Chapter 15: The Coffin of Black and Gold

When I was a child, I thought that dragons were the most sacred thing in the world, and the most terrifying thing in the world, but now Jiang Li told me that there was something even more terrifying than dragons under this seemingly inconspicuous ditch, which had raised my curiosity to a new level.

Jiang Li didn't say anything more to me, but squatted down to smooth out the mud and sand in front of him, then broke a wooden branch from the side and handed it to me, and said to me: "I will ask the gods to possess you in a while, you don't have to be afraid, you just need to follow the instructions." ”

I sighed, Jiang Li pulled my hand over, and the wooden branch was just placed in the middle of this horizontal sandy land, and then he said: "Disciple Jiang Li, I respectfully ask Patriarch Baiyun to descend, I am as anxious as the law of Taishang Laojun." ”

After reading it, I slapped it on the back of the head, and I immediately fell into a state of confusion, and it didn't take long for my hand to move on its own, drawing some strange lines on the sand in front of me.

This process took less than half a minute, and after half a minute, Jiang Li removed my hand from the sand, and I came to my senses and asked, "Master, what is this?" ”

Jiang Li said: "The Taoist system is divided into five types, mountain, medicine, life, phase, and divination, which is the 'Fu Ping technique' in divination, which can be used to predict the direction and read the heavenly machine. ”

Later, I learned that the Baiyun patriarch in Jiang Li's mouth was called Chen Lu, one of the patriarchs of the Mai School, and his book "Mai Shenxiang" recorded the most sophisticated divination spells in Taoism, and had a very high status in ancient Taoist books.

After Jiang Li finished explaining to me, he began to decipher the strange lines I had drawn on this sand table, and after looking at it for about five minutes, Jiang Li's face suddenly changed greatly, and he suddenly stood up and looked at me.

I saw that his expression changed too quickly, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Li paused for a few seconds and then said to me: "You go back and call your father, let's go and see your grandfather's grave together, I still have some things to deal with here, remember that no matter what happens to your grandfather's grave, don't make it public, don't let anyone except your family know." ”

Jiang Li had never been so serious, and he didn't understand what Jiang Li had seen from these lines, but I knew the seriousness of the matter, so I immediately got up and went back.

Jiang Li walked up this ditch, I walked home quickly, and after seeing my father, I told him what Jiang Li said, and my father listened to my words and only smiled bitterly, so many things had already exhausted him, he said to me: "Baby, you go with your master, don't worry about these things, no matter what the result is, let's just bear it, Dad is old, there are some things I don't want to know, what should happen is fate, as long as you go, Dad has nothing to worry about." ”

Dad is so decadent that he doesn't even want to care about what happens, and I don't know how to persuade my dad.

But at this time, grandma came and said: "How old are you, you still have a lot of good days to live, you have to drive Xiao Wazi away, it's very chaotic outside, God knows if his master will take care of him anymore after you drive him away." ”

Grandma spoke, and Dad lifted the hoe next to me and took me to Grandpa's graveyard.

Not long after my grandfather was buried, and the soil on the grave had not yet dried, my father kowtowed a few times in front of my grandfather's grave, then lit a stick of incense, and asked me to kneel in front of my grandfather's grave.

After kneeling, his father said: "Just open your eyes and see, what has become of this family, if you know anything underground, let this matter settle down, Xiao Wazi is still young and can't withstand such a toss." ”

After kowtowing, I was going to dig my grandfather's grave with my father.

But my father pushed me away and said, "This is your grandfather's grave, and your descendants will dig his grave to attract heaven's curse. ”

After Dad finished speaking, he waved his hoe and began to dig graves.

Because it was new mud, it didn't take much effort to dig up the grave.

The grave was dug up to reveal the coffin inside, but the moment he saw the coffin, his knees weakened, he fell to his knees in front of the grave, and then hugged his head and cried.

I paced forward, and when I saw my grandfather's coffin, I was also stunned.

There is a custom in the countryside that when people die over the age of 60, even if they are happy and mourning, the coffin and shroud must be red. For those who die under the age of 60, the coffin and shroud should be black.

The coffin of my grandfather when he was buried was clearly red, but now it has become a coffin with a mixture of black and gold, and the black coffin is engraved with a lot of gold threads.

The gold thread was bent and wound around the coffin, and it was full of words that I couldn't read.

