Chapter One Thousand and Nineteen Coffin Chun

Luo Tian also heard of this story. Han Xin told the prisoner that the box was a battlefield of thousands of troops, and each side represented the military strength of one side. He also taught the prisoner how to jump out of the horse and send troops. After Han Xin died, the prisoner also fled. He hid in a deep mountain, built a straw shed, opened up a wasteland and farmed, and the whole family ploughed and fed by themselves. Whenever he had free time, he focused on studying the magical skills taught to him by Han Xin.

Because the paper is easy to rot, it is replaced with a small round wood lump, which is dyed red and black for the sake of the difference. It is also called Qi chess by homophonic to Qi, and wrote a book called "Chess Note" to his son. Later generations believed that although chess can be arranged, it is not really a battle between the two armies, but just a symbol, so they called it chess.

"I have heard of this story, but Ouyang Meng carved a chess picture on the wall..." Luo Tian suddenly saw something wrong with the chess on the wall: "Dad, it's not right. There shouldn't be a Chuhe Han Realm. The chessboard on the wall does not have those four words, it's just a basic structure."

"It's true." Ouyang Tian also felt a little strange: "It doesn't seem to be in a hurry to see this mural. When it comes to the chessboard, four words are missing, and it looks a bit intentional."

"Dad, altar." Luo Tian pointed to the altar and said.

The altar is made of stone, and there is a portrait of a person engraved on the sacrificial platform, which is very similar to those who suspected to be Ouyang Meng on the mural. "It seems that it is Ouyang Meng." Ouyang Tian said: "Look at this altar, no one has been here for many years, Luo Tian..."

"Okay, dad." Luo Tian took out the candle from his backpack and lit it and inserted it into the incense ash stove.

The two of them bowed several times to the portrait, and Ouyang Tian said, "Ancestor Ouyang, Luo Tian and I come to worship. Please bless the descendants of the Ouyang family with peace."

The incense smoke from the incense ash stove suddenly circled a few times. The two men, who never believed in ghosts and gods, looked at each other, and felt a little cold and hair standing up: "Dad, it won't really be like what the third uncle said, here..."

Ouyang Tian said: "No, it's because of the wind. Look at the direction where the smoke drifts away. The wind should have blown from under this altar, Luo Tian..."

"It seems that there is a mystery under the altar." Luo Tian had already walked to the sacrificial platform, squatted down, and the flashlight also shone in. The underside of the sacrificial platform was empty. Luo Tian knocked it, and the sound was not like the sound of a rock: "Dad, come and see."

Ouyang Tian leaned down and groped around, and found that the whole piece under the altar was loose. He asked Luo Tian to exert force together, and the stone slab was pulled up, and a passage below appeared in front of him. Luo Tian hesitated a little: "Dad, do we want to go down and take a look?"

"I'm here, let's go." Ouyang Tian took the lead in. As soon as he entered, he felt a gust of cold wind gushing upwards, blowing on his face, very cold. The passage was very narrow and only for one person to go down, but after he went down, his eyes lit up. There was a huge space below. As soon as Luo Tian's flashlight shone over, he saw that there was a brazier on the wall. He tried it. The brazier could still be ignited, and the place became bright immediately.

There is a coffin below this, which is a large coffin that is placed outside the coffin. In ancient times, the coffin burial system representing the identity and level of the deceased. The coffin is a wooden burial utensil for the deceased; the coffin is the outer coffin that is placed outside the coffin. The wooden coffin appeared in the Yangshao culture period of the Neolithic era in my country. By the Longshan culture, wooden coffin had appeared and was used in the leader of the clan. In the tomb chambers of the Shang King in Yinxu, large wooden strips were mostly used to press into square or sub-shaped coffin chambers, and the Shang King coffin was placed in the middle.

By the Zhou Dynasty, the coffin was institutionalized, and it was stipulated that the emperor's coffin was four levels, and the coffin of his own was called croaker, and its outer Mongolian was made of wilt and buffalo skin; the second level was called ground, which was made of basswood; the third level was called, and the fourth level was called the coffin. The emperor and empress had two levels of coffin, and mostly used cedar wood, so its coffin was also called the coffin. Shanggong, Hou Bozinan and the doctors, respectively, were three levels, two levels, and one level. The scholars were not heavy, but they used large coffins. In addition, the emperor's coffin was eight inches thick, and the coffin of the great officials was six inches thick, and the coffin of common people was only four inches thick, without coffins. Later emperors, nobles, and scholars basically followed this system, but there were also those who exceeded the system at that time. "The Book of Rites. Tan Gong": "The emperor's coffin was four levels: the coffin of the water rhinestone was quilted, which was three inches thick; it was also one; the coffin of the coffin of the zither was quilted, and it was three inches thick; it was also one; the coffin of the coffin of the zither was 2.

"Tongdian. Li Siwu" once mentioned: "The Zhou Dynasty is used to use red green in the coffin, and miscellaneous gold is used; the doctor uses black green in the coffin, and cow bones are used; the doctor uses black green in the coffin, and cow bones are used; the scholars are not green." It also mentioned that the Tang Dynasty is not allowed to use stones as coffins and stone chambers, and their coffins are not allowed to be painted, and the houses are placed on the railings and sills, and gold, precious pearls and jades are not allowed to be inscribed in the coffins."

This coffin appears here and it looks very abrupt. This is a wooden coffin. Luo Tian said in surprise: "This is a coffin made of gloomy wood."

