"Lao Feng! Look at the foot of that pillar, does it look like a foot? ”

As soon as Section Chief Feng heard this, he trembled again.

"What feet, human feet, or animal paws?"

Lin Ying handed the night vision device to Lao Feng, he put it on his head, looked in the direction of Lin Ying's finger for a while, then took it off, and said with a pale face: "What is exposed there is half a shoe, was it thrown there?" Or is someone hiding behind a pillar? ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look!" Lin Ying said.

Section Chief Feng stopped her.

"Wait!"

He handed the crowbar in his hand to Lin Ying, and then ran to the black coffin to pat it.

"Let's pry it open first, I want to see if the suspicious mound made by King Luqiu is stuffed or not."

Lin Ying understood what Lao Feng meant, if there was no body in this coffin, or the burial specifications of the corpse were very low, it meant that the person buried in the coffin before was King Luqiu.

If the King of Deer Hill is really buried, that cave should be Humen. As long as the Hugh Gate is determined, it is better to determine the properties of the other caves. In this way, the structure of the entire underground world will be clear.

Lao Feng ran to the offering table where the Xuande furnace was placed, but unfortunately, there was no crowbar under the table this time.

Lin Ying waved her hand: "I'm enough alone." ”

She walked to the black coffin, Lao Feng had already found the groove where to put the crowbar, Lin Ying put the crowbar well, and as soon as she used her strength, she only heard the slate make a goosebump-like sound of wear, and then a foul smell rushed to her face.

"Oops!" Feng Ke screamed, hurriedly pulled Lin Ying, and covered his nose.

Lin Ying also hurriedly did the same, she held her breath and asked, "Is it poisonous?" ”

"I'm afraid it's corpse!" Section Chief Feng snorted and said, "But, how did it flash and flash?" ”

Lin Ying looked up and saw a leap of blue fire in the air. She pulled Section Chief Feng over, but at this time, Lao Feng also realized the problem.

"Ghost fire, there's phosphine in the coffin!"

Phosphine is a gas produced when human and animal carcasses decompose, it has no color, smells like salted fish, and is easy to spontaneously ignite when it comes into contact with air. Because there are many corpses in the cemetery, the phosphine that spontaneously combusts at night flashes brightly, and it is considered to be a "ghost lamp", so it is also called a "ghost fire".

Everyone knows about the spontaneous combustion of phosphine, but I'm afraid I don't know that it is also a highly toxic gas, which has a toxic effect on the whole body of the person.

The black coffin has been sinking for a long time and has a strong airtightness, so the phosphine concentration in the coffin is high. Now, as soon as there is a gap, a large amount of gas naturally leaks out, so the stench around is scattered, and there are many ghost fires.

However, this also happens to show that there is a body in the coffin.

Lin Ying and Lao Feng and the others almost dissipated their gas, and then turned on the flashlight again and went over to look. However, the contents of the coffin disappointed Lao Feng.

Sure enough, there was a corpse there, he was wearing a python robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a winged crown on his head. However, probably because of the coffin, this corpse was not completely decomposed, and there were pieces of black flesh and hair stuck under its white bones, which looked disgusting.

"Could it be that there are eight bodies in eight coffins?" Lin Ying was also surprised.

Section Chief Feng's face was quite ugly, he turned on his flashlight, examined it carefully, and then said angrily: "These people should have been forced to be buried. I really can't imagine that in the Wanli period, there was actually a prince who was mad and used a living person to be martyred! ”

Human martyrdom is one of the most brutal burial systems in history. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the concubines to be buried in the filial piety tomb. This system was not broken until the time of his great-great-grandson, Ming Yingzong.

Although he executed the meritorious hero Yuqian (not Guo Degang's partner) due to personal grudges after the restoration, he had a little inspiration before his death, abolished the system of concubine martyrdom, and was called "Shengde" by the people at the time.

But Rao is like this, and the wind of martyrdom among the people is still very loud. The Manchu Qing Dynasty in Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and Emperor Shunzhi, who entered the customs, were martyred, and it was not until the Kangxi reign that the order was re-ordered and began to prohibit "slave burial".

Although Section Chief Feng is an archaeologist, he is not without his own three views, and he obviously "hates" the funeral system.

In fact, people who hate burial have existed since ancient times, and Confucius even opposed the burial of figurines, and the famous sentence "the one who started the martyrdom has no aftermath" came from the mouth of the sage.

He held the coffin and looked at it for a long time, then moved the flashlight to the chest of the bones, pointed at it with the other hand and said, "Xiaolin, look! ”

Lin Ying looked down and saw a round black thing there.

"I'll go down and take a look!"

After Section Chief Feng finished speaking, before Lin Ying could stop him, he jumped down inside with the coffin gang.

Hearing only the sound of "bang", he was already standing in the coffin. He carefully dodged the bones, then leaned down and touched the black thing before he looked up.

"I guessed right, this is the nail that nails the corpse - this man was nailed alive to the bottom of the coffin, so he is only a martyr, not the King of Deer Hill himself."

"Nail people to death in coffins...... Lin Ying was also shocked.

Section Chief Feng sighed: "Sometimes, you can't imagine the bottom line of some royal magnates - far from it, just before liberation, the serf owners in Tibet still cut out their slaves' eyes and hands at will, and arbitrarily executed them.

"What's even more cruel is that they often dry and play with their chopped off arms, and some even behead serfs, make wine glasses out of skulls, or skin them alive and make adult pi thangkas, which are used as works of art...... These things happened sixty or seventy years ago, right? ”

Lin Ying gasped.

Although tomb robbing is not a good deed, some people who mutilate the people do not deserve sympathy when they are crushed and scattered.

The two of them walked down the coffin with a heavy heart, Lin Ying carried a crowbar, and Section Chief Feng held a thick jade belt full of precious stones in his hand, and they touched the stone pillar with half of his shoes exposed, one left and one right.

When approaching the stone pillar, Lin Ying deliberately made a little movement. It's called scaring the snake, but the shoe didn't move at all. Section Chief Feng turned on the flashlight with confidence, and the two of them quickly walked forward at the same time, turning to the back of the stone pillar at once.

However, the scene in front of them shocked the two of them!

That's not a shoe, it's worn on a person's foot. And the man was already tied up, and he was clinging to the stone pillar in a "1" shape. And the place between their chest and abdomen was also nailed with a long black iron nail.

This is by no means an ancient man, because he wears modern clothes, has a modern hairstyle, and that shoe is also a pair of modern leather shoes.

His head hung over his right shoulder, and he looked like he was no longer breathing.

This is a stranger, is he one of the missing volunteers or migrant workers in the Niangniang Temple?
