Over 10 minutes later, the adjutant had someone bring the tools for the Zhang family to open the whistle coffin.
The adjutant walked to Zhang Qishan's side and whispered to him,""Lord Zeng, be careful. This is a trap set by the pirates. If the Japanese pirates make such a situation, the coffin is filled with explosives. If you reach in and trigger it, then…So, Lord Zeng, you should go out and wait for the news. Leave this to me!”
Zhang Qishan listened to the adjutant's words and waved his hand."It's fine. Even if there are explosives inside, it's fine. Don't forget, the two-fingered probing is specialized in deciphering all kinds of subtle mechanisms. Even if there really is a bomb inside, with my strength, I can directly use two fingers to dismantle it! Besides, many of the experienced people our Zhang family brought from the northeast have already died on the battlefield. Now, they are already at a loss, and we are all brothers who have gone through life and death. I can't let them take the risk of losing their arms and losing their lives because of this Whistle Coffin!”
The adjutant wanted to continue persuading Zhang Qishan, but he said,"But…"
Zhang Qishan touched the big pipa scissors and interrupted the adjutant, asking,"Adjutant, how long has it been since we last used this pair of scissors?!”
"It's been three years and four months, Lord Zeng!" the adjutant whispered.”
Zhang Qishan heard the adjutant's answer and turned to Qi Tiezui,"Eighth Brother, help me hold it!"
When Qi Tiezui heard that Zhang Qishan wanted him to hold it, he hurriedly waved his hand and said,"Lord Zeng, I can't! Why don't you let someone else do it?"
Zhang Qishan looked at Qi Tiezui and said,"What?"! Don't dare to hold it? Eighth Brother, I want you to think carefully about whether your guess is accurate! If you have 60% confidence, then hold the gong. No matter what happens, no one in the Zhang family will blame you!”
When Qi Tiezui heard Zhang Qishan's words, he understood why Zhang Qishan asked him to hold the fort. He was afraid that his mouth would not shut and that his guess just now was all nonsense.
After understanding the reason, Qi Tiezui said to Zhang Qishan seriously,"Lord Zeng, the words I said just now are indeed what I think in my heart. Every word is based on evidence. Even if I, Sheng Xiao, don't have a blind mouth, I can't just talk nonsense about the reputation of the Qi family and the safety of the Buddha.!”
At this moment, Wang Ziyu looked at the warhorse, copper gong, and pipa scissors that the adjutant had brought over. He turned to Zhang Qishan and asked,"Lord Zeng, are we going to open the coffin in this hall?!”
"No," Zhang Qishan replied,"I'll open the coffin in the courtyard later!"”
After saying that, Zhang Qishan asked the adjutant to carry the stone coffin to the middle of the courtyard and put it away. Then, he pulled the curtains around it and let a few members of the Zhang family go up to the sentry tower to strengthen the defense.
Because Wang Ziyu watched TV dramas and didn't know why only the Zhang family could open the whistle coffin, he pulled Qi Tiezui beside him and asked in a low voice,"Eighth Master, why is it that only the Zhang family can open this whistle coffin?!”
Qi Tiezui explained to Wang Ziyu in a low voice,"The Zhang family has an ancestor called Zhang Yancheng. This person has a special way of robbing tombs. For example, if they encountered a coffin from a place of blood and evil, they would pour cow blood on the coffin to observe the reaction of the coffin. If there was any strange sound in the coffin, the coffin owner might have turned into a corpse. He would have people drag the coffin out of the ancient tomb and open it after being exposed to the sun. If there were no abnormal movements in the coffin, one would have to look at the surface of the coffin. In most cases, the cow's blood would not coagulate and would flow along the coffin to the bottom. This meant that there was nothing wrong and that one could open the coffin without worry. However, there was another rather special situation. After the cow's blood was poured on the coffin, it was like pouring on sand and stones. The blood seeped into the coffin, which was an even more ominous sign than the corpse transformation. This meant that the thing in the coffin might not be a human corpse, but an indescribable corpse, which was a demon corpse. At this time, Zhang Yancheng would order people to dig a hole on the spot, place the demon coffin in the pit, apply mud, and seal the coffin with molten iron, leaving only a hole at the top of the coffin that could only allow one hand to pass through. When the molten iron solidified, he entered the coffin with one hand and used two fingers to probe the contents of the coffin. When exploring the cave, he would order people to use a three-foot-long pipa scissors to clamp his arm while tying the handle to the ponytail so that if something was wrong, others could immediately pull the horse. If the horse was frightened and ran away, he would pull the mechanism and the sharp pipa scissors would immediately cut off his arm to save his life. The coffin was handled this way because there was a hole on the coffin that looked like a whistle. That was why this coffin was called the Whistle Coffin. There were actually two possibilities when the future generations saw this kind of coffin. One was that the Whistle Coffin had already been emptied at that time, so it was an empty shell with no value. The first possibility is that something happened to the Whistle Coffin at that time. Someone broke his arm and left, but the things in the coffin are still there. Therefore, this Whistle Coffin that we found might be in this situation.”
After listening to Qi Tiezui's explanation, Wang Ziyu finally understood what the whistle coffin was. However, there was still one thing that he did not quite understand. Wasn't probing the hole with two fingers supposed to be Heavenly Official Fa Qiu's unique skill?! Why did Qi Tiezui say that only the Zhang family could open the whistle coffin? Moreover, he knew it too!
Wang Ziyu told Qi Tiezui his doubts, and Qi Tiezui replied,"That's because Zhang Yancheng was one of the few descendants of Heavenly Official Qiu. Later on, he passed the two-finger cave exploration to the Zhang family.”
After listening to Qi Tiezui's explanation, Wang Ziyu finally understood why Zhang Qishan, the adjutant, and Zhang Qi Ling knew how to use two fingers to explore the cave.
At this time, the pipa scissors and copper gong on the whistle coffin were already prepared. They were just waiting to open the coffin in a while.
