Chapter 96: Coffin

Soon, we had come to the first cave; Under the light of the flashlight, the scene in the cave can be seen at a glance. The pen "Fun" Pavilion may be www.biquge.info because of the excavation against the mountain wall, and the scene here is very simple. There is only one coffin about six inches thick in the cave; The coffin was painted black with ink, and a big word "Shou" was written on the side facing us.

According to my guess, the burial here should belong to the officials who accompanied the burial of the dynasty; Because the coffin system of the Tang Dynasty is very clearly stipulated, the coffin of the Son of Heaven is fourfold, and the coffin of the person is called the coffin, which is covered with a turtle and buffalo skin; the second weighs the ground also, made of basswood; The third is called the genus, and the fourth is called the coffin.

The emperor and queen have two coffins outside the coffin, and more catalpa wood is used, so its coffin is also called "Zi Palace". Shanggong, Hou Bozinan, and Doctor, with equal differences, are threefold, with cowhide, two, and one. The stone is not heavy, but with a large coffin. In addition, the coffin of the Son of Heaven is eight inches thick, the coffin of the doctor is six inches thick, and the coffin of the common man is only allowed to be four inches thick, and there is no coffin. Later emperors, nobles, and scholars basically followed this system, but there were also those who exceeded the system.

It's just that at this time, my attention is not on the coffin; Throughout, despite the terrible pain in my feet, I let go of all my senses and watched out for every corner of the tomb. Maybe my suspicions were too high, but nothing strange happened during this time.

Lin Zi and Hu Qi carefully investigated the tomb, and after finding no possible crisis, they immediately returned to the side of the coffin Chun and prepared to open the coffin; And I couldn't help because of my physical injuries, so I had to stand on the side and protect them with Wei Chong in my arms.

At this moment, standing from the perspective of a bystander, watching Lin Zi and Hu Qili clearly open the coffin, I suddenly felt like laughing for no reason! I don't know that once upon a time, when I was young and frivolous, I felt deeply disgusted by the name of tomb robbers, which was spurned by thousands of people.

My "crutch" had been used as a makeshift tool to open the coffin, so I had to sit down against the wall; However, when I sat down, I felt a gentle breeze blowing behind me.

I then shifted my gaze to the walls of the cave and saw that the walls of the cave were densely covered with small holes. These small holes appear to have been corroded by strong sulfuric acid, and are not artificially excavated.

"Do these little holes lead somewhere else?"

The cool breeze was still blowing on my back, and this thought suddenly popped into my mind. It stands to reason that if these little holes don't lead to somewhere else, then there shouldn't be wind pouring into them.

"Bang dang", I don't know the appropriateness, Lin Zi and Hu Qi have already opened the coffin; The coffin lid fell to the ground and made a deafening sound, perhaps because I couldn't help, or because the sound of the coffin lid falling disturbed my heart and made my heart feel inexplicably irritable.

However, the sound of a large gasp of air from the woods immediately caught my attention; I saw his eyes staring at the coffin without blinking, and it was obvious that he was blinded, as if to send me a signal that "this trip is worthwhile".

Sure enough, the next moment, the two of them made a move; It was as if two hungry wolves had finally seen food after a long time, and they scrambled to stuff everything in the coffin into their backpacks. Among the dazzling eyes, there seem to be a lot of funeral items such as gold and silver jewelry, jade bracelet jewelry, etc.

Itching, I limped over to them, only to find that we were only opening a coffin at this time, because there was an identical coffin inside. Generally speaking, a double coffin like this is difficult to recognize, because it is comparable in size to a normal coffin, and then it will be mistaken for just a coffin.

These gold and silver ornaments were placed in the mezzanine between the coffin and the coffin, and filled every crevice; No wonder Lin Zi revealed that statue of Brother Pig, at first glance when he saw so much gold, silver and jewelry, no one could hide the ecstasy in his heart, right?

It took about five minutes before the burial goods in the coffin were swept away by Lin Zi and Hu Qi; I saw that they had already begun to open the coffin, and this floor was where the owner of the tomb really slumbered.

To be on the safe side, Lin Zi had already taken out the soft corpse incense and the corpse rope that he had brought earlier; The soft corpse incense is the same as the incense we usually see, except that the color is dark green. Although I haven't seen how to use it, Lin Zi has explained to me how to use it.

Soft corpse incense is used to soften the corpse, because the corpse will stiffen after death, because when the person's heart stops beating, the compressor responsible for transporting blood in the body stops functioning, and the blood gradually coagulates, causing the stiffness of the corpse. The contraction of the heart maintains the overall movement of the human body, and the cessation of this movement leads to the complete cessation of 70% of the body's water flow.

And when the corpse stiffens, it will cause some of the things carried on the corpse to be unable to be removed! Then there will be soft corpse incense, which can soften the stiff corpse in a very short time after being lit, so as to facilitate tomb robbers to carry out various operations on the corpse, such as stripping off the treasure clothes and armor they wear on their bodies, etc., which is a necessary prop for almost every tomb robber.

Looking at the situation, Lin Zi has a thought in his heart! I couldn't help but sigh in my heart for Lin Zi's shameless behavior.

The function of the corpse rope is to cooperate with the soft corpse incense, and the specific usage is to put one end of the corpse rope on one's chest, and the other end is made into a rope sleeve to tie the neck of the corpse; This practice is to make the corpse stand up, and you can also free your hands to take off the clothes on the corpse, because the tomb robbers generally ride on the corpse, after the corpse stands up, it is a piece shorter than the captain of the touching gold, so the rope of the corpse is wrapped around the chest, and the other end is wrapped around the neck of the corpse, so as to maintain the level.

The coffin in the coffin did not seem to be easy to open, and I saw that Lin Zi and Hu Qi wasted a lot of effort to pull out the first wedge in the corner of the coffin; At this time, there seemed to be no other sound in the huge tomb except for the sound of the two of them tinkling and closing. I've been wondering if the lantern in the tomb outside the cave was lit by man or was it burning in the first place. It's just that, after thinking about it for a while, I didn't think of any possible outcome!

After about half an hour, Lin Zi and Hu Qi wasted all their strength, and after using all the strength to eat, they were embarrassed to open the coffin lid. There was a loud bang in the open space where the lid of the coffin was tossed aside, followed by a rapidly spreading putrid smell and a rustling sound in the burial chamber......
