When I walked into this hall, my first thought was that it was empty, extremely empty.
The Tai Chi Hall in front of us completely exceeded my inner imagination.
Without the golden throne and the lifelike crocodile and leopard statue of Juxian Palace, there was nothing in the entire front hall of Tai Chi Palace except a screen and a white jade coffin.
In the front half of the hall, a jade screen nearly four meters long and three meters high stood in front of us, and right in front of the screen stood a white jade coffin.
Like Qin Chugong's coffin in Juxian Palace, this coffin does not have a coffin, it is just a bare coffin.
At first glance, it can be seen that the coffin is carved from the best white jade.
There is no pattern carved on it, and it looks very plain.
However, there is an extremely strange pattern carved on the screen.
On the pattern, an old man wearing a raincoat and holding a scimitar in his hand is sitting by the river.
A shadow next to him was knocking on something that looked like a wooden fish.
In the river in front of the old man, what emerged from the water turned out to be seven dragons.
Each dragon was a different color and had a word on top of its head.
However, those words were a bit blurry and could not be seen at all from where we are standing.
The old man There is a fishing rod next to his left foot.
On the far right side of the screen are eight men in black wearing white smiling masks, carrying a vermilion coffin, and in the front row is a man with red flowers in his ears playing a musical instrument.
All in all, the response of the entire screen is extremely strange.
If you look closely, it will make your scalp numb and your back chilly.
Because if you look closely, you will find that the old man holding the scimitar has no legs.
The black figure knocking the wooden fish next to him seems to be a ghost, and the white pole it holds to knock the wooden fish is the old man's legs. bones, and the seven dragons in the river all have extremely small broken arms in their mouths.
Especially the picture on the left is obviously an unlucky and sad thing like carrying a coffin, but the coffin bearers are actually wearing smiling masks, and there are even people playing musical instruments with red flowers in front of them.
What I can’t understand the most.
Still the scarlet coffin.
The ancients always emphasized that the dead are the most important, and the black color represents mourning and death.
Whether it is mourning or burying a coffin, black and white clothes are the main color, especially for the coffin.
No matter what kind of coffin it is, make sure it is not brightly colored.
If it is bright red or purple, there must be a demon inside.
This is a hard truth that has never changed in the eyes of coffin handlers.
Even a beginner like me understands it.
But if something has changed inside the coffin these people are carrying, or it could be said that the coffin was originally an ominous thing, why are they still carrying it so happily?
"Brother Lin, what are you thinking about?"
Just when I was staring at the screen and thinking wildly, a palm suddenly slapped on my shoulder, which scared me.
When I turned around, my back was covered with cold sweat.
When I saw it was a leopard, I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "It's okay, I'm just stunned."
"Hey, Mr.
Lin, don't be stunned.
The coffin is about to go up."
Wang Jianggan laughed, jumped up to me with one leg and said in an old-fashioned way: "Although I know that Mr.
Lin, you are a little timid, but don't be afraid.
If there are brothers here, even if a big rice dumpling comes out, it will only be shot back with a bunch of bullets."
I chuckled lightly, patted Wang Jianggan on the shoulder, looked at the coffin and said, "Wait and see, this coffin is a bit evil, I suspect it's not a good thing."
"In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a gentleman was more virtuous than jade, a gentleman has no reason, and jade should not be removed from the body.
Generally speaking, jade is more precious and valuable than gold.
There is no doubt about this.
It is known that the most unearthed tombs of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods The only five types of jade are congs, huangs, bis, bracelets, and rings.
No particularly large jade has been found, which shows how precious jade was at that time."

"But this white jade coffin consumes an immeasurable amount of jade, and the jade quality of this white jade coffin is extremely good, with almost no flaws.
This is enough to show that the person inside this coffin is an extremely noble and important person. , who do you think it could be?"
I looked at the white jade coffin again, then raised my head and said.
Gu Xinlie and the other three looked at me, then at each other, and then said to me: "She should be Qin Chugong's queen mother."
"No, it shouldn't be.
First of all, both Qin Chugong and his mother were drowned by ministers.
In other words, they were not taken seriously by the court at that time, let alone people like Song Qing.
In my opinion, this coffin The person inside shouldn’t be Qin Chugong’s mother,” I said, shaking my head.
"Actually, I think we can start with the carvings on this screen.
The more I looked at this screen just now, the more hairy I got, but I couldn't help but want to see it.
Anyway, I think this screen is definitely not simple.
Take a look."
Hua Baozi pointed at the screen and clicked his tongue.
It seemed that he had seen everything I saw.
This screen is indeed weird.
The four of us walked around the white jade coffin.
As soon as we approached the screen, we felt our whole bodies start to feel chilly.
A wave of cold air enveloped us.
I was weak, so I sneezed directly.
The legless old man, the machete, the ghostly figure knocking the fish with the bone, the red coffin, the smiling man in black, the coffin leader with red flowers playing musical instruments, and the seven dragons in the river.
Taken individually, these seven things may not do much good.
