This can make Wang Ling a little dumbfounded, what the hell is this guy doing? When he walked closer with his waist on his waist, his face turned pale, and there was a small white snake hanging outside the coffin that was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, and what made people feel surprised was that the little snake actually had two heads, although it had been broken by seven inches, the remaining two small heads were still spitting scarlet cores outward, and the upper and lower jaws of Ha Kai were pitch black.

Zheng Jiuwu held the coffin cover and kept trembling in place, it seemed that he had experienced a particularly dangerous situation, Wang Ling didn't know how he knew that there would be a small snake here, if he rashly cut off the cover, wouldn't it be ...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat! You don't have to guess to know that the snake must be extremely poisonous, it turns out that Fang Gang almost brushed shoulders with the Grim Reaper!

Zheng Jiuwu pressed the snake's body with the cover plate and slowly dragged it out, and the moment it was thrown on the deck, it was still writhing, and Lao Zheng wanted to get it farther away, but when he was about to play with the cover, the tongue suddenly turned around and pounced towards his calf. That is, between the lightning and flint, Lao Zheng quickly turned the cover, and the two heads of the little snake bit on the cover plate one after another and kept twisting, as if he wanted to vent all the last bit of strength on this wood. After their bodies were arched at an extremely exaggerated angle, they finally collapsed as if they were deflated......

"It's ......"

"I just heard movement inside," Zheng Jiuwu got up and said after making sure that the snake had indeed lost his breath, "I thought that there might be some doorway here, but I didn't expect it to be such a thing." He picked up the piece of wood and showed it to Wang Ling: "Look at the tooth marks that went down these two mouthfuls, and this little yellow venom on this wood, if you bite it, you will definitely die." ”

"How did this snake get in," Wang Ling looked at the bite mark and was indeed quite fierce, he said: "It stands to reason that this coffin must have been placed under it for hundreds of years, and it has not been eaten or drunk and is not breathable......

"Who knows, I've heard some coffins and sealed graves with poisonous snakes in them, saying it's a burglar prevention technique." He casually threw the nanmu cover on the ground and patted the coffin and said, "Now is the time for us to do serious work, it is said that the master of this coffin can get up and harm people if he encounters the breath of a living person, so I can't breathe into his face later." After that, he pointed to the diaper covering his face and gestured to Wang Ling: "Cover it up, some evil things would rather be believed than not believed." ”

Where does this royal tomb dare to be careless, I can't wait to urinate again now, I'm afraid it's not enough. I saw that Zheng Jiuwu was not careless, and untied a belt from his waist. This strap was originally used as a trouser belt, but it was wrapped around a lot, and the joint was a small claw that bent inward, which was inconspicuous when buckled in it on weekdays. He swung the little claw in his hand a few times, then threw it into the coffin and then pulled it out hard, good fellow, the strap was immediately cracked straight, and began to slowly pull the contents inch by inch and then go out.

Wang Ling saw all this in his eyes, but he had endured too much unbelievability in his heart, and now it can be concluded that this Zheng Jiuwu plan is not an ordinary person. Such a guy is so handy, no matter how you look at him, he is prepared, and Wang Ling is not stupid, this thing has a name called "corpse hook", he has been reading those wild history books at his grandfather's house since he was a child, one of which is dedicated to telling the ancient gold school captain, which is commonly known as tomb robbers. In ancient times, digging people's private graves was to kill their heads, and no one dared to blatantly carry conspicuous things with them, so the tomb robbers kept their things as hidden as possible, including this kind of "corpse hook". On the outside, it is nothing more than a forehead belt tied to the trouser waistband, but in fact, it is made of extremely fine steel wire kneaded into six single-strand steel wires with a hexagonal structure, and then six single strands are combined into one strand, each of which is an independent hexagonal structure. The steel wire of this structure can ensure that it is soft enough and can ensure enough tensile force and stability of the form, and now most of the zippers on the cable bridge are also used in this structure, which can be dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than the ordinary steel cable of the same thickness!

In the past, tomb robbers used this kind of concealed corpse hook to tie around their waists, specifically to probe the corpse in the coffin, which is an extremely rare and precious object, this Zheng Jiuwu has a good skill, and seems to be particularly proficient in all kinds of funeral and dead human things, no matter how you look at him, he is a little like doing that, maybe he has fallen into a trap again, but unknowingly became an accomplice of this person.

