Chapter 332 Fake Death Tomb

Covering the coffin, also known as "closing the coffin", means that family members, relatives and friends gather together to remove the mask or paper from the face of the deceased and bid farewell to the deceased.

If the deceased is a woman, the nephew or family members of the mother's family should be asked to check the clothes and bedding to see if there is any objection.

Then the coffin was officially covered with wedges and nails, and family members, relatives and friends knelt down to bid farewell.

Before closing the coffin, the red cloth covering the deceased should be pulled down from the feet to reveal the face, and then a strip of the red cloth should be torn off, and the cover should be closed quickly with the wooden lock, that is, the mortise and tenon joint between the coffin lid and the coffin body.

Seven nails were used on one side of the coffin, and a small piece of torn red cloth was placed on each nail.

When the coffin was nailed, the whole family avoided crying, and only the son of the deceased had to stand beside the coffin and shout "hide the nail".

Neighbors and friends who participate in the nailing of the coffin must wear red cloth strips, and reward the person who nailed the coffin with a seal, which is called "happy money".

After the coffin is covered, the children of the deceased will pat the coffin several times with their hands, which is commonly known as "wake up".

The sons and daughters of the deceased have to offer "one piece of noodles" in front of the spirit, and then share it with those who participate in the burial, which means that they have bid farewell to the deceased forever.

In the middle of the night on the second day of encoffining, it is necessary to prepare paper horses, plain carts, tin foil for incense burners and paper figurines. The children of the deceased cry and send them to the crossroads where the funeral must pass in the future to be burnt.

On the third night of the deceased's death, after the family bowed down in the Town God's Temple and the Earth Temple, one of the deceased's daughters would carry a soup pot, secretly grope for the offering, and call for the deceased.

There was another one who promised instead, and Fan shouted and responded three times, and then went out of the temple crying and went home.

When going back and forth, you have to deliberately detour, and when you go home, you cry and burn paper, which is called "burning paper on the road".

There are also some folk places where, after someone dies in the family, the family members will go to the Temple of the Town God to cry for three, five, or seven nights and call their relatives back, which is commonly known as "calling night".

That's basically the flow of the whole ceremony.

The coffins ordered by the people are basically seven nails.

But the coffin in this ancient tomb has nine nails.

And it was sealed using a secret technique lost in the Feng Shui world.

The nine-nail coffin-sealing technique is very special, a secret technique that has been lost for thousands of years in the feng shui world.

In ancient tombs more than 1000 years ago, there are still people using this kind of secret technique, which is abnormal in itself.

Combined with the situation in this ancient tomb, and the five dragon vein essence stones.

This ancient tomb reveals strangeness everywhere.

"There is no problem with the corpse, it is the corpse of an ordinary person." Qin Feng looked into the coffin, touched and sensed the skeleton, and judged in his heart.

The old man's judgment was not wrong. Judging from his bones, he was indeed a foreigner, not a Chinese person anyway.

"But this coffin..."

Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng noticed the strangeness of the coffin.

Generally speaking, the coffins used for encoffining are mainly wooden coffins.

For wood, hard cypress and camphor are the best, followed by Chinese pine, catalpa, and locust tree, and willow is the most common.

The folks pay attention to that no matter what kind of wood, cypress wood must be used for the front baffle of the coffin, and at least one piece must be inlaid.

The boards are thick and big, the thickest one is six inches, and those above five inches (five inches and five minutes) are top-grade, and the bottom, cover, and sides are all in one piece. They are respectively called "X block heads" by the number of pieces put together.

The entire coffin is rectangular in shape, high in the front and low in the back, wide in the front and narrow in the back.

The outside of the coffin is painted with black, purple, red and yellow colors.

Even the division of customs in some places is very detailed.

For the deceased under 50 years old, the coffin is painted with red lacquer, which is called "red coffin".

Those over 50 years old are mostly painted golden yellow, which is called "golden coffin".

There are usually painted patterns on the outside of the coffin, and the top-quality wood is even painted with plain color push-gloss lacquer painting based on the natural color of the wood, which looks resplendent and resplendent.

The patterns are generally one hundred longevity pictures, four seasons pictures, 24 filial piety pictures or "ten thousand characters without heads".

On the front of the coffin, a lotus platform with cloud pattern is painted, and "XX's Spirit Pivot" is written.

The small heads are painted with incense tripods and burning incense, and cabbage is painted in some places.On the front of some coffins, there are auspicious phrases such as "Fortune is like the East China Sea" and "Sound and appearance are beautiful".

The inside of the coffin is painted with rosin or pasted with yellow wheat paper, which means "gold into the cabinet" and "bequeathed to descendants".

The sun, moon and Beidou patterns cut out of gold and silver paper should also be pasted inside the coffin.

In some places, a lining board with seven holes is attached to the bottom of the coffin, which is called the "seven-star partition", which means that the deceased "drives the crane to the fairy, and enters the western sky".

At the bottom of the coffin, lay lime, five-color silk, thread, and five grains, then put seven copper coins, seven pieces of pig iron, spread seven money-shaped objects cut from gold foil paper, and then spread a mattress.

However, today's folks don't pay so much attention. Generally, coffins are mainly black.

The golden coffin also gradually dissipated in the long river of history.

However, the coffin in front of him was golden.

This is not the most critical.

Qin Feng found that there were some runes engraved on the inside of the coffin.

These runes are all seal types.

If there are dirty things or zombies in the coffin, Qin Feng can understand these arrangements, all of which are normal.

But what puzzled Qin Feng was that, judging from the corpse, the owner of the coffin was an ordinary person.

The only difference is that there is a foreigner in the coffin.

It is obviously abnormal for an ordinary foreigner to be buried after death and use this layout.

Moreover, there are many abnormal places.

The entire ancient tomb, except for the coffin and the construction of the tomb chamber, is no different from ordinary ancient tombs. There is no special place at all in terms of Feng Shui pattern.

The construction of the main tomb may be explained by foreigners.

But the coffin itself is abnormal.

"Coffin!" Thinking of this, Qin Feng's mind flashed, as if he had thought of something.

Qin Feng quickly took out a talisman from his arms.

Quickly gathering spirits, a sharp knife appeared in Qin Feng's right hand.

In the next second, Qin Feng directly scraped the lid of the coffin with a knife.

Qin Feng carefully scraped off the golden lacquered coffin bit by bit with a knife.

"Sure enough." Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and said cautiously.

At this moment, on the lid of the coffin, a piece of golden paint was scraped off, revealing that it was not the wood itself.

It is a layer of copper skin with clear runes branded on it.

"The tomb of fake death, I didn't expect that the legendary tomb of fake death in the Fengshui world really existed." Qin Feng sighed.

There are rumors in the feng shui world that some celibate feng shui monks will hand down all their resources and inheritance when they feel that their time is approaching.

These lone Feng Shui monks have no family, no heirs, no sects, no disciples, and even no family members.

They also have another name in the Feng Shui world, called extinct monks.

When these monks perceive that their time is approaching.

He will find a place for everything he has, build an ancient tomb, and store it in it.
