The hottest city impression of Liucheng in recent years is snail noodles.

This kind of smelly and fragrant food has been recognized by the majority of netizens, and even invented various strange ways to eat, such as milk snail noodles, beer snail noodles, stinky tofu snail noodles......

The second is the chopped pepper fish head Mini modified with body textures all over the street.

However, before this, Liucheng was most famous for the coffins produced here.

The coffins of Liucheng are famous for their outstanding quality, firm wood, tough and light, no insects and ants, and a long history.

Therefore, there has always been a saying among the people that "died in Liucheng".

Many people come to Liucheng to travel, in addition to eating local snail noodles, they will also go to the handicraft point to buy a small coffin pendant.

It means to be promoted to become rich.

When someone dies in an ordinary family, at most a thin coffin is buried, or even wrapped in a straw mat and buried directly.

But the big families don't.

In addition to beating gongs and drums, wearing linen and wearing filial piety, the most important thing is to find a good feng shui treasure land, as well as a high-quality coffin that can preserve the body.

Before cremation was introduced, the ancients saw strict requirements for the integrity of the body and tried to preserve the body of the deceased.

Therefore, there are strict requirements for the airtightness of the coffin, in order to prevent insect and ant corrosion.

They believe that in this way, the ancestors are underground and can continue to protect the descendants of the family.

The real Liucheng coffin is usually made of oil sand fir wood, which is born on the cliffs of the deep mountains in the dense forest, and it is difficult to grow in a hundred years. When you enter the water, you will sink, and it will be difficult to perish, and the fragrance will be like the cypress, and the color will be like bronze.

Modern pines and cypresses are used to imply evergreen, and those who are rich can use catalpa wood and nanmu.

After making the coffin, it is brushed with cooked tung oil or lacquer several degrees, the quality is high-quality, and the four pieces of the upper and lower left and right are completely a whole piece of wood in one go, and there is no need to put it together.

Historically, after the death of a major general in the early Republic of China, his family spent 2,000 oceans, equivalent to 2 million now, to prepare a coffin that can be called the most expensive in the history of Liucheng. It weighs more than 1,000 kilograms alone, and the head and tail are engraved with double dragons playing with beads and five prisoners holding longevity reliefs.

It was a sensation.

Of course, life and death are important matters for human beings, and it is understandable to be cautious.

But if it's not well buried, it's not a small problem.

……

Liucheng is rich in coffins, so naturally there are few coffin shops.

After entering the new era, due to the implementation of cremation by the Daxia government, there are fewer people buying coffins, and many coffin shops have begun to sell other funeral supplies.

In many parts of the countryside, burial customs are still preserved.

Therefore, although the number of coffin shops has decreased sharply, there are still some coffins.

It's just that most of today's coffin shops are open on the outskirts of the city.

After all, modern people are more taboo about this kind of thing, open in the city, surrounded by residential areas, often complained by residents, one or two come and go, and the store is also annoying. Simply drive to the suburbs near the national highway, and if you want to buy a coffin, it is also convenient to come from the city.

Qin Huanghuang, 56 years old this year, runs a coffin shop inherited from his father.

Be both a craftsman and a boss.

The coffin shop belongs to the funeral industry, and it is inevitable to deal with people from all walks of life, so there are many taboos.

Qin Huanghuang always adheres to the various rules handed down by his Lao Tzu.

For example, the door is closed before dark, for example, customers who don't know their roots and feet are not sold, coffins are picked up, and so on.

To believe, the reason for these rules is that something must have happened.

Just as funeral homes don't allow employees to be alone at night, it's important to make sure that the companion is the person.

In addition, there are three rules in the coffin industry, and in these three situations, the coffin maker is not willing to hit the coffin.

One is that the wicked do not fight,

The second is that children don't fight,

The third is that he died unexpectedly on his wedding day.

Because the coffin carpenter, like the ordinary carpenter, is from Bailuban, in their opinion, the wicked do evil in this life, and after death, they will go to hell, and the coffin of the wicked is a kind of aiding and abetting, and it will damage the yin virtue.

When a child dies, it is easy to get angry and not fight.

The death of a newlywed is a big murderer and cannot be beaten.

If the family members of these people want to buy coffins, they can only buy ready-made ones in a hurry, and they also have to give the coffin maker an additional sum of money, commonly known as Chongxi.

……

On this day, a customer came to Qin Huanghuang's store.

is a big brother who looks a few years older than him, named Huang Ying, who said that the old mother in the family is old, and she has not been in good health recently, and she is afraid of accidents, so she wants to prepare a coffin in advance.

As soon as he heard that the other party was from the nearby Pogao Village, Qin Huanghuang agreed.

Huang Ying chose cypress wood, and asked for a hundred longevity pictures to be engraved on it and painted with red paint, because his mother was eighty and three, which could be called a happy funeral.

Qin Huanghuang wrote down all the data, the other party paid the deposit, and he started working.

This situation requires a rush to work.

Because the custom here in Liucheng is to make coffins as much as possible when people are alive, and to make coffins for the dead, which is not an auspicious life.

