After the news was reported, the staff of the municipal museum soon arrived and preliminarily determined that this might be an ancient tomb. -

The ancient tomb *** has such a complete corpse, and everyone present thinks it is very strange. And what happened next made Wang Zitong, a staff member of the municipal museum, even more startled! When she touched the corpse with her hands, she was surprised to find that her hands were as cold as if they had reached into the freezer compartment of a refrigerator.

When looking for the burial goods of the ancient corpse, Wang Zitong found a ring in the clothes of the ancient corpse. The precept is actually a kind of identity issued to Buddhists, monks or Buddhist disciples, when the holder of the precept travels all over the world to the temple to place orders, he needs to take out the precept to prove his identity as a monk. Judging from the precepts, the name of the holder of the precepts is Yang Fuxin, and the precepts were issued in the fourth year of orthodoxy in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1439 AD, which is about 500 years ago. Experts initially deduced that the corpse was the owner of the ring.

Since Yang Fuxin lived in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, he had been dead for more than 500 years, but his body did not decompose, and in Mosong Town, which was in the scorching summer of August, the corpse was as cold as ice to the touch, how should this be explained?

The burial wooden figurines, iron-headed javelins, and larger-than-ordinary palms show that this person is a person who practices martial arts.

In order to 'find out' Yang Fuxin's identity, professionals began to look for clues at the scene, and among some of the burial goods collected, the most striking were the samurai wooden figurines and a wooden iron-headed javelin. Zhao Kang, an expert from the Wushu Research Institute of the Municipal General Administration of Sports, found that this wooden javelin was different from ordinary martial arts guns. The head of the gun is round and shovel-shaped, and there is no similar gun in ancient weapons. It can be determined that this gun is not a weapon. But Zhao Kang said that behind it there was a little-known secret history of martial arts: in the Yuan Dynasty, the 'Mongolian' ancient people in the north entered the Central Plains. For their own people, they advocated horseback riding, wrestling, and martial arts. However, with regard to the Han nationality, a policy of banning the use of weapons was adopted. As a result, the Han people quietly practiced martial arts 'in private', and in public, they used martial arts to hide people's eyes and ears. In the martial arts scene, in order to prevent stabbing the opponent, the head of the gun is rounded.

The gun that accompanied the burial shows that Yang Fuxin loved martial arts during his lifetime, and he may have made a living from martial arts. Will this help people unravel the mystery of his identity? Ancient corpse research experts carefully examined Yang Fuxin and found that Yang Fuxin's skin was moist, soft and elastic, and some joints could still move. According to preliminary determinations, he was between 75 and 80 years old. During the examination, the experts also made a major discovery: Yang Fuxin's palm was relatively large, especially the bones of the palm were larger than that of ordinary people. This characteristic further shows that Yang Fuxin was likely to be martial during his lifetime. Because people who practice martial arts all year round, especially those who practice palms, a lot of practice will make the muscles and flesh of the palms develop, and they can also stimulate the bones to grow faster.

Is it because Yang Fuxin's body did not decompose because he took poisons such as arsenic and mercury before he died?

The samurai wooden figurines, wooden guns and oversized palms that accompanied the burial all indicate that Yang Fuxin may have practiced martial arts for many years. Since he is a martial arts person, his body is not rotten, could it be related to some secret techniques in the legends of the rivers and lakes?

In ancient China, a kind of secret technique that was widely spread in the rivers and lakes was to take the initiative to take poison, and in the months before death, insist on taking small doses of poisons such as arsenic and mercury, so that the toxins accumulated in the body can play a role in preventing the decay of the 'flesh' body after death.

But this secret technique is only hearsay. If Yang Fuxin uses this method, he will definitely leave traces in his body. The chemical composition of arsenic is arsenic, and the composition of mercury is mercury, both of which belong to heavy metal elements. In order to solve the doubts, the experts decided to collect samples such as 'hair' hair from the corpse to determine the content of heavy metal elements. However, through the chemical analysis of Yang Fuxin's internal organs and 'hair' hair, it was found that the heavy metal elements in his body were no different from normal people and belonged to the normal range. It seems that Yang Fuxin did not take the initiative to take poison. But what is it that makes his body so magically preserved?

Is it the burial environment or the special burial chamber structure that creates the conditions for the preservation of the body?

