Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Cypress Yellow Intestine Question

"Immortality, then I can be hungry all the time and eat all the time."

Wogua pitifully pulled away the floating object in front of him, and Li Luant's hand stopped in mid-air: I threw away the steering wheel, and I didn't expect that Wogua was so fresh and refined for the purpose of immortality, and it was different from others!!

While doing things with nonsense, Wogua turned around inadvertently, not wanting to think about such a sad thing anymore, and when he saw the things floating in front of his eyes, he was startled, and the queen of his ass was ruthless, comparable to the recoil of AK47, and almost threw Li Green Ant into the swamp.

"Hell hell heyβ€”look, ghost fire, it's ghost fire!!"

Li Luant rubbed the protruding waist disc, the black glasses also stopped, and turned his head to look, but saw that on the swamp water behind him, countless blue-blue and pale green shadows suddenly appeared, and the shapes of these shadows were also different, some were like a burning flame, some were like a lantern, some were like a man's figure, and some were like tombstones.

Li Green Ant desperately broke open the huge hand of the nest melon, and said with difficulty, "You can see clearly, this is not a ghost fire, it is a phosphorus fire." ”

Phosphine and a small amount of phosphorus pentoxide, produced when phosphorus reacts with water or alkali, are colorless gases that can spontaneously combust. After the phosphine decomposed by the decomposition of human and animal corpses spontaneously combusted, it became a blue-green flame sometimes seen in the wild at night, and superstitious people thought that the ghost of the deceased was constantly lingering, so it was called "ghost fire." ”

"I don't read much, don't lie to me, phosphorus fire is a fire, where is the phosphorus fire in human form? Even if this is really phosphorus fire, if we become humanoid, it must be phosphorus fire that has become essence, and it will still kill us. ”

Finally broke the fingers of the nest melon, Li Luant rubbed his painful arm, "You take a closer look, those phosphorus fires that have changed into adults, are they bigger phosphorus fires overlapping, you look at him from different angles are different shapes, but they are all virtual and real, but they are your imagination!" ”

Wogua changed the angle suspiciously, looked from the side, and sure enough, he saw that the ghost fire that looked like a person just now is not like it now, and the tombstones just now, etc., are not from another angle, scratching his head, "What, in this environment, you say yes, hehe-"

Wogua laughed dryly, the phosphorus fire in the swamp wandered faintly on the swamp, and it didn't come out of this swamp, it was originally just a place with phosphorus fire, but this was soon the same as infection, the whole swamp was spread with phosphorus fire, Li Luant's face was shocked, and he dragged the stupid Wogua on his back and ran quickly.

"What's the hurry, didn't you say that this is a phosphorus fire and not a ghost fire? So why are you afraid of it? ”

"I'm not afraid of ghost fire, I'm afraid of phosphorus fire!"

Heyβ€”

Seeing that the nest melon was still not white, although the black glasses did not know what was going on, but in view of believing in Li Luant's judgment, he still left the swamp with him alone, and came to the shore completely, Li Green Ant looked at the increasing number of phosphorus fires, and was still very uneasy, at this time, the nest melon also understood what was going on, and also ran quickly.

When the three of them quickly broke away through the swamp, passed through an extremely short passage, and finally didn't see the glowing phosphorus fire just now, Li Luant breathed a sigh of relief, and both the melon and the black glasses looked at Li Luant, "Now Corporal Shell Lang, you have to give us a result, why did you run wild just now, didn't you say that they couldn't make any threat?" ”

"It is not a ghost fire of phosphorus, of course, a single can not create any threat, but a phosphorus fire, it will inevitably be accompanied by the increase of phosphine, phosphine is a colorless highly toxic substance, is a highly toxic gas that absorbs quite quickly, mainly inhaled by the respiratory tract poisoning, if the concentration in the air reaches 1390/m3, it can make people die quickly. After phosphine absorption, in addition to local irritation and corrosive effects on the respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract, it will soon pass through the blood to the liver, kidney, spleen, etc., and can spread throughout the body in one hour, which can affect metabolism in cellular enzymes and suffocate people. It's not worth making a fuss about a phosphorus fire just now, but that space is densely packed with phosphorus fire, isn't it a dead end to stay there? ”

Wogua took out a dry leech from his pocket and tentatively said, "If I die, can I use this to revive me?" Didn't you just say that this can cure menstrual irregularities? ”

Li Luant scolded with a smile, "If you are really phosphine poisoned, it is useless for the leech king to come, you have to take a large dose of laxatives, and it is estimated that it will have some effect if you wash your stomach a few times." ”

Bad luck. Wogua thought that the dried leeches that were secretly hidden could cure all kinds of diseases, but he didn't expect it to be so useless, so he threw it away.

