Black Gold Chapter 6 Boring Old Perverts
There was really nothing of value in Zhang Shuozhi's coffin. The debris all over the ground caught my attention, and there were a lot of dark red confetti scattered on the ground, because of the old messy crumplors on the ground, some of which had merged with the ground and were embedded in it, and if you didn't look closely, you might mistake it for vermilion paint. Fanzi observed this before I did, crouching on the ground, fiddling with the broken pieces of paper, roughly piecing together a shape:
Doll.
Paper people all over the floor!
Why are there so many paper people in the tomb? Thinking of the small paper figure that I burned down in the tomb, I felt inexplicably panicked.
It is actually normal for paper products to appear in the cemetery, but under normal circumstances, this kind of paper products are paper copper coins and paper ingots, although there are also paper people, but they are all three-dimensional paper people who use bamboo to fix the shape and then paste the paper on. It's really weird that there are so many small paper people stacked in Zhang Shuo's tomb. Don't...... He's also looking for a stand-in? Thinking of this, I glanced around with my peripheral vision, and the feeling of someone staring at me in the corner suddenly became intense, and the hairs on my body stood on end.
It's an illusion! It's an illusion! Think no more! I admonished myself in my heart.
After the monster vomited, he walked over, and the kid wiped his tears and snot and scolded: "Fuck uncle, what's wrong with this person, he actually likes to play with this kind of thing, what an old pervert!" I'm sick to death. β
"Are you alright?" I asked him.
"What a fart, thief, my intestines are about to spit out...... Did you find any treasures?! He said, rolling his eyes.
I shook my head.
The monster smoothed out, pretending to put his arm on my shoulder mysteriously and said, "Fourth, when I vomited just now, I suddenly thought of a place!" Do you remember when we were in Ta County, there was a pit under the tomb of Naya Group! Maybe this one has too! β
"Ridiculous! The waist pit under the coffin, that is the treatment only of the Shang and Zhou nobles, saying that there is a waist pit in a Qing Dynasty civilian tomb, why don't you say that there are terracotta warriors and horses in the modern tomb! It's just a laugh out of the big teeth! Qiu Ying was also fascinated by the paper figure on the ground, and after listening to the monster's words, he said speechlessly.
"If you don't move the coffin away, you will know! It doesn't take much effort! The monster rolled up his sleeves and carried the coffin to the side.
Although Qiu Ying thought that the idea of a monster was ridiculous, he didn't stop it.
I saw that the boy was struggling to carry it, so I hurriedly helped him.
"There seems to be a dark compartment!" We removed the coffin, and Karu stepped forward and said.
The ground under the coffin was covered with a thin, deformed plank, and Garu pulled out the plank, only to see that a large square pit had been dug into the ground under the plank, and a large brown wooden box was filled in it.
"I'll just say there's something down here, you still don't believe it, Master Yan and I are also people who have entered the tomb, no matter how I say it, I have seen the world!" When the monster saw that there was really something down there, he was so excited that he was about to go to the sky.
Qiu Ying saw that there was indeed something underneath, but he didn't have anything to say, so he whispered to us to open the box.
There were four very large nails nailed to the four corners of the box, and in the middle was a Buddha statue I had never seen before, and a few large characters were neatly engraved under the Buddha statue: Vacuum hometown, no biological parents.
I took the screwdriver and struggled to pry the nails on the wooden box. The nail cap was uneven and very difficult to start. In the process of prying, I observed that the two nail caps on my side were engraved with a vague "ancient" character and a vague "Shen" character, although these two words were blurred, but the carving was very deep, and I didn't know what it was to pay attention to.
Finally pulled out the nails, the wooden box still couldn't be opened, the monster was in a hurry, took out a short-handled axe and wanted to smash the wooden box, but was stopped by Qiu Ying, he was afraid that he would use the smashed things inside, so he still let us use prie.
The two of us and I used our strength to feed, but the lid of the wooden box did not move. Seeing that the two of us couldn't pry it open, Karu and Fanzi stepped forward to help.
The four of them worked together, only to hear the sound of "click" from the inside of the box, like the sound of some buckle breaking.
An ominous premonition rose in my heartβ
A puff of black smoke spilled out of the box! It tastes like old stinky tofu mixed with swill, not to mention how disgusting!
