Volume 1 Kurosawa Domain Chapter 22 The Coffin
Old Ghost Su cleared his throat, took out the style of Mr. Storyteller, and began to spread the common sense of tomb robbery to everyone with his eyebrows:
"Ladies and gentlemen, listen well. If you don't say anything, you can't see through the lights. Don't talk about gossip, show a good Han Wu Erlang. Let's not press this Wu Erlang, watch a table why this toad bites people..."
Boy! In this gloomy tomb that I don't know how many thousands of years have passed, in this weird and dangerous underground palace like the underworld, there is actually a "live storytelling broadcast"!
Except for Cao Longxuan, who was thinking about the problem there, everyone listened to Old Ghost Su in this vernacular with wide eyes.
The chattering old fellow had a few free listeners, so he gave a special lecture, and he almost didn't have a broken bowl (coin) for the audience.
Bai Yunfei felt that he should be given a case at this time, let him take another fan, hold a piece of shocking wood, and put on the kind of coat that tells stories.
Maybe, you can also invite a few lonely ghosts, set up a few tables, serve tea, and have a "human and ghost book review meeting", which is endlessly fun.
“... As soon as this person dies, he becomes a corpse, also called a corpse. As soon as this corpse rotted, it became stinky, and in the end it was so rotten that only skeleton miles remained, let's call it 'firewood sticks' in the jargon.
This firewood stick is also black and white, the white is the white bone, it is called 'white firewood stick', poisoned to death or polluted by the grave pit black drops, it is called 'black firewood stick'.
There are also corpses that are well embalmed or sealed well, so the corpses will not rot, but they will dry over the years, which is the so-called 'bacon'.
Although you have not heard of these terms, you have never heard of the term 'corpse', the corpse of the corpse is very terrifying, it is an evil ghost, it is an evil spirit.
Also, this corpse looks hideous and ugly, as if it is covered with a layer of toad skin, terrifying, disgusting and jumping, isn't this just the same as the annoying toad.
And this toad hibernates, like corpses, seem to be sleeping, and when they are alive, they are all yang. Therefore, many predecessors called the corpses that rioted and hurt people 'toads'. There are also called crazy corpses..."
When he was almost finished, Cao Longxuan also joined the crowd and asked, "Old Su, what do you think?" ”
Old Ghost Su pointed to the four coffins: "There are strange miles, if you can't open it, you won't open it." ”
Sun Er asked, "What's weird?" Could it be the toad you are talking about? ”
Old Ghost Su nodded: "According to my experience of my ancestors for forty years and my teacher for three thousand years, there are nine times out of ten that there are big toads. ”
"How so?" Cao Longxuan asked again.
"This is obviously a burial chamber for coffins, not a temporary centralized storage room. But where is there an owner with so many drops of coffins in his burial?
Even if it is a funeral coffin, it will not be made of the same drop as the main coffin, so if you drop it, where is the difference between the main coffin and the secondary coffin?
But these four coffins, size, shape, material, color, location, direction, even Bai Yunfei didn't figure out the strange sealing paint on the coffin lid seam, they are all exactly the same.
According to the "Ghost Burial Feng Shui" handed down by the elders, this grotto room, these four yellow coffins, oops, are still yellow coffins, evil!
This trend and layout obviously have a mystery in it.
Therefore, this strange drop is very strange, don't open the coffin easily, otherwise a big toad will pop up, which will be enough for us to drink a pot of miles. Old Ghost Su talked eloquently.
"What's going on? We're just going to work in vain, so why don't we go home? Niu Gang asked puzzled.
Bai Yunfei showed a wry smile: "Big Black Bull, you think it's beautiful, it's back a fart!" The scales are all smashed, with what? ”
Thirteen was also a little anxious and asked, "Then what should we do next?" Can't you just spend it here? ”
Cao Longxuan resumed his trademark smile again: "Don't be impatient, Elder Su will have a way." ”
"Oh, Boss Cao, you think too highly of me." Old Ghost Su grabbed his gray hair a little helplessly, and said, "There is a way, but it's too dangerous." ”
"How?"
Old Ghost Su held the handle of the Luoyang shovel and pointed to the coffins: "The way is, open!" ”
Bai Yunfei was a little surprised: "Just drive it directly?" Didn't you say that there was a good chance that there would be a big toad inside? ”
Old Ghost Su also smiled wryly, and said jokingly: "The widow buys cucumbers—she has no choice but to buy cucumbers." ”
It seems that this is the only way to go.
But Bai Yunfei glanced at Niu Gang and found that he was also looking at Bai Yunfei.
I don't know if everyone else here has encountered this legendary terrible toad, anyway, for Xiaobai like Bai Yunfei and Niu Gang, let alone a toad, they haven't even experienced opening a coffin and seeing a corpse.
Bai Yunfei thought to himself: To say an inappropriate analogy, I am like a student who has just been in the internship stage, and I have not even seen a model, so I am asked to be a forensic doctor to dissect a real corpse, is there anything more difficult than this?
Looking at the other people preparing things with a resolute face, what black dog blood, black donkey hooves, boy urine, Guanyin soil...
Old Ghost Su actually pulled out a peachwood sword in a decent manner, pinched two spells drawn on yellow paper, and put a small bottle of cinnabar that he had shown off to everyone, and a few pieces of yellow paper that had not yet been drawn, tucked them in his coat pocket, fiddling around, like a ghost hunter in a movie.
Cao Longxuan was carrying a rope in his hand, which was black and did not look like an ordinary rope.
Bai Yunfei asked him what it was, and he said that it was a rope made from the skin of a yak born at noon on dog days, and twisted around the stems of a rare special plant called "bundle immortal vine".
