Chapter 33: The Wardrobe Is Found
There are several bedrooms, all of which are about the same size, and we can't tell which is the master bedroom and which is the guest room, so we can only enter randomly.
There are two kinds of beds in the bedroom, one is the antique shelf bed, that is, the top of the bed is covered, and the kind that can be covered by the tent, and the other should be made by a worker, a bit similar to the Japanese-style tatami mat, but it is much higher than that, and the bed can be used as storage space under the bed.
The bedding on the bed is still there, but there is nothing surprising about this, because I heard Qin Yiheng say that when moving, the bedding is generally not taken away, first, I don't want to be "been" (back), take an auspicious one; The second is that I don't want the bed to be dirty and sleep in the house after it becomes empty.
This futon is in metaphysics, and it is a very good thing to isolate yin qi, which is the reason why even if there is a ghost pressing the bed, there is no filth to get into the quilt to press people. In other words, many people will feel very safe hiding under the quilt at night, which makes sense not only psychologically, but also metaphysically. Legend has it that many people who have been put on their bodies cover their heads and feet with a quilt and then pour water on the quilt to make the filth go away. It's not a panacea, but it does have some effect.
That kind of shelf bed is dead and heavy, and Qin Yiheng and I played with each other, so I barely moved it. Disappointingly, however, the bed was empty except for dust. Qin Yiheng was unwilling, and even lifted the futon, but still didn't find it.
The two of them were busy for two hours, and I was so tired that I ate some vegetarian food left by the man to ease up.
Qin Yiheng is very energetic, he continued to look around alone while I was eating, and he didn't think about it, he didn't look at it for long, so he called me over.
I followed his voice and saw him stop at the edge of the worker's bed, the bedding had been lifted by him.
When I looked down, I couldn't help but say "Huh", because it was strange that there were two pictures on the bed under the mattress.
I know this painting, it is Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, in short, they are two gods. The custom of sticking to the door god is found all over the country, and it is often seen on weekdays. It's just that I'm surprised, this thing is all pasted on the door, why did the old man stick it here?
Thinking about it like this, I felt a little chilly all over my body, and the more I looked at the bed board, the more weird I felt, and my heart said, this bed board can be opened, and it is a door? There's a tunnel under this bed?
I wanted to discuss with Qin Yiheng, but he didn't want to pay attention to me, squinted for a long time, and then stepped forward and lifted the bed board.
He didn't greet me at all before he did this, which startled me and quickly took a step back. Seeing that there was nothing unusual when the bed board was lifted, I leaned forward again to see what was inside.
As soon as my eyes poked over, I was stunned, presumably Qin Yiheng was also very surprised, I saw that the corners of his mouth twitched a little. Because under the bedboard, there is a wardrobe lying horizontally, this wardrobe is not an ordinary wardrobe, but the kind we have seen in the ancestral hall.
The bed itself is very high, and it may have dug into the ground, so the wardrobe is well hidden. There were no bindings on the wardrobe, and I don't know if the road had been opened by the old man in the morning, or if it was like this.
I don't know if Lu Dao was nervous, Qin Yiheng took a deep breath before he stepped forward and touched the wardrobe. He didn't dare to open it rashly, but stood back and said, "From the outside, there doesn't seem to be anything evil or filthy in the closet. But there is one point, this is very likely to be the core of the whole trap, and it is normal for people to be manipulated and not feel yin. After opening it for a while, if you land, leave me alone, run first, don't drag me back. ”
Qin Yiheng's words were very serious, like his last words, and his expression was also very serious, so I didn't know what to say, so I could only nod at him. When he saw me nodding, he nodded back, turned around, told me to stand back, and then leaned down and opened the door to the closet.
When he opened a door, Qin Yi was constant for a moment, and he didn't know if Lu Dao was cautious or because he saw something, and then opened another door, and he didn't move again. The air instantly became heavy. I didn't dare to move, I didn't dare to run, I didn't dare to step forward, I just waited. After waiting for a cigarette, I saw Qin Yiheng stretch out his hand and signal me to come over.
I hurried up to take a look at it, and I was stunned.
The first thing I looked at was the door of the wardrobe, and to my surprise, the inside of the door of this wardrobe did not have a painting like the one in Qin Yiheng's house, and the door seemed to have been shoveled through with a shovel, and the original painting on it was removed.
