My master is invincible

Chapter 1380 Eight Immortals
As soon as I called, Yan Jin immediately came over and asked me, "Chen Jiu, what happened?"

I said nothing, and ignored her. I continued to stare at the bottom of the coffin for a while, and found that the bottom of the coffin was not a complete picture of the Eight Immortals, but more like a corner of the picture of the Eight Immortals.

Take the characters at the bottom of the coffin as an example, they look a bit like Han Xiangzi, Lan Caihe, and Uncle Cao, but since the pattern on the bottom of the coffin is not very clear, I'm not sure if it's these three people.

However, the only thing I can be sure of is that the pattern on the bottom of the coffin is definitely a picture of the Eight Immortals.

There are two reasons. One is because I have been in the industry for so long and I am quite familiar with the painting of the Eight Immortals. I can judge it based on some edges of the pattern. The other is because of the Chinese official characters used in this pattern. 'Character.

It can be inferred that this pattern must be the Eight Immortals.

What I can't understand is why there is only a part of the picture of the Eight Immortals.

Immediately, I crawled out from under the coffin without wasting any time, and said directly to Yan Jin, "I suspect there is something at the bottom of the other two coffins."

That Yan Jin was taken aback and asked me, "What should I do then?"

"I need to see the bottom of the other two coffins!" As I said that, I told her the general idea, which meant that she would activate those Taoist priests to lift up the other two coffins to have a look.

Without saying a word, Yan Jin expressed this idea to those Taoist priests.

What made me extremely depressed was that those Taoist priests wanted to carry the coffin when they heard it, staring at me one by one, very reluctant to carry the coffin. In their words, carrying the coffin is a lowly job, as they are so noble How can such a Taoist priest carry the coffin again and again.

Regarding this, I really wanted to slap them a few times, and without speaking, I stared straight at the Taoist priest who said this.

The Taoist probably saw my eyes and glanced at me provocatively, then turned to Yan Jin and said, "Miss Yan, we are here to solve the problem, not to carry the coffin."

That Yan Jin guessed that those Taoist priests were a little dissatisfied, so she said quietly, "Ten thousand is one person."

As soon as the words fell, those Taoist priests, without a single fart, immediately moved to the side of the coffin, first got the first coffin off the wooden stool, and then got the second coffin onto the wooden stool. Come down, like the clouds and flowing water.

This gave me the illusion that this group of so-called Taoist priests could not be coffin bearers, otherwise, how could their movements be so proficient?
At that moment, I smiled and asked Yan Jin, "Miss Yan Jin, are these people you are looking for Taoist priests?"

"Yeah!" She glanced at me suspiciously.

I gave a wry smile and stopped talking. To me, it doesn't matter whether these people are Taoist priests or not. After all, these Taoist priests are covered with the smell of copper.

It's not that I look at people with colored glasses. It's mainly Taoist priests with profound Taoism. , let us carry some special coffins, let alone give me 1, even if you give me [-], I guess few people will carry them.

The most important point is that just a few minutes ago, those Taoist priests kept saying that carrying the coffin was a lowly job.

In this regard, I didn't bother to look at those Taoist priests, so I simply looked at the three red coffins from the side.

After touching it for a few minutes, the Taoist said that it was all right.

I immediately went over with the flashlight, turned it on, and got into the bottom of the coffin, and found that the bottom of the coffin was similar to the first coffin, and there was a pattern on the bottom, but only two people were depicted on the pattern this time, namely He Xiangu With Lu Dongbin, I don't know what's going on between these two people, there is actually a missing piece.

At first, I didn't care about it, so I asked those Taoist priests to put the third coffin up, got in and took a look, and it was exactly the same as I guessed. There was also a pattern under the coffin, with portraits of three people on it. Guai Li, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao.

It is worth mentioning that this pattern is the same as the pattern on the bottom of the first coffin, which is relatively complete, except that a piece is missing in the middle of the bottom of the second coffin.

I told Yan Jin about my discovery and asked her opinion, she shook her head and told me that she didn't know either.

Well, it is equivalent to not asking.

I didn't ask any more questions, and asked those Taoist priests to get the second coffin onto the wooden stool, while I got into the bottom of the coffin, staring straight at the missing part.

It is said that the general coffin carvings and portraits are mainly based on flower and bird pictures, and there are also some special coffins that can be carved with figures of gods and beasts such as gluttony and unicorns. There are very few coffins with pictures of the Eight Immortals as pictures, and they can even be carved. Said no.

But now these three coffins not only use the Eight Immortals as their pattern, but also divide the Eight Immortals into three parts, which is so abnormal.

After staring at the pattern of the coffin for a long time, many people gathered around, bowed their waists and looked towards the bottom of the coffin, especially those Taoist priests. The words are endless.

Especially the Taoist priest with a heartless and ungrateful face, his words were the harshest, saying that the person who made this coffin must be a fool, firstly because the coffin pays attention to integrity, which means a complete life, and the three However, the coffins share a picture of the Eight Immortals. In other words, if the pictures of the Eight Immortals are carved on the bottom of the coffin, the reverse order will bring bad luck to their descendants.

Regarding his remarks, I just smiled and didn't care much. If this Taoist priest is quite famous in Hong Kong, I can only say that metaphysics in Hong Kong is too backward.

Take the first article as an example, ordinary coffins do pay attention to integrity, but some coffins are not complete, and some things need to be missing, implying that people are not perfect.

Let’s talk about the second point, since the picture of the Eight Immortals can be selected as the pattern of the coffin, this alone is enough to show that the coffin was made by an extraordinary person. You must know that the carpenter who made the coffin generally chooses some fixed figures when choosing a pattern. Other graphics are rarely selected.

One is because conventional patterns are used more frequently and it is extremely convenient to carve, and the other is because unfamiliar patterns have a strong test on the carpenter's knife skills. pattern.You must know that carving a picture of the Eight Immortals is like carving eight portraits of people. No one would do such a thankless task.

Having figured this out, I ignored the Taoist priest's words, poked my head out from the bottom of the coffin and said to Yan Jin, "Miss Yan, I think this coffin should be made of mortise and tenon structure. If you want to open the coffin, there are only two ways at present." method."

"Which two?" She asked immediately.
