Chapter 6: Ascending the coffin and making a fortune
It's finally time to make a move, but there is a very tricky problem in front of us, that is, how to go up to the altar, there is a river of blood around the altar, there are piranhas in the blood river, and the number is still in groups, obviously it is not possible to swim over, it is too waste of time to kill one by one, and the power of our flashlight is also limited, and it is estimated that if we hold on for another five hours, we will become blind.
I roughly calculated that the straight-line distance from our feet to the altar was less than two hundred meters, and the vertical distance between the altar and the Blood River should also be about two meters, almost the same horizontal position as the Blood River trough. There is a stone pillar within a distance of more than 200 meters, and the stone pillar is carved with all kinds of lifelike, fangs and claws of raptors, so the only way now is to borrow the stone pillar to swing, which sounds like a child playing on a swing. The premise is that there must be a person who dares to risk being torn apart by a piranha and climb to the top of the stone pillar to tie a rope, and of course this person is the only one to choose.
I asked the big mouth, "How long is the rope you brought?" ”
The big mouth looked at me a few times puzzled, didn't ask the reason, wrenched his fingers a few times, and said crisply: "It should be more than 200 meters, what's the matter, if you hang yourself, it must be enough"
I ignored his ridicule and told him my thoughts directly, but Big Mouth didn't raise any objections, after all, although he only has brute strength, he can only be regarded as a trapped dragon, and the most important thing is to use his brains to rob tombs, and the most important thing is not to take this risk from him.
I asked Big Mouth to string all the ropes together as strong as possible, then tied a section of the rope around my waist and told him to pull me back quickly in case something happened.
"Comrade Yu Guangrong, we have no hatred in the future, no hatred in the near future, you can't do anything that falls into the well" Before leaving, I didn't forget to settle him again, after all, this is a life, anyone's life is one, and if I lose my mother, no matter how capable she is, she won't be able to give birth to me.
The big mouth didn't answer me, just smiled at me gloomily, and my legs and stomach trembled with laughter, but I knew that he was calling me, so I didn't take it seriously, and slid directly down the blood river trough into the blood river, and was once again tormented by the stench.
At this time, compared to piranhas, the stench is also a kind of enjoyment, it is better than letting a group of piranhas surround it, and the bone residue is not much better, I calmed myself down a little, and moved forward little by little, trying not to bring up the slightest blood.
At this moment, everything was quiet, and I could only hear my own heartbeat, as if time had stopped, and it felt like that pillar was so far away. I looked back at the big mouth and found that he was not distracted, and watched my every movement seriously, which was considered to relieve my worries.
Every time I took a step, I felt closer to death, and it was so uncomfortable to be neighbors with Lord Yama, and it felt like my head was pinned to my belt.
I stopped and stopped to make sure that it had attracted the attention of the fish, and prayed anxiously, "Fish, I am not your fragrant glutton, the big man in the back is your dish", I prayed almost five times along the way, and by the fifth time, it was less than five meters away from the pillar.
"Be careful!"
The big mouth roared at me, it can be said that a word to wake up the dreamer, just when I was beautiful, a group of dorsal fins swam towards me at a very fast speed, the brain was short-circuited for a short time, a blank, I knew that the person who was in the water and the fish was an idiot.
Now it's me who fights for the fish, and the fish for the knife. In an awkward situation, there is a piranha in front, and the rope in the back two hundred meters is almost all soaked in the water, even if the big mouth has time to save me, the rope is straightened, and at the critical moment I still like to be a idiot, I ran straight forward, jumping two meters away from the stone pillar, I can only beg the Bodhisattva grandmother to bless, I am not yet nineteen years old, I don't want to die.
At the moment when I jumped up and hugged the dragon horns protruding from the stone pillar tightly with both hands, dozens of bloody mouths under my feet opened at the same time, and rows of snow-white teeth were waiting for me to fall.
I'm not worried about the current height, in case a piranha jumps the dragon gate, then I will be dead, so I quickly climb up, until I feel safe before I look down in fear. Now it is estimated that he is more than forty meters high from the piranha, and then he looks at the big mouth on the other side, throwing beads of sweat on the ground one by one, and his face is much paler, I don't know if he is really worried about me, or if he is worried that I will die, he will become a trapped beast.
