing had already gotten under the coffin, and after three or two strokes, he got out, "That's right, it's exactly the same as what Uncle Lu said." ”
"Three young men, a girl, and an old man. I said Yin Yin, why is the story told by Lao Lu's master so similar to ours. Dazhe sighed on the side.
"I thought about this statement just now, but we don't have any old people here." Uncle Lu said.
"No, there are old people." I said and looked behind me, and Ji Ziyang was standing there with a cold face.
"You mean...... Your thousand-year-old ghost golem? Yun Ximing asked.
"An old ghost who has been saving for a thousand years, can't he still be an old man?" I asked rhetorically.
"So, Uncle Lu's master is talking about us? He's a prophet of the unknown. Yun Ximing said.
"I think I know." I suddenly realized the mystery here, "This is "Baixiao Ji", "Baixiao Ji" is the unpredictable prophet of all things in the world, Ge Erye should have passed "Baixiao Ji" to Uncle Lu in this way, if I don't guess wrong, the things of Uncle Lu's generation are in these stories, this is the secret of the Ge family, they can predict their future." Helping others to tell hexagrams requires knowing the future of others, but if you know your future, you will also know what kind of people will ask you what kind of things at what time and place. They don't really count others, but focus on themselves. ”
