"Wood knife?" Lang Gao was stunned and didn't move. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

I hummed and said, "There should be something at the bottom of this coffin, and you can only see the inside if you split it a little with a firewood knife." ”

After hearing this, he was silent for a while and asked, "Why do you use a firewood knife?" ”

I explained: "The hatchet has a natural restraint on woody things, and splitting the bottom of the coffin with the hatchet can keep the coffin in a special aura, which is good for the deceased. ”

He groaned and turned to leave.

After about three or four minutes, Lang Gao came over with a firewood knife, he handed the firewood knife to me, and said, "Brother Jiu, if this coffin is really a colorful coffin, what are you going to do?" ”

I didn't speak, mainly because I didn't know what to do, so for the sake of the future, I only split the bottom of the coffin first, and the specific matters can only be seen step by step.

Soon, I held a firewood knife in one hand and three unlit incense sticks in the other, and made a few gestures towards the coffin, my face sank, and I said sharply: "Disciple Chen Jiu, on the order of the Taishang Laojun, come to check the coffin, wait for the lonely soul to retreat quickly, don't annoy this monarch, and send down bursts of heavenly thunder to make the soul of Er and others scatter." ”

After speaking, I asked Lang Gao to burn some yellow paper at the door of the hall, and motioned for Chen Erbei to set off a firecracker.

When the sound of firecrackers ended, I exhaled heavily, inserted the three-pillar incense on the offering table, and then tightened the firewood knife in my hand, and asked the idlers to retreat outside the hall, leaving only Chen Erbei to help on the side.

As for why he kept Chen Erbei, it was because his night song could calm the evil spirit of the deceased, and once the situation changed, he could let Erbei sing a night song.

After preparing all this, I first knocked the bottom of the coffin with the back of the knife of the wood knife a few times, and found that the sound was particularly strange, not the usual 'bang' sound, but a very dull humming sound, as if something was at the bottom of the coffin.

This made my heart become inexplicably nervous, I remember that the "Liuding Liujia Funeral Sutra" said, the center of the colorful coffin is seven inches on the left side of the bottom of the coffin, as for what is within seven inches, the parchment did not say, just a vague summary, saying yes, the principle of yin and yang, also determined, the upper and lower for the five evil, treacherous, also avoided.

"Made, it's just a coffin, and you can't hide demon beasts." I puffed up my breath, measured seven inches with my hand on the left side of the coffin, and then knocked on it, still with the same dull sound as before.

At that moment, I raised the firewood knife and was about to chop it, when suddenly, Na Lang Gao shouted at the door, "Brother Jiu, there is a trick in the coffin, be careful." ”

I frowned, didn't speak, raised my hatchet and slashed down, considering that the deceased was lying inside, I had very little strength at hand.

As soon as the knife went down, a tiny slit was revealed at the bottom of the coffin, and through the light in mid-air, I could vaguely see that there seemed to be something inside the coffin.

Without any hesitation, I raised my hand and slashed again.

After seven or eight slashes in a row, a two-finger-wide gap was revealed at the bottom of the coffin, and I could vaguely see that the thing inside was colored, and my heart sank, Made, it was really a colorful coffin.

As soon as I found out about this situation, I asked Chen Erbei to sing a night song on the side, and I used a firewood knife to start cleaning the sawdust on the side at a distance of seven inches.

To my surprise, I noticed that the wood at the bottom of the coffin seemed to be divided into two layers, and to put it bluntly, there was a mezzanine at the bottom of the coffin.

This made my whole heart sink and I didn't care so much, so I carefully cleaned up the sawdust.

It took about ten minutes for a circular pattern to appear in the eye, this pattern depicts a bird that resembles a wild duck but has a mouse-like tail, the paint above the neck is black, the body is yellow and purple, the paws are cyan, and the tail is red.

"What's that?" I muttered, reached out and touched it, and the feeling of my hand was a little rough, especially the position of the bird's head, which was not only rough, but also a little clucking.

When I saw this, I fell into deep thought, and I remember my father telling me that when a carpenter makes a coffin, there are very few patterns to choose from, and there should be no such bird.

Wait, the pattern on the coffin?

I suddenly remembered a kind of bird, called the 絜 (xie) hook, its shape is like a rat's tail, good at climbing the wood, see its country is plagued, the folk call it a plague bird, there are also rumors that the plague god in the sky, in fact, is made of the hook cultivation.

Made, carved hooks in five colors, has a very obvious meaning, either a curse or a bad luck.

Either way, the appearance of this hook at the bottom of the coffin is definitely a bad omen.

Just when I was stunned, Na Lang Gao shouted again, "Brother Jiu, I feel the existence of the dead." ”

Hearing this, I turned my head to look at Lang Gao, and saw that his face was solemn, and his nose seemed to be sniffing something, and I asked him, "Do you feel the intention of the deceased?" ”

He shook his head, said he didn't know, and walked towards me.

Soon, he walked up to me, first glanced at the hook at the bottom of the coffin, and frowned: "Brother Jiu, what do you mean by the colorful coffin?" ”

I hummed and said, "Don't underestimate these five colors, red, blue, black, purple, and yellow represent metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in the five elements of yin and yang, and at the same time, they symbolize the east, south, west, north, and middle respectively, containing the divine power of the five directions, and have a suppressive effect on the coffin, but... These five colors are generally royal coffins, which are used to carve five-colored golden dragons, and have the meaning of blessing inside. ”

Speaking of this, I paused, reached out and touched the sides of the coffin, and continued: "And now these five colors are being used to carve the hook, I am worried..."

"Worried about what?" Lang Gao asked.

I said, "I'm afraid that there will be a plague in this Shanghe Village, and the source is probably this coffin." ”

"The plague?" He wondered.

I nodded, told him the source of the hook, and said: "According to the "Liuding Liujia Burial Sutra", the colorful coffin is known as the five evil coffins, these five evils are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, corresponding to the five kinds of life, I suspect that Song Qianxi, Song Hua, Xiang Shuiqin and the stranger will turn into blood and water, I am afraid that it corresponds to these five evils. ”

"Impossible!" Na Lang Gao glanced at me and asked me, "Brother Jiu, what are the five kinds of life that you are talking about!" ”

"The gold in the sea of Jiazi is the golden life; Wuchen big forest tree, for the life of wood; The fire in the Bingyin furnace is the life of the fire; Gengwu roadside soil, for the life of the soil; Bingchou stream goes into the water, which is the life of water, and the five evils correspond to these five kinds of life. ”

After speaking, I suddenly remembered something, so I said to Lang Gao, "Big brother, can you do me a favor." ”

"What?" He was stunned and asked.
