Chapter 248: Piecing together the whole corpse
But if it's really like Huzi said, this square box is a small coffin, it's too small, only thirty centimeters long, even if you put a baby in, it looks a little crowded. Who would use such a small coffin? And why there are two coffins in one coffin at the same time, it's too damn illogical.
Seeing that I couldn't answer, Huzi had a smug look on his face, and said, "Hey, according to me, this is a coffin of a mother and a son, the big coffin contains the mother's, and the small one is buried in the small one, is there anything wrong?" ”
I definitely didn't believe Huzi's statement, and I didn't bother to talk to him, so I took the small box out of the coffin and said, "Although I don't know why this is happening, I will know if I open it anyway." After speaking, I took out the Miao knife, as if I wanted to pry open this wooden box, but was stopped by Wang Chuyi and said, "Lao Bai, have you noticed that although the lines on this box are the same as those on the coffin, they seem to be much newer than the coffin." ”
I looked closely, and sure enough, the black lacquer lines on the box were obviously much clearer than those on the coffin, so I asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Wang Chu looked at the wooden box in my hand, then looked at the coffin in the coffin, and said, "Will there be such a possibility, this coffin was buried first, and this wooden box, it may be a few years, or even more than ten years later, and put it into this coffin, the coffin lid is opened, and the air enters the coffin, and the coffin that is put in first is eroded by the air, and oxidation occurs, and when the box is put in, the coffin is resealed, so it looks like the black lacquer lines on this box, It's much newer than the one on the coffin. ”
I carefully looked at the lines on the box, and it was indeed just like what Wang Chuyi said, the black paint on the coffin looked much lighter than the color on the box, "There is such a possibility, but the possibility is very small, generally after the completion of the ancient tomb, it is completely sealed from the inside, unless it is a tomb robber, basically no one will come in again." ”
I took the Miao knife, began to pry open the square box little by little, the box was closed very strong, the lid and the box body are connected, but also sealed with a layer of wax oil, after thousands of years, coupled with the low temperature environment, the wax oil has become very hard, I use the Miao knife carefully to stick to the gap, little by little all the wax oil peeled off, and then carefully open the lid on the box.
As the lid of the box was opened, I couldn't help but frown when I saw the contents inside, and inside the box was a hand, a shriveled hand, and a ruby ring on the finger.
I carefully took off the red jade ring, put it in the bag, looked at the shriveled hand in the box, and said in my heart, is Wang Chuyi's speculation right, this box is really likely to be put in later, the ancient people paid attention to entering the soil for safety, any part of the body is indispensable, in ancient times, some eunuchs and eunuchs, after they developed, would spend a lot of money to redeem their little brothers, just to have a whole corpse after their death.
Now the hand in this box is likely to be the person in the coffin, it seems that the person was missing a hand when he was buried, probably because he couldn't find it for a while, and the body couldn't be kept outside for a long time, so he could only be buried first, and then this hand was found, and the descendants wanted to let the person have a whole corpse, so they reburied this hand, but because the coffin had been sewn up and opened again, it was definitely taboo in ancient times, so it could only be used to use this square box that was exactly the same as the coffin, material, and texture. Then put it in the coffin.
If all these inferences are correct, then the deep and dark passage we crawled through before will be explained! That passage must have been dug by a later person, when he came in to bury this hand, for fear of feng shui being destroyed, he also placed stones at the entrance, and repainted it with the color of the dungeon A look of ancient yellow mud as a camouflage.
Thinking of this, I feel that my mind suddenly opens up, and everything that is illogical makes sense! And in addition to the tomb gate standing on the mountainside when we came in, there must be another road leading to the outside of the ancient tomb, and that road is probably in the underground palace where we were in distress just now! I just don't know if that road was blocked later.
When I was thinking about it for a while, Huzi had already opened the coffin, and at this time he was beckoning me and Wang Chuyi to come over.
When we got to the coffin, we found the body of a middle-aged man lying in the coffin, and I immediately went to look at the corpse's hand and found that the corpse was really missing a right hand! And the legs seem to be mutilated, I can't help but be happy when I see this, if the legs of this corpse are still mutilated, then it proves that there is still no full corpse, although the hands of the corpse sent by the descendants, but as long as it is not a full corpse, the passage they enter will not be sealed, at least it will not be sealed, it is convenient to find other parts of the corpse, and then send it in.
Wang Chuyi looked at me, then took out the hand in the box, placed it on the right hand of the corpse, and then whispered, "We can be regarded as doing a good deed." ”
At this time, Huzi had stretched out his hand and touched the corpse in the coffin, only to see him touch the neck of the corpse for a long time, and then frowned, and pulled his body violently, and pulled down a round bronze from the neck of the corpse, this bronze was composed of two walking dragons, connected from end to end, just forming a circle, and a silk thread passed through the middle and hung in the neck of the corpse, and the silk thread had been torn off by Huzi at this time.
After getting this bronze, Huzi is eyebrows and smiles, after the last tomb of King Liao, Huzi has done a lot of homework on these antiques, the value of this bronze is far more than those jade pendants, jade pieces and the like, Huzi is now simply happy to close his mouth.
At this moment, I felt that Wang Chuyi, who was standing next to me, trembled a little, and hurriedly turned to look at her, only to see that his face was pale, his whole eyes were staring directly at the head of the corpse, and his mouth was trembling slightly, as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say it.
I hurriedly hugged her and asked, "What's wrong?" First? Are you okay? ”
Wang Chuyi still stared intently at the corpse's head, and said, "That mask, the mask ......"
I turned my head to look over, and saw that the corpse did indeed have a bronze mask on its head, but due to the passage of time, the surface of the mask had turned black, and it looked very fragile, and it might shatter if I touched it with my hand.
Just now, when Huzi reached out to pull the bronze object on the corpse's neck, the corpse's neck moved slightly, and the position of the mask deviated slightly from the corpse's face, and now its chin was exposed.