Under normal circumstances, after death, cells gradually lose their vitality and are decomposed and dissolved under the action of their own hydrolase enzymes, which is also known as autolysis. Then there is the invasion of **bacteria, through the decomposition of **bacteria, and finally the human body becomes a white bone. Experts observed from the tissue fluid that Yang Fuxin's autolysis was very sufficient, and the cells in his body began to decompose after his death. That being the case, the bacteria would have turned him into a dry bone in the next 500 years. However, his body has been preserved intact to this day.

Experts used various instruments to test Yang Fuxin's body, but still did not find the reason why his body remained intact, and everyone began to consider the scope of consideration from the body itself to the surrounding environment. Most of the dried corpses unearthed in the past came from places with extremely dry climates, such as the Gobi Desert or desert areas in Xinjiang. However, the climate of Mosong Town, where Yang Fuxin's body is located, is 'damp', how can the body be preserved in such an environment?

Wang Zitong, a staff member of the municipal museum, put forward another inference through research: Yang Fuxin's body is not decomposed, will it be related to the burial environment? So, the experts focused on Yang Fuxin's tomb.

Yang Fuxin's tomb adopts a grout structure: the four walls are built with blue bricks, and after the coffin is placed, the three-fold soil slurry is poured between the brick wall and the coffin. 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. The ancients used the pouring method to wrap the coffin with a strong sealing layer.

In the tombs of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, such a grouting structure was not uncommon, so the experts did not pay special attention to it at first. But after further research, they found that a special substance was used in the grout——— alum. 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.

Why is the sealed coffin filled with liquid, and the body remains moist all the time?

The mystery of Yang Fuxin's corpse not decomposing has been revealed step by step, but what still puzzles experts is that the corpse has remained moist so far, what is the mystery in this?

Ouyang Hua, a police officer from the Mosong Town Police Station, remembered a strange thing he saw at the scene. The coffin opened by Yang Fuxin was filled with water, and it was not raining at that time, where did the water in the coffin come from? Some speculate that it was a special antiseptic made by the ancients, like today's formalin liquid, and the corpse would not decay if soaked in it. However, experts searched through ancient documents and found no relevant records, and Xu Yongqing also raised objections to the speculation of embalming liquid.

Since Yang Fuxin's tomb is well sealed, where does the liquid in the coffin come from? When the coffin was removed, people were surprised to find that the treatment of the bottom of the tomb was relatively simple, and the three-fold 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.

The formation of ancient corpses is mostly accidental. In the Jiangnan region, it is impossible to preserve the corpse if the sealing of the tomb is not in place, or the water that seeps in is not clean enough to bring in bacteria. Like Yang Fuxin in the ancient tomb, it is the closed environment and clean groundwater that create his incorruptible body.

But the strange thing is that since Yang Fuxin's ancient corpse was dug up and transferred to the Mosong Town Museum for preservation, his nails and hair have begun to grow wildly. Wang Zitong, a staff member of the municipal museum, said that this situation has been occasionally encountered on some unearthed ancient corpses, but it is the first time that such a rapid situation has been seen, and the specific reason remains to be further investigated.

—Matthew 7 of the New Testament

Lu Yunfei was stunned after reading the report, and suddenly felt that something flashed in his mind, but the thing that seemed to be information was too weak, and he really had no way to grasp it.

With a sigh, he gently drank a little mineral water and then stuffed a small snack into his mouth. My stomach was really hungry, and because of the rapid exercise without breakfast, my muscles were a little weak, and my stomach almost cramped. After eating a little, it got a lot better.

He tied the food and water tightly in a plastic bag and carefully placed them in the innermost compartment of the backpack. I don't know how long I'll stay in the trees, but these things are used to save my life, so it's better to be careful.

Lu Yunfei looked at the bottom of the tree again, and his eyes clearly caught the zombie through the branches of the tree. He still walked around the tree in a circle, not ready to leave. He snaps a twig off a tree and throws it at the zombie's head. The branch hit the zombie's head accurately. The zombie looked around suspiciously, then looked up. Its bloodshot eyes, which were full of whites, did not know how it was imaged in the eyes, in short, it was completely unscientific, it seemed to see itself. The zombie roared in rage, its limbs bulging and trying to jump up. It's a pity that no matter how strong its physical strength is, how it doesn't know the pain after death, and how strong its body is, its jumping ability is really limited, not much stronger than that of a ten-year-old child. Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise I wouldn't have to hide, I just found a rope and hanged myself directly from the tree.
