Book 2: The Bronze Hanging Coffin of the Ba People Chapter 29: Open the coffin for autopsy
Next! The four of us acted according to the plan, carrying large bags of equipment and entering the bandit ditch to open the coffin.
When I just arrived at the entrance of the bandit ditch, I saw that the sky was gray, and the more I went inside, the more dense the dark clouds in the sky, and I saw that the weather was not very good when I first went out in the morning. I couldn't hold it back, so I patted the fat man walking in front and asked, "Fatty!" Are you sure it's time to open the coffin today? Look at the day! It's eerie, don't look away and make the wrong day. ”
The fat man stopped and turned back to me, "I can't be wrong!" I've done the math, and today couldn't be more suitable. ”
I didn't speak, I just kept staring at the fat man with suspicious eyes, and when the fat man saw this, he showed a dissatisfied attitude, "Dead Ngawang!" Retract your eyes, don't look at me like this with your squinting eyes, I've been with your brother for so many years, you pout your ass and I'll know what you're going to fart, don't you just don't believe me, didn't the ancients say, there are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have ...... night" The fat man immediately realized that he had made a mistake when he said this, and quickly stopped talking, and "bah" a few times.
Seeing this, I said, "You broken mouth, you can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth!" ”
"Slip of the tongue! Tongue! After the fat man admitted his mistake with a proper attitude, he changed his words and said, "When the weather forecast is, how can I guarantee that it must be a sunny day today." ”
Just as the fat man's words fell, the sky immediately rumbled and a muffled thunder, and when the thunder was still echoing in the valley, lightning and thunder immediately thundered in the dark clouds in the sky in the direction of the coffin in front of him, and a white lightning bolt tore through the gray clouds, echoing in his ears with the sound of a thunderbolt.
"I'm afraid it's going to change, you two don't fight! It's important to speed up and get down to business. As he spoke, the ghost quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the cliff.
When Lan Xin passed by me and the fat man, he also said, "I really convinced you two, you two have known each other for almost seven years!" Originally, I thought that the seven-year itch was only for the relationship. At this point, he stopped again, his eyes jumped on us, and he changed his words, "But today is an eye-opener!" ”
The fat man and I looked at each other, then each rolled their eyes, "Cut!" With a sound, he followed Lan Xin and the ghost.
Jubanggou is located in the west of Shennongjia, Shennongjia from the end of the Indochinese movement to the beginning of the Yanshan movement, there was a strong fold and a large area of tilting, in some sections of the residual glacial landform, resulting in its landform complex and diverse, mainly to dissolve the landform, dissolution erosion landform, denudation erosion landform, accumulation landform, etc., and the bandit ditch is the accumulation landform, here can be called a strange stone forest, the size of the stone is different, resulting in the road surface is not very flat, it is better to walk in the mountain forest than to climb up and down in a pile of rocks, such a terrain not to mention the march to fight, even if you walk normally, you have to worry about your feet at all times, and it is no wonder that the national army will be wiped out when it enters the mountains to suppress bandits.
We walked and stopped all the way, tossing back and forth for nearly three hours, before it was difficult to reach the bottom of the cliff of the hanging coffin, from the bottom of the cliff to look up the whole cliff and the gray sky together, only the two large coffins hanging on the edge of the cliff cave were particularly eye-catching, and immediately imprinted into the eye.
"It's those two hanging coffins!" The fat man pointed to the hanging coffin and motioned to the ghost and Lan Xin to look.
The ghost narrowed his eyes and asked as he looked at the hanging coffin, "This coffin is hanging in the middle of the cliff, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to open the coffin later." ”
"Comrade Wang, you have to believe in the strength of the organization, and the organization has already thought about the problems in this regard." The fat man patted the ghostly ghost with a sad face, and as he said, he took out the pulley and iron chain from the back of the bag, "Look at it! Last time, Ngawang and I found that there was a tree on the cliff above the coffin that was at least 100 years old, and we could use it as a guide wheel, so that we could save a lot of effort. The fat man said as if he couldn't wait to open the coffin, and walked first on the path up the mountain, and waved to us to keep up.
It was only at noon that we came to the top of the coffin, and since it was cloudy, it felt like evening even though it was noon. The wind of the cliff is continuous, the dark clouds above the head are getting lower and lower, this is the precursor to rain, if it rains, the rain wetting the cliff will make the cliff slippery, and then it will inevitably increase the difficulty of opening the coffin for us, without further ado, the four of us began to divide labor and cooperate, and the weather race, less than half an hour, a simple guide wheel will be done.
