Chapter 254: Ice Bucket Ancient Corpse
I saw the crooked mouth jump back, and I jumped backwards too. I didn't actually see anything just now, it was the crooked mouth that scared me. I hurriedly looked down and shone my flashlight on the flat, smooth ice underground. I saw something like a coffin inside. That's what it is, and if we look closely, I can still see the patterns on those sarcophagus. But all I could see was something curling up and shrinking into a ball, and the style of the picture was a little similar to the murals around Liao Poyu's body in Yunnan.
Crooked mouth said: "This place is really a bit evil" I told him to get Liu Yidao first, we
The two of us were just about to get Liu Yidao up, but the big head came down. Crooked his mouth and said, "What are you doing down?" The big head said, "I don't think you seem to be in any danger." Then he turned around and asked me how I was. I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I didn't see what was down there, I was just startled by your mouth." ”
The crooked mouth spoke at this time: "As soon as I fell down just now, I looked at the figure below it, as if curled up in a ball, I thought of the appearance of a fetus, but suddenly thought of how there is such a big fetus in the world, so I jumped back in fright." "A few of us asked Liu Yidao what was going on, and he didn't figure it out, he fainted just now because of a little lack of oxygen.
I asked Liu Yidao to go up first, and it didn't help much. After he got up with the big head, I discussed it with Crooked Mouth in the cirque, and this might be the tomb. Since Garenbufeng has what Grandpa is looking for, then this place must also be some kind of tomb or sacrificial site. do
Not good, this place is still a holy place in the eyes of the Miao people who came to the snowy plateau. Seeing the pattern on this thing, it must be inseparable from the relics of the Miao people. If it's like the legendary Ten Witches, this ice curtain is a key. This coffin underground, maybe it's the body of one of the Ten Witches, King Miao.
There's definitely something around there that we didn't find. The two of us looked around and were amazed when we looked closely. Originally, we couldn't see anything in the ice walls around us. But when I shine a flashlight with a wolf's tooth, something is reflecting. When we looked closely, there were buildings in the surrounding ice walls. Only then did we realize that there was probably an open-air complex under the ice curtain, but the ice was all sealed.
These things are most likely the burial companions of the coffin. If the ancient coffin under the glacier had so many funerary goods, it would not be a simple person. Then it is very likely that we deduce that it is one of the ten witches.
We just saw it above, and we don't know how many such ice cirques there are on the ice curtain, and since we see this coffin, we might as well dig up the corpse of the sect leader under the ice. See what's in his coffin.
After the two of them finished discussing, they also climbed back from the ice cirque and told Datou and Liu Yidao about the plan. Where we are now, so to speak, is above the snow line of Garenpo Peak, and where the glaciers meet.
The terrain here is uneven, with ice gullies and ice crevasses. Since there was no particularly logical architectural theory when building an open-air sacrificial altar like the one below, it must have been difficult to dig up.
But instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, he looked for his way back in the ice curtain and heavy snow, and walked back anyway. It is better to dig up the coffin of King Miao, one of the ten witches, to see if there is any useful information for us.
Liu Yidao naturally has no experience in this area, so naturally the three of us have the final say. I asked the big head to take out the tools, planted a flag next to the cirque as a sign, gathered the yaks, and then set up a tent on the spot.
Liu Yidao is in charge of the sentry to prevent the wolves from sneaking up. Let the crooked mouth make a fire, cook a little food on the spot, and satisfy our diet. After I took a few of them to dinner, I went into the cirque and started work.
At this time, it was getting late, and in the distant forest, there were bursts of animal wails. It seems that the monkeys or Tibetan bears have not walked cleanly, and it is likely that they are following. When the big head heard the Tibetan horse bear just now, he remembered that he almost didn't die at their hands, and gritted his teeth with hatred. I instructed Liu Yidao and the others to be on guard, and then carried the equipment and went down to the ice bucket.
When we were in Beijing, we asked Zhao Erzhun to have good lighting equipment, and fluorescent lights were hung on the ice wall. Of the few of us, only Crooked Mouth was a veteran of the Tomb of the Fallen Tomb, and he saw a corpse with such a strange posture under the ice. I'm also very curious, although I've been to a few tombs with the big head, but I'm still a little less experienced than the crooked mouth.
In the past few days when we have always been by Yang Laolai's side, we have learned a lot of techniques to touch Captain Jin. As soon as the construction began, a candle was lit in the southeast corner. It's not that we're timid, this is the ancient ritual of opening the hole, since we know that we still follow the old rules.
According to what I said, the fat man poured Zhao Er's quasi-existing ice melting agent into an air pressure spraying can, sprayed the ice on the ground a few times, and then all he needed to do was to wait slowly for the ice melting agent to melt the ice little by little.
The big head dug and said, "Qiangzi, let's dig this thing out, will the Ming weapon inside belong to us?" ”
I said to the big head: "You are just a money string, dig it out first, and then talk about it, you ......" I suddenly felt that there was a lot of evil in this ice bucket, and I touched the jade pendant in my arms. I haven't done this for a long time, maybe we've never been here, we've never seen this kind of burial, and it's really hard to say what we'll dig up later.
The crooked mouth probably saw that I was a little thoughtful, so he said to me: "**This place is very peculiar, while retaining a lot of primitive traditional religions such as shamans, it also absorbs some things from other religions. This kind of tomb probably has something to do with their religious beliefs, so there is no need to make a fuss. ”
At this time, the snow melting agent had almost penetrated, so we used an ice chisel to excavate it, and the ice was not very thick, and after a while, a square ice sheet was deducted, and there was no ice underneath. We found something glued under the ice, and the coffin was in it.
A few of us wasted a lot of effort to open the coffin. Seeing the corpse, everyone was a little surprised, and the big head said, "What the is this?" ”
Crooked Mouth shook his head and said, "Don't fucking stand up with this thing and ask for us." I waited for a crooked look. Then I turned my head and looked at the candle and there was nothing wrong with it. Only then did he calm down and look at the corpse exposed in the coffin. Before the ice broke, the coffin was a dark shadow. I thought that the corpse would not be very big, but at this time, the corpse was very huge, all blue, and with white hair.
The white hairs had hardened and tangled together, like a thick cocoon all over the body. But the corpse had a mask on its face, and the mask had a broken corner. The golden light inside was revealed, and it seemed that the face was all gold. I reached for the face, and underneath the mask was a golden face.
I suddenly had the thought, "Touch it", and I don't know who said that to me. So I touched the golden face, and just touched it twice, and the big head said, "What are you touching him for?" "I suddenly reacted and felt strange too.
I'm looking at the corpse, and it's in a strange position. Holding your hands on your knees and curling up in a ball, this may be religious. Both the Miandi and Tibetan religions believe that rebirth will take place after death, so the deceased is placed in the position of returning to the mother's womb as a fetus.
The corpse did not decompose, using a foreign method of making a mummy. This method of treatment is very complicated, first the deceased must be placed in a specific posture and placed in a sarcophagus. Fill it with salt and let it sit for about four months, waiting for the salt to completely inhale into all parts of the body.
It is then coated with a cement-like substance, which is made of sandalwood, spices, earth, and various medicines. It's like making a pickled egg, or so on.
That layer of white hair may have been corpse before it was processed, and it was necropsized. After being restrained by something, those white hairs gradually solidified and hardened. The part of the corpse's face was coated with a layer of molten gold patent leather. It looks like a golden body, but only a head. Such a complex method is only suitable for people of extremely high status.
