Volume 2 The Eye of the Deep Chapter 68 The Black Lacquer Coffin
Team Zhang's face changed, and he immediately stopped, "What nonsense!" What an old immortal, it's Mr. Zhuo, Mr. Zhuo! Team Deputy Zhang's words are not to disadmit his grandfather's ability, but to really think about his grandfather. If the reputation of Grandpa Zhuo Lao Immortal spreads, it is very likely that he will be labeled as promoting feudal superstition and criticized. If you don't know, Deputy Zhang will also be implicated.
Hearing Team Deputy Zhang's words, the person who came nodded yes, and hurriedly changed his words, "Hurry up and ask Mr. Zhuo to take a look, the place where the tree was cut yesterday was seen by someone this morning, and the small mound was cracked!" There's a ...... there, there's a ."
"What's there? Fucking talk about it! Team Zhang scolded anxiously.
The man froze, and then said, "In that mound, a coffin is revealed!" ”
"Huh?!" Team Deputy Zhang was also taken aback, and turned around to go into the house to find his grandfather.
But Grandpa was so deaf and clear-sighted, he had already heard the conversation between the two in the house. Before Team Deputy Zhang entered the house, Grandpa had already walked out.
The two deputies of Team Zhang hurriedly rushed to the location of the small mound with their grandfather. Some villagers had already gathered on the small mound, and Grandpa separated everyone and stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, there was a huge crack under the stump left by the locust tree. The giant root system of the giant locust tree crisscrosses the cracks. Through these intertwined roots, Grandpa saw that there was a hole in the ground under the roots of the tree, and inside the hole was a large coffin. And what made Grandpa feel uneasy was that this coffin was completely black.
Regarding the color of the coffin, many books have described how terrifying the red lacquer coffin is, but in fact, it may have something to do with the region. Locally, red lacquer coffins are used for the joy and mourning of the elderly who are over eighty years old and have died without illness. White lacquered coffins are used for the young as well as for unmarried women. The black lacquered coffin is used for people who die of illness, murder or suicide.
If there is a person who died unnaturally in this black lacquered coffin in the cave under his feet at this time, it is very likely that this person has accumulated resentment before he died, and this is a place where yin qi gathers, so there is a great possibility of corpse transformation here.
Seeing such a situation, Grandpa sighed lightly, fortunately, this tomb has not been formed for a long time, that is, more than a hundred years, even if there is a corpse, he can still cope with it. Grandpa gritted his teeth and secretly decided, "Today I will get rid of you as a scourge!" ”
This kind of place where yin qi gathers, also known as the place where corpses are raised, is a place where corpses are very prone to corpse transformation, and the degree of corpse transformation is also different depending on the time of placement in this place. I still remember that the second uncle encountered the bloody Wuzhen corpse coffin back then, which was obviously more evil than the one my grandfather encountered, and the bloody Wuzhen corpse coffin killed many people overnight, and this black lacquer coffin has not reached that level.
Grandpa turned to Deputy Zhang and said, "This thing below is very dangerous, if it is not solved, one day it will hurt people!" ”
At this time, Deputy Zhang, in fact, was not only Deputy Zhang, but even all the other villagers, who obeyed Grandpa's words and believed from the bottom of their hearts.
Hearing what his grandfather said, Deputy Zhang said, "Do you want me to find a few barrels of gasoline and pour it on fire?" ”
Grandpa shook his head, "No, the mechanism of the hole below is afraid that it will collapse as soon as it burns, and the fire will be extinguished as soon as the hole collapses, and this coffin will be buried again, and it will be difficult to dig it again." And I'm afraid that burning, it may not be able to eradicate the roots. ”
Team Deputy Zhang nodded, "Then what do you say you should do, we all listen to you." ”
Grandpa thought about it for a while, the yin qi that had accumulated in this underground for hundreds of years, if the corpse in this coffin had changed, then it would be like a fish in water in this cave.
Grandpa made up his mind and said to Deputy Zhang: "Anyway, hang the coffin up first!" This kind of thing can't see the light, put it in the sun, even if it can't be extinguished, it can't do evil. ”
"Good!" Team Zhang nodded, turned to the surrounding villagers and said, "Hey, Sankui is not there?" Are you there? Isn't it? Then he pointed to a half-grown child and said, "I said little bolt, go back to the village and call your Uncle Sankui!" Just go! Oops! As he spoke, Team Deputy Zhang stopped the little bolt that was about to run away, "Little bolt!" I'll tell you! You won't come back for a while, little kid is making a lot of fun, be careful to lose your soul! Remember not! ”
The child called the little bolt, answered, turned around and ran towards the village, Zhang team deputy told the grandfather, this Sankui is a single person in the village, in the early years in the west with the engineering team to open the mountain and build the road, often to the mountain and down the mountain with a rope to pass things, so the hand has practiced a rope hanging things. How accurate is this guy's noose? Last year, he used a rope to squat on the wall of Widow Li's house, and used the rope through the window to steal the woman's underwear on the bed. If it hadn't been seen by someone passing by, it is estimated that Widow Li would not have known how she lost her clothes until she died. Hearing the "glorious history" of Sankui, Grandpa also shook his head with a smile.
