Chapter 44: The Empty Grave

The digging of the grave began as soon as it was after zero morning, and there was silence around it, and the team of three lattes, under the leadership of the second son's father, began to dig from the perimeter of the grave, because they had not been here for a long time, and the weeds had already wrapped up the whole grave, especially those snakeheads, and when they were torn off, several people were scratched. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When the weeds and all that were cleaned up, a grave bag was presented in front of everyone, because it was an old grave, so the soil on the ground was solidified, and in the hardest place, the shovel was shoveled into the soil like a stone, and there was a sound of metal colliding.

But after all, there were a lot of people in the three groups, and soon, the graves on the ground were bulldozed, and the next step was to dig the graves. At this time, the grandmother asked everyone to retreat, she took out three sticks of incense from the cloth bag she carried, and then took out a bowl from the bag, put five grains in the bowl, put the incense in the bowl, and then put the bowl in front of the grave, and she herself sat down cross-legged, facing the three sticks of incense, and muttered something in her mouth.

When Grandma Tai reads a place, she stops, as if she is asking something, and then Grandma will answer, but we can't understand what she says, just like the words of a singing opera.

When they got it done, let the second son father take someone to start digging the grave, and the bowl in front of the grave was still burning incense, and the grandmother said that no one was allowed to extinguish the incense, if you saw the incense extinguished by itself in the process of digging, everyone should not look back, just run to the east, west, north and south, because these four places are guarded, so there can also be a care.

The soil below the ground was much softer, and everyone dug up the grave little by little as if they were digging a pit and planting trees, until the coffin in the grave appeared, and then they stopped to listen to Grandma's orders.

As soon as the black coffin was dug up, everyone was shocked, because although the coffin was no different from the usual one, there were three iron hoops on the coffin, and the deep places were embedded in the coffin, as if it was about to be tied tightly. However, everyone can also imagine that Lin Xiu was wrongfully killed, and after his death, he came to seek revenge, so he must have done the Dharma before he was pretended, for fear of future trouble.

If you want to see the format of this coffin, Lin Xiucai will not be alive after death, these three hoops are so tight, how can he let him come out of it? But everyone wonders, so why does the compass pointer point here?

The answer to everything should not be known until the coffin is opened. Before asking everyone to open the coffin, for safety reasons, Grandma Tai took out the compass again and began to measure it around the coffin.

As soon as the compass was opened, before the needle could be flattened, the red pointer began to rotate, and then suddenly pointed to Lin Xiucai's coffin. This surprised Grandma Tai even more, because she had never seen such a strange opening pattern, and there must be something in it.

The more she thought about it, the more Grandma Tai had a feeling that she didn't dare to slack off, so she made it clear to everyone the information that she would run away when she saw the incense. All that remains is to dig up the grave again and open the coffin.

The grave has been dug up completely, and there is no luxurious scene, let alone an exquisite burial, just a black wooden coffin with three iron hoops in the grave bag. It's good that you can work with peace of mind without those bits and pieces, because this happens all the time, because there are too many things in the grave and they are too good, and it causes a vicious cycle of cannibalism. Aren't the two corpses you saw on the first floor of the "Nine Heavens Xuanming" Tower just now like that?

Seeing that the incense in the bowl was still burning, Grandma Tai asked the second son to bring a few strong villagers who were young and middle-aged to open the coffin. This opening of the coffin is different from digging a grave, and all kinds of scenes may appear at the moment of opening the coffin, so Grandma Tai added one hundred and twenty cautions, for fear that there would be any mistakes.

The second son's father pried all kinds of tools, but he didn't open the three iron hoops. What can I do? Grandma Tai suddenly remembered that she didn't still have a "floating" short knife, why not use it here.

So Grandma Tai came to the coffin and pulled out the floating knife from her arms. The blade of the knife is upward, just a slight pick with the tip of the knife, and the first hoop is easily picked open by the knife, and this time, everyone has regained some confidence.

Immediately after two knives, the other two iron hoops were also picked up. But at this time, the coffin should still remain intact, under normal circumstances, before the coffin is opened, it is necessary to say a few words to the owner of the coffin, one is to show respect, and the other is to explain that the coffin is to be opened, which will disturb the sleeping soul. But this time, Grandma Tai didn't do this, but let the unmarried half-grown children spit around the coffin.

Grandma explained that in this way, using the innate masculinity of the young men to surround the yin and evil qi can block the evil qi when the coffin is opened.

