Chapter 483: Ghost Blows Out the Lantern (1)

The light of the fire fold burning was very limited, Cha Wenbin was lying on the roof, and could only vaguely see the four coffins hanging side by side, one of them was probably because he kicked the stone slabs indiscriminately, and shook slightly, and the friction sound between the hemp rope and the wooden beam "squeak, squeak", the sound was very strange in this kind of place.

Cha Wenbin leaned his body against the wooden beam, he stared at the shaking coffin, and pressed his seven-star sword with one hand. This sword has long been one with other people's swords, can recognize evil things, and will tremble when it encounters dirty things to warn, but now it is quiet like a sleeping child.

The light of the fire break was still too faint, and there were still a few cold fireworks in his bag, which Chaozi asked for from Liu Ye's people, and gave them to Cha Wenbin before leaving. Cha Wenbin's eyesight is better than ordinary people at night, but the room is completely dark, and even the few coffins he saw were vaguely hidden in a black fog.

A cold firework was thrown into the room, and with a "snap", the fireworks smashed on one of the coffins, jumped and fell to the ground, faintly glowing white.

Cold fireworks have a wide range of illumination, and this kind of thing is generally used for cave exploration, and its effect is somewhat similar to that of a flashing light. The color temperature is high, but it doesn't last long. With this light, this small room was in full view of Cha Wenbin, who was squatting on the roof.

There was nothing in the room except the four hanging coffins, not even an offering table, and it was very simple. The room was already small, and he was on top again, and he glanced back and forth a few times to make sure. Cha Wenbin thought to himself, since this is the case, then I will go down and take a look, it is naturally not a good thing that this coffin is hanging.

Since ancient times, the Chinese have paid attention to entering the soil for safety, from the princes and generals to the common people, and people will be particular about putting coffins into the soil after death. No matter how luxurious your tomb is, no matter how high-grade the coffin is, it must be placed on the soil, just like the flat-headed people wrapped in straw mats.

The earth, the five elements are in the middle, the color is yellow, and it has always been in the center of the direction. Even if it is a tomb with marble and gold, its main coffin must be placed on the earth, this is the rule. If this coffin does not connect to the earth, then the deceased will not be able to connect to the earth, and if it cannot be grounded, it will not be able to enter reincarnation, and the ghost will become a wandering spirit, and it will not sleep well after death.

It is not that there is no coffin hanging like this, Cha Wenbin has dealt with it, and in China's funeral culture, the placement of the coffin is extremely particular. Hanging coffins generally mean that the head is not filled with good stubble, or it is intended to be retaliated against, such as those who want to raise the corpse or make trouble, this kind of coffin will generally be sealed by a Taoist priest or a warlock, and then take a chain or rope to catch it in the air.

The reason is also not to let the Lord here come into contact with the earth qi to prevent changes, and there is also an advantage of hanging high that the yang energy of the living person is not easy to be touched, according to yin and yang, the yang energy of people is sinking, and the yin energy is upward.

Cha Wenbin squatted on the beam and consciously did not think it was a bright and upright thing, the good thing buckled the wooden beam with both hands, and his body swung down, and the person hung down on the wooden beam. At this moment, his toes were only ten centimeters away from the coffin that was swaying slightly back and forth, and he could touch it if he leaned a little further down.

Cha Wenbin was wearing the square-toed cloth shoes used by Taoist priests, which were somewhat similar to the mille-feuille soles, but some Tengyun maps would be embroidered on them, and when this person hung down, he suddenly felt a cool air on his toes, and the hairs on his toes immediately stood up.

At this time, the seven-star sword hanging on his waist also trembled, and Cha Wenbin looked up at the beam he grabbed and thought that he was still holding it up. To open this kind of tomb, you must first remove the beam, and removing the beam means that the main bone of the beam is removed, and the momentum is half gone.

He hung there like this, and saw that the coffin at his feet began to shake so violently that it almost touched the tips of his toes several times, and somehow it began to increase.

Cha Wenbin is not a hairy little man who has just debuted, seeing that the cold fireworks on the ground are about to be extinguished, he simply loosens his hands and puts his feet towards the head of the coffin. He squatted down, picked up a Heavenly Master talisman from his arms with his right hand and pasted it towards the head of the coffin, and his left hand immediately grabbed the hemp rope that hung the coffin, and then jumped down, and he reached the ground without looking back.

