the last priest

The burning light of the fire fold was very limited. Zha Wenbin was lying on the roof, and could only vaguely see the four coffins hanging side by side. The friction sound "creak, creak" between the wood beam and the wooden beam is very strange in this kind of place.

Cha Wenbin bent his waist and leaned against the wooden beam, staring at the shaking coffin, holding his Seven Star Sword with one hand.This sword has been integrated with other people's swords for a long time. It can recognize evil objects, and it will tremble when it encounters dirty things as an alarm, but now it is as quiet as a sleeping child.

Huoziezi's light was still too weak, and there were still a few cold fireworks in his bag, which Chaozi asked for from Lord Liu's people, and gave them to Cha Wenbin before leaving.Zha Wenbin's eyesight was already better than ordinary people at night, but the room was completely dark, and even the coffins he saw were vaguely hidden in a black mist.

He shot a cold firework and threw it into the room, with a "snap", the firework hit one of the coffins, bounced and fell to the ground with a faint white light.

The lighting range of cold fireworks is very wide. This kind of thing is generally used in cave exploration, and its effect is somewhat similar to that of flashlights.The color temperature is high, but it doesn't last very long.With this light, Cha Wenbin, who was squatting on the roof, could have a panoramic view of this small room.

There is nothing in the room except the four hanging coffins, not even an altar, it is very simple.The room was originally not big, and he was on top of it. After a few glances back and forth, he was sure.Cha Wenbin thought to himself, since this is the case, then I'll go down and have a look. It's not a good thing that the coffin is hanging.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have paid attention to burrowing into the earth for safety. From the princes and generals to the common people, there will be a particular emphasis on putting people into the earth after death.No matter how luxurious your tomb is, no matter how high-end the coffin is, it must be placed on the soil just like ordinary people wrapped in straw mats.

Earth, the five elements are in the center, the color is yellow, and it has always been in the center in the orientation.Even if it is a tomb with marble and gold, the main coffin must be placed on the soil. This is the rule.If the coffin is not connected to the soil, the deceased will not be able to receive the earth's energy, and if he cannot be grounded, he will not be able to enter reincarnation. The ghost will become a wandering soul, and he will not sleep well after death.

It is not uncommon for such coffins to be hung, and Cha Wenbin has dealt with them. In Chinese funeral culture, the placement of coffins is extremely particular.Hanging coffins generally mean that there is no good thing in the head, or someone deliberately retaliates, such as someone who wants to pick up a corpse or make a murder. This kind of coffin is usually sealed by a Taoist or warlock, and then the chain is taken Or the rope is volleyed for fishing.

The reason is also to prevent the master here from coming into contact with the earth's qi to prevent changes. Another advantage of hanging high is that the yang qi of living people is not easy to be stained. According to the theory of yin and yang, the yang qi of a person sinks. , while Yin Qi is upward.

Zha Wenbin squatting on the beam felt that it was not an upright thing, the good guy buckled the wooden beam with both hands, swung his body down, and the man hung on the wooden beam.At this moment, his toes were no more than ten centimeters away from the coffin that was slightly shaking back and forth, and he could touch it as long as he lowered his body a little further.

Zha Wenbin is wearing square-toed cloth shoes used by Taoists. These shoes are somewhat similar to thousand-layer soles, but they are embroidered with pictures of rising clouds. When this person hangs down, he suddenly feels a chill hit his toes The hairs on the toes immediately stood up.

At this time, the Seven Star Sword hanging on his waist also trembled, and Cha Wenbin looked up at the beam he was holding, thinking that he was still too big.To open this kind of grave, the beam must be removed first. To remove the beam means to remove its backbone, and the momentum will be lost by half.

He just hung there like this, only to see that the coffin at his feet began to shake very violently at the moment, almost touching his toes a few times, and somehow the amplitude started to increase.

Zha Wenbin is not a freshman who has just debuted. Seeing that the cold fireworks on the ground were about to go out, he simply let go of his hands and pointed his feet towards the head of the coffin. He heard a "boom", and the coffin was blown away. Step on it.He squatted down, picked up a Heavenly Master Talisman from his pocket with his right hand, and stuck it towards the head of the coffin. He immediately grabbed the hemp rope hanging the coffin with his left hand, and then jumped down without his head moving. Back to the ground.

