"What's that?" Xiao Laodao asked suspiciously.
The old man glanced at Xiao Laodao in horror, and said tremblingly: "It's a wooden box, held in the arms of a dead man, and after digging out the box, you can't touch it with your hands, and if you touch it, it will blister, and then the person will go crazy, and after going crazy...... I would scratch and scratch on myself, and wherever I caught, there would be blisters, and my ankles would be scratched by my accomplices, but I was not crazy, but there were blisters on my legs, and later, when the blisters broke, they began to bleed pus and fester. ”
"And what about your accomplices?" Xiao Laodao asked.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and stumbled: "It's all ...... They all died in the grave, and when they went crazy, they not only scratched themselves, but also scratched each other......"
"Scratching each other?"
Thinking about it carefully, he felt quite panicked, but Xiao Laodao glanced at the old man suspiciously, and asked again, "Then why aren't you crazy?" ”
The beads of the old man's eyes quickly shook twice, and he replied: "I, I, I was outside to let them out, I heard shouting inside, I went in, and after entering, I saw one lying on the ground, probably out of breath, and the other two were scratching each other, and they were all crazy...... I didn't know what was going on, so I went up to dissuade them, and who knew that they all rushed towards me, and when I saw that the momentum was not right, I ran out, and when one of my companions was chasing me, he fell and scratched my foot and neck, and I escaped from the tomb with my life. ”
After the old man finished speaking, Xiao Laodao actually said "oh" lightly, and then asked: "Since you let the wind on it and they were already crazy when you went down, how did you know that they dug up the wooden box to go crazy?" ”
"Huh? This, this ......"
Xiao Laodao smiled, the grandfather on the side didn't hear it just now, after Xiao Laodao asked, the grandfather also understood, the old man was lying, he should go to the tomb with his accomplices, as for what happened in the tomb, he didn't seem to want to say it.
At this time, I listened to the old man and replied: "I, I guess, when I went down to the tomb, I saw that it was a mud cellar coffin, and there was an open wooden box ...... in the mud cellar coffin."
"Mud cellar coffin?" Xiao Laodao said thoughtfully: "No wonder I didn't dig the coffin board just now, it turned out to be a mud cellar and a coagulated slurry for a coffin. ”
Xiao Laodao said, as if he didn't want to embarrass the old man, and then changed the topic, "Okay, brother, let's not talk about your tomb, let's talk about what we should do with this tomb now." ”
Hearing this, the old man blinked his eyes a few times, as if he was gathering his mind for himself, paused for a while, and said, "Right now...... Didn't I already say that there are a lot of priceless things in the ear chamber, as long as we don't touch the mud cellar coffin and take out the contents of the ear chamber. ”
Xiao Laodao heard what the old man said, showed a face of unwillingness, and said: "Those bottles and cans are good things, but after we take them out, we have to be able to find a buyer, if we can't sell them for a while and a half, and then find it out to the government, it is a big crime to get stolen goods and cut off your head!" ”
The old man hurriedly said: "After the things are taken out, if you don't say it, I won't say it, and then hide it in a safe place, how can the government know about it." ”
Xiao Laodao nodded, "What you said is right, but, in the troubled times, gold and antiques, in this world, real money and silver are hard currency, those bottles and cans are brought out, ordinary rich and noble people dare not accept them, and it is useless to collect them, high-ranking officials and powerful people are unreliable, after selling them to them, if we give them a bite back, we will end up empty." The only way out is to get it on the black market, but the money in the black market is too slow, and it is difficult to find a buyer in three or five years. ”
"What, as a spindle?" Lao Yaofan glanced at Xiao Lao Dao with an incredulous expression, "Xiao Daochang, you won't be in a hurry to use money, you don't want priceless porcelain and bronze, and you have to turn gold and silver jewelry into ingots, then it can be worth a few dollars!" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "I'm in dire need of money, and I just want to take out some and cash it out." ”
The old man suddenly showed an incomprehensible expression, at this time, the grandfather next to him finally understood, through him accompanied Xiao Laodao to the tomb several times, and found that Xiao Laodao had a strong purpose in digging the grave, which may have something to do with the "big event" he said.
Subsequently, Xiao Laodao and the old begger were silent, Xiao Laodao took out the cigarette pouch rod from his body, squatted at the entrance of the tomb and smoked.
After a few bags of cigarettes, Xiao Laodao looked up at the sky, and saw that the eastern sky had been slightly white, Xiao Laodao suddenly muttered: "There is a way that thieves don't go empty, this day is going to be bright, tonight, you can't say anything in vain!" After that, Xiao Laodao stood up from the ground, retracted the cigarette pouch rod into his waist, and asked my grandfather: "Brother, do you dare to go down with my brother again?" ”
What kind of person is my grandfather, his face was fearless, and he said lightly: "Brother Xiao, don't talk about a tomb, I dare to accompany you even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire." ”
"Good!"
