Chapter 48: The Little Coffin
This small coffin is no more than the size of a palm, but it is made of three long pieces of wood and two short pieces of wood in accordance with the rules of coffin manufacturing.
The implication is three long and two short.
The front and back are carved with a gilt-like substance with standard laying characters, which looks very exquisite.
Judging from the appearance, this little coffin is definitely not ordinary!
Ye Tianchen secretly used psychic magic to check it a little, this delicate little coffin turned out to be full of a trace of black gas, and suddenly his heart moved slightly, as he expected, this thing is definitely not an ordinary object, there are some doorways.
Ye Tianchen asked directly: "Boss, how can this exquisite little coffin be sold?" β
Hearing this, the lean boss looked Ye Tianchen up and down again, and did not say the price, but asked rhetorically, "Oh? Do you want to buy this? β
Ye Tianchen nodded silently.
The boss turned around and took the small coffin out of the cabinet and respectfully placed it in front of Ye Tianchen.
Ye Tianchen knew in his heart that his respectful attitude was definitely not for him, but for this delicate little coffin.
When the boss took the small coffin from the inside to the glass cabinet in front of him, Ye Tianchen smelled a faint smell of incense and candles, which was a special smell that had been stranded for a long time.
What kind of small coffin is this, and why does he have to worship it carefully?
For a while, I was very puzzled!
I've heard of worshipping gods, ancestors, gods, bodhisattvas, and the strange shrine of the old lady, but I've never heard of a small coffin, which is really a bit intriguing!
Coffins, in general, are unlucky! Not to mention the offering, even if it is placed at home, it is estimated that not many people are willing!
Why did the owner enshrine it? And that blue lantern, which is obviously a ghost lantern, why is it swaggeringly lit?
This moment made Ye Tianchen's heart unconsciously a little hairy.
The lean boss said again: "Young man, do you really want this little coffin?" β
His eyes seemed lifeless and listless for a moment, as if they were dead man's eyes, cold, as if they would give him goosebumps at the slightest glance.
Ye Tianchen suddenly said a little cramped: "I ......"
To be honest, he didn't want it now, and it seemed a little scary.
I always feel that there must be some unknown secret behind this little coffin!
The boss's tone instantly became very stiff and said, "What a waste of my time!" β
As he spoke, he was going to put away the delicate little coffin again.
Ye Tianchen was a little unhappy when he heard it: "Who said I don't want it, don't accept it so quickly!" β
The boss's eyes suddenly stared at him, and he said indifferently: "Junior, do you really want it?" Don't waste my time again! β
The attitude of the boss was very unfriendly, as if he was about to fight if he didn't agree with him! Ye Tianchen's eyes paused on the small coffin, he always felt that this thing was unusual, but he couldn't say what was unusual, and then immediately said ruthlessly: "Yes, why don't you make a price, how much is it?" I bought it at the right price! β
The boss didn't think about it, and said directly: "No money." β
When Ye Tianchen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, someone opened a store to sell things and didn't even need money, and he was not his relatives, classmates, or old acquaintances or something, how could he not want money? He didn't mean to be teasing himself, he was a little puzzled: "Old, boss, really, really don't want money?" β
The boss said categorically: "Well, I really don't want money, that, you wait for me." β
After saying that, he took out a bamboo ladder from the back room, quickly climbed up to the roof, and took down the blue lantern hanging on it.
The boss said seriously: "These two things are a pair, you can take them all." β
I rub, what? The blue lantern and this small coffin are actually a pair? What the hell is this?
A ghost lamp, a coffin! What kind of weird combination is this?
Ye Tianchen became more and more confused, and asked weakly: "Boss, these two things are things that can't be beaten, how can they be a pair?" β
The boss suddenly grimaced and said coldly: "I said they are a pair, and that is a pair." β
The temper tantrum of this African second brother is coming!
Ye Tianchen has seen a lot of people who open a store and sell things, and he has spoken so impulsively, it is really the first time he has seen it, and this person is very weird, he doesn't even need to give money to sell things, so he can't lose money!
Moreover, from the material to the craftsmanship of this exquisite little coffin, there is no doubt that it is definitely from the hands of a master, and the cost is probably not low.
It also carries a lot of weight in your hand, just like holding a large gold bar.
I silently looked at the blue lantern again, it was a papier-mΓ’chΓ© lantern.
The blue paste paper is a little faded, obviously some time, it is gray, it is very well preserved, there is no tear, and it is quite elastic when I touch it lightly with my hand.
