Chapter 20 Nuts

I don't know why, but I was suddenly interested in the coffin, and I couldn't help but walk towards the sarcophagus.

When you get closer, you can see that the walls of this sarcophagus are carved with exquisite relief paintings, as if telling the life of the tomb owner.

The first relief depicts a group of primitive people dressed in leaves, armed with knives, guns and sticks, fighting many insects under a wood, and there are many, many corpses lying on the ground, and a woman standing behind the soldiers crying.

The second relief depicts a group of people standing in a number of stone jars, carrying round things one by one, with many insects helpless around, while still a woman standing behind a soldier and dancing.

The third relief shows a lot of women weaving, and the woman figure is holding a red cloth in the front and gesturing something.

The fourth relief depicts a group of clothed people kneeling in front of a gracefully dressed woman.

Holy shit, no wonder it's so familiar, isn't the woman in this relief painting the female statue?

I looked at these four relief paintings, combined with the scenes I experienced when I entered the cave, and suddenly fell into deep thought: a woman found silkworm chrysalis, but these silkworms have strong attack power, through a battle, many people who died still can't get these silkworm chrysalis, and then the sad heroine made a lot of stone pots, let people carry silkworm chrysalis in the stone jars, obviously this method was successful, and finally she made these cicada chrysalis into pieces of red cloth, and these primitive people finally put on clothes.

The story told in this relief painting is so familiar, but I just can't connect with my memory.

"Nuts?" I don't know when Liang Zi came over, he stared at the relief painting and said these two words.

Wake up the dreamer with a word! I patted Liang Zi on the shoulder excitedly, and I couldn't speak for a while. yes, isn't this a nut? It was the nut that discovered the cicada chrysalis and invented the weaving technique, no wonder I can't tell which dynasty the stone statue is from the wear, this is the wear of ancient times. Isn't the red cloth in the old man's coffin the red cloth made of nuts?

Liang Zi, who was startled by me, squinted and looked at me with disdain, as if he was looking at an idiot.

I ignored him, and walked excitedly towards the sarcophagus with the wrong opening with my flashlight. In fact, I knew in my heart that this tomb had been stolen, and the mechanism of the tomb had basically been destroyed, which was why I had such a bold idea to see what the nut's corpse looked like.

Liang Zi seemed to see my thoughts, grabbed me, and said with a serious face: "Light the lamp before touching the coffin", and then Liang Zi skillfully took out a compass and lit a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb.

In fact, lighting a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb is not a feudal superstition, but a very effective way of self-defense.

Because from the perspective of gossip, the southeast corner of the tomb is the gateway for people and ghosts to enter and exit, and it will not be sealed under normal circumstances, and this direction is the place with the most oxygen in the entire tomb, if the candles here are extinguished, it means that the entire tomb will be more lacking in oxygen, or if the candlelight turns green, it means that the poisonous gas has begun to permeate the entire tomb, indicating that the dangerous situation has appeared, and it is necessary to evacuate quickly.

Therefore, these things have just been mythologized by later generations, and have evolved into something like a ghost blowing a lamp or a dumpling raising a corpse.

After the candles were set up, the two of us walked together towards the sarcophagus with the wrong opening. As soon as I got close to the sarcophagus, I heard a "bang" sound from inside the sarcophagus, at first I thought I had heard it wrong, but when I turned my head and saw Liang Zi's pale face, I suddenly understood, there was indeed a sound!

"Bang dong" again, my heart seemed to jump out with the sound, frightened I involuntarily looked back at the candle, fortunately there was nothing unusual, but the sound in the sarcophagus clearly existed.

Liang Zi was beside me, and said with a slight trembling: "Zhao An, I suddenly ...... Feel...... It's a little crooked by you, when we came in, the Yongdao plug stone was intact, indicating that no one had come, but the sarcophagus lid here is staggered, could it be anything...... Came out? ”

I knew that Liang Zi had deliberately obscured those words in order to alleviate my fear, but after hearing these words, I trembled even more. I thought about it before, but I was so scared that I forced myself not to think about it.

In fact, I know that there are many kinds of corpses, except for the theory of demons and monsters, which means that the muscles and nerves of the corpse will contract under some stimulation from the outside world, and it looks as if the person is alive again, but in fact, the consciousness is completely gone, and it is a simple mechanical movement.

The ancients took advantage of this, and on the premise of embalming the corpse, they set up conditions that can defraud the corpse at any time through some ingenious mechanisms, commonly known as zongzi, to protect the tomb.

Suddenly, my Mu Ne's mind came back to his senses, this place was obviously told by Uncle Biao Zi to Liang Zi, Biao Zi had been here and touched a red cloth, but the original plug stone showed that no one had been here at all, and the Yongdao under the stone slab seemed to Liang Zi did not know.

So what is Uncle Biao lying about? Or did Liang Zi lie? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, and then turned my head to look at Liang Zi, but I knew that this was not the time to think about this in front of me, so I didn't think about it anymore.

At this time, Liang Zi was bent on his waist, his body was in a state of vigilance, and he slowly approached the sarcophagus, and then bowed towards me.

What does that mean?

I looked at Liang Zi in confusion.
