The coffin goes down the river...
Xu Lang frowned slightly. At this time, the coffin was less than ten meters away from them. He was already able to see the whole picture clearly.
That is an empty coffin!
The coffin lid has disappeared, but the surface of the dark lines is very smooth, it seems that the burial time should not be long.
Inside the coffin, it was completely flooded with water. Xu Lang glanced at it, and it was dark inside, and he didn't know what was hidden under the dirty water.
It looks like aquatic plants, but also like some kind of aquatic creatures, wriggling in the coffin, and it makes people physically uncomfortable at a glance.
Huang Hui was squatting down by the stream and drinking water. Suddenly, such a thing drifted down the river. She looked at a handful of water in her hand and sprinkled it out with a damn sound. She stepped back two steps, retching constantly.
Looking at the coffin getting closer, Gu Chunxia also took two steps backwards with a bad face, and supported Huang Hui.
Xu Lang didn't have any strange feelings. There were too many things like this, and a small coffin couldn't scare him. Then he snarled at Wuming.
Wumingzhi nodded, and rushed into the stream vigorously. Although the current was relatively turbulent, it was only a creek after all. Wuming's posture was extremely stable. He came to the front and buckled the coffin board and threw it behind him.
The coffin was drawn in the direction of Xu Lang along the flow of the water. Wuming used a very delicate force. When he arrived in front of Xu Lang, the force had already been unloaded. Xu Lang gently stopped, and the coffin stopped.
Xu Lang pulled the coffin to the shore. Although the coffin was not heavy, it weighed about 20 kilograms after being soaked in water.
Xu Lang quickly buckled the coffin, and the dirty water in it suddenly dripped from the bottom of the coffin. When it opened again, a large handful of light green water plants and a frog jumped from the ground twice and fled hurriedly. go with.
When Xu Lang saw this, he frowned slightly, then took out the knife and looked at the "waterweed" carefully, feeling even more puzzled.
Wuming came to the front at this time, "What have you found?"
Xu Lang retracted the dagger into the scabbard and said slowly: "It turned out to be straw!"
"Straw again?"
"Yes, it's straw again!"
Not long ago, Xu Lang had already determined that straw was of great symbolic significance to Taohua Village, and at this time, an incomplete coffin of unknown origin contained a large piece of straw.
Then it is obvious that this coffin is from Peach Blossom Village!
Wuming squatted on the ground and looked at the dirty dirt carefully.
"Why don't you see the bones?"
Xu Lang shook his head: "This coffin is probably from Taohua Village, or it may have been destroyed by the heavy rain yesterday, and it went down the river. The contents including the lid of the coffin should have been destroyed and lost. Up."
Then he pointed his finger to both sides of the coffin: "You see, there are traces of rivets here. Only the coffin nails can use nails of this length. Such holes are not used by other nails.
Secondly, this coffin should be made of peach wood. The workmanship is extremely exquisite. Look at the edges and corners of the coffin. It has no edges and no seams. There are only a few fresh impact marks on the whole body. It is absolutely flawless. .
Look at the bottom of the coffin, there is about 1.6 to 65 meters, and the upper part is about 1.5 meters to 1.5 meters! This is unreasonable! "
Wuming and the surrounding Rong Chuan and others heard the clouds, mountains and mists, and Xu Lang's words about the coffin were very shocking. After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to touch the coffin, even now that the family has died, cremation is popular.
Wuming shook his head and said, "I don't know much about traditional funeral culture, so just tell me."
Xu Lang circled the coffin, pushed his glasses, and said: "The ancient method of making coffins in our country had four rules, that is, "Seven feet and three buries all the people under heaven". That is to say, all coffins must be With a length of two meters and four, the space inside is about a handful of meters to 1.9 meters for modern people.
This can be applied to almost all types of coffins, but this coffin is obviously smaller than the normal size by one size!
However, from what I said before, the function and materials of this coffin are perfect. It can be said to be perfect. Why is there a mistake in the size? "
Wuming nodded thoughtfully, "Then you mean..."
Xu Lang firmly said: "This coffin was made for someone! And it is very likely that Taohua Village is a village that attaches great importance to funeral rituals. They will tailor the coffin for the dead.
Their importance to death is many times higher than that of outsiders! "
Wuming and Rong Chuan looked at each other, Xu Lang's remarks were justified and well-founded, and the analysis was extremely logical.
But Xu Lang hadn't finished speaking, he immediately patted the coffin board, "This coffin is made of willow, do you know what this means?"
Anonymous subconsciously asked: "What?"
