In such a small burial chamber, he was almost next to the dried corpse in front of him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Ahem, ahem."

Pang Xiaodou cleared his throat and tried his best to keep a distance from the dried corpse, in such a narrow burial chamber, if something happened, he would not even have a place to hide, but he carefully observed it with the light from the torch.

The dried corpse sat on a circular futon against the wall in the shape of a lotus, dressed in a wide and ornate robe like a monk's robe, and wore a crown of hair inlaid with gems of different colors, and three long peacock tail feathers stuck in the crown, because the height of the burial chamber was not enough, these three tail hairs had been broken off when they reached the top of the burial chamber, and because of the age, they had lost their original luster......

Judging from the posture and dress, this dried corpse must not be an ordinary resident in front of it, but also a monk or a priest like a priest.

In addition, Pang Xiaodou also saw that although the whole body of this dried corpse had dried up, it was extremely well preserved, especially the muscles on the exposed face and hands, until now through the skin that had been tightly attached to the bones, the edges and corners of these muscles could still be seen.

Moreover, the skin of this dried corpse also showed a bluish-purple color...... This is a sign of poison in his body, but judging from his lotus-like calm sitting posture, it seems that he has not received any torture, on the contrary, he is very peaceful when he dies.

"Is this ......?"

Pang Xiaodou thought of something, and hurriedly lowered his head again to carefully examine the hand of the dried corpse.

Sure enough, under the light of the torch, Pang Xiaodou saw that an almost transparent silk thread was tied to the finger of the dried corpse, and this silk thread was also connecting into the rock wall behind him at this moment, and the outside was where the small copper bell he saw before was.

This silk thread is obviously connected to the little brass bell I saw earlier!

"This is a very ancient way of sitting for monks, and the predecessors called it 'stone zongzi'."

Pang Xiaodou finally confirmed his guess.

The scientific name of stone zongzi in modern archaeology is "mummification".

This is an extremely rare way of sitting in order to maintain the immortality of one's body, and the reason why it is rare is that the whole process is so painful that while one is still alive, one's body becomes like a dry corpse, and this kind of suffering is not something that everyone can bear.

The process is relatively simple to say, but it requires a lot of perseverance to do:

First of all, would-be monks who want to become "stone zongzi" have to maintain a special diet for three years – eating only nuts and seeds that have not been processed in any way.

This process can greatly reduce the fat inside the human body, but maintain some basic functions of the muscles and body.

Then, after three years of dietary control, they began to eat only some bark and roots, after all, the nuts and seeds still contained some oil, and the fat in the body was not completely reduced.

At the same time, they also drink the poisonous juice produced by the sumac tree, a process that lasts for another three years.

This way of eating makes them very prone to vomiting, resulting in a rapid loss of fluid in the body, while also killing some parasites and fungi in the body, making their bodies less perishable after death.

And in the final stage, in order to keep their bodies in the shape of a lotus flower, they already look like a mummy from the outside, they will enter such a small tomb, and the people outside will seal the whole tomb, leaving only a ventilation hole, and a small bell will be tied to their hands.

Every day, they would ring the bell to let people outside know that they were still alive.

If the bell is no longer ringing one day, it means that they are dead, and the people outside will seal the ventilator completely......

"'Stone zongzi' is generally full of piety and single-minded death, such zongzi have no resentment, but are full of eternal obsession, so as long as they are not rude to their corpses, there will generally be no accidents."

Pang Xiaodou knew in his heart, and tried his best to keep a distance from the dried corpse in front of him.

And knowing that the "stone zongzi" is known, he will definitely not want to pick up the clothes of the tomb owner, check whether there are treasures and jewels hidden in his mouth and anus, if there is such a thing, why should the tomb owner torture himself so much before his death?

Therefore, if there is any bright weapon in this pocket tomb, even if it is not placed on the surface, it must be placed outside.

Thinking like this, Pang Xiaodou was half-squatting in the tomb more than a meter high, and he could only roll his eyes bonelessly, and at most twist his neck slightly to search carefully.

Soon, he found that between the legs of this "stone zongzi", the loose robe actually held a small tent on top.

“……”

Pang Xiaodou definitely wouldn't think much about it, if the dried corpses still had this function, how many tomb robbers would have to die in humiliation......

No kidding, Pang Xiaodou can conclude that there is definitely something hidden under the robe, it is very likely to be a Ming weapon, maybe it may be a clue item of the Mystery Curse, after all, this is the main purpose of his trip, even more important than the Ming weapon!

"Gently...... Slowly......"

Pang Xiaodou moved extremely carefully to lift a corner of his robe, trying not to interfere with the "Qing Xiu" of this "stone zongzi".

Immediately after, he saw a golden halo.

It was a metal gadget shaped like a waist card from the ancient Celestial Empire, and it didn't look like any kind of equipment.

"What the hell is it?"

Pang Xiaodou was puzzled, but he had honestly and unceremoniously held this "waist card" in his hand, and then a series of items appeared in his sight:

[Guild Talent Order - Rich World]
