Volume 1 The Land of Yama Chapter 67 The Vanishing Corpse

My heart began to beat wildly, and if it was only shaken by the vibration just now, it would be fine. But if the coffin is opened on its own, then the matter is serious.

I glanced at Lantern Xiao, so the two of us split into two directions and leaned over. Lantern Xiao raised the flashlight, took a quick look inside, and immediately retreated. I saw that his expression was a little confused, and he frowned and rolled his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

I tugged at him, "Hey! What do you see? ”

Lantern Xiao waved her hand to signal me not to speak, and then glanced inside the coffin again.

I didn't know why, so I turned on my flashlight and looked inside the coffin, and through the gap in the coffin, I saw that there seemed to be no body inside. This discovery also puzzled me, although I am not a professional inverted bucket, but I still know the use of coffins, such a large coffin can not be placed here for decoration!

I turned my head to look at Lantern Xiao, "Have you ever seen this kind of coffin before?" ”

Lantern Xiao groaned for a moment, "I've seen it, and some well-dressed mounds are like this." ”

I asked, "What do you mean, this is a well-dressed mound?" ”

Lantern Xiao shook her head, "The Yiguan Tomb is because the body cannot be obtained, so it has to be used as a last resort for relatives to remember and commemorate." To put it bluntly, the mound is a last resort, mainly to keep a memory. However," Lantern Xiao pointed to the surrounding environment, "make a well-dressed mound in this place, and give a memento to whoever will come here to worship." The ancients paid attention to the roots of the leaves, this place is not a place where people live at all, how can it be the root! At the very least, this mound shouldn't be here. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the people in this coffin are descendants of this tribe earlier, so they ...... themselves after death" I didn't finish my words, and I didn't feel quite right, "Then what do you think is going on?" ”

Lantern Xiao rubbed her hands, "This is simple, just open the coffin and take a look." ”

"This," although I myself was also very curious about this matter, I felt that it was better to have more than one thing, so I said: "Lantern Festival, forget it, let's not make trouble!" ”

Lantern Xiao stretched out his hand and took out the sapper shovel in his bag, "I said Zhuo Ran, you still asked me not to cause trouble, this way is all about messing with me, now it is a knife to stretch out and shrink the head, there are more lice and you don't feel like biting, and you don't feel worried if there are more creditors, even if you don't open the coffin now, you can't keep the one inside for a while, come out to find us yourself." If you want me to say, now you can make more money, and you will feel a loss when the time comes! ”

Lantern Festival, this kid Rory said a lot, that is, the last sentence said what was in his heart, isn't it just for the underworld!

I don't think this situation can be stopped, so it's better to just let him go!

So I helped Lantern Xiao turn on the flashlight, and Lantern Xiao carefully checked around the gap in the coffin lid, and after making sure that there was no mechanism, he stuck in with a sapper shovel. Because the coffin lid had been shaken open by a gap just now, it was pried aside by Lantern Xiao in three times and two times.

At this time, the situation inside the coffin is completely displayed in front of our eyes, and it is clear at a glance.

As we just saw, there is no body in this coffin, which makes us feel at ease, that is, the lid of this coffin is indeed shaken open, not opened by the contents of the coffin.

But one thing is a little weird, this coffin is very complete except for the body. Anything I'm talking about is really very detailed, even the wrenches on the fingers and even the crown on the head are placed in the corresponding position. It looks quite weird in this way, like a transparent person in an American movie. If it weren't for the deflated boots of those clothes, I would have really thought the body was invisible.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but say, "This can't really be a well-dressed mound!" You look at the clothes and pants are all available! These are probably the relics of the deceased! ”

Lantern Xiao seemed a little nervous, "No, it won't!" These should not be the relics of the deceased, but, but should be posthumous! ”

"Relic after death?" I didn't understand, "What do you mean?" ”

Lan Xiao pointed to the clothes and shoes, "Look at these clothes and rings, even if they were so strong just now, they didn't fall apart. ”

After Lantern Xiao said this, I reacted, "Indeed, even that little wrench is still standing at the bottom of the coffin." But why is that? ”

"It's because they're all firmly glued to the coffin."

"Glued to the coffin? What is glued with? ”

Lantern Xiao stared at the clothes tightly, and gently spit out two words: "Corpse oil!" ”

"Corpse oil? What is it? ”

"Corpse oil is a period of time after death, due to the loss of the body's absorption and metabolism ability, and the addition of corpse decay, so that some oil oozes out of the skin to form corpse oil! You look at the clothes at the bottom of some of the coffins, all stuck to the dried corpse oil. Lantern Xiao explained.

