Chapter 321 Aning has a bold idea

The third floor is smaller and is divided into hundreds of small rooms, each of which contains a coffin.

The shape and wood of these coffins are higher than those below.

The fat man said immediately after seeing them.

"Mr. Ji, I understand."

"The greater their contribution, the higher the burial floor, right?"

Ji Changsheng nodded in approval and asked everyone to disperse to look for clues.

He came to a coffin and opened the lid. There was still a mummy inside.

However, this mummy was better preserved. The wrinkles on the skin were vaguely visible, and even the general appearance of the owner of the corpse could be seen.

Looking at the wooden sign in front of the coffin, this wooden sign was made more delicately and larger.

It read the following paragraph.

"Zhang Diancang is from Hanyang, Hubei. He served as the chief of Sitianjian during the Tianqi period. His twelve celestial phenomena were preserved forever by the Zhang family. He was rewarded with the third heaven for his meritorious service."

Ji Changsheng's expression changed. He was actually a palace eunuch of the Ming Dynasty!

The Zhang family's ancient building was built more than a hundred years ago, and the people buried there were all ancient people from two or three hundred years ago.

It is obvious that these bodies were transported from other places after the Zhang family's ancient building was built.

The amount of work is unimaginable. Only a large family like the Zhang family can afford it. But why did they spend so much money to move thousands of bodies and coffins here for burial?

Another point is that this man named Zhang Diancang is a eunuch.

In ancient times, eunuchs who lost their reproductive ability were looked down upon, even the chief eunuchs who held great power were no exception.

But this eunuch is qualified to be buried on the third floor, which shows that his contribution to the Zhang family is greater than that of the earl downstairs!

It is clearly written on the wooden sign that it is because he wrote a book.

The Twelve Methods of Celestial Appearance, from the name, is a book about astrology. This person is the chief eunuch of the Sitianjian, which is the department in charge of astronomical observation.

It seems that this eunuch is a master of astrology. This book plays a very important role in the Zhang family, so he has received such an honor.

This confirms the speculation of Ji Changsheng and Fatty. The greater the contribution to the Zhang family, the higher the burial floor.

Who will be buried on the top floor?

Will it be the first generation of the Zhang family's ancestors!

At this time, the others have also finished checking, and the clues they have obtained are not beyond Ji Changsheng's expectations.

"Let's go, continue."

There is no other value on this floor, so everyone went directly to the fourth floor.

After arriving at the fourth floor, the layout here is not much different from the third floor. It is also divided into hundreds of rooms, but the area is smaller and the number of coffins is also less. It is roughly estimated that there are less than 500.

The people buried on this floor have a longer span of time, directly from the Ming Dynasty to the Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties.

Not only that, the identities of the buried people are becoming more and more weird.

In addition to some civil and military officials of the court, there were also some monks and Taoist priests, and even a foreign blond missionary!

The earliest Western missionaries who came to China were recorded in the early Ming Dynasty, but this missionary was actually from the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, more than 70 years earlier than the historical records!

The fat man took a look and immediately pointed at the missionary's body and said.

"Brother, your family started international exchanges hundreds of years ago?"

"There is actually a foreign son-in-law. Didn't the Zhang family say that only internal marriages can be made?"

The brother leaned over to take a look, but did not answer. Instead, he pointed to the wooden sign in front of the coffin.

The wooden sign recorded the life of this foreign monk. It turned out that this person came to the Yuan Dynasty to preach. Because he had some strange skills, was eloquent, and was particularly good at flattering, he won the favor of the Yuan Dynasty emperor and became a favorite of the court.

At that time, an important leader of the Zhang family offended the emperor and was about to be exterminated and his family was confiscated. Fortunately, this international friend pleaded in front of the emperor, which saved the Zhang family.

This missionary became the great benefactor of the Zhang family and was treated with great courtesy.

After his death, he was qualified to be buried in the Zhang family's ancient building and was buried on the fourth floor.

After reading the content on the wooden sign, the fat man took a deep breath and said.

"Mr. Ji, this is getting weirder and weirder."

"Even international friends are buried here. This is not a question of honor, right?"

If being buried in the Zhang family's ancient building represents a supreme honor for the Zhang family, then how can this foreign monk be explained?

He is not a member of the Zhang family. What honor has nothing to do with him, but he is still buried here.

Everyone was puzzled and looked at Jack.

Jack is the only foreigner in the team, and Aning does not count.

As an international friend, he should have unique insights.

After thinking about it, he frowned and said.

"This priest was sent by the Vatican to preach. He should be a devout Catholic and should be buried in the church cemetery after his death."

"Even if he can't be buried in his country, he won't be buried in a place like this."

"This... I really can't understand it."

Although Aning is Chinese, she grew up abroad.

After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly came up with a bold idea.

But this idea is too absurd, even she herself finds it incredible.

"I have an idea. Maybe the Zhang family thinks that being buried here is not only an honor, but also a specific benefit!"

The fat man stared, looked around, and said.

"What are the benefits of being buried here? Good feng shui, can it bless descendants?"

"But this international friend is a Catholic, he probably doesn't believe in feng shui."

A Ning shook his head and said with a strange look.

"I mean, it's good for the body itself."

The fat man looked down at the body and found that the body on this layer was better preserved.

"The Zhang family does have a sophisticated anti-corrosion technology, but the problem is that other Catholics don't think there is any benefit in preserving the body well."

"Your statement is useful for Chinese people, but it may not be convincing for foreigners."

A Ning shook his head again, and even his tone became a little strange.

"I'm talking about very special benefits that they can enjoy after they die!"

The fat man grinned and was about to start a fight.

When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Once you're dead, what benefits can you enjoy?

Is there a special service in the underworld that is exclusive to the Zhang family?

But before he could say anything, he suddenly thought of something in his mind and immediately understood what An Ning meant.

She opened her mouth in surprise and said word by word.

"Big sister, do you mean..."

"These dead people will be resurrected?!"

A Ning nodded solemnly.

"This idea is absurd, but I think it is the most reasonable."