Then the fat man began to open the altar method, he learned it from the ninth uncle, the young fat man put on a yellow coat like a big opera, looking at me I can't help but want to laugh, but now I am more worried about the rain and miss the big thing, so I am not in the mood to laugh at him, just when the fat man just began to chant "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Spiritual ......" only to hear another muffled thunder explosion in the sky, the wind and clouds, all the dark clouds began to surge to the middle like boiling water, only to see that the sky is getting darker and darker.
Seeing this, I immediately said to the fat man, "I said, fat Taoist! Don't show off, time is running out. ”
The fat man closed his eyebrows, nodded and immediately clasped his hands together and made a strange gesture, and then only listened to him say, "There is a god with three feet above his head, breaking the ground and opening the coffin with super spirituality, and he is as urgent as a law, and he is ——! Then we lit a handful of incense, divided each of us into three and asked each of us to worship sincerely, and after all the procedures were completed, it began that it was time for me, the fat man, and the ghost to show their skills, and the three of us each tied the climbing rope and went down to the hanging coffin with all our might, and the fat man lit three pillars of incense on the small altar in the gap between the two hanging coffins before agreeing to me and the ghost.
After he gave the order of "do it", the three of us began to pry the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body and began to pry, perhaps because the coffin has been for a long time, so when the coffin lid is pried, you can always hear the "squeak" sound of the wooden hair, and after the pry is loosened all around, the fat man shouted to the blue core on the cliff, "Put the iron hook!" ”
Then we hooked the four sides of the coffin lid with iron hooks, and then Lan Xin put down the twine ropes of the three index iron hooks, and she grabbed one by herself, and the four of us worked together under the slogan of the ghost. Due to the principle of labor-saving of the guide wheel, we easily lifted the coffin lid and fixed the hemp rope with pitons, and then the fat man was the first to put on a mask, swing towards the hanging coffin, and then grabbed a handful of glutinous rice from his backpack and sprinkled it into the coffin, and then made an OK gesture to me and the ghost after the end.
The fat man said before that as long as the corpse has been dead for a certain period of time, there is corpse poison, and these closed corpses will enhance the corpse poison, although the living person accidentally inhales the body to death, but there must be damage to the body, and Maoshan Taoism has a saying, but the coffin opener must let the dead body in the coffin contact the living person's qi, otherwise it is unlucky, this is their Maoshan Sect's taboo, so we wear masks, as for sprinkling glutinous rice because glutinous rice can drive away corpse poison, sprinkle glutinous rice around the corpse before opening the coffin for autopsy, The first is to let the glutinous rice absorb part of the corpse poison, and the second is that if the corpse is wrong, the glutinous rice will turn black, so that the person who opens the coffin can avoid the corpse change in advance.
After the fat man made the OK gesture, I and the ghost also put on masks, and then shook to the hanging coffin for autopsy, the purpose of our post-mortem examination is mainly to confirm whether the hanging coffin is the body of Guo Feng and Guo Mayor's family of three, the last fat man visited and learned that Guo Mayor is born long and short feet, which is undoubtedly an important clue for our current autopsy, and there is also a clue that the fat man found when he came to collect medicine last time, the last time the fat man said that there is a mother and son coffin from the hanging coffin, as the name suggests, the mother and child coffin is the coffin where the mother and child are buried together, And the Guo family is exactly three, if there is no mistake, there should be three corpses in these two hanging coffins.
And the coffin we are opening now is the mother and son coffin, but what is unexpected is that the mother and child coffin is not a large and a small double corpse, but only a corpse, the corpse is wearing a special dress, although the clothes have been tattered, but there seems to be a string of numbers on the chest, but I can't see what the number is, this dress doesn't look like ordinary clothes, although I don't know the whole picture of the clothes, but there should be some special use, so let me remember it hard.
The skin of the corpse is scorched black and wrinkled, all of which are close to this skeleton, and the face is all flying, and the hideous expression can only be seen through the wide open mouth, and the hair is only scattered on the epidermis of the skull, and all the ten fingers are buttoned, as if grasping something, at a glance, you can see that the corpse was burned by fire before death, and the strangest thing is that there is an iron ring around the neck of the corpse, which is the same as the neck of Wang Zhicheng who was hit by the dog Gu, strange! Why does this corpse have an identical iron ring? Such an iron ring is on the necks of the dead Zheng Dong and Wang Zhicheng, why is this?
