Chapter 329: Beads in the Mouth

This is the first time I have encountered such a situation, and anyone who knows a little about ancient tombs knows that the pillows prepared for the deceased are placed under the skull of the corpse, and there has never been such a thing as this.

"Zhang Sansan, is there anything wrong?" Perhaps noticing that my expression was a little strange, Dong Shan asked curiously.

"Well, have you noticed that the position of this jade pillow is actually on the corpse." I nodded.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Dong Shan asked again.

"Of course not, it stands to reason that this kind of thing should be placed under the corpse." I said.

"Maybe it's just the shape of a pillow, but it's not actually a pillow, or maybe the person who pretended to be a corpse was stealing and didn't put the jade pillow under the corpse." Dong Shan guessed.

"That's the only way to explain it, maybe it's just like what you say." I said. Having said that, the doubts in my heart have not been reduced by this, and I am still secretly wondering what the reason for the jade pillow placed on the corpse.

I still know very little about the things in the tombs, except for what the teacher talked about in class, the rest are from the archaeological codex that Li Huiyan gave me.

Although Li Huiyan's grandfather Li Dingguo's archaeological codex recorded a lot of things, there are still gaps after all, not to mention that there are countless unsolved mysteries in history, even Li Dingguo does not dare to guarantee that he knows them all.

Dong Dan and I did not continue to stay on the coffin, and after discussing a few words, we jumped off the coffin one after another.

I don't know what's in the coffin, the stench inside is really unbearable, and if you continue to stay on it, you will probably be smoked to death by the stench.

"Zhang San, what is in the coffin, how can there be such a big smell." After jumping off the coffin, Li Huiyan asked me.

At this time, the stench inside the coffin had spread to the entire tomb, and even Li Huiyan and the others were a little unbearable, and Dong Shuang even squatted aside and retched.

"Maybe it's the stench on the corpse, we only saw a dragon-patterned jade pillow in the coffin, and we didn't have time to look at other things." I replied.

"Dragon-patterned jade pillow? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Li Huiyan asked.

"How can you be mistaken, it is indeed a dragon pattern jade pillow, and it is also very exquisite." I said.

If I can't even see a dragon-patterned jade pillow clearly, then I'm really blind. Because this ancient tomb has not been visited by any tomb robbers, the dragon pattern jade pillow is also very well preserved, except that the color of the jade looks slightly dark and not bright enough, it is almost like new.

"If it's really a dragon-patterned jade pillow, it's a little strange." Li Huiyan lowered her head and thought about it, and said.

"What's so strange?" I was puzzled.

"Of course it's weird, but don't forget who the owner of the tomb is. In ancient times, the dragon symbolized the emperor, not to mention that a burial companion was not qualified to use something with a dragon pattern to accompany the burial, and even the tomb owner himself was not qualified. Li Huiyan said.

"I've ignored it, and it's strange to hear you say that." I nodded.

In ancient times, the emperor was the true dragon emperor, and in the same way, only the emperor was qualified to use things with dragon patterns, except for certain people who had been authorized by the emperor.

Even if the owner of this ancient tomb, Chen Huaiwang Liu Zhu, had obtained the emperor's permission, the coffin in front of us was only prepared for the burial, not the tomb owner himself, and he was not eligible for this kind of treatment at all.

"In fact, there were not a few ambitious people in ancient times, although they did not dare to rebel and be the emperor on the surface, but secretly they would do these things that violated the unorthodox. Anyway, the emperor is far away, as long as these things are not spread. Li Huiyan said again.

"By the way, I almost forgot to mention that we just discovered something even stranger." When it came to the dragon pattern jade pillow, I remembered the doubts in my heart again, and I couldn't help but say.

"What's even stranger?" When Li Huiyan heard this, she immediately became interested and said, "Come and listen." ”

"Actually, this matter is still related to the dragon pattern jade pillow, that is, after we opened the coffin lid, we found that the dragon pattern jade pillow was placed on the corpse." I said.

"Are you sure the jade pillow is placed on top of the corpse? Could it be that you are mistaken? Li Huiyan asked.

"How can this be wrong, if you don't believe it, you can ask Dong Dan." I said.

"That jade pillow was indeed placed on top of the corpse, and we saw it at a glance when we opened the lid of the coffin." Hearing this, Dong Shan said.

"If that's the case, it's a little strange, I haven't heard of it." Hearing Dong Dan's affirmative answer, Li Huiyan couldn't help but become puzzled, and only after a while did she continue: "Could it be that this dragon pattern jade pillow is actually not used to be placed under the corpse, but has other uses, just like the seal of King Chen and the soul suppression beast we saw before." ”

"You mean that the dragon pattern jade pillow is actually the same as King Chen's seal and the soul suppression beast, which are used to suppress the corpse, so there is no problem with it being placed on the corpse?" I said.

