I was immediately shocked. There were five or six coffins in the small old house, and each one was stained with a lot of grave soil.
All the soil has a smell, especially the tomb soil where the coffin is buried. It has been stained with corpse gas for many years, and the smell attached to it is different from ordinary soil. That’s why when we were outside just now, Lao Zheng and I were able to smell it all at once.
Smell it out.
Lao Zheng glanced around, and there was a hint of solemnity on his face.
"Shopkeeper, how come this ordinary tomb coffin is placed here?" Lao Zheng asked.
Not only Lao Zheng was puzzled, but even I was confused. In the normal fighting business, few people would bring back the coffin, unless the coffin was made of unusual material, just like my damn old man.
In the early years, I just carried a thin-skinned coffin back, but there are thousands of tomb robbers, and it is impossible for there to be weirdos like my father.
I thought about the corpses in these black wooden coffins. Otherwise, who would have worked so hard to drag all the coffins back and put them in the house.
"Old Zheng, do you have any tools? The lid of the coffin is nailed shut. Let's open it and take a look." I said.
Lao Zheng quickly took out a pair of triangular pliers on his body. This thing was specially designed. It can be called a mini version of Luoyang shovel. It is a good tool that ordinary tomb robbers cannot get, but it turned out that Lao Zheng saw it here.
I took another look at Lao Zheng, and he seemed to be calm and calm, like a man who had nothing to do.
"Where did you get these triangle pliers?" I asked.
"When I was young, I made it out of nothing."
Lao Zheng carelessly clamped the triangular pliers on a nail on the coffin lid, and then with a little force, the nail was pulled out.
"Something's wrong!"
I suddenly shouted, and at a glance I saw the nails that Lao Zheng had pulled out with triangular pliers, and they were covered in blood!
"Why is there blood?" I asked.
Lao Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's from the coffin."
I felt more and more something was wrong. Why were the perfectly good coffin nails stained with blood...
"Shopkeeper, can you still open it?" Lao Zheng asked.
"Come on, I want to see what's going on here!"
I helped, and Lao Zheng and I pulled out the nails on the coffin lid one by one. After counting, there were as many as twenty-one, nine large copper nails and twelve wooden nails. This was a typical example.
A sealed coffin! (Some coffins, in order to prevent living people from opening the coffin, are often nailed with a lot of nails. An ordinary coffin can have up to nine nails. If the number exceeds this, it is generally called a sealed coffin. It can only be sealed but cannot be opened.
)
"Shopkeeper, something's wrong, these wooden nails are made of locust trees!" Lao Zheng suddenly said.
My heart suddenly tightened, and I quickly took another look at the twelve wooden nails. Sure enough, these wooden nails were all made of the heart of a locust tree, and I could still faintly see the blood stained on them. The twelve wooden nails
, each one is half a meter long. It took a lot of effort for Lao Zheng to pull it out just now...
You know, there are many kinds of nails in this coffin. Those who are rich use gold and jade, and those who have no money use copper, iron and wooden nails. This book is nothing, but these coffins in front of me are all made of locust trees.
Wooden pegs made from the heart of a tree; as anyone who fights upside down knows, the locust tree is a yin tree, and it is most taboo to place it next to the corpses of the dead.
Lao Zheng looked particularly ugly when he saw so many locust tree nails on the coffin lid.
"Shopkeeper, why don't we withdraw? This coffin is a bit weird," Lao Zheng said.
I raised my eyebrows and said, "Now that we are all here, let's take a look. There are thousands of people in this village. If there is really a strange corpse in the coffin, we cannot let it go out and cause harm to the villagers."
Lao Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement. After all, the dead are as fierce as tigers. Now that you have seen them, you can't just let them go.
I glanced at Old Zheng. I turned around and found two wooden sticks. After throwing one to Old Zheng, the two of us carefully opened the coffin lid.
A strong smell of corpses suddenly hit my face. When I looked closely, I couldn't help but be shocked!
I saw a female corpse lying in the black wooden coffin. Her clothes were in tatters and stained with blood. Her face was as wrinkled as an old tree root, and there were several shocking marks on her belly.
The wounds were all made by nails from locust trees. The wounds were so deep that white bones could be seen inside.
The skin and flesh of the female corpse have not been completely weathered, but what makes my scalp tingle is that this female corpse is obviously pregnant, but her stomach has been punched open by locust tree nails, and it is covered with blood.
The whole coffin was removed, and as for the baby in the belly of the female corpse, it was even more bloody and shapeless...
I took a breath, who could do such a heartless thing? The female corpse should have been stabbed to death with wooden nails during her lifetime. Her hair was messy, and the side of the coffin was covered with nail scratches. It was obvious that
He died after suffering great pain.
"Damn, one corpse and two lives, such a cruel method." Lao Zheng couldn't help but curse.
"Open the other four coffins and take a look." I said.
Lao Zheng nodded and pulled out the wooden nails of the other four coffins with ease.
A few minutes later, the four coffins were opened. Inside each coffin lay the body of a child. Each one had wounds opened by nails from locust trees. Inside each coffin was a corpse-like corpse. Not only was it
The woman died miserably, and even the four children were nailed alive to locust trees...
Lao Zheng glanced around, his expression became more solemn, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Shopkeeper, if I guess correctly, this should be the coffin of the evil spirits gathering together."
"What's the meaning?"
"Someone deliberately nailed them alive in coffins, and then buried them deep underground for a few years. After a certain amount of evil spirits formed, they were dug out again and placed here. After absorbing a certain amount of day and night essence, the evil spirits will become stronger.
The more they accumulate, the more they accumulate, the more they accumulate, the more they accumulate, and the more they accumulate, the more they will form."
Lao Zheng obviously knows more than me. Although I was confused, after listening to what Lao Zheng said, my heart suddenly sank!
"Putting the coffin here means that someone is definitely trying to harm Xiasha Village, or even the entire Pirate County," Old Zheng said.
"It shouldn't harm the entire Robbery County. I suspect that there is another force that deliberately wants to raze Xiasha Village to the ground in order to attract the anger of all the tomb robbers in the entire Robbery County. This move is called fanning the flames. Xiasha Village is just
It's just a pile of hay lit by this fire." I analyzed.
Lao Zheng suddenly realized it and said: "Could it be..."
"Yes, the biggest forces in this fight are the tomb robber family, the Leng family, and a robber family. The two gods are fighting. Naturally, one of them did it deliberately to take advantage of the hatred of the rogues in the county.
…”
Without thinking, I thought of the Leng family. I have seen their methods before, especially Leng Tong, who almost chased me to Yaolong Ridge. In the end, not only did I die, but I also became enemies with Old Man Xiao's thieves.
...If the Leng family wanted to deal with the stolen door and deliberately used this trick, it would not be surprising.
However, so many tomb robbers in the county may not have thought of this.
At this time, suddenly, the originally silent old house suddenly heard the sound of scratching nails.
I subconsciously looked back and saw that in the dark coffin, the female corpse with a tattered body sat up at some point and smiled sadly at me...
