Chapter 125: Ascending the coffin and making a fortune
Sang Lan was so timid that she only shouted "It's a coffin", and she shrank behind me like a quail.
Zang Zhiqiang walked over without saying a word and looked at the three coffins up close.
Looking at his back, I slowly reached for my backpack.
Before I came down, Jinghai suddenly spoke up and reminded me of two things.
One is for me to hold my breath when I come down, and never inhale the miasma of the cave.
Then tell me that I have something in my backpack that might help me get rid of some of my problems.
Jinghai only said a few words, and didn't explain specifically, so there was no movement again.
Despite this, I am quite grateful to him.
As a dead ghost, it is absolutely taboo to enter a grave that does not belong to you.
Although the old monk never showed up, he had been secretly observing my situation, and at the critical moment, he couldn't help but help me after all.
Zang Zhiqiang suddenly turned around and asked me, "Don't you think this coffin is a little strange?" ”
I rolled my eyes slightly, and pulled out the hand that was already in my backpack.
Since Zang Zhiqiang went and returned, so far, he has exposed too many flaws.
I've confirmed that there is something wrong with him, but I just don't know what exactly happened to him.
Jinghai was willing to take the liberty of reminding him, although it was out of good intentions, but his intuition told me that it might not be the best choice to debunk Zang Zhiqiang's trick at the moment.
In the blink of an eye, I have decided to stand still for the time being.
I sniffed, pulled Sang Lan to the front, looked at the three coffins in front of me, and had an indescribable weird feeling in my heart.
The three coffins are obviously some years old, and the patent leather on the outside has been mottled, but there is no sign of decay, and they are generally well preserved.
The age of the coffin is not something I can judge, but the placement of this coffin is really strange to the extreme.
The three coffins are not laid flat on the ground, but one is at the bottom and two are at the top, stacked together in an irregular inverted 'pin' shape.
The three coffins are equally huge, and the lower one faces us horizontally; The upper left side is longitudinal, and the middle is placed on top of the coffin below, and the two ends are suspended in the air; The one on the right, but horizontally, is more than half stacked on top of each other with the coffin below, and about one-third is suspended in the air.
Don't talk about any feng shui burial scriptures, any ordinary person will feel unorthodox when they see this situation.
This is a coffin, it is a dead person, how can it be stacked like a pile of bricks, so child's play?
Sang Lan finally couldn't help but whisper to me, "Could this coffin be the living dead we are looking for?" ”
I shook my head, and Zang Zhiqiang laughed dryly and said, "Beauty, what you think is too simple. You say that the 'dead man' is alive, how can you find it so easily? ”
He turned to me and said, "Don't you wonder where Lao Cheng has gone?" ”
I said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"Lao Cheng must have come down, but he is gone, guess where he can go?"
"You don't mean to say that Lao Cheng is in one of these coffins, right?"
I couldn't help but shake my head, firstly, I really couldn't think of any other reason for Lao Yu to lie to me, and secondly, even if Lao Yu had something to hide and wanted to get rid of us, how could he get into the coffin and cover the coffin lid back?
Not to mention whether he has the strength or not, he is blind now......
Zang Zhiqiang nodded towards the coffin and said, "He may not be in the coffin, but there is nothing special here except for three coffins, what do you think should be done?" ”
I didn't respond to him immediately, I took the fire eye in Sang Lan's hand, and looked at the three coffins carefully.
The lower one is completely pressed, I can't see it really, from my point of view, I can't see whether the two coffins above are nailed, but looking at the surrounding traces, it doesn't look like it has been opened recently.
"If you want to find the living dead, you have to open the coffin!"
Zang Zhiqiang's tone suddenly became determined, and there was a bit of eagerness in his eyes. Looking at the expression, it really seems that he is eager to 'get promoted (coffin) and get rich'.
I hesitated for a moment, handed the fire eye to Sang Lan, turned around and asked Zang Zhiqiang: "Which one do you want to open, you say." ”
"You choose." Zang Zhiqiang said decisively: "But I have to remind you that these coffins will not be placed like this for no reason, you had better just open the coffins and not overturn them." ”
I couldn't help frowning: "What about you playing with me?" ”
The height of the cave is no more than three meters, but the coffins stacked on top of each other are more than two meters high. Not to mention the angle of the stacking, it is not easy to climb up, and you can't knock over the half-hanging coffin?
"I didn't fool you." Zang Zhiqiang's expression became solemn, "You really want to overturn the coffin on it, as soon as the three coffins are separated, I don't know what will happen!" ”
I looked at him for a while, looked down at his hand hanging at his side, and gritted my teeth, "Okay, just do as you say!" ”
Zang Zhiqiang didn't seem to expect me to agree so simply, and was obviously stunned for a moment, "Why do you trust others so easily?" ”
The tone in which he asked this question was very strange, as if it was not from his mouth, but someone else asking the question.
My heart moved, but on the surface I was silent.
"If you don't have that ability, you have to listen to others." I said something a little abruptly.
I looked at the situation on both sides again and quickly decided to climb up from the left.
Although the coffin on the left is suspended at both ends, it is balanced on both sides and relatively stable, and it is not difficult to climb up with the help of the cave wall.
The truth is that it takes a lot more work than expected.
Because the traditional Chinese coffin emphasizes the round sky, the coffin lid is arched, and it is very unfocused.
I managed to climb up, but as soon as I got my footing, I suddenly realized that I had overlooked one of the most unreasonable details.
The three coffins look similar from the outside, the lids of the upper two coffins are arched, and the one that is pressed below should not be the same?
But if that's the case, how can the three coffins be stacked so smoothly, and there is no gap in the middle that is not visible from below?
I slammed my brain and almost didn't crush my back molars.
Just now, I felt that the coffins stacked together seemed to be a little awkward, but the shape of the three coffins stacked was strange, and I unconsciously ignored this.
In retrospect, the coffin below seems to be a little taller, but there is no coffin lid!
I reacted and wanted to scold my mother, but as soon as I lowered my head, I saw Zang Zhiqiang looking up at me, his eyes were full of concern, and he whispered to me: "Be careful, don't fall off!" ”
I was stunned, and the look in my eyes was ...... Why does this tone of speech sound so familiar to me?
