Chapter 34: The Bloody Coffin Floating Corpse
Several people held sapper shovels on guard for a long time, and did not see any movement in the sarcophagus, I wondered if it could be a mistake in the pit, so I cautiously approached the sarcophagus, put my ear on the sarcophagus and listened, but did not hear any sound, so I put the sapper shovel and turned to Lao Zhao and said, "It's all rest, nothing." Hearing me say this, Lao Zhao and the others also put down the weapons in their hands.
The pit came over, scratched his head and said, "No, I heard a voice just now." ”
I went up and kicked him and said, "I'll talk about it later when things are clear, don't startle it, it'll scare people to death." ”
This is Lao Zhao suddenly calling me: "Brother Ling, come and take a look." ”
I went over to take a look, and it turned out that Lao Zhao had found the situation again on the back of the sarcophagus. I saw that there was an opening on the back of the sarcophagus, the opening was not big or small, and along the opening, a blood rope was inserted straight into the coffin.
"What's this, phone line?" The pit said.
"Can you be normal, no, there will be a telephone line in this place." Naturally, I can't agree with the pit, because his opinion is so outrageous. It's unbelievable why there is such an opening in the sarcophagus, and another rope of blood penetrates it. , If you want to understand this problem, I'm afraid you have to ask Lao Zhao.
Lao Zhao pondered for a while and said, "Maybe this is the purpose of raising bones that I just said, just to keep the corpses in these sarcophagi uncorrupted." Then he said, "Of course, this is just my initial guess, and I am afraid that the specific situation can only be known by opening the sarcophagus." ”
I like this thing more, we have been in the tomb for so long, we have experienced a thousand difficulties and dangers, this sarcophagus is still the first time I have encountered, I don't know what treasures will be there when I open the sarcophagus, although I don't tie what I get from the ancient tomb, but it's always okay to take a look. Not only me, but the pit also shouted to open the coffin, saying that he wanted to take the ancient test and say hello to the ancients. I didn't say it, but I knew in my heart that the pit was the treasure in the coffin.
The idea has been decided, open the coffin archaeology. Song Jin took out a crowbar from his bag and inserted the tip into the gap in the coffin lid, and the three of us stepped back to guard against the mechanism on this sarcophagus. I saw Song Jin's hand pressed on one end of the crowbar, and he went down the cliff hard, and with a creak, the sarcophagus lid moved a little to the side. I was extremely nervous, first, I was worried that there was a mechanism on the sarcophagus, and second, this was the first time I had seen the scene inside the sarcophagus of the ancient tomb.
The lid of the coffin was removed, and there was nothing abnormal, and several of us stepped forward and carefully pushed the lid open completely. A flashlight was used to shine into the coffin, and there was a wooden coffin in the sarcophagus. Sure enough, as Lao Zhao said, the outer layer of stone is called a coffin but not a coffin, and the wooden one inside is the real coffin. Now that we are separated from the ancient people in the coffin by a layer of wood, my heart is pounding, both nervous and excited.
A closer examination of the wooden coffin revealed nothing unusual. The inner wooden coffin is also the same as the outer stone coffin, which is much longer than a normal coffin, and is made of a single piece of wood, with no traces of riveting visible. I finally found the gap in the coffin lid, and after trying for a long time, I couldn't insert the crowbar. Chanting shook his head, indicating that the wooden coffin was too tightly closed, and there was no way to pry it open.
This time it stumped us, but fortunately, there is still Lao Zhao, and the problem should not be big. Over the years that Lao Zhao has been in the industry, he has been to the tomb, and he probably doesn't remember how many coffins he has opened, and a small wooden coffin must be no problem. Lao Zhao jumped on the stone coffin, walked along the edge, and carefully inspected the wooden coffin inside the coffin. After a while, he gently jumped on the coffin lid, just like a cat, whether he stepped on the coffin lid or walked on the coffin lid, his body was light and there was no sound, this kind of skill was by no means possible for ordinary people.
Walking around the coffin lid, Lao Zhao squatted down at the head of the coffin and groped on the coffin lid with his hands. I saw that he suddenly poked the lid of the coffin with two fingers, and then shouted, and his body had jumped onto the stone coffin. With a creaking sound, the head of the wooden coffin was slightly cocked, revealing a two-centimeter-high slit.
"Awesome, Brother Zhao." Seeing that Lao Zhao opened the lid of the coffin smoothly, the pit couldn't help but give a thumbs up on the side.
Old Zhao smiled and said, "It's nothing, if you see too much, you will naturally find the law." "It turns out that this kind of coffin is called Tongtian coffin, and there is no difference between the whole coffin and other general wooden coffins in form, they are all big and small, the only difference is that the ordinary coffin is closed after the lid is closed, fixed with coffin nails, so there are gaps between the coffin lid and the coffin body, which is easy to be pried open by tomb robbers, and when the Tongtian coffin is made, the coffin nail and the coffin lid are made together, and the mechanism is left at the top of the coffin lid, and when the box lid is reached, the prefabricated coffin nail is embedded in the coffin body, and then the coffin lid is locked through the mechanism on the coffin lid, and the mechanism is hidden at the same timeIn this way, the closure can make the coffin lid and the coffin body tightly closed and cannot be pried open. When encountering a master like Lao Zhao, it can be regarded as them underestimating the strength of the tomb robbers.
