Chapter 644: Afterlife Coffin
Seeing that there was a person lying flat on the coffin board, no matter how strong Wu Yi's psychological defense line was, it collapsed directly at this moment, and he was numb all over his body, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
When the fat man heard Wu Yi's movements, he squatted next to the sarcophagus and tilted his head to look at it, and said with a smile,
"Don't be afraid, it's not a person, it's a figurine that doesn't know what material is resting on the coffin lid, don't talk about you kid, in this case, even the fat man I just saw it and shook it a few times, I really don't know what kind of calculation this tomb owner Lao Er made, how could he think of putting a figurine on the coffin lid, just to scare us?"
"Figurines?"
Wu Yi took a breath, and said in his heart that it was like this, and shone a few times on the lid of the coffin with a flashlight, and indeed found that this person was slightly different from a normal person, a normal person lying on the coffin, there must be some gaps between the coffin and the coffin board, but this person was tightly attached to it, and the two seemed to be cast together with iron paste
The blind man and Bai Yue also came up with the fat man before, but because the fat man opened the coffin, he ignored the blind two, at this time the blind man listened to the fat man and Wu Yiyi, only to know that there was a figurine on the coffin lid, and immediately sighed lightly, and hurriedly asked Wu Yi what this figurine looks like?
As soon as Wu came over, he didn't see it clearly, but he heard the fat man muttering on the side,
"What else could it be? Although I didn't look at it carefully before, I could imagine that the eight achievements of the figurines were a little monk pinched according to the appearance of the old man in the coffin."
It's not just the fat man who thinks so, Wu Yi also thinks that the figurines placed on the coffin should be made according to the image of the tomb owner himself, just like when doing funerals now, a black and white photo of the deceased will be placed next to the coffin of the deceased, in fact, it is used to show his identity, but when he walked over and looked at the coffin with a flashlight, Wu Yi was surprised!
The shape of this figurine is extremely strange, especially the appearance of the figurine, its two eyes are not embedded in the eye sockets, but protrude outwards to the length of two fingers, as if two cylinders have been inserted in the eye sockets
The nose is wide and large, the lips are ridiculously thick, and the two ears are even more exaggerated, the size of two palms on both sides of the head, no matter how you look at it, this does not look like a figurine, but like a monster
The more Wu Yi looked at it, the more he felt that there was a strange feeling in his heart, he had never encountered a monster of this shape along the way, what did the owner of this tomb mean by putting this thing on his coffin? Could it be that this figurine is actually a mascot like the Zhenling Divine Beast?
Compared with the appearance, the body of the figurines is much more normal, except that they are a little tall, there is nothing special
Wu Yi glanced at it a few more times, and then explained the image of the figurine in front of him to the blind man, but he didn't expect that after listening to it, the blind man actually clapped his hands and showed an expression that was really like this!
Wu Yi knew that the blind man was well-informed, and when he saw the blind man like this, he immediately asked the blind man if he recognized something
The blind man sighed a few times and said,
"Master Wu, have you ever seen the Sanxingdui Cultural Site before?"
Wu Yi shook his head and said,
"I really haven't been to Sanxingdui, but I've seen the Sanxingdui bronze mask in it in several books, what's the matter? Does this figurine still have anything to do with Sanxingdui?"
The fat man squatted over there and said sarcastically,
"I said Xiao Wu, can you move your brain when you speak, when is Sanxingdui the ruins, it has to be traced back to the Neolithic Age, and it will be at least three or four thousand years from now, how long is our tomb, compared with Sanxingdui, it is just a chick! So how can there be a relationship between the two?"
But the blind man said,
"Fat man, you really blame Wu Ye this time, the two ancient tombs may have nothing to do with each other in terms of age and structure, but in a certain spiritual yearning, it is possible to coincide
Wu Ye, you just said that you once saw the bronze human mask unearthed in Sanxingdui? That's great, take a closer look, is the mask you've seen similar to the face of this figurine?"
Wu Yi was stunned when he heard this, then carefully looked at the face of the figurine, frowned, and said,
"It's really a bit similar when you say this, the human mask in Sanxingdui seems to be the same shape, the eyes bulge outward, like the eyes of a crab, and they are all big mouths and big ears, what the hell is going on?"
The blind man said,
In fact, whether it is the mask in Sanxingdui, or the face of the figurines in front of us, this is a kind of spiritual yearning of the ancients, the protruding eyes and palm-sized ears symbolize the clairvoyance and the ears of the wind, representing the spirit of the ancients who wanted to explore astronomy and geography
The old man guessed that the reason why the tomb owner would place a figurine of such a shape on his coffin was to make himself a person with this clairvoyant ability in the next life, so this kind of sarcophagus that grouting the figurines and the coffin together is also known as the coffin in the afterlife.
"Afterlife coffin?"
Wu Yi and the fat man both changed color slightly, the fat man didn't look at the figurines on it carefully just now, after listening to the blind man's words at this time, he was curious, so he put down the work at hand first, stood up and held the torch to look, and after looking around, he also nodded again and again,
"Well, don't say it, the shape is indeed a bit like the clairvoyance and the appearance of the wind ear in the Romance of the Gods, the ancients really dare to think about anything, if you are not blind, you know this, fat man, I thought this was an alien!"
Since this is a rare coffin in the afterlife, it shows even more that the person in the coffin must be the owner of the tomb, Wu Yi took out some equipment that could restrain the corpse, pinned the black donkey's hooves to his waist, and put a little glutinous rice in everyone's pocket, and opened the cinnabar and sprinkled a layer on this third-order stone platform
After all these are done, he looked at the fat man again, and the fat man's work was almost done, at this time, all the fire paint had been scraped off, and he was priing a few coffin nails on the coffin board, after prying, the fat man threw the equipment in his hand to the ground, took a deep breath, pushed it on the head of the figurines on the coffin board with his hand, glanced at Wu Yi, and pushed it forward!
