Chapter 4: The Immortal Coffin
Coffin. Paper money.
I seem to have found a connection between the two. The paper money before must have been scattered by this uncle. As for why it was done like this. I think it might have something to do with the rain.
Look at that little coffin. I'm a little unbearable. The kid who is only a little older is gone. I don't know who Wang Dake is.
Wang Dake's hands trembled. Liu Dongxi stretched out his hand from the side and grabbed it. The other hand 'flicked' twice on the side of the coffin. And he opened the lid of the coffin.
Sure enough, there was a small corpse lying in the coffin. The whole body is wrapped in red and yellow brocade. There is also a flat crown on his head. The face is very ugly. I don't know what kind of illness I got and died.
I think it's unbearable to look at this corpse. I didn't look closely. Turn your head and study the coffin lid.
The coffin lid is tossed aside. There is also black lacquer painting Zhu inside. There is no 'dew' at all, and there is something unusual to say. That is, there is a small gap in the head of the coffin. It's not dead at all. In addition, the whole coffin lid is a closed structure of the tenon. There are no coffin nails.
I didn't dare to touch it with my hands. Just stick your head out and look. There is a 'door' under the eaves of the opening. Obviously not a quality issue.
Wang Dake trembled and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't recognize whose strange corpse it was. Also relax down. Shake off Liu's hand. Snorted.
Liu Dongxi's old face was slightly red. "Do you drink water?"
I almost burst out laughing. Look at such a mess. Who can swallow it. Immediately said: "Liu thing, you will rest first. Look at this coffin."
He wished there was such a reason. I came over right away. He pretended to look at it twice and said, "This is a fairy coffin."
"Something." I don't understand. Asked.
"Immortal coffin." Liu snorted disdainfully.
"Immortals." I looked inside the coffin again." The gods are so ugly."
Neither complain that I speak badly. Although the gods and goddesses since ancient times have strange shapes, they have everything. But it can also be regarded as having its own special 'color', and all kinds of lofty places are admirable. And this obscene little corpse . In my opinion, it's not even as good as a youkai. Liu Shishi actually said that he was an immortal.
"Who said he was an immortal?" Liu Shidong waved his hand. It was a fairy shell at best. True immortals either haven't come out yet. Either it's already in heaven."
Liu Shi's words confused me. Either it hasn't come out yet, or it's already gone to heaven. These two sentences are put together. Did you talk about it?
"I don't understand." Liu Dongxi glanced at me." I'll give you popular science."
Since ancient times. Becoming an immortal is the ultimate goal of all cultivators. But go through the history of the Taoist books. There are only a handful of people who can really ascend from the ground. Because this kind of thing is very demanding on the qualifications of applicants. It's not just about cultivating the Tao and becoming a pill. There are also epiphanies including thoughts. The structure of the body and other cumbersome requirements.
Therefore, becoming an immortal is not something that can be done in a lifetime. It takes several lifetimes of accumulation and great fortune.
Chinese people pay attention to today's things. It's best to finish the things in this life. Not to mention such a big event as becoming an immortal. There is no reason to push it to the next life.
So it's like a civil service exam. All kinds of package classes, crash courses. Since the Great Qin Dynasty, it has begun to bloom like 'spring' bamboo shoots all over the land of China. It is said that there is a nose and an eye. This so-called fairy coffin is one of them.
The theoretical basis of the immortal coffin is that it came from Zhao Guanshan, a mad Taoist in the Ming Dynasty. This person behaves unconventionally. Thoughts are like Pegasus starry sky. He pioneered the theory of "ten virtues become immortals". It means ten lifetimes of doing good. You can become an immortal. It is an idea to save how many discount cards can be exchanged for bowls of rice noodles.
At the time it was a big controversy. But it has been proved that the theory is feasible. And it won't take ten lifetimes at all. It's all over in this life. Although Zhao Guanshan did not gain any benefit from inventing this theory. But it is the toiling masses who benefit. Just be willing to 'spend' some money. The dream of becoming an immortal is close at hand. In later generations, various methods based on this theory emerged one after another. Immortal coffins are the most common one.
The so-called fairy coffin is lined with iron sheets to isolate the soul. Only a small 'hole' is opened, so that the soul of the deceased cannot run 'around' but can come and go freely. This thing can't be done by a coffin alone. It also has to be combined with the shape of the burial chamber. Simulate the environment of reincarnation. Make the soul of the deceased think that they have completed their reincarnation. So in and out ten times. Nature is the X. Of course, the dead do not do evil. To be good in one life is to be good in all worlds. Naturally, there is no obstacle to becoming an immortal.
"This is the fairy coffin." I pointed to the coffin. Liu looked at it and built it back for others. It doesn't matter who the people in it are. It's not good to be so 'exposed'.
"That's right. That's it." Liu Dongxi nodded. When it's over, I feel a little wrong." Strange, right? It is said that this fairy coffin was not buried before. You have to seal your face or spiritual path with rune paper. You can only open it when you go down to the tomb. Why didn't we do anything about this?"
I thought it was strange to hear him say that. Although I don't know much about this thaumaturgy. But you can understand what he said before. A prerequisite for this method is that it must be set up in the tomb. If it is not buried, it will open an opening. Didn't you leak your soul early? It's also a fart fairy.