He decided to calm down, at least for now, Zheng Jiuwu was still his comrade and comrade-in-arms, and as the rope was pulled out faster and faster, he slowly pulled out a long strip of intact red brocade wrapped in it, without thinking that there must be a dead body wrapped in it. Usually the corpse will be covered with a layer of cover after entering the museum, but this silk also looks like it has just been buried, and it seems that the embalming of this Nanmu coffin is indeed first-class.

The silk that came out was straight and not bent, so when it reached the position of the foot, Zheng Jiuwu had to raise his arm to maintain its balance, and then glanced at Wang Ling. The latter comprehended that he picked up the kerosene lamp and planned to go over to investigate, but he saw that the silk was very tightly wrapped, and he could only see that there was a black silk hat on the top of his head, and his whole body was wrapped like a big rice dumpling, and layer after layer of ink fountain thread wrapped the quilt tightly.

He wanted to pick up a bayonet, but was stopped by Zheng Jiuwu and said, "I'd better come." With that, he carefully wrapped the corpse head-down on the ground, withdrew the hook, and then took the kerosene lamp and squatted in front of it to explore carefully.

The ancients believed that the ink fountain was invented by Lu Ban, and the ink fountain measured the righteousness of heaven and earth, and there was no deviation. Ink fountain line with chicken blood or dog blood is a kind of magic weapon that can be regarded as warding off evil spirits, it was very popular after the Song Dynasty, and it is recorded in the classics that the Buddha Yin once said to Su Shi: "I have two rooms, one is rented and the wheel king; Sometimes a line is released, and the demons in the world dare not stop it! This is very clear in the "Daomen Zangjing", so he reminded: "This corpse's body is hard, like a wooden plank. ”

Zheng Jiuwu pointed to the diaper on his mouth and motioned for Wang Ling not to say much, he held his breath with a bayonet in his backhand and gently pulled along the ink bucket line, and the wrapped quilt was instantly loosened a little. Then a sudden change happened under their noses, the moment they untied the ink fountain line, the original gorgeous and bright quilt instantly began to turn black, like a fast-forward shot of flowers withering, and in the blink of an eye, the quilt became a mess of cotton wool.

Seeing this, Wang Ling was shocked, does this mean that there is vitality to intervene to cause the quilt to oxidize, and anger will make the corpses inside ...... Thinking about the events in those accounts, he couldn't help but start worrying about his fate.

But Zheng Jiuwu had no intention of giving up, he continued to stir up the mess of cotton wool, when the layers of silk fabric were picked up, the inside gradually revealed its true face, when a piece of lotus root seemed to be white when it was revealed, he himself actually stopped first, and then looked at Wang Ling and said: "Guilty." ”

"What?" Wang Ling is far away at this time, how clearly can the kerosene lamp shine? Zheng Jiuwu said again: "It's a pair of children buried here!" ”

Wang Ling also aroused the doubts in his heart when he listened, and boldly moved two steps forward, and when the Zheng Jiuwu quilt was fully opened, he saw a pair of men and women inside, who looked to be only four or five years old, their skin was extremely soft, the eyelashes above the eyelids were slightly upturned, their round faces were smeared with red halos, and they were wearing a hat on their heads, but for some reason their bodies were naked. If it weren't for the fact that these two children had many yellow-brown spots on their skin, they would have thought they were just asleep.

This pair of boys also dragged a beautifully made box with golden light in their hands, the two of them held each other in their palms, their facial expressions were lifelike, presumably there must be some valuable items in this box, but Zheng Jiuwu stopped and was not in a hurry to take it.

"It's so cruel," said Wang Ling, "this kind of burial can only be found in barbaric times, and boys and girls usually take mercury orally when they are alive, and they also dig holes on the top of their heads, backs, and soles of their feet, and pour mercury into them, and then wipe them all over their bodies with mercury powder after death, just like making them into specimens, and after ten thousand years, their skin and flesh do not rot." Therefore, it is necessary to use the living, and the blood of the dead cannot be poured into it, all of which are used for burial, and no tomb owner can bear such pain alive. ”

The ancients believed that a dead person was the same as being alive. If you are alive and you are in a noble position, you will still be in that position when you die. The powerful families used the children of the poor families for burial. Boys and girls are servants and servants who go to another world to continue to serve the owner of the tomb.

Burial of the living was a very cruel system in slave societies. Some of the martyrs were buried alive, and some were buried with them after being killed or committing suicide. China's funeral system, as far as archaeological discoveries are concerned, first began in the Yin Shang period. With the rebellion of the people and the progress of society, from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, this cruel system was basically abolished.