But even if it is expedited, it will take four or five days to get it done.

Fortunately, this time it went smoothly too.

On the fifth day, after he made the coffin, he notified Huang Ying to come and pick it up.

Huang Ying brought two juniors over this time, and the four of them worked together to carry the coffin onto the tricycle, paid the final payment, and left in a hurry.

Seeing them leave, Qin Huanghuang sighed slightly, shook his head and walked back to the house.

In fact, doing this business, life and death have long been accustomed to such things.

Life and death have a share, and you don't need to urge sooner or later.

……

Coincidentally.

Just as Huang Ying pulled the coffin home, the old mother couldn't hold on.

A large family suddenly cried, those who should go to the funeral should report the funeral, those who should help change the longevity clothes help to change the longevity clothes, and those who should go to the spiritual position should do the spiritual position......

The coffin that had just been pulled back was placed in the middle of the mourning hall.

The old man who had changed into a shroud was picked up by his eldest son Huang Ying and younger brother Huang Jun and put him in the coffin. Then put the incense card, light the lantern, sprinkle a layer of coins and copper coins on both sides, and some paper money was also stuffed in the hand.

Until the burial, the lantern cannot be extinguished.

The relatives in other places have notified them to rush back as soon as possible, but it also takes time, and there will definitely be no way to bury them today.

But in this weather, the body will not be parked for long.

What to do?

Huang Ying said, "Go to Longshan and invite that master to come!" ”

The master of Longshan, whose name is Gao Jingliang, has a unique skill called "Frozen Funeral Seal".

It is also called sealing the corpse.

That is, in the middle of summer, if someone dies, the Taoist priest can stop at the funeral hall for ten days and a half without any refrigeration equipment, without any refrigeration equipment, without rotting or smelling.

This is a hard skill, and it can't be faked.

The specific operation is to use a bowl of water to pour it on the coffin lid in the coffin, and neither the water nor the bowl can fall.

There is no principle to talk about, and asking is a trick of the rivers and lakes.

This spell is rarely used now, and he was fortunate enough to see the teacher of Longshan cast a spell, and he was shocked at that time.

The teacher, Gong Gao Jingliang, was soon invited over.

When he entered the door, he nodded slightly to Huang Ying and the others, and then stepped forward to take a look at the old lady lying peacefully in the coffin.

Turning his head and asking, "How many days will it be closed?" ”

After the Huang family exchanged their heads and ears, they said, "Including today's words, three days." ”

"Good!"

Gao Jingliang's words are concise and to the point.

The requirements vary depending on the duration. Three days is fine, he just needs to do it again on the third day.

If it is sealed for ten days and eight days, it is not impossible, but he has to come and re-administer the operation every two days to prevent accidents.

This corpse method is troublesome.

Without further ado, get started.

……

First of all, set up a case.

Display three animals, fruits, tea and wine, incense candles, paper money and other things, and then begin to chant the scriptures "please saint", invite all kinds of gods, please the ancestors of the past dynasties.

Gao Jingliang put on his teacher's uniform and stood in front of the desk and read the scriptures quietly.

"Luck the true incense again, and please wholeheartedly: Hao Hao Tianjing is a saint, the king of the underworld, the dragon palace of the surging water country, the scorching Yang Yuan Zhenzai, the three realms and four mansions, Bai Yiwan Lin, please come to the saint, and the merit of the alliance ......"

Although the ritual is different from the Zhengyi, it can still be seen that it has a strong Zhengyi style.

After that, it is time to throw a basket and ask for divination.

If the hexagram conforms to the meaning of the filial piety, it is allowed, and you can "turn wealth" into wealth.

Add tea and wine to the incense table, burn incense, and turn paper money into money to reward the gods and ancestors of the past dynasties.

Then the most crucial step is to create "holy water"!

It is also called "pure water", that is, the three fingers of the right hand hold the water bowl, draw a talisman on the cigarette smoke that is burning on the case, first pull the "Dadu Guan Jue", recite the "Snow Mountain Mantra", and then pull the "Two Patriarch Jue", take the snow gas from the five directions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest according to the hour, and blow seven mouths into the water each.

"The disciple raised his eyes to look at the five mountains, the snow gate of the Wuyin Mountain was opened, the Holy Mother of the Snow Mountain, and the boy of the Snow Mountain came down the mountain to ......"

While reciting the mantra, start to make a trick, move into a gang, and blow the water in the bowl three times.

After all the scriptures are recited, they are divided into four directions on the coffin in the order of the twelve hours, and 24 symbols are drawn in the four boxes.

This is called "spitting out the old and accepting the new".

It is to expel the filthy gas hidden in the internal organs of the corpse and infuse it with fresh gas.

Then recite the mantra and cast the mantra.

This is the most tedious process, which is extremely lengthy and requires patience. At the same time, a neat piece of fresh pork should be hung on top of the carcass.

This is called "God's carrion."

The bowl of holy water that was blessed with mana was placed in the coffin under the gaze of the Huang family.

It's really hanging upside down on the coffin lid, full of a bowl of water, and not a drop has dripped down!

