Chapter 34: The Secret of the Slate
The tomb was still filled with that stench, and the closer they got to the coffin, the stronger the stench, the three of them covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, carefully touched the front of the coffin, and looked into the coffin.
A few ** stared at the coffin for a long time, Leng was speechless, only to see that the coffin was full of a coffin of green water, clear but extremely smelly, the stench was emitted from the green water in the coffin, and there was a male naked corpse in the green water.
Presumably the green water in the coffin has some magical effect, this male corpse is not a little corrupted, the male corpse looks more than forty years old, long hair coiled up to the top into a single bun, eyebrows, eyes and beard, white skin and healthy body, face like a knife carving, lifelike half floating in the green water.
"Yoh? There's a handsome guy lying inside! Qu Fattou looked at the male corpse and sighed, "However, this guy is lying naked in the bath and letting the big-headed Fuwa come out to entertain guests, it's a bit unkind!" ”
Listening to Qu Fattou's nonsense, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly, I had to laugh a few words when I saw a male naked corpse, if it was really that scene lying bare-assed inside, how could he be a disaster for his dog's life!
The male corpse in the coffin looks like a living person, with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, and he is terrible to look at, and he will not cheat the corpse if he thinks about it.
I asked Qu Fattou to move the man's body with a crowbar to see if there were any other burial goods at the bottom of the coffin.
Qu Fattou pushed the male corpse to the side according to his words, and in a trance, I vaguely saw a bluestone slab full of words sinking at the bottom of the coffin through the green water in the coffin. I let Qu Fat's head against the male corpse, reached out and slowly pulled up the bluestone slab with a mountain knife, for fear that the green water was poisonous, I didn't dare to take it directly with my hands, took off my clothes and wrapped the slate, so I wiped it.
Qu Fattou held a crowbar in the green water in the coffin, probably to see what other valuable objects, Chen Hudan sat against the screen with the mountain knife, lowered his head and didn't know what to think again, I was afraid that he hadn't recovered from the big head Fuwa, I held the bluestone slab and wiped the remaining green water on it carefully, and saw that these two goods were not interested in the slate, so he walked to the side with the slate and sat down next to Chen Hudan to look at it.
This bluestone slab is densely packed with small characters, I, a college student in the history department, is a half-tone, and I can only understand a rough idea, what is recorded on the slate is the life profile of the ** male corpse in this colored coffin, and a strange thing he experienced before his death, after reading the content on the bluestone slab, I was dumbfounded, turned my head to look at the male corpse who was dragged out of the colored coffin and thrown on the ground by the fat head of the canal sighed, I didn't think things would be like this!
The content on the slate can be divided into two parts, the first half is the life of the male corpse, the male corpse is surnamed Zhang Mingwan, the word Mocheng, born during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and his ancestral home is Jiangling County, Hubei.
This Zhang Wan once served as the county inheritor of Jiangling County, in charge of grain tax, household registration and other officials, looking at what he recorded on the slate, this guy seems to be a distant relative to Zhang Juzheng, the number one political celebrity in the Ming Dynasty.
This Zhang Wanke is a romantic character, he is in charge of household registration, and he is quite a bit of a man, plus he has a solid family background, and he has more than ten concubines, and there are no less girls and daughters-in-law who harm other people's families outside, to put it bluntly, this product was a master like Ximenqing at that time.
I wasn't interested in Zhang Wan's boastful life history in the first half, so I skipped it after reading it.
What really attracted me was the second part, the miracle he recorded
The strange story is that when he was thirty years old, he accidentally rescued a woman, and he said quite a secret as to where and how to save her. According to him, this woman has a strange appearance, like a fairy, Zhang Wan fell in love at first sight, and did not hesitate to divorce all his wives and concubines to marry her, but the woman never agreed, but lived in the same house with him for more than ten years. In the past ten years, Zhang Wan found that the woman's appearance had not changed at all, just like seeing her for the first time.
For women, Zhang Wan has always been sincere to each other, delusional to impress women with sincerity, but did not make any Ximen Qing and his ilk used to the next three indiscriminate methods, until one night, Zhang Wan, who had been fruitless for many years, drank a few more glasses of bitter wine, and couldn't help but kiss the woman, the woman sighed, and after dropping the horn comb used daily, she disappeared out of thin air in front of her.
