Chen Xianglin's question is also the doubt in my heart for so long.

There is nothing wrong with this shroud from the outside, it is no different from an ordinary shroud.

In this case, why this shroud can affect my fate, and why I need this shroud to borrow my life, this is indeed incomprehensible to me.

I took the shroud from Chen Xianglin's hand and examined it carefully, looking at it and touching it with my hands, just as I twisted the fabric of the shroud, I suddenly found that something was not quite right.

Generally speaking, clothes are single-layered fabrics, and autumn and winter clothes are double-layered fabrics, and there will be no other fabrics between the two layers of fabrics except for down jackets.

But this shroud is different, it feels extremely heavy when the fingers twist, and in addition to the two layers of fabric, there is also a relatively thick layer of material.

It stands to reason that the shroud is just the last set of clothes worn by the dead before cremation, just for the sake of looking good, and it has nothing to do with the cold.

In this case, why does this shroud still use three layers of fabric, is it possible that there is a problem with the sandwich in this shroud!

Chen Xianglin saw that I was bowing my head and not saying a word, as if I was thinking about something, so he said in a deep voice: "Chen Mo, have you found something?" ”

"Uncle Chen, you take a good look at the fabric of the shroud, this shroud seems to have a sandwich in addition to the inside and outside of the fabric, have you ever seen a shroud with a sandwich?" I looked at Chen Xianglin and asked.

Chen Xianglin was obviously stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said that he had never seen it, after all, the shroud was worn for the dead, there was no need to spend so much effort on the dead, and if the shroud was heavy, it would cause a large number of corpses to accumulate on the deceased's body, and the second would prolong the cremation time of the corpse.

In order to facilitate the burning of corpses, most of the shrouds are made of single-layer fabrics, which are just shrouds after death, and this kind of thing can not be made so complicated and exquisite.

Chen Xianglin suddenly looked up at me and said in surprise: "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the sandwich inside this shroud?" ”

"That's right, as the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, since ordinary shrouds can't be so heavy, it means that there is a problem in this shroud, there is no problem with this shroud from the appearance, since the problem is not in the face, it must be in the inside, and this shroud has a foul smell, I thought it was taken off from the dead man, but now it seems that the smell is likely to come out of the shroud, I'm going to find a pair of scissors to cut the shroud open, see what is inside!"

As I spoke, I turned around and walked to the cupboard, took out the scissors, picked up the shroud, and prepared to cut it.

But just as I was about to cut it hard, Chen Xianglin, who was sitting opposite, suddenly stood up and directly pressed my palm.

With a solemn face, he said: "Do you want to think about it again, this shroud is not only connected to your fate but also related to my brother's death, once this shroud is broken, what if this shroud is broken, then the secret in this shroud can no longer be solved!" ”

Hearing Chen Xianglin's words, I fell into a deep thought, he was right, there is a secret hidden in this shroud, if the problem is not in it, then this shroud will be destroyed by me, and it will be impossible to crack the secret when the time comes.

But just now Chen Xianglin and I have carefully inspected the shroud, and we didn't find anything wrong from the outside, if we continue to stalemate like this, maybe we will never find the secret hidden in the shroud, so it's better to give it a go.

After making up my mind, I looked up at Chen Xianglin, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't break it, you won't stand, if you don't try it, how will you know if the secret is hidden in the shroud, I know that my scissors may damage this shroud, but I promise you, no matter what the result is, I will help you investigate the cause of your brother's death." ”

Chen Xianglin saw that I had made up my mind and it was not good to continue to persuade me, so he was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll believe you once, I hope you don't let me down." ”

Seeing that Chen Xianglin agreed, I raised the scissors in my hand and aimed directly at the collar of the shroud, and then my thumb and index finger were forced, only to hear a click, and the shroud was directly cut by the sharp scissors.

After the shroud was cut, I hurriedly put down the scissors in my hand, and then lifted the two layers of fabric on the outside of the shroud, and looked down to see that there was indeed a layer of things mixed in the shroud, but this layer of things did not look like fabric, but like a layer of leather.

"Is there something in there, what is it?" Chen Xianglin's forehead was covered with sweat at this time, and it seemed that he was also very uneasy in his heart.

"There's something, it seems to be a layer of skin, and I can't tell what kind of skin it is." I looked at Chen Xianglin and said.

Hearing this, Chen Xianglin took the shroud in my hand, and after looking at it carefully, he then picked up the scissors and cut all the other stitching places of the shroud, and after the stitches around the shroud were cut, Chen Xianglin put down the scissors in his hand, and even lifted the outer layer of the shroud, and looked at it through the overhead light, the shroud was mixed with a piece of white flower skin, and the leather was also drawn with cyan juice similar to a map.

