Chapter Ninety-Six: Out of Body (Updating for the Birthday of the Bottle Attack!) )
Looking at the big coffin that suddenly appeared, at this moment, I only felt that the cold hairs stood on end, and my forehead was cold for a moment.
How did it end up here? Could it be that this thing has been following us all the time when everyone is distracted? At this moment, the tofu suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and I was already bottomless enough, but now there is such a strange big coffin, which is really upsetting.
Hearing Duan Fei's teeth chattering, obviously remembering something bad, he stared at the coffin and shook his head, leaned back and said, "We can't stay here any longer, we will die." ”
I said coldly, "Are you still afraid of the dead?" So saying, he took her by the arm, brought her over, pushed her forward, and said, "Go ahead and see what is in the coffin." ”
Duan Fei's eyes widened in shock, and he said angrily: "You can't do this to me!" ”
"Why?" I looked at her and said lightly, "Because you're a woman?" I'm sorry, now in my eyes, you're just a traitor, let's go. Duan Fei also knew my character, gritted her teeth angrily, and could only walk towards the coffin, and the rest of us followed her cautiously, now we don't have any weapons in our hands, the only thing that can be used as weapons is probably the two probe shovels, it is estimated that the dumb man thinks this thing is heavy, so he didn't confiscate it for us.
At this moment, Ji Qì and I each twisted a probe shovel in our hands, pressing Duan Fei forward, while the rest of the people followed behind us, forming a triangular team, and in a few steps, we arrived at the big red lacquered wooden coffin. It was still the same color as blood, still the Fusang golden black ornament, and the huge coffin floated on the water, exuding a strange atmosphere.
I know that the real strangeness of this fairy tomb is already unfolding to us, the disappearance of Tofu and the Japanese must also be related to the coffin in front of me, if you want to rescue Tofu, I am afraid that you must first find out this coffin.
What will be inside?
Human skin?
I speculated, and after glancing at Jiqì Ren No. 1, the two of them decided to open the coffin.
In the series of crawling and rolling, our gas masks had already been lost, and we had no protective equipment at hand, only a pair of gloves to touch the corpse, and everyone began to move. This coffin is not tightly sealed, there are not even coffin nails, it has obviously been pried out before, probably made by a dumb person.
Since many steps were omitted, the lid of the coffin was easily pried open, and in an instant, a choking smell came to our face. Duan Fei was standing in front, but she couldn't help but take a step back at this time, as if she was afraid that something would come out of the coffin, after all, she was a girl, and her courage was still relatively small.
The four of me and I slapped our noses, and when the choking smell dissipated a little, we cautiously leaned in and looked inside. I saw that inside the coffin was a mass of blackened and rotten cotton wool, which should have been used to wrap the bones for burial. Due to age, the cotton wool has turned into a black mass, emitting a foul smell, and the bones should be wrapped in the quilt.
I made up my mind, stretched out my hand with gloves to touch the corpse, and peeled off the black cotton wool layer by layer. According to the identity of the owner of the tomb, the number and arrangement of these 'wraps' are exquisite, and the ordinary people generally have two pieces, one under the pad, and one on the top. But in ancient times, the princes and generals with status were different, it is said that there was a monarch of Fang Guoguo, who wore a golden jade robe after death, and covered it with 'nine pieces', the so-called nine pieces, namely cotton, linen, silk, silk, leather, silver, gold, forging, and rattan, and the ornaments on the nine pieces were different.
This Xu Fu came to Japan and established himself as a king, and the design of the mausoleum is very strange, combining the specifications of the king's tomb and the immortal tomb. I dialed layer after layer, under the careful counting, there are a full eighteen layers, each layer of the pattern is different, because of the black and rotten, it is not clear to see, but you can also roughly see some clues, there are embroidered dragons and phoenixes on it, and down in turn, it is the scene of the gathering of the immortals of the heavenly realm, and the scene of prosperity in the world, and the scene of purgatory in the underworld, and so on.
When I lifted the eighteenth cover, a strong fishy stench hit my nose, and something appeared in front of me that made my scalp tingle.
It's human skin.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't hide my fear and disgust when I saw this thing in real life. is similar to what Duan Fei described, the whole human skin was as if it had just been peeled off, it was still oozing blood, and there were holes in the facial features, which were filled with blood, not to mention the feeling.
I thought of what Duan Fei said about the human skin fluttering deeds, and hurriedly took a step back, but after waiting for a while, I didn't see any changes in the human skin inside. The crowd was worried for a while, but nothing happened. Ji Qì No. 1 pursed his lips, took out a probe shovel and picked it into the coffin, and directly picked out the human skin.
The human skin was thrown to the ground at random, and suddenly crumpled into an irregular mass, oozing blood.