Seeing this scene, the Huang family subconsciously gasped.

It was really cool, and at the moment when the water bowl was put up, a cold breath spread around the coffin as the center.

It's amazing!

Some young people who have received higher education have widened their eyes and feel that their three views have been strongly impacted.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, I'd really like to go up and see how it was done.

Gao Jingliang instructed: "Pay attention, no one is allowed to touch these two things, and they will be buried in three days, and I will come back then." ”

At that time, the meat and water will have to be disposed of before it is over.

After hearing this, the Huang family nodded hurriedly.

After sending the teacher away, arrange for someone to stay by the coffin to prevent accidents.

……

Mrs. Huang was a good person when she was alive, and the Huang family was prosperous, and there were many people who came to mourn and keep the spirit.

These three days have been very difficult for the Huang family, on the one hand, they have to bear the pain of bereavement, and on the other hand, they have to receive guests and maintain order.

Until the morning of the third day, Gao Jingliang arrived as promised.

Let the Huang family take one last look at the old lady, then chant a spell and pinch the trick, cast a spell to remove the carrion meat and holy water, splash the water outside the door, and throw the meat far away and throw it into the bamboo forest.

Then put a tied big rooster in it as a coffin, and close the lid of the coffin.

However, it was not nailed immediately, and it was not nailed with a seven-star nail until the time of burial.

The seven-star nail is often called the coffin nail, also called the descendant nail, which means the prosperity of the descendants.

The burial was not under Gao Jingliang's responsibility, so he didn't go.

Mrs. Huang is buried next to the reservoir in front of Po Cover Village, sitting on the mountain and watching the water, in the words of the feng shui master, it is a good treasure place.

It's a few excavators working not far away, and I don't know what they're digging, as if they want to build something here.

Greenhouses? Or a tin house?

The Huang family didn't care, after filling the grave with soil, burn more paper money, put two firecrackers, and it was over.

Huang Ying, whose hair had turned gray, knelt in front of the grave and wept silently.

If you want to see it again in the future, you can only come to see this lonely grave.

……

Next to the construction site.

Li Dongming, who was driving an excavator to dig the soil, saw that someone on the mountain next to him was carrying a coffin for funeral, and immediately frowned, and hurriedly lowered his eyelids: "Phew, bad luck!" ”

I heard that the boss is going to get a large chicken farm here, the kind of mountain free-range, the outermost periphery is fenced with iron nets, and is ready to make a brand of mountain and forest free-range chickens, it is said that people in big cities now like this, and one can only sell for hundreds of yuan!

"Tut-tut, the money of the people in the city is really easy to make."

It's different in the countryside, the same free-range free-range chickens are only a few dollars a catty, and when they are cheap, they even cost twenty or thirty yuan a piece.

Li Dongming was bored with mechanical work, and he didn't notice it at all, and under the continuous excavation of him and his colleagues, the terrain of the entire mountain has undergone some mysterious changes.

Feng Shui is a very subtle thing, and just a slight change in the terrain can have a completely different effect.

On the third day after the burial of the old lady of the Huang family, a strange thing happened.

Mrs. Huang's grave was dug up, and the coffin lid was lifted to the side. The corpse in the coffin was gone, leaving only the dried corpse of a chicken.

When the Huang family heard the news, they immediately fried the pot, filled with righteous indignation one by one, and threatened to catch the grave digger and steal the body, and they would definitely break the bones of the other party's body.

called the police, but when the people from the public security bureau came to see it, they came to a strange conclusion:

"This grave ...... It seems to have been dug out from the inside......"

What do you say?!

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then a cool air rushed from the soles of their feet to the heavenly spirit cover, in the summer, under the scorching sun, they couldn't stop the chill in their hearts.

Corpse fraud?

……

The truth is more serious than they think.

Time goes back a few hours ago.

At 4 o'clock in the morning of this day, in the command center of the Liucheng Civil Branch, the sudden alarm sound immediately attracted the attention of the staff on duty.

See the signal clearly, and subconsciously be a spirit.

It's weird!

"Report! A strange signal has been detected, numbered 0772079, energy level B, and is being located...... The location of the target is Po Hood Village, Liujiang District, please rush to the location to contain the comrades of the nearby tricksters! ”

Come to the mission in the middle of the night, it's really good!

The tricksters on duty glanced at each other, and they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, it's only a B grade.

A B-class trickster and a C-class trickster are named and arranged for them to set out to solve the problem.

However, when the two comrades of the Civil Bureau rushed to the location of the target, they saw a scene that stunned them.

Although the sky is not bright at this moment, the visibility is still not low, and I saw a short figure wearing a shroud with white hair squatting in the corner of the wall in the dim light.

The other party was surprised that someone was approaching, and the moment she turned back suddenly, the trickster saw her movements clearly.

The bright flashlight shone over, and I saw that the other party was holding a dog and gnawing, and the mouth with fangs was full of dirty blood.

"Zombies?!"

The two tricksters had such a word in their heads.

(12 o'clock is the little author's birthday, 30, nothing is done...... Cheeky begging for a monthly pass, there will be later. ）
