Joint burial coffin?

This is not unusual, and it is very common.

Especially for the dead elderly, special attention is paid to 'life and death', which represents love, implying that they are buried together, and they can still be husband and wife in the next life, even if there is no afterlife, they can sleep together forever.

But Xu Tianchuan's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the two bodies buried together in the coffin.

Because of these two corpses, one big and one small!

The one on the left is an old man, because the tomb is very well preserved, so although the old man's body is rotten, it has not melted, that is, it has become a dry corpse, the face is gray and black, the facial features are sunken, only a thick face remains, and there are very deep wrinkles, and the white silver hair on the head is very neat, almost unmessy.

And the corpse was also wearing a yellow dress, but not a shroud, but a round-necked yellow coat embroidered with a round dragon pattern!

There are many kinds of yellow coats in the Qing Dynasty, such as the Qing Dynasty's official positions such as the Minister of the Guard, the Commander of the Guard, the Commander of the Guard, and so on, and there is another kind of special gift as a meritorious minister.

This kind of round-necked yellow coat belongs to the latter, which shows that he not only worked as an errand in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, but also received a special gift from the emperor!

In addition to the yellow coat worn on the body, the body was also covered with a red cloth embroidered with a peach pattern, and all the embroidery was made of gold wire!

"It's not easy! This old man is not simple! ”

Xu Tianchuan subconsciously took a breath, and exclaimed in his heart, although Xu Tianchuan had guessed the identity of the tomb owner in his heart before, thinking that the tomb owner had a certain identity, but seeing the yellow vest he was wearing was even more powerful than the previously predicted identity.

This was just a subconscious gasp, and the rancid smell immediately burrowed into the nasal cavity and rushed into the brain.

Vomit......

Chen Anna next to her couldn't stand the rancid smell anymore, and vomited wildly on the spot.

Xu Tianchuan felt that this foreign girl was a little disgusting......

Jiao San didn't have much of an impact because of this rancid smell.

For veterans of tomb robbers, smelling this smell has long been commonplace, and the body has adapted and become immune to this smell.

In addition to the corpse of this old man, look at the corpse on the right? It's a child! Judging by the body shape? At most seven or eight years old, wearing a pure blue? A dress without any embroidery? Generally, this kind of costume is worn by the little servants who have no status in the palace, and the male servants who are on errands in the palace? 100% of them are cleansed eunuchs.

This echoes the little eunuch who knelt down in the corner of the tomb and bowed to the red coffin.

Therefore, this child should be buried together, not together.

What to say? This tomb owner has the identity of an errand in the palace? After his death, he brought a little eunuch by his side, and continued to serve him 'below', which can barely be said to be in the past.

It's just that the body of the child on the right has not melted and is not decomposing? Almost intact? It's all black, especially the face, which feels like a purple black.

"Was it a lead burial?"

Xu Tianchuan subconsciously raised his eyebrows, feeling a little unlikely.

Because in the Qing Dynasty, this kind of yin funeral method was abolished long ago.

Besides, the child's hands on his chest? In his arms, he carried a rectangular wooden box inlaid with gold and red lacquer.

This is also the only object Xu Tianchuan saw in the coffin.

In general, both in that period and dynasty? The coffin of the tomb owner will place some favorite and commonly used things in his life as a burial companion.

But in the coffin in front of me, there is only such a gold-inlaid red lacquered wooden box? And he was tightly held in his arms by the child next to him.

This gold-inlaid red lacquered wooden box is very exquisite, judging from the lacquer color on the surface? Should it be baking paint? The gold jewellery is also extremely elegant? Beautifully shaped.

can enter Xu Tianchuan's vision, the exquisiteness and value of this thing can be imagined.

"Why is there no treasure in the coffin?"

Reis stared at a pair of big eyes, looking at the situation inside the coffin with a little disappointment, it seems that the tomb he robbed before has found a large number of burial goods in the coffin, otherwise it would not be this kind of reaction.

"Shopkeeper Xu, what do you think will be in this box?"

Jiao San, like Xu Tianchuan, was attracted by the box inside, and was very curious.

"I don't need to ask, it must be the most precious thing in life, there is no one, so the funeral goods are just like this."

Xu Tianchuan pulled the corners of his mouth, there is no doubt about it.

The most precious thing in life, and there is not one of them?

That's definitely a big baby, isn't it?

Reis next to him also understood the meaning from Xu Tianchuan's words, he directly endured the disgusting rancid smell, held his breath, leaned his upper body into the coffin, and reached out to take the gold-inlaid red lacquered wooden box that the child was holding in his arms.

Xu Tianchuan didn't stop it.

Lacey just broke a hand, and he was so anxious to touch gold, it seems that next time he has the opportunity, he will pick his other hand!

