"And this coffin was made by a master, and the price is not low." Li Shengnan was curious.

"Now there are not many people who understand this craft."

Lin Jie's heart moved, and this was true.

Nowadays, land resources are in short supply, and cremation has been achieved in various places, and it has been a long time since the burial.

Therefore, coffins are rare, and I heard that in the past, people who do this industry need to be inherited first, and then there must be a ceremony.

There are many ways here, focusing on three long and two short, five ghosts and four evil spirits.

The so-called three long and two short. In the past, it was said that the coffin was three long and two short because there were six pieces of coffins, four long and two short. However, the lid of the coffin was covered only after the person died, so it was called three long and two short.

In fact, when you start to become a disciple, three long and two shorts are worth three long incense and two candles. This thing is originally for the dead and can be enjoyed by living people. However, in the ceremony, this thing is worshipped by one's own longevity card, which means there are no taboos and wandering around yin and yang.

The other five ghosts and four evil spirits are called wandering souls in the five directions and four-faced star evil spirits.

In the past, three things were most taboo for burials: one was wandering souls and wild ghosts, the second was the evil spirits, and the third was the vitality of living creatures.

The former is best understood. This star fights evil evil is the most difficult to prevent. Generally, corpses are contaminated with the stars and moonlight, which is easy to transform into corpses, so they should be avoided.

In addition, it is easy to deal with the anger of living creatures, that is, there cannot be any cats and dogs in the mourning hall, otherwise it will easily defraud the zombie if you suck it. The most famous of them is the cat-faced old lady.

Therefore, when people who made coffins in the past had to start, they had to make three long and two shorts to sacrifice to the five ghosts and four evil spirits.

Of course, in addition to this, there are many other ways. After doing it, you can only get started. After learning for three years, you can open a business.

"What makes people feel most uncomfortable is that the color of the coffin is purple-black." Li Shengnan's body shrank, as if he was instinctively resistant to mentioning this.

"Purple-black?" Lin Jie was stunned.

In fact, the customs of each place vary from place to place.

In the past, black coffins were used to die from swords and weapons, red coffins were used for funerals, white coffins were used for women who died prematurely or were not married, and there were also log coffins, which were carried by the elderly in the family. If they did not die for a day, they would not be colored for a day.

Of course, after that, there was no such thing as much attention.

However, this is the first time I heard of Lin Jie, who is purple and black.

"I used to interview a folklore professor. He said that in the past, there were also purple-black coffins in some places, but they were all used to bury ominous people." Li Shengnan said suddenly.

"Ominous person?"

"Yes, because of feudal ignorance in the past, some people gave birth to deformed fetuses, such as having an extra arm or a conjoined baby, etc., were regarded as ominous people and monsters. After they died, they could not enter the ancestral hall, but could only be buried in purple and black coffins, and could not leave their names." Li Shengnan said.

"Is your uncle a deformed?"

"Your uncle is the one." Li Shengnan said speechlessly.

"Besides, even if it is, it won't be like this. What era is it?"

"That's right." Lin Jie nodded and said, "You keep going."

Li Shengnan thought for a while and continued, "Actually, it would be fine if it was just like this. If there was no future, there would be no stranger."

"What happened?" Lin Jie's heart moved.

His intuition told himself that the guarding body around Li Shengnan is likely to be related to this matter.
