Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, our Wang family has been a very secret "Qiaoshanke" family in the inverted fighting world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info uses the coffin shop as a gimmick in daily life, but secretly robs the tomb like a dragon. The Qiaoshanke is different from other tomb robbers, such as the northern faction of the Golden Captain mainly uses the wind to distinguish the weather, and uses the I Ching as a reference to find the dragon point, while the reason why the southern faction of the Tufuzi is called Tufuzi is that a group of excavators summed up their experience, and they distinguish whether there are tombs underground by the color and humidity of the soil. The so-called Qiaoshanke, mainly to make coffins and burial etiquette as the leading, in fact, secretly is looking for the dragon to find treasure, and the previous generations of the Wang family have been engaged in this special profession, Qiao: refers to the meaning of lifting, lifting, mountain: refers to the prince and noble, guest: chivalrous, the word Qiaoshan Ke comes from this.
The ancestors of the Wang family made a fortune from helping the royal family surnamed Zhu to make coffins and became famous, which has been continued, is for the royal craftsmen, due to the participation in the construction of the royal cemetery, the ancestors of the Wang family slowly accumulated a lot of experience from different periods of dynasties, and at the same time used the convenience of their own identity to get a lot, a large amount of information about the tomb address of the Huangling of each dynasty came from this, in the era of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor was, god-like existence, they must do their best for their own mausoleum, When the ancestors of the royal family proposed to build a hundred years after the emperor returned, his body would not be stained by dust. And when it comes to collecting all the coffins of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the emperor will basically not object. , in fact, he was secretly looking for a dragon and looking for treasure, and before that, the Wang family had been engaged in this special profession for several generations, and after many generations, he sorted out a book called "Coffin Mingjian".
In my grandfather's generation, there are a total of four brothers, the grandfather's ranking eldest is named Wang Xuefeng, the second, third and fourth masters are called Wang Xueyu, Wang Xuelei, Wang Xuedian, taken from the wind and rain thunder and lightning.
And my name is Wang Wu, Wu is taken from the Golden Crow, the legend says that the Golden Crow is a three-legged divine bird also called the Sun God Bird, symbolizing the meaning of the sun.
Looking at the mini white jade coffin in my hand, I don't know why my heart is very uncomfortable, recalling the things recorded by the second master in {Coffin Mingjian}, and this white jade coffin is the second master on the day of the accident from the grandfather in the original forest of Chang'an County to the second master brought out, I heard the family say that the second master walked out of the primeval forest alone Soon after fainting in a small farm yard, the second master was covered in blood, the dog in the farmer's yard barked more than once, the farmer in the family heard the dog barking out, and saw the second master who fell in a pool of blood was scared half to death, Called a few young and strong men overnight and sent him to the local county hospital, after which the hospital contacted the family, and after the family rushed over, it took more than ten days to rescue the second master. When the second master woke up, he didn't say anything, just lying quietly on the hospital bed looking at the ceiling, sometimes sad and sometimes remorseful in his eyes.
The second master recuperated in the hospital for more than half a year, and the family asked many times during this period, and the second master didn't say a word, and the family suspected that it was too seriously injured and broke his head, and the doctor said that he seemed to have been stimulated by something, and he couldn't react for a while, nothing serious, and he got better slowly.
When the second grandfather was discharged from the hospital, the first thing he did was to arrange the business in the shop, and then he found me directly, and after giving me the coffin, he didn't say anything, and left alone to this day.
I wondered why the second master wanted to hand over this thing to me, and in the coffin Mingjian, there was no record of what happened to them in the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty 40 years ago, nor did they leave any information about my grandfather and the third master, the fourth master, the cognition of the four grandfathers is only limited to childhood memories and the short introduction in the coffin Mingjian, "After the third master entered the tomb and separated from his grandfather, did he finally escape, if he did, why didn't he come to me" I muttered to myself, I smiled bitterly and thought, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, if the third master can come out, he may have come back a long time ago, the third master is a person who cares about the family, and he won't leave his family alone" and the book just briefly described that they all died that day, from forty years ago to today, it has been forty years, after the second master disappeared, the family was not able to find the second master because of the relationship on the road, and I still remember the day the second master left, there was an indescribable weirdness, yes, it was weird, It seems to have become very strange The second master has always been a gentle and elegant person in my heart, and the last time I saw the second master, his expression was not sadness, but hatred, I don't know why I thought of this word, why it is hatred, I have been puzzled in my heart, tomb robbery belongs to the days on the tip of the knife, for grandfathers, they themselves often say that "dying in the tomb is their best belonging". Dying in a tomb is nothing to regret.
