Chapter 359: Nail

At this time, we are all in a bit of a difficulty, but there is no way to do it, I think why should I open the coffin first, and see the situation inside!

I beckoned Wang Chuyi and Lao Ba together, standing directly behind the coffin, to push the lid of the coffin, although the soil in the lid has been stripped off by the seventh master, but the cover is still very heavy, the three of us pushed together for a long time, and there was no movement, finally, the eighth took out the lubricating oil brought in advance, smeared it in the gap of the coffin lid, after reducing friction, we continued to push the coffin lid, this is a little movement, the lid slowly opened under our push, Just when the coffin lid opened a half-meter-long opening, Lao Ba suddenly stopped, took five or six steps back, and said, "I can't open the main coffin, I can only help here, and the rest is up to you." ”

Lao Ba said this, but his eyes kept staring at the coffin, and he was also very curious about the situation in the coffin.

The seventh master walked to the coffin, joined me and Wang Chuyi's team, and continued to push the lid of the coffin, but in half a minute, with the efforts of the three of us, the cover fell to the ground with a bang, because the cover was too heavy, the moment it fell to the ground, I felt the whole tomb tremble.

After the lid was opened, the Seventh Master leaned over and looked inside, and couldn't help frowning, "There is water!" ”

In fact, this is a very common phenomenon, due to the dampness underground, most of the coffin materials are stone, moisture is squeezed all year round, forming a liquid is not unusual, but in the eyes of our inverted bucket line, that is a bad omen, but also because once the liquid is formed in the coffin, eighty percent is black, and some people deliberately gave this phenomenon a name, called black cloud pressure sun.

Wang Chuyi and I glanced at each other, and couldn't help but think of Huzi, if Huzi was here now, it would definitely be scolding his mother while scooping water with something, and we didn't need to greet him at all.

I'm the only one to do the rough work this time.

I took out an empty kettle from my backpack, took off the kettle cover, used it as a tool for scooping water, and began to scoop it out one by one, and in less than ten minutes, the water in the entire coffin was almost cleaned by me, and the two black coffins came into our sight.

I am the closest to these two coffins, after a careful observation, I found that these two coffins are exactly the same, whether it is from the texture, or the material, and even the position is symmetrical, if what the seventh master said before, then one of these two coffins must be a fake coffin with a mechanism, but which one is fake? At the moment, it is impossible to distinguish at all.

At this time, the seventh master had already come to my side, looked down at the two coffins in the coffin, frowned and said, "These two coffins, one is true and one is false, it is difficult to distinguish them." ”

Wang Chuyi sighed and said, "If it is easy to distinguish, this soul-leaving twin coffin is not powerful, hurry up and figure out which one to open." ”

Before Wang Chu's words fell, the seventh master had been circling the coffin for a week, and finally stopped next to me, sighed with a heavy face, and said, "I can't see it!" The two coffins are exactly the same. ”

I saw that the seventh master looked so decadent, it is estimated that he has exhausted his life's experience, and he still can't deduce which of the two coffins is real, so I took out a flashlight, put a flashlight on the coffin, and then turned on the flashlight, wanting to try whether the light of this strong tactical flashlight can penetrate the coffin and shine into the coffin, if so, it will be much easier.

It's a pity that the material of this coffin is very hard, the light transmission effect is very poor, and the light of the flashlight can't shine into it for half a minute, and I have no clue for a while.

After Wang Chuyi looked around the coffin for a long time, he shook his head at us and said, "No way, I can't see it, this coffin is exactly the same size, and the degree of corrosion is almost the same." ”

In the end, Wang Chuyi and I all turned our eyes to the seventh master, only to see that the seventh master had a gloomy face, a cigarette in his mouth, and was smoking violently, and when he saw that we were all looking at him, he didn't make a sound, just smoked, staring at the coffin inside the coffin.

I saw that he looked very serious, and I took a closer look at the structure of the coffin again.

I saw that the outside of the coffin was painted vermilion, and gold letters were written on it. In the middle and bottom of the bottom is a picture of flowers and birds. The two coffins are all made of gloomy wood, this material of wood is very rare, its valuable value is much higher than that of golden silk nanmu, this kind of gloomy wood coffin is extremely rare even in the tombs of some princes and nobles, and in this coffin, there are two gloomy wooden coffins all at once, I can't imagine what kind of exquisite funerary goods will be in this coffin.

I carefully observed the bottom of the coffin, only to see that the bottom of the two coffins are more or less some traces of corrosion, the edge of the paint is a little peeling, it seems that the two coffins when the white stubble into the burial, and then the painter painted, can paint the two coffins The outer lacquer painting is exactly the same, which shows that the painter's skills at that time were very deep.

I touched the surface of the coffin, and couldn't help frowning, after the painter painted the lacquer, he even roasted it once with charcoal, such a complicated process, who was lying in this coffin?