I was disappointed because, for us, the most important clue to this wardrobe was the painting on the door, and now we can only look inside the wardrobe.
As I stood aside, I tried to guess what was in the closet, and I even prepared for the worst, thinking that if I pulled the door, it might be some kind of mechanism.
But when I looked at it, I found that the wardrobe was filled with soil, and it was full, I am afraid that if there is more soil, the wardrobe door will not be closed tightly.
These soils should have been sifted, the soil is very fine, the color is yellowish, and I don't know if the soil itself has a saying, or if there is something buried in it.
Qin Yiheng also looked at it with straight eyes for a long time, and after coming back to his senses, he grabbed a little soil with his hand and looked at it carefully, and sniffed it with his nose.
I asked him if the soil was unclean. He pouted at me, then bit his middle finger off and plunged it into the dirt. The soil is very fine, so it is not difficult to insert it.
However, the more I look at it, the more I feel that this is not simple, biting the middle finger is a very yang trick, usually self-harm tricks are used as a last resort, I can't help but be a little worried.
I glanced at Qin Yiheng's expression, and it didn't seem like there was any danger, so I could only comfort myself and watch it patiently.
Qin Yiheng's movements were very fast, and after pulling out his fingers, he actually stretched out his tongue and licked the soil on his fingertips that were clayed with blood. After thinking about it for a while, he told me that these soils are called "two taels" in magic. This "tael" is the unit of measurement "tael" commonly used in China.
The reason why it is called "two taels" also has a origin. Usually after a year of the new grave, the family goes to sweep the grave on the first day of the deceased, and the broken soil swept from the grave is called "one tael", and when they go to the grave again the next year, each time the soil swept down is called five coins.
This "money" is also a unit of weight in the old days, ten dollars is equal to one tael, so to make up enough two taels, you need to sweep the tomb for three years.
Although the weight of the crushed soil will certainly exceed two taels, it is usually called so by people in the industry, and there is a reason for this. Because this "two taels" does not simply refer to the weight, but refers to the role, two taels, two two, that is, four, these grave soils are used to bury the four positive positions outside the home. It is said that the official family cannot move the house where the "two taels" are buried, in short, the people in the family will not have a lawsuit in the future.
Not only that, people who are already entangled in lawsuits, if they have the opportunity, they will do everything possible to make up enough "two taels" to bury, and according to legend, there is also a role in the lawsuit to reverse the evil and turn the good fortune.
It is worth mentioning that if there are flowering plants on the grave, the soil will have no effect, especially if the safflower is blooming. If you don't know that you take the soil and bury it as "two taels", your family will soon have a bloody disaster.
In ancient times, unless there was a hatred against the heavens, ordinary hatred was to kill the living to vent their anger, and it was easy not to move the soil on other people's graves, which was really lacking in virtue; Second, it's not very auspicious. Therefore, usually no one is willing to touch it except for their own family. However, I heard that some tomb robbers will get some before the start of construction, which should also be a psychological comfort not to be caught by the officials.
Saying that, Qin Yiheng also sighed with emotion, saying that few people have heard such a thing as "two taels" now, because the cremation policy has been implemented for many years, and there are few graves, and it seems simple to sweep the grave soil, and few people are willing to insist on it. Moreover, now it is not like the old days when there was a large courtyard of the house, even if there is a "two taels", I don't know where the road is buried, so this kind of thing can basically only be used as a historical legacy, and it has gradually been abandoned.
After speaking, he took out a wet towel, wiped the bitten middle finger, and continued to tell me, saying that this "two taels" are grave soil after all, and there will be yin qi, and he doesn't know if there is a mystery under the soil, so for insurance, he can only bite his finger to test it.
After listening to the explanation, I hadn't turned a corner in my mind for a while. Although Qin Yiheng has already guessed the origin of this soil, what is this soil for? According to him, it is not difficult to collect, but it is not easy to say. Where are the graves now? Even if there were, shouldn't this grave belong to the old man's own relatives? There is so much soil in this closet, not to mention razing the grave, at least a lot of it has to be dug up. Or is it that the old man has died a lot of relatives, and he collects a little bit from each grave? The old man is not too young, and it is possible.
What's even more unpredictable is that this thing was collected just to bury it and hide from the lawsuit? How did you get the old man to pile up in the closet?
