Chapter 339: Jin Sinan's coffin

From the gate of the yard to the door of the house, it is only about 20 meters, maybe the whole yard is almost covered with weeds! The road of more than 20 meters, I walked like hundreds of kilometers, and when I walked to the door, my palms were already sweaty.

Through the crack in the door, I saw a black cupboard overturned inside the door.

Well? Isn't Lao Huang here, otherwise the cabinet won't be erected if it falls down! I wondered to myself.

The man in glasses slowly pushed the door open, and we both held our breath and stared inside the door.

When the door was halfway open, my scalp was numb—what kind of cupboard I had just seen! It was clearly a black coffin. When they saw that there was a coffin inside the door, they were so frightened that they took several steps back in succession.

"Mom! How can there be a coffin here......"

Li Xiaobai turned around and wanted to run, but was scolded by me.

After a pause, I looked at it again, and the house was very empty, with a coffin near the door and on the innermost side, and what was even more strange was that the yard was so desolate that the house was very clean, and there was not even a cobweb between the beams and purlins, and there was only a little dust on the ground.

After glancing at it, I secretly said in my heart: It's so clean, someone should come to clean it regularly, and there must be smoked insects and ants in the room, otherwise how can there be no insects!

In addition, I could smell a faint smell of spices, and when I sniffed closely, the smell was actually coming from the coffin. Could it be that there are some rare spices in the coffin? After looking at these two very quaint coffins again, I probably guessed where the fragrance came from.

These two coffins are supposed to be made of a very precious wood, and the fragrance comes from the wood itself.

"Holy! This coffin...... The coffin is made of golden silk nanmu. ”

I just wanted to ask the man with glasses, what kind of wood is this, after all, he knows antiques and knows the material of the coffin well. Unexpectedly, he spoke first.

At that time, I was surprised to see the man with glasses, and I had already guessed that this wood was very precious, but when I asked later, I realized that the coffin was even more precious than I expected.

Golden silk nanmu is generally produced in China's Hunan and Hainan Senshan, golden silk nanmu is the best wood, in ancient times, the general imperial mausoleum can afford to use golden silk nanmu.

Across the world, in the construction of Chinese-style garden architecture with foreign aid, Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and Switzerland and other countries specify the use of Nanmu, which may be considered to be thick and long with a straight trunk and a small sharpness, which is very suitable for use.

The growth law of the golden silk nanmu makes the big machine late (it takes 60 years to grow vigorously in the golden stage). Due to the strong luster of the wood (especially when planing, there are obvious bright spots, some people use it as golden silk nan), even if it is not painted, it becomes brighter and brighter. The bark is thin with dark punctate bark pores; There is a black annular layer where the inner ephelium meets the wood.

Because the earlier Nanmu was mostly a large material, and the tree had few straight knots, the texture was smooth and not easy to deform, and it was not rotten or moth-eaten for thousands of years, so it ranked first among the white woods in addition to hardwood, and its wood value was also above some hardwoods.

In the Qing Dynasty, not only the beams and pillars of important palaces were made of nanmu, but also rosewood or rosewood was often used to match nanmu to make furniture, usually such as nanmu for the core board of the tabletop, and hardwood for the frame such as plastering.

Now, the rare and endangered golden silk nanmu is rare in the country. The Forbidden City is the largest and most complete ancient building in China. There are only a few pieces of Nanmu furniture from the Qing Dynasty in the Beijing Imperial Palace;

The Ling'en Hall of the Ming Ming Tombs is the largest existing Nanmu Palace, the 60 giant pillars in the hall are all made of the whole golden silk Nanmu, the diameter is very thick, and two people have to hug together. In addition, the Chengde Summer Resort's Jingcheng Hall is also the current premier Nanmu Palace.

The folk also have Nanmu's arhat bed, the step bed and the carved flying cover, plaques, couplets, and couplets.

In short, one gram of high-quality golden silk nanmu is equivalent to one gram of gold.

……

The Chinese's fear of coffins has been written into the genes, and after the glasses man's eyes flashed a trace of excitement at seeing Jin Sinan's coffin, he instantly resumed his fear of coffins.

"Xiao Zhen, there is nothing here except for two coffins!"

"I saw it too!"

"That'...... So what did Lao Huang do here before? Chen Xiaozhen's voice was full of horror.

Hearing what he said, I was also stunned, and hurriedly turned to look at the man with glasses.

"I don't know! Before, the teacher just asked me to send him outside the courtyard gate and then ...... Then come back the next morning to pick him up. The man with glasses was a little uncomfortable stared at by me and Li Xiaobai, and hurriedly explained.

"What? Did he come at night and stay here for the night? "When I heard the words of the man with glasses, I was even more surprised. There was nothing else in this house except for two coffins, could it be that he lay in the coffin for the night?

"Yes...... Oh, yes! After dinner, I bring him and pick him up before breakfast—I don't come often, but only two or three times a year! ”

The man with glasses also sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked towards the inner room.

We looked at the three houses very much, and the strange thing is that the other two rooms were filled with wooden horses, wooden carts, small wooden houses, etc., and at first glance they looked like dead people's dead objects, and there was not even a normal utensil.

Back in front of the coffin at the door, the faces of all three people turned pale.

Could it be that every time Lao Huang comes here, he lies in the coffin for one night? It's fucking horrible. Thinking about what I experienced before, and what happened today, I judge that this terrible thing really happened, and I think Lao Huang is lying in this coffin now!

As soon as I told them what I thought, they both trembled.

"Xiao Zhen, you...... Do you really think so? The glasses man's brain seems to have short-circuited, and his expression has become very wooden.

"Xiao Zhen! You don't want to pry open the coffin board to take a look, do you? ”

I nodded.

Digging graves is regarded as a very immoral thing in the countryside, and we also have a feeling of discomfort when we do it, but when we think about it, if we don't open this coffin and look at it, I am afraid that the doubts in our hearts will not be solved.

"The quality of golden silk nanmu is very heavy! If the coffin is nailed, you have to have a few tools at hand! ”

I understand what the man with glasses means.

As the saying goes, "no one is rich without a windfall", and normal antique trading does not make much money, so most of them have secret connections with tomb robbers, and even some antique dealers personally participate in tomb robbing activities.

There are special tools to open the coffin and rob the tomb - this is the kind of tool that the man with glasses is referring to.

"Let's try it first!" I said casually.

The glasses man and Li Xiaobai were one by one, I had a lot of strength, and in the middle, I shouted "up", and the coffin board was lifted up.

I was in the middle of the coffin, and the first thing I saw was inside the coffin - just one glance, it was like a lightning bolt in my head, and I almost let go.

There is indeed a person lying in the coffin, this person is very familiar to us, but it is not Lao Huang, it is actually an antique Li!
