Chapter 72 The Long-Disappeared Zijin Coffin
"It's okay if I want it. I want all the commission. If you lose 800,000 yuan, you can get it for me. If you have more than 800,000 yuan, you can keep it. Aunt Qin's business is not over yet. I will arrange it for you when I meet you, so you can do it yourself."
"No, you're obviously a lion's mouth. Where did I get you so much money?"
"You don't fool people anymore. You are just a stolen bad water and want to embezzle my money. You think it's so beautiful. If you want, we will leave now. If you don't want, I will go out for breakfast."
Zhang Qiling had no choice but to agree. At this time, there was no price increase in anything. There was such a problem in Yanjing city, and even the media couldn't explain it clearly. Although the police station would find a way to calm it down, whether it was catching ghosts or collecting monsters, who would do it if the money was not enough?
Besides, do I know this guy? He said 200,000 yuan, but the actual price is at least ten times higher.
I stood up and went back to the room. Xiaodie wrapped in a towel and was about to go to the bathroom. I hugged her waist and whispered, "Wife, I'll go out and I'll be back soon. If you are hungry, cook by yourself. If you don't want to cook, go out to eat."
Xiaodie sighed, turned around and hugged me abnormally, and nodded with a smile. I wanted to ask her, but I thought maybe it was because I didn’t have time to accompany her.
I put on my coat, turned around and left the room. Zhang Qiling and Xiao Ai and the others greeted me and went out.
These tasks are actually not that complicated. This happened in Yanjing City yesterday, and many people must have died.
Zhang Qiling took me to the charity village not far from the foot of the Ivory Mountain. I got out of bed and looked around. There was not even a ghost, so what could it be?
The charity village is old, so I know that the places where they drive away corpses are at most just taking customers.
I sighed, walked over and pushed open the gate of the Yizhuang Village. There were some coffins placed in the courtyard, but they were all empty.
Zhang Qiling walked up to me and said, "This time the matter is very simple. We only need to stay here for three days. In three days, someone will take over our position. Then we will take the money and leave."
"Who is so rich? I spent 800,000 just to see us for three days of coffin?"
"Who else can it be? I, this place has become like this. Who would like to spend money to hire you capable people? Think about it, I only cost eight yuan to drive the corpse for someone else. From Xiangxi to Sichuan, now I only need to guard the chariot for three days for 800,000 yuan."
"That was the past, you didn't fool people. This trip must be more than that, right? You old fry, how much private money have you hidden?"
Zhang Qiling gave me a blank look, turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall next to me.
The ancient charity houses are divided into three places: a courtyard, a ancestral hall, a corpse washing room and a morgue. The courtyard is used to receive temporary residences near the deceased. The ancestral halls worship the famous, powerful and wealthy landlords in the local category.
The corpses parked in the ancestral hall can be as many as a few months or as many as hundreds of years. Where the charity farm can be established, they will also adhere to the ancestral teachings. The corpses will not be closed until they return to their hometowns.
The corpse washing room is not a place to clean the body of the deceased, but an operating room to clean the body. In the early years, there was a saying that male and female Zhang had always driven male corpses, while the Zhang family had always driven female corpses.
A major taboo for corpse-driven people is to drive men away or not, and male corpses cannot be mixed with female corpses. In order to change this custom, some Taoists will send them to clean themselves after the consent of the deceased's family.
Only after purifying the corpse, the male corpse and the female corpse will not intersect. The morgue also has a special meaning, only receiving corpse-driven people and not finding the surrounding neighbors.
When the gate of the ancestral hall was pushed open, a purple gold coffin caught my attention. If I remember correctly, this should be the second purple gold coffin we encountered.
Zhang Qiling looked at it for a long time before explaining, "Now you should understand what you are doing when you come to us, right? This coffin has been placed here since the charity village was established, and it was not until a few days ago that someone came to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown."
"It takes less than two or three hundred years? By the way, how can you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors? The bones are almost gone, can you test your DNA?"
"The original corpse in the coffin has disappeared, and now it is not a good person lying inside."
I looked at Zhang Qiling with disdain, walked to the coffin and lowered my head to smell it, and a unique sandalwood dispersed.
This coffin is worth at least hundreds of thousands of yuan. Although the body of the coffin is not carved with dragon patterns, there are six phoenixes carved on the bottom of the coffin.
From ancient times to the present, there have been words like men, dragons, women and phoenixes. The one that sealed Han Xiao was the nine-turn purple gold coffin, and this one was the six-turn purple phoenix coffin.
No matter how you look, it wasn't right. I smashed my mouth and asked, "Old man, does this purple gold coffin also have a dragon and phoenix coffin? Don't you think it's very strange?"
Zhang Qiling sat on the chair beside him and said intriguingly, "There are three kinds of longevity materials in this world that can be called dragon and phoenix coffin, purple gold coffin, large coffin with a raised head and inch coffin. Do you think there is one?"
"Then will the owner of this phoenix coffin have any contact with Han Xiao? If there is really a connection, then we can look for it. Maybe we can really use her to defeat Han Xiao?"
"It's been so many years, and the corpse has turned into ashes. I want to find you yourself."
I sighed and opened the lid of the coffin. When I opened it, I was stunned. Although the lying inside the coffin had turned into a corpse, whether it was about her figure or appearance, it was exactly the same as Zhang Qiling.
The phoenix coffin contains a male corpse, and the boss of the charity village really doesn't know anything. I reached out and pinched the face of the corpse, which was elastic!
"Zhang Qiling, can this be your brother? Look, he looks exactly the same as you."
"Shut up your stinky mouth, my mother gave birth to me only. What if this corpse is fake?"
I pulled off the yellow talisman from the corpse's forehead. Before I could react, the corpse kicked me out.
Zhang Qiling was stunned for a while, calmly picked up the talisman from the table and pasted it back. Although this old guy had no real material, he really had a good way to deal with dead bodies.
I rubbed my chest, walked back to the coffin and put the body down. After looking closely, I was really scared.
In addition to having longer teeth and smelly teeth, the face is a little whiter and the hands and feet are harder. I really can't find any difference from Zhang Qiling.
Seeing that I looked at it for a long time, he stood up impatiently and closed the lid of the coffin. He was a little suspicious, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why.
Just as I was about to give up this idea, I remembered my grandfather's words. Seeing Zhang Qiling sitting aside and smoking a pipe, I reached out to pull his beard and face.
"What are you bastard?"
