Chapter 8 The Second Dragon Pattern
Brother Qiang asked, "Do you know this cloth?" I also looked at Diao Nan strangely, muttering in my heart, it is his family's ancestral grave that will not be pried. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Diao Nan said, "This is called the dragon pattern diagram, which is an ancestral craft of my Diao family, but it has been lost." ”
I secretly said badly, I really guessed that the iron coffin really had something to do with the Diao family. I glanced at Brother Qiang, gave him a look, and played a round game, knowing that we would pry his ancestral grave and say that he would not give us two palms. looked at the perverted appearance of that hand, and it was estimated that the skin would fall off if you rubbed it.
Brother Qiang smiled, looking a lot more honest, "Bear paw, our brother doesn't know that the iron coffin belongs to your family, how offended." ”
"Iron coffin?" Diao Nan dragged Brother Qiang, almost dragging him from the front to the back seat, "You said you are pouring the Qing Dynasty's fight? What is that person, tell me quickly." ”
Diao Nan's behavior startled me, and I was relieved that he didn't look angry. Stretched out his hand to pat Diao Nan, he let go, and smiled a little embarrassedly when he saw that Brother Qiang was scratched.
At this time, I felt that this touching Jin Lieutenant was really extraordinary, but I heard about an iron coffin and knew that it was from the Qing Dynasty. But I'm a little puzzled, I haven't heard of any period when it was popular to use iron coffins for burial, you know, even if ordinary people in modern times are poor, it is a decent thing to bury them in coffins.
I'll talk to Brother Qiang, and I'll tell you what happened. After hearing this, Brother Qiang said, "Let's go, go to my house." ”
On the way, Diao Nan told us the story about this dragon pattern. I am a person who loves to listen to stories, but Diao Nan really can't tell stories, and he is obviously enthusiastic about things, so he tells them mediocre.
The Diao family has made a living by robbing tombs for generations. In the fifty-first year of Qianlong, the Diao family appeared as the first person in the past dynasties, Diao Chenwang.
Diao Chenwang is extremely intelligent, not only familiar with the books of sages, but also a master of the Diao family's generation of dragon finders. From the 53rd to the 59th year of Qianlong, Diao Chenwang donated a county order, and since then he has been making a county order in several counties in Lunan, Shandong. Diao Chenwang didn't make any political achievements, but in the past few years, he has turned over the ancient tombs in these counties, and with the skin of the county order, it can be said that he is completely unscrupulous.
In the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong, Diao Chenwang found an ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty, which was too big to fall on. When he needed to seek help from the family, he didn't expect that the Diao family would try their best to prevent him from touching this ancient tomb at this time, and if he dared to touch it, he would cut off his ancestral home and drive him out of the Diao family.
Diao Chenwang is not an obedient master, and he is thinking about going secretly, who can know? Unwilling to give up, he found one of his best friends. The two entered the ancient tomb together and stayed in it for nearly half a month. What happened in the past half a month no one knows. It's just that Diao Chenwang drew two dragon pattern maps to record the location of this ancient tomb, and the one in our hand is the one in the hand of Diao Chenwang's close friend.
Since then, Diao Chenwang has been stripped of his ancestral home by the Diao family, and he has also resigned from his official position, and he will no longer rob tombs. But a series of strange things happened to him.
There is a fragrance on the body, although there are no side effects, but the temperament has changed greatly, and he bites people when he sees them in his later years, and even then he has lived for more than a hundred years.
After coming back, Diao Chenwang ordered someone to make two iron coffins and arranged for someone to send one to his best friend, but he didn't expect that person to accept it happily. The two have never seen each other since, and it seems that they are using an iron coffin to persuade themselves.
A man from a family of tomb robbers actually became his own small landlord with peace of mind, and with his ability to risk being cut off his ancestral home to visit the ancient tomb, he knew that this was not a fuel-efficient lamp. is such a person, in the second half of his life, he really never fights, and he doesn't look for points for others.
Diao Chenwang's descendants no longer robbed tombs. It is said that the golden antiques of the troubled times, after the reform and opening up, the Diao family returned to the old business. But Diao Chenwang's descendants have declined, and now Diao Chenwang's descendants are only Diao Nan alone.
Diao Nan sighed, he couldn't read the dragon pattern, maybe the two could be found together.
