The master once told me before he passed away.
After his old man's temples. I need a mahogany coffin. Put the master's bones into it.
The coffin must be buried vertically and lowered into the river. The water reached the eaves of the coffin.
Wait until the master's head is seven, and then drag the coffin out. When I am in a critical moment, I will open the coffin in public. The master said that this was the last time he would help me.
Although I have never been able to figure out the meaning of Master asking me to do this.
But I know that once you are a teacher, you will always be a father.
Over the years, my master has treated me closer than his own son. Throughout his life, he was revered as a semi-saint by the world. He was supposed to live peacefully to a hundred years old and then ride on a crane to become an immortal after his death.
But it was because of me that my master lost 30 years of life and lost his vitality. Even the coffin cannot be buried.
During these three days, I have been staying at home. Review some photo books from time to time to take care of your body and increase your internal strength.
My third uncle is responsible for helping me clean the room and cook. He also goes to the village from time to time. We are very warm and friendly with the fellow villagers.
In a blink of an eye, it was the first seven days of the master's life.
I hired a tow truck driver in the city, and a couple of decorators.
Uncle San said he has better water properties. Responsible for going down to the river and tying hemp rope on the coffin.
Then all you need to do is use a trailer to pull up the master's coffin.
Everything went smoothly until the moment when the master's red coffin was dragged to the shore. The workers responsible for the construction exclaimed.
"Ah! Snakes! So many snakes."
Only then did my third uncle and I notice that there were several large blue and white pythons as thick as a child's arms coiled on top of the master's coffin.
I stepped forward and counted them. one two three four……
"Nine, there are nine pythons in total!"
When the third uncle saw this, he twisted his wet clothes. Grinning loudly and complaining.
"When I tied the hemp rope under the water just now, why didn't I find so many snakes?
Don't worry, it's okay. Snakes are afraid of realgar. I'll go home and ask for some realgar wine, just dust it on the coffin! "
"You can't drive away snakes!" I shouted instantly.
"The snake is the little dragon! The nine snakes are the nine streets.
These pythons. All have snake tails and snake bodies hovering over the coffin. The snake's head faces outward. This is the legendary Nine Streets Coffin Pulling! "
"Nine Street Restaurants?" Third Uncle frowned.
"This thing doesn't seem to be a good sign, does it?"
Third uncle said.
"When I was going into the mountains, I was accompanied by several children who liked to get tattoos on their bodies.
Those kids seemed to have said that there are four kinds of tattoos. The God of Death is Bai Qi, the King of Qin is still alive, there is a coffin in the Nine Streets, a half-faced Tang Monk...and more, that seems to be it. "
I nodded calmly, with a heavy tone.
"That's right! Bai Qi, the God of Killing, is so murderous that King Qin can't carry him while he's still alive. The calamity of pulling the coffin on the Nine Streets is hard to eliminate, and the half-faced Monk of Tang Dynasty is hard to survive."
The Nine Streets Coffin Pulling originally refers to nine five-clawed dragons dragging the coffin.
The nine five-clawed dragons are all short-lived, which symbolizes a person's obsession.
In other words, that person's obsession can destroy the earth and the sky. Entire epochs can even be buried.
One dragon, lake and sky attracts wind and rain, while two dragons and two rivers prevent tigers from invading.
Three dragons can break through the sinking with one breath, and four dragons will be unworthy of the rivers and seas.
The five dragons are making trouble and the human emperor appears, but the six dragons are afraid to speak.
The seven dragons destroyed nine mountains in one rage, and the eight dragons destroyed the gods without stopping them.
When Jiujie was born, the world was in chaos, and the gods would not stop the Buddha.
If the green coffin was carried through the Nine Streets, it would cost tens of thousands of lives.
Who dares to lead the Nine Streets coffin without being the princes, generals and emperors?
This is a heaven-defying omen. If the deceased in the coffin can bear it, then the descendants of the deceased will be as rich as heaven and live forever.
But if the deceased in the coffin cannot be carried, then all the descendants of this family will die, and there will be no recovery!
However, fortunately, the master's coffin is red, not the traditional green coffin.
And the master has no descendants in this world. His old man had no wife, no children, and no children all his life. The closest person is me, my disciple.
"With such a vision, I'm afraid the master and his old man were robbed in the coffin!" I bit my lower lip and said with anxiety.
Uncle San asked me, scratching his head with melon seeds.
"You're all lying in a coffin, what kind of disaster can you expect? Could it be that you encountered an underwater tomb robber?"
I shook my head slightly.
"I don't know. I can't figure out what's going on with Master.
But I still obeyed the master's instructions. Wait until these snakes disperse. First transport his old man's coffin home. When encountering difficulties in the future, we can open the coffin to find out. "
"What about these snakes?" The third uncle was a little confused again.
"No problem! Jiujie Lacoffin is full of yin energy. Anacondas are also afraid of the strong morning sun."
I glanced at my watch. It was now about nine o'clock in the morning. It's a nice day today, hot and sunny.
"It won't take a few hours. When the sun gets brighter, these pythons will disperse on their own!"
As I spoke, I paid the bill for the man who drove the forklift and helped move the coffin. Send them back first.
Then my third uncle and I squatted by the river to prevent the master's coffin from being disturbed.
More than two hours had passed, and the sun had not reached its peak in the sky yet. One of the nine giant pythons wrapped around the coffin slowly left and dived into the water again.
We guarded the spot for another half, and the other snakes also retreated one after another.
Seeing that the coffin was out of danger, my third uncle and I worked together. I raised my head, and he raised his head.
They are both members of Xuanmen, and both have inner strength to protect their bodies. The two of us can easily carry a coffin weighing three to four hundred pounds.
After the master's coffin was sent home, I found an incense burner and placed it in front of the coffin. Then he inserted three sticks of incense into it.
The third uncle also brought drinks and some cooked fruits to help the master.
Today is not just the first seven days for the master, it’s past midnight. This is also the moment when my third calamity arrives.
The third catastrophe is the light catastrophe.
I know the thunder and fire tribulations. One calamity is thunder from heaven. The second calamity is the true fire of samadhi of the black dragon.
But what is this light tribulation, light?
I have been feeling uneasy in my heart.
Until about twenty minutes passed. The three sticks of fragrance inserted in the master's incense burner burned out naturally.
The third uncle pointed at the incense burner and sighed again.
"Wenchang, it's not a good sign that the incense burns to one long and two short."
As the old saying goes, people are afraid of three long and two short, and they are afraid of two short and one long.
This burning incense sign seems to indicate that the master has undergone a corpse transformation.
And throughout the whole day today, my right eyelid was beating fast, and my heart was pounding.
Could it be that tonight is the third calamity and am I really in fear of my life?
As time passed slowly, late night had arrived.
Neither my third uncle nor I dared to sleep, and the entire village turned off the electricity. Third uncle added more and more oil in the oil lamp.
Watch the hands of the watch move around and around!
Just as the pointer and minute hand coincide. Exactly 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise that shook the entire courtyard of our house.
