"When I arrived, the coffin was still intact, but it had been opened, and the ancient corpses inside were a mess, and a few policemen were still sitting on the coffin discussing how to divide the spoils. eBook free download.. 。 It was with great difficulty that I stopped the looting and persuaded them to return the looted cultural relics as soon as possible. Wang Zitong said.

It's completely different from what is described in the newspaper, but it makes sense. The so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, there is such a 'bastard' director in Mosong Town, there must be the same subordinates, and they don't join the army of robbery. It's just hard to imagine how a 'girl' child like Wang Zitong who is so shy stopped them.

"At that time, I was also shocked when I saw the corpse, the deceased was a male 'sex', and I couldn't tell from the skin and face that it was a corpse that had been dead for a long time, because the corpse was not decomposed, and it was quite intact. He could only be judged by his costumes, and the rings he found later also proved this. Judging from the precepts, its holder is named Yang Fuxin, and the precepts were issued in the fourth year of orthodoxy in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1439 AD, about 500 years ago. I discussed it with Professor Ye a few times, and initially deduced that this corpse was the owner of this ring. ”

I groaned for a moment: "Looking at the description on the file, it is said that when you put your hand into the coffin, you actually found that the body was as cold as ice to the 'touch', is there such a thing?" ”

"Not bad." Once his specialty was involved, Wang Zitong's tone became more and more fluent, and he couldn't see the slightest stunned appearance at all: "It's not just the corpse, but after the coffin was opened, the seal 'sex' was broken, and it was exposed to the scorching sun for nearly six hours, and the temperature inside was still very cold." At that time, I took a thermometer and measured it at minus one degree. It's really incredible. ”

"It's a bit hard to understand, I don't know how they did it!" I thought as I drove.

"It's also mentioned in my report. Most likely, it is due to two factors. She sorted out her thoughts slightly and said, "First, Yang Fuxin's tomb adopts a grout structure. The four walls are built with blue bricks, and after the coffin is put in, the three-way soil slurry is poured between the brick wall and the coffin, and the coffin is wrapped with a strong sealing layer. And it also uses a special substance, alum, in its pouring. Alum can be used as a 'mixing' coagulant to prevent cracking of the grouting and thus strengthen the sealing 'properties'. Due to the sealing, constant temperature, and lack of oxygen in the burial chamber, bacteria cannot multiply, which creates conditions for the preservation of corpses. ”

The so-called triple soil is made of glutinous rice boiled into pulp, plus lime and loess, and mixed according to a certain proportion, which is similar to the current cement. It's just that although this method is commonly used, it gives me an indescribable uncomfortable feeling, as if I think of something, and I can't always catch a fleeting agility.

"The second is the coffin liquid. What we claim to the outside world is that when the coffin was removed, we were surprised to find that the bottom of the tomb was relatively simple to dispose of, and the triple soil slurry was much thinner than the perimeter and top of the coffin. The river in the Mosong River has a high groundwater level. The thin bottom is deliberately made so that the groundwater seeps in little by little from below over a period of 500 years, forming a coffin. And before that, because of the lack of oxygen in the sealing of the burial chamber, the corpse** had stopped, and later the soaking of the coffin liquid just helped it to keep it moist. ”

Wang Zitong smiled for some reason, looking a little naughty: "Actually, we still don't know the composition of the coffin liquid. Although the coffin liquid evaporated after it was opened, Professor Night extracted some of the coffin liquid from the coffin's wood. After taking it for testing, the Provincial Research Institute couldn't say why. ”

These words suddenly made my original bad feeling even more serious.

Glutinous rice, sanhe soil with alum, and mysterious coffin, why would it be so troublesome to bury an ordinary wandering monk? Even if it is a high-ranking monk, it is estimated that he will not be able to take such good care. What is so special about that monk? Judging from the description of the tomb's 'cave', the person who repaired the tomb must have been a talented 'yin' yang master or feng shui master. He must have had to do something for his painstaking efforts to build this tomb.

But what is the reason for this?

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt, and my eyelids even jumped up in a lively 'mess'. With Wang Zitong's soft voice: "It's here." ”

I stopped the car, walked down, and looked at the tomb.

The Lord said to Adam, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, the earth will be cursed for your sake." and thou shalt toil all the days of thy life, that thou shalt get food out of the ground. The earth will bring forth thorns and thistles, and thou shalt eat the herbs of the field. and thou shalt sweat thy face before thou shalt eat, until thou wilt return to the earth; for thou art out of the earth. You are dust, and you will return to dust. ”

—Old Testament Genesis 3:17-19.

The ancients believed that human flesh and blood belonged to the human world, and must be formally buried after it decayed, so that the soul of the deceased could be reincarnated after leaving the body and entering the 'underworld'.

Under normal circumstances, a person's body is buried in the soil and quickly decays. This is because the human body is made up of proteins, fats, carb compounds, and phosphorus, potassium, and calcium, among others. The corpse will soon become a gas volatilized after being destroyed by ** bacteria in the soil, and the remaining material will also decay due to the separation of various compounds, and finally only a pile of white bones remains.

The so-called "corpse raising ground" has a rather 'yin' and cold soil, and the soil 'color' is black. If it is a dry field, it will only turn the corpse into a dry corpse, so people who know Feng Shui generally use the earth to determine its position, or simply use the touch of the fingers or even simply try the soil with the tip of the tongue. As long as the corpse is buried in the "corpse raising ground", due to the extremely unbalanced glue and pH of the soil, the breath-holding "nature" can be good and very unsuitable for the growth of organic matter. Therefore, the coffin will not breed ants, insects, bacteria, etc., and even if the corpse is buried for hundreds or even thousands of years, the body's muscles, flesh, hair, etc. will not rot.

Wang Zitong led me to the place where the ancient corpse was dug up, and the area within a radius of 300 meters has been surrounded by a cordon, which is very similar to the style of the second uncle.

A simple rain shelter has been built in the original place where the coffin was originally placed with engineering bags, and when I lifted the canopy, I saw that there was a pit about 3 meters deep inside. There are still some remnants of Sanhe soil and broken bricks in the pit. I went down to the bottom of the pit and grabbed a handful of dirt with my hands. The soil is slightly cool, dark and moist. However, it does not show the typical 'nature' of the corpse. There's nothing strange about it, it's just an ordinary piece of farmland.
