Chapter Ninety-Four: The Taoist Priest Carries the Coffin
As if hearing that I was checking the material of the coffin, Li Sanwazi also tentatively reached out and touched the coffin, but immediately withdrew his hand and said to me urgently: "Brother Ergou, this, why is this coffin so cold?" Will it be cold for Xiaowen to lie inside? I didn't know how to answer such a childish question, so I tried the weight of the coffin. This coffin is made of authentic golden silk nanmu!
It is about six feet long, the head of the coffin is about two feet wide, and the foot of the coffin is about one and a half feet wide. Of course, this size is the standard size of today, and it is estimated to be the same size as the coffins used by people today. Then I tried the weight, good guy, about 300 pounds. Moreover, coupled with the perennial absorption of yin qi in this place, the weight of this coffin is nearly 400 catties. I couldn't help but sigh: "Just the two of us, if we have to carry more than 300 catties of things, can we afford to eat?" ”
Li Sanwazi was carried away by love, and said with a smile when she heard the words: "Brother Ergou, how do I feel that this coffin is not so heavy?" The two of us are enough, and each of us is more than 100 catties per person. In fact, we mountain people have to carry a sack of more than 100 catties, which is nothing! "Hearing this, I really want to kick it over, you don't think it's good, but I think it's good!
And this coffin is very peculiar, different from today's ordinary coffins, this coffin seems to be unable to find the interface, the upper and lower closed interfaces, like some kind of dark groove design, so cohesive, it can be said that it is airtight, tightly fitted. This not only prevents moisture, but also prevents the gas inside from leaking out, and truly achieves the point of storing the corpse. Coupled with the pill taken by the corpse itself, if there is nothing wrong with it, presumably the appearance of the corpse will not change, and it will still be exactly the same as it was at the beginning.
I just don't know how the women were dressed at that time. A strange curiosity rose in my heart, but I knew that this coffin would not be opened until after tomorrow night, and if it was opened now, I was afraid that the corpse would begin to decompose before dawn. Because of this method of storing the corpse, it cannot be connected with the yin and yang qi of the outside world, otherwise the corpse will decompose rapidly. As for how to deal with it after opening it tomorrow night, it will have to rely on Mr. Ye to figure out a way.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw Li Sanwazi lying on the coffin, I hurriedly dragged Li Sanwazi up, and asked anxiously: "Sanwazi, you, what's wrong with you?" But seeing Li Sanwazi standing up with a pale face, trembling all over, I reached out and touched his hand, as well as his body, and suddenly felt a cold breath coming to my face.
Li Sanwazi hesitated for a moment, and said with an innocent face: "Brother Ergou, I'm ...... I don't know what's wrong with me, I always feel like Xiaowen is calling me inside, so I can't help but lie on it, I feel very comfortable......"
"Comfortable fart! It's not sleeping with your daughter-in-law, you're lying on the coffin! I glared at Li Sanwazi, and then said: "The yin qi on this coffin has not all dispersed, you must know that this golden silk nan wood is a coffin wood that gathers yin, condensing the yin qi for thousands of years, how can it be so easy to say that it is scattered, even if a lot of yin qi is dispersed, but you still can't touch it too much." You just lay on it, that's because the coffin itself is sucking the yang energy on your body, and the yin energy inside is drilling into your body, if you kid don't want to die, if you want to really marry Miss Xiaowen home, just listen to me honestly, you know?! ”
"Oh!"
Li Sanwazi nodded suddenly, and then said, "I know Brother Ergou!" I didn't understand it just now, but now I understand, I will never get too close to the coffin again, and I will do what you ask me to do! "Hearing this, I immediately asked Li Sanwazi to turn around and hit him with the Golden Light Divine Mantra, forcing out the yin qi in his body. Then he warned Li Sanwazi not to breathe heavily when he was close to the coffin, but to slow down his breathing, otherwise he would still be sucked out of the yang qi by the coffin, so that the yin qi in the coffin would be inhaled in his body.
After such an arrangement, I was not at ease to let Li Sanwazi carry the coffin and tie the ropes. Now I really want to leave this ghost place immediately, I feel uncomfortable when I stay for a while, this place has condensed thousands of years of yin qi, the longer I stay, the more damage will be to the body, and people with bad physique come in, and if they go out, they will get a serious illness. The coffin of more than 300 catties should be regarded as a thin coffin in ancient times.
What's more, there is a corpse inside, and the weight of the corpse is not much thicker. However, it doesn't seem appropriate to say that the corpse is not appropriate, after all, after tomorrow night, Ye Xiaowen will be resurrected, and at that time, the corpse in it will be a living person. I tied the rope, and then greeted Li Sanwa behind me, and then shouted: "Get up!" ”
Li Sanwazi estimated that for the sake of his wife, he also let go, and his strength was even greater than mine, and when I lifted the coffin tremblingly, he could already go.