At that moment, I suddenly noticed the nails on the lid of the coffin! Hurriedly shone it with a flashlight, only to see that there were a total of seven nails on the coffin lid, distributed on the coffin lid.

According to the records in ancient books, when the corpse and burial objects are properly placed, then the coffin lid must be nailed, which is called "town nail" in ancient books, and this town nail is called "town nail", which is called "town nail", which is also called descendant nail, which is said to make future generations prosperous.

When the light of my flashlight shone on the middle of the coffin, the seventh master immediately extinguished the cigarette in his hand and stared closely at the nail in the middle of the coffin lid.

It is rumored that in ancient times, when the burial was sealed, a nail had to be left not nailed to death, but by his relatives. If it is a woman or a man, it is nailed by the hands of her mother's family or father's family.

When the nail is covered and hammered, a "descendant nail" located in the middle of the coffin is taboo tightened. A red thread is tied to it, which is pulled by the filial son by hand, and the carpenter gently knocks it on it, which means "to stay behind". It is forbidden to nail this nail to death, otherwise, it is considered bad for future generations.

But what we see now is that in the middle of the coffin lid, this child and grandchild nail, which is strictly forbidden to be tightened, has been nailed into the coffin lid, and there is no red line on the nail, because the nail has been smashed so hard that it has been deeply sunk into the coffin lid, and it cannot be detected if it is not for the strong light of the flashlight.

At this moment, the seventh master snatched my flashlight, and then shone it on another coffin, only to see that there was also a descendant nail in the middle of the coffin, the difference is that this descendant nail was not nailed into, but in strict accordance with the rules, just lightly nailed to the coffin lid, the end of the nail was tied to the rope, and the nail was crumbling, as if a gentle pull could pull the nail down.

Seeing this, I finally have some confidence in my heart, and finally found the difference between the two coffins!

At this moment, the Seventh Master spoke, "No, why does this coffin only have nails and no nails?" ”

As soon as the seventh master said this, Wang Chuyi and I were stunned, yes, why is there no 衽, this is too abnormal, 衽 originally refers to the stitching of clothes, here the seventh master refers to the wooden wedge connecting the coffin lid and the bottom of the coffin, the two ends are wide and narrow in the middle, and they are inserted into the ridges on both sides of the coffin mouth, so that the lid and the coffin body are tightly sealed. The combination of the lid and the leather strip is to fasten the lid of the coffin. In fact, when the coffin was buried, the ancients would use leather strips to tie the bottom of the coffin and the lid together. Three lanes are tied in the horizontal direction, and two lanes are tied in the vertical direction. The horizontal direction is long, and the vertical direction is short, and the "three long and two short" also originate from this.

Just when we were all still wondering, the eighth man who was standing in the distance suddenly said, "I said brothers, hurry up and make a decision, I always feel that something is approaching us!" Cracks are beginning to appear in the walls of the tomb to the west! ”

The eighth voice shouted out, I was concentrating on looking at the coffin, he was frightened, raised the flashlight and looked towards the west wall of the tomb, this photo only found out, sure enough, as the old eight said, the wall of the tomb will have some loose soil from time to time, if you look closely, there has been a trace of imperceptible cracks on the wall, it seems that something bad is going to happen in this tomb, if we don't hurry up and open the coffin, it is estimated that the coffin will not be opened!

But now, although we have found different places in the coffin, it is still difficult to judge which of the coffins is real and which one is fake, and there is a possibility that the owner of the tomb deliberately left some differences to confuse us.

At this time, the Seventh Master looked at Wang Chuyi and asked, "Do you think that one will be real?" ”

Wang Chuyi probably didn't expect the seventh master to suddenly ask like this, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked at the two coffins, and said, "I think the one on the left is real, and the son of the child was nailed so deeply, it must have been done on purpose, just to make the owner of the tomb desperate." ”

As soon as Wang Chu finished speaking, the seventh master nodded and turned his face to look at me.

"Seventh Master, I think what Wang Chuyi said makes sense, think about it, even if the owner of the tomb deliberately confuses us, then there is no need to nail this descendant so deeply, just nail it down?"

The Seventh Master nodded and said, "Is it possible that the one on the right is real?" After all, the children and grandchildren of the coffin were very normal, and there was nothing unusual. ”

After listening to the words of the seventh master, Wang Chuyi and I both shook our heads and said, "Probably not, I think that at the beginning, the owner of the tomb should have planned that the two coffins should be exactly the same in shape and nails, to confuse us, and then someone may have hated him, so he nailed down the descendants on the coffin where his body was really placed, meaning that he would cut off his children and grandchildren, I think this possibility is more likely." ”

At this time, Wang Chuyi also nodded, indicating that he agreed with my statement.
