Chapter 017: Seven Star Coffin
Mr. Li nodded and said that this land was indeed strange, and he walked while talking.
It was not easy for him to take down this piece of land, so he wanted to develop it as soon as possible. The preliminary project exploration and design were all very smooth.
Mr. Li was so happy that he wanted to develop this land and make a vote. But unexpectedly, a few days after the earth excavation started, something happened, and the excavator driver died inexplicably at the excavation site.
Later, based on the on-site construction monitoring, I found that the excavator dug a few meters down, as if he had dug a water pipe. Red water kept coming out from the ground.
The master who drove the excavator didn't care at first, but the water surged up quickly.
He realized that the water pipe might have been dug, and then went down to check it. But unexpectedly, when he got off the excavator, the red water suddenly surged up.
The driver struggled for a long time and finally drowned. The blood also faded away at a very fast speed, leaving only a drowning excavator driver. If the scene had not been recorded by surveillance, no one would have guessed the driver's death.
After Mr. Li learned about the incident, he called the police. However, the police had never seen such a strange case and joined forces with experts from the Geological Bureau and the Exploration Bureau.
The conclusion they gave was that it might have dug up the spring of groundwater...
However, this conclusion obviously cannot convince Mr. Li. Mr. Li hired some masters and practiced them.
But the masters in this society are all scammers. After the practice was over, the project continued to start.
However, the drivers who died in three consecutive excavators died, and the deaths were the same.
In this way, the project was also stopped. Mr. Li invested too much effort in this project. Every day he delayed, he would throw money in the water for nothing.
While we were talking, we arrived at the crime scene that Mr. Li mentioned.
Several excavators stopped aside. The excavators dug about 200 square meters and about 3 meters down.
Song Zhaolin walked down the ladder set up by artificially. I hurriedly followed.
Duan Qingyi also wanted to follow, but was stopped by two bodyguards. "Miss Duan, just wait on it."
Originally, she was trying to come down, but when I said this, she pouted and said aggrievedly.
I don’t know why she sticks to me so much, but I also feel familiar with Duan Qingyi.
"Old Feng...What kind of ecstasy soup did you give Miss Duan? Why is she so mini? "Song Zhaolin asked me as he walked down.
I shook my head and said, "Do nothing."
"You won't give her a love spree, right?" Song Zhaolin asked in a humble manner.
"Get out, I'm talking nonsense, I'll kick you." I said to Song Zhaolin with anger.
After Song Zhaolin smirked a few times, he stopped talking about this issue.
When I walked into this pit, I smelled a faint smell of blood. I glanced at Song Zhaolin and Mr. Li and asked if they could smell anything.
They looked at me strangely, told me no, and asked me what I smelled.
I said I could smell a bloody smell. The two of them sucked it hard a few times, obviously not smelling it either.
Song Zhaolin took out something that looked like a compass from his bag and walked along with the compass.
The pointer on the compass kept turning, and finally walked to a place and stopped.
I also stopped because the smell of blood here is indeed much stronger than the ones next to me. Although I don’t know why, only I can smell this faint smell of blood.
Song Zhaolin said to Mr. Li, "Mr. Li, go up. The yin energy here is very strong. If you stay for a long time, you may get sick. After you go up, find some workers born in the year of the tiger and ask them to come down with shovels."
Mr. Li nodded repeatedly and turned around and left.
I originally wanted to follow me, but Song Zhaolin didn't let me go. I told him that I am not a tiger either.
He said, I am fine. Then a trace of expression flashed across his face and he hugged my shoulder and said.
"Old Feng, you are really lucky. This place should be a corpse-raising site. If I guess correctly, there are many dead people buried under it. If you have good luck, you can really find evil pills here."
After saying that, he squatted on the ground and started working hard. He took out a little white rice from the cloth bag and sprinkled it into a circle.
At this time, eight workers also took shovels down.
"Masters, you are all tigers." Song Zhaolin still confirmed with these workers.
Several workers nodded and said yes, and Song Zhaolin gave several workers a talisman each, asking them to start digging.
The workers started digging with shovels, and they were very fast.
"Boss...it seems to have been dug something." A worker suddenly stopped and said to Song Zhaolin.
We hurriedly went up to see and found that we had indeed dug something. "Several masters, please dig it up now and be careful and dig it slowly."
A few minutes later, a coffin was indeed dug out.
This coffin is very large and exquisite. It depends on the material and shape. As well as the degree of decay of the coffin, it is not like the coffin of our era.
Apart from digging the coffin, the few workers looked very good. We only found out later that Mr. Li had also invested a lot in order to get these people down.
He promised these workers that if they came up safely, they would give each of them 10,000 yuan. If something happened, he would give each of them one million yuan in pensions.
After signing an agreement with these workers, these workers dared to come down. Despite this, they just wanted to earn ten thousand yuan... and then go back safely.
