Chapter 20 Tips
A chill lingered in my heart, my body stiffened, I couldn't move a bit, I never thought that I was so cowardly, I didn't even have the courage to confirm the identity of the corpse. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ni Tian was the first to rush into the yurt, and then patted me on the shoulder and walked towards the corpse without saying a word.
I looked blankly at Ni Tian, who stepped forward to confirm the body, my lips began to tremble slightly involuntarily, and only one voice in my heart kept shouting, "No! No! β
"It's not the fourth master." Ni Tian turned the face of the corpse, although it was also a middle-aged man, most of his face was decomposed and he couldn't make out his face, but judging from the remaining recognizable parts, it was indeed certain that it was really not the fourth uncle.
I breathed a sigh of relief, my tense nerves were completely relaxed, and I only felt that my legs were a little disobedient and softened, but fortunately, the iron head on the side held me up.
I looked at the iron head gratefully, and the iron head nodded at me, and then narrowed his eyes to take a closer look at the yurt.
I resisted the feeling of disgust, and looked at the corpse, but who was this person? Why did he die in the fourth uncle's yurt? Where did the fourth uncle go?
Ni Tian frowned, slowly untied the corpse's coat, and began to carefully examine the corpse, for the current situation, it was obviously also something he did not expect.
Seeing Ni Tian doing the autopsy, Tietou let go of the arm holding me and walked calmly towards the corpse, he was a criminal policeman, so he was naturally used to seeing this kind of bloody and disgusting scene, and he was very easy to deal with.
I hesitated, and gave up the idea of going with the past, which I still knew that if I got any closer, I would have been unable to control the spasms in my stomach, and I would have been embarrassed. Having said that, I really have to thank Tietou for this, when he examined the corpse, he deliberately blocked my view with his body, which somewhat relieved my nausea feeling of wanting to vomit.
"Damn, it's a four-fold twist?" Jin Buchang, who walked in slowly, widened his eyes and looked at the corpse in surprise with his mouth open.
"Don't worry, the fourth uncle lives longer than you." I pinched my nose with my hand, and I couldn't stand the smell of corpses in the room.
"Vomit~vomit~!" The pillar suddenly covered his mouth, ran out of the yurt, held his stomach, squatted on the ground, and kept vomiting. I knew in my heart that it was no wonder that the pillar had not spoken a word since he came in, and it seemed that he had devoted all his energy to suppressing the nausea in his stomach. To be honest, I really envy him, and the feeling of this strong stomach tumbling is really uncomfortable.
"Damn, it's just a corpse, just vomiting like this, at this level? Stupid big man, you can't even do it. "Jin doesn't change it, smash it, smash it, and smash it, and there is some schadenfreude.
"This man has been dead for at least four days." Ni Tian exchanged opinions with Tietou and gave an approximate time of death for a corpse.
"The cause of death was excessive blood loss, the artery of the arm was cut, causing a lot of blood loss, and it should have been a sharp weapon such as a knife, and there were no other obvious wounds on the body." The old criminal policeman led the way, and sure enough, it was different, the iron head squinted his little eyes, and added the cause of death of the corpse.
"What about the fourth uncle?!" I was anxious about the safety of my fourth uncle, and I didn't care about the rancid smell pouring into my nostrils.
Ni Tian and Tie Tou glanced at each other, Tie Tou nodded his big bald head, and Ni Tian slowly turned the corpse over with a little hesitation: "Look hereγγγγγγ β
My eyes widened, and I could clearly see that the corpse's chest was engraved with two large bloody letters, "Down to the groundγγγγγγ
There was a roar like thunder in my head, and I looked at the two large words engraved on the chest of the corpse, which were clear and disgusting. What does this mean? Could it be that this word was engraved by the fourth uncle? Doesn't this mean that this person was killed by the fourth uncle? But where did the fourth uncle go? What does it mean to go to the ground? Did the fourth uncle go down to the ancient tomb first? Or is it prompting us to go down to the tomb? Before I could think about it, Ni Tian flipped the corpse over again. There seemed to be something carved on the back of the corpse.
Ni Tian observed for a moment, took out the brown paper that he had been looking at by the camping lake from his pocket, compared it, and looked a little surprised: "This is a map. β
"Map!" I resisted my stomach and looked closely at the back of the corpse, which was carved into an irregular circle with a vertical bar on the outside of the circle, and a small cross on one of the irregular sides of the circle. I didn't know what the map in Ni Tian's mouth meant, and I was stunned for a while.