The woman's disappearance out of thin air, Zhang Wan regretted it, the comb that the woman dropped was engraved with the word "Jing", only at this time, Zhang Wan remembered that she didn't know the woman's name for more than ten years, and the word "Jing" didn't know whether it was the woman's surname or name.
Zhang Wan missed the woman so much that she couldn't afford to get sick after she got to the bottom. When he was dying, he carved this adventure on the bluestone tablet with his own hands, and asked his close friends to transport him and the clothes worn by the woman back to the place where he first saw the woman for burial after his death.
As for the fact that his body is not decomposed, as well as the strange insects in the stone room and the big-headed Fuwa in the coffin, he also arranged them according to the ancient secret method obtained by chance, the purpose is not to let the tomb robbers bother him, and he wants to keep his body intact and wait to see Jing'er again in the future.
The passage engraved at the end of the slate is very interesting, what is said is that Zhang Wan himself knows that anyone who can open his coffin and see the words on the slate must be masters of tomb robbery and gold, and the old Yuanliang in the circle, behind the screen of the tomb, he specially prepared a generous gift! I also hope that the person who opened the coffin will see that he is telling the truth in everything, and that he will not destroy his body after taking the gift
After reading the words recorded on the slate, I was full of emotion for a while, I couldn't imagine that this Zhang Zhang Mocheng was still an infatuated species, let's not talk about his previous romantic history, just later his infatuation with Jing'er was very worthy of admiration.
However, in addition to sighing, I feel that something is a little wrong there, this Zhang Wan said that "Jing'er" is the immortal he inadvertently rescued, but when and where he was saved, he didn't say a word, and he was drunk and abruptly beautiful, Jing'er disappeared out of thin air, it stands to reason that Zhang Wan should be shocked or even panicked, however, he only felt deeply remorseful as recorded by the slate, as if he knew that Dao Jing'er would leave him one day.
What's more, this corpse is not rotten, the human eyes are strange insects, and the ancient secret method of the big-headed monster baby he didn't explain where he got it? Just one chance is a brush-off.
In addition, Zhang Wan specially asked someone to bury him in the place where he first saw Jing'er, so that means that the first time he saw Jing'er was in the stone room under this earthen platform. Hubei is thousands of kilometers away from Inner Mongolia, hundreds of years ago, he trekked through mountains and rivers, what did he do here?
These points are the crux of the matter, but he said vague words, which can't help but make people suspicious
I was looking down to think about it, and I saw Qu Fattou walking over with a backpack, this thing didn't catch anything good in the colored coffin, and the body of the puppet next to the screen was cleaned, and the gold crown and silver silk plain clothes were all put into the backpack.
Qu Fattou sat down next to me, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, threw a cigarette at us, and scolded, "This guy in the coffin is also fucking picked, and there is no fart!" What do we do next? You have an idea. Do you want to go back to your home, where to go back and forth, or do you continue to search in this stone house? ”
I was speechless for a while, I didn't know how to answer Qu Fattou, we came to this Tutai, completely to go to the appointment of the female ghost, before, I preconceived Chen Yinxian and the woman together, always think that this woman must have bad intentions when she called us.
If Jing'er is this woman, according to what Zhang Wan wrote on the slate, this scene really doesn't look like a heinous ghost!
Besides, Jing'er existed in the Ming Dynasty, whether it was a god or a female ghost. I can't remember when I crossed paths with her hundreds of years ago.
New suspicions and old problems, I really think about it, so I just don't want to think about it, and it is only serious to dig out Zhang Wan's filial piety and brotherhood first. Thinking about it, I stood up, patted my buttocks, and waved to the fat head of the ditch, "Go!" Go dig up the baby with Wang Ye! ”
Qu Fattou was half-lying against the screen, listening to me and digging treasures, pouting and saying, "Pull it down, Lao Tzu has been looking around this tomb several times!" Just a few tattered clothes and hats, in the morning bag, and a fart baby. ”
"Your dog's life is in that coffin pool." I smiled and patted the slate and said, "What does it mean to know that knowledge changes fate?" It's a treasure map! If you want to get rich, don't talk nonsense, and go with Lao Tzu. ”
After saying that, I stuffed the slate into my backpack and walked around the back of the screen, Qu Fattou saw that I was holding the slate and studying it for a long time, and I also knew that I must have seen what was famous, so I immediately didn't talk nonsense, pulled up Chen Hudan and followed excitedly