"So far, only this explanation can make sense, could it be that you have other ideas?" Li Huiyan said.

"I don't have any other ideas, in fact, I didn't understand why this dragon pattern jade pillow was placed on the corpse from the beginning, and it is indeed possible to hear you say this." I shook my head and said.

Although the dragon is a fictional creature of the ancients, because of its sacredness, it is indeed possible that it was used by the owner of the tomb to suppress the corpse.

It's just that I feel a little puzzled, the relationship between the owner of the tomb on the mural and those burial companions is not bad, why these burial companions are targeted everywhere after death.

First the bronze mirror, and then the seal of King Chen, the soul beast and the merit tablet, you can see that the owner of the tomb is afraid of the burial people, and even after death, he chooses to suppress them in the coffin.

"Rice cake, have you seen the golden jade clothes?" Xiao Yue asked expectantly on the side.

"No, I only see ordinary clothes, and the kind of golden jade clothes are not cabbages on the side of the road, how can there be so many, it's already very good to see two pieces in the ancient tomb." I said.

"Cut, I don't even have a golden jade robe, and I still say what kind of princes and kings are." Xiao Yue pursed her lips and said very dissatisfied.

"You can be content, the things in this ancient tomb are beyond imagination, even in ordinary places." I said.

I didn't say this to comfort Xiao Yue, because the luxury of this ancient tomb has indeed surpassed that of ordinary imperial tombs.

It is already very good to see a golden jade robe in the general imperial tomb, and the golden silk nan wooden coffin is already the highest level thing in the emperor's tomb.

But what we see in this ancient tomb, whether it is the golden jade clothes or the golden silk nan coffin, they are only for the burial people, and even the preciousness of the ghost-faced white jade coffin and the colorful glazed coffin are far more than the golden silk nan coffin.

Hearing this, Xiao Yue was still unmoved, pouting with an unhappy expression. I didn't pay attention to her anymore, at this time, it had been nearly ten minutes or so since Dong Dan and I jumped off the coffin, presumably the smell inside the coffin had almost dispersed, and I was going to climb up to the coffin again to see if there was anything else inside.

After a while, Dong Dan and I climbed onto the coffin again, looking at the corpse wrapped in layers of clothes in the coffin, we always felt that there was something else hidden under the clothes.

With this in mind, I cautiously descended into the coffin. The corpse placed under the jade pillow is naturally the corpse, but at this time, the corpse is wrapped in layers of clothes, and there is no way to see the specific appearance.

After more than a thousand years, if there were no special circumstances, the corpse would have already become a skeleton, and there was not even a skeleton left in the body.

As soon as I arrived in the coffin, before I could reach out to move the clothes, I suddenly saw that the chest of the corpse seemed to move.

The sudden movement of the corpse's chest startled me, and it could be that the corpse in the coffin had also been specially treated, and it was as well preserved as the ones we had seen before.

I had to be more cautious, if the corpse inside the coffin was really well preserved, then there was a possibility that the corpse would change after coming into contact with the yang energy of us living people, so I made up my mind not to touch the dragon pattern jade pillow on the corpse anyway.

"Dong Dan, then stand on it and don't come down, in case you encounter any danger, you can still pull me." Seeing that Dong Dan was also about to jump into the coffin, I hurriedly said.

Although there is no danger in this coffin, for the sake of insurance, it is still necessary to keep some back, so as not to have time to react when you really encounter danger.

After more than a thousand years, the clothes attached to the corpse have long since decayed, and when I stretched out my hand and touched it lightly, the clothes were immediately shattered, and there was no need to use any strength at all.

Even after nearly ten minutes, the strange smell inside the coffin was still unbearable, and I could only endure the smell to check the contents of the coffin.

I pressed my hand on the clothes, and there was something soft underneath, and it seemed that most of the corpse inside the coffin had not yet decomposed.

In fact, when I smelled the strange smell inside the coffin, I already had such a guess.

After all, how can there be such a smell in a good coffin, even if it is a corpse smell, it will not exist after more than a thousand years, most likely because the tomb owner used some special antiseptic drugs in the coffin in order to preserve the body of the burial person.

After a while, the clothes that covered the corpse had been completely cleaned up, and I was stunned when I saw the corpse.

The face of the corpse in the coffin was twice as large as that of ordinary people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a giant face.
