The two of them bypassed the tomb beast and came to the mud cellar coffin, Xiao Laodao looked at the mud cellar coffin, turned his hands behind his back, and circled around. At this time, the mud cellar coffin was only about four feet high, and they had already shoveled down two feet before.

After a few turns, Xiao Laodao asked my grandfather with a smile, "Brother, do you look at this mud coffin, does it seem to have a mechanism?" ”

The master said: "If there is a mechanism, there must be a place to bury the letter, according to what you just said, the mud cellar coffin is made of mud, that is to say, it is a solid one, but I am afraid that there will be no mechanism." ”

Xiao Laodao nodded, "Yes, but the old brother outside also said that the dead man inside is holding a wooden box, and something will happen if the box is opened, let's ...... Let's not dig from above, let's dig up from the floor of the tomb, even if there is a box in the arms of the dead, we will not shovel it. ”

The master nodded, and what he said made sense. So, the two of them squatted down and shoveled up at the bottom of the mud cellar coffin, my grandfather was on the left side of the mud cellar coffin, and Xiao Laodao was on the right.

After shoveling a few shovels, the master found that this mud cellar coffin is the same as Xiao Laodao said, the bottom is really paved with a layer of adobe, each adobe is about one foot long, half a foot wide, six or seven inches high, between these adobes, there were originally gaps, but, after being watered by the mud, the gaps became not obvious, however, carefully identify the color, you can still see that the color of the adobe and the mud soil are different, the color of the mud soil is turmeric and bright, the color of the adobe is dark and yellow, it is obvious that the texture of the adobe is not as good as the mud soil, and, The mud soil is not too solid in the cracks of the adobe, and after shoveling the adobe, as long as you pry it outward with a crowbar, the whole adobe can be pried out from under the coffin. This may be the biggest drawback of the mud cellar coffin, however, only people who understand the structure of the mud cellar coffin can come up with a way to dig from the bottom up, and those who don't understand it will definitely shovel from the top down, shovel and shovel, shovel to the wooden box, and then accidentally shovel the wooden box, then something may happen. The lame old brother outside should have suffered the loss of shoveling from top to bottom.

After the grandfather and Xiao Laodao pried out all the adobes around the bottom, the four sides of the mud cellar coffin no longer touched the ground, and became a suspended state, Xiao Laodao immediately greeted my grandfather, and the two of them used a crowbar to pry the side of the mud cellar coffin, and at the same time worked hard.

Listening to the sound of "poof", the whole mud cellar coffin was pried over to the ground, and the bottom of the mud cellar coffin was exposed.

The two of them looked at the bottom, and saw that there was an obvious human figure embedded in it, which was a humanoid back, with a thin layer of mud scabs attached to it, Xiao Laodao seemed to be afraid of some mechanism, so he asked my grandfather to quickly dodge, and after my grandfather dodged, he carefully shoveled the mud scab away with a shovel. The grandfather was staring not far behind him, and saw that after the mud scab was shoveled down, the entire back of the deceased was exposed. The grandfather was immediately amazed, and saw that the deceased was not only not rotten, but also unclothed and naked, and the deceased's skin looked shiny and shiny.

Xiao Laodao put down the shovel at this time and beckoned to my grandfather, "Brother, spray some grain water on your hands, and then wrap your hands with a red cloth, and help me take out this dead man together." ”

The master quickly sprayed his hands with wine and wrapped a cloth, and then the two men pulled the dead man out of the mud cellar coffin.

After putting the dead man on the ground, I looked at it again, my grandfather and Xiao Laodao immediately looked at each other, and saw that this dead man was actually lifelike, looking like a middle-aged man, but his head was as smooth as his body, and his hair, beard and eyebrows were all gone, which looked very abrupt.

Xiao Laodao said: "The hair on this dead man should have been shaved off when he was buried, so that it is easy to smear oil on his body. ”

Hearing Xiao Laodao say this, the master said: "No wonder I see that this dead man is shiny, it turns out that it is anointed." ”

Xiao Laodao nodded slightly, and said: "It seems that the mud cellar coffin is not to let the body rot, but to preserve the body from decay, the body is anointed with oil, the oil can separate the body from the mud, and the body can be wrapped in mud to achieve the effect of long-term non-decay. ”

Xiao Laodao said, the master and he shifted his attention to the arms of the dead man, in the arms of the dead man, he was really holding a wooden box, two feet long and one foot high, bright red, and there was a copper lock hanging on one side of the box, and the same as the deceased, the whole box was also shiny.

Xiao Laodao hurriedly instructed my grandfather, don't touch this red box, let's find out if there are any funeral goods in this mud cellar coffin.

