"This wood isn't even bad...... " Chi Ling gently stroked the Nanmu coffin and said, if it wasn't for the dust that got some dust on it when breaking the stones just now, it probably looks like it has just been made.

"The wooden structure of Nanmu is relatively fine, and it is also smeared with a layer of salt wine for antiseptic, which will naturally not rot so easily under the protection of air isolation," Li Zimu said lightly, the carved patterns on this Nanmu feel very three-dimensional, just like the real thing.

As early as ancient times, our ancestors have mastered the first techniques of embalming, such as putting smoked meat in a dry environment or hiding the meat in ice cubes to freeze, which can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria and cause meat to rot.

Of course, they just do, and they don't know the reason. The composition of smoke is very complex, there are more than 200 kinds of components, mainly some acids, aldehydes and phenolic substances, which have the effect of antibacterial and antiseptic and prevent oxidation of meat. Freezing is due to the fact that bacteria cannot survive at low temperatures.

After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they began to know that salt and wine could be used for embalming, and when Yingzheng died on the way, Zhao Gao and his uncle Li Si used salted fish to prevent his body from decomposing too quickly.

"Come, Jingyang" Li Zimu nodded at him and said, the latter understood what he meant, walked straight to the other side of the coffin, and carried the other corner of the coffin with both hands, and Li Zimu also carried him flat to the corner, and the two slowly lifted the coffin lid up.

A slender voice came ...... "squeak", just like the sound of the wood rubbing against the cracks of the wood in the open wardrobe at home, which was particularly strange in this quiet tomb, and the coffin lid was slowly lifted up by two people.

"Be careful!" Just as the lid was just halfway open, Li Zimu shouted violently at the Qi Ling, who was standing in front of the coffin at this time, facing it, and did not notice anything wrong at all, Li Zimu's shout startled her and froze in place, not knowing what was happening.

The main reason why the tomb was too dark, she didn't see the row of short blades flying out of the coffin at all, and the reason why Li Zimu knew was because he heard the small sound from the mechanism inside.

Just when that row of short blades was only about ten centimeters away from the Spirit, the latter finally reacted, and was shocked and hurriedly wanted to squat down to dodge, but the speed of the short blades was too fast, and it was difficult to dodge with her big star skills.

Just when she was already desperate, she suddenly felt a sharp tug on her left shoulder, and her body involuntarily fell quickly to the left, dodging the row of short blades that were close at hand, and crashing into a soft thing.

"Don't you want to die?" Li Zimu glanced at the Chi Ling in his arms and said lightly, this Nizi really has no vigilance at all, the reason why he wants Zhang Jingyang to carry it together is that he doesn't want any accidents, why do you need two people to lift the coffin lid for an ordinary person.

"Ahh......h

"Have you been lying down enough?" Li Zimu said expressionlessly, this Nizi was probably frightened, lying in his arms and refusing to get up.

"Oh oh......" Chi Ling reacted that he was still in Li Zimu's arms, his face was red, but fortunately he couldn't see anything in this dim environment, and quickly stood up straight and got up from Li Zimu's arms.

After more than 2,000 years, this mechanism is still not damaged, and the power does not seem to have disappeared, it can be seen from the speed of this row of short blades to fire, how to say that this main tomb is also three meters high, and it can be ejected directly to the top, which shows how powerful it is.

"Why is there still a skeleton here, haven't they all been buried?"

I saw that there was a pair of bones lying on the scarlet coffin, but looking at the location of these bones, this was not a dismemberment, but a complete body, with a layer of cloth on the outside.

"Those are the people who are used for the burial, and this is the person who is used to accompany the burial, the identities of the two are different, the prisoners of war over there, and the owner of this skeleton should be a dragon and a very close person before his death, it is likely to be his concubine, you see this dress is a woman's clothing" Li Zimu said lightly.

During the Warring States period, the phenomenon of accompanying burials was not uncommon, and the burial companions were generally concubines that the tomb owner liked during his lifetime. These people are generally young women, and from the moment they are chosen, they are destined for a short and poignant life.

"Why is our woman's life so miserable?" said with a sneer, although she didn't know much about history, she also knew that women in ancient times had no status to be dominated by others, but she was still a little angry when she saw it with her own eyes.

Li Zimu didn't answer, because he didn't know what to say, he couldn't stop this, the social background at that time was like this, women were just a kind of vassal of men, and even the buffalo in the field was more noble than them.

The vermilion coffin was also suspended in the Nanmu coffin by the wooden block, because it looked smooth and translucent because of the paint on it, and the flashlight would reflect some light in the past, illuminating the originally dark tomb a little.

Seven nails were nailed on the coffin, which was a custom handed down during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the folk called it "town nails". Seven nails, commonly known as "descendant nails", are said to make future generations prosperous. When nailing the coffin, the filial son can not get close, but can only wait outside the door to listen, commonly known as "dodging nails".

"Open it" Li Zimu said to Zhang Jingyang after prying out the seven iron nails, this is already the last layer of coffin, and if you open it again, you can know if there is something you want inside, thinking of this, Li Zimu not only began to look forward to it.

"This ...... Why don't you have a head? and it's not rotting!" The spirit said in shock as he looked at the scene in the coffin, the corpse lying inside was wearing a dress that looked very rich, and his bare hands were not rotting into bones!

Although it is said that it is not rotten, it is not still the same as when he first died, but it has dried up, and the moisture in the flesh has long been gone, and all that remains is a layer of skin, this is the real sense of skin and bones, right?

On the other side, Li Zimu's attention was not on this headless corpse, his attention was completely focused on the chest of the corpse, and he saw a sword lying flat on it, and he had already seen the two Chu seals on the sword: chasing stars!