When I looked up after I landed, the shaking coffin began to slowly decrease, and after a while, it regained its calm. Cha Wenbin rubbed his palm, which was red from the rope, and bent down to pick up the fire fold, and at this moment, the cold fireworks on the ground were extinguished.

A room that had been white suddenly fell into darkness again, and the moment he looked down, he seemed to see a figure flashing by on the opposite wall, and that speed was extremely fast.

"Who?" Cha Wenbin shouted, half of his voice was an instinctive reaction, and the other half was to embolden himself.

The air around him was quiet, and except for the occasional slip of the stone slab overhead, even his own heartbeat could be heard clearly. The light of the fire fold dances like a mung bean, too small and too inconspicuous, usually this fire fold can be lit like a candle, but now the flame is like a small wooden stick about to be extinguished, it looks very weak.

He remembered that there was a candle in his bag, and he took out a torch to light it, and after lighting the candle a few times, there was no response, and he used his hand to block it and barely raised the fire a little, and the candle was lit.

There was a hint of green in the light of the candle, and it was strange to be caught in the middle from the wick to the flame. This kind of fire can read information in the eyes of connoisseurs, and there is indeed dirt in the vicinity.

Candles were used for lighting in ancient times, and later both priests and priests would light candles, but with modern lighting, it is clear that this candle is not used to illuminate people. The biggest role of the candle is to light up those dirty things, and the other is that if you want to see ghosts, you can light a candle at night and go out, find a place where there is expected to be dirty things and put the candle in front of people's eyes, and keep your eyes on the burning fire, if you are lucky, you will see that the fire in the middle of the candle is green, then congratulations, you have seen a ghost.

Cha Wenbin was on guard, and he lit this candle to ask for directions.

There is an industry in China that robs tombs, except for crematoriums and doctors, there is probably no industry in the world that has more contact with the dead than this. I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, and I can meet ghosts when I walk at night, not to mention touching people's graves to dig out burial goods.

These tomb robbers named themselves Captain Touching Gold, in fact, they were self-appointed by the ugly word "thief", and in the earliest days, this work was done by some idle village hooligans, after all, it was not a worthy thing. However, since ancient times, China has paid attention to human death, especially the practice of thick burials of princes and nobles, so more and more people began to put their hands into the dark cemetery.

There are powerful people who directly send troops to rob tombs, such as Cao Cao, who has just started his army, and Wen Tao of the fifth generation, which are notorious, and they are to raise military salaries. And more are those two or three small groups of tomb robbers who are trying to make a living and making a fortune, saying that the tombs are buried in the ground, and after opening the robbery hole, many people have inexplicably never come up again, and the resentful ones have become a wild ghost to accompany the burial.

Before Li Yazi's Luoyang shovel became popular, more tomb robbers were from those feng shui experts, and in China, there is no one who knows feng shui better than Taoist priests.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao caught a Taoist priest who was proficient in Qimen Dunjia and feng shui astrological divination, named Zuo Ci. What is even more powerful about this Zuo Ci is that he got a "Dunjia Heavenly Book", which is said to be very good, and this book Cha Wenbin once speculated whether it was the "Ruyi Book". After Cao Cao caught this person, he knew that he had Taoist skills, so he imprisoned him for a year and did not give him food, and it is said that he was still the same when he got out of prison safely a year later, which surprised Cao Cao very much.

In order to raise military salaries, Cao Cao specially trained a secret army, which went out day and night, and robbed the tombs of royal nobles, and the leader was named the captain of the school. But there were too many strange things encountered, and the soldiers were lost, so he asked this Zuo Ci for help.

As a condition for his release, Zuo Ci left a sentence for this golden lieutenant that has been passed down to this day: "People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps!" ”

This means that to enter the tomb, you must first light a candle in the southeast corner before you can open the coffin, if the candle is extinguished, it means that the tomb cannot be stolen, and everything is dropped and exited. If the candle is still burning, then take some money, and burn incense and paper in return when you are done, because the dead cannot use the money, and it has to be burned by the living.

Cha Wenbin's candle is intended to be placed in the southeast corner, and he has only one purpose: to open the coffin!
