The six men below finally took out the scarlet coffin, stepped onto the horse path, slowly carried the coffin up, and placed it in front of Yao Chenggang and the others.
The six of us were huffing and puffing from exhaustion. It's not easy to make some money these days.
Zhang Yu, Master Jia, and Yao Chenggang stepped forward to observe. The coffin boards were nailed shut. Apart from the weird color, no other problems could be seen.
Master Jia walked around the coffin twice in a serious manner and said with some confusion: "This is really strange. The tomb has obviously been dug up, but why is the coffin inside still intact?"
Zhang Yu was also aware of this problem and really couldn't figure it out. He speculated: "Could it be that the coffin inside was carried away and the remaining coffin was lost?"
"Master, is this possible?" Yao Chenggang asked.
"Swap the package... Who can have such leisure... Unless this person knows that we are coming back, otherwise, how could he possibly switch the package in advance..." Master Jia said.
"That's right!" Yao Chenggang nodded, "Only the three of us know about this. Before setting off, I didn't tell my men where they were going. I just asked them to prepare tools and follow me to do something. Now..."
Master Jia hesitated for a moment and said: "No matter what, if you want to determine what happened, you must pry open the coffin!"
Yao Chenggang immediately signaled his men to come over to work. A man came forward with a crowbar and removed the nails from the coffin board one by one. When they started, they were all trembling a little. When all the nails were removed, several people started to work again.
Work together to push the coffin boards away.
It's better to call it pushing than pushing. They used the tools in their hands to push the coffin board to the side little by little. When most of the coffin was lifted, a few people used force and flipped the coffin lid to the ground.
"Bang!"
The coffin board fell, and they did not dare to look into the coffin. They kept their distance and only looked at Yao Chenggang and the others.
On the surface, nothing happened in the coffin, and Master Jia also knew that it was time for him to get in. He walked slowly to the coffin, took a look inside, and said calmly: "It seems that what I said is true.
That’s right.”
After hearing this, Zhang Yu and Yao Chenggang both walked to Master Jia, lowered their heads and looked inside.
I saw two skeletons lying in the coffin. The skeletons were wearing red wedding clothes, which were the kind of clothes worn for weddings in ancient times, and there were phoenix crowns and harems. However, the clothes were tattered in many places. Just based on this, there was no trace of it at all.
I can't tell whether the woman inside is Yao Xiaolu.
Looking at the two skeletons in red wedding clothes in the coffin, Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat. Based on his last encounter in the barren mountain hut, he had tempered his courage. If it had been the same before, he would have probably been frightened.
One jump.
In comparison, Master Jia looked relatively calm, and Yao Chenggang had no special reaction. There was no apparent nervousness on the surface.
Judging by this, both of them seem to have seen the world.
Zhang Yu didn't say anything because he didn't understand. He wanted to see Master Jia first before he said anything.
After observing the two skeletons inside for a while, I found that after death, a person will rot and turn into dry bones, but there is one place that will continue to grow, as if it will never die. That place is the hair.
The two skeletons in the coffin have very long hair. Judging from the length of the skeletons, they are not very tall and do not look like adults at all. Unless they were both dwarfs in life, it can be concluded that they are children.
Master Jia didn't seem to dare to reach in and check. He lowered his head and observed for a while, moved his steps, and circled around the coffin. Zhang Yu and Yao Chenggang followed him around, and when they came to the other side, they happened to look at
To the coffin lid that was just lifted.
Although the outside of the coffin lid is scarlet, the inside is indeed black. On the black lid, there are three rows of red letters written on it.
When he saw this, Yao Chenggang exclaimed, "There are words on it?"
Zhang Yu naturally saw it too. He looked carefully and soon discovered that the year, month and day were written on them. Moreover, there were three of them. He immediately said: "This is the year, month and day, and the ones on the left and right sides are written on them.
, they both look quite young, and are less than thirty years old now. The one in the middle should be sixty-five years old this year."
"Xiao Lu! This is Xiao Lu's birthday!" Yao Chenggang pointed at the birthday on the right and shouted.
"Are you sure it belongs to your daughter?" Zhang Yu asked.
"How could I remember my daughter's birthday wrong!" Yao Chenggang said with certainty.
Zhang Yu then looked at Master Jia, also to save face for the old liar, and said: "Senior brother, they were paired as a couple. Logically speaking, two birthdays are enough... Why... there are three?
…”
"I'm afraid this isn't as simple as matching a baby!" Master Jia said in a serious tone.
"Then, what could it be?" Zhang Yu asked curiously.
Master Jia said seriously: "Borrow me!"
"Excuse me?"...Zhang Yu and Yao Chenggang shouted in unison.
The idea of borrowing one's life is inevitably mentioned in superstition, but it is difficult to say whether there is such a method. According to rumors, many wealthy people ask masters and experts to help borrow one's life. As for whether it is successful, it is unknown.
Master Jia spoke slowly and elegantly this time: "Borrowing one's life is a Taoist technique. The most famous one is the seven-star lamp's technique of borrowing one's life. However, the success rate of this spell is not high. Generally speaking, it can extend one's life by one century.
.Borrowing life is a heaven-defying art. Even a master of Xuanmen may not use it when he knows that the deadline is approaching, unless there is unfinished business. Similarly, if you want to use the seven-star lamp to borrow life, you must at least have the skills to borrow life.
Seven-star lantern, without this, even if you know the method, it is useless. The seven-star lantern borrowing life technique belongs to borrowing life from heaven. Among the heretical techniques, there is another method, which is to replace one's own life with the life of others. This method is usually
Selecting boys and girls, I don’t know how to operate it specifically..."
"Yao Xiaolu was smoked to death... Her death, when I was at the Yao family's ancestral grave that day, I felt a little abnormal... Do you think someone wanted her life but didn't want to cause too much trouble?
, that’s why I came up with such a move..." Zhang Yu said slowly.
Master Jia nodded, "It's very possible that a child can be taught."
After hearing this, Zhang Yu secretly said to himself, you old liar really dare to borrow Slope.
Of course, Master Jia’s knowledge made Zhang Yu really convinced now.
"If you say that, doesn't it mean that someone traded my daughter's life for his?" Yao Chenggang said harshly.
"Exactly!" Master Jia said.
"Bastard!" Yao Chenggang gritted his teeth, "Mad! I must find this person and cut him into pieces! You two, please give me some advice and see if I can find this person!"
Zhang Yu doesn't know how to find it. Could it be that he went out looking for it just based on his birthday?
He deliberately looked at Master Jia, "This..."
Unexpectedly, Master Jia was even more clever and said: "Junior brother, I believe there must be some clues in this tomb and coffin. This time, I will test you and see if you can find it..."