That is, because Lacey only has one hand, he didn't take the red lacquered wooden box out of the child's arms for a long time.

It's not that Les Taicai, but that the child's corpse is too tight with his arms around the red lacquered wooden box!

"Hmmm......"

With brute force, Lacey let out a nasal sound, and finally 'snatched' the red lacquered wooden box from the child's arms.

The gold-inlaid lacquered wooden box is not locked, nor does it have any hidden locks or entrances.

Reis, who got it, couldn't wait to open it.

But when the wooden box was opened, there was a huge gap between the hope and excitement that was originally full.

The contents of this box do not seem to be a big treasure, but a black thing that looks like a little finger.

"This ...... What is this? ”

Everyone was dumbfounded when they looked at the black thing in the box, although they didn't know what it was, but it didn't look like a valuable treasure.

Lacey even picked it up and looked at it with his eyes on it.

"Could it be some kind of elixir?"

Jiao San couldn't help but ask a question.

But Xu Tianchuan couldn't help but smile: "If it was really some kind of immortal medicine, the owner of the tomb would not have died." ”

"Shopkeeper Xu, then do you know what this thing is?"

Jiao San hurriedly asked Xu Tianchuan curiously.

Xu Tianchuan actually nodded, and with a confident smile on his face, he said, "This thing is Yanggen!" ”

"Yanggen?"

Jiao San suddenly didn't react, but then subconsciously looked down at his crotch.

"Huh...... Shopkeeper Xu, you shouldn't be joking, right? ”

Jiao San felt that this was too unbelievable, if he let himself think about it, even if he wanted to blow up his head, he would not have thought that this would be that thing!

"What's the joke about that."

Xu Tianchuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a light smile: "The identity of the owner of this tomb is very clear, he is a great eunuch of the Qing Dynasty!" The Qing Dynasty had a custom about eunuchs, after the eunuchs who entered the palace were cleansed, they needed to put the cut things in the oil pan and fry them, and they should be fried thoroughly, so that they could be preserved for a long time without rotting, and they would be treasured all the time, and they would be buried in the coffin together after death, so that they could continue to be reincarnated as adults in the next life, otherwise they would not be reincarnated in the next life! ”

It's no secret that this statement is made.

Now it is the beginning of the Republic of China, and there are still eunuchs alive, just grab it and ask it, and they must keep the thing he cut off well, waiting to be buried together, otherwise, don't think about reincarnating as an adult in the next life.

Although this is superstition, it is also the belief of every eunuch.

At the same time, this also completely solved the doubts in Xu Tianchuan's heart that this ancient tomb was not selected in feng shui.

As I said before, many people have superstitious thoughts, believing that a tomb is selected in a good feng shui treasure land and can protect future generations, so it is also a big deal to choose a feng shui treasure land for the ancestors.

But this is a eunuch, there are no descendants at all, and he still needs some feng shui treasures, so he just found a place to bury it, without sealing the soil, without erecting a monument, which also happened to play a role in preventing theft.

"I remember!"

Jiao San seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his thigh suddenly, and said: "Shopkeeper Xu, I remember, this Gejiazhuang next door did have a big eunuch more than a hundred years ago, and it was rewarded by the emperor at that time, and the scenery is infinite, even now, the old people in Gejiazhuang still know this eunuch, and at that time they did hear that this big eunuch was buried in the vicinity of Gejiazhuang after his death, but no one knew the exact location, I didn't expect to be bumped into by us." ”

"Well, that's right!"

Xu Tianchuan nodded again, and all this seemed to make sense.

"But ......"

Jiao San seemed to have some doubts in his heart, looked at the things in Lacey's hand, and asked, "Shopkeeper Xu, even if it has been fried, and it has been blown through, it doesn't make sense to be so small, right?" ”

As he spoke, Jiao San subconsciously lowered his head and looked at himself.

"Damn, this was cut off an hour later! You were born, and that thing grew so big, huh? ”

Xu Tianchuan couldn't help laughing and scolding, he didn't understand such a simple truth.

"Huh...... I think so. ”

Jiao San suddenly reacted.

"Mr. Xu, what did you two just say? I don't seem to understand what I hear? What is Yang Root? ”

Reis on the side listened to Xu Tianchuan and Jiao Sande talking, although he pricked up his ears to listen, but he still didn't seem to understand too much.

"Mr. Reis, Yang Root is a very valuable Chinese medicinal material, and there is a term called Yang Qi in our Chinese medicine, you should know it, right? This thing is the yang energy, aphrodisiac...... Right, right! It's an aphrodisiac! You take this, go back and chop it up to make tea and drink it, the effect is very good, and ten times a night after drinking it is definitely not a problem! ”

Jiao San hurriedly smiled at Reis's cunning hehe. --over--
