"That, eldest sister, this is my phone number, leave you 100 yuan, if you see this person, please call me, if you really don't see it, this money will be the cost of telling me a story today."

"Ouch, that's too much."

"Not much, not much."

"The young man is quite rich, so I'll keep an eye on you, big sister."

"Okay!"

The tape is blank here for a few seconds.

"On April 26, 1998, Mr. Gong asked me to call back, probably because I was contacted by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and he was very efficient."

Then the sound of a phone call came from the tape.

"Mr. Gong, there's news from the Cultural Affairs Bureau?"

"Well, you make a note of their phone number, you need to contact them on the phone, someone is dedicated to answering your questions. I can only help this extent, mainly because I don't have many acquaintances."

"That's it. When should I contact them?"

"I hung up the phone, you can just contact directly."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Gong, I have a few more things to ask you."

"Oh, you say."

"Was there a major traffic accident in the eastward direction of Xuan Yin Road in 1995? Do you remember that seven people died?"

"Yes, it's only been three years, and there was such a big accident, can you not be impressed.

Why, you found out that this has something to do with these things at the crossroads?"

"Almost."

"But in that accident, except for one deceased, whose head was crushed and lost, the heads of the other deceased were all there, so I didn't mention it last time."

"It's okay, do you remember why the car that had the first accident in that accident overturned, and what was the cause of the accident?"

"The car that was the first to crash in the accident ...... Come to think of it, the driver of the car died, and the co-driver was seriously injured, and he was later rescued.

After the co-pilot woke up, we made inquiries and he said that the driver braked suddenly, they were fast, and then they flipped over.

He didn't know what was going on at the time, but a second before the accident, he heard the driver say "", and the car had an accident, and he felt that the driver had seen something and made an emergency brake to avoid it."

"The driver didn't drink and drive?"

"No, no, looking back now, that accident is quite bizarre."

"Then there was another accident, which was a big truck that crashed into the funeral procession, why did that car get out of control?

Also, there were a lot of accidents on that section of the road in those days, and those drivers said that they saw people sitting on the ground without heads, is there such a thing?"

"Where did you know that there is such a thing, and it's really evil.

When we were investigating, the driver said that he saw a man in a yellow robe sitting on the ground in front of him on the left, and he rushed into the funeral procession on the right in order to avoid the emergency wheel.

The accident was very tragic, and the people behind and the coffin carried the coffin collided and killed 9 people.

Originally, we don't usually believe this kind of rhetoric, it's all an excuse to evade responsibility, but before him, there were many minor accidents on that section of the road, and those drivers said that they saw a man in a yellow robe sitting on the ground, and there was no head, so this matter is quite evil.

We couldn't explain what that was going on. Later, I found someone to conduct a road survey and vehicle inspection, but I didn't find anything, let alone see any headless yellow-robed people sitting on the ground, so this matter was like that.

Later, I heard that the family of a car accident invited a group of monks to go there to recite sutras, and I really haven't heard of anyone who has encountered such strange things again."

"Then there is another thing, that is, in 1985, a resident of a residential bungalow on the side of the road crashed into a car many times, do you know about this?"

"Haha, I understand, this is evil in our bureau. Those cars don't hit any house, only other houses.

The road condition and the road surface are good, and the driver is right, too

Often, when he was about to arrive at his house, the car skidded and lost control, you say strange or not, we sent someone to check that everything was normal.

And God, the family couldn't stand it and moved away, so there was no car to crash into it."

"Okay, Mr. Gong, I don't have anything to ask."

"Okay, then you can call the Cultural Affairs Bureau."

"Okay."

The tape is blank for a few seconds.

"Click! …… ...... "Click... Click... Click... Click... Click... Click... Click" (the sound of continuing to press the phone button after hanging up the phone)

"Hey?"

"Hello, Director Gong told you, I'm investigating something here, I have to trouble you and ask you something."

"Anyway, you ask, I'll try to cooperate."

"I want to know, in 1985, when the Shade Road was built, a lot of ancient corpses were excavated, and an iron urn was dug up, can you tell me more about this, and by the way, what was in the iron urn?"

"Oh, this thing. That section of the road used to be an ancient battlefield during the Ming Dynasty, and it was normal to dig up ancient corpses, but there were more of them, so the government later funded the construction of a museum to store these remains.

The iron urn you mentioned is worth mentioning.

We received news that we had dug up ancient corpses from road construction and asked us to send someone over to see what to do.

At that time, the people over there did not mention that something else had been dug up, so when I went, I saw that there was also an iron urn dug up, and I knew that it might have just been dug up.