We were caught off guard by this unforeseen situation and retreated.
When the black smoke cleared, Garu was the first to go over to check, he pinched his nose and walked to him, first stunned for a moment, and after confirming it again and again, he said to Qiu Ying in discouragement and surprise:
"It's hair."
Hair?
A few of us gathered around, and the box was filled with clumps of hair.
These black, green hairs were stacked on top of each other, like seaweed, and they were indescribably weird.
Qiu Ying took out a pair of slender silver chopsticks from his body, and he took the chopsticks and gently stirred them in the wooden box a few times, and the color of the silver chopsticks began to turn black.
"You stir-fry! Is there anything there? Ignoring the poison of the hair, the youkai kept urging.
The result of waiting was a big disappointment, Qiu Ying only took out a few strips of rags from a box of hair, and nothing else.
"Boss, it's been a long time, what's going on! What kind of medicine is sold in this Shuozhi gourd? The monster said urgently.
Qiu Ying didn't answer, he looked thoughtfully at the paper man embedded in the ground, and then picked up the four spikes that I and the monster pried out, with a thoughtful expression. It's like a detective looking into a crime.
"This old man likes to sell guanzi! Tsk, I really think I'm here for archaeology! The youkai muttered.
This time I agree with him, I don't like to watch people sell off.
Qiu Ying picked up a piece of mutilated paper, walked to the dilapidated coffin, looked at the dry bones that the owner of the tomb, Zhang Shuozhi, had already scattered, and whispered a few strange sentences:
"Monk Shimason, you call yourself to be. First the monk died, and then the stonemason died. Go home early and top the bridge. β
It sounded like a black ballad, and in the current scene, it was really uncomfortable to read it in Qiu Ying's sandpaper-rough voice.
Qiu Ying, who finished reading the ballad, looked much more relaxed, he looked at the bones of Zhang Shuozhi, the owner of the tomb, contemptuously, and threw the piece of paper in his hand away.
"This is a kind of demon art that circulated in the Ming and Qing dynasties, called soul calling. At that time, it was said that through a person's hair, clothing, or even as long as the person's name was known, the person's soul essence could be stolen. Qiu Ying said.
"What a!" The monster said with a look of disdain.
"Otherwise, how can it be called feudal superstition." I said.
"Look at this box full of men, God knows how many people's hair he stole from. When he was alive, he hid and made it bad, and he had to be buried after death......" Qiu Ying said and shook his head.
"It's not just the hair, I see the four iron nails engraved with words, it should also be related to his witchcraft!" I asked.
Qiu Ying nodded: "En." This one is even more ruthless, it is a direct curse, carving names on nails, nailing these people with nails, controlling their souls. β
"He's too greedy, what does he want so many people's souls to do?" The youkai wondered.
"Seeking money, power, and borrowing life, it is impossible to avoid these things related to the grave." Qiu Ying snorted coldly.
"I didn't expect this box to have a Buddha statue carved on the outside, but there is a witchcraft hidden inside, it's really ironic." I sighed.
"Buddha statue? You mean this? Qiu Ying kicked the lid of the big wooden box, "Don't you see the eight words engraved underneath?" Vacuum hometown, no parents, this is engraved with a childless mother, is the creator of the Ming and Qing dynasties, you don't think it's Guanyin Bodhisattva, right? This Wuwei sect is a complex sect, and Buddhism is not a sect, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, this organization belonged to a cult and was to be suppressed. β
Qiu Ying sighed and continued: "It seems that he has studied Feng Shui at the same time. If I guess correctly, he must have used it to defend against people like us, just like the tomb figurines of Tianwang Town outside. β
"How do I feel like this duck is talking nonsense?" The youkai said to me with a look of disbelief.
"Looks like someone arrived before us and broke the spell." Qiu Ying said to herself.
"But then again, this Zhang Shuozhi is also patient, there was no barber shop in this ancient period, and there was so much hair in one box, I really don't know where he got it......" The monster hummed and said.
"Brother!"
Just as we were discussing Zhang Shuozhi's life, Kalu suddenly stopped Qiu Ying.
"What's wrong?" Qiu Ying immediately raised his vigilance.
"Youβ" Garu pointed to the back of his head.
Qiu Ying turned his head, only to see that a large piece of hair on the top of his head was missing, as if he had been gnawed by something!