Seeing that there was a gap, Song Jin inserted the crowbar into it, and I worked hard with the help of the pit to finally pry open the heavy coffin lid. However, the moment we opened the lid of the coffin, we were all shocked. I saw that the coffin was red and full of blood, like a big red dye vat. It turned out to be a coffin of fucking blood, and I couldn't help but retch a few times, it was so disgusting and perverted.
The pit snorted and scolded: "It's really unlucky, is this coffin here for the eldest aunt?" ”
Lao Zhao looked at the blood in the coffin and said: "It seems that this blood is provided by the blood rope inserted into the coffin, otherwise it would not have been preserved for so long, what a wonderful design." "What a exquisite design, Lao Zhao still has the heart to sigh about these things at this time. Just when we were nauseous, I saw a few bubbles of blood in the coffin, and I used a flashlight to shine it, only to see a person's face slowly floating.
Hiss...... I couldn't help but gasp, did we meet zombies? I picked up the sapper shovel and approached cautiously, and saw that there was no movement on the human face, and when I looked closely, I saw that the human face had its eyes closed, half sinking and half floating in the bloody coffin, presumably this was the owner of the coffin. After working for so long, I finally saw the body, the body in this coffin has not rotted for half a year, and it must have a lot to do with the blood in this coffin.
I lightly touched the face with the sapper's shovel, and the face shook a few times, and there was no special reaction, and then the whole body gradually floated up. The coffin is a male corpse with fine white skin, I don't know if he was born so white, or soaked in this blood for hundreds of years, dressed gorgeously, the patterns on the clothes are swimming in the dragon and phoenix, at first glance it is the ancient princes and nobles. It's just a little strange that the age of this male corpse is only in his thirties, which seems too abnormal. Although the average life expectancy of ancient people is shorter than that of modern people, as a rich and powerful nobleman in ancient times, it is unlikely that he will die so early, and it has been opened by us, and the probability is too low, unless the person dies unnaturally. If you think about it this way, you may still be able to figure it out, maybe this person died in battle.
The pit obviously didn't think about it as much, and rubbed his hands on the side and said, "Finally found the master, let's invite him out to take the test." As he spoke, he was about to reach out and pull the clothes of the man's corpse, but unexpectedly, Lao Zhao, who was standing on the side, shouted: "Wait, you can't use your hands, you have blood on your hands, and the blood of living people staining the corpse will cause the corpse to change." As soon as he heard about the corpse, the hand that was going to catch the male corpse suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he didn't dare to catch the male corpse anymore.
"How's that to be?" I asked Lao Zhao, we won't just look at it in a daze.
"It's not that you can't move, it's just that the possibility of this kind of wet corpse being transformed is too high, so we must be cautious." Lao Zhao said.
When I was in school, I was more interested in archaeological things, and I knew about the wet corpse that Lao Zhao said, and the most well-preserved wet corpse found in the archaeological community in our country is the Xin Chai female corpse unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb, the corpse because of the isolation of miscellaneous bacteria and water, it has been buried underground for more than 2,000 years without decay, it is said that when the ancient corpse was found, the skin of the ancient corpse is still tough, which can be described as a big wonder in the archaeological world. As for the dried corpses, the most famous should be the mummies made by the ancient Egyptians, the production techniques are complicated, and the preservation time is long, so that the masterpieces of the ancient Egyptians have been handed down to this day, and also add a lot of mystery to ancient Egypt. In addition to the belief that dried corpses are made, because of the special and special funeral methods of natural conditions, various dried corpses will also be formed, and more and more dried corpses have been discovered over the years. However, the conditions for the formation of well-preserved wet corpses are quite harsh, which is why the wet corpse of Mrs. Xin Chai can shock the entire archaeological community.
Of course, in addition to dry corpses and wet corpses, there is also the so-called yin corpse. The human corpse is buried in the ground after death, but because of feng shui, the corpse does not decay and the nails and hair continue to grow. Of course, no one has verified these things, and maybe someone has researched it, but it is obvious that the one we have found so far is definitely not a yin corpse.
To get back to the point, since you can't move the corpse directly with your hands, and you are worried about causing a corpse change, you can only wait for Lao Zhao's instructions. Lao Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course we have to move, but before that, we must make some preparations to avoid the living breath on our bodies from coming into contact with the corpse in this coffin." ”
The breath of the living, do we want to hold our breath and move the corpse? After speaking, Lao Zhao instructed us to do this and this and prepare for the removal of the corpse.
