Chapter 240: Dragon Bar
Cui Rongguang heard that the coffin was very rare, and saw that Zeng Ruoke had been nodding all the time, so he already believed it. But even if he believed it, he was very excited, but he was still more concerned about how to move the coffin or open it.
But after waiting for a while, when he saw that I was no longer talking, he had to calm down and think. Immediately after, he discovered a key thing that he almost overlooked.
He leaned down and grabbed me sharply. The swift one had forgotten even the least of politeness, and had not avoided the wound on my hand.
Jiang Yifeng suddenly became anxious, pushed him away and shouted, "What are you going to do?" ”
Cui Rongguang hurriedly apologized, but then, he pounced again, he pulled me and asked, "Do you know this coffin?" Do you know where King Wei Xiang's coffin ended up? How is it opened? ”
I was stunned for a moment and replied, "Then how do I know?" The book said that Liu Qu couldn't open the coffin and couldn't move it, so he had to leave it in place. Now, thousands of years have passed, how do I know where his coffin went? Aren't you an archaeological captain? You should know! ”
Cui Rongguang's face obviously flashed a trace of loss, and he said to me: "That is to say, I don't know in the book, how can this coffin be opened?" ”
Hearing Cui Rongguang say this, I nodded.
Over there, Zeng Ruoke, who finally came back to his senses, sighed even more.
"Why don't you transport the coffin back to the city first, and then we'll study it carefully?" Cui Rongguang proposed.
I know that's what he said to me. He wanted me to find a way to get him this coffin out into the city! But with such a big coffin, where is it enough for eight people to carry it? Not to mention eight, sixteen people may not be able to move.
I looked at their numbers, and then at the number of people on my side. frowned, "There aren't enough people!" Moreover, the dragon bar didn't brought, what to carry it? ”
"Dragon bar?" Cui Rongguang was puzzled: "Isn't it okay to use these few sticks we tie?" ”
"Of course not!" It was not me who spoke, but a Eight Immortals behind me, who shouted at Cui Rongguang with a loud voice: "When you people in the city look at you, you don't understand anything!" Can you do without a dragon bar? Without a dragon bar, you can't lift the coffin, do you want to blame the little coffin master again? ”
Cui Rongguang was said by him, his face was red and white for a while, and he could only look at me. That look was quite a plea for help.
I had to explain to him, "The dragon bar was handed down by our ancestors in our village and has been kept in the temple in the village. Whoever has a white affair must be lifted with a dragon bar. Especially the sixty-four dragon bars, which are carried by big coffins and big people. Over time, the ancient Buddha with green lanterns all year round is spiritual, and not all ordinary wood can be replaced. ”
Although this is a mysterious statement, it is also true.
In the countryside, it is much more elaborate than in the city.
The dragon bar is used to carry the coffin, and it is impossible for every family to have it, and it cannot be left without a pair in the whole village. But according to the rules, it can't be placed in our house.
Because that kind of thing, everyone can see it at the funeral, and it can be used every time, and it carries bad connotations such as white things and bad luck. If it is placed in our home, it is equivalent to a commonly used utensil, just like pots and pans.
Imagine, pots and pans can be used every day, and if the dragon bar can be used every day, then what is it?
But in someone else's home, it's not like words.
Although it is said that it is easy to borrow and repay, it is not difficult to borrow again, but when it is really time to repay, you also have to see what you borrowed. For example, if you borrow a dragon bar, unless someone comes to you to ask for it, you must not pay it back!
Because if you take the initiative to send the dragon bar to someone's house, it is equivalent to sending a white thing to someone's house, which is definitely something that can make enemies!
But no matter how unlucky it is, it can be used by everyone. You can't always ask around every time you want to use it, whose family is the last one who died? Where did the dragon bar go?
What to do? So everyone could only think of a compromise and put the dragon bar in the temple. Whoever wants to use it, go to the temple and use it. Use it, put it back again. Anyway, there are gods in the temple to protect it, and I am not afraid of any bad luck.
It's been a long time, and I heard my grandfather say that it is indeed spiritual.
Seeing that Cui Rongguang didn't believe it, I told him the story that my grandfather told me at that time, "Our family has carried coffins for generations, and when my grandfather was still doing this, the sixty-four-carrying dragon bar has been used in the village for many years. It is said that he once carried the emperor! My grandfather said that my grandfather had a unique job back then. In his spare time at night, he went to the temple and stayed with the dragon bar, and gradually became familiar with each other. As long as he heard the strange sound of the dragon bar, he knew that it was a dead person. And you can hear from the sound, the age of the dead person, the man or woman, and sometimes even the approximate direction! ”
"This ...... No way! Cui Rongguang didn't believe in this kind of thing, but seeing that the eight immortals around him were all in awe, the village chief couldn't stop nodding, even if he didn't believe it, he couldn't believe that so many people didn't believe it with him, so he knew that he agreed, "Then when you go back to the village and carry the dragon bar, you can carry the coffin, right?" ”
"Oh, that's not going to work." I said.
Cui Rongguang immediately raised his eyebrows and said to me, "Why can't you do it?" Is there anything missing? ”
"It's missing." I nodded, "Sixty-four, there must be sixty-four!" There are only eight on my side, and with yours, there are not enough people! ”
"Lack of manpower is not a problem." Cui Rongguang waved his hand and said to me, "I'll go to the village next to me and borrow their Eight Immortals." ”
"Well, that's fine." I nodded, but then denied, "It's okay to borrow people, but the Eight Immortals really don't have them in every village." If you have to find the Eight Immortals, I'm afraid you'll waste a lot of time. Anyway, this is unearthed, not into the ground, many rules should be broken have been broken, can be lifted, it doesn't matter whether it is eight immortals or not, understand the rules or not. As long as it's a man in the prime of life, he can lift it. ”
"Isn't it easier?" Cui Rongguang said excitedly.
After discussing this matter, Cui Rongguang didn't even want to send someone to watch it here. Anyway, if anyone can open the coffin, or carry the coffin away at night, he Cui Rongguang should also be convinced. That can only be said to be providential!
On the way back, Jiang Yifeng pushed me and walked behind slowly.
Seeing that there was a large distance from the person in front of him, and after confirming that the person in front of him could not hear the communication between us, he asked me, "Jiujiao, do you really have a way to lift that coffin?" It looks heavy! ”
"It's heavy." "But the key to lifting the coffin is never in the weight of the coffin itself!" What I'm worried about is what's inside! ”
"What's inside? You've been reincarnated a long time ago, right? Jiang Yifeng said.
"I hope he's reincarnated, so we can just get the coffin and get them in the car, and we don't have to worry about anything else. But without the inexplicable worry in my heart ......, I always felt that this matter could not be so easy. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Yifeng immediately asked, "What if not?" ”
I leaned back on the back of my wheelchair and instead of answering his question, I said to him, "I can't stand up, I'm afraid I'm going to ask you to do it for me this time." If the soul of that thing hasn't left, I'm afraid it's going to be a corpse...... You have to be careful! ”
"I don't want you to carry the coffin, is it important whether you can stand up?" Jiang Yifeng retreated.
I glanced at him and didn't say anything more.
