"Brother Su! We've bottomed out!" Liu Liangjian stood in the pothole and exclaimed.
Su Jiu took a few steps forward and stood next to the pothole. She saw Liu Liangjian peeling away the soil. Sure enough, a dark coffin lid appeared under the strong light.
Seeing Su Jiu coming over, Liu Liangjian looked up and spoke again.
"Brother Su, should we just open the restaurant or break the coffin?" Liu Liangjian asked.
In the world of Feng Shui, although coffin opening and coffin breaking both mean opening the coffin, they have two different meanings.
The former is very particular about opening a coffin, and there are many things to pay attention to.
Burn incense, worship, practice, etc.
But when it comes to breaking the coffin, you don't need to pay so much attention. You can just break the coffin open and use violent means.
"Just break the coffin! We don't have much time!" Su Jiu thought for a moment and replied.
However, as soon as the words fell, Su Jiu's eyes flashed with a hint of exquisite light.
"etc."
Su Jiu called out to Liu Liangjian who was about to take action.
Just now, under the strong light, the surface of the coffin reflected a faint light.
"What's wrong? Brother Su!" Facing Su Jiu, Liu Liangjian asked doubtfully.
"Are there red coffin nails?" Su Jiu stared at the coffin, squinted her eyes, and said slowly.
"Red coffin nails? No way! Brother Su!" Liu Liangjian hesitated and asked in disbelief.
In ancient times, coffins did not use nails, and leather strips were used to bind the bottom and lid of the coffin together.
Bundle three lines horizontally and two lines vertically.
The planks are long in the horizontal direction and short in the vertical direction. This is where the phrase "three long and two short" comes from.
The gusset originally refers to the seam of clothes. This refers to the wooden wedge that connects the coffin lid and the coffin bottom. It is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle. It is inserted into the sills on both sides of the coffin mouth to make the lid and the coffin body tightly fit.
The gusset is used in conjunction with leather strips to fasten the coffin lid.
It developed to the point where nails were used to nail the coffin lid, which was both convenient and fast. The quilt was gradually eliminated.
Older coffin makers do not use nails. It is said that the usage and position of nails are very particular, which coincides with some extended meanings. Maybe it is what they call magic!
According to Feng Shui circles, nails can nail the souls of the dead. The coffin used to bury the body is made of pine and cypress, and willow is taboo.
Pines and cypresses symbolize longevity.
If a willow tree does not bear seeds, it may lead to the death of heirs.
In some places, cypress wood is used to make coffins mixed with some fir wood. It is said that a coffin made entirely of cypress wood will be struck by lightning (thunder and lightning). After the longevity wood is made, it cannot be moved when it is left there.
When the deceased is placed in a coffin, it is called a "big burial".
The "encoffinment" ranges from the day of death to the second and third days. Usually, it takes three days for the encoffin to be completed.
Before the burial, the children of the deceased are arranged in rows in order of eldest and youngest to clean the face of the deceased.
Generally, a cotton ball is symbolically dipped in the basin, and then it is dabbed on the face of the deceased a few times to indicate wiping it, and at the same time, the deceased is shouted: "I'll cleanse the face for you!" After the face is cleansed, relatives should pay respects to the remains.
.Farewell to the body.
At this time, if the deceased is a woman, her maternal family members must be present, especially if the deceased is not allowed to be buried without the approval of the uncle.
After the body is put into the coffin, the lid of the coffin must be nailed.
Seven nails are used to hold down the nails, commonly known as "children's nails", which are said to make children and grandchildren prosperous.
When the nails were being driven, the relatives shouted to the deceased to "hide the nails" and then sprinkled five-colored grains on the coffin lid to complete the burial.
After that, paper was burned three times a day to offer sacrifices, which was called "twisting incense", until the funeral.
Wealthy people also ask monks to chant sutras and save the souls of the dead.
Wearing filial piety clothes and filial piety hats is called "Chengfu", also known as "wearing filial piety". Children should wear their hair loose. Wear white clothes and filial piety clothes, and the filial piety clothes are made of very thick raw hemp.
Liu Liangjian knew in his heart that even if he saw a Taoist priest doing something and nailing the coffin, he would never use red nails.
Most of them are ordinary nails.
Those who have a little money use silver nails.
The red coffin nail is actually considered a magic weapon in the Feng Shui world.
Therefore, red coffin nails are rarely found in ancient tombs.
The meaning of red coffin nails is to nail down the mortal world so that the soul of the deceased will not be seduced and remain in the coffin forever.
If they are not life and death enemies, great hatred will not drive red nails into the enemy's coffin. As for one's own relatives, it is even more impossible.
Liu Liangjian was filled with doubts.
That generation of Tianshi Zhang was, after all, the former Tianshi of Longhu Mountain. He was a well-known character in Longhu Mountain's classics and ancestral records. Even in the Feng Shui world, there were rumors about him.
After his death, how could there be red nails on his coffin?
According to classic records, the coffin was prepared by Zhang Tianshi himself at that time, and no one else made the coffin.
It’s impossible to put the red nails in your own coffin, right?
It can't be the work of outsiders.
You must know that once the tomb of the Ghost Sect Killer is hit, it is equivalent to the killing bureau being completely activated.
It can still be said that it has not been activated.
That generation of Tianshi Zhang arranged his own funeral arrangements and buried himself here.
However, after the tomb is clicked and the killing bureau is activated, which Feng Shui master would dare to come here and hammer red nails into the coffin?
No one dares.
No Feng Shui master would dare to do this.
Then there is only one answer. Either Zhang Tianshi of that generation nailed it himself, or he nailed it by those who helped bury him.
Although there are only two answers, the meanings contained in them are two completely different meanings.
The meanings of the results of the two answers are very different.
The soul of a generation of Zhang Tianshi was actually imprisoned in this coffin.
So many years have passed.
I am afraid that even if it is not crushed, it will almost dissipate.
Who is it that is so vicious that he stares at the coffin with red nails and seals the soul of the Heavenly Master?
Things are definitely not simple.
"Brother Su! What should we do now?" Liu Liangjian recovered from the shock and asked Su Jiu.
Liu Liangjian knew clearly that in the current situation, if the soul of the Heavenly Master still existed, the method of breaking the coffin must not be used.
Because the method of breaking the coffin will damage the soul of the Heavenly Master.
However, there is not much time now.
Therefore, Liu Liangjian turned his attention to Su Jiu.
Su Jiu heard this and jumped into the pit.
The hole dug by Liu Liangjian was relatively large, and the entire cover of the coffin was exposed. With the help of the strong light, Su Jiu knelt down and observed it carefully.
There was silence for a moment, and then he slowly spoke.
"Break the coffin!"
"There is no soul fluctuation in the coffin!"
Su Jiu was slightly touched and said calmly.
"Yeah!" Liu Liangjian agreed.
No more words to say.
The tomb fell into silence for a short time. Su Jiu knew in her heart that this was an extremely red nail. Even if she didn't check it just now, after so many years, even the most powerful soul would lose its soul after such a long time.