Li Luant touched his chin, "Phosphorus fire is generally decomposed when the corpses of people and animals are decomposed, and the phosphorus fire that is generally seen will not form a gang, just now so many phosphorus fires are dense, indicating that the floating corpses we fished up are only a few, and under that swamp, there are at least thousands of corpses." ”

Wogua shuddered, "Thousands? ”

"If phosphorus fire wants to form, it has to go through a series of conditions in time and space and the environment, and it is not easy to die and people say that there is, that is to say, in order to have the greatest possibility of the appearance of a thing, it is necessary to create the most material foundation, so many corpses, not every one of them can appear exactly phosphorus fire, maybe thousands of corpses are just a conservative number, maybe there are more corpses buried under that swamp."

As soon as this statement came out, the black glasses and Wogua immediately frowned strongly: It's not that he doesn't believe Li Luant, every word he has said since the tomb of King Guangling has not been fabricated out of thin air, and it is different from Wogua, but about this reliable speculation, it is one thing for them to hear it, and it is another thing to accept it.

After all, it is a person who has experienced tens of thousands of rotting corpses, and it is really not a thing to be happy to experience thousands of floating corpses staring at you with swollen dead fish eyes.

It's just that these floating corpses are different from those rotting corpses, and they don't open their eyes and take the initiative to attack people.

Wogua wondered, "No, those rotting corpses have rotted into corpses like that, and those floating corpses are just a little swollen, we stayed in that swamp for so long just now, why didn't they have corpses?" ”

This question is a bit difficult to ask, Li Luant honestly shook his head and said that he didn't know, "After all, the environment for corpse transformation is harsher than the environment that produces phosphorus fire, and we won't really pour blood mold for eight lifetimes, and when we encounter corpses, we will be corpses, which is really too tragic." ”

With a few traces of rare brewing academic atmosphere, after a while to finish this extremely short path, the three of them came to a spacious and bright stone room, this stone room is different from other places, surrounded by red bricks and stones, I don't know what kind of thing is piled up, what is even more amazing is that there is a coffin in the center!

Wo Gua poked Li Luant's heart, "I've been to so many places, have you heard that there is a place where the burial is made of red pasted walls?" ”

Li Luant blinked, "Generally, the tomb bricks are cyan or black, and the blue-gray bricks of burning paper have one more process, which is when the brick and tile embryo is heated to a certain extent, it is not allowed to cool slowly, but a large amount of water is poured from the top of the brick kiln, and then the water and vaporized water vapor play a role in isolating the air, and in the state of lack of oxygen, the coal will be incompletely burned, and there are some small particles of coal that are not completely burned to infiltrate into the bricks and tiles and become blue-gray." ”

"Because the firing of green bricks has to go through water showering and multiple redox reactions, its internal structure is denser than any other color brick, and it can withstand strong pressure and is not easy to break, so when the people will burn bricks, most of the tombs of those princes and generals are blue bricks, and even black bricks are less, as for the red bricksβ€”β€”"

Li Luant nodded his head, and suddenly said, "There is a 'pet of the pepper room' in the "Hanshu Che Qianqiu Biography", the ancient emperor's cave room used the pepper room, because the pepper is red and hot, and there are many seeds in it, and it is also sterilized, so the pepper room has become the name of the ancient harem, this statement originates from the Western Han Dynasty, since the Western Han Dynasty is so long earlier than the Eastern Han Dynasty, then this-"

Before he finished speaking, Wogua and the black glasses entered the tomb earlier, and shook his head, "Let you tell me a reason, and it has become a harem fight, I don't need to ask him, it is estimated that other paints were used up at that time, so I can only use red paint, and there is no other reason." ”

…………

This tomb is the largest and most serious tomb seen from the slide of the water park, about more than 200 square meters, empty all around, only a coffin in front of you, lying quietly in the middle, nothing else. There were no funeral goods, no lanterns, not even an explanatory manual.