It was scary, but put together it was absolutely terrifying.
I stared at the screen for a long time, and suddenly I remembered a picture that I once mentioned in Hyakuki Night Talk.
Then he opened his mouth and said: "The picture of the old man delivering the coffin."
"what" "The picture on this screen is of an old man delivering a coffin, I'm sure."
I touched the scimitar in the hand of the legless old man on the carving, squinted my eyes and said coldly.
"What is the picture of an old man delivering a coffin?"
Hua Baozi asked.
"One of the top ten evil paintings recorded in ancient books.
The old man is talking about the old man without feet.
The scimitar in the old man's hand is actually not a knife, but his own spine.
If you look carefully, you can see It can be seen that the old man's back is actually twisted and hunched.
The ghost is the old man's shadow, and the shadow holding the bone to knock the wooden fish means to use the y to rectify the yang. " "I still don't know what this scarlet coffin means, but I remembered the man carrying the coffin wearing a smiling mask.
The black clothes refer to Black Wuchang Fan Baye, but the smiling mask is Bai Wuchang Xie The one worn by Master Qi probably refers to the ghost messenger who delivers the coffin, implying that the person in the coffin has a very powerful identity.
As for the coffin leader wearing a red flower and playing a musical instrument, I don’t know what it means.”
I shook my head, with a look of helplessness on my face.
This picture of an old man delivering a coffin was indeed mentioned in the Night Talk of One Hundred Ghosts, but it was not explained too thoroughly.
Or maybe I forgot, in short I just can’t remember.
"Master Lin, what's going on with these seven dragons?
You haven't told me yet.
You are a sensible person.
Tell me quickly."
Wang Jianggan looked at me with an anxious look on his face.
I nodded, swallowed and continued. said.
"These seven dragons do not just refer to dragons, but to the seven original sins of mankind.

Arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, and gluttony.
Of course, this is the current saying, but this is generally the meaning.
As for the seven dragon mouths The seven children bitten inside are the seven children under the Guanyin Seat, which represent the seven original sins: faith, piety, kindness, righteousness, courage, frugality and forgiveness.”
"As for the characters on the heads of these seven dragons, each one is actually a hexagram, but they are all hexagrams of great evil, Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui.
Take the eight hexagrams and alternate them as evil hexagrams, The whole picture of the old man delivering the coffin is to express the idea that great evil can bring good fortune, and evil can be brought into order. " "Then this is it."
Seeing that I had finished speaking, Hua Baozi seemed to be still confused and said.
"The meaning of this picture should be that although Song Qing was a vicious person, great evil is good.
The reason why evil cannot defeat good is that it is not evil enough."
Gu Xinlie touched the screen and interrupted Hua Baozi's words. , said softly.
"I'm afraid there is another mystery."
I narrowed my eyes and said.
Just when the four of us were still concentrating on studying the picture of the old man delivering the coffin, suddenly, a sound similar to the cry of a frog came from the entire front hall.
The sound was very heavy and very clear.
When I heard the sound, I quickly shrank my head and looked around to see where the sound was coming from.
"Toad" Wang Jianggan said.
I raised my hand and gave him a slap on the back of the head, and cursed: "Grow your brains.
It's so deep in the ancient tomb.
How can a toad survive?
It's probably something weird happened again."
I spoke very softly, for fear of disturbing someone.
Gu Xinlie and Hua Baozi were brave.
They raised their heads, drew their knives and walked around the white jade coffin, but they both had a tacit understanding and did not go to the back hall.
The frog-like cry didn't last long, and then there was no movement.
But just for a moment, I was so shocked that I broke into a cold sweat.
I pricked up my ears and listened for a while longer.
When I saw that the sound of the frog's croaking had disappeared, I looked up with a sigh of relief and said, "I guess the thing making the noise is not from the Tai Chi Hall.
Let's stop talking nonsense and raise the coffin to make a fortune." ” "Hey, Mr.
Lin, I'm willing to listen to you.
There is an ancient saying that people occupy the pit and don't shit.
If we occupy the pit, let's get to work quickly.
I'm waiting to use the money to marry a wife."
Wang Jiang He was having fun, rubbing his hands together.
Although his legs were injured, this guy was as greedy for money as his life.
If he touched the coffin, he would have wanted to drag away the bottom curtain used to lay the corpse.
"Get the hell out of your mother-in-law.
Who is the ancient saying that you are occupying the latrine and not taking a shit?
I have told you to read more and you still don't listen.
If you come out, you will be embarrassed."
I pulled the sandalwood out of the bag and threw it at Wang Jiangqian. fling.
Wang Jiangqian stretched out his hand to take it, and said seriously with a straight face: "I said back then that political power would come out of the barrel of a gun.
No matter how much I read this book, it will be too long.
Grandpa Wang, I will go down with the iron shell.
You Just study with Marx.”
With that said, Wang Jianggan handed the incense to the leopard, and we moved forward and backward facing south and north, kowtowed three times to the coffin, took out our probing paws, and were ready to start working
