The level of decay of this plank is not too high, which may have something to do with the unique soil of the corpse farm. The wooden board was polished very smoothly, but there were many scratches on it, Chen Ziyang took the wooden board and turned it over, and he saw that the other side of the wooden board was very smooth.

By the light of the bonfire, Chen Ziyang looked carefully, and the smooth side of the plank could slightly reflect the flames of the bonfire. After touching this side with his fingers for a long time, Chen Ziyang saw that the smooth side of the board was painted.

But this paint was different from the paint he had seen before, it was not paint. This lacquer is light brown, and after putting the wooden board near his nose, after smelling it carefully, Chen Ziyang vaguely smelled a sour smell. "This board is painted with lacquer?"

"Urushi? What is Lacquer? Seeing Chen Ziyang's focused expression, Li Bojian couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Urushi is natural paint, also called raw lacquer, which is made by boiling the sap extracted from the inside of the lacquer tree. Natural lacquer is one of the three treasures of our country, have you ever heard of it: tree cutting lacquer, silkworm spinning, bees making honey. The tree cut lacquer here refers to the lacquer.

"Zhuangzi: The World" once had 'Gui is edible, so cut it, lacquer can be used, so cut it.' '. Lacquer has anti-corrosion, strong acid resistance, strong alkali resistance, moisture-proof, insulation, high temperature resistance, soil resistance, etc., natural lacquer is recognized as the king of coatings in the world.

Shaanxi is also one of the production areas of natural lacquer, Ankang natural lacquer is produced in Ankang, Shaanxi, with high urushiol content, sour fragrance, good brightness, dry and stable. I just smelled a sour smell on this wooden board, and it seems that this wooden board is indeed painted with lacquer from Shaanxi. ”

"What's so strange about the paint on the boards, are you making such a fuss?"

"Are you scared stupid? Or did you break your brain when you fell, you think, we've walked so far through the tomb up there, and we haven't seen anything like that.

The wooden planks are all artificially processed, and the wooden planks are also painted with artificial lacquer, which means that there were traces of human beings here. Where did you get these planks? ”

Li Bojian pointed to the darkness in front of him and said to Chen Ziyang: "It's not far ahead, when I fell down, I wanted to look at the surrounding environment, and took two steps forward, there should be a lot of such planks." ”

After resting for a while, Chen Ziyang felt that his body was not so painful, so he took the headlamp and walked to the place pointed by Li Bojian. There are indeed some wooden planks scattered on the ground, some are covered with a layer of floating soil, some are inserted in the soil, the scattered planks are large or small, but a few pieces can always be seen within a few meters, so Chen Ziyang picked up a few more pieces and walked back.

After looking at the front and back of these planks, Chen Ziyang took one of the planks and looked at it carefully. On the lacquered side of the board is also painted a black pattern, which looks like a very fat, very bloated comma.

After touching it with his hands, Chen Ziyang did not feel any scratches or nicks on the edge of this pattern, it seems that this pattern was first painted on the wooden board, and then a layer of lacquer was painted on it. After looking at it for a while, Chen Ziyang let out a long sigh.

"What's the matter, is there anything unusual about this plank?" Li Bojian didn't expect Chen Ziyang to be able to see so many things from a painted wooden board, and at this time, seeing Chen Ziyang looking at this wooden board for a longer time, he knew that Chen Ziyang must have found something again.

"You come and see this pattern, it's an auspicious cloud pattern."

After taking the board, Li Bojian looked at the big and fat comma carefully, she couldn't associate this comma with the auspicious cloud pattern in her impression.

"I know that auspicious cloud pattern is a kind of auspicious pattern, the painting is a simple cloud, a few years ago when our country held the Olympic Games, the pattern on the torch is auspicious cloud pattern, but it seems to be not close to the edge at all, the two look fundamentally different, there is no slightest connection."

"What you said is not wrong, but the auspicious cloud pattern is also divided into many kinds, representing different meanings, the most common, the most common is the kind of auspicious cloud pattern you said, although the line is very simple, only a few strokes, but the outline of the cloud is very beautiful, the kind of auspicious cloud pattern represents auspiciousness.

But this one is different, this kind of auspicious cloud pattern is called dark auspicious cloud pattern, this kind of auspicious cloud pattern has only one use, that is, it is painted on the coffin, to bless the deceased to be able to go smoothly after arriving in that world, or there are some other meanings. ”

"You mean...... This plank is...... Is it a coffin board? After saying this, Li Bojian was so frightened that he threw the wooden board in front of Chen Ziyang, and then took a few steps back cautiously. It seems that if Li Bojian had known that the wooden planks she picked up were coffin boards, she would never have built this bonfire, even if she would rather freeze to death than touch these things.

"What's so scary about the coffin board, it's just a wooden board, what you should be afraid of is what's inside the coffin."

"Is there something in the coffin?" When she said this, Li Bojian almost jumped to say it, and then she hurriedly looked left and right, for fear that something would approach here, after all, the black shadows just now had caused her too much damage.

"That's what I said, don't get so excited, the coffin is broken, how can there be anything inside." After saying this, Chen Ziyang's eyes rolled a few times, and he felt as if he had overlooked something. Then Chen Ziyang hurriedly caged these wooden planks together, and looked at them carefully one by one, and at this look, a trace of cold sweat broke out on Chen Ziyang's forehead.

The thickness of these planks is not very thick, and by today's standards, these are thin-skinned coffins. According to the current burial specifications, the richer the person, the more status, and the status of the person, the more valuable the coffin they use.

This value is reflected in two aspects, the first is that the use of coffins should be exquisite, and the wood used should be scarce.