Wogua complained, Li Luant shook his head, "That's not an explanation manual, that's an epitaph, an epitaph, it's really a chicken and a duck, playing the piano to a cow, heyβ€”β€”"

Wogua knocked on the perimeter of the coffin nonchalantly, Li Green Ant circled around the wall, feeling that this place is not as good as Fangcai, it is very warm, I don't know why, the light of the flashlight can not be reflected here, when I look at those walls carefully, but the lines around the walls seem to be muddy and sand is obvious, it seems that the craftsman does not finish carefully when painting, ignoring the beautiful reasons.

Scratched his head: Are they so careless in the tombs of the princes? How do you feel that everything you have encountered since you came down the slide is full of weirdness?

Dark Glasses was also clearly more interested in the coffin, as it was the most quick thing to find clues here.

At the end of the wall, there is a round hole, wide and wide, so if there is really something wrong, you can also get out of here.

Finding a way out, Li Luant also joined the exploration team.

This coffin is a bit special, different from what I saw before, not to mention the huge description, the outer coffin siding is surrounded by 179 pieces of wood with a special fragrance, and the east side of the coffin is 3 layers, and each layer is paved with 15 on the east and west walls, a total of 45; There is a slight gap on the north and south sides, each base has 3 layers, and each layer has 18 vertical and horizontal roots in the north-south direction, a total of 54 roots; There are only 2 floors on the west side, and 13 are paved in the east-west direction of each floor, for a total of 26 roots. The height of the four sides is lower than the outer wall of the coffin.

The pattern carving on the wall panel is simple, the color is simple, the picture is elegant and subtle, and it is not mysterious. Most of them depict the filial piety of brothers, labor scenes, farming and cooking, etc., and there are a few traces of delicacy hidden in the elegance, and the true meaning can be known at a glance.

Wogua knocked on the coffin outside, and the sound he heard was heavy and dull, and he pinched it again, with a little squint on his face, and smacked his lips, "This coffin board is a little interesting." ”

The wooden fangs on the outer wall of the coffin are all tiled and stacked, the surface is polished smooth, the production is smooth, the color is tan, there is no mortise and tenon buckle, but the joints are tightly plugged by the powder of charcoal and gypsum mud.

"It's the cypress yellow intestine problem." Li Luant's eyes lit up.

Wogua saw that Li Luant just looked at it with a magnifying glass and saw the name again, but the name was unusual, "I can also see this wood, it really doesn't look like an ordinary coffin board, but I haven't heard of your name." ”

The body is like carbon black, the color is different, the water is black and bright, the oiled color is stationed, and the burnt ash is yellow, which is different from Pumu.

There are differences in weight, can sink and float, whether there is a fragrance or not, there are all exists, the tree species are different, and the smell can be without.

Thousands of years of carbonization into gloom, long-term underwater water sinking wood, are good timber and good trees, many years of spirituality. The rest of the coffin boards are all called Yin wood.

The coffin wood in front of you is fragrant and quiet, bright and colorful, the sound is struck and relaxed, and there is a clear difference from ordinary wood.

While circling the coffin, Li Luant talked eloquently, "The so-called 'yellow intestine', that is, the yellow heart of the cypress, is the peeled cypress, that is, the cypress used in the coffin room, the heart is yellow." The wood used for the theme is cypress rafters with the bark stripped of the tree, and it is named after the pale yellow color of the wood. The yellow heart of cypress wood causes the outside of the coffin, so it is called the yellow intestine. Wood is introverted, so it is called a topic. That is, the yellow intestine refers to the material and color of the tomb - cypress yellow heart, and the inscription refers to the form and structure of the tomb - the wood is introverted. The yellow intestine inscription was a name that only appeared in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and before that, it was only called inscription. ”

The dark glasses looked at it calmly, "This yellow intestine problem is not something that ordinary people can afford, but it is true in front of me-"

