Chapter 55: Into the Mountains to Find Ghosts

When Zhao Ergou was buried in a coffin, although twelve years have passed, the craftsman Zhang still remembers it very clearly, even if he thinks about it at this moment, he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with this matter.

At that time, it was also in the middle of the night, Zhao Ergou knocked on the door of the coffin shop and spent a lot of money to ask the craftsman Zhang to make a joint burial coffin, saying that it was to build a tomb for his wife and children who died tragically, and the wood had been prepared.

Craftsman Zhang was naturally happy to agree, and the money he earned from making that coffin was enough for him to spend a year, not to mention making a coffin for the poor mother and son, which was also a merit.

can make a lot of money, the craftsman Zhang is full of energy, in less than three days, he will do the coffin that Zhao Ergou needs, Zhao Ergou sent someone to come in the middle of the night to pull it away, and the craftsman Zhang didn't ask again, as for where Zhao Ergou wants to build the clothes mound, it has nothing to do with him at all.

This matter is very secretive, after all, if the villagers know, this mound will not be built, and if it is done blatantly, it will be wrong.

After listening to this, Gailu asked, "What kind of material is the coffin made of?" ”

"I don't know!" Craftsman Zhang replied quickly, and then opened a drawer, took out a piece of wood and handed it to Gailu, just because he had never seen the wood provided by Zhao Ergou at that time, because he was curious, he left a piece, and planned to find someone to ask in the future, but then he forgot about it.

At this time, the craftsman Zhang also felt that this matter was very strange, Zhao Ergou wanted to build a mound for his wife and children, which was understandable, but it was a bit abnormal to provide mysterious wood, and there was also a point, which was even more weird: "After making the coffin, there was not much wood left, but it was taken away by Zhao Ergou's people, and even the sawdust was swept away, and he threw me ten taels of silver, saying that he bought those sawdust, which is too generous!" ”

Gai Lu took the piece of wood and looked at it under the lamp, and said lightly: "Only by being generous can we clear the clues." ”

Craftsman Zhang had been completely involved in this matter, and he was very interested in it, and even forgot about the fact that he was entangled by a powerful ghost, sat opposite Gai Lu, and asked, "Master Gaitian, do you know what kind of wood this is?" ”

Gai Lu said in a low voice: "This is a kind of jujube wood produced in the Western Regions, which can repel hundreds of insects, and if it is used to make a coffin, it is said to be able to ......."

Craftsman Zhang couldn't wait to ask: "What can it be?" ”

"Split the soul!"

Gai Lu coldly spit out two words, and the craftsman Zhang trembled when he heard it, just a gust of wind blew in through the window, blowing the candle flame dimly, and the craftsman Zhang's whole body stood up.

The craftsman opened his mouth a few times and asked in shock, "Can you really divide the soul?" ”

Gai Lu said: "Since ancient times, there have been many evil heavenly masters who have been trying, if you want to split the soul, you have to make a soul splitting coffin first, but no matter what, the coffin that Zhao Ergou asked you to make is definitely not to build a clothed tomb." ”

The craftsman was dumbfounded, he never thought that making a coffin would do so many things, if it weren't for the Heaven Master coming here, even if he wasn't bitten to death by zombies, he would have to be haunted by ghosts.

Looking at the coffin record again, there is nothing strange about it, and his intuition tells Gai Lu that the craftsman Zhang is haunted by ghosts, which is very likely to be related to the soul coffin, of course, the craftsman Zhang made it is not the soul coffin, but the coffin must be used as a soul split.

Gai Lu thought and said: "The ghost did not go up to you, but only left clear marks on your body, probably trying to attract the attention of the world through you, tonight you think about the desolate places you have been to recently, and when you think of it, you will come to Zhao's house to find me." ”

Before leaving, the craftsman Zhang was so frightened that he trembled, and Gai Lu couldn't bear it, after all, the craftsman Zhang's nature was not bad, so he took out a ghost charm and let the craftsman Zhang wear it with him, so that he could keep safe.

The craftsman Zhang folded the ghost charm, wrapped it in oiled paper and hung it around his neck, lay on the bed, and fell asleep.

Back at Zhao's house, Hua Wu and Wu Chang slept like dead pigs, fortunately, the coffin in the courtyard was not destroyed, Gai Lu sat next to the coffin, chatting with the female ghost almost until dawn, and did not get useful information.

Gailu tried his best, but he couldn't persuade the female ghost, if the female ghost took three children to reincarnate, this was the best result, but the female ghost was too obsessed, so she could only go with her.

Early in the morning, Zhao Ergou came over in person and invited the three of them to eat, the breakfast was very rich, a few people only cared about eating, no one mentioned last night's incident, Zhao Ergou was even more happy, as long as he could temporarily stabilize Gailu and others, it would be a success.

But at this moment, the craftsman Zhang suddenly broke in, and as soon as he saw Gai Lu, he immediately said: "Gai Tianshi, I thought of it, I thought of it!" ”

Gai Lu made a silent gesture, and the craftsman Zhang immediately covered his mouth with his hand, and subconsciously glanced at Zhao Ergou, who was holding a wine glass with a calm expression, and was extremely disdainful of people like the craftsman Zhang.

As soon as she heard that Gai Lu was going to go out with the craftsman, Hua Wu didn't do it, she had to follow, Gai Lu asked her to guard the coffin well, but she said that nothing could happen in broad daylight, not to mention that Wu Chang was guarding, Gai Lu couldn't help it, and thought that it might be useful to take her with her.

Walking out of Zhao's house, the craftsman Zhang Cai whispered: "Master Gaitian, I thought about it when I woke up in the morning, a few days ago, I went to the back mountain, in order to cut a few hundred-year-old pines, but I went too deep, in a mountain stream, I found a cave, the hole is very deep, I walked in not long ago, I was scared and ran back." ”

In addition to going into the mountain to cut down trees this time, in the past two years, the craftsman Zhang has not left the village, so he was marked by a ghost, which must be related to the cave, and immediately under the leadership of the craftsman Zhang, he entered the back mountain of Xiashui Village.

The back mountain of Xiashui Village is back, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, lush, there are many wild things in the mountain, there are many hunters, they live at the foot of the mountain, and make a living by hunting, but the back mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, there are often tiger roars in the deep mountains, and there are more spirits infested, and the villagers generally dare not go deeper.

The mountain stream is not in the deep mountains, but because of the dense ancient trees and thorns, it looks ghostly from a distance, and there is a rift valley in the middle, if the hunter's brain is not pumped, no one wants to go there to hunt, the denser the thorns, the less prey, but the more poisonous snakes and insects.

Standing on the opposite side of the rift valley and looking at the past, the ancient trees cover the sky and the sun, and you can't see the mountain stream at all, and you can understand why the craftsman Zhang wants to go there to cut down the trees, those ancient pines are undoubtedly the best wood for making coffins.

And Hua Wu is holding the dragon search trick, constantly tinkering, and chirping: "Oops, oops, what a good place!" ”

Gailu teased: "When you die, bury it here!" ”

Hua Wu didn't care, and grinned: "The old lady has this intention." ”

Crossing the rift, is the difficult thorn bush, the craftsman Zhang took the mountain knife, in front of the road, nearly noon, they finally came to the mountain stream, because it is not the rainy season, the stream is very shallow, and the craftsman Zhang said that the cave, not far away, sure enough, the yin qi surges, there must be dirty things in the hole.