Liu Shidong looked at the uncle's eyes a little strange. Ask Wang Dake as soon as he opens his mouth." Your servants also rob graves."
It seems that Liu Shiwu believes that this immortal coffin was stolen by Uncle Mi from other tombs.
Wang Dake was stunned for a moment. How can it be. They have to '' the house. How can there be time and means to rob tombs?"
"Then that's weird...... "Liu Shixi pinched his chin." If your family is buried. Of course, it's not just that you don't know the way of this immortal coffin. The immortal coffin in front of him has long leaked out of the soul. Said he didn't steal it. How else can you explain it?"
"Your family is buried." Wang Dake gave him a blank look. Pop out a sentence.
Liu Dongxi knew that he was speechless. Hehe laughed twice. Didn't speak again.
I looked at the so-called fairy coffin that looked like a piano box. But I didn't have the heart to get to the bottom of it. Everything will be known when the uncle wakes up.
The night is getting deeper. I also fell asleep in a daze. By this time it was already cold at night. Scalding hot on the fire side. The side of the fire is cold. I can't sleep well at all.
Everyone else went to sleep in the car. But the experience in the car just now gave me a bad feeling. I definitely don't want to sleep in the car anymore.
I can't count how many times I've been woken up from freezing. Suddenly, I heard a little sound......
Supposedly there is a lot of sound at night. The sound of the fire burning, the snoring of unknown people, and the distant river must be a big river. From time to time there is the sound of water.
But this voice is different from the others. It's very rhythmic. Da ...... Da ...... It's like someone is knocking on the 'door' with something hard.
This voice came from the coffin.
The drowsiness of the 'chaos' disappeared in an instant. I snapped my eyes open.
Liu stuff is lying next to me. Not far from me was Wang Dake, who was napping.
The immortal coffin was placed in front of Wang Dake. A wisp of pale purple 'colored' smoke wafted out from the spiritual path at the head of the coffin. It does not dissipate in the wind. Instead, it meandered and floated behind Wang Dake.
Behind her. Purple smoke penetrates the nostrils. It's that uncle.
I was taken aback. The hand is going to grab the gun.
Uncle Yi was originally standing behind Wang Dake like a zombie. My hand moved. He didn't know what he heard. His eyes snapped open. A pair of blood-red eyes looked at me.
I saw that the explosion was 'exposed'. It's too late to think about anything else at the moment. Lightning-fast gun drawn. It's a shot at my uncle's head.
Uncle Miraculously turned his head and dodged the bullet. I'm going to shoot again with a twisted wrist. But I felt a 'chaos' sound in my head. Lost consciousness.
When I woke up. It's already dawn.
Everyone was busy packing up and eating. Wang Dake and Uncle Yu sat on the side and talked.
I'm not quite sure if last night's experience was a dream. Not a single bullet in the gun was missing. Uncle Yi is also the charity of an ordinary uncle. And there are no strange red eyes. I steadied myself. Stand up and move your body. In this case, the 'Lu' camp is a very harmful thing. I've got to move and do something else.
The king can see that I am awake. Say hello to me. I nodded to the uncle. Didn't speak. Just be on guard in your heart.
"Were you awake last night?" I asked.
Ean nodded. Pretty much awake all the time."
"What do you see?" I asked again. Didn't you see that person get up?"
Ea looked at me a little strangely." Nope. What do you mean by that?"
I looked at her. I always felt that what she said was a bit untrue.
Simple washing. Breakfast is fine. In the past, I used to eat on the road in order to hurry. But last night everyone tossed for a long time. So today I decided to eat before leaving.
Lunch 'meat' instant noodles stewed in a large pot with artificial protein. It is very fragrant when cooked. One bowl per person. Eat a lot.
"Hello. My name is Wang Luqi." Uncle Mi held the bowl in one hand and stretched it out in the other. His face doesn't have the zombie expression of last night.
"It's been a hard journey." I reached out and gave him a brief shake. while looking up to see his reaction." I don't know what happened last night."
Uncle Mi looked calm. Said very sincerely: "The car broke down. Thankfully, you came to the rescue. Otherwise, my old life would have to be handed over here."
Wang Dake said with a sad face at this time: "Si'an. My uncle is gone. Uncle Mi is here to give him a funeral."
I turned my head to look at the little coffin that had been placed in the canvas bag. I wondered in my heart that this Wang Dake's uncle looked so strange.
Liu Dongxi rushed over to comfort him.
"You scattered the paper money on the road." I asked my uncle.
"It's me. You've all seen it." Uncle Mi was a little surprised." Why didn't I see you?"
I rolled my eyes wildly. It seems to me that the facts are clear. This uncle sprinkled paper money all the way and drove a broken car. When the black clouds were pressing, the car broke down and stopped under the road. And then the coffin on his back rushed to find us, it was simply a matter of course. Now he even says he doesn't see us.
Liu Dongdong will drive and want to fly. The sound of the engine is similar to that of an airplane. This uncle doesn't look like a deaf man. You won't be unheard.
Did he mean that he heard it but didn't see it? Is it interesting to shake this wit? The author has something to say Thank you Mu Ye for the full order and the huge chapter, give it over.
