Xia Houyun heard this and replied: "Opening the coffin and setting up a candle is a rule set by the ancestor of the Laoyu Sect. This Heavenly Official Candle is not made of paraffin, but is refined from shark oil. It is the so-called 'squid nature connects the underworld' , candles made from its grease can connect yin and yang."
Xia Houhao, the founder of Faqiu Tianguan, believes that among the five elements, "earth contains four elements". Everything in the world is born from the earth and then returns to the earth. Therefore, earth is also called the "mother of all things" and is the life attribute of Faqiu Sect. This A lineage has been wandering under the loess for years, and only by guarding its fate can it ensure its immortality.
There are two places where the earth attribute is extended to the directions, namely "Northeast" and "Southwest". The southwest is the "Kun" hexagram, which is opposite the door of death; the northeast is the "Gen" hexagram, which happens to be the door of life. , so Xia Houhao determined the northeast position as the destiny of Faqiumen.
However, in ancient tombs, under various complicated circumstances, it is often not possible to distinguish the north, south, east, and west. It would be fine if you had a compass in your hand, but if you lose the compass, wouldn't you be blind? Xia Houhao thought for a long time and could only improve it and label each important part of the ancient tomb in detail. For example, the coffin in the tomb has the head of the coffin as north and the end of the coffin as south. Just look at the head and tail. If you can't even recognize the head and tail, then you may not be suitable for this profession.
This is why Xia Houxiang placed the Heavenly Official Candle in the northeast of the coffin, and the reason why he chose a position more than one foot away from the head of the coffin is because it is almost at the same level as the left shoulder of the corpse in the coffin. The ancients believed that people have two life lamps. The left shoulder is a yin lamp and the right shoulder is a yang lamp. The yang lamp controls the body's energy and energy when it is born. As long as the yang lamp is not extinguished, ordinary wandering ghosts cannot get close to the human body. Even if there are deep ghosts, they will only put their hands on the left shoulder when the ghosts touch their shoulders. Remember not to Turn your head to the left to look. The best way is to keep walking without looking back. If you really can't help it, you can choose to slowly turn your head to the right. This will ensure that the sun fire does not shake, and even the evil ghost will not be able to do anything to you.
In addition to the Yang lamp, there is also a Yin lamp on the left shoulder of the person. This is the "hanging corpse lamp" and will always be attached to the bones after death. Even if the skin and flesh are rotten, as long as the bones are still there, the Yin lamp will not go out. Before the person's main soul "fetal light" enters reincarnation, it sits on the body and guards this shadow lamp. It will not enter reincarnation until the skin and flesh rot, but the last trace of consciousness left before leaving is also left behind. Above the Yin Lamp, so even if a person rots into a skeleton, there will still be some residual will left in the Yin Lamp.
The Tianguan candle lit by Xia Houxiang has the function of yin and yang. How to determine good or bad luck depends on the burning state of the flame. If the flame is faintly glowing with green light, it means that the corpse in the coffin is not a good stubble, which is related to the life of the coffin owner. Good or evil nature has nothing to do with it. After all, no matter how kind your soul is, you will not allow you to lift the lid of your own coffin. That is not called kindness, that is called a brain disease. If you really had that kind of enlightenment, you would have become a Buddha long ago. The actual situation of the flames glowing green It is because of the reflection produced by the Yin lamp, and there are only two explanations for this phenomenon of the Yin lamp entering the Yang: one is that the corpse in the coffin has undergone a corpse transformation; the other is that the main soul has not yet reincarnated, and is carrying a fierce resentment. In other words, the owner of the coffin died in vain.
There is a saying that "when you think about it, when you think about it, it will come." Xia Houyun was explaining the function of the Tianguan candle. Not long after Xia Houxiang lit the candle, the flame suddenly flickered twice, and then it turned all green. Xia Houyun suddenly stopped talking. The Taoist priest with a grimace looked at the strange green fire that was dancing on the Tianguan Zhu, and said suspiciously: "Is this what the senior said about 'green light'?"