Song Zhaolin wandered around the coffin, with a hint of shock on his face muttering to himself, "This is a seven-star coffin."
"What is a seven-star coffin?" I asked him in wonder.
He explained to me that the Seven Star Coffin was a unique coffin in the early Qing Dynasty. The material of the coffin was rarely made of copper, and there was a layer of top-grade wood wrapped on the outside.
The reason why the seven-star coffin is unique is that there are seven evil stars engraved on the outside of the copper coffin. The seven evil stars are arranged in the same order, forming a sealed formation. It is said that there was a punishment that was to beheaded and put into the seven-star coffin for burial.
The souls of those who are buried in the seven-star coffin will be in the seven-star coffin and will never be reborn.
"What do you mean is that this coffin has hundreds of years of history?" I looked at the coffin in front of me with some disbelief.
Although it is a bit old, ordinary coffins are already rotten even after decades of burying them.
"You guy's luck is really good. I see that the bloody water before was caused by this seven-star coffin. There are evil pills in it." Song Zhaolin said excitedly.
As he said that, Song Zhaolin asked several workers to open the coffin. However, when they heard that they were going to open the coffin, they were unwilling to do so.
"Two bosses, you are good. It is not easy for us to earn some hard work. There are old people above and young people below..." Several workers knelt down at us with a thump.
Looking at the people who were over 20 years older than us, kneeling on us with tears and snot. Song Zhaolin and I quickly helped them up.
"I just said casually, then you have tools, right? Get me a pry stick and Lao Feng and I will open the coffin."
Of course, I had no reason to refuse, because Song Zhaolin came to help me this time. When he heard that they didn't have to open the coffin, the workers burst into tears and laughed in an instant.
One by one, they rushed out of the pit to find tools to open the coffin. After a while, a crowbar, a hammer, and even a worker came over with a diesel chainsaw, which made me smile bitterly.
Song Zhaolin took two crowbars, handed me one, followed the mouth of the coffin, and started prying it up.
This coffin was not as difficult as I thought. It took less time to open the lid of the coffin.
I asked Song Zhaolin if he should be careful. If the corpse inside turns into a zombie, we can't deal with it.
Song Zhaolin told me, how could this coffin be opened so easily... As expected, what we pried open was a layer of wooden coffin outside.
Removed the wood wrapped in the coffin, and a copper-brown-yellow coffin was revealed.
The coffin was indeed engraved with patterns that were the same as those outside. I walked around the coffin, but found that the crowbar in my hand was completely out of reach.
This coffin is so tight that there is no gap...
After looking at it for a while, Song Zhaolin asked us to go up. Why? He told me that the seven-star coffin could not be opened during the day and could only wait for the night. And even if we can open it now, we can't deal with the things inside.
He said it was easy, but a trace of cold sweat rose from my spine. Is there really something like zombies?
However, the coffin was very quiet at this time, without any other sounds, and it didn't look like a zombie.
Song Zhaolin seemed to see through my thoughts and said to me, "Old Feng, zombies are divided into artificial breeding and natural formation."
"Artificial breeding refers to some corpse-driven people. This kind of refined zombies is not powerful enough. It is one-tenth of naturally formed..."
"The conditions for naturally formed zombies are very harsh. One of the necessary conditions is to keep corpses, and the other is to have resentment before death. If the above two points are met, there is only a 30% chance that the corpse will turn into zombies."
"Then according to what you said, there may not be zombies here, right?" I said to Song Zhaolin.
"I said this is an ordinary situation. If the corpse is buried in the seven-star coffin, after meeting the two conditions, as long as the coffin is opened, the yang energy and the yin energy in the corpse will be mixed. One hundred percent will be deceiving the corpse." Song Zhaolin said to me very surely.
As he said that we must first buy some things to deal with zombies. Then prepare more talisman paper, and you must be 100% sure to open the coffin.
Otherwise, even if the coffin is opened, it will only harm people. As we said that, we both went up.
Song Zhaolin briefly told Mr. Li about the situation here. He asked Mr. Li to find someone to get the coffin up, and wrote a long list of things to buy for Mr. Li.
When Mr. Li saw Song Zhaolin, he easily found a coffin. Naturally, he was so impressed that he immediately found someone to start working.
Song Zhaolin asked me to supervise them on the spot to get the coffin up, but he ran aside, took out the yellow paper, and then focused on writing and painting on it.
Until the evening, Song Zhaolin had already drawn dozens of talisman papers and prepared 100 kilograms of glutinous rice, soaked in black dog blood.
After all the considerations and preparations, the sky was completely dark. At this moment, the moonlight slowly sprinkled on the coffin.
The coffin has indeed changed, and the moonlight shone on the coffin. The coffin, which originally had no gap, instantly appeared in a gap.
