Chapter 271: See the coffin again
ChineseEveryone's brows furrowed, thinking about how to transport unobtrusively.
And at this time, Cao Nan mentioned another troublesome matter, Dao
"The coffin can only be opened the night after tomorrow, so in the interim, where is the coffin stored, and is it still sinking in the water?" The third uncle shook his head and said
"It can't be put here, we burned the fire just now, and it has already attracted the attention of some people, and we must move it as soon as possible to avoid accidents."
"Shhh...... I have a solution. Feng Daniu said suddenly, seeing that we were all looking at him, he said again
"You see this coffin, the volume is not large, I have a wooden coffin at home to put it in, and then find an excuse to transport the coffin into the polder." Huang Mao nodded and said
"That's a good idea."
"But what excuse do we make?" Cao Nan asked.
"An empty coffin can only be filial piety, there must be an old man in the family, and the health is not very good, and he still lives in the polder, so as not to arouse suspicion." Feng Daniu analyzed.
In the countryside, whenever there is an elderly person in the family, the children and grandchildren must prepare a coffin for the old man to use after a hundred years, commonly known as filial piety.
Maybe many people think that this is the same as preparing a shroud before a person dies, which is a very unfortunate thing, but it is not.
In ancient times, a coffin cost a lot of money, and if the old man died suddenly, many families could not afford to buy a coffin, so they could only bury it with a hastily roll of a mat.
Otherwise, where did there be so many phenomena of selling one's body to bury one's father and one's mother in ancient times? The countryside is more traditional, and this tradition has been inherited, even if the value of a coffin is much lower than before.
In the concept of the countryside, when the old man is over the age of six, the children and grandchildren should prepare a coffin, which is a sign of filial piety, and the old man also likes it; If not, the old people will be unhappy, and the villagers will gossip.
So, let's look at me, I look at you, and finally our eyes stayed on Cao Nan.
Cao Nan's grandmother has long passed the age of sixties, and he is the only one with the right family address and age here. Cao Nan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said
"I can't do it, my family is in the timber business, and there are as many coffins as there are, and my grandmother has left a will, and the body will be cremated after death, and it will not be buried, and many people in the township know it."
"Cao Nan can't work even if he can, the descendants of the mausoleum guards are too eye-catching." The third uncle also directly denied it. We didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, Cao Nan slapped his thigh and said
"I can't, but I know who can!"
"Who?" I asked hurriedly.
"Liu Erlong, that grandson's wife will have a birthday in spring next year, and she will prepare a mouthful of filial piety materials in advance, which is just right to use." Cao Nan said.
My heart lit up, Liu Erlong is a very suitable candidate. Last year, his father drank and drowned in the pond, or the coffin covered by the corpse of me and the yellow-haired Cao Nan, his father likes to drink a lot, and his mother is angry every day, and his health has not been very good.
Some time ago in the ancient repair cave mansion, Liu Erlong got a handful of gold bricks and jade, which can be regarded as a salted fish turned over, and when he had money, he began to build a new house, set a marriage and marry a daughter-in-law, and next year he will give his wife a 60th birthday, this time can be described as a beautiful time.
At this time, buy a mouthful of filial piety and go back, the timing and reasons are just right, and it will not arouse suspicion.
"That's it!" Huang Mao snapped his fingers and said
"I actually forgot about him."
"In this case, first put the inner coffin into the coffin, and then tell Liu Erlong that as long as he helps with this, this coffin will be given away for nothing, let him transport it himself, and we will try not to participate." Feng Da Niu said.
We all nodded, this is the most reliable operation. Liu Erlong's fortune is all of us taking him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to make that windfall at all, at present, he has no problem, looking at Jiao'er Langdang, in fact, he is quite righteous.
So we went our separate ways, Feng Daniu went back to transport the coffin, Huang Mao went back to lobby Liu Erlong, and the third uncle hid, his identity was too sensitive.
Things went very smoothly, it didn't take long for Feng Daniu to transport the coffin over, we put the coffin into the coffin, Liu Erlong happened to arrive, didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and went back with the coffin pulled by the cart.