Now the young men came to the momentum, and they spat around the coffin, and soon a circle of spit surrounded the black wooden coffin. Grandma Tai looked at the sky again, and when the big star first rose, she asked the village chief to be in the south, the second son and father in the north, and the little five in the west, and opened the coffin lid at the same time.

After a squeaky sound, the coffin lid was moved, and the surrounding people stared intently at every move in the coffin, and Grandma Tai and Grandma observed the changes inside and outside the coffin with solemn expressions.

The lid of the coffin was removed, and the inside of the coffin was unobstructed, and the first thing that caught my eye was a stack of books in the front and back of the coffin, and then there were four treasures of the study on both sides of the coffin, and the bottom was a cover or something, but the corpse that everyone wanted to see was gone. At that time, everyone was still wondering if there was only a white bone left in it after so many years, maybe the head had already been separated from the body, or maybe it had already rotted like mud, but who would have thought that the books were so well preserved, those books seemed to be often read, and the ink and ink were like someone had just painted here, giving people a strange feeling.

Is it an empty tomb, this is impossible, everyone in the village knows who these tombs are, especially this one, there are more rumors, besides, the descendants of the old king's family also said that the tomb is buried in Lin Xiucai, there will be no mistake.

Is it rotten, gone, not right, if people are rotten, how can those books be like new? It shows that it is very dry, and since the books can be preserved, it is impossible for people to have no trace at all.

Everyone sighed for a while, talking about something with each other. Grandma and Grandma were also watching around the coffin, they wanted to find the reason why there was no one here, but the fact was that this was indeed an empty mound with no one.

Grandma Tai took out the compass again and continued to measure the yin and yang here. This time, the needle of the compass was even stranger, not only did it point to the coffin all the time, but it also pressed it down vigorously, as if it were pointing downward.

"Isn't it under that coffin?" I whispered, in fact, my heart is about to jump out now, this is also too terrifying, it is really incredible to open a coffin that has been hundreds of years old at night, and to find the changes inside.

Grandma Tai glanced at me, looked at her again, as if she was praising and thinking, nodded to me, and then called the village chief, the second son's father, and Xiao Wu together to talk about what to do next.

Grandma Tai said: "This compass has followed me for many years, and it has also been handed down by my ancestors, so it will not make mistakes, but it pressed the pointer down its head again, just like Liangzi guessed just now, is there a problem under this coffin?" ”

"Liangzi guessed right, I see that the compass refers to the bottom of this coffin, my father once told me that this compass can not only point to the east and west, north and south, but also to the top and bottom, which can change at any time with yin and yang." Xiao Wu said.

Xiao Wu's statement is also well-founded, that Zhang Yushan has been studying those gossip and I Ching or something all the year round, the compass was common when Xiao Wu was very young, and he also knew how to use it, and he also agreed with me in the current situation.

Since everyone thinks that there is a problem under the coffin, then let's take a thorough look at this coffin. Grandma's proposal was also recognized by everyone.

The grave diggers in the three groups were already very tired, and this time the task of carrying the coffin out was left to the one who carried the rope and the incense, and of course a few messengers and those who were still strong.

So everyone jumped into the pit, and each moved the black wooden coffin, and moved it upwards together, and there were also people on it who were helping to move the coffin out together. At this moment, I saw that the incense in front of the grave gradually seemed to be extinguished, and only a little spark remained. I immediately reminded Grandma Tai, Grandma also noticed this change, but this time is the time to carry the coffin out of the pit, since the incense is extinguished, there is no way to let everyone come out, so Grandma Tai took two steps forward, and also held the edge of the coffin, just suddenly, everyone felt that the coffin seemed to be a lot lighter, there were legs and feet, jumped on the edge of the pit, and found that Grandma Tai was trying to help everyone carry the coffin. This is really incomparable, an eighty or ninety-year-old man can exert such a great force only at once, isn't there a way, what is it? Later, after I learned kung fu and the Fa, I realized that this kind of kung fu not only requires methods, but also requires a lot of hard practice.

With everyone's joint efforts, the black wooden coffin was removed from the tomb, and everyone didn't have time to move their hands and feet, and looked into the grave together.

I saw that at the bottom of the coffin pit there was a pair of big hollow eyes looking at people, and his hand, or rather his claw, had already grasped the foot and neck of a person who had not yet come out of the pit, and instantly embedded the white hand in the flesh of the man, and the man had no time to speak, and even fainted in fright.

Looking at the bowl in front of the grave, only one of the three incense sticks was left with a little spark, and the remaining two were broken in the middle, and the grandmother was so fast that she immediately took out three more incense sticks and made up for them in the bowl, but at this time, the things in the pit were about to crawl out of the pit.
