The principle of Chinese lost wax casting technology originated from the incineration method, which was first seen in the middle and late Shang Dynasty, and this technology gradually died out after the emergence of the non-normal line lost wax method. The tomb of Zeng Marquis B in Suixian County, Hubei Province, the bronze statue and plate unearthed are the earliest lost wax castings known in China.

Xue Mei was quite surprised when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Lost wax method? Is there a way for you to open it? ”

I played around for a while and sighed, "This isn't your average thing, it might take some time." ”

"How long?"

"Two days at the least, half a month at the most."

"What? It's going to take so long? ”

"Don't make a fuss, it's not bad, if you encounter a special situation, I'm afraid the situation will be even worse!" I frowned and said, "I need to concentrate, if Wu Tiande comes to make trouble, I can't guarantee it!" ”

"This ......" Xue Mei naturally made a difficulty, because she wanted to ensure that Wu Tiande would not find me, it was impossible, as long as he found me, he must find fault.

Just as he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a voice came, "Miss Xuemei, are you sleeping?" I heard a sound inside, so I came to take a look! ”

"Oh, Mr. Wu, I'm already asleep." Xue Mei was about to stop him, but she didn't want to, Wu Tiande had already walked in, and she didn't mean to ask for advice at all.

Wu Tiande is scheming and suspicious by nature, since he has realized that something is wrong, he has to intervene in the water. I knew that I couldn't hide, so I didn't retreat, I played with the box in my hand, and sneered in front of Wu Tiande: "Boss Wu, it doesn't seem polite to come to a girl's room in the middle of the night!" ”

"Who are you?!" Wu Tiande didn't expect Xuemei's "Golden House Hidden Jiao", and was quite surprised by my appearance, "I still want to ask you, I am embarrassed to ask me at the girl's house in the middle of the night!" ”

"Everything comes first and comes, Miss Xuemei and I are in the way of you, don't forget, you have a family!"

"You!" Wu Tiande was angry, staring at him with big eyes, "You are ruthless!" ”

Of course, he cares more about the box in my hand.

"Oh, this moire brocade box is really a rare thing, I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still don't know where to start."

"Can you open this box?" Wu Tiande's eyes widened suddenly.

"I'm not sure." I shook my head, "This is a lost craft, and it must be from the hands of a master, the mechanism inside is in line with the theory of yin and yang gossip, and it doesn't even have a half a month, and you can't even touch the fur." ”

Wu Tiande immediately became excited after hearing this, his attitude took a 180-degree turn, and said with a smile: "I see that the two Yang Jin are outstanding, the little brother has a sharp face, a high nose and bright eyes, and the sword eyebrows are out of the sheath, the ancient Zhao Yun is just like this, Miss Xuemei has beautiful eyebrows and a beautiful jade face, and the two are really a perfect match." ”

Xue Mei avoided the topic and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, don't laugh." ”

Wu Tiande's eyes were blazing, "Miss Xuemei, I don't dare to talk nonsense, I have the kung fu to meet, and at first glance, the two of them are golden boys and girls, a match made in heaven." ”

At this time, a few people rushed in from outside the hospital, "Boss, the third aunt is gone!" ”

"What?"

Wu Tiandelang's eyes instantly flashed with a trace of unease, and asked, "You guys quickly tell me about the matter in detail!" ”

Unexpectedly, before the two of them had time to explain the situation, another person rushed in from outside, staggering, as if greatly stimulated.

"Boss, boss, no!"

"Don't shout, say, what's wrong!"

"Third aunt, third aunt, dead!"

"What?!"

That third aunt should be the old woman in the morning, she Mo Min died wonderfully, this thing is really incredible. However, Wu Tiande should not be pretending, his eyes showed a trace of consternation.

"How did the third aunt die, the corpse ...... Where is the body? ”

Then, the men carried the body of the third aunt up and placed it in the main hall of the old mansion.

"What should I do?"

Wu Tiande hesitated, "Two, what do you say is going on, how can people die well?" ”

I leaned over and looked closely, but I didn't see a trace of scars on the third aunt's body, only one thing was quite weird, that is, her eyes were wide open, as if she couldn't see death.

"The third aunt is afraid that she has seen something surprising in front of her."

"Surprising thing, there are no outsiders living in this village except for a few of us, besides, what else can surprise the third aunt." Wu Tiande was puzzled, "The third aunt has walked the rivers and lakes and read countless people, it makes no sense." ”

"I don't know."

"Brother, this third aunt died strangely, we have to guard against it, in this way, you still live with us, so that I can protect you!"

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief."

"Alas, I can't say that, I'm also thinking about the two of you." Obviously, Wu Tiande has already regarded me and Xuemei as a couple.

At this time, Xue Mei suddenly spoke, "Mr. Wu, the deceased is the greatest, I think it's better to deal with the third aunt's aftermath first!" ”

"Yes, yes, Miss Xue Mei is right. So how should this corpse be placed? ”

"Head to the northwest!" Xue Mei said.

"Find some dogs!"

"Where are the dogs?" Everyone was puzzled.

"What's the matter, I'll go if I tell you to go!" Wu Tiande raised his foot and kicked it.

And they did so.

