The two of us were walking, and suddenly a black shadow popped out of the bushes on the side, which startled the two of us, and I hurriedly took a flashlight to shine it, which turned out to be a ghost eye.

I patted my frightened chest: "Uncle Chen, you scared me to death." Where is the grave we are looking for? ”

Ghost Eye Chen turned around and pointed to the bushes behind him, and said, "It's not long before I got here, I've already checked it just now, the ancient tomb is still there, and the coffin mushroom we are looking for is still in the coffin." ”

"How can you be sure that the mushroom is still in the coffin, have you already dug it up?" I was a little surprised, although Ghost Eye Chen walked fast, he arrived here at most ten minutes earlier than us, and digging a grave in such a short time was inevitably too fast.

I was surprised in my heart, but Ghost Eye Chen said, "You don't have to dig up to see it, you two come with me!" ”

He took a few steps forward, then suddenly turned around and said to the two of us, "By the way, you two have to turn off the flashlight and dig up the coffin, preferably without bright light." ”

I didn't ask why, I immediately followed his instructions, turned off the flashlight, and it was dark in front of me, and after a while, my eyes eased up, and by the moonlight, I could vaguely see the surrounding situation, but because of the lush trees around, many places were blocked by the shade of the trees.

The two of us could only follow closely behind Ghost Eye Chen and walk forward in the dark.

Walking forward more than ten meters away, Ghost Eye Chen led the two of us to a small earthen bag about one meter high, directly in front of the semicircle, it is also strange, the trees in this area are extremely lush, but within a radius of a few meters of this small earthen bag, there is not a single tree, not even thorns and weeds, as if it has been artificially trimmed. Moreover, the sound of insects in the vicinity seems to be much weaker, to be exact, there are almost no insects, and the insects we hear come from a little farther away.

Ghost Eye Chen pointed to the small earthen bag and said, "This is the ancient tomb that is more than 1,000 years old, and I estimate that it is from the Tang Dynasty." ”

I thought that the weeds on the grave were specially cleaned up by Ghost Eye Chen just now, and I said with some surprise: "Uncle Chen, why did you clean this grave so quickly?" ”

Ghost Eye Chen smiled: "Hehe, do you think that I picked up this grave?" ”

"Isn't it?" I was slightly stunned.

"Of course not! This grave with a coffin grows like this, and there is hardly any grass within a radius of two feet, but if you look closely, you will find that there is actually a layer of moss on the grave. This kind of moss is more special, the color is dark brown, so it is also called brown moss, this brown moss is the companion of the coffin mushroom, often only can be seen on the grave where the coffin mushroom grows. It was on this basis that I was able to determine whether there were any mushrooms in the coffin. ”

Listening to Ghost Eye Chen's words, I stared at the grave by the moonlight and took a closer look, and I could indeed vaguely see that the grave was covered with a dark brown object, like a camel's hair blanket, and as for whether it was moss or not, it was too dim to tell whether it was too dim to tell.

Ghost Eye Chen raised his head and glanced at the full moon hanging high on the branches, and continued: "It's just over now, let's make preparations first, and start digging the grave at three o'clock in the ugly hour, and we can open the coffin and take mushrooms around the same time, and the time is just right." At 5:15 a.m., just before sunrise, he calculated accurately, and I hurriedly asked, "What should I do about this preparation?" Do you have to do a ritual to drive away evil spirits first? ”

I pondered in my heart that this was a thousand-year-old tomb after all, and we were still digging the grave in the middle of the night when the yin qi was at its heaviest, and there was a chance that something evil would happen, so I said as I took out the prepared evil exorcism talisman, peach wood sword, and Bagua Town evil bell and other magic weapons from my bag, and I hurriedly took out the Tiangang Demon Mirror.

Who knew that the ghost eye Chen waved his hand and said: "This tomb does not need to exorcise evil spirits, and besides, you had better put away all these evil exorcism magic weapons, the coffin mushroom belongs to yin, but you can't stand these pure yang magic weapons." ”

I couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Why don't you need to exorcise evil spirits?" This is a thousand-year-old tomb, what if there is something evil in it? ”

"This is a thousand-year-old tomb, yes, but as long as there is a tomb where the coffin mushroom grows, there will be no evil thing, the coffin mushroom will absorb the yin and yang qi around it, not to mention the evil thing, even snakes, insects, rats and ants dare not approach!"

Hearing what Ghost Eye Chen said, I realized that no wonder there was no insect chirping in the vicinity, it turned out to be the case.

Ghost Eye Chen untied the bundle of things he brought, and I leaned over to see that it was actually a bundle of wooden stakes.

Each of these wooden stakes is almost the same size, the thickness of the mouth of the mineral water bottle, about a foot long, one end thick and one pointed, a total of about seventeen or eighteen.