Fortunately, the stone pillar was not very thick, and I could use a little force on my legs*, and I looked up at the dome a few times, and in four or five meters I could reach out and touch the faces of those fairies. Then he carefully freed up one hand to untie the rope on his waist, found a convex and concave obvious position, and wrapped the rope around three times before he was relieved to tie a dead button.
Then he said to Big Mouth: "Yu Big Mouth, you can swing"
The big mouth nodded knowingly, put the flashlight in his mouth, only hung a sapper shovel behind his buttocks, ran in five steps, and swung over directly, whirring with the sound of the wind, like a flying killing god. In fact, these actions are too pediatric for us, when we were in the army, we were familiar with the actions with a greater difficulty coefficient than this, as if walking on the ground, so there is no difference from playing, the only difference is that the audience below is eyeing you.
By this time the mouth had landed on the altar, and then he wrapped the rope around his wrist and strode forward. I saw that the big mouth was ready, and I also quickly descended, and after landing, I tied the rope to the stone railing, ready to use it when I went back. Only then did he walk towards the coffin unhurriedly, followed closely by the big mouth with the sapper shovel in his hand.
When I got closer, I found that the coffin was oversized, twice as large as an ordinary coffin, so I reached out and touched the coffin, and the black part on the outside should be wrapped in female buffalo skin, not black wood. And such a coffin should be from the Zhou Dynasty. If my guess is right, this is a triple coffin. That is to say, the big coffin sets the small coffin, and the small coffin sets the coffin.
In fact, the coffin is different from the coffin, simply put, the coffin is called the coffin, and the coffin is just the box containing the corpse inside the coffin. The coffin is a symbol of identity and status, and ordinary people can only be buried in a simple four-inch wooden coffin after death, and some even directly wrapped in the ground.
The institutionalization of coffins can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, which had already formed a strict burial system. This kind of coffin can only be enjoyed by princes and princes, which shows that due to the distinction between dignity and inferiority during life, the burial after death is also distinguished in detail, which is the gap between people and people.
At this time, Dazui took out a candle from his body, learned to touch the set of Captain Jin, and was about to light it, but I stopped him, I told him that for such a faint official, he had been corrupt and bribed countless times during his lifetime, and no one could take him a way, we were taking back our own things for the people, and there was no need to ask him for instructions, the blind man lit the lamp in vain, there was no need to waste, save a little is a little, let alone kowtow to him.
"What if the old thing fucking cheats the corpse?" Big Mouth asked stupidly.
"Don't worry, the so-called corpse fraud is those who have grievances and resentments in their hearts before their deaths, and they don't want to enter the way of reincarnation, and the evil spirit in their chests will not disperse, so they will cheat the corpse, you look at this old dog, it is estimated that the food, clothing, use, and hugging before death are innumerable, is there still a need for fraud?"
I directly picked up the sapper shovel three times and divided five by two, tore off the buffalo skin outside the coffin, and then pried it at the gap between the coffin board with the sapper shovel, and with a few crunks, most of the grooves and tenons were destroyed by me, and then the other grooves and tenons were destroyed. With the help of the big mouth, the first coffin board was set aside, revealing a light brown azusa coffin, which was the second coffin.
This is the first time I have dug someone's ancestral grave, and it stands to reason that I should feel confused and uneasy, but now I am indescribably happy and full of energy.
Maybe it's because we almost died in his hands before, and there is also the fact that this old dog did too many things before his death, so that Dazui and I feel that digging his ancestral grave is to take revenge and eliminate harm for the people, and the more we do it, the more energetic we become.
When the second coffin was pried open, the exciting moment finally arrived, only to see a yellow with a light green golden silk nanmu coffin appeared in front of our eyes, those flashing dream-like patterns of golden silk nanmu with a faint nanxiang with a stench of corpse gas wafted out, although we covered our mouths and noses, still felt nauseous.
The golden silk nan wood coffin is the best in the coffin, it can be said that it is difficult to buy, and it is said that this wood has become extinct. In ancient times, the golden silk nanmu belonged to the royal family, ordinary people don't even think about it, even if you dare to think that you can't afford to use it, the folk have a saying that a nanmu is a life, which shows the precious scarcity of the golden silk nanmu.
Golden silk nanmu has many advantages as a coffin, waterproof, ant-proof, nanxiang can also repel insects, and this kind of wood is warm in winter and cool in summer, which can keep the corpse from decaying for a longer time and has been drying.