It was getting dark, and the howling wolf was crying around the village.

After searching for a long time in the village, they finally brought two black dogs.

"You lead the black dog to the corpse. Remember, don't let the dog take off the leash and bite the carcass! ”

The men led the dog, and before they stepped into the threshold of the morgue, they saw the dog barking restlessly.

"Miss Xuemei, why is this dog crazy?" Wu Tiande was surprised, his legs trembled: "The corpse is so evil." ”

Xue Mei swept over everyone and said, "If you hear the voice of the third aunt at night, you must not pay attention to it!" Don't forget! Go back and go to bed early! ”

After speaking, Xue Mei said to me again: "You stay, I still need your help." ”

"Me? What can I do? "I'm confused.

Xue Mei no longer paid attention to me, just went into the old house alone, lit the lantern, bowed her head and pondered, and muttered earnestly: "The birds return to their nests at sunset and dusk, and there is no sound of birds tonight." The old eagle called the mourning ghost to settle down, and no crow corpse became hideous when he was buried......"

Somehow, crows and birds are most often heard screaming and flying overhead, but at this time, there is no trace of the birds, and the village is deadly silent.

Wu Tiande and the others were very scared, bowing their heads and being silent.

Black clouds gathered, erasing the last bit of starlight in the distant sky.

In the old courtyard, there was only a few glimmers of light in the mortuary wooden house, and the miserable white horse lantern reflected the dead trees of the wooden house twisted and hideous, and the light did not reach the corners, and it was so black that it was hairy.

At this time, Xuemei asked me to help.

In fact, I have always been quite surprised in my heart, these three aunts have extremely high kung fu, and they can salvage two people who have fallen into the water alone, and their strength is extraordinary, and there is no reason to die violently overnight. There must have been something wrong with the cause of her death. Moreover, Xue Mei's reaction is suspicious. Although she didn't have the time and motive to commit the crime, she took the initiative to take over the matter of removing the third aunt's body, which is completely unreasonable, isn't it asking for trouble.

But when you think about it, there is another inside story in this matter. Meimei is in this village. Wu Tiande and his entourage should have come to this village by chance, they chose to settle here in advance, because they took a fancy to the fact that this place has been deserted for a long time and is inaccessible. But the reason why this village has become like this is probably before they came here. And no matter how you look at this village, it looks like a copy of Mawanggou, the only difference is that the village here is empty.

Xue Mei is an important figure in the ancient Tibetan religion, and she should know the secret behind this, so that she has enough motivation. As for whether she did this for her own benefit or to harm others, I don't know.

I closed the courtyard door and entered the morgue.

Xue Mei took out a small jar of cinnabar, and asked me to go to the firewood room to boil two pots of boiling water and prepare wooden basins. She walked to the corpse by herself, looked the corpse up and down carefully, and saw that the third aunt's corpse had a black and blue forehead, and the bags under her eyes were protruding. ”

"You know 'cutting the bar'?" I deliberately pretended not to know.

"Is the water okay?"

"That's it!"

I boiled the water and poured it into a wooden basin.

At this time, Xue Mei took off the corpse's shirt, exposed her chest, and turned over to see the corpse patches on her back, which were a little different from the corpse spots, these hemp spots were very dense and green, and the corpse hemp in the femur humerus was connected together, and there were fluffy white hairs on it.

"This ......"

"Otherwise, it won't be long before the corpse will be wrinkled and peeled and chapped!"

As he spoke, the corpse really showed a chaotic and chaotic white corpse pattern, and some cauliflower-like pores grew in its cracks, and there were slight white hairs on the face. The corpse's eyes were wide open, the eye mask was gray, and there were stub white hairs between the eyebrows; The grin is torn, the tongue is long and sticky to the skin of the mouth, and although there are no corpse spots on the arms, the skin is withered and peeled off, revealing patches of white flesh.

I was quite surprised, "This third aunt has only been dead for so long, why do you have white hair on her body?" ”

"You must be wondering why I'm doing this, right?"

"How do you know?"

"Hehe, Lin Qian, although I don't know what your intentions are, but I never really believe in you, of course, you are the same, just as wary of me." Xue Mei pinched the bones of the corpse and said, "The corpse is full of protruding joints, and the third aunt should be Xin Jin's life." ”

"That's right, as I said, we take what we need, and we know each other."

"The five elements are divided into yin and yang, Geng is yang gold, and Xin is yin gold. If a woman's life is yin gold and widowed and old, there will be strange changes, yin killing is too heavy, she is the four pillars of the year, month and day, the heavenly stem should be Xin, and the time stem is B. ”

Xue Mei pinched her fingers and calculated, and according to the bones, she launched the eight characters of the third aunt.

"Fortune telling?" I opened my eyes wide, "What a trick!"

"You're not easy either!"

"In that case, then I'll be blunt, why did this village become like this?"

Xue Mei glanced at me and said: "You are really not simple, what you see is the essence of things, yes, this village has become like this, I do know about it, but don't worry, I didn't know in advance that Wu Tiande would stick a jar in advance, and I didn't know that he would bring me here, this village was destroyed by a terrible disease, everyone died, as for the third aunt, I think she should have seen something that shouldn't be seen, so she died!" ”
