Chapter 4: The Strange Black Coffin
Liu Xiaoge finally walked out of the bathroom with a frown after almost rubbing off a layer of skin. He was very reluctant to recall the unfortunate thing that happened not long ago, it was estimated that according to the little monkey, it was in the coffin of the Qing Dynasty, and the burial was not according to the normal funeral strange burial bones. Instead, a pile of broken bones that I didn't know where to pick up were hastily thrown inside, and the bones looked very old.
This coffin during the Qing Dynasty actually buried a pile of ancient human bones, and it was not buried well according to custom. And the location of the coffin is also very problematic, according to Feng Shui, that place is not a very good Feng Shui point.
Although it was late at that time, Liu Xiaoge didn't take a closer look, but from the perspective of his subconscious research on the secret art of feng shui, the yin house pays attention to the left green dragon, the right white tiger, there are mountains and waters, but the location is empty left and right, and the cliff in front is obviously not suitable for burying people.
Just when Liu Xiaoge was thinking hard and couldn't figure it out, there was a series of hurried knocks at the door. A crisp voice came from the door: "Liu Xiaoge, you are not there, if you are there, squeak." When Liu Xiaoge heard Li Xinwen's voice, he answered the door and opened the door.
It was not Li Xinwen who squeezed in first, but Professor Li who walked in first with a cane, and he glanced at the little monkey who was lying on the bed and was about to sleep. Professor Li urged in a hurried tone: "Don't rub it off, hurry up and pack your things and go with me." What Professor Li said was inexplicable, and Liu Xiaoge was a little foggy when he heard it.
Just as he was about to ask, Professor Li interrupted first: "If there is anything to ask, I will talk on the way, now is not the time to speak." Looking at Professor Li's serious expression, the little monkey and I looked at each other. You have a big face, and the two of us haven't graduated yet, if you lose Professor Li's face at this time, you may not know how many small shoes to wear when you go back.
The scene suddenly became dull, and the little monkey and I lowered our heads and packed up our things. Walking out of the door, Professor Li led the way, don't look at this old ghost limping, he is quite quick to do things. The two of us walked with all our strength to barely be accepted, and when we walked out of the hotel, Professor Li himself got into an off-road vehicle that had stopped and waited in front of the door, because it was midnight, and it was just a village, and the lighting facilities were still relatively rudimentary.
Liu Xiaoge and the little monkey were pulled into the car in a daze, and the driver was a little surprised when he saw our first expression, but he didn't ask too much. As the car started, Liu Xiaoge and the little monkey inexplicably seemed to be on a thief ship. Liu Xiaoge, who was still a little sleepy, was bumped by the car, although his dizziness was a little uncomfortable, but the sleepiness dissipated all of a sudden, leaving only his mind full of cranky thoughts.
The cabin was very quiet, except for the roar of the engine and a few gasps. Liu Xiaoge couldn't stand the torture of such a dull atmosphere and chaotic thoughts, and finally opened his mouth and said, "Eh, that, what, Professor Li, where are we going?" Professor Li turned his head to look at Liu Xiaoge, in the dim light, Liu Xiaoge couldn't see Professor Li's expression clearly, but Liu Xiaoge's fortune-telling skills for many years were not practiced in vain, even if he couldn't see his expression, he could guess some of them.
However, at this moment, Liu Xiaoge couldn't guess the old man in front of him, and sure enough, he responded to what his grandfather said to him before, scholars are the most difficult to deal with, these people have weird habits, and most of them don't work against ordinary people. The silence lasted for half a minute, and Professor Li said in a hoarse voice: "I can't tell you where to go now, I didn't plan to pull you into the gang, but now, you may also be targeted." If you are left to your own devices, I am afraid that you will encounter some danger. ”
The little monkey would interject: "That Professor Li, aren't you from the archaeological team?" Is there any underworld that you are still in? Although there are quite a lot of underworld associations in Fujian, after all, it is still a society under the rule of law, and as long as they call the police, these people will definitely not dare to mess around. Professor Li suddenly laughed dryly and said, "If it's an underworld, do you think we need to be so cautious?" It is not terrible to know who the enemy is, but it is afraid not to know who the enemy is. After speaking, he looked out of the dark car window with deep eyes, looking preoccupied.
I finally understood what Professor Li meant, and I was really unlucky, and I knew that it would definitely not be a good thing to go out and encounter a coffin. Sure enough, he was inexplicably involved in some mysterious incident, Liu Xiaoge is a person with a somewhat contradictory personality, and after understanding his situation at the moment, he calmed down, and there was a little excitement in it.
Since he was a child, he had heard his grandfather talk a lot about gods and ghosts, which planted a seed in his young heart that he had the courage to explore the mysterious world. Now this seed seems to have finally found the soil suitable for him to grow after more than 20 years of turbulence, and began to take root for the first time.
Seeing that Professor Li fell into silence, Li Xinwen on the side suddenly spoke: "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous, it's nothing serious. Do you remember the black wooden coffin and the strange cliff carvings you crushed in the evening? "It's okay not to mention it, as soon as he mentions the black wooden coffin, Liu Xiaoge feels a squirm in his throat, and a stream of sour water gushes up, not to mention how disgusting it feels to fall into the pile of corpses.
