My master is invincible

Chapter 1871 Yin Yang Rice (75)

Speaking of this weird thing, I don't know whether it's true or not, just take it as a joke.

It was said that on the night when the coffin was laid, the ghost craftsman thought he could go to the emperor to ask for some rewards, but when he saw the coffin he had built, he said, even though he had exhausted his painstaking efforts for seven to seven days, it was sold. Quite really bad, looks extra rough.

Ever since, the ghost craftsman planned to do another craft to make the outside of the coffin look better.

It should be said that this ghost craftsman is also a character. Using his superb craftsmanship, he painted a layer of gold paint on the outside of the coffin, and carved some things on it.

At first glance, the coffin looked resplendent and resplendent. I don't know if it was because of the lighting at that time, or what happened, but the craftsman felt that the coffin looked like gold.

People are selfish.

This was absolutely true, the ghost craftsman had a wrong idea when he saw the coffin looked good, and planned to sleep in first to try it out, which could be regarded as stealing the emperor's coffin.

In that era, being able to snatch the emperor's things was naturally something worth showing off.

Ever since, the ghost craftsman lay down in the coffin, and slept in it for about an hour. Nothing strange happened, so he crawled out of the coffin.

After the ghost craftsman climbed out, he wandered around the coffin several times. The more he looked at the coffin, the happier he felt, so he came up with another idea.

He felt that if he just handed over the coffin to the emperor, although he could get a reward, it would not be able to satisfy his inner needs. To put it bluntly, he was thinking that after his death, he would not be able to sleep in such a good coffin.

Some people will definitely say, why not make an identical coffin yourself!
Speaking of this, I have to make a digression. In ancient times, the coffins of emperors were generally made of golden nanmu, and this golden nanmu was generally used by the royal family. How could ordinary people have this kind of treatment.

So, this ghost craftsman naturally understands that it is impossible to make an identical coffin. After all, this golden nanmu is not easy to deal with, even if it is obtained secretly, he would not dare to make a coffin.

To take a step back, even if it is made into a coffin, after his death, as long as the descendants lift the coffin out, within three days, his grave will be laid down by the government.

Because of this, he set his mind on the coffin in front of him.

As a ghost craftsman, he knows a lot of tricks. He first cut his index finger with an axe. As for why he used an axe, to be honest, I am not very clear. I heard that the ghost craftsman's ax has a special way in it. What is the specific way, it is estimated that only ghost craftsmen know.

It is said that after he cut his index finger, he dripped blood into the ink fountain used by the ghost craftsman, poured some cinnabar and ink, and stirred it evenly. Finally, he used the ink fountain to play ninety-nine and 81 lines on the coffin.

At first glance, the coffin has changed from its former splendor to jet-black, especially the ink fountain lines, which are particularly glaring.

Ordinarily, the ghost craftsman should be very disappointed that the coffin became so ugly, but the ghost craftsman was not affected at all, on the contrary, he was very satisfied with the appearance of the coffin.

According to the ghost craftsman's plan, after playing the ink fountain thread, he planned to practice the method for three days to make the coffin produce a soul, which is what ghost craftsmen commonly call the coffin soul.

Once the coffin has a coffin soul, he only needs to move a little bit to take the coffin soul away, and what is left to the emperor is an empty coffin.

Of course, the empty coffin referred to here only refers to the empty shell. To put it bluntly, the soul of the coffin is taken away.

To talk about some things, it’s really not as good as heaven’s calculations. On the third day of this ghost craftsman’s practice, the emperor at that time belched.

Anyone who has watched TV dramas knows that the death of the emperor is a major event, and among major events, the emperor's coffin is the most important thing.

So, at the moment when the emperor belched, an old eunuch who had been with the emperor at that time came to find the ghost craftsman.

Speaking of this old eunuch, I have to mention one thing, he is quite a loyal person.

When he saw the ghost craftsman sitting on the edge of the coffin, chanting something, he naturally understood that the ghost craftsman must have had something wrong in his mind.

Someone must have to ask, how did the old eunuch know that the ghost craftsman had something wrong.

The reason is very simple, this old eunuch was born in poverty, and he came out of the countryside since he was a child. He has seen a lot of gods and ghosts, so of course he knows some strange things.

So, when he saw the ghost craftsman's movements, he quietly called some gatekeepers, and beat the ghost craftsman to death beside the coffin without saying a word.

Strange to say, at the moment the ghost craftsman died, the ink fountain lines flicked on the coffin disappeared inexplicably.

This scared the old eunuch and the gatekeepers so much that they almost didn't jump up.

However, when they thought that the emperor was still waiting for the coffin to be buried, the group of people didn't care so much. They first hid the ghost craftsman's body, and then wiped the coffin before sending it to the emperor for burial.

How did they know that when they lifted the coffin, they immediately discovered a problem, that is, the coffin was weightless, very light, as if it had no weight.

This scared them away, and the whole coffin hit the ground with a bang.

Don't you think it's strange, even if an ordinary coffin hits the ground, it will only make so little noise.But, what's weird is that when the coffin hit the ground, it made a shocking noise.

According to unofficial records, when the coffin hit the ground, the whole palace trembled, which frightened the people in the palace, and they rushed to tell each other.

But, then again, although the sound was terrifying, someone immediately stood up and said that it was a vision from heaven, and an unrivaled emperor would be found immediately.

Without any delay, the new emperor ascended the throne without waiting for the old emperor's funeral.

The funny thing is that in the spring of the second year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, this dynasty disappeared in the long river of history.

Of course, this is a digression, let’s say that after the ghost craftsman died, according to some folk rumors, after the ghost craftsman died, his soul stayed in the palace, and although the coffin was carried out for burial, the coffin’s The coffin soul stayed in the palace, and the ghost craftsman happened to be lying in the coffin soul.

Time has changed, and I don't know how many years have passed. No one knows what happened to the ghost craftsman after he lay down in the coffin.

However, there are several versions about the ghost craftsman among the people.

One of the versions said that the ghost craftsman's soul merged with the coffin soul, and whenever a good coffin was built, the ghost craftsman's prying eyes would be aroused.Therefore, every time the coffin is finished, a rooster will be killed. It is said to be a respect for the gods, but in fact it is a taboo for the ghost craftsman to occupy the magpie's nest.

Of course, all of these are folk rumors and should not be taken for granted, but we coffin bearers quite believe in this, so when I saw the previous scene, I immediately thought of this rumor.
