Chapter 68 The Black Lacquer Coffin
Team Zhang's deputy face changed and he immediately stopped it, "What nonsense! What old god is Mr. Zhuo, old doctor Zhuo!" Team Zhang's words were not that they did not admit their grandfather's ability, but that they were really for the sake of their grandfather. If the reputation of Grandpa Zhuo's old god spread, they would be labeled as a feudal superstition and criticized. Maybe Team Zhang's deputy himself would be implicated.
Hearing the words of Team Zhang, the person who came nodded and quickly changed his words, "Please take a look at Mr. Zhuo. The place where the trees were cut yesterday, someone went over to see this morning and saw that the small mound was actually cracked! There was one in there..."
"What's there? Tell me fuckingly!" Deputy Captain Zhang cursed anxiously.
The man calmed down and continued, "In that mound, a coffin was exposed!"
"Ah?!" Deputy Captain Zhang was also shocked and turned around and was about to go into the house to find his grandfather.
But grandpa was so smart and clear-headed that he had heard the conversation between the two in the house. Before Team Team Secretary Zhang could enter the house, grandpa had already walked out.
Deputy Team Zhang and his grandfather hurried to the location of the small mound. Some villagers had gathered on the small mound. Grandpa separated and looked forward. Sure enough, a huge hole was cracked under the stump left of the locust tree. The huge roots of the big locust tree were crisscrossed in the cracks. Through these tangled roots, Grandpa saw a hole under the roots of the tree, and there was a large coffin inside the hole. What made Grandpa feel uneasy was that the coffin was all black.
Regarding the color of the coffin, many books describe how terrifying the red painted coffin is. In fact, it may have something to do with the region. In the local area, the red painted coffin is used for the funeral of elderly people who have died of illness and death without illness. The white painted coffin is used for young people and unmarried women. The black painted coffin is used for people who die of illness, death or suicide, etc.
If the black-painted coffin in the cave under your feet is an abnormal death, it is very likely that the person's resentment will accumulate before his death. In addition, this is a place where yin energy gathers, so the possibility of corpses here is extremely high.
Seeing this situation, my grandfather sighed lightly. Fortunately, the tomb has not been formed for a long time, which is only a hundred years ago. Even if there is a corpse, I can still deal with it. My grandfather gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Today I will abandon you as a disaster!"
This place where yin energy gathers, also known as the corpse raising site, is a place where corpses are easily transformed. The corpses in this place have different time to place and the degree of corpses change. I still remember that the second uncle encountered the Xuewuzhen corpse coffin, which was obviously much more evil than the one grandfather encountered. The Xuewuzhen corpse coffin killed many people overnight, and this black-lacquered coffin was not yet at that level.
Grandpa turned around and said to Deputy Captain Zhang: "The following thing is very dangerous. If it is not solved, it will harm people one day!"
At this time, the deputy teammate Zhang was not only the deputy teammate Zhang, but also all the other villagers obeyed their grandfather's words and believed them from the bottom of their hearts.
Hearing grandpa say this, Teammate Zhang said, "Do you want me to find a few buckets of gasoline to pour it down and ignite it with a torch?"
Grandpa shook his head, "No, the mechanism below the hole may collapse as soon as it burns. When the hole collapses, the fire will be destroyed. The coffin will be buried again, and it will be difficult to dig again. And it may be possible to burn it, and it may not necessarily be eradicated."
Deputy Captain Zhang nodded, "Then what do you think you should do? We all listen to you."
Grandpa thought for a moment that the yin energy had accumulated in the underground for hundreds of years. If the corpse in the coffin changed, then it would be like a fish in water in this cave.
Grandpa made up his mind and said to Deputy Captain Zhang: "No matter what, let's hang the coffin first! This kind of thing is shameless. Put it in the sun. Even if it can't be destroyed, it can't do evil."
"Okay!" Teammate Zhang nodded, turned around and said to the villagers watching around, "Hey, is Sankui here? Are you there? Are you not here?" Then he pointed to a half-year-old child and said, "I said Xiao Shuanzi, go back to the village and call your Uncle Sankui here! Go quickly! Hey! "As hey!" As he said, Teammate Zhang called Xiao Shuanzi again, who was about to run away, "Little Shuanzi! I'll tell you! Don't come back later. The little kid is joining in the fun, be careful to lose his soul! Remember not!"
The child named Xiao Shuanzi responded and turned to the village. Deputy Teammate Zhang told his grandfather that these Sankui were a bachelor in the village. In his early years, he followed the engineering team to open mountains and build roads in the west. He often asked those up and down the mountain to use ropes to pass things, so he practiced a skill in hanging things with ropes. How accurate is this guy to put ropes? Last year, he used a rope to squat on the wall of Widow Li's house, and used a rope to pass through the window to steal the woman's underwear on the bed. If someone hadn't seen it by passing by, Widow Li wouldn't know how to throw his clothes until he died. Hearing the "glorious history" of these Sankui, Grandpa also smiled and shook his head.
After a while, a tall bald man rushed over, walked to the side of Deputy Team Zhang, smiled and said, "Deputy Team, what are you asking for me?"