We scattered and followed from a distance, not daring to come closer. Liu Erlong returned home and locked the coffin directly in the firewood room.
After that, I, Huang Mao, and Hu Lai have been monitoring the movements around the firewood room, for fear that someone with a heart will find any clues.
But it turned out that no, there were no strangers near the firewood house to approach and probe. From this, we breathed a great sigh of relief.
…… Time goes by the day after tomorrow. In the evening, the third uncle quietly entered my shop through the back door. We've discussed it for a while these days and decided to open the inner coffin in the very center of the Thunderstorm Circle, which is in my shop.
The safest place is where ghosts and evil people dare not run in. And once something happens, the thunderstorm at the core of the magic circle is the most powerful, and if others don't say it, Lu Ningxiang once understood it, and was directly seriously injured and unconscious; Of course, she was also a blessing in disguise, recovering the lost memories, and the transportation process was very smooth, taking advantage of the gap between the shifts, we transported the coffin into the store.
"When will Xia Xuanyue appear?" I looked at Hu Lai. Hu Lai glanced at the moonlight outside and said
"About ten o'clock." So we began to wait patiently, and Cao Nan and I had another fight halfway. At ten o'clock, the third uncle ordered the coffin to be opened.
Hu Lai recited the mantra on the inner coffin, this time it was even more awkward than the last time, a full fifth time, and the inner coffin was only
With a "boom", a crack was revealed in the coffin cover. If it weren't for Hu Lai's preparation in the past two days, I'm afraid it would be a question of whether the coffin could be opened today.
Still the same as last time, the third uncle and Cao Nan lifted the coffin cover, and we lined up on both sides, ready to take out the things that ran out of it at any time.
The lid of the coffin was removed little by little, and the gap became wider and wider...... But there was no movement inside. Soon, the coffin opened, revealing something inside, and I was struck by lightning.
Inside is a coffin, not gold or wood, covered with fine silver lines, compared with ordinary coffins, it is much flatter, not like a coffin, but like a piano box.
It's a piano coffin! See the coffin again!! I was stunned, I didn't understand what was going on at all, this harmonica coffin was exactly the same as Lu Ningxiang's mouth, the only difference was the lines on it.
Lu Ningxiang's mouth is white, and this mouth is silver. If it weren't for the different colors, I thought it was Lu Ningxiang's mouth that was put in.
Not only me, but everyone who knew about the coffin was stunned. Cao Nan
"This" for a long time, exclaimed
"Isn't this a piano coffin, second mouthful?"
"Holy!" Huang Mao also said a word, speechless
"What's going on?"
"No wonder the inner coffin is not big, and the coffin inside is also so small." Feng Daniu didn't know much about the coffin, and muttered.
"Changsheng, Lady Jindi, Qin coffin?" I muttered these words, and suddenly I realized that I had grasped something very important.
Could it be that Mrs. Jin Di wants to be like Lu Ningxiang and come back to life? Or did they never die?
Lu Ningxiang lost her memory after coming out of the coffin, and regained her strength little by little by absorbing the power of Yuanyang in her body, and her memory was also recovered after being struck by lightning.
This is entirely a bold assumption. Mrs. Jin Di and Lu Ningxiang were both buried in the coffin and resurrected after thousands of years, the difference is that Lu Ningxiang's coffin was dug up by Feng Deliang first, and Mrs. Jin Di's coffin was taken into our hands.
Another point, when Mrs. Jindi's coffin was taken away by horn insects, Lu Ningxiang appeared. In this, is there also a relationship with the coffin?
Could it be that Lu Ningxiang was also a very powerful person, buried in the coffin for immortality, and now he has come out and been resurrected?
Because he used to be a human, he is not a ghost or an evil spirit. But because she was reborn, or slept for a long time, she lacked popularity, so she was not a human being?
That's a lot of information! In this way, the mystery on Lu Ningxiang's body has a general direction to think about.
I even thought about whether Feng Deliang's death had anything to do with the big mistake made by his grandfather?
The reason is very simple, if grandpa wants to unlock the secret, he must collect the three artifacts, so it is very likely that he will get a piano coffin like us; The harmonica coffin is the one where Lu Ningxiang is sleeping.
