I saw that the fat man hooked the neck of the ancient corpse with the "corpse rope", rounded his arm and slapped the ancient corpse five loud slaps, I quickly stopped him, and when he heard him say something strange, he continued to ask: "Did you eat too much, what did you do to kill someone?" But then I thought that the fat man had been hit by the "tongue drop" before, but he still hadn't completely cleared it, and what was left, thinking that the owner of the "witch clothes" was also killed by the king of sacrifice, did she turn into a ghost and attached to the fat man, just to sneak into the underworld, learn from Wu Zixu's behavior back then, and whip the corpse to vent the hatred in her heart?

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his hand to remove the fat man's gas mask, looking at his eyes, there was nothing special, but at this time, he heard the fat man say: "It's damp here, why do you have a gas mask?" As he spoke, he snatched it back, put it on his face again, and continued: "I said Commander Hu, Chief of Staff Yang, didn't you see it? Look at this ......."

The fat man pointed to the head of the ancient corpse in the coffin, and just halfway through the words, he saw the head of the eyeless ancient corpse, and suddenly shook it three times on the corpse, shook it three times, only to hear the sound of "pop", it actually fell, and just fell to the edge of the "stone spirit ghost coffin", the stone spirit was as smooth as ice, and after a short stay, it rolled to the ground of the wooden coffin.

The three of them were shocked, the ghost coffin made of this stone spirit was very tightly sealed, and it was an extraordinary coffin, the "stone spirit" with extremely heavy yin qi, although it was regarded as an ominous thing, but its unique cool attributes, it could preserve the original appearance of the corpse extremely well, when the coffin was opened, the ancient corpse was like a life, the muscles had not atrophied and collapsed, and most of the water in the corpse was also locked in it, without any signs of decay and dryness, why is this head so not strong, although the fat man slapped him fiercely, it was impossible to knock his head off?

The fat man was also very surprised, and immediately picked up the head that had fallen to the ground. I saw that the skin of the head was gradually darkening, which should be due to the humid air environment in the "wooden coffin", which had a sharp oxidation effect on the ancient corpses that had been placed in a closed environment for a long time.

The fat man said, "Why are you so unbeaten?" Even if you pull it down, you shouldn't be able to pull it off? ”

Shirley Yang took the head of the ancient corpse from the fat man's hand: "Then I'll take a look." Then he asked the fat man, "What did you want to say just now?" What didn't we come out with? ”

The fat man said to Shirley Young, "Oh, that...... I said, don't you see what I'm doing? According to the blind fortune teller, when they were fighting backwards, when they encountered a fresh corpse, they would wrap it around it with a rope and slap it in the mouth. If you don't do this, the corpse's clothes, as well as the coffin, will not be able to take out, when he said this, we were eating together, you should have heard, I wanted you to see, this zongzi's head, like a living person, should have smoked it first, who would have thought that it was like paper paste, a light touch and fell off. ”

I nodded and said, "So you are talking about this, the fortune teller and the blind man said so, but that is the means of those of them, and that is to give themselves courage and suppress the dead corpses, as for not slapping the dead, and subduing the Ming Instrument Hong, the Ming Instrument is smashed and the Ming Weapon is pounded, and the Yun Xie is playing tricks, and the Bad Men are apologizing, and they are > to be discouraged

The fat man wanted to argue, but he heard Shirley Yang holding the head of the ancient corpse and saying, "Don't argue, come and see this human head...... and put the head on the lid of the coffin for us to watch.

I looked at it twice, and the head of the ancient corpse was darker than before in this short period of time, which looked extremely terrifying, especially when the eyes were deeply sunken, it looked like a pitch-black skull, and the edge of the eye socket had a spiral of crimson blood, because this head was constantly turning black and dry, I only looked at it, and those traces were gone.

The corpses in the coffins of the ancient tombs, I haven't seen much, and there are only the tombs of the golden people in the black wind mouth, the jade coffins in the jungle at the entrance of the Worm Valley, and there are corpses soaked in blood, I saw the head of this ancient corpse, except that the eyes were gouged out, I couldn't see anything special, and asked Shirley Yang: "Look at the ancient corpse, I'm not good, do you think it's possible, it's the head of the king?" ”

Shirley Yang said: "It is difficult to determine whether it is to sacrifice the king, you also saw just now, the eye frame of the head, there are traces of being tortured by Heiwan, there is a kind of torture instrument in ancient times, the shape is like a wine glass, there are rotating knife teeth inside, put it at the human eye and turn it, you can tear out the eyeball human martial arts alive." ”

I nodded at the same time as the fat man, two years ago in Beijing I saw an exhibition of ancient Tibetan customs, in which there is a bowl that gouges out the eyes of a living person, but those cultural relics are Tibetan, it turns out that the mainland also has the same torture tools in ancient times, but why was this ancient corpse ripped off before his death? Why is it contained in a "ghost coffin" with a heavy yin atmosphere? There will never be anyone other than a member of the royal family buried in the royal tomb, so who is this ancient corpse?

In addition, I also found that under the head of this ancient corpse, there are traces of being cut by a sharp weapon, but it does not seem to be beheaded, but it was cut off after death. Could it be that the ancient Dian country had this custom of cutting off the head after death and then reconnecting it?

I suddenly thought of a possibility, but for the time being, I can't assert it, I must first look at the corpse in the "ghost coffin" to further confirm, so we gathered in front of the coffin, I asked the fat man to hold a flashlight to illuminate, by me and Shirley Yang hands, with a paratrooper knife to cut the layers of white brocade wrapped around the corpse, the king of the Han Dynasty had the custom of jade clothes (also known as jade boxes), with cool and moist jade embalming, and this ancient corpse is tightly wrapped in white brocade, but the head is exposed, which is very outrageous.

