Chapter 989: Shimen Cave [9]
The second master glanced at me, and I couldn't help but turn away.
Actually, I know that what the second master said is right, it has been so many years, and the tomb is in a hot and humid place, even if there is no rain and wind, many things are rotten into mud, let alone such a small tomb. But I don't want the grave to be rotten, and once it does, many things can't be traced, and I'm now at the point where I'm hungry for even the slightest clue, and my grandfather has too few clues left!
"Just check it out." Lin Guyi said lightly.
The second master nodded, "No matter how good or bad it is, it's always down-to-earth when you see it, even if it's really rotten, at least there's rotten mud, isn't it?" ”
We took a bus and an ox cart, and it took us most of the day to finally arrive at the Chu family's tomb in the evening.
The tomb was built next to the woods, or rather, in the woods, with a tomb in the middle, surrounded by trees from few to many, and behind the trees, a pair of doorposts.
I touched the body of a tree, and saw that the body of this tree was bigger than two bowls, and it looked very thick, and there were all such trees around. Closer to the doorpost, there was the front of the tomb, and in front of the sunken mound, there was a tablet with illegible handwriting.
"Look! Sure enough, it collapsed! The second master sighed regretfully, walked up and squatted down, and touched the tablet, only to see him touch it for a long time, and suddenly wondered, "The year of this tomb seems to be not long ......."
I approached and squatted beside him, the monument was carved in stone, with wind and rain erosion lines, however, looking at the depth of the lines and the material of this stone, it is true that it will not exceed a hundred years.
"The trees here are at least 500 years old...... I said suddenly.
The second master stood up, stepped back with me, and retreated to the outside of the pair of doorposts, only to see that the material of this doorpost was similar to that of the tombstone, and the lines on it were also deep and shallow, about the same age.
Repair the door post in front of the tomb, commit the taboo of feng shui, and this tree is older than the age of the tomb, it is even more strange, it stands to reason that this place should be all more than a hundred years of trees, who will be in the woods, specially clear out a piece, build this tomb?
Not only sunken, but also strange graves.
A cold wind blew, and it was clearly summer, but I shivered.
"The person who repairs this tomb is afraid that he has a great enmity with the owner of this tomb."
If there is no great hatred, why deliberately make such feng shui to harm him?
Lin Guyi looked around and checked all the trees around the tomb, those trees had no traces of transplantation, they should be native, I didn't get close to the tomb, I went around a little far from that place to observe.
The tomb behind the monument was sunken in a large area, and it looked like someone had hit it with a huge stone, but the soil of the tomb was not new, and the grass on it was also lush, so it was ruled out that someone had smashed the tomb after repairing it.
Lin Guyi took out the tools and handed them to me, he and I took a shovel to open the grave, and the second master pinched the soil next to him in his hand, rubbed it, sniffed it again, and then pulled out a lot of grass on it.
Lin Guyi and I were paying attention to the surroundings while shoveling soil, and we always felt that the cool breeze around us was weird.
Actually, maybe it's just because of the tree.
With so many trees, you can't stay next to it without being in the shade.
After digging for about half an hour, the entire tomb was finally leveled, and Lin Guyi carefully removed the soil.
I reached out and tapped on it.
Knock knock, under the layer of soil is the coffin.
The second master suddenly stood up and said, "You say, in such a damp place, is it already rotten inside?" ”
I said, "No matter how rotten it is, the bones will remain." ”
Lin Guyi frowned and said nothing, I took a long strip with him and signaled to the second master.
The second master took the tool and pulled out the nails on the coffin.
Lin Guyi and I prying aside, and the second master pushed the coffin board, "drink" a few times, and pushed the coffin board away.
The sound of heavy friction echoed through the trees. After pushing most of the time, the second master exhaled a breath and stood aside with me and Lin Guyi.
"What's in there?" I asked.
The second master was closer to the coffin and glanced at it, "It's a corpse." ”
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at least nothing really sucked was gone.
"But......" said the second master again, "there are only bones." ”
Don't talk about me, even Lin Guyi raised his eyebrows in surprise. Although this place is damp, no matter how damp it is, it will not rot for decades and only bones remain.
I approached and looked more closely, and saw that there were only white bones in the coffin, and the white bones were not only dry, but also clean.
This is not right.
Even if the flesh and clothes of the corpse were rotten, it was impossible for such a heavy coffin to have no liquid flowing at all, and it should not be so clean.
"This ......" Lin Guyi said a word, and suddenly stopped.
He looked at me, and I suddenly realized something.
Actually, this situation is not completely impossible.
If the corpse here was originally just a white skeleton, then it was entirely possible.
But if this is the case, this tomb will be very strange, the second master looked carefully into the coffin, and almost stuck his head into it. Although the inside of the coffin was clean, the coffin was a coffin after all, and he would not stick his head into it unless it was necessary.
"Maybe I want to ask the people of the Chu family......" Lin Guyi looked at the trees on all sides and said in a low voice.
The second master and I both thought that what he said made sense, so we looked at the tomb like this, and we couldn't see anything deeper. The Chu family is easy to find, this neighborhood is the village of the Chu family, the second master found the Chu family and said the matter, clarifying that we want to know the deeds of the tomb owner in his life. Originally, I thought it would take a little more lip service, but the Chu family sent a few old people without saying a word.
The old men were very old, and the eldest one had lost all his teeth and was supported by the other old men.
When we saw them coming tremblingly, we were grateful and frightened, and we all thought in our hearts: This tomb is really strange, otherwise the Chu family would not have bothered so many elders to come and explain to us.
When the old man arrived at the tomb, he looked at us and then at the tomb, and one of the oldest sighed, touched the body of a tree, and said, "This was a long time ago......
As soon as he opened his mouth, I knew that there must be a story in it, and Lin Guyi and the second master glanced at each other, and they both pricked up their ears to listen.
"The owner of this tomb, originally called Chu Ming, at that time, the land had not been reformed, the landlords were rich, he was the largest landlord in the ten miles and eight villages, because of the rich family wealth, easy and hard work, he did something that should be thundered by the sky, bullying the poor peasants, occupying the people's daughters......"
Another old man sighed: "The sky has eyes, and I was finally caught and shot by the government!" It's just that as soon as he was shot, this village ...... The wind is gusting, and I always feel that something is wrong, and so is our Chu family...... It's always unlucky, like an evil ......"