With doubts I continued to observe the corpse, the skeleton of the corpse was thin, the shoulders were small and the pelvic bone was wide, from my years of experience in painting, it was not difficult to see that it was a female corpse, I had just analyzed here and was interrupted by the fat man, only to hear the fat man say "Ah Wang! What fucking nonsense are you, didn't you see her boobs bulging, idiots know it's a woman, what kind of skeleton do you see? ”
I felt very embarrassed when the fat man said it, and in order to save some face, I retorted to him and scolded, "Who...... Who's fucking like you, staring at other people's boobs at first glance, you're a corpse lover, right? ”
"Whew! Dead Wangzai, don't talk nonsense, I'm not a pervert, and I love corpses" The fat man said with disgust, "Huh", "It's disgusting." ”
"You two are almost done, when is this, still bickering, it will rain soon, it is important to get down to business." When the ghost on the side said about us, he took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the corpse, and then continued, "If according to what you two said, this mother and son coffin should have been Mayor Guo's wife and child, but how can this be a corpse, then is this female corpse Guo Feng's wife?" What about his child? ”
Faced with the problem of ghosts, the fat man and I could only look at each other, like the monk of Zhanger was confused, and I even doubted whether this female corpse was the wife of Guo Feng and Mayor Guo, and I had to say that there were too many unreasonable in the middle.
The fat man, who has always said that wind is rain, immediately waved and said, "Isn't this simple!" Isn't it over if you pry the hanging coffin below, come on! Just do it. ”
The fat man said that the climbing rope tied to him descended, directly to the hanging coffin under the coffin of the female corpse, I and the ghost did not slack off, descending, opening the hanging coffin below is easy to say, but the actual operation is difficult, not to mention that the iron hook we bring is not enough, that is, the distance between this hanging coffin and the above is less than half a meter, almost next to each other, the coffin cover does not know how to move, because the guide wheel we make can only pull upward, can not pull outward.
This question is really nerve-wracking, I, the fat man and the ghost are you look at me, I look at you, one by one, the bitter face expression is more bitter than eating spicy, the fat man spoke, "Or the three of us will directly kick this coffin to the bottom of the cliff and let it explode." ”
"No——!" I vehemently disagreed with the ghost.
The ghost said, "The bottom of this cliff is full of bushes, a large woods, it is difficult to save the corpse by pushing it down at such a high distance, and it is too inhumane to do so, anyway, as a soldier, I can't do such a thing." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! What Lao Wang said is that with such a lossy move, I Wu Nian dare not agree. "Saying that I criticize the fat man" Now please allow me to criticize the fat man comrade on behalf of the organization, such a heart-to-heart idea violates the provisions of the organization on good deeds and accumulation of virtue, and should be punished! Penalties! At this point, the ghost picked me up and continued, "Yes! We'll punish him, and after this operation, invite us to go to the sea for a meal. ”
When the fat man heard this, he waved his hand in a big arc, "Go, go!" While going cool. Then he pointed to the ghost with a wicked smile on his face and me, "Look! Look at the capitalist faces of the two of you, I am in the primary stage of the proletariat, and I am so damn poor that I am too shy to pay for it, and I ask you to take a smoking, and I don't look at who pays for all these equipment now. And again! Don't you know who my fat man is, I won't just talk about it, you guys are really angry! ”
The ghost and I originally meant to tease him, and I didn't really criticize him, so the fat man's words made me and the ghost laugh, and the laughter made Lan Xin on the cliff hear, only to hear Lan Xin ask loudly on it, "I said what are you three stinky men doing down there?" It's a joke, isn't it? Don't look at the fact that it's about to rain this day, why don't you hurry up and get down to business? ”
As soon as Lan Xin said this, the ghost and I put away laughing, and then the ghost seemed to have found something, patted the fat man's shoulder, pointed to the altar between the two hanging coffins, and asked, "Little fat!" Let's see what happened to the incense you just ordered. ”
After the fat man looked at it, I saw that his brows were tightly locked, and although he was wearing a mask, I could still feel the nervousness and fear revealed by the fat man?
"Fat Xu! What's wrong? "I also asked uneasily?
The fat man didn't answer, but just stretched out his hand and pulled up the three cigarettes, and brought them to his face, only to see that the incense that the three were lit together was inexplicably burned into two short and one long.
"Chubby! You're talking! What's the problem? Three sticks of incense scare you? The ghost saw that the fat man's forehead was sweating slightly, and he also became anxious.
At this time, the fat man spoke: "You two don't know, the incense I ordered in front of us is the ghost food incense array of our Maoshan Sect, Uncle Nine once told me that the living are most afraid of three long and two short, and the dead are most taboo two short and one long, if this ghost food incense is burned into two short and one long, it is a big taboo!" The consequences are unimaginable. ”
The fat man stopped at this point, which made me anxious, loud
Q: "What's so unthinkable?" You fucking mean. ”
"If the ghost food incense is burned into two short and one long, the consequences are very varied, such as the person who opens the coffin will be unlucky, and the ghost will be seen during the day, and the most serious thing is the corpse transformation!" When the fat man said this, he suddenly realized the "corpse transformation" he just said, and the ghost and I immediately realized that something was wrong......
