Chapter 37: The World's Largest Coffin?
Qin Yiheng closed the door and told me to vomit the sheep dung ball, saying that he wanted me to hold it before entering the door just now, because he was afraid that I would lead something to follow up, and after speaking, he sprinkled a lot of grains by the door, and told me not to step on it. This is exactly what I want, I was worried that such a disgusting thing has been in my mouth, in case I bump into something and scare me, I will accidentally swallow it...... I spit out the sheep dung ball and rinsed it several times to lighten the strange smell in my mouth. I walked over to the mill and looked at it, and I said, "How can there be such a thing in this place?" Needless to say, the weight of this kind of grinding disc is needless to say, and it would take a lot of work to transport it here. But it's here now, so even if Qin Yiheng doesn't explain to me what it's for, I can guess that this thing is very important to this house.
Thinking of this, I asked Qin Yiheng, what's going on with this grinding disc?
Qin Yiheng said, don't worry about this, there are things that surprise you even more, as he said that, he opened the piece of rainproof cloth, I was really taken aback, it turned out that what was covered was several large wardrobes that I had seen in the house before, and each wardrobe was painted with red paint and wrapped tightly with wide tape. I subconsciously took a step back, and said in my heart, last time, that wardrobe almost left Qin Yiheng in that house, how could there be so many here?
I saw Qin Yiheng pacing back and forth in front of the wardrobe for a few steps, and he didn't mean to answer, so I asked him, is there something in this closet?
He shook his head, I was a little anxious, and said, do you shake your head without knowing the meaning of the Tao or not? I'm terrified here, you give me a good word.
Then he said, I don't know, but we have to find a way to get these wardrobes away.
Now I'm even more confused, transport away? Not to mention how valuable these wardrobes are, I don't look like antiques, but even antiques, in this poor and remote area, there is no good means of transportation, just with the two of us, we may not be able to move out of one. I probably counted six wardrobes.
I asked Qin Yiheng, what exactly are these wardrobes for? What to ship back for?
When he heard this, he went to one of the wardrobes, tapped lightly with his hand, and told me that he did not know what they were for, but he guessed that there were things written in each of them, and most of them were the addresses of some houses.
As soon as he said this, I understood, and he suspected that these wardrobes were "address books", which is not a joke! He said before that because the address book is easy to carry, the lighter and simpler the better, and now he suddenly told me that Markham Wing likes to be a maverick and get a few of these behemoths as address books? Is he wishing someone else would find him or something? And then again, if these are address books, then who took out the previous one? And then how did you get to someone else's house? I couldn't figure out more and more things, and I felt like a thread was getting knotted in my head. I looked at Qin Yiheng puzzled, and asked him how he knew that this was the address book.
He shook his head again, saying that he was only guessing that these were address books, but that he would only know if they were true or not until each closet was opened.
When I saw that Qin Yiheng meant to open it, I immediately felt that my legs were a little weak. I'm definitely not in favor of it, but if you want to take it back and open it, you can't do it. I persuaded him, is it necessary to open this? After all, you're just guessing, what if you're wrong? And we don't know what's in the tunnel.
Qin Yiheng nodded slightly and agreed, but he told me that even if he guessed wrong, if he couldn't bring these things back, he still had to open them. After saying that, he looked at me, pointed to the wardrobe, and said that the one he had seen in that house before, because he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so he just took a closer look, and he found that these wardrobes were all made of old materials from coffins, and, looking at it now, I am afraid that this was changed from a batch of coffins, and even, it is very likely that it was changed from a coffin.
After I heard this, I wondered even more, was it changed from a coffin? This is indeed surprising, do the people who co-authored these wardrobes have nowhere to find wood, or do they just look at the wood of those coffins? I saw that the wood of this wardrobe was ordinary wood, and although I could not tell what kind of wood it was, I could at least see that it was not made of valuable wood.
I quickly lit a cigarette, took a hard puff, and looked at the cabinets again. Each cabinet is as big as the one seen in the house before, and the style is the same, but in terms of volume, if you change it with the wood of the coffin, it will definitely not be enough.
First of all, the shape of this wardrobe and the coffin is very different, I stepped forward and had the courage to compare it, each side of the wardrobe is made of a whole piece of wood, which makes me even more sure that a coffin is impossible to change into such a large wardrobe, because a coffin can not pick such a large area of wood on it.
