Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 384 You are making trouble again, scratching the coffin

Eliminate evil and defend the way? Suppress?

Fuck!

Did I break the fucking law?

Otherwise, how can I associate these words with me? !

"Yubao, what do you mean?"

I shouted out the door.

But his eyes looked around the hall.

The doors and windows of the hall were closed.

There is a talisman pasted in the middle of each window.

The talisman with red characters on a yellow background is covered with a bright red seal.

There are quite a few talismans pasted on the windows.

Are these talismans used against me?

They think too highly of me.

I'm just a small tomb robber, there's no need to make such a big fuss about me.

As I thought about this, I looked towards the place where the statue was enshrined.

Strangely, there was only one statue enshrined in the spacious hall.

Moreover, the statue was covered with bright red satin.

It is impossible to tell which deity is being worshipped.

Usually the main deity is enshrined in the center of the hall, and other auxiliary deities are enshrined on both sides of the main deity.

It is rare to enshrine only one statue of a deity.

Even more bizarre is the altar in front of the statue.

The altar was high at one end and low at the other, and the bright red satin covering it hung down in an arc shape.

Obviously the table top is not flat, but curved.

Adding the nearly two-meter length of the altar...

I was suddenly startled.

This is not an altar at all!

It's clearly a coffin!

To verify my guess, I walked to the left side of the altar.

Grab the edge of the bright red satin and lift it up.

The small head of the coffin was exposed.

On the bright red lacquer base, the word "Shou" was written in gold.

There are five bat patterns next to the longevity character.

This is a picture of five blessings holding longevity.

High-end coffins often have auspicious designs painted on them.

Because the coffin is also called longevity material, the picture of five blessings holding longevity is one of the auspicious patterns often painted on coffins.

Why is the altar at Wong Tai Sin Temple a coffin?

What kind of god is enshrined behind the coffin?

I stared intently at the statue, which was completely covered with red satin.

I had the urge to tear off the bright red satin to see what was inside.

Just as I stretched out my hand and was about to tear off the bright red satin from the statue, I heard footsteps outside.

Judging from the footsteps, there are at least a dozen people coming.

Then came Yubao's voice, seeking credit: "Master, Master, I tricked Chen into the hall!"

"At first, Master He's paper figurine didn't scare him, so I tricked him into being in my good graces."

"I didn't expect him to be so stupid that he was fooled by just two words from me."

I was furious when I heard that.

This little brat had bad intentions from the very beginning!

It's also my own fault for being careless.

When Tuoye used to tell stories about the underworld, he often mentioned that one should be careful of the elderly, children and beautiful women when traveling in the underworld.

As the old saying goes, old people become more clever and smarter.

Anyone who can survive in the world of martial arts must have unique skills to survive in it.

But we can't take them lightly just because they are old.

Children are easily looked down upon and perceived as non-threatening.

But children who have been in the world since childhood are very different from ordinary children.

At a young age, they suffered hardships that ordinary children could not endure.

Having lived in an environment where the strong prey on the weak at an early age, their mental abilities are far superior to those of children of the same age.

If you are not careful, you will suffer a great loss from them.

There is no need to say much about beautiful women.

As the saying goes, even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women.

Few normal men can control themselves under the attack of beautiful women.

"Cough cough."

After the cough, an old voice came from outside the door: "Yubao, you are making trouble again."

"Master, why am I messing around?"

"I heard you and Uncle Chen talking about suppressing the evil and saying that everyone has the responsibility to fight against evil and defend the way of morality!"

"Although I'm young, I can still fight against demons and defend the Way!"

Yubao spoke with great confidence.

The Taoist priests nearby couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yubao jumped up in panic: "Uncle, Brother, what are you laughing at?"

"Can't I eliminate demons and defend the Way?!"

The oldest Taoist priest smiled and shook his head.

He grabbed Yubao's collar and said, "You misheard. The demon slayer we're talking about isn't Chen Shitou."

"It's something else."

"Why don't you open the lock quickly and apologize to the person."

"Ah?!" Yubao became dejected like a deflated ball.

"That's a mistake."

"I was so happy for nothing. I thought I would be rewarded by Master."

"Um... Master, you won't punish me by making me kneel down and incense burn, right?"

Click.

The lock was opened while they were talking.

Yubao pushed open the door of the palace and looked at me and hesitated for three seconds.

Only then did he come over reluctantly and apologize: "I'm sorry."

"I misunderstood the situation and mistook you for a demon."

"I beg your pardon."

The child apologized, and the elders and seniors were all outside.

Besides, when it comes to spirit possession, we still have to rely on Yubao.

I didn't pursue the matter any further.

"Forgive you."

After saying this, I asked the Taoist priests outside the temple, "Which Taoist priest is in charge?"

The Taoist priest with a gray goatee raised his hands in front of his chest.

He clasped his left hand over his right and bowed to me.

"Infinite life and blessings."

"I, Huang Yupu, will be in charge of the spirit-revelation tonight."

"Infinite blessings and longevity" is a greeting phrase often used by Taoists, meaning to wish the other person infinite blessings and longevity.

Later, storytellers spread the rumor that the Buddha was Amitabha among the people.

"Hello, Taoist Huang."

I clasped my fists in return and handed over the incense money I had prepared.

"Don't despise me for donating a little money to your temple."

Although it was arranged by Uncle Chen, I can't be ignorant.

Of course, the money for incense offerings should not be less.

"By the way, my friend should still be outside."

"Could any Taoist priest please help me get him in?"

Huang Yupu took the money with a smile: "No problem."

After saying this, he waved his hand and someone immediately ran out to pick up Boss Dong.

Other Taoists filed into the hall.

They formed two teams in front of the statue, each holding a musical instrument in their hands.

There are three pure bells, clangs, wooden fish, cymbals, drums, chimes, lead chimes, etc.

In some high-standard Taoist temples, rituals are accompanied by music from a Buddhist orchestra.

There are all kinds of musical instruments such as guqin, guzheng, flute, and xiao.

In Taoist rituals, it is believed that the sound of music can reach the heavens and the underworld.

The master's prayers are transmitted to heaven or hell through music, thus achieving the purpose of communication between heaven and man.

Huang Yupu stood beside me and nodded at the altar.

"Open it and take a look."

"Do you want to know why there is a coffin here?"

To be honest, I really want to know.

But after what happened with Yubao, I was still wary of them.

Instead, I feel like asking me if I want to know is digging a hole.

"Why do you need to ask this, Taoist Huang?"

"You always let me know what needs to be said."

"You won't say anything you shouldn't say even if I ask you."

"Hahaha." Huang Yupu smiled and tapped me twice with his index finger.

"You're still quite cunning despite being so young."

"This coffin has something to do with you."

"It contains the body of Saito Akihiro."

"A few days ago, Ye Han sent someone to deliver the body, saying that the ghost was still there."

"Let us perform a ritual to liberate the souls of the deceased."

what? !

The coffin contains Saito Akihiro's body?

He has been dead for almost seven days!

With the current temperature and humidity in Hong Kong Island, the corpse should be rotting and stinking!

But I didn't smell any rot at all!

This is wrong!

I was just feeling like something was wrong.

Then a sharp creaking sound was heard from the coffin.

That sound was made by scratching the coffin with fingernails!

Could it be Saito Akihiro's body...

Scratching the coffin!!!