Another aspect of value refers to the size of the coffin, the larger the volume of the coffin, the thicker the thickness of the coffin, so that such a coffin can be matched with a person of status. And a thin coffin board like this is generally used by people with poor family backgrounds, and it doesn't cost much to buy a coffin like this.

However, what surprised Chen Ziyang was not the thickness of these coffin boards, but the way the coffin boards shattered. Because when he was making the scabbard for the Xuanming Ancient Sword before, Chen Ziyang deliberately went to the neighbor's carpentry room and followed the carpenter who had studied for a few months, so he also knew a little about wood. Because of this, Chen Ziyang was able to judge from the fractures of these wooden boards that the reason why these coffin boards were broken was broken by the force on the side that was not painted.

The coffin board is divided into two sides, one side is painted with lacquer, and the other side is the primary color of the wooden board, and when the coffin is made, it is painted on the outside, and it is not painted on the inner wall of the coffin at all.

This was originally a corpse breeding ground, the corpse buried here is not easy to decay, and it is very easy to become a zombie, and the coffin is destroyed from the inside, Chen Ziyang can also think about it with his heels, the corpses in these coffins should be fraudulent corpses, all of them have become zombies, and looking at the fractures of these wooden boards, the strength of these zombies is very large.

Chen Ziyang showed a solemn expression, but in order not to worry Li Bojian, he hurriedly threw these planks into the bonfire that was about to be extinguished, and at the same time did not tell Li Bojian about his findings, but simply packed up his belongings, and at the same time put the Xuanming Ancient Sword beside him.

Calculating the time, it was almost noon, Chen Ziyang raised his head, looked at the black earthen wall, and still didn't find the gap where the two people fell, and he didn't know what happened to the people who were following him, and where those black shadows went, it would be great if the people who were following him met those black shadows, and he would save himself the trouble of dealing with them.

The two of them rested for a while, drank some water, ate some things, and after resting almost, Chen Ziyang saw that this small pile of bonfires was about to go out, so he discussed with Li Bojian, it is not a way to just stay here, or to find a way to continue to walk forward, even if there is no way to find relevant clues, then it is good to find an exit.

On the surface, Chen Ziyang is very calm, but he deliberately pretended to be in order not to worry Li Bojian, Chen Ziyang's biggest worry now is that since he fell into this black soil space, he has never felt the wind again.

It seems that this mysterious space is independent and not connected to other places, and I don't know if this is the case. If you can't feel the wind, there is no way to judge the direction of the robbery hole that the two people dug before, so the two of them are completely lost.

Because he knew that these wooden planks were broken coffin boards, Li Bojian became scared again, and when he walked forward, he kept holding Chen Ziyang's arm, and he didn't want to let go. Chen Ziyang couldn't go, and he didn't go, so he had to take a compromise and let Li Bojian hold the flashlight, and he used his right hand to hold the Xuanming Ancient Sword.

In addition to the headlamp, Chen Ziyang also has two flashlights in his backpack, but because he doesn't know how long he will be looking here, it is better to save some flashlight. Now the brightness of a headlamp is enough.

Since there was no clear destination, and he didn't even know where to go, Chen Ziyang had an idea, he planned to follow the fragments of these wooden planks, find the place where these coffins were placed before, and see if he could find something. Although there is a certain danger in this way, and he may encounter zombies, Chen Ziyang feels that he is still very sure of dealing with some zombies.

So he stared carefully at the scattered pieces of wood on the ground, and from the way they were arranged, he simply deduced the direction in which the planks were bursting, and then walked in that direction. After a while, Chen Ziyang found the place where the first coffin was placed.

A two-meter-square plank was placed on the ground, but half of the plank had been buried by floating earth. With this plank as the center, there are some broken planks scattered around, some of which are inserted in the earth. The closer you get to this flat plank, the more broken planks there are, and it seems that this flat plank should be the bottom of the previous coffin.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang verified his previous speculation that the coffin was indeed broken from the inside. Then the things in the coffin are too powerful, it can make this coffin shatter like this, and the fragments burst out so far, even if it is a thin-skinned coffin, but it is definitely not a simple thing to break the coffin into so many pieces.

On the fragments of several of the coffin panels, that dark auspicious cloud pattern is also painted. However, Chen Ziyang can see from the arrangement of these wooden planks that the broken coffin is not just this one.

Walking to the flat plank, Chen Ziyang carefully cocked the plank. There was no mechanism underneath the coffin, it seemed that the coffin had only been placed here, and there was nothing around the bottom of the coffin except for broken wooden planks.

Usually the inside of the coffin will be covered with some bedding, and there will be some simple burial goods, even if there are no burial goods, there should always be bedding or something, and the deceased should always wear clothes. Even if it is relatively old, these things have rotted, and it is impossible to completely disappear, and there will always be some traces.

And this is also a corpse breeding ground, which is unusually dry, and the things placed here are very non-perishable, which is even more wrong. Judging from the way the coffin was broken, the previous coffin definitely contained something, but where did the body in the coffin go?

With such a question, Chen Ziyang carried Li Bojian on his shoulder, and carefully walked forward along the traces of these wooden boards. The air here was very dry, and it was affected by nervousness, and after a while, sweat oozed from Chen Ziyang's forehead, but he didn't wipe it with his hands, but tightly clenched the Xuanming Ancient Sword in his hand.

After walking some distance further, Chen Ziyang found the bottom of the second such coffin, followed by the third. There are more and more pieces of wood scattered on the ground around, and even in a few places, two or three wooden planks are piled up together, and the bottom of these coffins appears more and more frequently, and the distance between the bottom of the two coffins is getting closer and closer, it seems that the coffins placed here before are very dense.

At this time, the headlamp light in Li Bojian's hand suddenly illuminated something, although the light of the headlamp flashed, but Chen Ziyang vaguely saw the whole picture of the object, as if it was a corpse lying on the ground.
