Chapter 481: Living Amber

At this time, it was still early and there was plenty of time, so Sun Xiao told us about the past.

He said: "As professional archaeologists, we do not need to excavate by hand, but are only responsible for the final cleaning, identification and recording of cultural relics. ”

"At that time, we hired a dozen locals to dig mounds. While they were digging the fourth burial pit, I was cleaning the third pit next door. ”

"As I was cleaning up, I suddenly heard a burst of exclamations and screams from Four, followed by someone shouting that something strange had been dug up."

"These people are all veterans of digging tombs for a long time, and they have seen a lot of strange things, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't make such a fuss."

"When I heard the noise, I rushed over and saw a scene that I will never forget."

"I saw a huge piece of amber wrapped in a woman!"

Sun Xiao shuddered, as if he was deeply immersed in memories.

"The woman died in a terrible state, her limbs were broken backwards, and she was holding a baby on her back, and the umbilical cord was still half hung on her belly, and it seemed that she had just been born."

"The woman's expression was unusually hideous and resentful, and it was obvious that as soon as she gave birth to her child, her limbs were broken, and her child was made into a transparent living amber!"

"As an archaeologist, I have seen many cruel methods of human sacrifice, but this is the first time I have seen such cruelty."

"Digging out this kind of thing quickly alarmed the entire archaeological team, and everyone talked about it, and they all asked each other what is the point of this amber? If it was just for the funeral, there would be no need to be so miserable. Could it be that this is the unique worship of faith in the ancient Dian Kingdom? ”

"After discussing for a while, I didn't come up with anything, and a few bold ones jumped into the tomb pit one after another, lying on the amber to check the rarity."

"Later, I don't know who proposed to bring the piece of amber up, and everyone agreed."

"When Amber was brought up, a group of people gathered around to take a closer look."

"Suddenly, I noticed that the surface of this amber was densely packed, like a spell."

"After a while, not only did I see it, but everyone saw it."

"Just as they were about to study what this pattern was, a dark shadow suddenly flashed, shouted that it was impossible, and raised its leg and kicked the piece of amber back into the burial pit."

"The Black Miao wizard invited by our archaeological team!"

He stared nervously at the piece of amber, his face pale, as if he had seen a flood beast.

"That Black Miao wizard does have some skills, and he usually handles a lot of problems for our archaeological team, and everyone is very convinced of him."

"Seeing his nervous look, we couldn't help but ask him what was going on."

"He didn't say much, he just said that the thing in the pit was very evil, and it had to be burned, and it had to be burned with spirits."

"In the face of his proposal, some people objected at that time, believing that the excavation of this amber would be of great help to the study of ancient Dian culture."

"Of course, there are also people who support burning it, after all, that thing makes people panic when they look at it."

"In the end, after everyone discussed, it was not up to us to decide whether to burn or not, and decided to report it."

"The above opinion is to stay, how can the things that have been dug up with great difficulty be allowed to be burned easily? Originally, there was little text and physical evidence about the ancient Dian Kingdom, and this amber just filled a gap. ”

"The wizard personally went to talk to the leader for a long time, but he never got back, and the leader made him evil instead."

"In the end, the wizard had no choice, so he called all the people who had touched the amber over, and gave them to wash their hands and eat something, and finally he said that if the people who touched the living amber would be all right after three or five days, he could try to get rid of the things in the amber, but if something happened to those people, the amber had to be destroyed, and he could not deal with it, and he told us that no one could touch the amber again during these three or five days."

"After only three days, the skin of those people began to dry up, and became as hard as the bark and stone shells of a tree, which was quite terrifying, and in another two days, the few who touched the amber of the living were all dead!"

"Seven people died at once!"

"Although human life was far less important than it is now, it was also seven living lives, and it was a very serious incident to die like this."

"This caused a huge panic, many of the workers quit their jobs and left, and the rest of them went to work together to demand that the amber be burned."

"The superior leader also sensed the evil nature, so he let the wizard watch and deal with it."

"The wizard told us to buy a lot of jars of spirits, poured them all on the amber and the corpses of the seven dead, and then set them on fire."

"The fire burned for the whole day, until the amber and the seven corpses were all reduced to ashes."

"Afterwards, we asked the wizard what the hell was amber? How could the woman inside die so miserably? ”

"The wizard said that when he was a child, he had heard the older generation of wizards say that at a certain time, there was a sorcerer who would practice a vicious sorcerer."

"They would find some women, or female slaves, or female prisoners, and put them in prison, and they would find jailers to rape them and make them pregnant, and then they would give the pregnant women a small pill, and that pill would be the cure for the disease."

"After being swallowed by women, they will burrow into the body of the child in their womb and use the child as a hole to live, and at that time, the child in the woman's womb can no longer be called a child, but a scab egg."

"At that time, the child was still alive and growing, and when it came time to give birth, someone would first break the limbs of the slave girl, but hold the 'scab egg' that had just been born and had not completely separated from the mother's body, and then pour the burned hot pine resin, or the boiling tree and the like, on the slave girl's body, so that together with the scab egg behind her, it was made into transparent living amber, and after the amber cooled, it was engraved with a soul talisman on the surface, and it became the appearance that everyone dug up."

"The reason why a woman's limbs are broken backwards is to increase her pain, and the soul talisman is a kind of talisman that can fix the soul of a person, and the amber is engraved with the soul talisman, which is equivalent to sealing the fear of the tragic death of a female slave, the grief of losing a child, hatred, curses and other resentful emotions in amber."

"In this way, this piece of amber becomes a man-made and resentful thing."

"And the eggs that have just been born by the slave girls, because the surface is wrapped in a hard shell, so the vitality is very strong, and they will not be easily scalded to death by the boiling pine resin, so that they will survive in that infinite resentment and become the most poisonous and powerful kind of the hemorrhoids."