"That is!" I suddenly realized what Lantern Xiao wanted to say, and a cold sweat broke out on my back when I thought of it, "You mean that there was originally a corpse in here." ”

"That's right!" Lantern Xiao nodded, "But where did the corpse go now?" ”

"Maybe, maybe someone carried it away!"

Lantern Xiao shook his head, "Impossible, if you carry away the corpse, you will inevitably move these clothes, once these clothes are removed from these corpse oil, and there are no more corpses, then it will definitely not stick!" ”

"Maybe it's the corpse that's decomposed!" I'm trying to figure out what can explain this.

"Even if the flesh is rotten, the bones should still be there!"

"This," I couldn't give any other reason for a moment.

"Then there's only one possibility!" Lantern Xiao opened his mouth and said: "That is, it turns out that the corpse in here disappeared by itself for some reason!" ”

"This, how is this possible!" I think it's even more fantastical than a fantasy blockbuster!

"I don't think it's possible, but the facts are right in front of us, can you think of any other possibilities besides this reason?"

I opened my mouth and closed it helplessly.

Lantern Xiao circled around the coffin two more times, and reached out to get a jade wrench inside the coffin. I hurriedly waved my hand, "Stop!" This coffin is so weird, let's not take it! ”

"You don't understand this, do you?" Lantern Xiao pinched the wrench and looked at it, "Now there is no body in this coffin, that is to say, the things in this coffin are now ownerless, so I took it!" ”

"Don't you feel disgusted with corpse oil on it?"

"Disgusting?" Lantern Xiao smiled, "Although these oils sound terrible, but if you think about it, at least it has no chemical ingredients gutter oil!" Go back and wash it, absolutely good stuff! You look at the color, this texture, take out at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. With that, Lantern Xiao put the wrench into her backpack.

I didn't expect this kind of thing to be so valuable, so with the four pieces that Lantern Xiao dug up on the outer wall of the coffin just now, this kid must have made a lot of money now! No wonder he looks like he's in a good mood.

Suddenly, I saw a wooden box inside the coffin, above the deceased's hair crown. My heart moved, because I had already found a wooden box on the back of the stone door that had just entered the tomb. So I'm more sensitive to this kind of thing. I reached out and picked up the wooden box, this wooden box was similar to the one just now, could it be the same batch?

When the wooden box was opened, there was a roll of brocade silk inside. I'm glad to see this kind of textual stuff, and this kind of account is much more intuitive than those who look at pictures and speak. I carefully opened the brocade silk, for fear that it would be broken over time, but fortunately it was still relatively well preserved.

The Lantern Festival also came over, and we were deeply attracted by the content on the brocade silk at the same time.

The content on this brocade silk is roughly like this: during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the Faqiu Gate accidentally discovered the tomb here. After exploring, it was found that this was the legendary place of the heavenly coffin. Legend has it that there is a huge secret in this heavenly coffin place, and if you can understand this secret, you can look at the eternal world and look at the way of heaven. It is such a legend that has always been known only to the leader of the Faqiu family, and the shadow of Faqiu, who is on an equal footing with the leader. And what the secret of the Heavenly Coffin Land is is unknown to anyone.

Now that he has found the place of the heavenly coffin, he is only one step away from that earth-shattering secret, how can the Faqiu Sect, which is in decline, give up.

The leader of Faqiu back then was really a genius, and he really saw some doorways. As for what these doorways are, they are not mentioned in this brocade. It's just that the stakes are high, and if it doesn't work out, it will be a good thing. At that time, the shadow of Faqiu tried his best to dissuade him, thinking that the time was not ripe, and the leader of Faqiu thought that the opportunity could not be lost. As a result, the shadow of Hair Hill and his wife were forcibly imprisoned, and both husband and wife were killed.

The leader of Faqiu poured all his efforts, but in the end failed, not only suffering heavy casualties, but also causing changes in Faqiu's bloodline. The Faqiu Gate has since decayed. Therefore, the leader of Faqiu blamed himself and only wanted to die. However, before the deadline, there were major discoveries, so clues and tokens were left here, so that future generations could get it and revive the prestige of Faqiu.

The content on this brocade is very brief, and it is also a little unbelievable. Many key places are not explained, according to the content on this brocade, coupled with the inscription on the stone wall next to it, I speculate that the person in this coffin should be the leader of Faqiu back then, but I don't know what happened to him back then, even the body disappeared.

Lantern Festival and I couldn't help but look at each other.
