Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Lights Shine Forever (3)

After lighting a few candles, the tomb was brightly lit. Yin Shenglin said: "Jia Zeng's tomb is under the sacred tree, protected by the roots of the sacred tree, and this is not the main burial chamber at first glance."

"This should be a burial chamber used to confuse us," Lee said.

"Then why come in?" Wang Fugui was puzzled.

"Jia Zeng is an expert in anti-tomb robbery, what we can think of, he will definitely be able to think of, what we can't think of, he can still think of it, to deal with this kind of person, just one way, the opposite. No matter how dangerous it comes, go where it is wrong, so that it can be crooked. In this kind of place, everything looks normal and goes, which is the most abnormal. ”

"That's right." Yin Shenglin said: "But I still have a problem. We have walked for so long, and we have been on the mountain for a long time, but we have not been able to see the sacred tree. ”

Wang Fugui said: "Your Majesty, since Jia Zeng hastened to make the location of his tomb public, it means that people have already made all preparations. If the sacred tree is exposed, wouldn't it be easy to find his tomb? ”

"That's right. If the tomb robber finds the main burial chamber, he can save a lot of cumbersome mechanisms, but if there are also mechanisms in the main burial chamber, it is still unavoidable. Yin Shenglin said: "He doesn't let people easily find the main tomb, one is to prevent theft, and the other is afraid of retaliation, right?" For example, if we find it, we might blow him up. ”

"The people who fight against tomb robbers don't believe in ghosts and gods, they don't care." Li Runrin said.

Wang Fugui knocked on the coffin, "There must be a treasure in this." ”

"We're not here to rob the grave this time." Li Runlin said: "Besides, Jia Zeng is sinister and cunning, who knows what mechanism he will design?" Since we're here this time, let's not open a single mechanism. ”

Wang Fugui disagreed: "How powerful can he be?" What tombs have you not robbed yet, are you still afraid of these? Take this coffin, for example, I can kick it open with one kick! ”

Before Wang Fugui's words fell, the lid of the coffin suddenly moved. Frightened, he quickly took a few steps back. The heart said, "Have I sinned against the gods?"

Li Runrin also sensed that something was wrong, and gestured at Wang Fugui to ask him and Yin Shenglin to step back. Yin Shenglin asked, "What's going on?"

This is the lid of the coffin that moves again. Wang Fugui hurriedly pulled Yin Shenglin back: "Your Majesty, this ...... This is to deceive the corpse! ”

Li Yunrin beckoned everyone to step back and protect the emperor, and he still stood calmly in place. Then, Li Runlin covered his nose with his hands, leaned forward, put his ear on the coffin, and after a few seconds, he also took a few steps back again and again, and said to Yin Shenglin: "Corpse poison."

Corpse poison is the toxic liquid and gas produced by the corpse being stored in the coffin for a long time and reacting with the highly toxic liquid in the corpse or in the coffin. People who are infected with corpse poison will not only have ulcerated skin and lose sensation, but in severe cases, their muscles will stiffen and become a living corpse. It is said that this kind of thing can only be removed with glutinous rice, cinnabar and other items, and ordinary medicines are useless to it at all. Tomb robbers bring a lot of protective gear when entering the tomb to prevent infection with corpse poison. So does corpse poison really exist? When Dou Taizu was in power, there was a group of tomb robbers in Changling, headed by the surname Zhu, this person had a nickname called "Zhu Lacquer Face", why did he have this nickname?

It turned out that he encountered a strange thing when he was digging a mausoleum in the south of Weicheng: after he pried open the coffin, he found that the body was not decomposed, and he wanted to take off the jade belt tied on the corpse, but the corpse was too heavy to take it hard, so he came up with a way, the rope was tied under the corpse's shoulders at one end, and the other end was put on his body. Unexpectedly, the corpse sprayed a stream of black slime on his face at this time, which could not be washed off and became a "vermilion face". This is a special kind of legend about corpse poison in history books. So what's going on? It is said that in order to prevent embalming, the ancients often took highly toxic drugs before death, which helped to preserve the corpse. This highly toxic drug corrodes the entire internal organs in the human body, turning it into a liquid and remaining in the body. When a tomb robber moves the body, the body is squeezed, and the liquid will spray out of the mouth, which will burn the skin, forming the so-called "vermilion face".

Li Runrin said: "There is poisonous gas in this coffin, and the changes in the airway caused by our burglary hole have affected this coffin, and if the pressure of the gas inside and outside the coffin is unbalanced, the toxic gas inside may lift the coffin lid and spread out."

"Isn't that dangerous?" Ji Tong said: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time."

"General Li, is there a way to crack this mechanism?"

"Ji Zhutou is right, this place is not suitable for a long time. We have to get out of here before the gas spreads out. Li Runlin said: "But where to go, Your Majesty will decide."

"It's nothing more than a choice between advance and retreat." Yin Shenglin said: "I feel that since I have come, I must not just go out, of course I have to go into the tomb."

"Your Majesty." Wang Fugui said: "If Your Majesty enters the tomb in advance, the escape of gas from this tomb will seal the back road, that is, we will not be able to return the same way."

Yin Shenglin said: "Wang Fugui, are you stupid? What is this tomb robbery about, the front door is not allowed to go, we can still go through the back door, who stipulates that we have to go back the same way? ”

"Your Majesty." Li Runlin said: "What General Wang said is not unreasonable, if we really can't find the so-called back door...... That ......"

"People still have seven orifices, how can the tomb be just one door? Like Wang Fugui, who likes to go through the back door when he has nothing to do, and is often walked through the back door, he will definitely be able to find it. ”

Wang Fugui thought to himself: Why am I lying down again?

"How many people did we bring with us?"

"Hundreds of people are waiting up there, and the number of people coming down is less than thirty." Li Runlin said: "There should not be too many people, after all, tomb robbery is not a war, and mobilizing the army will inevitably increase the possibility of triggering the mechanism, besides, the tomb is narrow and dim, and it is difficult to dispatch if there are too many people."

"Then let's go, just us, and head to the tomb." As soon as Yin Shenglin's words fell, there was a sudden shaking behind him, and the robbery hole that entered the tomb actually collapsed.

"Protect the Emperor!"

"No need to make a fuss." Yin Shenglin said to Li Runlin: "General Li, you go and check the coffin."

The shaking of the coffin lid became more violent, and Li Runlin tried to put his hand on it, and the tomb robber had the kung fu of looking, hearing, and inquiring, and he only needed to feel it to know what was going on in the coffin. "No, let's go!"