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly stopped Xiao Laodao, "Daoist Xiao, what are you going to do?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "Brother, don't worry, this time Brother Liu and I will go down, you will let the wind outside, if something happens to the two of us, you will not go down again, leave quickly." ”
The old man suddenly became anxious, "Daochang Xiao, Brother Liu, there are big tombs in this area, why do you need to take risks in this tomb!" ”
Xiao Laodao smiled and said: "I have been digging graves for so many years, and I have never seen such a tomb, with rammed earth as the door and mud cellar as the coffin. ”
When he heard this, he felt that Xiao Laodao was a little unreasonable, and then looked at the master and asked in a low voice, "Brother Liu, are you, do you think so too?" ”
The grandfather replied: "I don't think so, but I believe in Brother Xiao, as the so-called soldier dies for his confidant, it doesn't matter if he loses his life." ”
"You, you ......" the old begger seemed to want to say, you are all crazy, but he did not say it.
Xiao Laodao turned around at this time and instructed Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi, "You both are waiting outside, if I don't come out, you go back to your uncle, and ask your uncle to send a message over there, and in the future, you will stay with him and don't go out of the mountain again." ”
When Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi heard this, they both wanted to say something, Xiao Laodao glared at the two of them, and the two of them suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing this, the entertainer girl looked confused and asked my grandfather, "Brother Bingshou, do you, do you really want to go down again, if something happens to you, what will I, I, and me do?" ”
The grandfather glanced at her and said, "You just go home, but don't tell your father that I died in the tomb, the dignified dragon slayer died in the tomb because of tomb robbery, and it is not good to say it." ”
The artist's eyes suddenly turned red, "I don't want you to go down!" ”
Xiao Laodao turned his head to the showgirl and my grandfather at this time, Xiao Laodao said: "What are you two talking about, don't say it's like parting with death, it's okay." ”
When the showgirl heard this, she looked at Xiao Laodao and asked, "Then what are you explaining to Brother Chu Jiu and Brother Eleven?" ”
Xiao Laodao smiled when he heard this, and said, "You may not know, I explain them like this every time I go to the tomb." ”
"You, you......" The girl was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Xiao Laodao said: "You haven't thought about it, the tomb that our old brother digs is the same as the tomb we are digging now, it's different, the two tombs have nothing to do with each other, what kind of wooden box is there in their tomb, do we have to have a wooden box in this tomb?" ”
"And what if there is?" The girl asked.
"I'm not afraid." As he spoke, Xiao Laodao walked over and patted the grandfather on the back, "Look at our dragon slayer, the dragon and phoenix, the civil and military are both civil and military, and he has a means of exorcising evil spirits and ghosts, if you want to say that he can fold in a little-known grave, do you believe it?" ”
The girl shook her head slightly.
"Isn't that what it is?" Xiao Laodao continued: "Dragon Slayer, coupled with my decades of grave digging skills, I haven't seen any mechanism, as long as the two of us go down, the wealth in the coffin will be captured!" ”
Xiao Laodao said with a confident face, as if he had already dug up the grave before going to the grave, and the old begger and the girl who were selling for food saw this, and they couldn't argue with him anymore.
Subsequently, the grandfather and Xiao Laodao entered the tomb again under the eyes of several entertaining girls.
In the tomb, the grandfather asked Xiao Lao Dao as he walked, "Brother Xiao, are you really sure to take out that mud coffin?" ”
Xiao Laodao smiled and was straightforward, "I'm not sure, but it took us so much effort to open the tomb, and I just gave up, I'm not reconciled." ”
The master nodded, "I'm not reconciled, I also want to see what ...... is in that mud coffin" Speaking of this, the master seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, Brother Xiao, what is a mud cellar coffin?" ”
Xiao Laodao paused for a moment, and then said: "This mud cellar coffin, I have only heard people say in the past, the so-called mud cellar, in fact, is mud, after the tomb is built, when the deceased is buried, directly carry the body into the tomb, and then, use the mud to build up more than a foot high on the ground of the main tomb, the length and width of the size is about the same as the length and width of the coffin, and then use wooden planks around the mud to put up, the dead are put into the tunzi, and the burial goods are also put into the tunzi, and then watered with mud mixed with secret medicine, and the deceased and the burial goods are poured in the tunzi together, After the mud has condensed, the wooden planks are removed, and it becomes a mud cellar coffin. ”
When the master heard this, he looked puzzled and asked: "There is still such a burial method, Ju said that the dead need to be ventilated in the coffin to integrate feng shui, so isn't it stuffy in the mud?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "The customs are different in various places, of course, the funeral methods are not the same, what I know, there are burials, water burials, mountain burials, sky burials, cave burials, Guanzhong area, mostly loess barren slopes, drought year after year, legend has it that the people here are made of soil, after death to turn into loess, mud to water the corpse, is to let the corpse connect to the earth, and then turn into loess, so that the soul of the deceased can be reincarnated again. ”
The master felt a little unacceptable, "There is still such a statement?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "I just heard what people said, whether it is true or not, then I don't know, but judging from the current mud cellar coffin, what they said may be true." ”
As they spoke, the two men came to the main burial chamber again.