The words that came out of my mouth were stunned for a while, as if listening to a book from heaven, in fact, I also learned it in the Tomb Robbery Sutra, and it happened to be useful today, so show it off in front of the big mouth.
Next, I motioned to the big mouth to find a piece of cloth to cover the mouth and nose, because the coffin is exquisite, and it cannot be messed around, the breath of the living cannot be transmitted to the dead, and the breath of the dead that is incorruptible for thousands of years cannot be inhaled by the living, otherwise it will be troublesome if we are poisoned by the corpse and have corpse spots, and we are not prepared to remove the glutinous rice from the corpse.
After everything was ready, I told the big mouth to let him stand behind me, after all, I have a hair mound mark on my body, even if I encounter something unclean, it will avoid me for seven points, I inserted the sapper shovel into the gap between the coffin boards of the golden silk nanmu, and pried it away, but there was no movement, it was really worthy of the eight-inch thick emperor's coffin.
Later, I changed several positions in a row before I was able to pry open a small crack, and as the coffin board continued to creak, the small gap became wider and wider, and finally the coffin board was wide open, revealing a black and red dried corpse, the color looked like dried meat, and the water was almost completely absorbed by the coffin.
The dry corpse is lying flat in the state of returning to the dragon, and it is still well preserved, the silver wire hook edge is in the clothes, the waist is tied with a hook, the joint of the ribbon, the white jade fish-shaped belt hook hangs down the waist, the face is collapsed, the nostrils are black to the sky, and the hands are placed in the lower dantian, it seems that the deceased was still a military general before his death......
"Hey, why don't you have a baby? Did we pounce on it? Big Mouth poked his head out boldly, and asked in surprise, his face was gray, and he had worked hard all the way, if he really didn't have some gains, then he wouldn't have to drive Big Mouth crazy.
I inevitably explained to him again, and I said, "The burial goods in the coffin cannot be placed casually, only in a few parts of the dead. For example, under the back and in the hands, under the back is the seven stars pad back money, seven in ancient times is a good number, the seven stars also symbolize the dragon, meaning that people can ascend to heaven after death, the poor man's seven stars back money is just a copper plate, and the rich, especially the eunuchs, their back money, basically all gold bars, gold nuggets. ”
I patiently told him that the most valuable burial goods are in the mouth of the deceased, which is called Dingyan Pearl, and people want to stay young forever after death, so Dingyan Pearls are generally made of excellent fine jade or gemstones.
Saying this, the big mouth's face began to be exciting, and before I could speak, I had already come to the lower position of the corpse, picked up the shoes with *, and reached out to grab two pieces of jade pendants. I sighed impatiently: "It turns out that people can change in the face of money, and the Lord who usually doesn't even dare to walk at night has distorted human nature in the face of money."
I saw that the big mouth at this time was like crazy, and the head of the corpse was directly pried out of the mouth with a sapper shovel, and a colorless bead rolled down and grabbed it unceremoniously.
I'm going to do it quickly, and if I let the big mouth go on like this, I'm sure I'll be left with a bunch of rotten bones and sticks in a while. I picked open the corpse's two hands with *, each holding a red bead, I didn't have time to look closely, I grabbed it out and stuffed it in my pocket, and then I stared at the fish-shaped hook on the corpse's waist, this thing is far from being comparable to gold and silver, it can be said that gold and silver are like dung in front of it.
The baby on the bright face is basically clean, only the seven stars under the body are left to carry the money, and when I was about to move the corpse, I saw that the big mouth had reached out and grabbed the two leg bones of the corpse.
"Let's feed the fish"
Then there was a pop, and then there was a rustling sound from under the altar, and the piranha moved wildly.
I secretly said that this guy with a big mouth is a bit detrimental to yin morality, and he is also the dead, how can he throw it away like throwing garbage, but then again, the old dog can have today's end, and it is also his previous life that caused him to have today's effect, which is called the causal cycle.
At this time, I couldn't care so much, so I looked down at the bottom of the coffin, and the seven golden round coins were spread out in the form of the Big Dipper, and then I bent down and took them all into my pocket, and the big mouth at this time was also happy.
I saw that the light of the flashlight was getting dimmer and dimmer, and it was time to go out.
