Chapter 349 Qing Ziyu, Double Coffin

Oil sand fir, born on the cliffs in the forests and deep mountains, is difficult to grow in a hundred years.This kind of wood sinks when it enters the water, and it is not easy to decay when it is put into the soil. It smells like catalpa and cypress, and its color is like bronze.After the coffin is made of this kind of wood, it is painted with cooked tung oil or raw lacquer several times, which is of high quality and style.These Chinese fir trees have a large diameter. When making the coffin, the upper, lower, left, and right pieces are completely made of a whole piece of wood in one go, without splicing, and follow the high-quality route.

"What do you mean?" Nan Hai asked.

"The workmanship is good, the material is good, and it is a high-quality coffin." Lao Jiu said: "Your ancestors were treated well after death, which means that the Ming Dynasty was not a poor family."

The two brothers looked relieved, Hai Dongqing suddenly jumped on top of the coffin, and I waved: "Get out of the way, the coffin is about to be opened."

The so-called opening of the coffin is now just a simple procedure. Qinghuhui has already removed the coffin nails, and now it only needs to be opened. One change: "Xu Qiqi didn't explain clearly, this is a tomb of clothes."

Lao Jiu simply lifted the lid of the coffin vigorously, we looked inside, and there was nothing in the coffin!

There is no artifact, no corpse, it is understandable if the artifact is taken away by Qinghu, but it is not normal without the corpse, Lao Jiu said with certainty: "Look at the imprint inside, there is something, here is old, here is new , but judging from the area, it is definitely not a corpse, it is more likely to be a shroud, and the shroud was taken away by them."

"It seems to be a tomb of clothes." I also agree with Lao Jiu's opinion.

"What is a tomb?" Donghai was a little puzzled.

"The tomb of clothes and crowns is a tomb where the clothes and hats of the deceased are buried but not the body of the deceased. This is because the body of the deceased cannot be found or has been buried in another place, and a tomb of clothes and crowns is set up here to commemorate it. The tomb of clothes and crowns is A type of symbolic tomb. There are also some tombs, which don't even have clothes and hats, and are purely symbolic tombs, such as the tomb of the Yellow Emperor." Lao Jiu said: "

There are many famous tombs in Chinese history, such as Yuan Chonghuan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who repeatedly defeated the Qing soldiers on the front line of Shanhaiguan.Later generations feel sorry for the unjust death of a generation of heroes. In BJ, a cloak tomb is still in existence. If there is no special reason, who would be willing to use the cloak tomb to bury their ancestors?
The coffin is a good coffin, but it would be disappointing if there was nothing inside. Donghai and Nanhai couldn’t hide their disappointed expressions. The old nine’s fingers tapped on the coffin, and I folded my hands on my chest and walked towards the rest of the tomb. Wandering around, the structure of the tomb is very simple, and the other ear chambers have no usable value, but when I turned back and stood next to the coffin again, I had a strange feeling, the soles of my feet were cold!
I glanced at Lao Jiu, and Lao Jiu was staring at his feet in a daze. Seeing me looking at him, he snorted: "There is space in the ground, and the wind will come out of the ground."

As soon as we had an idea, we immediately moved the coffin. The marble slab under the coffin caught our eyes. The marble slab was worn very thin and shiny. It's jade."

Although jade is also a kind of stone, the two are completely different in terms of cognition. I looked over and saw, oh, it is sapphire. Sapphire is the largest component of nephrite, and its material composition is the same as that of white jade. Or similar, the cause of formation is the same as that of white jade, which belongs to the formation of contact metamorphism, and the difference is only due to the trace element iron.

This piece of sapphire is similar in size to the coffin, and it seems to replace the coffin platform. The sapphire is not high, and is completely parallel to the ground. Looking carefully, the sapphire is not spliced, but a whole piece.

"It's still snotty." I muttered, "It's strange, how come Seventh Sister and the others didn't take it away. It has high ingredients and high integrity, so it can be sold at a good price."

I leaned into Lao Jiu's ear and whispered, and Lao Jiu said: "Sapphire is not as good as white jade, so what if it's snot."

Regarding the color of sapphire, the ancients had the so-called shrimp green, snot green, willow green, bamboo leaf green and so on.The ancients favored greenness, and the so-called greenness comes from blue and is better than blue.It is said that ancient celadon was inspired by the similar color of sapphire and fired. Its unique color charm makes contemporary celadon very popular. Its value is far inferior to that of white jade, but it has unique color and luster. charm.

"This is not important." I patted the piece of sapphire: "The most important thing is the wind."

Lao Jiu exchanged glances with me, and the rest of the people felt the unusual atmosphere, and they all surrounded him. Lao Jiu took out a knife and stuck it under the sapphire. Unexpectedly, there was no gap at all. No matter how hard he tried, the piece of sapphire remained motionless. Lao Jiu's idea of ​​keeping the sapphire was shattered, "Ge Laozi, such a complete piece of sapphire, it's a pity." Lao Jiu complained, and took out the box of gunpowder: "You back off, it will only explode."

