Chapter 5: The Body of the Nine Yins
With the voice of the old man, as soon as the door of the Wang family's main room opened, an old man in black with a hunchback and white temples walked out with the support of the red-clothed feathers.
"Uncle Wang?"
"Mr. Wang!"
The people of Liuzhen suddenly opened the pot and talked about it.
In fact, everyone in Liuzhen knows Wang Jue, he still looks old and still wears a black robe, but the people of Liuzhen look at Wang Jue today is different from the past.
I can't say what is different, but everyone has this idea in their hearts: "It's this bad old man, who usually beats Amu every once in a while!, and Amu just killed the Northern Forbidden Army and broke the arm of the commander of the Forbidden Army." It's this bad old man, Beiguo Town, Nanwang Ning was punished by heaven, and he didn't get angry. ”
Murong Tongyi, the king of Zhennan, saw Wang Jue, his face was happy, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "Murong Tong greets his seniors!"
"Hehe!" Wang Jue smiled bitterly, "Don't dare, don't dare! The prince is really powerful, he will force out my old man with his mouth, you want to kill the little old man with this gift!"
Wang Jue was polite, but he didn't see his return salute at all, and accepted Murong Tong's gift calmly.
"The predecessor is a Great Hidden Immortal, and Xiao Wang should be like this!" Murong Tong said busily.
"Little Lao'er is an ordinary man, but he can make a few coffins, what kind of great hidden immortal?" Wang Jue said lightly, "The prince is in the year of the dragon and tiger, do you also want a coffin?"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers behind King Zhennan all changed color, especially the two generals wearing silver armor behind King Zhennan, who immediately held the weapon in their waists with their hands, and stared at Wang Jue with their eyes.
Such disrespectful words are the sin of destroying the door, but Wang Jue's expression is calm, as usual.
"Haha!" the senior laughed. Hearing Wang Jue's words, Murong Tong did not have the slightest displeasure, "Xiao Wang is asking for a coffin for Princess Haiqing on behalf of the emperor's brother!"
"Princess Haiqing begging for a coffin?"
"Exactly, half a month ago, Princess Haiqing Xie was in urgent need of a mouthful of haode coffin!"
"Hmm, the dignified royal family of the Northern Kingdom won't even be able to take out a good coffin, right?" Wang Jue looked at Murong Tong coldly.
Listening to Wang Jue's words, Murong Tong couldn't help but sigh, and said, "The seniors don't know, it's not that my royal family doesn't have a coffin, it's really a strange thing!" Saying that, Murong Tong couldn't help but look left and right, it was obvious that this was not the place to speak.
There are a lot of people talking here, and it is really not appropriate to talk about things.
"Let's go into the house and talk!" Wang Jue said lightly, and turned around as he spoke. Yu'er and Amu followed closely.
The king of Zhennan crossed the door and entered the Wang's house, and the king of Zhennan in the north entered the door of the Wang's house, and it took so much effort to make people speechless. The two silver-armored generals behind him saw that the prince had entered the door, and as personal guards, they naturally wanted to follow.
But the king of Zhennan waved his hand, "You are waiting here!" and then said: "Disperse these miscellaneous people, there are those who are close to the king's family and thirty zhang, and there is no mercy for killing!"
The attitude of the talented Murong Tong towards Wang Jue and Amu almost made people forget that this was the famous King of the North Kingdom and the South King.
However, as soon as this sentence came out, the prestige of the king of Zhennan was immediately revealed, and there was no need for soldiers to drive him away, except for the soldiers of the northern country, the rest of the people immediately walked cleanly, and there was no one left.
Murong Tong followed Wang Jue and others into the Wang family.
The furnishings of the Wang family are simple and quaint, not luxurious, but Murong Tong has no intention of doing this at this time.
The guest and the host sat down, and the king got straight to the point.
"If the prince has something to say, please say it!"
"Alas!" Murong Tong sighed and said, "Don't hide it from your predecessors! That Princess Haiqing is my imperial brother's only beloved daughter, smart and clever, beautiful in appearance, and the imperial brother regards her as his life. I have just turned fourteen years old this year, and unfortunately I am thanked, and my royal brother is overwhelmed with grief. On the day of burial, it is a 10,000-year-old sunken wooden coffin personally selected......"
"Ten thousand years of sunken wood coffin?" Yu'er couldn't help but be surprised, and Amu's face also changed, only Wang Jue was not the slightest stranger.
You must know that the ancient sunken wood, also known as the gloomy wood, is the essence of the tree, the soul of the wood, is the treasure of the evil spirit, the blessing, the town house, as the saying goes, the cloud is full of gold, not as good as the sunken wood side.
The 10,000-year-old sunken wood is a rare treasure. The royal family of the northern kingdom is really generous, and a princess can be buried in a 10,000-year-old sunken wooden coffin, which also shows how much the northern emperor loves this princess Haiqing.
Hearing the surprise in Yu'er's tone, Murong Tong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The 10,000-year-old wooden coffin is a rare treasure, and this one is a gift from the Great Murong Dynasty to the imperial brother, this king will not be able to have one in the future, but unfortunately it can't accommodate Princess Haiqing." ”
Wang Jue remained silent, while Amu let out an "oh".
"Princess Haiqing, she has been in the coffin for three days, and she has not been buried, but the 10,000-year-old wooden coffin suddenly burst open from the middle......"
"The 10,000-year-old wooden coffin burst?" This made Amu and Yu'er exclaim in unison.
Legend has it that the gloomy wood is the tree that opened up the past, sinking in the sand waves, overturning the world and the number of catastrophes, re-emerging in the world, so that it re-enters the soil, and it is not bad for ten thousand years. After the coffin was formed, it actually burst from the middle, which is really strange in the world.
