With the lessons learned from the last tomb, I couldn't imagine what it was like inside this coffin that had been opened by the same gang.

For fear of scaring others, I don't plan to let anyone other than Jiang Yifeng stay and help me.

"You guys go out first, it's enough for me here." I watched as the Eight Immortals placed their coffins firmly on a few low benches, waved at them, and motioned for them to hurry out.

Seeing that I drove people away, the Eight Immortals naturally didn't want to stay here, after all, there was a danger of defrauding the corpse at any time when the coffin was opened, they were all people with families, if they could escape, they still didn't want to suffer any unnecessary danger.

When they withdrew and closed the door, there were only Zhang Youquan, the village chief, me and Jiang Yifeng in the house, a total of four people.

Outside, Liu Yunjiu and Tang Wei had already moved, although the shade cloth was not completely opaque, but after covering all the places where the light entered, it still made the whole room very dim. It's like a room in the hazy moonlight, and you can only see things if you squint your eyes and observe carefully.

I took the extinguished candlestick from the table, moved it outward, struck a match, and lit it. On the candlestick, he lit three pillars of incense, bowed three times to the north, and inserted the incense burner.

Then, he took out a yellow talisman that had been drawn before and had been in his pocket for a long time, pinched his fingers in his hand, stepped on his feet, and said silently: "Emperor Beiyin, give the talisman to the ghosts and gods; Those who violate the law will be killed without leaving their souls. Emperor Xudu is as anxious as a law, edict! ”

With the last sound, the yellow fu 'whirred', and there was no fire and spontaneous combustion.

I walked briskly around the house with the burning yellow talisman in my fingers, then threw the burned ashes into the censer, and looked at the slow-burning incense, I breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the coffin.

"Yifeng, bring me my carving knife." I said to Jiang Yifeng, and then said to Zhang Youquan and the village chief, "Let's step back, it's too close, I can't guarantee your safety." Don't worry, I'll show you as soon as there's anything. You're in the house, and I won't do anything, don't worry. ”

The village chief pulled Zhang Youquan back and said to me: "We naturally trust you little coffin, you can do it, just do it!" As long as you don't miss the hour. ”

All he was thinking about was not missing the hour, but all I was thinking about was what was in this coffin.

Today is an auspicious day, and many hours can actually be used, so I don't worry about missing the time. I'm worried about what's inside, and if it's something I can't control, I'm going to be out of luck.

It may have been unlucky to think so, so the thought just flashed through my mind and I threw it out of my mind.

Jiang Yifeng came over with a carving knife and handed it to me, I took the carving knife and found a slightly higher place to stand on the mud seal of the coffin.

Jiang Yifeng looked up at me and asked me, "Jiujiao, do you want to help?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Not for the time being, I'll talk about it when the mud seal is opened." ”

"Then you don't have to play it with an ink fountain first? In case ......" Jiang Yifeng's words were not finished, but the meaning was already very clear.

Those who do our job are more or less crow's mouths, and if you shouldn't say something, it's best not to say a word at all. But I understood what he said, he was afraid that the contents would suddenly deceive the corpse.

To put it bluntly, I'm scared too.

But I chose to open the coffin just to see what was inside, and I didn't plan to open it again after I let the yin qi out. Otherwise, there is no need to burn incense and burn talismans beforehand.

I said to Jiang Yifeng: "I have already burned the talisman just now, and the Emperor Xudu helped send ghosts to guard it, and no yin ghost dares to come nonsense." Let's hurry, there's no big problem. ”

"Oh, then you open." Jiang Yifeng stopped talking and looked up at my movements.

I pried open the mud seal little by little, and asked Jiang Yifeng to help me get the tools, shovels, and nails in the coffin.

Jiang Yifeng handed me the tools, and I touched the nails in the coffin, and I knew that the nails were not considered acquaintances, and there should not be so much time to nail them.

I thought to myself as I pried open the first nail in the coffin.

Coffin nails, nails are particular, folk customs to use seven nails, commonly known as 'descendants nails'. Five of them were nailed to the coffin by me, and the last one, as usual, was only half nailed down, and the remaining half was solidified by relatives. The remaining one, some people are used to hitting first, some people are used to hitting later, some people are used to hitting the middle of the coffin, and some people are used to hitting the corners, but the only thing that is customary is that this nail is not strong, just hastily knocked on it twice, and it is over.

There are actually many reasons why this nail is not solid, and there are two most important ones. First of all, this nail does not play the role of really sealing the coffin, it is used to make up the number, and it does not need to be nailed; Secondly, not being solid also means 'staying behind', and being solid all means 'breaking back'. The folk are very particular about this, and every place or coffin bearer probably has its own habits on how to hit this nail.

The reason why I can tell that the nails in my coffin have been touched is also one of the reasons. People who don't often touch the coffin I nail will not know which nail I like to leave on it.

But when I pried open the first nail, there was a sudden 'bang' in the room, which had been silent.

I was startled and quickly looked down.

Jiang Yifeng waved his hand and said, "It's not me, it's not me!" Jiujiao, what do I think...... Is the coffin ringing? ”

Coffin ringing?

I looked at the coffin again, remembering the source of the sound I had just heard. The voice was so close to me, it did look like it was coming from inside a coffin. And, when I think about it carefully, I feel inexplicably like something hit the coffin board.

The impact just now was so loud that I could hear it clearly, even Zhang Youquan and the village chief, who were standing farther away, heard it.

I turned my head to look at Jiang Yifeng in surprise, trying to know if I had heard it wrong.

Jiang Yifeng said to me: "You also think something hit the coffin, right?" I heard it too. ”

Such a conversation was undoubtedly terrifying, and the village chief and Zhang Youquan simply stuck together. I heard the village chief's voice trembling with deep fear coming out of his mouth, "Little ...... Little coffin master...... I...... I think it's still stable...... Steady...... Safe, okay? You see...... Isn't that ...... Is there something? ”

"Of course there is something." Jiang Yifeng said this sentence in front of me, and I saw that after the village chief listened, both legs were weak. Jiang Yifeng laughed and added, "Isn't it Yu Wanli's father's corpse?" Nothing to return? If you lose it, it's a big deal! ”

"Huh?" The village chief couldn't react for a while, and he was so frightened that he was like a frightened bird, and the hairs on his whole body were about to explode.

"Say what?" I glared at Jiang Yifeng, and I didn't care if he saw it or not, and said to him, "Come up, help me press over there." ”

"How can I hold it?" Jiang Yifeng said subconsciously.

"Less verbose!" As I spoke, I handed him the tool and pointed to the opposite position, "I'll hold this side, you go and pry open the nails in the coffin over there." ”

Jiang Yifeng still wanted to rub it, but I urged impatiently: "Hurry up!" Come on! If you rub it for a while, we don't have to pry it open. It's okay, go, go! I told you it's okay, are you afraid of anything? ”

Jiang Yifeng moved at this time, but he was slow and unconscious.

Of course I know what's going on with him, but even I'm scared. If that sound really came from inside the coffin, then what was it inside?
