Chapter 105: Shroud of
I took the flashlight and shone it into the crack where the coffin was pried open, and the flashlight was not very clear, and there was a coffin inside, so I could only see the situation on this side of the gap and the size of the coffin, and I could not see the other side of the coffin. This is a very conventional outer coffin, inner coffin.
However, the coffin inside looks a little weird, although the light is not very good, but it can also be vaguely seen, the style of the coffin is very ordinary, but there are many things like silk threads wrapped around the coffin, and the winding is still very thick, as if it was deliberately wrapped, and only scattered places can see the black coffin board.
After looking at it a few times, the old prostitute made an unbelievable gesture, and actually stood in front of the coffin and untied her trouser belt.
As soon as I saw it, his action and his heart said, this is not good, you were disrespectful to the coffin owner before you opened the coffin, and you had to split the dragon coffin, and now it is even more excessive, and you want to pee inside, which is super damn disrespectful.
I immediately dragged the old prostitute from behind, and the old prostitute was startled by my tugging, and hurriedly looked around, and asked softly, "Is there a situation?" ”
"There's a fart situation, I think you have a situation. What the fuck are you doing with your pants off? It's already disrespectful to the lord inside when we open the coffin like this, don't kick your nose in the face, it's too much. ”
"Oh my god, what do you kid think?" The old prostitute glanced at me, kept pulling out the waistband of her pants, looked at me and said, "Which eye did you see Lao Tzu take off his pants, am I such a person who doesn't know how to measure?" ”
After speaking, the old prostitute took off the waist head that had been pulled out, and then folded the head of the belt, and squeezed it vigorously a few times, and squeezed out a very small thing from the belt.
I stepped forward to take a closer look, and it suddenly dawned on me that I had misunderstood, the old prostitute didn't want to take off her pants to pee at all, and I didn't know when this guy hid a soft silver needle in his belt. He unbuckled his belt to get the silver needle out, and it seemed that I was really wrong to blame him.
"When did you hide a silver needle in your belt? How I don't know. ”
The old prostitute shook the silver needle in front of my eyes and said, "How can it be done without opening the coffin, this is a life-saving guy, and you must carry it with you." ”
After speaking, he took the silver needle and stretched it out into the gap in the coffin, moved it a few times, and then took out the silver needle and looked at it for a while, but it did not change. The old prostitute put away the silver needle and said to me, "It's okay, it's not poisonous." ”
I have to admire, the old prostitute's mind is indeed very meticulous, don't look at him sometimes talking incoherently, but he is never sloppy in his work.
The old prostitute asked me to pry the coffin board with a double-fold crowbar, and then I started to break it outward, and after breaking it a few times, I found that it couldn't be broken at all, and the gap in the coffin board was still so big, so angry that the old prostitute simply didn't break it with her hands, and went directly to kick it.
It's really a bastard with a trick, don't look at the old prostitute who didn't break it with her hands, but kicked it with her feet. There were not a few times that the coffin on the left side was kicked by him and the hole was more than a meter wide.
I persuaded him not to do it, now this opening is big enough, just pry open the coffin lid inside, but the old prostitute just didn't do it, it looked like he was kicking the coffin board in a hurry, and he was screaming with the coffin board, so he had to kick the coffin board down.
If this person is in a hurry, his strength will naturally increase, and the old prostitute not only does not feel tired when he keeps kicking the coffin board, but he kicks the coffin board more and more, and kicks the coffin board on the left side unhurriedly, and even the coffin lid on the top is behind the coffin board on the right side.
The entire coffin was still standing except for the coffin board on the right side, and the rest were kicked off by the old prostitute. The coffin inside the coffin was completely exposed. At this time, the old prostitute sat on the ground and gasped, not looking tired, but like kicking too quickly, her lungs were a little uncomfortable, and she needed to adjust her breathing.
I didn't bother with the old prostitute, but became interested in the exposed coffin. Although at first I didn't agree to waste time opening the dragon coffin, now that the coffin has been opened, I would like to see what the dragon coffin contains.
Seeing the coffin that had been exposed in front of me, I couldn't help but step forward to take care of it, but as soon as the flashlight shone on the coffin, I suddenly became a little nervous.
The things wrapped outside the coffin are so unexpected that I won't be surprised if I don't see them. I didn't look closely, but just by looking at it, I felt uncomfortable all over.
Wrapped around the coffin is hair, human hair.
If I usually see the hair on the head of the dried corpse, I will not feel nervous, after all, the hair of the ancients was very long, and it is not uncommon for the corpse to have long hair, but the hair wrapped around the coffin makes me feel extremely nervous, because these hairs are so bright that there will be flashes on the flashlight, as if they are new hairs, even if they are freshly washed with Head & Shoulders, they may not have this brightness.
"Old prostitute, old prostitute, come and see what this is?" I eagerly called for the old prostitute to come over.
