Chapter Seventy-One
I subconsciously pulled upwards, and it was a human hand.
True, a pale man's arm was pulled out of the white grease.
Before I could react, the flesh on that arm was crumbled by the process of pulling me up.
It was as if the flesh had been stewed, and it would rot when it was pinched.
I was so frightened that I was about to throw this arm to the side, but the arm seemed to suddenly become self-conscious, grabbed my arm, and I couldn't react, and the whole person fell from the coffin lid outside.
With a pop, my whole body was soaked in the white grease of the bronze hanging coffin.
My heart was already up and down at this time, and I was even at a loss, my hands and feet were desperately swimming in the grease liquid, and I unconsciously peeled off the white grease near the edge of the bronze coffin I was in, and found that all the corpses under the grease were all horizontal and vertical.
My body was soaked in the translucent, semi-solid, half-liquid grease, and I came into close contact with the corpses soaked in the grease.
My eyes were open, these people were all naked, their stomachs were hollow, and their entrails had long since been cleaned.
The corpse was pressed layer by layer, layer upon layer under the grease inside the bronze hanging coffin.
I guess this is the corpse oil that spilled out of the human body when the corpses were cooked.
The way these people died was so tragic that after being killed, they were disemboweled, and then thrown into this large bronze hanging coffin to cook, like a chicken stewed in a casserole.
Coffins have always been the place of death for people, but I have never heard of the ancient ritual of cooking corpses in coffins.
I heard that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was good at cooking corpses, but the props used by people to cook corpses were not bronze hanging coffins, but bronze tripods, and it was not a special sacrificial ritual but a punishment.
"Could it be that cooking corpses in the huge bronze hanging coffin here is also a punishment?" I took a deep breath, trying to keep myself calm, my feet on the layers of corpses below, half of my head out of the water looking at the cooked corpses soaked in the corpse oil, and I felt a sadness in my heart for no reason.
"Commander Liu, how is it? What's the catch? What's inside the bronze coffin? At this time, the fat man outside seemed to notice that I had fallen into the bronze hanging coffin, and greeted me anxiously.
"It's all big rice dumplings, those people died so miserably, they were cooked in a huge bronze hanging coffin, and the corpses were boiled and cooked, and I touched it lightly and melted. I didn't find anything other than corpse oil and cooked corpses. Fatty, if you feel a little hungry, come up and eat something cooked. This thing is like boiled red pork, the more you soak, the more fragrant it becomes! I said to the fat man half-jokingly, and when I came back to my senses, I stepped on the corpse under the grease, and desperately stretched out my hands, and was about to crawl out of the hanging coffin.
It's not that I'm not without sympathy when I'm joking about the dead at this time, but in such an environment, maybe through the ridicule of fat people, I can find a trace of comfort in my heart.
When the fat man heard me say this, he was stupid, stood stupidly, and asked with a half-believing face: "Cooked corpse?" You won't lie to me, will you! Strange, how can there be a mature corpse here? ”
I asked, "Fatty, listen to you, where have you seen it before?" ”
The fat man shook his head and said, "That's not true, when you say that the corpse is cooked, it reminds me of an allusion." At that time, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, prepared to cook Liu Bang's father, Liu Taigong, to threaten Liu Bang. Guess what Liu Bang, this old boy, said? ”
I asked, "Could it be that this bronze hanging coffin has something to do with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu?" ”
The fat man said, "I don't know about that!" However, it is certain that this custom of cooking corpses was very popular in the ancient Qin and Han dynasties. But what exactly is the point of cooking corpses? Is it human flesh for food? ”
"If the corpse is cooked for eating, it's unlikely, I think it's more like a punishment." I shook my head.
Just as I had no time to catch my breath in the bronze hanging coffin that I had just climbed out of with all my might, I suddenly felt the inside of the bronze hanging coffin under the coffin board suddenly begin to vibrate.
I was taken aback, and hurriedly lay on the coffin board and looked into the gap in the corner of the coffin that was opened at the end of the coffin, only to see that the corpse oil inside the hanging coffin, which was originally in a semi-solidified and semi-liquid state, began to boil violently.
This boiling was not caused by heating, but the bronze hanging coffin seemed to be hiding a huge monster, which violently stirred the corpse oil that contained the rice inside the bronze hanging coffin, which caused such a big movement.
I subconsciously thought that maybe I had just fallen into the bronze hanging coffin caused a huge movement, which made the guy inside the hanging coffin wake up,
The white translucent grease in the bronze coffin boiled violently, and then a corpse floated from it, as if they were dead and staring at me one by one, looking at me with wide eyes.
Seeing such a scene, my stomach turned violently, and I covered my mouth and couldn't help but stand on the edge of the bronze hanging coffin, and I began to vomit.
The movement in the bronze hanging coffin became bigger and bigger, as if some peerless demon was about to be born, and after a while, the fat man below also clearly noticed the movement above, and hurriedly urged me: "Taixuan, hurry down!" I'm afraid that the old dumpling in the bronze hanging coffin has cheated the corpse. ”
I knew that this place was not suitable for a long time, so I immediately followed the bronze chains with the thickness of the bowl mouth tied to the bronze hanging coffin, and fell to the bottom of the bronze hanging coffin, but then found the rope stuck in the bronze chain, and with a whoosh, a distance of five meters, I used the speed drop to land in an instant.
The descent seemed easy, but for me, every second was so shocking.
After I came down, I didn't care about the fat and minced meat all over my body, and immediately panted and said to the fat man: "That bronze hanging coffin somehow began to make a huge movement, I always feel that this bronze hanging coffin will have unexpected changes, let's leave quickly." ”
The fat man scolded and said: "His uncle, fat man, I wanted to make a small fortune in this bronze hanging coffin, which Cheng thought, the big dumpling in the coffin turned out to be a miser, just spare his life for the time being, and then slowly clean him up in the future." ”