"Why does the second master have hatred, is the second master hating himself, but it doesn't make sense," he shook his head, wanting to shake off his incomparably complicated and helpless thoughts, and slowly rubbed some yellowed coffin Mingjian with his left hand. Sitting in front of the desk that my grandfather once used, I felt a little depressed in a space of less than 15 square meters, the dim light from the old desk lamp on the desk, the tiny dust particles in the air were unscrupulously free, it was very dark around, and the light source at the only desk seemed extremely strange and cold.
I pinched my brows, slowly lit a cigarette, and gradually in the small space, the fireworks of the cigarette butt flickered, and I took a leisurely breath, and suddenly white smoke filled the air, like fog gradually disappearing into the air from my mouth. The smoke inhaled into the lungs stimulated the feeling of drowsiness just now, and the mind began to slowly sober up, and opened the old and even somewhat dilapidated second drawer, the desk was made of hemlock wood very deeply, quack.... Quack, there was a rattling sound like an old ox pulling a cart, and he took out a lump of things wrapped in a black oilcloth, and after removing the oilcloth, he saw a square white jade coffin made of white jade. Weigh it, touch the unicorn auspicious cloud map carved on it, want to find out the mystery, the jade coffin is 25 cm long, 7 cm wide, 5 cm high, the whole is Xinjiang Hetian sheep fat jade, transparent and bright, the two sides of the coffin body are engraved with the unicorn stepping cloud map, and the bottom of the jade coffin is engraved with four oracle bone inscriptions "Zhou Yougong Yan". The coffin lid records the life deeds of the owner of this coffin, which is extremely brief, Zhou Yougong refers to a king in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ji name Gong Xiang, the son of King Xuan of Zhou.
There is a little bit on the Qilin Xiangyun coffin, which is particularly peculiar, according to past experience, many princes and nobles have this kind of small jade coffin in the coffin, but generally speaking, such a small coffin can be opened, and there are things that they think are the most important in their lifetimes, but the Qilin Xiangyun coffin in my hand seems to be carved from a whole piece of jade and cannot find any gaps. After getting the unicorn coffin before, I tried a lot of ways to get this open, but they all failed. I was very depressed and carefully looked at this little jade coffin, I still couldn't see anything famous, and I didn't have any mind to fiddle with it, I looked at it for a long time, my eyes were a little sour, I touched my eyes, leaned on the old wooden chair and wanted to sort out my thoughts, and after a long time, I still didn't have a clue, and I smiled bitterly when I thought about it, "Even the second master they can't solve the matter, I don't even have a tomb under the second green head, do it here and think blindly, what can I come up with."
I was just about to get up and tidy up, and returned to my home in Qingshan, Wuhan, when I looked up, I saw a pair of dark eyes staring at me outside the old rusty glass window on the left side of the desk, and suddenly a chill hit, and the lazy mood just now was swept away, and I didn't have time to think about it, "who"?
I shouted loudly, stood up, my heart was full of fear, in the middle of the night, who was staring at me outside the window, I stared at the eyes stuck to the window, and my heart was quickly calculating what to do next, suddenly thought of a question, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "I... I,,I'm fucking on the second floor.,The second master's house is an old Chinese-style building.,The windows on the second floor are full of smooth red brick walls.,There's no place to stand outside" After thinking of this logic, the cold sweat has soaked the backup, and this psychological feeling only lasted for a few seconds, I calmed down, thinking, "The master is not scared, if this little thief is caught, he will definitely be beaten" Thinking of this, after calming down, he picked it up casually, and the chair next to the desk walked vigilantly to the window on the side,Close to the window,The eyes on the gray glass can see more clearly.,Just want to scream and throw the chair out in your hand.,Suddenly I found that the mouth under the eyes showed a weird smile.,Staring at me.,
"Laugh, laugh what laugh, you, you, who are you, what do you want to do" I said angrily, and also pretended to be bold, and only half of the words were spoken, the eyes that had just looked at me suddenly disappeared, as if they had never been here, I stared at the window tightly, after half a ring, it seemed that nothing had happened, I picked up the hanger on the side and opened the window, slowly approached the window, looked around with my peripheral vision, everything was terriblely quiet, and I found nothing.