Deputy Captain Zhang pointed to the coffin placed in the hole in the crack, "You use a rope to cover the coffin below, and I will find someone to hang it up later."
Sankui leaned his head down and looked down, "My God, there is such a strange thing! However, the team deputy, such a big thing is still so deep, I'm afraid I can't trap it! This is too difficult!" Sankui smiled bitterly and said to the team deputy Zhang.
Deputy Team Zhang gave him a blank look, "It's hard! How difficult is it? Is it difficult to stand on the wall to put on women's underwear?!" As Deputy Team Zhang said this, Sankui's face turned red and said that it was not the case.
Team Vice President Zhang continued, "Sankui, let me tell you, I haven't settled the accounts last year with you! If you do this today, I will not only let you down, but I will also double the amount of work points for you today! Otherwise..."
When Sankui heard what Teammate Zhang said, his eyes lit up, "Partner, keep your word! Then I'll try it! But you have to find a few people for me to help."
Deputy Team Zhang nodded immediately, "No problem!" Then he said to the villagers around him, "Hey, here are a few guys!" However, people always have some fear of this kind of thing, so Deputy Team Zhang's words received a positive response, and no one really stood up. However, when he saw this scene, Deputy Team Zhang was not panicked, as if he had expected this situation, "Everyone listen! Those who participated today are all counted as work points, and they are doubled! Is there anyone?"
Team 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 that era, labor points were the lives of villagers and members. The family relied on the labor points earned by the production team to make a living. Earning more labor points means getting more food.
Sankui and his men first cut off some locust tree roots at the edge of the crack, saw off the roots of those that could not be cut, cleared out the crack exit, then built a winch rack, and then Sankui pulled a long rope into a circle and tied a slip knot. He aimed at the position of the coffin, stretched out his hand and threw it out with force. The rope cover was like eyes, hanging it at one end of the coffin.
Sankui tied two steel hooks with a rope and slowly put them down, just hooking the outer edge of one end of the coffin. A few young men pulled it on it, and one end of the coffin was raised. Sankui took the opportunity to pull it hard, and the rope circle suddenly wrapped around one end of the coffin. The other end of the coffin was also done in the same way. In less than an hour, the two hemp ropes had tied the coffin below firmly.
Everything was ready, and grandfather began to command everyone to hang coffins on the ground. During this period, grandfather always had a question in his mind, that is, the words that the child of Teammate Zhang kept saying in a coma were definitely not like the child's nonsense, it must have really appeared. But where was the eyes raised by the child?
As the coffin was hung onto the ground, everyone became nervous, and grandpa's expression became solemn. Grandpa stepped forward and looked at the coffin. His face changed at that time, because he clearly saw that there were sixteen iron nails nailed on the lid of the coffin, but at this time the iron nails were completely decayed.
Grandpa nodded and said to himself: "No wonder you can come out to harm others!"
Team Deputy Zhang, who had already retreated, came over again at this time, "What are you, Mr. Zhuo? Is there anything wrong?"
Grandpa pointed to the sixteen iron nails on the lid of the coffin and said, "When I was studying medicine in the early years, I heard that this was called the sixteen clavicle stings! It was specially used to suppress evil corpses. These sixteen iron nails passed through the lid of the coffin and nailed them into the sixteen large holes of the corpse to prevent the corpse from changing and escaping from doing evil. Unfortunately, the iron nails were rotten, so the things in it could harm people."
After hearing grandpa's words, Team Leader Zhang was a little panicked and quickly asked his grandpa what to do next. Grandpa circled around the coffin and asked him to prepare some one-meter-long steel bars and smashed the tips on the end. Team Leader Zhang asked, "I don't know how much to use?"
Grandpa knew that this kind of thing might be difficult to find and could not force it, so he told Teammate Zhang to try to prepare as much as possible, the more the better.
When Captain Zhang heard this, he laughed and said, "Mr. Zhuo, you don't know. Many years ago, during the period of steelmaking, the village built a soil steelmaking furnace. The other ones were not refined. A lot of earth steel bars were poured out. There are still several large bundles in the backyard of the village committee."
When my grandfather heard this, he was overjoyed and asked him to prepare quickly. The more he was, the better.
The next thing is the key thing - opening the coffin! At this time, it is not something that many people can do, so grandfather asked everyone else to step back, picked up a crowbar, inserted it into the gap in the coffin lid, and pried it hard. With a creaking sound, the coffin lid was raised to a corner. Fortunately, the sixteen iron nails on it had rotted and broken, otherwise the coffin lid could not be opened at all, unless the coffin was disassembled.
But what grandfather 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. Then, the coffin lid was lifted up by itself, and a dark gap was revealed with the coffin. Grandpa was shocked, but it did not appear. Grandpa frowned, then bent down and looked into the gap under the coffin lid. Then the light outside saw two small white balls inside.
Grandpa's heart moved, and then he looked inside again. When he looked, Grandpa felt a chill on his back, because this time he saw it clearly that it was not a white ball at all, but two white eyelids looking at him from the coffin!