Lao Jiu’s method of disposing gunpowder was as skillful as ever. He quickly prepared the gunpowder and then detonated it. After a bang, the sapphire burst into countless pieces. We covered our noses and waved our hands. When it became lighter, Lao Jiu put down his hand and quickly stepped forward to remove the sapphire. The ground under the sapphire was soft, it was a layer of soft soil. I took out the tool shovel and shoveled the soil aside, revealing two bluestone slabs...

"What is this?" Qinghai and Donghai asked.

"There is a tomb within a tomb." Lao Jiu said, "It's a very common phenomenon, but there is another layer underneath, so uncover it."

Batu and Lao Jiu each uncovered a piece, and the steps below were clearly exposed. Batu gasped: "Unbelievable, really unbelievable."

"The underground world is like this, and it's reasonable to be surprised." Lao Jiu fixed his headlamp and walked down: "Ling Qi is a descendant of the Khitan, and the family has the important task of keeping the genealogy, so he kept his family history before and after his death." There are special arrangements, I am afraid that the suicide note of rhinoceros hide is only a part, go down and have a look."

The bottom is darker than the top. If you go straight down, will you really reach hell if you walk up to the nineteenth floor?It is said that Russia once hit the center of the earth by mistake, and heard tragic screams there. They believed that they accidentally dug into the entrance of hell. If so, hell exists in this world, and there is a door leading to it. go there.

Thinking too far, let's go back to reality, Lao Jiu is leading the battle in the front, Meng Luo is at the back, Lao Jiu suddenly stopped, I hit his back directly, and my nose was sore: "What kind of plane is this?" ?”

"Qingzi jade coffin, and it's a coffin for two people." Lao Jiu said: "The husband and wife are buried together in the tomb."

Qingziyu is also a kind of sapphire, but its color is completely different from other sapphires. The actual color is black-green, but from the appearance, the color is black, and its true turquoise can only be seen under strong light. This kind of sapphire has a delicate internal structure and is the rarest kind of sapphire.

The double coffin in front of me is not two, but one is divided into two parts. Before I approached, I saw the hands of the corpse stretched out, holding them tightly, and even the place where the hands were let go was skillfully placed on the jade. It was cut open, just like the chopstick rests on the dining table. There is no strong light here, and the jade coffin is a dark color. The hand bones wrapped in white protrude from the dark place, which is chilling...

Donghai and Nanhai hid behind Batu. The first time they went down to the grave, they were already sweating: "Uncle Batu..."

"Don't be afraid, think that they were your ancestors before they were alive, and they are descendants of Khitan just like us," Batu said, "In this way, they are our family members, but they are separated by hundreds of years. Straighten your waist and go to see your family, instead of shrinking behind me, the Khitan will look like a decent man."

Donghai and Nanhai were moved by Batu's words, and they no longer flinched. Donghai stammered and said, "This is a coffin bed with two coffins, but the two coffins are not closed. There is a space to stretch out your hands. Does it mean that the two will join hands after death?"

While Lao Jiu expressed his affirmation, I walked over, squatted down and looked at the coffin carefully, and stroked Qingziyu's coffin platform with my fingers, it was as delicate as the legend said, and when I brushed it with my fingers, it felt like the texture of milk, extremely smooth, Comfortable, so comfortable, if you lie in such a coffin after death, it will be enough...

Suddenly realizing my terrible thoughts, I immediately shook my head to dismiss the idea, and Lao Jiu suddenly said: "Things are troublesome."

"Well, yes, Qing Ziyu's coffin platform and Qing Ziyu's coffin are connected together, that is to say, the two coffins combined into one have no coffin lid, so they cannot be opened directly, and they can only be opened as before." I pondered for a while and said, "The question is, if explosives are used, what will happen to the corpse in the coffin? Will the contents inside be destroyed? Lao Jiu, are you sure?"

Lao Jiu showed a puzzled expression, and Batu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Although I don't want to put pressure on the two of you, it is very likely that there are our companions, the ancestors of the South China Sea and the East China Sea. If the corpses are destroyed, it is definitely not what we want." have witnessed."

"Then use the most stupid method." Lao Jiu said confidently: "The hardness of sapphire is average. There is no coffin lid to make a coffin lid, and then open the coffin."

Lao Jiu opened his backpack and took out a tool shovel. I knew what he was thinking with just one look. He used a sharp tool to cut open the top of the Qingziyu coffin, and then uncovered it. As long as he could see the situation inside, I called other people to act together. , the amount of work is not too big, in the dim light, we continued to carry out, little by little, the Qingziyu finally loosened, and then collapsed, the old nine eyes were delighted, and we uncovered the left side together. There was a pungent smell coming from the lid of Qingziyu. Qinghai and Nanhai closed their eyes tightly because of fear. After a long time, they opened their eyes and then let out a "huh"...