The white brocade also began to be eroded by the damp mildew, and the more I went inside, the harder it became to peel off, and in the sweltering gas mask, the tip of my nose was sweating, and finally with the help of Shirley Yang, I finally completely peeled off the layers of shrouds.

When peeling off the several layers of white brocade, I had already noticed that the feeling was different, but when I saw the situation inside, the beam of the flashlight shone into the coffin, reflecting countless golden light to the smooth surface of the stone spirit, and the dazzling golden light hooked people's souls, and my heart was quite surprised, how could this be?

In the white brocade of the shroud, there is a golden skeleton, in addition to the spine and waist crotch, there are still a few human bones, the rest of the parts, are made up with gold, without a trace of flesh and skin, this half-bone and half-gold cavity frame, it seems that due to the high degree of decay of the bones, almost all turned into earth and air, and was artificially sorted out again to create a set of golden bones.

This golden bone is in stark contrast to the head that was knocked off by the fat man, a body that is about to rot and needs to be filled with gold, why is the human head not rotten at all? It is absolutely unreasonable to say that because we dismantled the white brocade of the shroud, the body was quickly dissected and disappeared into the air in an instant.

Shirley Yang said to me: "Old Hu, you see that there is a jade hoop on the neck of this yellow bone, which is used to connect the head. ”

The fat man immediately said: "Chief of Staff Yang or you are reasonable, if it weren't for the commander's hand just right, it would not be so easy to discover the secret of this ancient corpse, the golden bones of this body, where can mortals afford it, I think this is the old thing of the king." ”

Shirley Yang didn't know how to say no, just pointed to the golden skeleton and said, "There are a few ribs missing on the left side, it seems that they were deliberately not filled......"

I saw that I already had a clue here, so I said to Shirley Yang: "This is obvious, this is to maintain the appearance of the bones being punished by the heart before death, it seems that the ancient corpse in the ghost coffin is a corpse made of the coffin owner of the three coffins in the tomb, we have already thought before, three sets of special-shaped coffins in different periods, sealed with three great nobles who were executed, although they were executed, they were still given the same burial system as their previous status, they were all identified as the previous life of the king, indicating that he had gone through three prisons, It is the shadow bone that he left in the underworld before he became an immortal. ”

Since ancient times, "Confucius has benevolence, Lao Tzu has Taoism", Taoism specializes in alchemy and qi, in order to prove that the Tao becomes an immortal, and gets rid of the suffering of mortals' birth, old age, sickness and death, but immortality is naturally not something that can be obtained by waiting for leisure, if you want to be reborn, it is not as simple as peeling off the skin, you must go through several major disasters, and these disasters are not forced, so some people in the Taoist Gate will find the bones of their previous three lives as a substitute, and bury them in the yin cave as a shadow bone, so as to show heaven and earth that they have gone through three prisons, enough to be reborn, In this way, there is hope for this biochemical immortal.

It seems that this is what the king did, and the "wooden coffin" under the tomb of the underworld represents the underworld, where the part of the three corpses tortured is pieced together into a complete stand-in here, and the three corpses, because they are considered to be the first three lives of the king, are no different from him, and they are also placed in the main tomb.

Shirley Yang thought about the same as I thought, and said to me: "Maybe the meaning symbolized by each layer of this tomb is also different, the middle layer represents the human world, the wooden coffin below represents the void of the netherworld, and there should be another layer of tomb above the tomb, representing the fairy mountain, and the real bones of the king lie on the fairy mountain." ”

I said to Shirley Yang and the fat man: "What we just said is just an assumption, or should we further confirm, to such a immortal immortal immortal king's tomb, few people have seen it, it seems that there are mysteries everywhere, it is better to find out if there are other things with information value in the coffin first, now that the head and body have been read, the stone spirit can keep the corpse immortal for thousands of years, so the state of the bones should be the same as the original appearance in the coffin, I think the head is so well preserved, It must have come from the best eight-inch coffin, in the middle of the section, the bones were almost rotten, so they had to be mended with gold, most of them were the remains of the sarcophagus, and the lacquer outside the sarcophagus was sealed later. ”

The fat man said: "This patchwork stand-in corpse, only the legs are left, we haven't seen it yet, and it may be some valuable license." ”

I think that's unlikely, the legs are from the huge bronze coffin, the two prisons in front are "gouging out the eyes" and "digging out the heart", then the third prison must be the most terrible "soul snatching", so the master in the bronze coffin will be so vicious, I peeled off the white brocade wrapped in the bones and legs, and asked Shirley Yang and the fat man: "Do you know what is soul snatching?" ”

Shirley Yang said: "It seems that in the Shang Tang period, there was a kind of witch punishment that could drain the soul of the living, and the remaining body became a walking corpse that was neither alive nor dead, but how it was done is not recorded in history, and it is still a mystery. Is that mysterious witchcraft a soul-snatching? ”

While dismantling the white brocade of the shroud, I briefly told Shirley Yang a thing that happened not long ago, the witch punishment of "soul snatching" did not become extinct until the Warring States Period, once in the Panjiayuan antique market, a few things suddenly appeared, it was an old farmer in Anyang, Henan, he took more than 100 strange-shaped bone tools to find a home, those things are a bit like "bone needles", but thicker and longer, the middle is hollow, all packed in an ancient clay pot full of ancient characters.
