Chapter 44: Five Senses Soul Transfer
Maybe on weekdays, at most, I have heard that only corpses or heads will be hung on the gate of the ancient city wall, no one has ever heard of hanging coffins, the fat man circled around twice to express puzzlement, those who are hung on TV are often the most heinous court criminals, the purpose of the ruler of the dynasty is to hang these people to play a deterrent effect, so as to warn the world, violation of law and discipline is this kind of end, but this directly hangs the coffin...... Indeed, it is unheard of. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I stared at the round wooden coffin in front of me and shook my head: "The funeral custom of hanging the coffin still exists in history, and it is also one of the funeral rites of our southern ethnic minorities. ”
I introduce to everyone, this kind of burial style is called hanging coffin burial, a kind of cliff burial, the word hanging coffin comes from Liang Chen Gu Ye Wang, until 1946 was used as a special name by archaeologists, according to legend, after the death of the person, relatives and family members will be buried into the coffin, mainly wooden coffin, and then the coffin will be suspended on the wooden stake inserted into the cliff cliff, and there are also directly placed in the cliff cave and the cliff crevice, or simply half suspended outside the cliff. The advantage of this burial style is that the burial site is steep and high-risk and descends a deep stream, which makes it difficult for people with intentions to climb or impossible to climb at all.
According to the current data records, some ethnic minorities in Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Anhui and other provinces in China will implement this kind of burial ceremony, and the hanging coffin burial tools and ages excavated by archaeology in various places are different, FJ Wuyi Mountain and the junction of SC and YN are the main concentration of hanging coffin burials, among which the whole wooden ship-type hanging coffin found in Wuyi Mountain has been confirmed to be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, indicating that the history of this burial style is still quite long.
But having said that, even I really haven't heard of a person who died of a nervous disorder and was buried in a coffin and hung at the gate of the city or in front of his house.
Just when I was puzzled, I found Cailiu half-squatting under the single-plank coffin, fiddling with something with the blade in my hand, I swept the flashlight in front of her, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded
- Directly below the coffin is a pool of blood, not only that, but in the flashlight beam, this blood is slowly splashing out from the bottom of the coffin.
This scene made us even more creepy, this one was suspended in the coffin in mid-air...... Is there a living man? The two surviving grave robbers? Or a comrade of the archaeological team? Or...... What else is it?
The fat man was really bold, and when he saw the blood, he put his ear on the surface of the coffin, and finally shook his head at me: "Hey? There's no movement in there, is there? ”
I rolled my eyes and grunted, I really couldn't imagine what would happen after this trunk, and I was hesitating to do something, when I saw Cailiu on the side get up, put away the knife, and said coldly:
"Open the coffin."
Okay, big sister, you can open it.
I gave the fat man a look, and the fat man understood, pulled out the crowbar from his bag that he had turned out of my tent before going down to the grave, and without saying a word, inserted it into the crack in the coffin lid of the single wooden coffin in front of him. Due to the slight height of the coffin, the fat man used uneven force, and it took him a while to hear the sound of the coffin lid loosening. The sound and shape moved, we all consciously took a few steps back, and with a loud bang, the two-meter-long coffin fell to the ground, and with it, there were tall and burly ancient corpses.
I thought that there should be layers of inner coffins in the single wooden coffin, but now I see that there is none, but it is good, save trouble, so I teamed up with the fat man to surround the ancient corpse that fell to the ground, because we had encountered the shocking rune corpse in the fox cave before, we didn't dare to hold it up, didn't get too close, and only dared to watch it a few steps away.
Although the fat man was bold, he did not forget Xiao Chen's tragic appearance before he died, shook his shoulders, and used the crowbar in his hand to pestle the ancient corpse lying on the ground.
This ancient corpse was turned over by the fat man like this, and he turned his face softly, and when everyone saw its face, they couldn't help but gasp at the same time
——Although this ancient corpse is not only dead like sleep, but also full of life, it can be said to be packed into a burial. I saw that it wore a golden crown with a bundle of hair, a belt on the crown, tied under the chin, wearing a gold shirt with a disc collar and narrow sleeves, and a middle-sleeved rectangular collar jade straight cardigan was also covered with a straight cardigan, the collar and cuffs of the straight cardigan and the hem of the shirt were inlaid with gold wide edges, the waist was tied with a wide jade surface, the lower edge of the two layers of sharp corners was hung down by the jade ornaments, and the left and right corners of the outer layer of the small sheath were also hung with two gold ribbons, and a pair of gluttonous jade stripes were kicked on the feet.
It is not difficult to see from this outfit that the person who was buried here must be a certain dignitary of a certain period, but what makes us frightened is not the golden and jade head of the ancient corpse, but the face of this ancient corpse only has two bearded upper and lower lips, from the nasal cavity to the forehead, it is empty, leaving only a black blood pit, as if it was directly hit through the face door by some heavy object, which is tragic and shocking.
The fat man and I only looked at it and felt that our scalp was numb, and our stomach was tumbling, and we couldn't bear to look at it directly; Xiao Ye had never seen this tragic battle, and he couldn't bear the torture and ran to the side and vomited; Cailiu was even more terrifying than the ancient corpse - when I scratched my cheeks to relieve the horror, not only did she not shy away from the horrific scene in front of her, but crouched down in front of the thing to take a closer look.
To tell the truth, this girl Cailiu definitely doesn't have a boyfriend.
I gritted my teeth, pulled the fat man and went up together, after all, people can't fall down, no one girl feels it, and the two of us must not feel it.
That's right, but after I surrounded it, I still couldn't make eye contact with this thing on the ground. After twisting for a while, I was about to publish that I could infer which dynasty and generation it belonged to based on the costume of this dead corpse, but Cailiu pointed to the chest of the ancient corpse and said to me:
"This corpse is not the main one."
What does it mean? Not the right one? When I heard this, my heart jumped, and I hurriedly focused on the place where Cailiu was pointing, and when I saw it, I found that there seemed to be something on the skin under the neckline of the jade shirt worn by the ancient corpse in front of me.
On the chest of the corpse under the neckline, there are English letters tattooed on the body!
The fat man has been watching us turn over the corpses from the side, and now he saw that the things I picked out were also a row, and he was amazed: "Hey, damn it, the ancients also played with tattoos?" This person is also a triad? Of course, he is ridiculing, unlike foreign underworlds, the higher the level of those real social people in China, the cleaner their bodies are, and the fat man is a local brother, and there is no tattoo on his body.
He paused and chased, "Hey? That's not right...... Why the hell is a sentence in English? It means ......"
The fat man tilted his head and translated.
In fact, I knew what it meant when I first saw that row of tattoos, because I had seen them countless times and complained about them countless times
——This so-called "ancient corpse" dressed as a prince and king is none other than Li Maosheng, the famous captain Li in our archaeological team, who is often accompanied by He Deputy!