Thinking like this, I told Qin Yiheng about my doubts. He also nodded yes and said, so he guessed that it was likely that all the wardrobes were made of a coffin. Although this speculation is more outrageous, it also makes sense in theory.
After speaking, he threw away the cigarette butt and lit another one casually, still full of doubts. I took a deep breath and thought about it in my head, thinking that his guess was still untenable, such a large wardrobe was made of wood from a coffin? So how big does this coffin have to be, let alone pretending to be a person, it's no problem to live in people, who can use such a coffin? Besides, even if all of this is true, where did this coffin come from? Could it be that someone wanted to make the largest coffin in the world on a whim, and then regretted it and felt that the wood was a pity, so they changed it to a wardrobe? Before I could say anything, I reacted to one more thing, how could he conclude that these wardrobes were made of coffins? Supposedly, there is no way to tell from the wardrobe alone, unless there is a reference, for example, that he has seen the coffin!
Thinking like this, I was also taken aback, I looked at Qin Yiheng, his eyes seemed to be quite firm, so I asked him, have you seen that coffin?
He was stunned for a moment, shook his head at first, then nodded, and said that he had not seen the coffin, but he had seen part of it.
After speaking, he reminded me that in the house of Zhenlong in Jiuzi Town, he found a coffin board with my name and birth date written on it.
Before he could finish speaking, I remembered it, because the memory of that night was so deep. That six fingers used this board to lead the two of us to break the game of the real dragon in Jiuzi Town. I was scared at the time, but nothing too big happened, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Now after Qin Yiheng said this, I felt that my hands and feet began to feel cold, because his meaning was obvious, the wood of that board was probably exactly the same as the wardrobe.
At this point, I was speechless, both of us were pondering, but there was no thought in my head, I just needed some time to calm down. After just ten minutes, Qin Yiheng woke up like a dream, he patronized the wardrobe just now, and this thing is not small. As he spoke, he pointed to the stone grinding disc, then walked to the edge of the grinding disc, and told me that he had just taken a rough look at it, and these bamboo pipes that lead water can lead the water out of the water, and I can't see where it leads to now, but from the analysis of the grinding disc, I'm afraid it can be determined.
I followed his finger and noticed that there was something carved on the grinding plate, which turned out to be some birds and animals. The pattern is very abstract and looks a bit like a child's stick figure. I could tell what they were, but I couldn't tell what they were. However, these patterns are so densely carved that almost the surface of the grinding disc is carved all over the surface.
Qin Yiheng had already half-squatted down when I looked at the pattern, pointed to the black part of the lower layer of the grinding disc and continued, this grinding disc has an exclusive name in the alms, called "Grinding Hell", which is said to be a kind of torture in hell. However, no one has ever seen what it is like in hell, there are some imitations in reality, but they are much smaller than this one, and the role is also used to drive away ghosts, which can crush evil ghosts, and beat it so that it will never be able to be reborn, and it is said that the master can even use this thing to change his luck. This one here is not used to drive away ghosts at all, this mill is used to grind people's flesh and bones, and after crushing, dead water will be poured on the mill, that is, those who have no living water source can only rely on rain to accumulate water from small pools or small lakes from the water, presumably this pool or lake is mostly also in a very heavy yin position, and after the last of all, these dead water mixed with human bones and blood will flow out of this pipe, and eventually surround the entire ancestral hall.
Speaking of this, Qin Yiheng paused, thought for a few seconds, and continued, there is only one purpose for doing this, which is to use these grievances and yin qi to trap all the souls on the spiritual positions in the ancestral hall and prevent them from being reincarnated!
His words can no longer be described as shocking to me, if all this is true, could it be said that the purpose of the construction of this ancestral hall is not to worship the ancestors, but to detain the ancestors? I think of that dense spiritual position, not to mention hundreds of people, this is too creepy, could it be that this was not built by the descendants of ten thousand families? But if it weren't for the descendants of this family, then how would he know the details of the Lu Dao family? The earliest of those ancestors on the spiritual throne may be traced back to several dynasties ago, and the Wan family members all died on the same day of the year, is there any connection between this? What exactly is the purpose of this person?
I looked at Qin Yiheng, however, he also pursed his lips, and it seemed that he didn't know what all this was for.
