After taking a few steps forward, a luxurious mansion appeared in front of the three of us. The reason why it is said to be luxurious is because the area of this shady house is much larger than the houses with courtyards in the countryside.
In addition, rows of pines and cypresses are planted in front of the courtyard, and the leaves like thin needles give people the feeling of awning on their backs.
Walking a few steps further, I saw two strange beasts placed in front of the tomb, which were different from anything I had seen before. If it hadn't been for Xie Bugui's introduction, I would have never known that this was the legendary town. Grave beast.
Although the tomb-suppressing beast was carved from stone, its aura remained intact. Just sitting there, it revealed an inviolable majesty.
Especially those eyes, before they get close, you can feel a breathtaking pressure, which makes people feel like they want to kneel down.
Before I opened my mouth, Zhang Hazi had to say it first, I will be the master of your ancestors in this house. I can't see it with my eyes, but I can feel the majesty coming towards me. I'm a master at arranging this situation!
Xie Bugui is indeed a master, and he is a rare genius that our Xie family has encountered in hundreds of years. This tomb was built for himself during his lifetime. I heard from the older generation that when he died, there was no need for anyone to carry the coffin. A few giant pythons that came from nowhere carried the coffin and he was buried.
I saw Zhang Hazi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this, and then asked nervously, how many are there in total?
When Xie Bugui heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he immediately said to Zhang Hazi, "Don't worry, there are only five of them in total, it won't be a big deal."
After Zhang Hazi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether to comfort me or himself. He said to himself, Haha, haha, if there were just two more words, the world would not be what it is now. old.
What Zhang Hazi said was so weird, I was even more shocked when I heard it, so I hurriedly asked Zhang Hazi, two more are only seven, isn't it that the 'Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin' is the best match for the Feng Shui pattern?
As soon as I said this, not to mention Zhang Hazi looked at me with contempt, even Xie Bugui, who usually had no expression on his face, looked at me with disgust at this time.
Zhang Hazi didn't even give me any face, he just yelled, "I'm going to make you an ancestor, haha, 'Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin', have you read fantasy novels for a long time? You've become obsessed with it." Do you believe the words "Kowloon pulls the coffin" to deceive a three-year-old child?
I shook my head and said, five years ago, I might have believed it, but now...
I didn't finish what I said, but I believe they both understood the meaning.
Craftsmanship is not something that can be learned simply by looking at it. There must also be corresponding techniques and requirements for performing the technique. If any one of these links is wrong, all previous efforts may be wasted, and sometimes it may even cause backlash.
Coupled with the sectarianism, the inheritance of craftsmanship has become less and less. Zhang Hazi's village has a relatively good inheritance. For example, Xie Bugui's Xiejia Village has basically reached the point where Kun Xingshu is on the verge of extinction. .
Not to mention the art of exorcism. After my grandfather passed away, almost no one in the world knew the art of exorcism.
So how can the things written in those novels be craftsmanship? At most, the artistic conception is relatively accurate, which is very different from craftsmanship.
But having said that, this 'Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin' is indeed very picturesque. In addition, the giant python is also called a dragon among the people. It is buried by the giant python in the coffin. Even if you look around the country, you should not be able to find the second one. Two cases, right?
Zhang Hazi glanced at me sideways and said, "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin" is so artistic, how can a Habibi beat the "Seven-Level Pagoda"?
Let me tell you, these two are incomparable. One is a Taoist term and the other is a Buddhist term. They are both from different systems. How about a comparison? Now, if you use something from Buddhism to refute, isn't it a bit off topic?
Xie Bugui on the side spoke at this time. He said that although the seven-level pagoda was a term used by those monks, the giant python camel coffin craftsmen did call it "seven-level pagoda". It means sending people to live in bliss, not to enter reincarnation, and to become immortals and Buddhas.
Let me tell you, does anyone really believe this?
Although I have seen all kinds of weird things and my world view has long been fragmented, the first time I heard that the seven-level pagoda can send people to the bliss of eternal life, I still couldn't believe it.
Xie Bugui said that it was originally a legend. It is doubtful whether a giant python came over the coffin back then, let alone the "seven-level pagoda".
Xie Bugui's attitude makes me feel a little guilty. After all, this person is the genius ancestor of their Xie family, but I am talking about it in front of Xie Bugui, which does seem a bit impolite.
If an ordinary person saw me talking about his ancestors like this, he would probably have greeted me with his fists raised.
But it's better if he refuses to return, and he actually stands on my side and speaks for me! And he said it more harshly than me, as if the person lying inside was not from his tribe. His attitude made me feel that even if I didn't like the owner of the tomb, for Xie Bugui's sake, I still had to be a little respectful to the owner of the tomb - don't hit the smiling person with your hand, this is true everywhere. allow.
So I hurriedly changed the topic and said, but you said that this senior only had five giant pythons hunching over the coffin. How is this talking about Dharma?
He said, you don’t even know this? The five giant pythons and camel coffins naturally mean 'jumping out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements'.
Well, this statement is much more sophisticated than "Kowloon Pulling the Coffin". No wonder Zhang Hazi showed such a disdainful expression before. If it were me, I would probably be the same as him.
I briefly digested what I couldn’t write and said, and then asked him, do you believe this rhetoric?
He shook his head and said, which village doesn't have a few myths and legends? I guess this is the myth and legend in our village. After all, no one has ever seen the giant python and camel coffin again.
Zhang Hazi once said to me that in order to verify the existence of a craftsmanship, the craftsmanship must be verified and reusable. When I first heard about it, I thought Zhang Hazi When talking about experimental physicalism, the relevant regulations on experiments.
It is precisely because no one has seen the 'Seven-Level Pagoda' again, and no one has been treated similarly, that Xie Bugui has doubts.
When Zhang Hazi said it, it shouldn't be fake.
I asked, do you know?
He said that this is similar to the 'Baili Corpse Monument'. No one has used it for hundreds of years, so everyone thinks that this thing does not exist, but the 'Baili Corpse Monument' is a lesson learned from the past, so I would rather believe it. It's true.
There is some truth in what Zhang Hazi said, but whether this thing is true or not actually doesn't have much impact on me. After all, I just want to confirm whether I visited this place yesterday. As for other things, to be honest, I have no intention of paying attention to it now.
In this way, accompanied by Zhang Hazi on the left and Xie Bugui on the right, I finally came to the tombstone.
There is no photo of the owner of the tomb on the tombstone - even if there were, hundreds of years have passed and it would have been weathered into ashes. So logically speaking, I should not be able to tell whether I was here yesterday.
But when I saw a slightly dented mark on the tombstone, I felt bad instantly - because the dent was a palm print, and I almost didn't need to compare it. I knew it was mine. Palm print!