Ni Tian handed me the kraft paper in his hand, I took the kraft paper and looked at it carefully, except for a mark marking the southeast and northwest in the upper left corner of the kraft paper, all the others were irregular circles and inexplicable vertical bars, and one of the irregular circles and a vertical bar were specially marked with a red pen.
I took the vellum paper and thought for a moment, and finally figured out the reason, in this vast grassland, any change in the scenery is extremely similar, if it is easier to distinguish the difference, I am afraid that the only thing that is the shape of the lake and the position of the trees is the same.
Obviously, this map should be outlined with lakes and trees as references, so according to this logic, the last red irregular circle and vertical bar should be the end, that is, the location of the mysterious tomb at the end, and this brown paper should be the last map left by his grandfather in Ni Tian's mouth.
It is no wonder that Ni Tian chooses to stop by the lake every time he camps, not for the sake of mood, but to observe the shape of the lake to confirm whether the route is correct.
This time I didn't need Ni Tian to explain, I kept up with Ni Tian's train of thought, I carefully observed the shape of the red circle, and then looked at the back of the corpse, sure enough, the shape was not bad at all, no wonder Ni Tian would say that the back of the corpse was engraved with a map. But what does this extra cross mark represent? I still don't understand the full meaning of the map behind this corpse.
"God, don't ink, if you don't dry it again, it is estimated that this dark weapon has already been touched clean by Dou'er Si, which is clearly going to smash the pot." Jin Buchang had been on the side before, touching the thick gold chain around his neck with his hand and watching coldly, but at this time, he suddenly spoke, and his tone became not very friendly.
My body trembled slightly, and I naturally heard the meaning of Jin Bu's words, obviously he felt that the fourth uncle did not keep the agreement with Ni Tian, and went down to the ancient tomb alone to reap the benefits.
Ni Tian frowned, looked at me, there were elusive complex emotions in his eyes, then sighed, and said no more, stood up and was about to walk outside the yurt, it was obvious that he also acquiesced to the idea of Jin Buchang.
Don't say that Ni Tian and Jin Buchang have great doubts about the motives of the fourth uncle, and even I myself have some doubts about whether the fourth uncle deliberately asked Ni Tian to come to me, whether it was just to get rid of Ni Tian so that he could go down to the ancient tomb alone. But after thinking about it again, if this is the case, why did the fourth uncle save Ni Tian's life in the first place, and make such a move? This doesn't make sense, besides, how could the fourth uncle use me as bait? Absolutely impossible, there must be some unexpected accident in the process.
I suddenly realized that the current situation has become a little delicate, and the incident is developing in the direction I was worried about, the group of people who originally planned to rob the tomb has slowly begun to become two groups, if they meet the fourth uncle after they go down, there may really be some unexpected situations.
I began to worry about the safety of my fourth uncle, and I didn't have time to think about it anymore at this time, so I blurted out without thinking: "I'll go too!" βγ
"Go, go, go! a fart, my uncle cheated my nephew and cheated, I'm a fool when Master Jin? Is your family addicted to fooling people!? β
I can understand Jin Buchang's anger, but obviously he is not the person I want to convince, my eyes looked directly at Ni Tian, full of determination: "There must have been an accident, the fourth uncle must have a reason for him to do this, and if he really wants to cheat, he will not save you in the first place!" β
Ni Tian stopped, without words, fell into thought, and his expression became a little complicated.
Jin Buchang just wanted to have another seizure, but was pressed by Ni Tian's shoulder with one hand: "Okay, you go."
"I have to go too." I looked back, and it was the iron head who was still carefully observing the corpse that spoke, he squinted his small eyes and looked directly at Ni Tian, and his words were categorical, as if he was informing, not asking.
Ni Tian was not very surprised by Tietou's reaction, and it is no wonder that although I only said that Tietou and Zhu are just my two friends, I believe that Ni Tian has already seen the real relationship between these two and me.
"Okay, you go too." Ni Tian did not hesitate to answer this time.
At this time, the pillar outside the yurt also ran in, with an anxious face: "If the third young master and the iron boss are going, don't leave me." β
"I'll you, you think this is a picnic? It's okay to go, but after this fight, each has a destiny, and don't expect Jin Ye and me to save you if you fold it in. "Jin Buchang is a little dissatisfied, and he has to keep going.