"Um…"
"That means this might be a murderous coffin?" He Siniang looked around, and then asked: "In this case, can the coffin still be opened?"
"People in the Laoxie Sect usually choose to open the coffin. After all, there are no taboos in reverse fighting. All you need to do is take precautions such as corpse locks. I just don't know if you will open the coffin or not when encountering evil on weekdays?"
The Taoist priest with a grimace replied: "We usually open the coffin to know whether it is good or bad. How can we have such a method? But with the four factions gathered here, why are we afraid of zombies and other things? Come on, just tie the corpse on the coffin. Lock it, let’s open the coffin now.”
Because there was a single coffin on the ground, Luo Laoqi quickly opened the lid of the coffin. After pulling out half of the lid, the body inside was also exposed.
Lying in the wooden coffin was a female corpse. Judging from her appearance, she must be Han Chinese. Her hair ornaments were very simple, and she only had a high bun and a sideways bun. "Bu Yao" is a kind of hairpin with hanging beads. It is named because the hanging beads keep shaking when walking. Bu Yao was originally a hair ornament that could only be worn by empress dowagers and empress dowagers. It was not until the mid-Han Dynasty that it gradually became popular among the public. It was also limited to nobles. Later, it was not until the end of the Jin Dynasty and the Sixteenth Kingdom that Bu Yao really became popular with the common people. The high bun and Bu Yao were mostly chosen by high-end dancers or courtesans at the end of the Jin Dynasty.
Look at the face of the female corpse again. Underneath the makeup is a pale but delicate face. The corpse is very well preserved. It doesn’t look like it has been dead for a hundred years. It is as if it was buried just yesterday. When the grimace Taoist priest saw the state of the female corpse, he was immediately stunned. Thinking of the three naked corpses in the banquet pool, he then raised his head and glanced at the countless square holes on the wall of the tomb, vaguely feeling that he understood something.
There was only the female corpse in the coffin, without any burial objects. Luo Laoqi rummaged through the brocade quilt under the female corpse, but in the end he couldn't find any gold or silver utensils. The Taoist priest with a grimace said to him: "Don't rummage, be careful." It turns around and bites your hand. There is no way there is any burial object in this coffin. It can even be said that this female corpse itself is the burial object of Shi Zhou Huozhu."
"Did the Taoist master see something wrong?" He Siniang asked.
The Taoist priest with a grimace replied: "I only made the association from the banquet in Guanchi. Do you think this is the place where Shi Zhou Hezhu used the golden house to hide his beauty?"
When Xia Houyun heard this, he was surprised and asked: "Does the Taoist mean that all the coffins in the tomb are women?"
"Pin Dao feels that it is very close to ten. It is difficult for us to get a full picture of Shi Zhou Huozhu's specific character, but based on the fact that he is enjoying the banquet in the pond, he is definitely a lecherous demon. Pindao was very curious when he was walking in the hall. There are so many lamp niches. If all the oil lamps inside are lit, wouldn't the hall be as bright as day? Especially there is a huge bronze lotus lamp in the center, which may not be used in the palace. That Shi Zhouhezhu Why is a small hall in the underground palace so bright? Now think about it... isn't it just the bright lights that are prepared for it to turn over the cards every night? "
When the grim-faced Taoist priest said this, He Siniang, Xia Houyun and others all understood that this tomb was probably filled with all kinds of beauties that Shi Le had snatched for his father. Most of these beauties might have come from famous dancing and prostitutes among the Han people, so they found out that Shicai chose a high bun and a step-up look. They were made into zombies like the naked corpses in the banquet pool, and then put into coffins to be buried with Shi Zhou Huozhu, so that Shi Zhou Huozhu could enjoy the beauty at another time, and the reason why the tomb was designed like this , the only explanation is that there are too many female corpses and there is not much place to place them. Making a honeycomb shape can not only save space, but also facilitate Shi Zhou Hezhu's "beauty contest" under the chandelier in the hall. Isn't it a beautiful and beautiful way?
