Chapter 286: Mercury Corpse

"Brother Tian! You're thinking too complicated! This Broken Dragon Stone is actually like this......"

Lin Zi patted the dust on his body, and then lit a candle at the original location of the stone beam, and saw that the candle was extinguished in a flash, and knew that the air inside was not enough, so he simply told me and Hu Yifei about the Broken Dragon Stone!

According to Lin Zi, the broken dragon stone is indeed a common means in the tombs of princes and nobles in ancient times; But it's not like you can't get in and out again after it's sealed! Because the funeral system prevailed at that time, from concubines and palace maids to civilian laborers, all those who were related to the deceased could not escape the fate of being buried!

Therefore, in the later period, in order to survive, some laborers who built the mausoleum began to make an idea on the broken dragon stone, and this idea is also very simple:

Under normal circumstances, the broken dragon stone is from the left and right of the entrance of the mausoleum and below to chisel a gap large enough to accommodate the width of the broken dragon stone. Then take local materials directly above the tomb door, chisel out the prototype of the broken dragon stone, and wait until everything in the tomb is arranged, there will be special people, first from the outside of the tomb to chisel one side of the broken dragon stone, and then to the inside, the other side of the broken dragon stone is hollowed out; In this way, a whole piece of broken dragon stone was carved out of the rock directly above the wooden door.

When it is time to close the tomb door, the upper part of the broken dragon stone is chiseled open to connect with the rock, and the broken dragon stone will fall down heavily along the gap that has been dug up, and the wooden door will be firmly sealed. And at this time, it is time for the workers to cut corners!

Because when digging both sides of the broken dragon stone before, the laborers must leave a big gap on both sides of the broken dragon stone! According to strict practice, they had to use glutinous rice and a binder to seal the gravel step by step from the outside of the tomb door to the tomb door???. At this time, there will be special officers and soldiers outside the cemetery to supervise the work, and the officers and soldiers will not withdraw until the workers have completely sealed the door.

The so-called wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and what those officers and soldiers don't know is that the laborers have already done something on the stone beam; When they sealed the broken dragon stone, they actually only used sticky glutinous rice on the outer stone beams, and used adhesive made from other rice on the inner side. In this way, it is easy to confuse the officers and soldiers who oversee the work.

After the officers and soldiers have withdrawn, the laborers will loot the gold, silver and jewelry in the tomb, plunder the burial goods, and then reopen the stone beams on the broken dragon stone to escape! Moreover, in order to avoid being discovered afterwards, the laborers would reseal the tomb door after they escaped; Also because of the eagerness to escape, when the Broken Dragon Stone is resealed, they will only make a hidden stone beam on the outside of the Broken Dragon Stone! That's why after Lin Zi pried down the stone beam, the inside of the broken dragon stone was empty!

After telling the secret about the Broken Dragon Stone, Lin Zi re-lit the candle and placed it on top of the Broken Dragon Stone; Fortunately, this time the candle was not extinguished, indicating that there was enough oxygen behind the door.

But when I saw the candles in the forest, I suddenly remembered a more important question, since there was no oxygen in the tomb, how could Gao Jing be inside? And the Broken Dragon Stone was sealed just now, so it means that the Peach Tree Spirit or the Old Ancestor shouldn't be in it, right?

Lin Zi obviously didn't think of this either, but after hearing me say what he thought, he laughed wryly...... After a moment of negligence, we don't know if we should go back and find the next fork in the road? Or is it time to go into this tomb in front of you?

But reality often doesn't leave us time to think too much! We thought that if there was no oxygen in the tomb, there would be no living creatures, but not long after I finished talking to Lin Zi, a sound began to come from the tomb, and it seemed that something was crawling out of the tomb!

"What's that?"

Obviously, after a second of looking at each other, all three of us saw a look of shock in each other's eyes; Hurriedly cooperated with the tacit understanding and took a few steps back, opened a distance from the broken dragon stone, and firmly placed his eyes on the gap after the stone beam fell.

"I'm grass, how can anyone crawl out of it?"

As the sound became louder and louder, the owner of the voice really appeared at the gap of the Broken Dragon Stone, and Lin Zi saw a human hand sticking out from the inside of the Broken Dragon Stone at a glance, and suddenly screamed in surprise.

But the next scene tells us that it is not a human being, or a living person, who crawls out, because soon their bodies are trembling and squirming and crawling out of the gap.

Under the bright light of the flashlight, I could see clearly what was still wriggling in the gap. It was actually a dead man with a gray face, and there was a lot of hair on the top of its head, judging from the length of the hair, it should not be a modern person, and it was probably the palace maid and eunuch who were buried for the tomb owner.

At this point, some people may ask, why did they appear here instead of fleeing with the laborers in the first place? All I can tell you is that, under normal circumstances, with the exception of some laborers who need to finish the work, all the other people who are buried will be killed before the tomb door is closed; Therefore, it is naturally impossible for them to follow the laborers who fled later.

Returning to the eyes of him, the dead man wriggling in the gap said that his face was gray, but his skin was still intact enough; I don't know if it was because Lin Zi accidentally opened the seal of the Broken Dragon Stone and put in oxygen, so that they who had been lying quietly in the tomb for hundreds of thousands of years came back to life? Of course, the coming alive mentioned here is not really coming alive! Rather, did their corpses have undergone a corpse transformation due to exposure to oxygen?

"Zhang Tian, what is this?"

Hu Yifei probably hadn't seen such an existence in front of him, and after carefully looking at the corpse that was squirming out, he asked me.

"I think they must have been poured mercury before they died! Do you take a closer look at the top of that person's head to see if there is a big hole in it? But if mercury has been poured, how can a corpse be transformed? ”

Hu Yifei looked in the direction I pointed, and indeed saw a hole in the skull of the corpse, and nodded to me with a catch; Although he was asking me questions, the second half of the sentence that came out of my mouth seemed to be me asking him questions, which made Hu Yifei a little speechless for a while.