However, at this moment, in front of his favorite object, Liu Xiaoge still needs to maintain his image, strive to suppress the feeling of disgust, and look at Li Xinwen with an attitude of humbly seeking advice. Li Xinwen saw that Liu Xiaoge was quite acquainted and continued: "Actually, that coffin is strange, you are a person who has been a Taoist priest, and you know a little bit about feng shui." ”
When it came to feng shui, Liu Xiaoge's heart once again rose with a sense of pride, and he wanted to show off. So he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Li Xuemei, since I talked about this feng shui, then I, Liu Xiaoge, must not say a few words." It's not that I'm bragging, my family has been a Taoist priest for generations, and I still have some opinions on this technique of dividing gold and fixing acupoints. Although my generation is a bit declining, I still know a little bit about feng shui compared to ordinary people. ”
The little monkey also said at this time: "Yes, the little brother's feng shui is not bragging. It's really powerful, I just took a big deal......" Liu Xiaoge covered the little monkey's mouth and didn't let him continue. This thing is not a glorious thing, and it really does not fit as a bragga.
Li Xinwen heard that a glimmer of light flashed between her eyebrows, and suddenly smiled slightly: "It seems that Senior Liu is also very human, then Senior Sister, I will ask Senior Liu some things about this feng shui technique." According to a book I have read in the Chronicles of Putian County, Fujian, there is a record of Fujian folk tomb customs:
Choose a place to bury relatives in order to seek blessings, and there are many things that bury bones and steal bones for profit. The road is more expensive than Tongli, and it is built on the beach, thinking that it hurts the earth's veins and ......, and the house is suitable for high dryness, but it is the outer high and high recess for gathering qi, and it is also a happy land for depression (low humid land). ”
When Liu Xiaoge heard this, he knew that Li Xinwen was testing him. So I was going to interpret this sentence in detail, and suddenly this interpretation immediately found that something was wrong. The section of the road where I encountered the mudslide and the direction of the mountains next to it are very inconsistent with the feng shui level suitable for burial in the county annals.
First of all, the burial of relatives is mainly to pray for the blessing of future generations, which is similar in almost all places. It is built with beach stones, which hurts the leylines of the earth, imprisons itself, and is the most disliked burial place for Fujian people. On the contrary, they like to choose a place with higher terrain and dry after qi, thinking that this kind of place is a good acupuncture point for Tibetan Feng to gather qi.
Although this point is slightly different from the feng shui positioning in other places in terms of details, it is also very similar. In the place encountered today, the terrain first chose the lower half of the mountainside, which is very inconsistent with this requirement. And I didn't see any supporting facilities for the tomb, such as tombstones, simple sealing. The scattered, messy bones in the combined coffin.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoge chuckled in his heart, and seeing that Liu Xiaoge's face changed, Li Xinwen asked curiously, "Senior Liu, what did you think of?" Hurry up and say it, let me know for a long time. Liu Xiaoge said solemnly: "I don't dare to think of anything, but there are a lot of strange things." If the county chronicle you are talking about is true and credible, then this coffin may not be a tomb. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoge paused, because at this time he suddenly had a bold idea. So he continued: "First of all, there is a long difference between the age of the coffin and the age of the bones, if it is the continuous migration of the ancestral tomb that causes such a situation, the bones must be placed neatly, and the bones in this coffin are extremely messy, which is one of the doubts.
The second suspicion is that the construction of the beach stone hurts the earth's veins, and the purpose is to imprison the things in the coffin. So the special choice to be buried on the cliff stone carvings is intentionally or unintentionally in line with this meaning. In addition, its location is also very inconsistent with Feng Shui suitable for the location of the tomb, Fujian has many mountains and water, and the acupuncture points are not difficult to find, and such a place will not be chosen in any way. ”
At this time, Professor Li, who had been silent for a long time, hurriedly replied: "Unless this is not a tomb at all, but a random burial and burial here with ulterior motives." The purpose is likely to be to seal the resentment of the bones in these coffins. Liu Xiaoge was horrified in his heart, if he was the only one who thought like this, maybe the truth was not as he imagined.
But at this moment, Professor Li, an old pedant, also said the same thing, and his tone was very flat, obviously this old guy had already seen it. It's just that he hasn't said it, if Liu Xiaoge hadn't picked out this topic first, Professor Li might not have said this at all. Liu Xiaoge secretly scolded this old fox in his heart for being cunning and stealing his limelight.
Professor Li continued coldly: "I have roughly observed these bones, and it can be seen from a few complete skulls that the owners of these bones are not too old, and they are all underage children. Although it is not clear how many bones there are, it is clear that these children will not die naturally, because unless there is a natural or man-made disaster, it is impossible to have a mass death of young children of the same age.
From the preservation of the bones, I can roughly tell that the bones are almost 2,000 years old. At all times, children are among the most protected members of the race, and it is absolutely unusual for such people to die en masse. Liu Xiaoge already has the answer at the moment, and is planning to give a rush to answer and make a perfect ending.
The little monkey suddenly spoke: "This is the practice of burial, here or the person who uses this coffin to collect the bones." A large tomb was dug up, and in this tomb there were boys and girls who were martyred, and the resentment of children's burial was the heaviest. Therefore, they had no choice but to choose such a place, intending to seal the resentment in the children's bones here. ”
Liu Xiaoge really wanted to give the little monkey a slap, but this guy was actually right, too much to steal the limelight......
