Immortal Mystery Chapter 72 A coffin and two corpses
At present, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang have excavated a total of three figurine pits, which are neatly arranged with three phalanxes, complete in arms and equipment, but there is no commander in command. Judging from the overall layout, the No. 3 pit is like the command center of the entire Terracotta Army, but there is no main general here. Therefore, people have been speculating whether all the terracotta warriors and horses are waiting, waiting for Qin Shi Huang to come alive again from the realm of death, leading them to fight everywhere.
"Professor, you mean these terracotta warriors are also waiting for their generals?" I asked.
Professor Jin said with great certainty: "Yes! You see these terracotta warriors holding their bows, their expressions are solemn, and their faces are full of murderous energy, which clearly looks like they are going to the battlefield. However, the command vehicles were now empty, so they were clearly waiting for the person in command of them to appear. ”
"It does make sense!" Liang Youcai said, "But where is their commander?" ”
"I guess it's here!" Cao Fenghua's voice came from not far behind the chariot.
"How come there are three coffins here?" We rushed to Cao Fenghua and found three coffins in the hall behind the chariot.
The three coffins are arranged in a triangular shape, two of them are wooden, and the remaining one is a bronze coffin, which is placed in the innermost part.
"Don't think about it, the general must be lying in that bronze coffin." Liang Youcai said.
The altar asked, "And what is inside the other two wooden coffins?" ”
Liang Youcai rolled his eyes and said, "Where do I know, maybe it's a funeral item, or maybe it's the general's daughter-in-law and children." ”
"Wouldn't it all be clear when you opened it? What else are you guessing here? After Mo Ji finished speaking, he commanded his men to open the coffin.
The first to open were the two wooden coffins. As soon as the lid of the coffin was opened, we could see clearly what was going on inside the coffin. Inside were two dead wooden corpses with helmets on their heads and armor. Looking at the appearance of that armor, it doesn't look like a low-level carry, and it seems that the identities of these two deadwood should not be ordinary soldiers.
"Yo~ Why are there two corpses in armor?" The altar asked, "Didn't you say that the general was in that bronze coffin?" How did these two generals come out again? ”
Professor Jin looked at it slightly and said, "These two dried corpses should be people like deputy generals." ”
"Then why are they buried here with the general? Disease? Die? Or is it a burial? I asked.
"I'm afraid it's hard to judge!" Professor Jin said with a slight frown.
By this time, the lid of the coffin had been completely opened, and we found that there was more than just the body of the lieutenant in each coffin. Under the dead wood of the adjutant general, there was also a corpse that was tightly blocked.
"This ...... How can there be a coffin of two corpses? Mo Ji was very puzzled.
Professor Jin was also a little strange: "A coffin and two corpses? This is rarely the case...... Even if the husband and wife are buried together, it is the same tomb and two coffins......"
"That'...... Could it be that father and son are in the same coffin? Here is the son of this lieutenant general? Uncle Xu asked.
Professor Jin denied it again: "No! In ancient times, seniority was very important, how could people of different generations be buried in the same coffin? And even people of the same generation have not heard of a coffin after death. Then he said, "I have seen a mother and a child in the same coffin, but the child is only a baby...... Look at the corpses under the dried corpses, they are all adults......"
"Hey~ By the way, I once heard an old saying, called...... What's it called......" Tanzi pondered, "Oh, by the way, it's called 'one coffin with two corpses, and no tree for ten miles.'" Isn't there a coffin of two corpses here?' ”
"In that sentence, it mentioned 'one coffin with two corpses', but it also said 'I don't see a tree for ten miles'." I said to the jar.
"What do you mean?" Jar asked.
Jiang Jie explained to the altar: "It means that there are too many dead people, and the trees within ten miles are used to make coffins, so I have no choice but to use one coffin for two corpses." ”
"That's right!" Professor Jin said, "This situation usually only occurs in disaster years or wars......
"Isn't that still going to happen?" Jar said.
I turned to the coffin with my head on the altar and said, "Look at the one in front of the general lying in the bronze coffin, although the two lieutenants here are wooden coffins, but the wooden coffins have not decayed after two thousand years, which is enough to show that the wood is excellent." How could they not get a coffin with their identity? Are you going to spin your mushy brain? ”
The jar suddenly realized: "This fart is reasonable! ”
We discussed for a long time, but we didn't come up with a reason why there were two bodies in a coffin at the same time. At this time, Senior Liang, who had been beside him with a calm face, suddenly spoke: "Actually, a coffin of two corpses is not the focus of our attention!" ”
Liang Youcai immediately asked him: "Uncle, what do we have to pay attention to?" ”
Master Liang said: "These two dead trees are on the ......"
"Deadwood?" People don't quite understand the terminology of Cloud Gate.
"It's a dry corpse, a dry corpse!" The jar immediately helped to explain.
After the investigation, Master Liang continued: "There are two more corpses under the dead wood, so that the heads of these two dried corpses do not touch the coffin and the feet do not touch the ground, which is called a corpse pad. ”
"TV?" Tanzi joked, but seeing that everyone's expressions were serious, he swallowed the words back.
"Master Liang, what do you mean by a corpse?" Everyone asked.
Jiang Jie also asked: "Master Liang, there is a saying in Cantonese called 'padding the corpse', does the cushioning of the corpse mean to you?" ”
Liang Shiyou said: "The 'cushion of the corpse' in Cantonese is the same as what we usually say about pulling a cushion back when we die, which means that we will be unlucky and everyone will be unlucky together, and it has nothing to do with the corpse pad I said." However, there is really a technique called 'padding the corpse', which is to put a photo of a person's name and birth date under a corpse, so that the person will be doomed, and the more people who die sideways, the better the effect, because in this case, the dead person's anger will be heavier, and the influence will be greater. ”
"However, the corpse I am talking about is different from these." Master Liang said, "The mat corpse I am talking about is like the corpse in these two wooden coffins now, one up and down, stacked on top of each other, and the corpse on top can no longer touch anything other than the corpse below, this is called a pad corpse!" ”
"So what does this corpse do?" Lu Daxun asked.
"What's the use?" Master Liang smiled, but his smile was very cold, "This is an evil art. The person above must die before the person below, and the person below must be under the body of the person above until he dies of breath. That's where it works. ”
