Chapter 52: The Knocking in the Coffin
After the blind man finished speaking, he casually put the white jade fragments of the coffin board in his trouser pocket, and asked Wu Yi to take a few more, saying that he must not underestimate these small objects, maybe he can find a more valuable place than this tomb through these strange words!
Wu Yi was a little reluctant to bring these things, even if the words on it had any value, it had nothing to do with him, after all, he relied on the instructions of the tomb robbery system to find the ancient tomb, not the unloading wrestlers like the blind man who judged by looking for a large number of materials and documents. Second, these broken jade pieces are incomplete, and I am afraid that no one will want to buy them when they take them out.
Then the blind man took the staff in Wu's hand, carefully groped it a few times from beginning to end, nodded and smiled,
"Master Wu, look at what you said just now, the old man told you before, the owner of this tomb, he is most likely the monk in charge of the sacrificial robe, and now as soon as he gets this thing, it is really expected, the shape and structure of this double-headed statue ivory stick, some of which are like the magic tools used by the great monks in history, but the carvings at both ends show that it is actually a kind of sacrificial vessel specially equipped by the high priest, called the ceremonial staff. Therefore, Master Wu, the identity of the good man in the coffin we are facing now is self-evident, it should be a certain senior monk who served as a high priest in the court at that time! ”
Wu Yi also nodded secretly when he heard this, his skills in appreciating antiques were no worse than that of a blind man, and then he looked at the head of the burly corpse lying quietly in the coffin, where there was a bronze mask with two horns on the mouth of a lion-faced tiger, and said,
"Is this Gou Ri inside a monk who has attained the Tao or a demon monk who only blindly scares people, take off the bronze mask of the three beasts on his face, let's take a look, and we can see it immediately!"
As he spoke, Wu Yi patted the blind man's shoulder again and said angrily,
"Blind man, the shroud of the thief's bald body almost killed you just now, you should go and take off his last mask to cover your ugliness, and take revenge on you with your own hands!"
When the blind man heard Wu Yi ask a blind man to take off the mask, he immediately waved his hand and took two steps back,
"Master Wu, hey, don't make this kind of joke, taking off the mask on the corpse's face is not the same thing as you asked the old man to fumble with the mechanism on the coffin board before. The coffin board is dead, and the old man will not touch it alive no matter how much he touches it. But this corpse ...... Although he is also dead, if the old man can't see him and let him suck yang qi and start a corpse, then it will also affect Wu Ye, you will suffer with the old man! ”
Wu Yi snorted at the blind man, so he had to do it himself. Wu Yi glanced at the bronze mask of the three beasts twice, then took a deep breath, and buckled it on the chin at the bottom of the mask, and just wanted to lift it up at once, but suddenly heard the blind man shouting hurriedly behind him,
"Master Wu, wait!"
Wu Yi was taken aback by the blind man, and the action of lifting the mask came to an abrupt end, and when he retracted his hand, he picked up the god-level Luoyang shovel that was placed diagonally on the coffin, turned around and asked in a low voice,
"What's wrong, blind, what's wrong?"
As he spoke, Wu Yi tensed up and looked around, but he didn't see anything abnormal.
When the blind man heard Wu Yi's movements so big, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he understood and said,
"Master Wu, don't be nervous, nothing happened. It was the old man who suddenly thought of something and wanted to remind Wu Ye. ”
As soon as Wu scolded me, he asked the blind man what kind of bird he had. Can't we wait until the mask is lifted, I have to say it at this juncture, so scared that Lao Tzu almost fell into the coffin!
The blind man was also a little embarrassed, and he laughed twice and said,
"Master Wu, what the old man wants to say, if you take off the mask later, it won't work. What the old man wants to say is that since we entered this tomb, we have repeatedly hit the wall, and there are a lot of unpleasant things, so before we meet the owner of this tomb, do we want to recite a mantra or something, but don't make any mistakes again! ”
Wu Yi stretched his neck when he heard this, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and scolded,
"What? Afterlife Curse? This Gou Ri has been lying here for more than a thousand years, even if we want to go over, we don't need it! Besides, Lao Tzu can't recite the mantra of the past life, if you miss it, you can recite it yourself! ”
The blind man also knew that his words were a little wrong, after all, how could anyone who came to touch the gold recite any mantra of the afterlife, and it would be a shame to say it. But the blind man was also a little frightened by the strange things before, so he said stubbornly,
"Master Wu, since you can't wipe your face to read, then the old man has to come to offer ugliness. In the past, when the old man had just lost this pair of eyeballs, he worshiped the Bodhisattva for a while, and he also memorized a few scriptures. Now the old man is reciting a 'Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra' to pray for the blessings and eliminate disasters for the two of us, and also for the undead who have not dispersed for the heroes in this coffin! ”
Saying that, the blind man shook his head and started a sentence there, wah-wow-wow-wow, Wu Yi listened to it crying and laughing next to him, the blind man looked like a god, but he was reciting the scriptures there seriously, and there was an indescribable contradiction and joy.
Wu Yi listened patiently for a long time, but the blind man didn't mean to end it at all, but the more he memorized it, the more energetic he became, Wu Yi was worried that the torch would burn out, so he interrupted the blind man.
"Alright, you're not going to do it anymore, stop reading it! Don't forget, the main man lying in this coffin is also a monk who can recite scriptures, if you continue to recite it, this thief will also recite with you, it will be enough for the two of us to drink a pot! ”
The blind man was originally interrupted by Wu Yi, and he was a little unhappy, but when he heard Wu Yi talk about the back, he couldn't help but be surprised, he shrank his neck in fright, and said with a wry smile,
"I said Master Wu, you ...... You...... Oh, why don't you open which pot to mention, how can you say such a horrible thing! Okay, the old man doesn't read it, you quickly lift his mask! ”
As soon as Wu saw that the blind man was scared, he laughed twice, then put down the Luoyang shovel in his hand again, and was about to go over and lift the mask again, but before he could take a step forward, he suddenly heard a muffled sound of 'bang' coming from the jade coffin in front of him!
This voice appeared very suddenly, Wu Yi and the blind man were taken aback, Wu Yi hurriedly picked up the Luoyang shovel that had just left his hand, and was about to stretch out his head to see what was going on inside, but there was a series of 'dong dong' knocking sounds in the coffin!