At this time, the old man also opened his mouth and asked, "Have you tried other coffins again?"
"Golden silk nanmu, thousand-year-old jade cypress and even copper essence coffins can't wait for no less than eight coffins......"
"It's less than three days, is the coffin cracked?" Wang Jue's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Three days at most, one day at least, all of them crack in the middle, without exception. Now that she has been for more than a month, she can't be buried, but Princess Haiqing's body and face have not changed at all! I heard that the predecessors made immortal coffins, and all wooden coffins can make people not rot for ten years, and I hope that the predecessors will make coffins! Let Princess Haiqing be buried in the ground. On behalf of the Imperial Brother, I would like to thank my predecessors!"
Speaking of this, Murong Tong stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Jue.
When the king heard this, he couldn't help but close his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long time, Wang Jue opened his eyes, looked at Murong Tong, and said: "My Wang's absolute rule will not be broken, the number of nine mouths this year is full, and it is impossible to make a coffin!
After spending a long time, he didn't expect that he still couldn't get the coffin made by Wang Jue, Murong Tong was slightly disappointed, but when he heard that Wang Jue was willing to repair the coffin, he couldn't help but ignite hope again: "I don't know if the predecessors repaired the 10,000-year-old wooden coffin, can Princess Haiqing be placed?"
Wang Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Tell the prince the truth, if everything is really as the prince said, then Princess Haiqing is by no means a mortal, not to mention the 10,000-year-old wooden coffin, even the old man made an exception for you to make ten coffins, and I am not ten percent sure that Princess Haiqing will be buried." The 10,000-year-old sunken wooden coffin I repaired for you can only be used for three years, and after three years, you won't be able to suppress Princess Haiqing, and the 10,000-year-old sunken wood will turn into ashes. ”
"This is not a mortal body, a 10,000-year wooden coffin can only be used for three years?" Murong Tongyi's face was stunned, and Amu and Yu'er were also shocked.
"This matter is not on my list of coffins, if the prince wants to repair the 10,000-year-old wooden coffin, he will send someone to bring it over! There is no need to mention other things!" Wang Jue seemed to be a little impatient.
Murong Tong frowned, bowed down again, and said, "Did the senior agree to repair the coffin?"
"Hmm, what do you mean by that?" Wang Jue was stunned for a moment.
"If the seniors agree, I want to ask the seniors to repair another coffin. Murong Tong said.
"Oh, the coffin you just talked about is respected by the 10,000-year-old sunken wooden coffin, and other coffins are inferior. The 10,000-year-old sunken wooden coffin is already the best among all coffins, what other coffin do you have in the northern country, can it surpass the 10,000-year-old sunken wooden coffin?" Listening to what Murong Tong said, Wang Jue seemed to be a little more interested.
Murong Tong's complexion changed, and he seemed to have made great determination before he said, "I still have a mouthful in the north...... A 'ghost coffin'!"
"What?" Wang Jue's face changed suddenly when he heard the word "ghost coffin".
"Twenty years ago, there was a monk from the Northern Wilderness who traveled to Baicheng, the capital of the country, and my imperial brother treated him with courtesy and had a very happy conversation. When the monk was leaving, he gave me three elixirs and a coffin. Originally, the coffin was an ominous thing, but my imperial brother refused to do so. However, the monk said that the coffin was called the ghost coffin, but it was a treasure to suppress all ghosts and evil spirits, and to keep this coffin could protect the health of the northern country, and the throne would be eternal, and maybe one day in the future it would be able to use this thing, so my imperial brother reluctantly stayed. I don't know if it's the work of the ghost coffin, in the past twenty years, my northern country has indeed been smooth and peaceful!" Murong Tong paused slightly when he said this.
Wang Jue's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "That ghost coffin is a cloud of black gas?"
Murong Tong was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Wang Jue asked like this, shook his head and said, "No, it's a black coffin made of unknown things, but half of the coffin board is missing." ”
Wang Jue's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "This thing is in the Northern Imperial Palace?"
Murong Tong nodded: "That ghost coffin is quite strange, and it has been hidden in the palace. ”
After hearing this, the king closed his eyes again and meditated, and was silent for a long time.
There was silence in the room. Murong Tong, Amu, and Yu'er all stared at Wang Jue. At this moment, no one knew what Wang Jue was thinking, but there was no need to ask, Wang Jue was making a difficult decision.
A full stick of incense for a long time.
"The day after tomorrow, the prince will come to my Wang's house, and I will go with you to the imperial capital of the northern country! If everything is as I think, I am willing to make the tenth coffin of this year for Princess Haiqing!" Wang Jue suddenly opened his eyes and said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Amu and Yu'er were shocked. Especially Amu was shocked, he knew Wang Jue's temperament very well, and Wang Jue's matter had never changed.
The rules of the Wang family have not been broken for decades, and Wang Jue has never given in on the issue of nine coffins, but he didn't expect to be able to say that he can make ten coffins today.
Murong Tong was full of surprise, but he didn't expect that there would suddenly be a turn for the better when the mountains and rivers recovered, Wang Jue not only agreed to make a coffin, but he was also willing to go to the imperial capital to make a coffin, and he didn't have the heart to consider why Wang Jue suddenly agreed, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you seniors, Murong Tong thanked the seniors on behalf of the imperial brother." Early the day after tomorrow, we will be waiting outside the door!"
After speaking, Murong Tong stopped talking nonsense, he was well versed in the psychology of people like Wang Jue, and if he didn't agree, he would do it, since he had promised, he would get up and leave.
Amu sent Murong Tong out of the Wang family, this Murong Tong is really not a layman, let all the soldiers leave with him, and no one was left to watch, to show respect for the king.
