In fact, it is not easy to find a zongzi in the ancient tomb, because most of the corpses in the ancient tombs will be so rotten that there is no trace of the bone slag, even if there is a pile of white bones and skeletons left, it is really not easy, and the corpse that can be preserved for thousands of years without decay is definitely a rare treasure.

To form this kind of zombie, in fact, it is the result of many factors, and the process is very complex, and in summary, there are several main factors.

First of all, the ancients had to carry out some treatment on the buried corpses, some of them had to seal the nine orifices with jade, and then soaked the corpses in mercury, and some would use natural Chinese herbs to embalm the corpses.

However, these special treatments are not the treatment that ordinary people can enjoy, and generally the minimum status is also qualified for princely generals, so the ancient tombs that can generally appear zombies are of relatively high specifications.

Secondly, the sealing of the coffin is done well, the general ancients have very strict requirements for the sealing of the coffin, the coffin is inside, the coffin is outside, the coffin itself can be tightly sealed, and the outside of the coffin should be sealed with cinnabar and pig blood boiled into "vermilion", the cinnabar has the effect of detoxification and antiseptic, can inhibit or kill bacteria, if the concentration is high, it can even inhibit the survival of most active enzymes, so the inner coffin itself has an antiseptic effect.

And shine on the outer layer of the coffin, but also have their own set of sealing methods, generally is to use green plaster soil and white plaster soil in the coffin outside the tightly blocked, which is a bit like the lime soil or cement soil used now, with the extension of time, this protective layer will be more firm, so the coffin is like a two-layer insurance in general, it can form an oxygen-free environment inside it, which is not conducive to the survival of spoilage bacteria, so as to achieve a good antiseptic effect.

Finally, some ancient tombs will be lit in the tomb when the burial is done, hoping to illuminate the dead living in the underworld forever, but even if it is an eternal lamp that uses the legendary "mermaid paste" as fuel, it will soon be extinguished after the tomb is closed, because after the ancient tomb is closed, the oxygen in it will be slowly consumed, and finally the lamp will be extinguished, and the tomb will be dark forever, but this makes the whole tomb form a large oxygen-free environment, which makes another layer of protection for the embalming of the corpse.

However, even if so many embalming measures have been done, but the chance of being able to find a zombie in the ancient tomb is still very small, and most of this depends on the creation of the tomb owner, some ancient tombs have been excavated by tomb thieves, leaking air into it, and it will not take long for the zombies to rot into slag and turn into nothing, and now ten tombs and nine empty, the ancient tombs that have not been stolen and excavated are already difficult to find, so any zombie that has not been corrupted for thousands of years is definitely a rare thing.

So when the fat man saw a dead zongzi poked in the corner, he would be so excited, because this kind of dead zongzi is a non-rotting dry corpse formed due to the loss of water from the corpse cells, and its value on the market is really expensive, and even many foreign museums and individual collectors will buy it at a sky-high price, which is very popular.

However, this kind of non-rotting dry corpse, but it is not the rarest and most expensive among the zombies, some zombies even in the thousands of years, even the water in the cells of the corpse has not been lost, it has formed a water zombie with skin like a living person, also called water zongzi, this kind of water zongzi is even rarer, once unearthed, it must be immediately put into the sterile formalin to soak, otherwise, it will be quickly decomposed within an hour after unearthing, completely destroyed, such water zongzi, the most famous is the thousand-year-old female corpse unearthed in the Mawangdui Han tomb "Xin Chai". It is the best-preserved water dumpling so far.

And the dead zongzi mentioned by the fat man is also one of the types of zongzi, that is, there is no corpse that does not decay, and there is no threat to people.

However, in addition to water zongzi and dead zongzi, there are many types of zongzi in the legend, and there are seven or eight main ones, such as old zongzi, big zongzi, dry zongzi, blood zongzi, hair zongzi, fire zongzi, meat zongzi, King Kong zongzi, etc., etc., in short, there are too many types of zongzi zombies in the ancient tomb, and it is really difficult to enumerate them completely.

It is said that as long as you meet one in the ancient tomb, it is enough to touch the corpse craftsmen to drink a pot, because among the types of zongzi, only the meat zongzi represents a lot of valuable treasures on the corpse, and the dry zongzi means that the corpse is only a pile of white bones, as for the other types, it is said that the zongzi can run and jump, and they are all powerful things that drink blood from the corpse, for example, the big zongzi refers to the powerful zombies that are particularly difficult to deal with; Blood zongzi refers to zombies who have been skinned with deep resentment; There is also Mao Zongzi, that is, an old zombie with long hair all over his body, which is even more evil.

So it is precisely because the legendary zongzi is so powerful, I heard the fat man say it before, and Gao Chao was so frightened, but the fat man didn't think so, and laughed at Gao Chao.

Gao Chao let the fat man pick up the joke, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he quickly explained to the fat man: "Who said I was nervous? I'm just thinking about our safety, besides, how can you be sure that zongzi is dead? What if it's alive? ”

The fat man listened to Gao Chao's words, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he looked at the figure in the distance and looked at it carefully, and then said: "Lao Gao, we don't dare to say anything else, but about those things about zongzi, my fat man is definitely an expert-level ......."

The fat man said this, Gao Chao was speechless, and said that it was also, to say that the general antique dealer does not understand the zongzi, it is also understandable, after all, everyone is a trader, no one has ever been under the ancient tomb to drill the bucket, of course, there is no detailed understanding of the zongzi, but to say that the old Zhao family of the Qingshuitang Wanjin Pavilion, it is completely two different things.

You must know that this old Zhao family used to be a corpse toucher in the Eight Outer Lines, and their family must have been tinkering with all kinds of zombie zongzi, so at this moment, even if this Zhao fat man claims to be an expert in zongzi, it is not an exaggeration.