Immediately, the body and the box were lifted aside, and the two men took the shovel and shoveled up the mud coffin little by little along the pit left by the corpse on the top of the mud cellar coffin, but until the two people shoveled the inside and outside of the mud cellar coffin, they did not find a single burial object.

Xiao Laodao couldn't help frowning at this time, and turned his gaze to the wooden box in the deceased's arms, Xiao Laodao said: "It seems that the treasures are all in this box!" ”

The master said, "Will there be a mechanism in the box?" ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at the master, "It's hard to say, but we can't open it so recklessly." Saying that, Xiao Lao paused, "Or...... You go outside and invite the lame guy in to see if he has any way to do it. ”

The master nodded, turned and left. Soon, the master came outside and explained the situation in the tomb to everyone in detail.

After listening to this, the old begger's face suddenly changed, his head shook like a rattle, he didn't go in with the grandfather, the grandfather had no choice, and he returned to the tomb alone.

At this time, seeing that Xiao Laodao had actually taken the box off the dead man, the master was stunned, and instantly understood that this bull-nosed old man let him call the old man for food, just to break himself up!

The master was suddenly a little angry, and walked over quickly to ask Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, do you look down on me?" ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at the grandfather and smiled, "Brother, what are you talking about, you are still young, you can't take this risk with me." ”

The master said: "When there is trouble, we should share the blessings and share the blessings, brother, I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

Xiao Laodao hurriedly waved his hand, "Okay, okay, let's not quarrel, I don't know who you Liu Daxia is, now that I have taken down the box, I can't put him back in my arms, next, brother, you wrap the box in a cloth, you hold it, let's get it outside and open it again, do you see it?" ”

The master didn't say a word, took out a piece of wrapping cloth from his baggage, and wrapped the red box tightly. Then, Xiao Laodao held the torch, the grandfather held the box with his arm, and the two of them came out of the tomb again.

When they came outside, it was already dawn, and the people outside were all overjoyed to see the two masters come out.

Xiao Laodao immediately beckoned the master, put the box on the ground, and ripped off the wrapping on it.

Soon, the red box appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Xiao Laodao glanced at the old man asking for food, and asked, "Old brother, is the box you dug up before like this?" ”

At this time, the old man stood a foot away from the box, nodded tremblingly, and shook his head again, "No, it's not the same, we dug it...... No, it's not that big. ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled, "The bigger it is, the more treasures there are." ”

"Don't ......" the old begger suddenly showed a look of horror, "Don't open it!" ”

Xiao Laodao turned around and walked to the old man and said, "Brother, can you tell me what happened after you opened the box, don't say that you don't know, you must have been there at the time." ”

The old man glanced at Xiao Laodao, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "Yes, I am in front of me, and besides, I killed those three accomplices with my own hands!" ”

"What?"

As soon as the words of the old man asked for food came out, except for Xiao Laodao, everyone else, including my grandfather, was stunned.

The prostituteist girl asked unacceptably, "Uncle, why did you kill your accomplices?" ”

Lao Yaofan glanced at the showgirl and gasped heavily, "It's come to this, I'll tell you the truth...... When we dug up the coffin, we saw a dead man naked, like a living man, holding a red wooden box in the dead man's arms, and a lock on the box, just like the one you dug up, but not so big. My three accomplices picked the lock open, and opened the box, and when it was opened, there was a noise from the box, and then, ......and then, and then, "At this, the old man's face changed, and he became terrified.

"Then my three accomplices screamed, and blisters all over their hands and faces, and then they began to go crazy, and scratched each other, and scratched all the flesh and skin, and then they saw me, and threw themselves at me......"

When the old man said this, Xiao Laodao interrupted him and asked, "Were you also in the tomb at the time?" ”

The old man nodded.

"Then why are you alright?"

The old man replied: "At that time, I saw that there seemed to be something strange in the tomb, the mud cellar coffin was not on the main acupuncture point, I suspected that there was a hidden coffin in the tomb, so I took the compass to find the hidden coffin in the tomb, and when they pried open the box, there was a noise in the box, so I turned my head to look at them, who knows, and then they began to go crazy...... Later, when they besieged me together, one of his accomplices fell to the ground while besieging me, and scratched me on the ankle, and immediately my ankle became blistered, and I was afraid, and I was afraid that I would become like them, so I drew my waist knife and killed them all in the grave......"

Speaking of this, the old man looked at Xiao Lao Dao, and almost pleaded: "Daoist Xiao and Engong, don't open the box, I don't want to see my accomplices kill each other again......"