I didn't know what Ghost Eye Chen was doing with these wooden stakes, so I asked puzzledly, "Uncle Chen, what are these wooden stakes for?" ”

Ghost-eyed Chen said, "These wooden nails will have to be nailed around this cemetery and connected with red ropes to prevent the coffin mushrooms from slipping away." ”

"Will this coffin mushroom slip away?" I said in surprise.

"The thousand-year-old coffin mushrooms that have become humanoid are almost becoming essences, how can they not slip away, and enter when they see the soil! Do you know how to dig a hundred-year-old ginseng, you have to tie each ginseng with a red rope, and then slowly dig the soil with a wooden tool, so as to lock the aura contained in the old ginseng. Sometimes it takes ten days and a half months to dig up an old ginseng, from the time it is found to the time it is dug up. Digging up coffin mushrooms is not so troublesome, but the principle is the same. ”

Ghost-Eye Chen said, throwing me the black cloth he had just used to wrap the stakes, and said, "You put this thing away, it will be useful later." ”

I put the black cloth in my backpack, and I helped Ghost Eye Chen nail the stakes together.

It wasn't a technical job, and after a while, a circle of wooden stakes were nailed around the cemetery, and Ghost Eye Chen took out a bundle of red rope out of nowhere and connected all the wooden stakes used.

When he was done, he looked up at the moon hanging in the sky and said, "It's almost three quarters old, let's start digging." ”

I hurriedly picked up the hoe that was placed aside, one for each person, and the three of them started digging.

Perhaps because of its age, the soil of this grave was quite hard, and it was quite difficult to dig, and after digging for a long time, I felt a little sore in my arm, but in order to be in a hurry, I didn't care so much, so I picked up the hoe and dug hard.

After digging for nearly an hour, we finally dug a pit nearly two meters deep at the head of the grave, and we had all gone down to the pit. However, the coffin was still missing.

I was wondering when Ghost Eye Chen suddenly called for us to stop.

and I stopped digging and took the opportunity to shake our numb arms a few times.

Ghost Eye Chen squatted down and used his hands to dig up the dirt at the bottom of the pit.

I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and asked, "Uncle Chen, isn't there a hoe here?" Why did you just get started? ”

Ghost Eye Chen said: "Further down should be the coffin board, you have to be careful, don't dig up the coffin board." ”

"Wouldn't it be good to dig it up, aren't we just going to open the coffin and take the coffin mushrooms inside?" Asking, he asked.

Ghost Eye Chen explained: "It's true that we want to open the coffin, but this coffin mushroom can't see yang energy, and the gold artifact belongs to yang, so you can't use an iron hoe to forcibly dig up the coffin board." Later, we will have to carefully remove the dirt from the coffin, and then lift the lid of the coffin. ”

"What! You have to plane by hand!? The cheap exclaimed.

"If you want to dig up the best coffin mushrooms in perfect condition, you have to do this!"

Ghost Eye Chen's attitude was very resolute, and I was helpless, so I had to squat down and then dig it up with my hands.

Sure enough, as Ghost Eye Chen said, after a while of planing, we found the coffin board, because the pit was too dark, I couldn't see what the coffin board was, but to my surprise, the board was still very hard, and it was not rotten at all.

I wondered: "This thousand-year-old tomb has not undergone any special embalming treatment, how can the coffin still be so well preserved?" ”

Ghost Eye Chen asked me rhetorically, "Do you know what material this coffin is made of?" ”

I shook my head.

Ghost Eye Chen said: "It's Golden Silk Nanmu!" This thing is resistant to corrosion and insects, not to mention being processed into a coffin, even if it is an ordinary piece of golden silk nanmu, it can not rot for thousands of years when buried in the ground. ”

Listening to what the ghost eye Chen said, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, about the golden silk nanmu, I have also heard of it, and know that this is a very precious wood, the coffin of the ancient emperors and generals, mostly made of golden silk nanmu.

The reason why I was surprised was because such a precious golden silk nan wooden coffin was actually buried in this barren mountain range.

I said suspiciously: "What kind of big man is buried here, the coffin is actually made of golden silk nanmu!" ”

"The owner of this tomb must have been a powerful person during his lifetime, because only those who have been taking ginseng and other supplements for a long time can grow mushrooms after death. ”

As we were talking, a dark wind blew from nowhere.

The cheap said nervously: "Brother! We shouldn't have alarmed the owner of the tomb, right? "He is a pure yin character, and he is easily possessed by ghosts, so he is most afraid of encountering lonely souls and wild ghosts and other things.

I hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, didn't Uncle Chen say just now, where there are coffins and mushrooms growing, there will be no ghosts and evil spirits!" Uncle Chen, huh!? As I spoke, I turned my head to look at Ghost Eye Chen.

Ghost Eye Chen immediately made a package ticket: "You can rest assured!" There will definitely be no ghosts and evil in this place, and it is very safe, ......" Before he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly called "Wow, Wow, Wow" from outside the pit.
