Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sitting Tank

I looked at each other, and we both felt a little strange. Chen Ran stepped forward and used a dagger to pick out a larger piece of yellow, Lao Jiu took a pen and recorded something in his notebook, and said while writing: "This is a Buddhist temple, and the courtyard wall itself should be yellow, why should it be covered up?" ”

I was about to make a hypothesis, but Chen Ran interjected: "What do you write in your notebook, old wine?" Lao Jiu was a little embarrassed: "I'm old and my memory is not good, forgive me." ”

Everyone smiled slightly and said that it didn't matter, and the rotten master pulled the words back: "I heard that the walls of the temples dedicated to the emperors or royals of the past dynasties are yellow. ”

Chen Ran asked again: "What is the Imperial Division?" Brother Wu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke and replied: "It's the emperor's master, such as Liu Bowen, Zhuge Liang and the like." ”

The three of us nodded in agreement, I thought about it and added: "But this statement is not accurate, some people say that the color of the temple wall is related to the sunshine in the north and south, the temperature in the south is high, the sunshine is strong, and it is not good to use warm colors." Because there are too many statements, I don't know which one is accurate. ”

Everyone had no clue when they thought about it, so Master Rotten told us to disperse and look around for more clues.

I was a little interested in the open space behind me where no flowers or trees were planted, so I came here.

I stood there and took a cursory glance, and the ground was still paved with stone slabs, and many weeds grew between the stone slabs. Probably because it's too wide, it looks even more desolate here than it was before.

I took a few steps forward, but I saw that something was wrong with a stone slab in the upper right corner.

It's not that it's different from other slates, it's a little too neat. In the same place, the other stone slabs had some moss and weeds on them, but this one was unusually clean.

I wasn't sure if it was a dark room or a mechanism, so I didn't dare to make a move, so I called the big guys.

Needless to say, everyone saw it at a glance. The rotten master stopped us, walked over and squatted in front of the stone slab, he stretched out his hand and knocked, and a dull sound came from the stone slab.

It's solid, so it's not a dark room or a mechanism, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

The rotten master raised his hand to signal us to come over, and this time he stood up and tested it with his feet, the stone slab had traces of loosening, and it swayed from side to side with the strength of the rotten master.

He retracted his foot, turned his head over to us and said, "Move"

It's just one word, but it excites us a little. Chen Ran and I volunteered to pick up a corner by ourselves. Seeing that others were about to come forward to help, Chen Ran hurriedly refused, repeatedly saying that the two of us would be fine. I didn't stop him, but said to him, "I'll count one, two, three, and work together."

He nodded, and I looked into his eyes and counted, "One, two, three, up." ”

But it was very embarrassing that the slate did not move at all, and of course Chen Ran and I did not admit defeat and tried again. Obviously, it still can't be moved.

I saw that Chen Ran was starting to compete, so I hurriedly called Master Fu and Brother Wu to come over to help. Chen Ran's face was red, and he couldn't say anything, so he silently exerted his strength.

Finally, with the efforts of four people, the slate was moved by us.

The rotten master took out the sapper shovel from the bag and told us to dig down, and the big guys were full of energy, and it didn't take long to dig something.

Chen Ran bumped into something with a shovel, and he said excitedly: "Rotten master, Brother Huai, what about this." As he spoke, he took off his coat and pushed his glasses, full of energy.

We all dug in his direction, and in a moment we showed our heads. I stopped and didn't understand what it was for a long time. The rotten master glanced at me: "Go on, I can see a fart now, don't think about being lazy!" ”

So I started digging again, but when I saw it in its entirety, almost everyone present was stunned.

When Chen Ran saw it, he stopped picking and scolded: "Damn, Lao Tzu spent half a day digging out a giant pickle jar." ”

It sounds a little funny, but at this moment I can't laugh at all. I put the shovel aside and sat down, gasping for air.

Brother Wu gave everyone a bottle of water and told us to take a break, and Master Fu walked over to me and sat next to me and asked me what I thought about it.

I thought for a moment and replied, "I don't think it's possible that it's pickles in there." Master Fu agreed with me and nodded.

I suddenly smiled evilly: "What if it's zombie meat in '82?" Then the whole backyard echoed with my laughter and the shouting and scolding of the rotten master.

I held my stomach and looked at the rotten master with a smile, only to see that his face was full of black lines, drinking water on the side, and I realized the fun of Chen Ran now.

As soon as I packed up my emotions, Lao Jiu came over with a notebook, and said as he walked: "Dolls, I have turned it, I know what it is!" ”

Lao Jiu's words aroused everyone's interest, and he immediately took the initiative to surround him. He held the notebook and looked at the cylinder and said, "This is called sitting on the cylinder." ”

I searched my knowledge base and found that I didn't have this knowledge, so I asked, "What is a sitting tank?" ”

Lao Jiu took out his glasses from the bag on the left chest of the Zhongshan suit, put them on and looked at us and said: "The sitting tank is also called the monk's coffin, and the urn burial is a unique way for the monk to sit, which generally refers to the Taoist monk who passed away, sat in a special clay pot, and put charcoal, lime, spices and other items around the body to dehumidify and embalming, and then sealed and buried together with the cylinder." ”

He looked at me and Chen Ran and teased: "So it's not pickled vegetables in it, and it's not eighty-two year zombie meat." ”

These words made me and Chen Ran blush, and I muttered: "It's a high monk, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Then I saw Chen Ran standing in front of the jar with his hands folded and saying, "Amitabha, the monks are compassionate, and we have no intention of offending. ”

I felt that there was still a sense of ritual, so I learned from Chen Ran and talked with him. As soon as he finished speaking, the sky roared, and in an instant, dark clouds gathered overhead.

I looked at the sky that was gradually darkening, and I felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly said to everyone, "Let's go out and fill in the soil, and return the master to a quiet place." ”

Everyone nodded, and filled in even harder. After a while, the rain began to fall, and I hurriedly put on my raincoat and put the finishing touches on it.

After the slate was flattened, I stepped on two feet to ensure that it was firm, and after doing this, I took a shovel and hurriedly went into the wing room to hide from the rain.

As soon as the front foot entered, a thunderbolt struck the place where I was standing just now. Even though I am a materialist, I have to be in awe at this time.

I was a little frightened and my ears started ringing in my ears, and I shook my head with my eyes closed and shook off the feeling.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that everyone was surrounding me, Chen Ran grabbed my wrist and kept shouting at me: "Brother Huai, Brother Huai, are you okay?" "Everyone's face has a concern for me written on their faces.

I was stunned for a moment before I reacted, and then I responded to them, thinking that I would never make such jokes again.

Sitting in the room, I looked out the window at the rain and realized that I had almost died.
