Chapter 1058: Exploring the Bottom of the Sea [4]
The material types of Maoshan spell runes include gold, silver, purple, blue, and yellow, with the golden rune being the most powerful, and at the same time requiring the caster's Taoism to be the highest, and the power consumed is also the largest.
Silver is second, purple, blue is second, the lowest power is yellow, this is also the most common talisman, most Taoist priests due to the general understanding, can only stay in the use of yellow talismans throughout their lives.
If you forcibly cast a high-level talisman, in most cases it cannot be cast due to insufficient mana, and if it is successfully cast by chance, it will also be frantically counterattacked by the mana of the talismana.
Of course, if the Taoist priest is rich, he can also buy expensive gems at a high price to increase his mana, but most of the Taoist priests spend their lives because they are obsessed with Taoism, they are poor and have four walls, and the money they come to buy expensive gems and high-grade rune paper can only use some yellow runes.
And the bronze mirror of the corpse quietly placed in front of Liu Yuhao, although it has been eroded by the seawater, it is almost impossible to see the original appearance, but the golden seal characters on it are still faintly visible.
However, why did the Maoshan Taoist priest who set up this attack bureau come here with tools such as touching golden talismans?
Liu Yuhao frowned and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
It's really weird that something like this happens!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Liu Yuhao would definitely not believe that someone had ever staged such a good show in the depths of the seabed, it felt so illusory and not real at all.
Raising his head, Liu Yuhao continued to see through the hanging stone coffin.
The ability quickly pierced through the stone coffin, which was more than three inches long, and the picture in front of him gradually became clearer.
But when Liu Yuhao saw the situation in the sarcophagus clearly, his face suddenly changed after being cleared, his nose quickly fanned a few times, and a trace of horror suddenly flashed in his blazing eyes.
"Damn, this is outrageous!"
Liu Yuhao himself didn't expect that he couldn't help but let out a surprised exclamation.
Just above Liu Yuhao's head, there were more than ten corpses stored in the stone coffin, and what was even more amazing was that the more than ten corpses were sleeping with each other, and Liu Yuhao also found that none of those corpses were rotten, sitting or lying, their faces were as usual, and they were not aliens.
"Is the reason for this phenomenon embalming or the Maoshan Dao method under the coffin?"
In addition to being surprised, Liu Yuhao secretly guessed in his heart.
If ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, their first reaction must be to flee to a safe place first, and then analyze what they see, but Liu Yuhao didn't do that, not only did he not turn around and flee, but his curiosity became even more intense, and he couldn't help but walk forward, trying to see everything in the coffin clearly.
The reason why Liu Yuhao did this is probably due to his personality, now he turns around and runs, he must be unwilling, he is itching in his heart, if he doesn't check this strange seabed, it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep well for ten days or eight days.
Carefully re-examining the more than ten corpses in the stone coffin, Liu Yuhao kept everyone's expressions and body movements firmly in mind, and then selectively penetrated the ability into one of the corpses.
Humans have a special affinity for their own corpses.
In the past, not only the ancient Chinese people valued the corpse as the place where the soul returned, but other foreign nationalities were also like this, believing that the corpse was not rotten was the premise and foundation of the resurrection, so they tried their best to prevent embalming.
However, unlike the traditional Chinese method of wet corpse disposal, foreign corpse embalming technology uses more modern drying technology, and treats it as a "dried corpse", which is by no means stored on the seabed like in a coffin.
Liu Yuhao used his ability to see through the inside of the corpses just to see what happened, but he really wanted to know how those corpses were stored on the bottom of the sea without rotting the real reason.
According to the book, the methods of preserving corpses are nothing more than the method of removing internal organs, pickling, drying, barbecue, etc., and ancient Egyptian mummies are typical of the method of removing internal organs, which is recognized as a near-perfect technique for preserving corpses.
But when the ability penetrated into the corpse, Liu Yuhao was both puzzled and shocked.
The target chosen by Liu Yuhao could not have been predetermined in advance, Liu Yuhao found that standing in his current position, he could even clearly see the existence of capillaries in the corpse, and those blood vessels seemed to be a little elastic.
"How is this possible?"
Liu Yuhao opened his mouth slightly, and a thick complex color flashed in his eyes.
Looking at the past carefully, something happened that made Liu Yuhao even more surprised, the blood in the blood vessels of the corpse did not coagulate, although it was not flowing, but under the perspective of the ability, the cells in the blood still existed in it.
"Hell yes!"
The first thought that popped into Liu Yuhao's mind was the creepy phenomenon of "living ghosts".
What does it mean to "live to see hell"?