After landing and looking up again, the shaking coffin began to gradually decrease, and calmness returned after a while.Zha Wenbin rubbed his palms that were reddened by the rope, and bent down to pick up the torch. At this moment, the cold fireworks on the ground were extinguished.

A room that was originally pale was plunged into darkness in an instant. The moment he lowered his head, he seemed to see a figure flash past on the opposite wall, and the speed was extremely fast.

"Who?" Zha Wenbin shouted, half of his voice came from instinct, and the other half was to embolden himself.

The surrounding air was very quiet, apart from the occasional pieces of the slate above his head slipping off, he could even hear his own heartbeat clearly.The light of the torch dances like a mung bean, it is too small and inconspicuous, usually the torch is like a candle when it is lit, but now the flame is like a small wooden stick that is about to be extinguished, very powerless .

He remembered that there was a candle in his bag, so he took out one and lit it with a torch. After lighting the candle a few times, there was no response. He blocked it with his hand and managed to make the fire a little bigger, and the candle lit up. .

There is a trace of green in the yellow light of the candle, and the green color runs from the wick to the flame, and it is very strange to be caught in the middle.In the eyes of experts, this kind of fire can read information, and there are indeed dirty things nearby.

Candles were used for lighting in ancient times. Later, both priests and priests would light candles. With modern lighting, candles are obviously not used to illuminate people.The biggest function of candles is to illuminate those dirty things. Another thing is that if you want to see ghosts, you can light a candle and go out at night, find a place where dirty things are expected to be placed in front of people's eyes. You should stare at the burning fire, if you are lucky, you will see the fire in the middle of the candle is green, then congratulations, you have seen a ghost.

Zha Wenbin had been on guard for a long time. He lit this candle to ask for directions.

There is an industry in China that is tomb robbery. Except for crematoriums and doctors, there is probably no industry in the world that has more contact with dead people than this.I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, and I will encounter ghosts when I walk at night, not to mention digging out funeral objects in other people's graves.

These tomb robbers named themselves Xiaowei Mojin, but in fact, they named themselves because of the ugly word "thief". In the earliest days, this work was done by some idle country hooligans. Got the table thing.However, since ancient times, China has been emphasizing that death is the most important thing, especially the lavish burials of princes and nobles prevailed, so more and more people began to put their hands into the dark cemetery.

There are powerful ones who directly send troops to rob graves, such as Cao Cao who just started his army, and Wen Tao of the Five Dynasties, they are notorious, they are to raise military pay.And more are those small groups of tomb robbers in two or three groups who want to make a living and make a fortune, saying that the tombs are all buried in the ground. Became a wild ghost buried with him.

Before Li Yazi's Luoyang shovel became popular, more tomb robbers came from those Fengshui experts, and in China, Taoists know Fengshui best.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao captured a Taoist priest named Zuo Ci who was proficient in Qimen Dunjia and divination of wind, water and astrology.What's even more powerful about this Zuo Ci is that he got a copy of "Dunjia Tianshu".After Cao Cao caught this man, he knew that he had Taoist skills, so he was imprisoned for a year without food. It is said that he was released from the prison safely one year later and was still the same, which surprised Cao Cao very much.

In order to raise military pay, Cao Cao specially trained a secret army, which worked day and night to steal the tombs of royal nobles, and the leader was named Captain Mojin.But he encountered too many strange things and lost troops, so he begged Zuo Ci for help.

As a condition for his release, Zuo Ci left a catchphrase for Captain Mojin that has been passed down to this day: "People light candles, ghosts blow lamps!"

This means that to enter the tomb, one must first light a candle in the southeast corner before opening the coffin. If the candle is extinguished, it means that the tomb cannot be stolen. Just put down everything and exit.If the candle is still burning, then take some money, and burn incense and paper in return after the work is done, because the dead cannot use the money, and the living have to burn it.

Cha Wenbin's candle was intended to be placed in the southeast corner, and he had only one purpose: to open the coffin!