"Peach wood is the wood that drives evil and avoids evil. There is a legend of peach wood to fight ghosts, but this kind of wood is by no means a good material for coffins. The people of Taohua Village attach so much importance to funeral rituals, but they chose a wood that does not fit the coffin.
This means that... the people in Taohua Village already know the existence of evil spirits, and it is very likely that the age is very long, and over time, even for the burial, they have chosen alternative wood! "
Wuming suddenly realized that, looking at this coffin, he did not expect that a simple coffin could be analyzed by Xu Lang to find so many clues.
He was a little unbelievable. He looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Why do you know so much about the coffin."
This sentence is also what other people want to ask. After all, ordinary people rarely touch these things in their lives. They can't help but be a little puzzled when they hear Xu Lang's words.
Especially John, who is a foreigner himself, is more interested in this kind of completely ignorant, even never heard of it.
Xu Lang smiled and said: "After I received the mission, I guessed that this mission was related to the dead, and it was related to Taohuayuan. Then the dead and the burial might be related, so I have been watching the relevant on the plane. The data is a temporary holdover."
When Rong Chuan heard this, he swallowed. He has a strong logical reasoning ability. Just after receiving the task, he realized the information related to the task and temporarily studied it, which can be used in real life.
Such a powerful mind, the top wise man in the newspaper is really well-deserved.
Xu Lang went on to say: "So now, the people of Taohua Village can live with evil spirits for so many years, and they still haven't died. This shows that they have a way to fight evil spirits, as long as we have the same control. With this method, then the mission requirement of living for three days is likely to be completed!
The direction of life has been pointed out for us! After we arrive at Taohua Village, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, pay attention to the villagers' living habits and special actions, and strive to complete the task as soon as possible! "
I have to say that through a simple coffin, it is possible to find a way to live, which is already an extremely remarkable result.
Even Xu Lang himself found it very strange. It may be that the tasks he experienced recently were too profound and complicated. For him, this ordinary-level task was a breathing opportunity.
Rong Chuan, John and others, hearing Xu Lang's words, it can be said that the original low morale has finally risen.
Even Huang Hui has a slight smile.
Xu Lang's mood is very good, because from now on, the main mission has already had a slight development, and there is no possibility of traps, which means that all his conjectures up to now still have a high probability of being established.
Xu Lang waved his hand and said to everyone: "It's now more than three o'clock in the afternoon. Let's quickly enter Taohua Village. We must arrive before eight o'clock!"
Everyone nodded and didn't dare, after all, after eight o'clock, they would all die for violating the mission rules.
Several people started heading upstream without stopping.
After walking for about an hour, Xu Lang and the others came to a Taniguchi, and Wuming stood on a stone platform, looking far away.
Said to everyone: "The sights around here are not much different from what the driver said at the beginning, and there are large patches of rubble scattered in the front of the Taniguchi. It must be the heavy rain yesterday, which has exposed Taniguchi!"
Xu Lang was overjoyed and waved quickly, "Let's enter Taniguchi!"
Taniguchi was like a small gourd mouth, and the stream was flowing out of it, like an inverted gourd pouring water.
Looking at Xu Lang, he couldn't help but sigh for the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature. Everyone came to Taniguchi and changed to a straight formation, because the intersection in front of him was very narrow and could only accommodate one person.
When the stream arrived here, the water was already very gentle, but it just overflowed everyone's ankles, unnamedly fighting in the head.
The scene ahead was a bit dark, and the nameless night eyes helped a lot, leading everyone through the Taniguchi with great pains.
After Taniguchi, there is a large peach blossom forest. This season, the pink peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the birds are crying everywhere. It is refreshing and refreshing to look at.
The expression on Xu Lang's face at this time began to become extremely cold, because he knew that the task at this time was about to officially begin.
The weirdness of Taohua Village will be fully revealed, and the evil spirits they will face this time will also appear on the stage.
Xu Lang checked his watch. It was seven o'clock in the evening. They arrived an hour earlier.
Xu Lang had speculated before that the task was so precise that the time at eight o'clock in the evening was given. It is likely that something special or important will happen in Taohua Village at eight o'clock.
The executors must be involved.
At this time, he finally arrived at Taohua Village. Looking at the peaceful and peaceful scene in front of him, Xu Lang's heart was calm, because he knew the people of Taohua Village, and he must have known their arrival.
This was what they were looking forward to, Chen Wenjin and the old lady used various means to guide them in.
At this time, Xu Lang is here! (End of this chapter)