After a while, a tall bald man rushed over, walked to the side of Team Deputy Zhang, smiled and said, "Team Vice, what are you looking for?" ”
Deputy Zhang pointed to the coffin in the hole in the crack, "You use a rope to cover the coffin below, and I'll find someone to hang it up later." ”
Sankui looked down, "Oh my God, this is really such a strange thing!" However, team vice, such a big thing, it's still so deep, I'm afraid I can't hold it! It's so hard! Sankui smiled bitterly and said to Deputy Zhang.
Team Zhang glanced at him, "Difficult!" How hard is it? Is it difficult to stand on the wall and put on women's underwear?! As soon as Team Zhang said this, Sankui's face turned red, and he didn't even mean that.
Team Deputy Zhang continued: "Sankui, let me tell you, I haven't settled last year's account with you!" If you do this well today, not only will I not blame the past, but I will also double your work today! Otherwise......"
Hearing Team Deputy Zhang say this, Sankui's eyes lit up, "Team Vice, you are talking about it!" Then I'll give it a try! You'll have to get a few people to help me, though. ”
Team Deputy Zhang immediately nodded, "No problem!" Then he said to the surrounding villagers, "Hey, over there, here are some boys!" However, people always have some fear of this kind of thing, so Deputy Zhang's words have received a positive response, and no one really stands up, but seeing this scene, Deputy Zhang is not panicked, as if he had expected this situation for a long time, "Everyone, listen up!" Those who participated today will be counted as work points, and they will be doubled! Is there anybody? ”
When Deputy Zhang said this, the effect was immediate, and several strong young men immediately stood up. At that time, this situation was not surprising, in those days, the work was the life of the villagers, and the family relied on the work earned by the production team to survive, and earning more work meant more food.
Sankui led people to first cut off some locust roots at the edge of the crack, cut off those that could be chopped, sawed off those that could not be cut, cleaned up the crack outlet, and then set up a winch frame, and then saw Sankui pull a long rope out of a circle and tie a slipknot. Glancing at the position of the coffin, he stretched out his hand and threw it hard, and the rope sleeve hung on one end of the coffin very accurately as if it had eyes.
Sankui tied the two steel hooks with a rope again, and slowly put them down, just hooking the outer edge of one end of the coffin, several young men pulled on it, and the coffin was cocked at one end. The other end of the coffin was also concocted in the same way, and in less than an hour, two hemp ropes had tied the coffin below strongly.
When everything was ready, Grandpa began to direct the crowd and hang the coffin on the ground. During this period, there has always been a doubt in Grandpa's heart, that is, the sentence that Deputy Zhang's child has been chanting in a coma definitely does not look like a child talking nonsense, it must have really appeared. But where are the eyes that the child mentioned?
As the coffin was hoisted to the ground, everyone looked nervous, and Grandpa's expression became solemn. Grandpa stepped forward to look at the coffin, and his face changed at that time, because he clearly saw that there were sixteen iron nails nailed to the coffin lid, but at this time the iron nails were completely rotten.
Grandpa nodded and said to himself, "No wonder you can come out and harm people!" ”
Deputy Zhang, who had already retreated, came over again at this time, "How do you look like Mr. Zhuo?" Is there something wrong? ”
Grandpa pointed to the sixteen iron nails on the coffin lid and said, "When I was studying medicine in my early years, I heard people say that this is called sixteen clavicle spines!" Specially used to suppress the murderous corpse, these sixteen iron nails passed through the coffin lid and nailed into the sixteen large holes of the corpse to prevent the corpse from escaping and doing evil, but unfortunately the iron nail is rotten, so the things in it can harm people. ”
Listening to his grandfather's words, Deputy Zhang was a little flustered and hurriedly asked his grandfather what to do next. Grandpa circled the coffin and asked him to prepare some one-meter-long steel bars and smash them on the point. Deputy Zhang asked, "I don't know how much to use?" ”
Grandpa knew that this kind of thing might not be easy to find, and he couldn't force it, so he told Team Deputy Zhang to prepare as much as possible, the more the better.
Deputy Zhang smiled when he heard this, and said: "Mr. Zhuo, don't you know, many years ago, during the time of the big steelmaking, the village made a soil steelmaking furnace, but nothing else was refined, and a lot of soil steel bars were made, and there are still a few large bundles still in the backyard of the village committee. ”
Grandpa was overjoyed when he heard this, so let him hurry up and prepare, the more the better.
Now comes the crucial thing - open the coffin! At this time, it is not something that many people can do, so the grandfather asked everyone else to step back, picked up a crowbar by himself, inserted it into the gap of the coffin lid, and pried it hard, only to hear a creak, the coffin lid was cocked up a corner, fortunately, the sixteen iron nails on it have been rotten and broken, otherwise the coffin lid cannot be opened at all, unless the coffin is disassembled.
But what grandpa didn't expect was that when he put the crowbar under the coffin lid, and before he could pry it hard, the coffin suddenly creaked by itself, and then, the coffin lid was lifted by itself, and the coffin only revealed a pitch-black gap, grandpa was shocked, but it didn't show up. Grandpa frowned, then bent down to look inside the coffin through the gap under the coffin lid, and then the light outside, but saw two small white balls inside.
Grandpa's heart moved, and then he fixed his eyes and looked inside again, and this time, Grandpa felt a chill on his back, because this time he saw clearly, it was not a white ball at all, but two white eyes, looking at him from inside the coffin!