Diao Nan lives in a remote mountain village, the courtyard is not small, and there are three mansions. Diao Nan said that his family had been subjected to inhuman abuse in the sixties and seventies, but fortunately, the ancestral home was saved.
Brother Qiang was a soldier and experienced that period, so he asked curiously, "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, your house was not confiscated?"
Diao Nan smiled strangely, "That's because this is a ghost house, and no one wants to live there." Only the Diao family can live here, and the people who live in it have all died mysteriously. ”
By this time it was already dark, and I shivered. Diao Nan's words are a bit infiltrating, so wouldn't we have to die mysteriously if we live in today?" "Then we're okay, this house is a bully, I hope to be good friends with it." ”
Diao Nan took out a few tools from a side room, and Brother Qiang glanced at it, "Who are you going to dump?"
Diao Nan lit two candles, knelt on the ground again, and started to pry up the bluestone bricks on the ground.
The three of them struggled for half a night, and the sapper shovel plunged into the dirt with a screeching grinding sound. It didn't take long for an iron coffin to appear in front of the three of them.
I think back to the experience of that night, with my two legs on my scoop, hiding on top of a mud puddle. Diao Nan knelt on top of the iron coffin and kowtowed a few times. I thought to myself, "This knock is like knocking on the door." ”
Pick up the pickaxe and lift the lid to a corner. Brother Qiang took the handle and flipped the iron cover to the side.
The lights were on in the courtyard, and although the pit was in the shadows, I could see the situation inside the iron coffin. With a bruised face and teeth an inch long, if it weren't for the Qing Dynasty official uniform, I would have thought that this was the one we cremated that night.
A strange fragrance came, and although I hadn't smelled it a few times, it was remembered in the depths of my soul.
Brother Qiang stood aside in a daze, "Xiongpaw, you are very unfilial, what kind of treasure do I still bury in your yard, this is the ancestor Diao Chenwang you said? ”
Diao Nan chuckled, "What is filial piety? Actually, I should be like what you did, put a fire, and let him get rid of it is the best." Now he says whether he is dead or not, and he is right for me to lie down and let him bite me to death?"
I gasped, what do you mean by dying or not dying, can Diao Chenwang also get up and go out for a walk?
At this time, Brother Qiang suddenly ran to my side, and I clearly saw Diao Chenwang in the iron coffin moving.
Diao Nan knelt there and whispered something. Diao Chenwang was excited for a while, and calm for a while. At this time, I realized that Diao Chenwang had a piece of yellow paper on his chest, and some blood-red handwriting was drawn on the yellow paper. This lightly thin piece of paper, like a mountain, suppressed Diao Chenwang.
The faster Diao Nan spoke, the more excited Diao Chenwang became, and the trembling became more and more intense. I watched from the top of the pit, my heart rose to my throat, and my palms were full of sweat.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt like a century was long, and Diao Chenwang finally didn't move. Diao Nan quickly took out a small purse from the iron coffin, and then closed the iron lid with a "clang".
"Bear paw, you are not afraid to scare your grandfather and make such a big effort. Seeing Diao Nan jump to the edge of the pit and turn over the soil, Brother Qiang stepped forward to take his hand. It is very laborious to dig, but it is much easier to fill the pit.
As soon as the soil was loosened, it seemed a lot more, and finally it became a small mound, Diao Nanquan was the grave, and he lit a few pillars of incense and kowtowed.
"Bear Paw, what do you say to your grandfather, it seems quite speculative, although the process seems unpleasant, but the result is very happy. Brother Qiang saw Diao Nan's face blue and patted him on the shoulder.
Diao Nan patted the mud on his body, picked up his tools, and said without looking back, "This is corpse language, ancestral." If you want to learn, you have to recognize me as a godfather. ”
I was stunned and said with a smile, "I heard the old man say that if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you are not afraid to go all over the world." Now I understand the importance of a foreign language. I don't know which university offers this course. ”
Diao Nan let us in, and the old house, which had not been inhabited for more than eight years, had fallen a thick layer of dust. Brother Qiang exchanged glances with me, and Brother Qiang said, "Xiongpaw, let's meet again after a long time today, I have to pick you up and wash away the bad luck inside." Let's go, let's have a drink. ”
Diao Nan opened the small purse, took out a piece of silk, opened it and saw that it was exactly the same as ours, almost identical.
Diao Nan was a little excited, "How can this be ......?"