"Alright, old Kim." Ni Tian shook his head and stopped Jin Buchang. He turned to look at me again and sighed: "Hey, okay, let it be you, just let me repay your Sun family's favor, and we will clear up from now on." β
"Thank you, Uncle Tian, what about this corpse?" That was settled, and I looked at the corpse again.
Although I don't recognize this person, this person's death has something to do with the fourth uncle, that's for sure, I still can't bear that he is rotting here and turning into white bones. In addition, I have another worry in my heart, the group of pretending to be Mongols told us that they are looking for someone, and the person they are looking for will be this person? If this is the case, if this person's body is found by them, I am afraid that it will really cause a lot of trouble.
Ni Tian guessed my mind and thought for a moment: "Do you know that the Mongolians have a funeral method called sky burial? I nodded, I still knew about the sky burial when I was in the army, and I heard him talk about it when I was chatting with a comrade-in-arms in Inner Mongolia.
Sky burial is a traditional burial method of Mongolian, Tibetan and other ethnic minorities, where the body of the deceased is taken to a designated place and swallowed by eagles, vultures, or steppe wolves.
The core concept of this funeral method is the immortality of the soul and the reincarnation of reincarnation, and the death of human beings is actually only the separation between the immortal soul and the old body, which is a different transformation of another dimension.
In the traditional Mongolian celestial burial ceremony, the body of the deceased is turned face up, covered with a cloth with a mantra written on it, and placed in the wilderness for foxes, wolves, and carnivorous birds to devour. Three days later, relatives come to visit, and if the body is eaten by birds and beasts, or there is not much left, it means that the deceased has lived a good life and the soul has returned to heaven.
If it moves little or untouched, it is considered to have done evil in life, and even birds and beasts are unwilling to peck and devour. At this time, it is necessary to ask the lama to chant sutras excessively, until the flesh and bones enter the belly of the eagle wolf, and then it is considered that he has fulfilled his heart for the deceased.
When Ni Tian saw me nodding, he knew that I understood the heavenly burial in his mouth, so he didn't explain any more: "Of course, it is impossible for us to get any cloth with scripture charms at present, and it is impossible to run back three days later to check whether this person has been eaten cleanly." The only thing that can be done is to take the black canvas that originally covered the cardboard box for temporary use, as for the lama who recites the sutras excessively, although we don't have it, there is still a Taoist priest who pretends to be a ghost. β
With my mind decided, I held back the nausea in my heart and stepped forward to help carry the corpse, but I was shocked to see Ni Tian take out a dagger from his waist, take it in his hand, and slash it towards the back of the corpse.
His move really startled me: "What are you doing!?" β
"Just in case, these can't be kept." Without raising his head, Ni Tian repeatedly scratched the back of the corpse, and then turned the corpse over and drew it on the chest.
I couldn't bear to look directly at this bloody scene, and looked at the iron head on the other end of the corpse who didn't say a word, and the iron head nodded at me with his big bald head, it seems that Ni Tian also thinks that this dead man really has something to do with that group of fake Mongols, and any clues about our whereabouts will be destroyed.
After Ni Tian dealt with it, I called the pillar to come over and help, the pillar had already come to his senses, and the previous vomiting made him somewhat sober, so he ran over with his nose covered.
I, Ni Tian, Tietou, Zhuzi, and the four of them carried the body out of the yurt and placed it in the grass not far away.
Ni Tian returned to the car and brought a black canvas and called Lu Laodao. Lu Laodao also showed a surprised expression when he saw the rotting corpse lying flat, Ni Tian briefly told him what happened, Lu Laodao sighed: "Now that you are safe, let Poor Dao give you another ride." His mouth gurgled as he recited an unknown scripture.
Ni Tian stepped forward to cover the body with a black canvas, and then stood aside with us and said no more, the yurt behind me was blazing, and the hot wind blew on my back, Jin Buchang threw the torch after lighting the yurt in his hand into the flames, and swaggered towards the car.
At this time, I didn't want to be blown by a breeze, blowing the canvas that had covered the rotten head slightly, the sun shone on the half-decomposed face of the corpse, and the bursts of heat from the burning yurt behind it surrounded the surroundings, and the inexplicable scriptures of Lu Laodao lingered in my ears, but it was extremely weirdγγγγγγ