Among the Chinese people, gloomy wood is charcoal wood. The Shu people call it ebony, and the Western people call it "Eastern Divine Wood". The formation of gloomy wood has been long-standing. According to the records of the verified data: In ancient times, the precious ancient trees in the primeval forests suffered sudden major geographical and meteorological changes, such as earthquakes, mountain torrents, lightning strikes, typhoons, etc., some were buried deep in ancient riverbeds of rivers and lakes, under mud and sand, and some were buried in dark strata that were hypoxic for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. They were washed by torrents, crushed by mud and stones, and fish pecked at crabs, resulting in different shapes and postures.

After thousands of years of abrasion in nature, gloomy wood has both the elegance of wood and the charm of stone. Its texture is solid and thick, the colors are black and luxurious, the cross-section is smooth and delicate, and the wood is oily, resistant to moisture and has fragrance. It will never rot for thousands of years, and will not be afraid of insect damage, and it is natural. It is recorded in ancient books that some tree species also have medicinal value.

In ancient times, great officials and literati and scholars regarded gloomy wood furniture and artworks carved from gloomy wood as heirlooms, treasures for housekeeping and evil-proof objects. Over the years, especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties, gloomy wood became the first choice for emperors to build palaces and make coffins. The Qing dynasty emperors listed it as a special material for the royal family, and the people could not use it privately, resulting in gloomy wood being even more rare. Yuan Shikai, a thief in the Republic of China, went against the trend of history, and the emperor died shortly after his dream. However, in order to show that he had an emperor's identity, his family tried his best to find gloomy wood and bought a coffin for him. Although this is a joke about history, it is also obvious that the value of gloomy wood is hard to find.

To a certain extent, this dark wood is no longer a wood, but a treasure series. In this remote mountains of Xiangxi, such a coffin with Yin wood suddenly appeared. The impact was too great.

Ouyang Tian was also a knowledgeable person. He circled around the coffin and his face became heavy: "How could Yinmumu's coffin appear here?"

"Dad, the most important thing is who is inside, right?" Luo Tian hesitated for a while: "Dad, do you want to open it and take a look?"

"This," Ouyang Tian was a little embarrassed. Since the coffin appeared under the family's sacrificial platform, the person in the coffin was entirely the ancestors of the family. The coffin that opened the ancestors was so ruthless. Ouyang Tian had been circling the coffin for a long time, but still couldn't make any idea: "Luo Tian, ​​this is probably not suitable."

Luo Tian knew what Ouyang Tian meant: "I know, we should not open it until we have to. Let's start with these around us first. Dad, look at the portrait of a woman engraved on the wall, guess who it is?"

"What?" Ouyang Tian was still making things difficult for him to open the coffin just now, and he didn't notice anything on the wall at all. After Luo Tian mentioned it, he saw the portrait on the wall. There was a Miao girl on the wall, looking very cute. The girl made Ouyang Tian's heart move. When he approached, he saw two words engraved on the wall - Junyao.

"Junyao, this should be the name of this girl." Luo Tian said: "Look at her dressed as Miao people and the silver jewelry on her body. Our clan is Han people, why are there portraits of Miao girls here? Dad, you said Ouyang Yi is a foreigner, and we changed our name after joining our clan, right?"

"Yes." Ouyang Tian said, seeing Luo Tian's eyes staring at the girl on the wall, his heart moved: "Do you want to say that Ouyang Yi is this Miao girl named Junyao?"

"Yes, I just feel this way." Luo Tian raised his courage: "Dad, I'm afraid I'm going to use my superpower again."

"No, I'll do it." Ouyang Tian said: "Compared with us, I live a relatively old age, and there is no stranger on me. Don't argue with me, I'll send you back to Cheng Zhen."

After Ouyang Tian finished speaking, he placed his hand on the portrait on the wall and closed his eyes... Although Ouyang Tian closed his eyes, Luo Tian knew that his father must have seen a lot of things because he was surprised and some... moved. I don't know how long it took, Ouyang Tian opened his eyes, and Luo Tian hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's going on?"

"You guessed it right. This girl is Ouyang Yi. As soon as I put my hand on, I saw some scenes. The person who carved this painting was her." Ouyang Tian looked back at the coffin: "The person inside is Ouyang Meng. It seems that we don't need to open the coffin anymore, because the lid of the coffin was covered by Junyao himself."

"Who is this Junyao?" Luo Tian asked.

"I'm afraid it's the Miao Gu girl." Ouyang Tian said: "After I saw her carving her portrait here, I walked to Ouyang Meng's coffin. At that time, the lid of the coffin had not been covered yet. She had the action of performing a Gu. Many flying insects flew into the coffin. Before they could fly out, Junyao closed the lid of the coffin. These behaviors were like the legendary Gu girl who made a Gu."

"Go Girl?" Luo Tian has heard more than once in film and television works or novels. Like driving corpses, it is also a mysterious witchcraft in western Hunan, and it is an unsolved mystery.

"But." Luo Tian was a little puzzled: "What does the fragment have to do with the Gu girl?"

Ouyang Tian smiled bitterly: "The jar she held in her hand was a garlic pot, which was exactly the same as the garlic pot restored by Lao Fu using modern technology. Do you think this would be a coincidence?"

The garlic pot that was used to pretend to be a worm seems to be wrong in the direction of Yelang ancient country from the beginning, but why did he hear a lord call him when he touched the garlic pot? According to what he knew about the garlic pot, the gu women attach great importance to the worms, and it is impossible to let them escape from their side. Most of the gu women are hiding in the mountains and have no connection with the lord anymore. Luo Tian saw Ouyang Tian looking at the portrait on the wall thoughtfully: "Dad, have you thought of something?"

Ouyang Tian said: "From the beginning, we only knew that this woman came a little strangely."