Modern dictionaries explain that metaphorically things are bizarre and incomprehensible. In the history of tomb robbery in China, there are many such phenomena of "living ghosts", which are still spread to this day.
This phenomenon may be unfamiliar to ordinary people, but for a college student who may engage in archaeological work in the future, the teachers have already talked about it in their ears countless times, and they almost heard the cocoon.
The first recommended "live ghost" is that after the Changling Tomb of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was excavated by the Red Mei Army, the queen Lu Pheasant in the different caves of the same tomb was as beautiful as life, and was raped by the soldiers.
Some people suspect that this matter is unreasonable, and the corpse is still "lifelike" after 200 years, which is incomprehensible; The rape of corpses is even stranger.
Lu Pheasant was Liu Bang's original wife before his career, and died in 180 BC, 15 years later than Liu Bang, while the Red Eyebrow Army was in Juxian County in the 5th year of Wang Mang's reign Tianfeng.
The year when the Red Eyebrow Army killed Liu Xuan, the late emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, was 25 A.D., and it is estimated that the span of 205 years by the time of the excavation of the tomb was as long as 205 years, and the corpse did not decompose for such a long time?
Besides, Lu Pheasant was born in 241 BC, and she was 61 years old when she died, so she should have been an old woman with a wrinkled face. According to history, when Lu Pheasant was thirty or forty years old, he could no longer attract Liu Bang, and Mrs. Qi was favored.
She was no longer attractive in life, she was an ugly woman, how can she be charming after death?
Nonsense. If there are soldiers who are interested in such an old woman's corpse, it is really "living hell"!
But when he was in school, Mr. Qi once told Liu Yuhao about the strange "living ghosts" that he had personally experienced, and that incident must naturally be the truth.
When the old man Qi had personally participated in the excavation of the Mawangdui Han Tomb and excavated the cemetery, the old man Qi and his people were surprised to find that when the hostess Xin was unearthed in the same period as Lu Pheasant, the whole body was still moisturized and fresh, the skin was completely covered, the hair was still there, the fingers and toes were clear, and the muscles were still elastic, as if they had just been buried.
But even then, Xin Chai was just a corpse, not as shocking as Liu Yuhao saw now, and there was still blood in the veins of the corpse that had not coagulated.
It's incredible!
Liu Yuhao frowned slightly, and carefully observed the inside of the coffin again, to see if there was anything he had missed just now, but he searched all the corners, but in the end he found nothing.
You must know that there was a very mysterious red liquid in the coffin when the female corpse of Mawangdui Xin Chai, and later the laboratory test was the embalming agent for the corpse back then, which is just like modern people use formalin to preserve the corpse, so Xin Chai's corpse will be preserved for 2,000 years.
But where in this deep sea can the preservatives be preserved for a long time?
Liu Yuhao feels that he is now a head two big.
Let's continue to inquire about the reason, it seems a bit time-consuming, and it doesn't make much sense; But just put aside the strange shape in the coffin and then went to explore the huge ship-shaped castle behind the coffin, he was afraid that he would accidentally destroy the formation set up by the Taoist priest of Maoshan and cause a corpse mutiny.
The situation changed suddenly, but it was really like chewing chicken ribs, which made Liu Yuhao a little uncertain.
"Damn, damn the eggs up!"
Suddenly, Liu Yuhao took out the mantra of Junzi to comfort himself again, and continued to walk in the direction of the giant ship-shaped castle.
The changes in the underwater world are something that no one can fathom or guess.
This sea area is so close to the island that Sister Lumei bought, and, in a few months, the beloved woman will give birth to a second child for herself.
Not only did he have to figure out the situation in the castle and why there were incorruptible corpses in the stone coffins today, but I am afraid that he would definitely not give up.
Liu Yuhao doesn't want to leave the potential danger to his beloved woman and child.
The stone coffin seemed to be less than 500 meters away from the ancient castle, but it took Liu Yuhao more than half an hour to complete this road.
Every time he took a step, Liu Yuhao would stop for a few minutes to deduce the formation changes under his feet, and on the premise of not touching the "death door", he also had to figure out the position of the formation, so that he could evacuate as soon as possible when something unexpected happened.
Of course, it's best never to have that happen.
"Let's go"
A crisp sound reached Liu Yuhao's ears.
Liu Yuhao was stunned on the spot, his heart suddenly rose to his throat as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, and after being stunned for a long time, he cautiously lowered his head and looked down.
"Damn!"
Liu Yuhao spit out a long mouthful of turbid air as if relieved, and couldn't help frowning and scolding in his heart.
It turned out that the sound was no less than the thunder in his ears, but it was made by a shell that he had trampled on.
A false alarm!