Stumbling, I don't know how much work it took, finally half an hour later, we pushed the coffin out of the cave, pinched our fingers and counted the hours, about another hour, the sky will be dawn! I frowned tightly, and immediately said: "From now on, you can't touch the ground under the coffin, and you can't get the sun on it, you must carry it into the house in one go. ”
"Brother Ergou, thank you!" Li Sanwazi's eyes are already telling me that I am his brother in my life. I hurriedly waved my hand and asked him to put away the little cat pee tears, and it was awkward to say that I was moved, after all, the coffin had not yet been carried to the house. I have to say, this is indeed quite a challenge! Tighten the rope, and when we lifted it up again, we never thought about putting it down.
Anyway, I don't know how we carried it back, but when we put the coffin safe and sound in the Ye family's hall, I collapsed to the ground.
I was dazed, groggy, I don't know how long I had been asleep, and when I heard someone call my name, I just felt that my eyelids were heavy as if they were glued together. I opened my eyes with great difficulty, only to see that in front of the withered yellow light, Mr. Ye looked at me with a smile on his face, and when he saw me wake up, Mr. Ye immediately said gratefully: "Mr. Ergou, this time it is really thanks to you, our entire Ye family owes you a great favor!" ”
"Well, stop talking all that nonsense, what time is it?" I sat up and turned my head to look out the window, only to see that it was pitch black again. Instead, he asked Mr. Ye, "Uncle Ye, don't you want to tell me that I fell asleep for a day, right?" After getting Mr. Ye's affirmative reply, I exhaled a deep breath, recalling the moment in the morning when the sun was about to shine on the earth, the moment we placed the coffin in the hall, the only thought in my mind was that I would never carry the coffin again in this life, it was too tiring......
After getting out of bed and putting on my shoes, I casually asked, "Has the auspicious time arrived?" What about the three babies? ”
Mr. Ye replied with a smile: "There is still half an hour to arrive at the auspicious time, Xitang has been prepared, and the third child has already changed his clothes, I asked the five ghosts to bring him a brand new groom's clothes, hehe!" Now it's up to you, Mr. Ergou. Hearing this, I suddenly became angry, and suddenly turned my head to look at Mr. Ye, this old guy is clearly yin me!
After all, I couldn't hide my words in my heart, and asked angrily: "Obviously you can use the five ghosts to transport the coffin, why do you have to let me and the three babies carry it?" You, you old thing, did you do it on purpose? When I heard my words, Mr. Ye was not angry, but apologized to me for compensation, and now I instantly understood, what a good Mr. Ye, he really did it on purpose, let me carry the coffin, it seems that he wants to borrow my identity is true.
I am a person in the Taoist Gate, and I invite someone from the Taoist Gate to carry the coffin, so it is in line with the principles of heaven, up to the sky, down to the earth, all of which are justified. And even if something happens, this black cauldron has to be carried by me, and when I understand this, I hate it so much, but looking at Mr. Ye's attitude of making amends, I have no choice but to give up, speaking of which, he also needs this ceremony, if there is no such ceremony, it will not work.
Mr. Ye solemnly said to me: "This matter can be concluded smoothly, in the future, if Mr. Ergou has needs, no matter what it is, as long as the old man can do it, if you say a word, the old man will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!" Hearing this, my angry face suddenly calmed down a lot, and I grinned instead, it was worth it to be able to get a promise from a ghost fairy, and compare them with each other.
Besides, Ye Xiaowen's return to Yang was also reported to Yan Jun by Mr. Ye in advance, and he was approved, so this black cauldron is not very dark. He just wanted to borrow me for this ceremony, and if I counted the deal, I wouldn't lose money, so that's it. Surrounded by people, I slowly walked from the backyard to the hall in the front yard, but I saw that it was indeed a festive scene, and the decorations in the happy hall were not much different from those in reality.
It's just that there is a coffin in the middle hall, which is a bit inappropriate. It seemed to remind me what kind of wedding it was. The old housekeeper and Mr. Ye respectfully invited me to sit on the upper seat, but I politely declined, no matter how stupid I was, I knew that it would not be my turn to sit on the throne. However, in the end, the position of the witness was handed over to me, and I did not refuse.
"The auspicious time has come, welcome the bride ......"
I only heard a loud shout from the old housekeeper, which suddenly spread throughout the entire Ye family's courtyard and beyond, and this special wedding also kicked off.
