Seeing Xu San's method of asking for directions by throwing stones, Jin An suddenly felt emotion in his eyes.
He thought of the scene when he first met the old Taoist priest. The Lin family's coffin bearer encountered the coffin falling to the ground, and the old Taoist priest who presided over the ceremony also used this trick.
At that time, it was a sign of great misfortune, two short and one long.
Only later did the old Taoist priest come to him to carry the coffin, saying that his destiny was unprecedented and unmatched, and then the two of them walked up to the present through ups and downs.
It was precisely because of this opportunity that Jin An became particularly interested in the question in front of him and watched it intently.
But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. The incense stick used to throw stones to ask for directions did not burn out two short and one long, nor did it break directly in the middle, but actually retracted directly into the coffin!
When Xu San saw that something was wrong, it was too late to reach out and grab the incense stick. The incense stick had been swallowed up by the coffin. This made the deputy chiefs and earthworkers present change their expressions, and everyone's expressions became ugly.
Even a fool can see that the person in the coffin is not a kind person.
Xu San gritted his teeth, lit the second incense stick, and inserted it into the coffin again. The result was still the same, and he shrank into the coffin.
"this……"
"Xu San, what is going on?" The deputy leader and others looked over in shock.
Xu San frowned and paced back and forth in front of the coffin: "I originally wanted to test how ferocious the dead man in this coffin is. It requires so many methods to suppress the corpse, so that I can prepare countermeasures in advance."
The geotechnical major disciple said nervously: "Third brother, do you mean we won't open the coffin?"
Unexpectedly, Xu San looked at the small coffin coldly, snorted and said: "Of course I have to continue opening the coffin. Although there was a little accident, it does not hinder my determination to open the coffin and see what is going on."
"I lit incense just to test it. No matter what the final outcome is, even if I encounter the worst situation, I will have a way to deal with it."
Having said this, Xu San asked the logistics staff to find the leader and bring him the pile of things he had prepared.
These logistics personnel were all powerful and agile, and they quickly fetched the things Xu San had prepared in advance.
"Originally I thought I wouldn't use these things because it was inconvenient to carry them around, so I left them outside. Fortunately, I brought these things." Xu Shao counted the items and said happily.
Among them, the most bulky one is the hemp rope net for tying the corpse. It weighs over a hundred kilograms, and it is a bit difficult for two people to carry it.
Xu San began to make plans to open the coffin.
In fact, his plan was very simple. He, the deputy leader, a geotechnical engineer, and a geotechnical major disciple would open the coffin later, and then let the logistics staff support the bamboo poles to prop up the hemp rope net for tying the body. When the coffin lid was opened,
Remove the bamboo poles and let the hemp rope net bag cover the entire small coffin.
This bundle of corpse hemp rope netting has been with him for many years and is one of his most prized magical tools. It was first soaked in tung oil and then exposed to the sun for a hundred days, then soaked in cinnabar and then exposed to the sun for a hundred days. Finally, it was placed in a Taoist temple to be consecrated for a few years.
It finally took him several years of hard work to refine it, and the net ropes were hung with evil charms. Moreover, every Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of September, and the first day of the new year are the most yang-filled days in the world.
Sometimes, he would expose it to the sun. It can be said that the hemp rope net for tying corpses has put a lot of effort and energy into it, absorbing enough yang energy, and has a miraculous effect on dealing with those unclean things or fake corpses.
The only drawback is that it is a bit bulky and difficult to carry.
"We have a few coffin nails for each of us. If a dead person comes out of the coffin pretending to be a corpse, we will drive these coffin nails into all the joints of the coffin while it is trapped in my corpse net and cannot get out.
"Xu San said these words to the three people who were waiting to open the coffin with him. At the same time, he told them to cover their mouths and noses with pieces of cloth to prevent the living person's yang energy from spitting into the dead body and causing the corpse to be deceived.
Everything is ready, just open the coffin.
Xu San carefully put away those golden ink threads, not leaving any of them behind. According to what he said, these are all good things. In the eyes of ordinary people, at most they are smelted into gold jewelry, but in the eyes of practitioners,
, these golden ink pipe threads are rare magic tools to ward off evil spirits.
After putting away the golden ink fountain line, winter!
winter!
A crowbar or shovel was used to dig into the coffin lid, and while the mouth and nose were covered with a piece of cloth, the coffin lid was gradually pried open amidst the chants of one, two, and three.
No matter how firmly the nails were nailed, the coffin could not withstand the prying efforts of four grown men. The gap in the coffin lid became wider and wider. Xu San shouted in a low voice: "Get ready!"
The logistics staff immediately looked nervous, staring at the small coffin without blinking, and would lower the hemp rope net for tying the corpse if necessary.
Bang!
The coffin lid hit the ground heavily, and wheeze, a strong wind blew out from the coffin.
Xu San and others quickly retreated, and the hemp rope net for tying the corpse accurately fell on the coffin, covering the whole coffin.
Unexpectedly, everything was calm in the coffin, and there was no corpse-like appearance as expected.
Xu San, the first officer and the others looked at each other, then cautiously approached the coffin, their collective expressions changed slightly.
There was no corpse in the small coffin, not to mention the body of the general's heir, let alone the burial objects. The coffin was empty, and there was a tunnel underneath that led all the way to the depths of the ground.
The tunnel was dark and the specific scene underneath could not be seen.
"What's going on? The left hall is the same as the right hall. Is it a cenotaph?" The earthworker stood in front of the coffin with an ugly face.
The deputy said in a hissing voice: "Could it be that the things inside were so violent that they dug through the bottom of the coffin and tunneled out? Perhaps this is the only way to explain why the whereabouts of the earlier group of tomb robbers are unknown."
Xu San was brave enough to be an expert. He jumped directly into the coffin, carefully inspected the walls of the tunnel, and then solemnly shook his head and said: "These stone walls don't look like they were dug with fingernails. They should be naturally formed."
Naturally formed?
The deputy chief and the earthworker carefully examined it together, and found that it really seemed to be naturally formed. The rocks were rugged, the rock formations were uneven, and there was no trace of a fingernail.
Several people looked at each other. The tomb of the Warring States general made them feel even more confusing and full of mystery. The husband and wife were buried together in the tomb, but there was only the wife's tomb, and there was an empty coffin here for the children. The coffin was not used to bury the children, but to seal a dark wind.
A series of tunnels.
There are also those early tomb robbers who disappeared without knowing their life or death, which makes them nervous all the time.
Is this really the tomb of an ordinary general? The suspense is one after another, interlocking with each other, and there is weirdness and mystery everywhere.
At this time, even Jin An also became very interested in the tomb of the Warring States general. He crowded with the deputy chief and others and looked at the tunnel in the coffin with great interest.
The major geotechnical student standing next to Jin An suddenly put his hands on his shoulders and rubbed them together: "These cold winds are making my skin crawl. Master, why do I feel that the temperature around me is getting lower?"