Seeing this, I stretched out my hand to stroke the skin, and found that it was slippery and greasy, as if there was a layer of grease, and I looked at Chen Xianglin in confusion and asked, "Uncle Chen, what kind of skin is this, why is it still slippery and greasy?" ”

Chen Xianglin took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight and shone it on the skin in front of him, he observed it carefully for a moment, and suddenly his body was shocked, and he was surprised: "This ...... It's human skin! ”

"Human skin! Are you sure? I looked at Chen Xianglin in disbelief and asked.

"Sure, this piece of human skin should be sewn from the skin of the front and back of the human chest, you look closely, there are still human pores on it." As he spoke, Chen Xianglin used a mobile phone flashlight to shine in the direction of human skin, and then pointed to me with his hand.

Looking in the direction of Chen Xianglin's finger, sure enough, there are indeed a lot of pores on the skin, almost exactly the same as the human body, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat when I see this, I didn't expect that the mezzanine inside this shroud turned out to be a human skin, who is so cruel that he will sew this human skin into the shroud, and why did he do it.

I told Chen Xianglin what I thought, but Chen Xianglin didn't seem to have any interest in why he used human skin as a sandwich, his eyes were fixed on the pattern of human skin, and he gestured with his hand while looking at him, and couldn't help muttering in his mouth.

"Uncle Chen, what is drawn on this person's skin, why can't you understand these words?" As I spoke, I looked at the patterns drawn on the human skin, and there were some tadpole-like characters around the patterns, which did not look like words handed down from ancient times, which made me confused.

Chen Xianglin heard this and glanced at the tadpole text next to the pattern, shook his head and said: "I don't understand these words, but I can see the pattern next to it, if I guess correctly, this pattern should be a map, as for the tadpole text written next to it, it should be the landmark of this map, it seems that the secret in this shroud is on this map, as long as we follow this map to find it, we should be able to crack the secret hidden in this shroud, but now the problem is that we can't understand this tadpole text, Since you can't read the text, you can't know exactly where the map is drawn, which is a bit difficult. ”

"It's so hard, what's so hard?" Just when Chen Xianglin was distressed, Ning Nanxi's voice came from outside the door, and when he turned his head, Ning Nanxi and Li Hai were walking in from outside the door.

After Ning Nanxi entered the house, he saw a look of surprise on his face when he saw the shroud that had been dismantled by us, and hurriedly looked at me and asked, "Chen Mo, are you crazy, why did you cut this shroud, didn't you say that there was a secret hidden in this shroud, if you ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Ning Nanxi suddenly found the human skin map spread on the table, and said in surprise: "What is this?" ”

While speaking, Ning Nanxi walked to the table and picked up the human skin map, and in an instant she found the anomaly in it, so she put it under her nose and sniffed it carefully.

"Human skin, I didn't expect that there is still a human skin hidden in this shroud, this is really a rare thing, what's going on with the map above?" Ning Nanxi asked puzzled.

"We haven't figured out what's going on on the map on the human skin, but Uncle Chen said that maybe we can crack the secrets in the human skin by following the route on the human skin map, but the problem we are facing now is that we can't read the words written on the map at all, and it's dense like tadpole text." I looked at Ning Nanxi and said helplessly.

Hearing this, Ning Nanxi glanced down at the tadpole text on the human skin map, shook his head and said, "I don't know the text on it either, but I have a way, maybe I can crack the text on it." ”

"What a way!" Chen Xianglin and I looked at Ning Nanxi excitedly.

"There are a lot of peerless solitary books hidden in the Xuanqing Gate, maybe there are explanations of these tadpole texts hidden in these solitary books, in my opinion, you might as well go back to the Xuanqing Gate with me, first, I will report to my father what happened during this time, and at the same time, I don't have to let him worry too much about my safety, secondly, we can look up the records in the door, see if there is an explanation of these words, if there is really none, you can also let my father think of a way, and now although my brother's condition is stable, I can't always let Li Hai watch, I want to take my senior brother back to Xuanqing Gate, where there are many disciples, it is easy to take care of him, and even if there is any change, there should be no problem with my father, this is a move to kill three birds with one stone, what do you two think? ”

"I have long heard that the head of Xuanqing Sect is a master of Taoism, I have heard the master talk about it many times, but I have never seen it, if it is my honor to meet this time, Chen Mo, what do you think?" Chen Xianglin turned his head to look at me and asked.

Now although I have found the human skin in the shroud, it is still useless to decipher the meaning of the tadpole text, and after some contemplation, I nodded and said: "Okay, then go with you to Xuanqing Gate!" ”

"You all go to Xuanqing Gate, so what should I do?" Li Hai, who was standing silent, asked.

"What to do, what should you do or what should you do, now the matter has nothing to do with you, you just go home and broadcast live, and I will delay you a lot of time during this time, if you don't start the live broadcast again, maybe there will be no one in the room." I looked at Li Hai and quipped.
