Chapter 40: Zombies
"It's incredible" Professor Liu jumped into the sarcophagus and looked at the inside of the golden silk nan coffin and said excitedly, after listening to Professor Liu's words, I quickly stepped forward and jumped in to support the sarcophagus, when I looked at the inside of the golden silk nan coffin, I was also stunned.
Before, I smelled the fishy smell emitted from the golden silk nanmu coffin, I thought it was the body of the rotten corpse in the golden silk nanmu coffin, but what I didn't expect was that the corpse in the coffin was not rotten at all, not to mention, it still maintained a lifelike appearance, but the corpse's face was a little blue and the eyes were a little black, this corpse was wearing a purple official uniform, and the official uniform was embroidered with a rui beast unicorn, and the corpse wore a black gauze hat on its head, There is a pearl with a diameter of more than four centimeters inlaid in the middle of the hat, and there is a pillow with gold wire inlaid with jade under the neck of this corpse, and there is a jade seal on the left side of the corpse, and I can't see what words are written at the bottom of the jade seal, but I see that the top of the jade seal is engraved with a rui beast unicorn, and on the right side of the corpse is a golden sword, the scabbard is engraved with the pattern of double dragons playing with pearls, and the hilt is engraved with the traditional Xu Da character.
Professor Liu first picked up the jade seal and looked at it, "That's right, it's Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, it's him, this is definitely another major discovery in the archaeological community" Professor Liu said this, tears flowed down, and I was also a little excited after listening to Professor Liu's words.
Judging from the face of this corpse, he was in his fifties when he died, I remember that there is a record in the history books that Xu Da was born in 1332 and died in 1385, he lived fifty-five years old, and from this appearance it is still relatively agreeable, and then the two burial goods next to the corpse can also explain the identity of the owner of the tomb, and the official uniform worn by the corpse can also explain the identity of the owner of the tomb, I didn't expect that after more than 600 years, I actually saw the body of Xu Da, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, and it is still an incorruptible body.
"Professor Liu, why do I think something seems to be wrong with this corpse," I said to Professor Liu with a frown, looking at the corpse in the coffin of the golden silk nanmu.
"Don't talk nonsense if you kid doesn't understand, you've read it all right, let's leave quickly, don't hinder our work" Professor Liu gave me an eviction order.
"Oh, I see," I said, taking off the work card around my neck and handing it to Professor Liu, and then jumped out of the sarcophagus and walked out, I looked back at the giant sarcophagus from time to time as I walked forward.
"How can that corpse look the same as the zombie in it, could it be that the corpse has become a zombie," I said to myself.
"I must have seen too much, it's true that there are ghosts in this world, but how can there be zombies," I said to myself again, shaking my head.
It was already half past ten at noon when I left the archaeological site, and I went straight back to our dormitory. I lay on the bed thinking about the images I had just seen, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong I felt, why was there a green mist in that coffin? Why does the corpse not decompose and still smell fishy? How can all this be explained! The more I thought about it, the more I didn't understand.
"Yes, call Master, he should know more about this aspect" Just when I couldn't figure it out, I took out the phone and dialed Master.
"Say something quickly, let it go quickly, I'm busy now," Master said angrily to me when he received my call.
"Master, you complained yesterday that I didn't call you, I called you, and you took such an attitude towards me, is it a little wrong for you to do this?" I pretended to be aggrieved and said into the phone.
"Are you educating me?" At this time, the master's tone of voice was a little annoyed.
"No, no, how dare I, I'm calling you today because I want to ask you something," I said seriously into the phone.
"Then you hurry up, I'm still busy helping others with funerals!" Master said hurriedly on the phone.
"Okay, then I'll make a long story short, here's the thing, first a construction team found an ancient tomb at the back of our dormitory building, and then in the past two days, a group of archaeological teams have come to excavate this ancient tomb, today I was curious to follow a professor into the site to watch them dig the ancient tomb, just in time to pick up the coffin, I think the body in the coffin is a little wrong" I paused when I said this.
"If there's something wrong, hurry up and say" Master was a little interested in what I said.
"When that corpse died, it was about 650 years ago, and his body did not decompose at all, but the coffin emitted a disgusting fishy smell, ten times worse than the rancid smell from the white porcelain vat we smelled before, and the coffin still emitted a green mist, and the corpse's face was blue and his eyes were a little dark....... "I told Master everything I saw.
"Then don't you see if there are any sharp teeth in his mouth, and whether his nails are long," Master asked me carefully on the phone.
"I hadn't noticed this yet, but I noticed that the corpse's body seemed to be emitting green gas," I continued to my master.
"If I'm not mistaken, that corpse has now become a zombie, you kid hurry up and inform those people to stay away from that zombie, if you come into contact with that zombie for a long time, it is easy to be infected with corpse poison, once the corpse poison attacks the heart, then this person will be hopeless, I will be busy here for a while, and when I am done, I will come to you in the afternoon, I won't tell you first" After the master said this, he hung up the phone.
I lay on the bed and thought about what the master had just said, and if I had told the people in the archaeological team to leave as the master had said, they might not have listened to me and would have blown me away as if I had been mentally ill.
"I don't want to be like that, being treated as a neuropathy is a neurotic, as long as I have a clear conscience," I said to myself and walked out of the dormitory.
When I approached the archaeological site, the armed police with guns stopped me outside and didn't let me in, because I had a work permit given to me by Professor Liu, and I could follow Professor Liu in, but now I don't have anything, and they won't let me in at all.
"Professor Liu, Professor Liu" I shouted from outside the archaeological site and inside, no matter how much I shouted, no one responded to me.
Just as I was about to leave the archaeological site, the big brother Fang who had smashed his hand before walked out of the archaeological site.
