Chapter 445: The Ancient Mirror of the Shadow (I)

Through the glass, I saw the second uncle left alone in the empty office. He sneakily pulled us to a remote part of the playground and said mysteriously, "I'll solve the mystery of why that fragrant corpse didn't rot." ”

"Oh, let's hear it." I was immediately interested.

"Look here." He pointed to the extra part of the tail of the dried corpse, "According to the medical clinical deduction, the first thing to judge is that she may have suffered from chronic diseases in the anal area before her death, and it is also a chronic prolapse in the anal area." As for the reason for the death, there is no way to know now, which also means that I am afraid that when I die, because it is very serious, I can take off such a large piece at once, and the scope of the entire **** of this female corpse is normally larger. ”

Could it be that the cause of this woman's death could have been related to anorectal disease? If so, the wound on her neck seems even more difficult to explain. Lin Zhiyan analyzed.

I shook my head, "The rectum came out of the ****, there should be two reasons." One is that people don't come out when they're alive, because **** has a **** sphincter and nothing can come out. After she died, the **** sphincter relaxed, and the muscles were gradually destroyed, which was equivalent to becoming a hole. On the other hand, the pressure in the abdominal cavity will increase after her death, because the decay of the corpse starts from the abdominal cavity, there are usually many bacteria in the abdominal cavity, and the bacteria will continue to multiply after death, and a lot of gas will be produced after reproduction, which will gradually digest the things in the abdominal cavity, and then the gas will make the intestinal tube like an open sausage, so that the stomach will bulge like a balloon, and the pressure is the greatest at that time, and it is possible to push the intestines out of the ****. ”

When the second uncle saw that we didn't guess correctly, he was immediately excited like a child, "Hehe, I don't know." Yesterday, I watched the autopsy video of the female corpse of Mawangdui, and I found that she also had rectal prolapse! The question is, even if they are not only in the same state of preserved bodies, but are they also suffering from diseases before their deaths? That's too much to say. Perhaps, just maybe, this disease will play a role in the preservation of corpses! ”

So I called and asked a few experts, and the experts said that the prolapse of the rectum was indeed caused by the putrefaction gas produced by the bacteria in the abdominal cavity of the corpse, which is also a common phenomenon that occurs in a short period of time after the corpse is buried. But the question is, if the inside of their bodies has already begun to decompose, why hasn't it spread all over the body, and finally the corpses can be preserved? ”

"That means her body is heavily guarded against corruption." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Not bad. I think a big part of it was because the bacteria in her body needed oxygen and some other necessary gases to multiply. After all, bacteria also need a variety of conditions to multiply, and if these conditions are exhausted, even bacteria will not survive. When this corpse was found, it was sealed, like a vacuum, and vacuum food can be stored for a long time without spoiling, which should be a reason. ”

The second uncle said proudly, "After a person dies, the cells in the body will soon begin to autolyze. The lytic enzymes of the cells release various proteolytic enzymes that gradually degrade biological macromolecules into small molecules. In addition to this autolysis process, corpses are also eroded by various bacteria, causing the body tissue to decay and decompose. So, why are the female corpses of Dangshan and Mawangdui able to break this natural law and make the body wet but not rotten? ”

My eyes lit up "Preservatives? ”

When the corpse of the woman in Mawangdui was unearthed, it was discovered that her coffin was filled with a red liquid, and the body of Mrs. Xin Chai soaked it. After analysis, this coffin liquid not only contains a variety of antiseptic and sterilizing ingredients, but also contains tribute and arsenic components, researchers believe that this kind of god's embalming liquid is the main reason for the Mawangdui female corpse to be uncorrupted for thousands of years.

"Clever. However, unfortunately, although this incense corpse cannot be compared to the female corpse of Mawangdui from the length of time it was buried, when she was unearthed, no embalming liquid was found in the coffin. The second uncle shook his head and shook his head, his face full of happiness, "I visited the town again yesterday and asked people in the know." It is said that at the excavation site, the coffin was buried at a depth of about three or four meters. ”

"The coffin used for the female corpse is cypress, and the coffin is made of nanmu, which is very hard, very resistant to decay, and very precious. The average person can't afford it. Corrosion-resistant, which will make the storage time longer. When the female corpse was buried, there was even a coffin and two coffins, and between the coffin and the coffin, and between the coffin and the soil, there was a kind of white plaster mud filling, forming a complete closure of six layers. ”

"White plaster filling?" I had a gut feeling that something was wrong with this thing.

"These fillers are key." The second uncle said in a deep voice: "The reason why her corpse remains tender and incorruptible is all due to this layer of substance. ”

"Where's the ingredients?" I hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, it took six years, and there is still no conclusion." His expression was a little unnatural.

"Have you figured out the identity of the fragrant corpse?" I asked again.

"Not yet." The second uncle shook his head a little gloomily, "These still need to be investigated." Don't talk about being depressed, I'll show you something. ”

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized item wrapped in yellow satin from his pocket and handed it to me, "This is what I picked up at the antique market yesterday, and it should have been unearthed with the incense corpse at that time, and then it was a funeral item that was lost to the people." ”

I took it, lifted the satin and looked at it, and I was stunned.

This is actually a mirror, a bronze mirror.

This bronze mirror has a diameter of 27. 3 cm, plain edge, round buttons. The inner area is decorated with five beasts chasing each other, and the outer area is decorated with four phoenix birds shuttling among the peony flowers. The outer edge of the bronze mirror is a fourteen-petal rhombic pattern, and the outer one is decorated with fourteen cloud patterns. The four luan phoenixes have different shapes, and the feathers on their tails are carved in high relief. The eight peony flowers have different shapes, charming and enchanting.

"Looking at the workmanship, it doesn't look like the Qing Dynasty." I gently touched the mirror with my hand and asked hesitantly.

"Not bad. This mirror is academically known as the Phoenix Peony Mirror. The second uncle nodded, "You must know that the bronze mirror is most famous for the Warring States, the Two Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty." The pattern on the back of the bronze mirror is very colorful. The Warring States and Han Dynasty were at their peak, and the Tang Dynasty was even more prosperous. For example, the mountain character pattern mirror of the Warring States Period, the divine beast mirror of the Han Dynasty, and the sea beast grape mirror of the Tang Dynasty are all typical masterpieces with a sense of the times. It is exquisitely cast, colorful in form, ornate in ornamentation, and rich in inscriptions. In the Yuan Dynasty, the shape of six linghua flowers or six sunflower flowers was mostly adopted, but the ornamentation has gradually become rough and simple. “
