"All the nails must be removed." Xunye counted seven nail heads in a coffin and looked at the rusted nails. She asked Xiao Yuzi, "How did your master open the coffin?"
Little Yuzi raised the screwdriver in her hand and said, "That's it." The screwdriver was inserted into the gap that was not tight, and the palm of his hand moved behind him and then pressed it, and a gap appeared where his fingers could go.
Stuff something into this gap, then take out the screwdriver, and do the same for the other six places.
Seeing that the coffin lid had completely separated from the coffin, and only two people needed to lift it on one side, Xunye crossed his arms and asked, "Do you want help?"
Little Yuzi smiled proudly, "I can do it alone." As he said that, he walked around the coffin a few times and moved his fingers in the gaps in the coffin.
Only then did Xunye realize that the thing he had stuffed inside was a movable mechanical top.
Xiaoyouzi quickly opened the coffin to a height of more than ten centimeters. From Xunye's angle, she could already see the bones and weathered clothes inside.
Little Youzi was not tall, but she was quite strong. She put one hand under the coffin lid, held it in place with the other, and then picked up the entire coffin lid.
After watching the little grapefruit put aside, Xunye walked to the coffin with the red bag in hand.
The pale white skeleton was covered by yellow and black clothing, only the skull with two black eye holes was exposed, and an extremely evil smell of old decay came out.
Xiao Yuzi was already accustomed to this smell, but when he saw Xunye's unchanging expression, he still praised her from the bottom of his heart. She was indeed Sister Xunye, and her strength was not comparable to that of ordinary women.
Right next to them, there was another person who had the same idea as Little Yuzi and was staring at that graceful figure with doting and appreciative eyes.
This is a very thick coffin. One look at it and you can tell that the family buried here must be from a well-to-do family. Even if they are not rich, they are definitely not from a well-off family.
The coffin has a large capacity. In addition to the body, it can also hold some small funerary objects, so it must be the tomb coffin of the master Xia Yuhe. As for the jade lock, it should be another wooden coffin that is much thinner.
Little Youzi kept glancing at the coffin next door, and received a sharp slap from Xunye, "If you continue to look at it, the bones inside won't jump up on their own."
Little Yuzi quickly looked away and smiled sheepishly.
Xunye looked at the obvious rectangular mark on the side of the corpse and knew that it was the place where the box containing Qianlong's underwear was originally placed in his backpack. There were other messy marks. Needless to say, they must be some burial objects such as jewelry, but
Now I don’t know where they were trafficked.
She asked Xiaoyouzi to open the red cloth bag, rolled up her sleeves, and began to pick up the bones.
Xun Ye straightened his body and held the skull in both hands, as if holding a fragile object, respectfully and rigorously.
Watching Xun Ye put the skeletons into the bag one by one, Xiao Yuzi felt that her palms were itchy and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Sister Xunye, how about... you wear gloves?!" Xiao Youzi said tentatively.
Looking for the night without squinting, "Scavenging bones, also called collecting gold, has the custom of secondary burial in many places. It is usually held three to five years after the deceased is buried, after the body's flesh has melted and the muscles have disappeared. This is to prepare for the deceased to move to the ghost house.
It’s a happy event.”
"Oh!" Little Youzi nodded eagerly and asked again: "Is there a sequence for picking up gold...?"
"Start from the beginning, if it's a woman, then go to the right hand, body, left hand, right foot, left foot. From top to bottom. If it's a man, go to the left first, left for men and right for women." Xun Ye said while using his fingers.
Pushing aside those moldy clothes whose original appearance was no longer visible, wherever your fingers touched, the clothes turned into ashes.
"Oh... Master once said that we are only stealing money when we dig up graves. If the gold and silver jewelry on the bones are not too valuable, don't touch them, especially if they are difficult to get."
Xun Ye put the last bone into the red bag, "It seems that Xia Yuhe's jewelry is very valuable."
Little Youzi smiled sarcastically, "Um...she wore very few things, they were just burial objects placed around her."
"Let's cover the coffin." Xun Ye said, taking a look at the coffin with only blackened ashes left, and planned to step back and let Little Yuzi start to cover the coffin. Suddenly, a glaze light flickered faintly in the ashes, "Huh?
What's this?"
She reached out and lifted up the ashes in that corner, revealing a black sphere as big as a soldier ball.
Little Yuzi looked around and said, "Uh... I didn't see this last time either."
The dark, smooth ball glowed with a cool and soft luster. Xunye couldn't help but reach out and hold it in the palm of his hand. A feeling of calmness and concentration came clearly to him.
"The Soul-Knotting Stone! It's actually the Soul-Knotting Stone!"
Little Youzi looked at the inconspicuous black stone and was very confused. It was the first time that he saw Xunye looking so happy, so he asked in confusion: "What is the soul stone?"
"I have only seen it in the handwritten notes of the ancestors of the Xun clan. It is said that this soul-binding stone is formed from the ghosts of thousands of creatures. Only after being forged by fire and baptized by the years can the ghosts be eliminated, leaving only the essence of the souls.
." Xunye's voice trembled slightly as he continued: "Wearing this soul-binding stone can calm the spirits of the living and bind the souls of the dead!"
"Uh... calm the mind, there are many things that can calm the mind nowadays." Little Yuzi still didn't understand, "Hunkyou?! Does that mean the dead can directly turn into ghosts?"
Xunye shook his head, held the soul-binding stone in his hand, and motioned to Xiao Youzi to close the coffin, "The soothing thing mentioned here can not only stabilize the mind, but also condense the mental power, making it less likely for people to distract themselves and stimulate their potential. If so.
Give it to those college entrance examination students to wear, and if you keep it, they will be the top scorers in the college entrance examination."
"So this is considered a treasure?"
"Well, it is said that if it is worn by a person who has just died, the soul will not leave one soul in the body like when ordinary people die, but three complete souls and seven souls. If the body is not destroyed, then she will still be alive within a certain period of time.
You can regain your soul." Xunye's eyes flashed with excitement.
Although she came from a Taoist family and seemed to most people to be a mysterious and absurd existence, she herself felt that everything was natural.
The Xun clan is born with psychic yin and yang eyes, but if you want to be able to catch ghosts and exorcise demons, you still need hard training. Only she herself knows how much sweat and tears she has secretly shed to achieve today's strength.
