"What do you mean......" Glasses looked at me quizzically.

"Maybe the owner of this tomb likes to collect bloodstones as much as the old lady of the Empress Dowager Cixi, so he used them for burial, but he didn't expect that these bloodstones were all blooded and turned into a pile of worthless rotten stones. I guess that red water is the 'blood' in bloodstone! "I say for sure.

The altar shook his head again and again: "If you say so, where does the water in the stone coffin come from, has there been a flood in this mountain?" But there is no sign of this on the earth! ”

The glasses pondered for a while: "What the poor ghost said makes sense, but I have some different opinions. ”

"You say!" The altar and I are ready to "listen to you".

"My thoughts are the same as those of the poor ghost, the color of this red water should be from the bloodstone in the stone coffin. Because the blood-red color in bloodstone comes from the mercury sulfide it is rich in, and this chemical is highly toxic and requires only very small amounts to kill people......"

Hearing this, Tanzi and I couldn't help but be glad that we didn't have the recklessness to touch the red water.

"But I think the owner of the tomb left so much bloodstone in the coffin not for burial, but for embalming. Because mercury sulfide is not only highly toxic, but also a preservative. Just ......"

"Just what?" I asked.

"It's just that mercury sulfide is extremely insoluble in water and acid, it is only soluble in aqua regia, but the red water just now is obviously not aqua regia, because the stones in the coffin are intact, and there is no trace of corrosion at all."

I said, "Then this water must be a very mysterious liquid from ancient times, so mysterious that even the current chemistry has not been discovered." ”

"It's true," the glasses said, "that there are many strange things in ancient times that cannot be explained by science until now. ”

The altar complained on the side: "What kind of prince and minister of Liao State do you say!" As a result, the bottom of the poor is down, if it weren't for the protection of cultural relics and monuments, I would definitely dig up the tomb and whip the corpse of this Khitan goods! The altar said hatefully.

I glanced at the jar and said, "How big is this?" As for it? ”

"How not? If you don't leave me a way to make money, I won't leave him a way back...... Hey, you say, if this is an emperor's mausoleum, is it all golden and splendid? I'm afraid even the walls are gilded! Jarzi asked.

"How is that possible?" The glasses said, "The emperor's mausoleum is just a larger scale and more burials, what wall is gilded, it's all yours, right?" ”

"Tell me, there have been so many emperors in our country since ancient times, not to mention Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, let's just explain it, let alone twenty or thirty, if our country digs their graves, then there are not many good things to be dug up!" The jar's eyes lit up and said.

"You're thinking beautifully!" I said, "But I heard that the state has a rule that does not allow the excavation of imperial tombs, right?" ”

"That's right!" "We only carry out rescue excavations for the emperors' tombs that have been seriously damaged by tomb robbers, and it is an unwritten rule in the archaeological community not to actively excavate the emperors' tombs." ”

"Why is that?" Jar asked.

"Because of Ming Dingling!" Glasses said, "Ming Dingling Mausoleum is the first emperor mausoleum planned to be excavated by our national archaeological community, but for some reason, the development has caused irreparable damage and loss to Dingling." The damage to a large number of cultural relics, the mildew of silk fabrics, the burning of the bones of emperors and empresses, the discarding of coffins......" said the glasses in pain, as if these things had dug out the flesh of his heart.

The altar sighed on the side: "These people are really stupid, what are the emperor's coffins thrown away, how can they be sold for a lot of money when they are picked up and taken home!" ”

"You know the money, the money, the money, the money, do you know what happened to the people who picked up the coffins home?" I asked the jar.

"What happened?" Tanzi asked curiously.

"I heard that a coffin was picked up by an elderly couple who wanted to take two simmers. As a result, after the first coffin was built, the old woman died, and when the second coffin was completed, the old man also returned to heaven, and the old couple died only half a month apart...... Isn't it evil? I said with a strange look.

"That'...... Maybe it's just a coincidence! "The altar was a little unconvinced.

I said, "Okay, then I'll tell you another one." It is said that at that time, a total of three coffins were thrown out of the tomb, one of which was picked up by a farmer and made into two lying cabinets. Someone once said to the peasant, 'That's what the emperor used, how can ordinary people afford this blessing?' Be careful not to lose your life! But the man took it as jealousy and did not take it seriously. However, one night when he and his daughter-in-law came home, they could not find their four children, they searched both inside and outside the courtyard, and finally saw a little corner of the child's clothes between the two lying cabinets, so they hurriedly opened the cabinet...... But when they opened it, three boys and a girl were stacked on top of each other, their faces covered with black blue, and they had already died of anger. The four children had blood oozing from the base of their fingers, their nails split, and the walls of the cabinet were covered with scratch marks...... Are you saying this is also a coincidence? ”

"Uh......" The jar hesitated.

A few years later, the couple had four more children, three girls and one boy. But the boy mysteriously died on the deck shortly after graduating from high school......"

The altar swallowed and foamed at the mouth and said, "It's really an evil sect...... as he said that, he picked up the shovel in his hand and knocked the red coffin in the stone coffin, making a sound of "dangdang". "What a hard wood!" Tanzi said with emotion, and he then added: "It's like iron." ”

I looked at the wooden coffin with my glasses, and saw two wolf eagles standing at the bottom, middle, and tail of the coffin to support the wooden coffin. And there is also a wolf eagle at the head and tail above the coffin, which is also in the shape of howling in the sky.

The glasses explain to us that this coffin is called "Eight Wolf Wailing", which is a form of coffin used by Khitan nobles. He also told us that according to the ancient Khitan customs, people are buried after death without coffins, and the corpses are placed directly on the corpse bed. However, due to the gradual penetration of Han culture, coffins will appear in tombs.

Finally, with the acquiescence of the glasses, Tanzi and I started the last process of this "tomb robbery" - opening the coffin. A total of seven coffin nails were found when the entire coffin was opened. The seven coffin nails are arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, and each nail is engraved with a charm-like pattern.

Seeing these seven coffin nails, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, isn't this the Tiangang Beidou method of fixing the corpse mentioned in my grandfather's book? I remember that this Tiangang Beidou corpse fixing method is to nail seven coffins that have been buried for 7749 days and wrap them in corpse talismans, and then nail them into the corpse to suppress the corpse so that it cannot be reborn and cause chaos. But why is the method of fixing the corpse here nailed to the coffin?