This kind of rope is very pure yang, and because it is mixed with a rare special plant called "bundle of fairy vines", it is said to be very powerful against those evil ghosts and ghosts and other things in folklore.
Bai Yunfei didn't understand too much what he was doing with this thing, and how to use it, but it sounded like even immortals could be tied, so wouldn't it be easy and pleasant to bundle one or two big toads?
Bai Yunfei looked at Niu Gang again, he was still standing stupidly in the six gods, Bai Yunfei said: "Da Niu, we can't be spectators, you, copy the sledgehammer of the thirteenth, if there are really any big toads, even if the mother smashes them to death."
No, these things are dead in the first place, and they can't be killed again.
However, if there is an evil spirit in worship, you will smash it to rot, I guess you will smash them to a pulp, what is it called a toad, just a pile of scum. ”
Niu Gang became energetic when he heard this: "Okay, day shift, look at the scenery in the telescope—you can look at you." ”
As he spoke, he took the sledgehammer that he was carrying thirteen, and after holding it in his hand, he also swung his arms in the air a few times, the tiger and the tiger were full of wind, and the momentum shook the sky, like a god will descend to earth, Tiangang roared, so brave.
Bai Yunfei picked up a sapper shovel and clenched it with both hands.
When I looked down, I found that my knuckles were white, and I was obviously quite nervous.
However, since you have come here, it doesn't matter if it's a demon or a ghost to scare people, come out to cure it one by one, and come out to destroy it with two!
After they were ready to stop, everyone gathered around one of the coffins, waiting for the thirteen to pry the coffin lid with an iron chisel, and when they couldn't pry it in, Niu Gang used a sledgehammer to help nail it a few times.
The sound of "bells" in this silent Qianguan underground palace was particularly deafening, and even the heartbeat was so nervous that it was in tune with the sound.
But the sarcophagus was heavy and sturdy, and an iron chisel and a sledgehammer could not pry it open immediately.
Su Lao Ghost asked Thirteen to pry along the coffin in more than one place around the week, pry the seal of the lid loose, and then everyone took a few other iron chisels around to pry together.
In this way, the lid of the coffin began to loosen.
In the process of everyone's prying, Old Ghost Su held the peachwood sword, and pinched two spells in the other hand, staring at everyone's every move.
After a few more pries, the seals of the coffin lid were basically opened, and those things like sealing mud fell to the ground "crackling".
Old Ghost Su bent down and picked up a small piece, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.
After hearing this, I saw that his eyes widened violently, and he put the small piece of sealing mud in his hand in front of him to watch.
Then I heard Su Lao Ghost exclaim: "It's not good! Stop it. ”
But it was too late, and at this time, I heard a loud sound of "squeak", and the sarcophagus that had been sealed for thousands and hundreds of years was pried open by everyone.
At this time, the coffin lid was pried open with a large slit and placed diagonally on the coffin.
Everyone was startled by his shout, Bai Yunfei was so frightened that he shook the shovel of the sapper holding the coffin lid in his hand, and his hand did not hold it, and the "bell" fell on the stone brick floor.
Then he bounced on the ground a few times, and made several noises in a row, which made the very tense atmosphere in this already strange environment several times more serious.
Bai Yunfei hurriedly picked up the sapper shovel, and heard everyone's nervous and rapid gasp like pulling a bellows.
Seeing everyone nervously looking at me, I looked at you, and then at the coffin lid, all of them maintained one posture, as if they had been immobilized, and they didn't dare to move.
In the end, they all stared at Old Ghost Su, wanting to hear why he suddenly shouted in a frightening manner.
Old Ghost Su's hand in pinching the small piece of sealing mud trembled a little, and his voice was a little hoarse and said:
"His grandmother has a hoof, and I said just now to see how this mud is dripping piece by piece, and it is evenly spaced.
I'm a good girl, it turns out that this is not sealing mud at all, this is the legendary 'soul-sucking cypress moss'!
Legend has it that this thing is like moss, but when it grows to the size of a small tree, it has the ability to absorb souls.
The main reason is the environment in which it grows, and this moss-like thing can only grow in the tens of thousands of pit killing environments on the ancient battlefield, that is, in those mass graves.
This thing has sucked too many souls and the souls of wild ghosts, and has great evil power, as long as it does not disperse the fragrance, it can detain the soul, and the soul of the person in this coffin will not disperse after death, and the corpse will change.
Alas, I've never seen it, I thought it was just bluffing, but it turned out that there was such a thing. ”
But this old ghost Su said it so scaryly, he actually wiped the piece of "soul-sucking cypress moss" on his clothes and quickly stuffed it into a sealed box.
Everyone was very scared when they heard this, Bai Yunfei looked at everyone's expressions, they were all nervous and panicked, but Cao Longxuan's face was not shocked.
Then there was a deathly silence, without any sound.
After a long time, everyone's wheezing frequency decreased.
It seems that there is no danger for the time being, so the stiff body also moves a few times.
Because the ghost lamps on the surrounding stone walls have been lit with solid alcohol blocks, everyone's flashlights have long been turned off.
But as soon as the lid of the coffin was pried open with a big crack, he was frightened to stop by Su Laogui's sudden shout, and it had not been completely pried open, so that the light could not shine into the coffin, and he could not see the situation inside.
So a flashlight shone in, it was Cao Longxuan's flashlight.
By the light of the flashlight, everyone looked into the coffin vigilantly.
However, the crack of the coffin lid opened small, and only the parts illuminated by the flashlight could be seen to be some cloth-like things, and it was still difficult to see whether there were any corpses or other items inside.