However, in the middle of the coffin lid, I recognized two large gilded letters.

Warrior King!

I didn't understand the meaning of these two words, so I went over and squatted in front of my father, touched my father's shoulder like Jiang Li, and said, "Master said that nothing will happen to our family." ”

Dad looked up and stared at me with teary eyes, then got up and used a shovel to pry the lid of the coffin.

The coffin should have been sealed with willow nails, but the lid of this black gold coffin was only concealed, not sealed, and Dad lifted the coffin without much effort.

When the coffin was opened, a foul smell came out of it, and my father and I both covered our noses and squinted into the coffin.

In the coffin, Grandpa's body lay peacefully, but it did not decompose, but Grandpa's body had dried up, described as withered, without any moisture.

Grandpa's body is not wearing a shroud.

It is a robe similar to Jiang Li's body, which looks more luxurious than Jiang Li's robe.

Wearing a Taoist crown and a Taoist robe, the grandfather held a large seal in his left hand and a magic sword made of copper coins in his right hand.

Jiang Li also has this magic sword.

Jiang Li told me before that the magic sword and the Taoist robe are also divided into 369 and so on, the 36 copper coins are called the Tiangang Sword, the 49 copper coins are called the Seven Star Sword, the 72 magic swords are called the Earth Demon Sword, and the highest specification is the eighty-one one, which is called the Qiankun Sword.

Dad looked at the corpse of his grandfather in the coffin and froze, muttering, "Who replaced this?" ”

"Dad, it's so hot inside the coffin." You can feel it when you lean on the coffin up close, the temperature inside the coffin is much higher than the outside, not stuffy, but as if a fire has been lit inside the coffin.

Dad listened to me, reached over and turned Grandpa's body over.

The sight below Grandpa's corpse made us all panic.

The back of the coffin was not flat, but into a funnel-like groove, and the heat came from under the coffin, drying Grandpa's corpse, and the corpse oil on Grandpa's body leaked down the coffin.

"Holy shit, which one did it!" Although the matter between grandpa and my mother made my father extremely dissatisfied with my grandfather, but the person lying in this coffin was the one who gave birth to my father, and now seeing that my grandfather was still tortured like this after his death, my father was naturally angry.

Dad's voice was very loud, and I immediately stopped him and said, "Master said that no matter what you see, don't make a public announcement, and don't let others know. ”

Dad gritted his teeth, put Grandpa's body back in its place, and then picked up the magic seal and magic sword in Grandpa's hand.

As soon as we picked up these two things, and we were about to put them back in the coffin, my grandfather suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his dry hand and grabbed my father, pulling him so that he couldn't straighten his waist.

I was so frightened that I was about to pull my grandfather's hand away, but my grandfather said, "Kill my son." ”

After saying this, Grandpa let go of his hand and closed his eyes.

Dad was stunned for a long time before beckoning me to close the coffin together, refill the soil, and walk back with the magic sword and magic seal.

Halfway through the road, I met my grandfather, who saw me and my father, and saw us carrying hoes, and the direction of coming back was also the direction of the cemetery, so he stopped and asked my father, "What are you doing here?" What's in your hand? ”

Dad didn't know why, he seemed very calm at this time, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, this is Chen Xiao's master's, let's go to the mountain to have a look." ”

Grandpa obviously didn't believe it, looked us up and down for a while, guessed something, and said to my father sharply: "Little beast, your father did something wrong, but he is dead, you don't do ridiculous things, after all, it is your father, if I let Lao Tzu know that you are going to dig his grave, I will beat you on both feet." ”

Dad smiled and said no.

Grandpa let us go and went up the mountain alone.

Jiang Li went back before us, and as soon as we entered the house, he saw what my father was carrying, stood up and asked, "What do you see?" ”

Dad told Jiang Li about the condition of his grandfather in his grandfather's grave, and then gave Jiang Li the magic seal and magic sword and said, "I don't know which one put this thing in his coffin, Master Jiang, look at what's going on?" ”

Jiang Li took the magic sword and the magic seal, looked at it a few times, and said, "This was originally Grandpa Chen Xiao's thing. ”

How could my grandfather have these things?

But before we could understand, Jiang Li turned to ask grandma again: "Old man, are you hiding something from me?" About Chen Xiao and his grandfather. ”
