Chapter 879: The Tomb of Treachery
The scar runs straight from the left temple to the right, across the upper eyelid and bridge of the nose, and finally disappears into the corner of the right eye.
I deliberately opened my eyelids and looked at it, and the left eye socket of the dried corpse was directly empty, and there was an equally shriveled eyeball in the right eye socket.
There was no other burial object in the coffin except for this corpse.
Zuo Youdao reached out and touched the arms and calves of the corpse, and said with a little doubt: "After being dead for so many years, the bones have not become brittle, judging from the color of the skin......"
While speaking, Zuo Youdao swept the light back and forth on the corpse a few times, and then continued: "This person should have taken a large amount of mercury before he died, his physique is relatively special, and he can completely digest and absorb the mercury, but this mercury still caused some problems in his nervous system, you see that his spine has already shown signs of distortion and deformation." ”
I said, "This person can't be blind, right?" ”
Zuo Youdao was noncommittal: "It's hard to say." I don't know if this blind man Xu is completely blind, or if he is only blind in one eye, this corpse is not completely blind at the moment, he should have been a one-eyed dragon when he was alive. ”
I estimate that it is impossible for Xu Blind to not see anything at all, otherwise he would not have been able to design and build such a complex mechanism, but looking back, Ke Zongbi of Jisoul Village is obviously also a blind man, but he always seems to be able to see everything, so I can't give a positive or negative answer to the question of whether Xu is blind or not.
It is estimated that Zuo Youdao also thought of Ke Zongbi, so he had what he just said.
If the dry corpse in the sarcophagus is Xu Blind, why is he buried here?
According to Zhou Lianshan, Xu Blind was the last person to enter the underground dark room, at that time the corpse demon had already entered the ground, and there could be no other living people underground, how did Xu Blind put himself into this coffin after death, and how did the coffin lid weighing hundreds of catties be covered?
That's right, Xu Blind may indeed be a wrestler, maybe hundreds of pounds of heavy stones can't stop him, but don't forget, Zuo Youdao also said just now that when he died, his nervous system had been destroyed by mercury, and his spine began to deform, in such a state, Xu Blind couldn't do anything with this coffin lid no matter how strong he was.
Unless he was in the coffin, covered with the lid, and then took mercury before he was suffocated himself.
But Zuo Youdao and I searched in the coffin for a long time, but we didn't find a container for mercury at all.
Weird!
The two of us repeatedly probed the inside of the coffin, but when we found nothing, we could only raise our heads and stare at each other, and we were both stunned for a while.
It was at this moment that an explosion sounded from under our feet not too early or too late.
Syllable......
The source of the sound seemed to be deep underground, so that it sounded very faint, but the two of us could hear it clearly due to the silence around us.
It was a sound similar to electricity hitting metal, for a very brief moment, and then vanished.
At the same time, I vaguely felt a shadow flashing around me.
That shadow, like the explosion, appeared and disappeared suddenly, and it existed for a very short time.
At first, I thought I was hallucinating, but Zuo Youdao also frowned and looked in the direction where the shadow appeared, and I knew that he had just seen the phantom.
I also looked up in the direction of the shadow, recalling it in my head.
Although there was only a very vague impression, I seemed to vaguely see clearly, it was an old man standing in the dark with his waist bent, I didn't see whether it was a man or a woman, but judging from the movement of its bent over and leaning towards the coffin, it was either staring at the sarcophagus, or it was probing its head to observe me and Zuo Youdao.
Zuo Youdao looked around, and his face became a little solemn: "It shouldn't be a ghost." ”
I'm also wondering if what we saw just now is a ghost thing, and since Zuo Youdao said no, it must not be.
Zuo Youdao is born with a heavenly eye, you must know that the heavenly eye is actually commonly known as the yin and yang eye before it is formed, and people who have this kind of eye can see ghosts even if they don't rely on telekinesis, and that kind of vision is the same as how we see things normally.
If there really is a ghost in this tomb, no matter how much it hides itself, Zuo Youdao can see it.
But if it's not a ghost, what is the thing that just appeared around us?
A long silence ensued, and we both held our breath and waited for the shadow to reappear.
I don't know how long it took, but there was still only the sound of me and Zuo Youdao breathing in the tomb, and the explosion in the ground did not appear again, and the shadow did not reappear.
Later, Zuo Youdao said to me: "There must be something else underground." ”
Hearing him say this, I turned my mind to the right path, and it was time to find out if there was a secret passage to the underground nearby.