Suddenly, Gu Wenmin grabbed my arm tightly and said, "Chen Hang, this skin seems to have been peeled off just now, it's ...... Whose skin is it? ”
How many people flashed through my mind, dumb, Japanese, tofu?
No, it can't be tofu, tofu has just disappeared, how can it be skinned so quickly, but if you don't find him earlier, whether it will be skinned in the future is not certain.
I said, "You mean, this skin, most likely the missing person?" ”
Gu Wenmin's face was very heavy, and he said, "It's just an idea of mine. ”
At this time, he heard Duan Fei shake his head and say, "No, before anyone disappears, this skin has already been stored." ”
She doesn't look like she's lying now, could it be that this skin belongs to Xu Fu?
How could Xu Fu's skin be peeled off? Even if it is really peeled off, how can it be maintained for more than 2,000 years...... Fresh?
This series of questions flashed through my mind, and finally, I stared at the skin, and a thought suddenly came to me: the skin is still there, but what about the contents of the skin? What about the skinned corpse?
In other words, why did Xu Fu's coffin leave only his skin and not his body?
Gu Wenmin said: "Could it be that Xu Fu has some enemies, who were buried after death and skinned off?" ”
Professor Lin sighed and said, "It shouldn't be possible, this is the specification of the royal tomb, there are many people when he is buried, who dares to touch his body, is it ......" He seemed to have some thoughts, but frowned, and the words began, but he didn't go on. Gu Wenmin was thoughtful and immediately asked, "Professor, what do you think?" ”
Professor Lin shook his head and said, "I have an idea, but it shouldn't be likely. After a pause, he looked at Jiqì Ren No. 1 and said to him, "You shake this skin open and see if it is from the top of your head to the back of your head." "We don't know what Professor Lin means, but Jiqìren 1 immediately complied.
This human skin is not pounced on now, and it is not so terrifying, Ji Qì Ren No. 1 picked up the human skin to check, suddenly gasped, and exclaimed: "Professor, how did you guess so accurately, it really opened from the top of the head, and the hole is very large, from the top of the head to the back of the head to the neck, all the way to the back." ”
Anyone with a little common sense of anatomy knows that it is most convenient to peel the skin from the front to the back, and there is a Y-shaped step, that is, a Y-shaped mouth is opened on the person's neck, and then peeled down the line. The human skin in front of us was peeled from the opposite direction.
I was surprised, "Professor Lin, what do you know?" Do you already know the origin of this human skin? ”
Professor Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I can give you a reference. He talked about one thing, that is, more than ten years ago, an archaeological team in Hebei Province found a cave in a place called Shenxian Ridge, and from the cave, they found a corpse that had been sitting for thousands of years.
What is sitting? That is, when the monk dies, he dies in a cross-legged posture, and the body does not fall, does not decay, and is for sitting.
This seated old corpse was dressed in a Taoist robe, and it was obviously an ancient high dao. Taoism has always had the saying that the corpse is ascending, that is, the body dies, and the true god comes out of the body and ascends to become an immortal.
There is a saying: The avenue is rare, and the golden pill is hard to find. Jin Dan is like the relics of Buddhism, with Jin Dan you can prolong your life, you can call the wind and rain, you can ride the wind and travel in all directions, but with Jin Dan is not an immortal, there is a true God above Jin Dan, only by cultivating the true God, can you get out of the mortal body and become an immortal.
What the Taoists learned, mysterious and mysterious, has always been mysterious, profound and obscure, the autopsy soared, and the words of the true god becoming an immortal only exist in legends. However, the old corpse found that time was like a depth charge. Because the archaeological team found that there was a very regular hole on the top of the old corpse's head. The hole was not humanly formed, as if a small cannonball had been shot out of the corpse's body, forming a straight circular hole.
Some conservatives believe that this old Tao was murdered and killed, and the hole above the head is the best proof, but some bold people put forward an idea: Could it be that this cave is the entrance of the old Tao when the autopsy soars, and the old Taoist true god enters and exits?
That Xu Fu is a famous monk, folklore has it that he fights fierce beasts with swords, can pinch and calculate, can practice Jindan, will he be a true god after death?
But even if the true god sheds his shell, shouldn't he be left with only a pair of skins, right?
I looked closely at the cracks in the skin, and the more I looked at it, the more numb I felt in my scalp, because the cracks were uneven, not cut with a knife at all, but as if they had been split from the inside. A scene suddenly popped up in my mind, something must have gone wrong in Xu Fu's cultivation, after death, he was supposed to be autopsied into an immortal, but who knew that the true god did not come out, but the body was separated from the skin, and finally crawled out alive along the place where the true god came out of his body.
In other words, the body that disappeared from the skin was crawled out on its own!