But Gao Chao thought about it again, and said in his heart that it was not right, this Zhao Fat Man has played with himself since he was a child, and he has never seen him dig a pit and fight upside down, how can he understand Zongzi? To say that his 100-year-old father understands zongzi, this is still reliable.

So Gao Chao said to the fat man with a suspicious tone: "I said Zhao Fatzi, let's be doing activities underground in the middle of the night, and now there is a big dumpling at the root of the opposite wall, you can't talk nonsense with me, this is not good, but it will kill people, do you know?" ”

Seeing that Gao Chao didn't believe his words, the fat man raised his eyebrows and said, "I said Lao Gao, why don't you believe buddy again?" Yes, my fat man sometimes speaks, maybe a little exaggerated, but at the critical moment, when did I fall off the chain? Let me tell you, the zongzi on the other side is a dead zongzi, I dare to use the reputation of the old Zhao family to vouch for this......"

As he spoke, the fat man walked to the depths of the basement with a big grin, looking like that, he definitely held his breath and wanted to give Gao Chao an explanation, Gao Chao saw the fat man like this, and he was worried about him in his heart, so he naturally hurriedly followed the fat man to the figure in the depths.

Gao Chao and the fat man both took action, at the mouth of the narrow passage at this moment, only Xia Qing was left, she couldn't help but squint and look into the passage behind her, the passage was dark at the moment, as if something would come out at any time, which made Xia Qing suddenly feel a chill around her, and the hairs on her body were about to stand up, so although she was reluctant, she also hurried to chase Gao Chao and the fat man.

The fat man and Gao Chao were in front, getting closer and closer to the figure, and he could already see it very clearly in a few steps, at this moment Gao Chao couldn't help but gasp, and said that his grandmother's, and really let this Zhao Fat Man say it, the figure standing under the wall in front of him is really a zongzi.

Gao Chao was still holding the red candle in his hand, under the candlelight, the zongzi stood straight by the wall, its arms drooped, its limbs were stiff, and its exposed skin was shriveled and blackened, it looked similar to the color of the camphor tea duck, the sauce was black, the zongzi's head was drooping, hanging down on his chest, and he couldn't see its face clearly, but the snow-white short hair on one end of the zongzi was extraordinarily blinking, and it made people feel furious when he saw it.

Getting closer, Gao Chao suddenly found that something was wrong, why the clothes on this zongzi were actually a dark gray tunic suit.

Gao Chao was stunned for a moment, so he glanced at the fat man, but he didn't expect the fat man to look at him with a frown, and the two looked at each other, and they both understood the doubts in each other's hearts.

However, the two of them had already come to Zongzi at this time, and Gao Chao had no choice but to rely on his courage to say to the fat man: "Fatty, if you want to say that this is a dead zongzi, my brother can believe you, but why is this dead Zongzi wearing a tunic on him, how can this be explained?" ”

The fat man is actually embarrassed, he has never seen any zongzi at all, those so-called zongzi knowledge, he has only heard his father talk about it since he was a child, so when Gao Chao asked this, he was also blocked straight teeth, but after all, he boasted about Haikou just now, how could he say that he didn't know now.

So the fat man had no choice but to touch his chin and drive the donkey to the shelf, and pretended to say: "Well, this is nothing unusual, although the zongzi in the ancient tomb are not rotten, but the clothes they wear are not good!" Generally, when the zongzi is unearthed, as long as the clothes on the body are seen by the wind, they will immediately turn to ash, so maybe Xia Lao feels that this zongzi is not very elegant, so he temporarily put a Zhongshan suit on his body, so it is more harmonious, both beautiful and generous, and quite advancing with the times. ”

As soon as Gao Chao heard the fat man say this, he knew that the fat man's mouth began to run the train again, but now he didn't bother to argue with the fat man, the thing he was most concerned about at the moment was whether this dried corpse had something to do with Xia Lao's prophecy, and he wondered if there were any important clues on this dry corpse, because the basement where they were at the moment should be Xia Lao's room, so now, Xia Qing has really completed his task, but what next? What happens next?

Thinking of this, Gao Chao said to the fat man: "Fatty, I have heard some things about zongzi before, it is said that zongzi will raise corpses when they touch people with yang energy, even if it is a dead zongzi, it is possible to cheat the corpse to come back to life, is this true?" ”

In fact, Gao Chao's purpose of asking this question is obvious, he wants to search and touch the zongzi in front of him, touch it, and see if there is anything else on it, but in view of the fact that he has heard those legends before, he does not dare to act rashly now, and it is better to listen to the advice of zongzi experts.

The fat man listened to Gao Chao's words, and also understood Gao Chao's thoughts, and at this moment he even showed embarrassment, and said: "Lao Gao, the situation you said is indeed there, I heard my father mention it, saying that the body of zongzi is not rotten, and it can still leave a soul and a soul in its body, after thousands of years in the ancient tomb, it has endured loneliness and cold, and it is full of resentment, as long as it gets a little yang, and even someone blows hot breath on its face, some zongzi can ease up, and that soul and soul with resentment can drive the zongzi to get up the corpse, and most of the zongzi have a corpse, As powerful as an ox, steel and iron bones, with a wave of the arm, you can fan down the human head and scare the person to death, so in ancient times, the corpse toucher had to wear a mask when he went to the tomb, not only to prevent the corpse from blowing the face of the corpse to make people infected with corpse poison, but also to prevent the yang energy from blowing on the face of the zongzi when touching the corpse, causing the corpse to cause the murder, so you really have to be careful, I want you to see that you should not touch this zongzi first, let's think of other ways to deal with it......"