Look at the candle inside, it's a red candle.
It feels weird, like a fake candle, but when you look closely, you suddenly realize that it is actually made of wood.
Red candles made of wood?
Can this lantern still be used? What is it?
Combined with this small coffin, it always feels a little strange in my heart! Is there any special meaning to it?
Before he could think about it, the boss said coldly: "Okay, okay, let's leave quickly after taking the things, don't disturb my business." β
He thought, this boss doesn't even need money to sell things, and he is so capricious with money? Then it's better to take a little more things at his house, anyway, he doesn't want money, so he said cheekily: "In addition, bring me some glutinous rice, red rope, incense candles, mirrors, white wine, and wine is best at 52 degrees by the white clouds, if not, the old branch river at 45 degrees is fine." β
The lean boss suddenly said angrily: "I only do dead people's business here, and I don't have any of these things you want." β
Ye Tianchen saw a cardboard box not far from the door, and there was a pile of candles in it, so he took one casually and said, "Isn't there a candle here, bring me some." β
Seeing this, the boss immediately shouted nervously: "Put it down for me, who told you to take things indiscriminately, it's really rude!" β
Hearing the angry shouts, Ye Tianchen was so frightened that he dropped the candles directly on the ground.
Syllable!
The candle was broken in two.
The boss hurriedly ran out, picked up the broken candle and roared angrily: "Do you know how much effort I wasted making these candles? Yes? You actually broke it? β
Ye Tianchen was at a loss, and hurriedly said: "Boss, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to!" β
The broken two candles are connected by a light line, and the light line of the candle is white, but the light line of this candle is red, which is a bit unusual!
But it also feels weird!
The boss held the candle that was broken in two, and he was distressed for a while, as if his child was injured, and sighed: "What's the use of saying sorry, a thousand sentences, can ten thousand sentences change the facts?" Alas, that's already how it is. β
The boss's reaction was a big surprise to him. Such a delicate little coffin is definitely worth a lot of money, and he doesn't feel distressed if he doesn't want money to give it to himself, but he breaks a candle, but he is distressed? When did candles become so valuable? No matter what, if you do something wrong, you have to apologize, Ye Tianchen said without hesitation: "Boss, how much is this candle, I will accompany you." β
The boss suddenly said angrily: "Accompany, what do you take to accompany you, do you want to accompany your life?" Yes? β
The boss roared angrily, like an angry lion!
Ye Tianchen muttered in his heart, didn't he just break a candle, as for what he said, is it so exaggerated? Is his life so worthless? Or is your candle made of gold? Even if it's made of gold, it's not worth your own life!
Suddenly, Ye Tianchen smelled an abnormal foul smell, which was disgusting, as if it came from the palm of his hand, and when he picked it up and smelled it, he almost fainted.
I'll it.
It's like being planted in a dung pit, how smelly it is.
Nima, how can it be so stinky, it's so greasy, it's got something on it.
Is it wax oil? But wax oil doesn't stink so much, does it? Even if it's gutter oil, it's more than that! What exactly is it made of?
Ye Tianchen covered his nose with his other hand and said, "Damn, what is this candle made of?" Why does it stink,, I'm about to get stinky. β
The boss said angrily: "What can you understand as a young boy, this is called a human fire lamp, hey, I told you that I also played the piano to the cow." β
What? What's that?
Human fire lamp?
Ye Tianchen had seen it in the strange book that the blind man gave him.
It is said that everyone has three fires, one on the top of the head, and one on the left and right shoulders, and this human fire lamp can only be lit by human fire.
The evil spirits are also very afraid.
Ye Tianchen was a little incredulous, and teased: "Qi, you just brag, this is really a human firelight?" Will you do it? β
The boss saw that Ye Tianchen actually knew about the human fire lamp, and immediately couldn't help but look at him with admiration, generally people who know this are experts, and said: "Hehe, I really didn't expect you to know the human fire lamp at a young age, then you should know how much it cost me to make such a little candle." β
The blind man's book mentions it only slightly, and it doesn't say how to make this man's fire lamp.
But listening to the tone of this boss, the price of this production must be very high. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been furious just now!
Ye Tianchen hurriedly apologized: "Boss, I really didn't mean it!" I didn't know this was a human fire lamp! β
The boss sighed and said, "Alas, forget it, forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, I was also at fault just now, I shouldn't have yelled and scared you." There's a reason for that too! Forget it, forget it! Let's go, let's go! β
Hehe, there is such a good thing, how could Ye Tianchen let it go.