When the old prostitute heard me call him to look at things, she thought that I had found something good, and while getting up, she said, "I'll just say that there is something fun in the dragon-patterned coffin." ”
When the old prostitute came over and took a look, he was also stunned, but he was obviously not as nervous as me, and said to himself, how can I have so much hair? Then he scratched his head and said to me, "It's all right, it's just wrapped in a coffin, no fuss, get it open." ”
The old prostitute said that the coffin is wrapped in a layer of cloth on the outside of the coffin, called the wrap, usually only the person who died will wrap the coffin with the cloth, which means that the deceased who died will be reborn as soon as possible, and do not have resentment. To put it bluntly, it is to bind the soul of the deceased with a cloth and prevent it from coming out of the coffin, so as not to disturb or frighten the living.
Most of the shrouds are made of delicate brocade cloth, of course, there are some very rich people or powerful people who will wrap some extremely luxurious and precious things, I have heard of people going down to the tomb to steal the shroud that wraps the coffin with tens of thousands of pearls. In fact, in ancient times, not all people who died were engaged in coffins, only those high-ranking officials and nobles could afford to wrap coffins, a simple layer of wrapping looks inconspicuous, but in ancient times it was not something that ordinary people could afford, ordinary people even if they died horizontally, they could only be hastily buried, and they could not afford to buy a wrapping cloth at all.
"Wait, let's look at it and open it again, don't you think these hairs are too bright?" I said.
"What the hell are you trying to say? Don't fucking beat around the bush, let go of a fart quickly. The old prostitute said impatiently.
"Think about the material of the cloth used to wrap the coffin, have you ever seen one wrapped in a coffin with hair? This is a dragon-patterned coffin, and it is not the emperor who is buried but also the nobles of the emperor's own family, how can it be wrapped in the coffin with hair, and these hairs don't look like the hair of a dead man. The dragon coffin has to be kept here for hundreds of years, so these hairs must be hundreds of years old, how can it be preserved so brightly. I said.
"Damn, you kid, you don't want to listen to it if you don't have any culture. Where is this? This is the Golden Triangle region, there were many vassal kings here in ancient times, and they were all the leaders of ethnic minorities, do you know which tribe believes in hair? Don't look down on the hair of the ancients. Although I don't know which tribe here worships hair, I do know that there is a country in the Western Regions that believes in hair, and it is said that people there regard hair as more important than life, and they start to keep hair from birth, not only do not cut hair, but also collect the hair that is removed, and then wrap the body with all the hair after death. ”
"You say there are tribes that believe in hair, is it really fake? Isn't it because you want to open the coffin and make up nonsense to deceive me? I said confusedly.
"My god, why did you give me money? I can still joke with you about opening the coffin. ”
I don't look like the old prostitute is fooling me, but I still don't understand. "But this hair is too bright, just like just growing, this coffin must be hundreds of years old, don't tell me that my hair is wrapped in the coffin and it can grow better and better on its own."
"It's definitely impossible to grow on your own, but the ancients should have had a special way of dealing with hair, maybe the smell of Chinese medicine we just smelled when we just pried open the coffin is to treat these hairs. Don't forget, in ancient times, there was no such thing as Fluttering Tenderness and Head & Shoulders, but their hair was not also long and fluttering. The old prostitute looked at me a little puzzled, so she continued: "Don't worry, I know what your kid is worried about, these hairs are definitely not the lord inside, you see how many hairs there are, to say the least, it will take dozens of people to raise enough hair, if they are all the main ones inside, what a big head it must be." ”
After speaking, the old prostitute patted me on the shoulder. "Xiao Qi, yes, there is progress, it's right to worry, but you can't worry blindly, hurry up and get it away, let's take it if there is something good, if not, hurry up and go over there to help Zhanzhao."
As soon as I heard it, what the old prostitute said was right, I thought, go to the little wolf as soon as possible, if it weren't for the hair of the lord in the coffin, if it was the lord inside, don't be afraid, anyway, there is an old prostitute here, and the two of us still have an advantage in two-on-one.
The old prostitute used a double-fold crowbar to pick the hair on the outside of the coffin, but she didn't stir it at first, it seems that these hairs are very strong, and you really can't pick them apart without a little effort. But the old prostitute picked hard several times, but she didn't see any progress.
"Don't pick it, it's too fucking hard." Angry, the old prostitute threw the double-fold crowbar directly to the ground, and then walked to the backpack, as if to find something.
I picked up the double-fold crowbar and tried it a few times, but I really couldn't pick it up, it seemed that there was too much hair, and it had been twisted into a rope, and it was impossible to tie the coffin in one go.
The old prostitute walked over from the backpack, she should have found what she was looking for, and she was smiling cheaply, and she knew at a glance that she didn't think of anything good.
The old prostitute stood in front of the coffin, pretending to be respectful to the coffin, and said: "It's not that I have to do this, I can't help it, who made your old man's shroud high-end, I have to let you feel the cremation of the new century." As soon as she finished speaking, the old prostitute put the lighter in her hand and lit it to the hair on the coffin.
