Chapter 135
Seeing Wang Erxiao, the strong man spoke more politely and was no longer so aggressive.
However, he was clumsy and had a heavy accent. It took him a long time to make the matter clear.
It turned out that he was a militia platoon leader.
Because the owner of a coffin shop here died, and a big hole collapsed under his house.
The militia platoon leader volunteered to go down to investigate the situation and found a stone box below.
When he took it up and opened it, he found that there were six strange jade beasts that were as red as blood.
At that time, there were still village cadres, and the matter was reported to the archaeological team. Professor Sun heard about it and rushed over immediately.
In order to maintain order and protect the site from being destroyed, Professor Sun asked the village militia to stop the idle people outside the village and prevent them from entering to watch.
So the militia platoon leader took chicken feathers as a token of authority and led people to set up checkpoints at various intersections to prevent outsiders from coming in.
After Hu Bayi asked clearly, he planned to use soft tactics and give him some money to let him go, so he took out five yuan to give him.
But at this time, another person came from behind and greeted the militia platoon leader, saying that the old cadre who brought the archaeological team was dead.
Suddenly hearing this, Yang Xueli's mind buzzed regularly.
The old cadre who brought the archaeological team, wasn't that Professor Sun?
The task of asking him to help decipher the Dragon Bone Book has not been completed yet. If he died, there would be no hope.
But he continued to listen to the militia's report. It turned out that people had been down for more than an hour, but there was no movement. No one responded when they shouted inside, which scared the people above.
The cave was cold and chilly. It was said that there was a netherworld below. After a while, it was said that an adult died in it, so the village chief asked someone to find the platoon leader to go back and help.
After a lot of soft and hard talk, the militia platoon leader led Shen Hao and others to the stone tablet shop behind the hillside.
Speaking of this stone tablet shop, the name comes from an unknown stone tablet nearby. The stone tablet is very tall. It is unknown which dynasty it was left from. It is so old that the handwriting on it has become blurred.
However, the most famous thing in this stone tablet shop is the coffin shop where the old shopkeeper died.
There is only this coffin shop in the nearby villages, including Gulan County, because the other coffin shops cannot compete with it and have been shut down.
There is also a legend about this matter.
It is said that the shopkeeper was a carpenter in his early years.
Once, the carpenter made a coffin for a family. Before it was painted, the semi-finished product was placed in the shop.
At night, when the carpenter was drinking in the shop, he thought about the difficulty of doing business. He only got one job in half a month. He couldn't help but sigh and pat the coffin, and finally fell asleep on the coffin.
At that night, he had a dream. He dreamed that there was a ball of ice in the coffin. He was so cold that he shivered all over, as if he fell into an ice cellar.
In the middle of the night, he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw that someone in the same village had died and came to him to order a coffin overnight.
The carpenter was very happy, but he couldn't show it. In order to express his grief, he patted the coffin again. After receiving the deposit, he got busy again.
As a result, shortly after the sun rose in the morning, someone else came to order a coffin.
This made the carpenter feel strange. Usually, only ten people died in the village every year, but two died at this time.
He suddenly remembered the dream he had last night and how many times he had patted the coffin. Could it be that those people died because he patted the coffin with his hands?
So he patted the semi-finished coffin again, and before dark, someone really died again.
The carpenter was surprised and happy. Although he didn't understand what was going on, wasn't this his way to make money?
So whenever business was slow, he would tap the coffin and business would come immediately.
From then on, this carpenter's shop became a coffin shop.
Later, he discovered a secret, that is, when tapping the coffin, the harder he tapped, the farther away the dead person was.
It is said that it is easy to make money from the dead, and he made more and more money, and his heart became darker and darker, until he swallowed up all the coffin shops in the nearby villages and even the county town.
When there was no business, he tapped the coffin twice and waited for business to come.
But this matter was very strange no matter how you look at it, and the carpenter did not dare to tap randomly, and always kept a limit.
Although the carpenter hid this secret very deeply, as the saying goes, there is no wall that is impenetrable in the world. After decades, the news finally leaked out and was known by outsiders.
Although there was no evidence and no way to deal with him, everyone avoided him, like avoiding the plague god.
In the end, he died alone and did not even marry a wife.
Not long ago, the old carpenter died at home. His body was not discovered until it rotted and stank.
But all the coffins in his shop were sold out, and there were onlyHe had a coffin shop, and only the half-finished coffin was left.
The village committee found a few brave militiamen, packed the body in a sack and prepared to put it in the coffin for burial.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the coffin was moved, a big crack appeared on the ground, and the cold air inside was overwhelming, and the cold wind blew out.
Everyone was curious, so they dug up the floor tiles and found a cave underneath.
Then it was the militia platoon leader who went down to check.
Shen Hao and his men followed the militia platoon leader to the stone tablet shop.
From the hillside, the village was quite neat and orderly.
A huge stone tablet stood on another hillside not far away, and the words on it had long been unclear.
Under the stone tablet, there was a headless stone beast, which looked a bit like a bixi.
When passing by, everyone took a few glances.
This didn't look like a tombstone. The terrain nearby was scattered, and it didn't look like an ancient tomb.
Everyone followed the militia platoon leader to the coffin shop at the east end of the village.
There were many villagers outside watching the excitement, and several burly militiamen stopped them from entering.
When they walked in, the village chief was very anxious.
They were experts from the archaeological team from the province, and there was no news until now. They were very anxious.
Hu Bayi went forward to negotiate, saying that he and his friends were also from the archaeological team, and they knew Professor Sun and came to help.
He chatted with the village chief for a long time.
"Hey, who are they?"
Shen Hao looked outside at this time and found that many people came outside. After a closer look, they were all cultivators, with cultivation levels ranging from Qi Refining to Foundation Building.
The two leading people walked to the door of the coffin shop, took out their certificates, showed them to the militiamen, and were let in.
After entering, they scanned the room, stayed on Shen Hao and his friends for a few seconds, and then walked to the village chief.
"Hello, comrade. Are you the village chief?" asked a man in his thirties.
"Yes, I am. Who are you?" The village chief also saw the group of people and asked politely.