As soon as the words came out, the three of them already had a bottom in their hearts: the coffin is not the funeral method of ordinary people, but the privilege of the nobility, and the Zhou Dynasty had etiquette regulations on funerals: the Son of Heaven should use two coffins and five coffins. In other words, the body of the Son of Heaven should be made of a two-layer coffin and a five-layer coffin. In the "Xunzi and Treatise on Etiquette" during the Warring States Period, it is recorded that the coffin of the Son of Heaven is sevenfold, the princes are fivefold, the doctor is threefold, and the scholar is heavy. From top to bottom, the candidates use one coffin and four coffins or three coffins and two coffins, the doctor uses one coffin and two coffins, and the scholars use one coffin and one coffin, and the people only have one coffin left. Among them, the outermost layer is called the "big coffin", and there are differences in size, the coffin of the Son of Heaven is eight inches thick, the doctor's coffin is six inches thick, and the common people are only allowed to be four inches thick.

Wogua's face changed: "Could it be that which emperor is lying in this coffin?" Doesn't it mean that such a high-standard burial method can only be used to bury the Son of Heaven? ”

Li Luant shook his head, "The princes, doctors, and scholars below the Son of Heaven can also use questions." However, in general, cypress wood should not be used, but pine wood and miscellaneous wood. However, with the permission of the Son of Heaven, the princes and kings and important ministers can also use the yellow intestine inscription after their death, such as the death of Han Huoguang, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty gave the Zi Palace, the toilet room, and the yellow intestine inscription one each, that is, the best proof."

As soon as this sentence came out, the correct answer was almost revealed, Li Luant made up his mind in his heart, then Liu Jing must be in the coffin of this yellow intestine question, the black glasses were half-convinced, and Wogua didn't believe it at all: I looked for the king of Guangling Si for so long, and I was bumped into by myself when I met a coffin?

Thinking about it like this, the giant leech and pig giant snouthorn worm I met before were the bodyguards that Liu Jing deliberately raised there?

I feel disgusting for a moment: this Liu Jing's taste is quite unique.

Dry staring can't see anything, a few people decided to open the coffin as soon as they discussed, only outside no matter how whimsical it was, it was just a blind thought, and if actual evidence could be found to prove that this was Liu Jing's words, then the answer to all the questions would be solved.

The three of them each stood in a position, and the gourd and the black glasses took on the front and back sides of the coffin, and the three of them were busy for a long time, and the Luoyang shovel that broke a corner of the wogua was once again powerful, and the embedded dead coffin nails were stiffly picked up again, and they muttered in their mouths while puffing.

Li Green Ant is setting up preparations with Black Glasses to prevent the corpse from mutating, because Li Green Ant always has a feeling that after this coffin is opened, there is a high probability that something terrible will happen inside. But Wogua seemed to be lazy and unwilling to work, so he immediately accused two sentences: "I said Comrade Wogua, the revolution can't be half-hearted, and the heart is ape-minded, you can work hard, why do you climb to the top of the coffin in a good manner?" Do you think it's Simmons? ”

Wogua was wronged, "This coffin is nailed too deep, and I can't pull out a single one, and I can't get out of it if I can't get out of the foothold when I easily exert force next to it, so I want to completely stand up and exert force." ”

"If you want to be lazy, you don't want to find a better excuse, it's so easy to be exposed, did you do it on purpose?"

One of the seven nails of the coffin nail is the descendant nail, the legend can also make the descendants prosperous, when the burial is covered, a red line should be tied on it, pulled by the filial son by hand, the carpenter gently knocks it is finished, which means "leave the after", that is, the source of the current "do things to leave a line, and see each other in the future", this nail is taboo to be nailed, otherwise it is extremely unfavorable to future generations. The people are still like this, the royal family is more particular about funerals, and this nest of melons is lazy to find a reason, saying that they can't pull it all out, it's just too.

Li Luant decided to give Wogua an ideological education, change a circle with Wogua, and let him help Black Glasses, and immediately walked to Wogua's feet, "Wogua, your performance really hurts me, today I despise the Young Pioneers of the whole country together-"

Eyes moved to the coffin lid at will, Li Luant looked stunned, Wogua panted and collapsed on the coffin lid, and stuffed the Luoyang shovel into Li Luant's hand, "You can do it, it's not that this handsome is lazy, it's that this coffin nail is really the same as his mother's concrete, and it doesn't move." ”

Seeing that Li Luant's face changed suddenly, the black glasses also knew that something was wrong, and turned here to take a look, and suddenly looked a little surprised.
