Chapter 56: Jade Clothes
When the corpse deflated, there was still a fishy smell, we just covered our mouths and noses and did not speak, Abu was glad that the master took the wooden box just now, and said: "Fortunately, the master saved my life, otherwise my life would be gone!" ”
"Do you still know Master Xie, didn't you insist on opening this box just now?" The second uncle sarcastically preached Asermon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's okay, it's okay, the master knows the mystery of this wooden box, but how did this corpse deflat?" Abu asked, looking at the deflated male corpse.
"I think this is the ancient embalming effect, and a few arrows will be deflated." The second uncle replied.
After a while, we saw that the corpse was only left with human skin, and it looked extremely horrible, and the most terrible thing was that the corpse's eyes were still like those of a living person, and the jewels were still caught in the human skin.
But we don't care about the corpse, only Abu is still walking around next to the coffin, as if there is some treasure in the coffin, I'm afraid he has forgotten about the curse he has been cursed for, and we are all looking at the wooden box in the master's hand, that thing is what the master said has something to do with the dust beads. But we didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
"Master, what's in that wooden box?" I asked.
"Keys!" The master replied lightly.
"Huh? Key? What will be the relationship between the key and the dust bead? The crow was puzzled, and the crow was still supporting Wang Dashan on the side, Wang Dashan's face was also relieved after resting for a while, but he still looked sluggish, after all, he lost a hand, and Li Sanyuan's death hit him hard, these were the biggest damage to him.
The master didn't reply to the crow's words, but silently took out the so-called if from the wooden box, and then handed it to me, saying, "Ji Ming, you put it away first!" Collect it! ”
I listened to the master's serious tone, so I had to quickly agree: "Okay! Then he took the key and put it in his breast pocket, if it was an ancient copper key, the length was short, it was like the key between the copper locks hanging on the door, and I didn't worry about falling off it when I put it on my chest, because the key was pinned directly to my chest.
"But what does this key have to do with the activation of the dust bead?" The old lady asked again.
"Go down and you'll have the answer, and it might open the key to an important tomb!" Li Yahong seemed to know something, and said, and the young master nodded affirmatively.
At this time, I saw that Abu was already pounding something in the golden silk nanmu coffin before, and after Li Yahong and the master said that the coffin did not need to be disinfected, Abu became unscrupulous, and put the jewelry in the mouth and ears of the corpse into his pocket, as the saying goes, dogs can't change eating, maybe it's a person like Abu, we can only shake our heads helplessly.
It's just that some special parts of the corpse also have those jewels, and Abu also knows about these, but it's really too dirty, and we won't take it away like those who have no morals, no matter what it is, as long as it's valuable, which is why we don't have any huge gains every time we fall into the bucket, and there are more factors in it, and it's impossible to say.
"Abu, check it, don't take everything, the soul of this corpse will come back to you!" Li Yahong said jokingly.
"It's okay, I've taken everything, I've seen all this ghost and god, and I believe it, anyway, I'm not a desperate person, just leave him a little." Abu smirked.
Just as Abu was still "searching" the jewelry in the coffin, suddenly the remaining human skin of the male corpse moved, and I was a little panicked, but when I saw Abu's hand under the human skin of the male corpse, I immediately scolded Abu in my heart, and the reason why the human skin moved was all because Abu was blindly touching under the corpse.
But at this moment, Abu's hand didn't know what it touched, and only heard the sound of stones colliding, but the sound was very crisp, not at all the sound of ordinary stones colliding.
"Hey, why is this thing so smooth." Abu's hand was still groping underneath, and then he didn't know what he had touched, and then he said, "Hey, why is there a gap in this thing!" ”
My father and second uncle couldn't hold back when they heard Abu teasing him like this, so they walked up to Abu and asked, "What did you come across, what are you fussing about here?" ”
"Come and see, I don't know what it is!" Abu shouted.
When we walked over, Abu's hand was still pressed underneath, but there was no special reaction, only to see that the thing came out of the clothes on the outside of the corpse, not to mention how frightened we were when we saw that thing, what kind of stone is this, it is obviously jade.
"This is a jade coat!" The old lady was surprised.
"Jade clothes?" I wondered.
"yes, it's a treasure, we've got to take it." The old lady continued.
But I know that the jade clothes are for the emperor and nobles to wear after their deaths, also known as jade sheng or jade box, which is made of many jade pieces with small holes in the four corners and connected by gold, silver or copper wires, which are called golden jade clothes, silver jade clothes and copper jade clothes respectively.
The appearance of jade clothes is about the period of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, and the objects belonging to this period have been found in the Yangjiawan Han Tomb in Xianyang, Shaanxi, the Beidongshan Han Tomb in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, and the Hongjiadian Han Tomb in Linyi, Shandong.
The lower limit of the existence of jade clothes is about the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty or the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, and the accurate age of the jade clothes unearthed from the Han tomb in Dongjia Village, Bo County, Anhui Province is the seventh year of Emperor Yanxi of the Han Dynasty, which is the latest in the physical objects seen so far.
There is also in the archaeological excavations have not seen the jade clothes after the Three Kingdoms, but there are some exceptions to the situation of some ethnic minorities, such as the "Three Kingdoms: Wei Zhi Fuyu Biography" records that the jade clothes used in the burial of the king of Buyeo were supplied by the Han Dynasty government, and the method was that the Han Dynasty stored the jade clothes in Xuansu County, that is, near Shenyang, Liaoning Province, and the king of Buyeo could send someone to collect them after his death.
When Sima Yi eliminated Gongsun Yuan, he found that there was still a piece of jade clothes in the treasury of Xuansu County, which had been banned by Cao Pi, and the main purpose of using jade clothes as funeral clothes was to make the corpse permanently preserved, as recorded in the "Hanshu Yang Wangsun Biography", Yang Wangsun believed that jade could make the corpse immortal for thousands of years.
He said: With jade in the mouth, you can't turn it into a waste, and after a thousand years, the coffin is rotten, but it has to be returned to the earth, and it is its true house. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Liu Penzi" also contains that all the corpses wearing jade clothes in the tombs of the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty are as intact as living people, which is of course not believable, but it also reflects the understanding of the people at that time about the embalming of jade in a sense.
Just as I was still wondering what the origin of this jade robe was, Abu had already taken it off the corpse.