In fact, since just now, I have been observing the situation in the tomb, the walls of this place seem to be very complete, there is no trace of digging grooves to make mechanisms, the ceiling and the ground are also solid, it seems impossible to have a secret door, but the strange thing is that the wall at the end of the tomb is not built with stone bricks, but directly pasted into the wall with mud, and coated with moisture-proof powder on it.
Because the moisture-proof powder used by Xu Blind looks very similar to the copper salt on bronze, so at the beginning I thought that this wall was made of bronze whole casting, and I knew that I found that the four edges of the wall have different degrees of cracks, and those cracks are extended in a thunderous and lightning posture, which means that Xu Blind made a fierce fire when he baked the mud wall, causing the edge of the wall to crack.
I figured that there might be a special arrangement behind the wall, so I took out my climbing hammer and steel nails and carefully carved small holes in the wall, mainly because I suspected that there might be a mechanism buried in the wall, and if the wall was forcibly removed, it would be dangerous to get it wrong.
After chiseling a few nails in a row, there was no problem, so I magnified my courage a little, and the force of the hammer increased a little.
I didn't expect the first afterburner, the carabiner directly chiseled through the wall, when I smashed down with a few hammers, the nail first pressed into the wall with difficulty, and before half of the nail entered the wall, I felt that there was suddenly no resistance on the hammer head, and the steel nail instantly did not enter the wall, leaving only a nail cap still exposed.
The thickness of this wall is only eight or nine centimeters.
With such a thin wall, it is impossible to place an organ inside.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, why did Xu Blind erect such a mud wall here, such a thin wall, it is really no different from paper, let alone mine, an adult with more strength can be kicked and collapsed.
This tomb seems to me to be extremely strange, and many things cannot be seen with normal eyes.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy I became.
Zuo Youdao saw that the steel nails fell into the wall all of a sudden, and he couldn't help frowning: "Such a thin wall? ”
I was in a state of confusion, and I didn't know how to respond to him, so I smacked my lips and pinched the nail cap as I pulled the steel nail out of the mud wall.
With the ghost's eye, I don't have to go up to the hole to see the other side.
The other side of the wall is also a small burial chamber that is spaced, the area of the tomb is about twenty square meters, and there is also a sarcophagus in the center of the room, but the age of this sarcophagus is obviously much older than the coffin around us, the edges and corners of the coffin have been corroded to a very smooth degree, and a lot of words are engraved on the coffin board on all sides, but due to the erosion is too serious, it is impossible to distinguish what is written on it, but from the last outline left by the text, it seems that they are some very ancient oracle bone inscriptions.
Behind this coffin, there are three wooden coffins, these three coffins should be the products of the Chenghua period, if they were as old as the sarcophagus in the compartment, they would have rotted so much that there was no slag left.
However, even the things in the Chenghua period were quite rotten, and the three coffins looked like they were about to collapse, and the lid of one of the coffins even collapsed into a big opening, and it could be seen that the corpses inside were not only not shriveled, but were severely edema, as if they were inflated.
I told Zuo Youdao about the situation in the compartment, and Zuo Youdao lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment before he said to me: "If I guess correctly, the three coffins should all be corpse coffins, and the person who erected the coffin probably wanted to raise the corpses inside into corpses, but probably because the craftsmanship was not skilled enough, only corpse puppets were raised in the end." ”
The so-called corpse demon is an evil corpse artificially refined with resentment and yin qi as materials, and the corpse puppet is the product of the failure of corpse refining.
However, Zuo Youdao also said that these were just his speculations, because he couldn't sense the corpse qi in the coffin, and he couldn't tell for the time being, whether there was a problem with his perception of the Qi field, or whether the corpse in the coffin was not an evil thing at all.
But these 500-year-old corpses not only did not shrivel and rot, but also swelled like that, obviously the result of a large amount of corpse gas accumulated in the abdomen, saying that they are not evil things, I guess they don't even believe in ghosts.
After that, Zuo Youdao and I summed it up, and we still planned to disassemble the mud wall and take a look in the compartment opposite.
We can't be blamed for hesitation, this tomb is really weird, even a veteran like Zuo Youdao has to be extra cautious.
In the process of demolishing the mud wall, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but for a moment I couldn't tell what was wrong.
It wasn't until I sneezed several times in a row from the dust that the mud wall collapsed that I realized I couldn't tell the smell of mud in the dust.
The family members have the ability to recognize the fragrance and distinguish the ancients, even if they don't smell the antiquities, the sense of smell is slightly more sensitive than ordinary people, but now I seem to have a complete failure of the sense of smell, just mechanical breathing, I can't smell anything, even the musty smell that has been permeating the air before.
At this time, Zuo Youdao also said sullenly: "I can't sense the Qi field anymore." ”