But the lid of this iron urn was shoveled off, and it was full of black liquid, and we preliminarily judged that it was a liquid mixed with corpse liquid and humic acid, and at the same time, it was also seen that this was an urn burial, which was a form of burial with an urn as a coffin, also called urn coffin burial.

The two workers who found this thing at the scene said that they accidentally shoveled off the cover, anyway, I don't believe what they said, one of them had wet sleeves, and he also said that there were corpses inside, isn't this a joke, it was full of black soup, how did he know if he didn't stick it in.

We ignored these two people for a while, and asked our colleagues to investigate, and found that there was indeed an ancient corpse sitting in the iron urn, and it was a tanned corpse, that is, this corpse was not decomposed, just like the Mrs. Xin Chai in Mawangdui.

At the same time, we also judged that the two people at the scene may have just opened the lid and reached in to touch something valuable, but they touched the dead person, so they didn't touch anything in while they were afraid.

We did criticism and education on the spot, and these two people didn't speak, and that's it.

Then we collected the liquid from this urn into a bottle and carried it back to the bureau."

"Wait a minute."

"Smack~" Qin Ding put in the fourth tape.

"Alright, you go on."

"When we moved back, we found that not only did there be tanned corpses in this urn, but the whole thing was a bit special.

First, this urn is made of iron, and generally this burial method is to use clay to fire pottery, and it has the scale of a tomb, but from the scene, it seems to have dug a deep pit and buried it.

However, because it is made of iron, the mouth of the lid was also poured to death, and the liquid in it is not necessarily anything, it may be some kind of embalming substance, so the corpse does not rot.

Second, there was a corpse in the urn, but, strangely, the corpse had no head. In ancient times, people paid attention to keeping a whole corpse, and burial without a head was generally regarded as having no afterlife.

Thirdly, the absence of a soul hole on the lid or at the bottom of the urn is a symbolic thing that accelerates the reincarnation of the dead.

Of course, the iron urn was full of black liquid, and the corpse was not decomposed, which was enough to show that it had no leaks. However, it is indeed a little strange to bury people in iron urns.

Our colleague has studied this aspect, and he explained that the corpse in the urn cannot become a whole corpse because it has no head, so according to ancient superstitions, this person cannot be reincarnated, so it is reasonable that there is no soul hole.

In addition, this kind of urn is used to bury the corpse, probably in order not to decay.

After that, we talked about the ancient corpse

conducted research and searched for his identity.

When the ancient corpse was removed, he was still wearing clothes, and to our surprise, he was wearing a yellow monk's robe.

This shows that this corpse was a monk before his death, which reminds us of the urn burial jar that many monks in history will use after their death, commonly known as sitting urn.

However, the monks use this form of burial, which is generally kept dry, so that the body does not decay and can maintain its original appearance, and the body is cultivated into a golden body.

But the corpse was soaked in liquid and had no head, so it seemed a bit mysterious.

We processed this ancient corpse and found that the skin of the entire corpse was still elastic, and the internal organs were also well preserved, which was similar to the female corpse unearthed in Mawangdui, which was a tanned corpse.

But there is a pattern tattooed on the skin behind this ancient corpse, which looks a little weird."

"What pattern?"

"It's a pattern of a Dao Symbol, but I don't know which school of Dao Charm it is, and I don't know what it does.

If this ancient corpse was a monk before his death, and the back was tattooed with a Taoist pattern and a Taoist symbol, it is worth guessing.

Is it some kind of Taoist way to keep the body from rotting? Or is he actually a Taoist priest, but he was buried in a monk's robe, or ...... Anyway, there are many possibilities, so I won't go into them all.

In order to solve this mystery, we also took photos of Taoist symbols to show Taoist people to identify, but no one knew what kind of talisman it was, let alone the purpose.

However, there is an old Taoist priest who reminds us not to touch this ancient corpse casually, and not to paint flowers or study the pattern, saying that the pattern may be a lost Taoist talisman that is used to suppress the corpse, and also told us not to display this ancient corpse, so as not to invite any trouble.

To be honest, the old Taoist priest is quite reasonable, but those of us who are engaged in cultural relics and archaeology advocate science, so we are skeptical.

Besides, the technical means in the bureau were still very backward at that time, and there was not much information to study in depth what the meaning and function of the talisman was, and the headless corpse was indeed a little bad on display, and in the end, I was afraid that something would go wrong and then take responsibility, so I put the iron urn and the ancient corpse in the basement.

Anyway, to put it bluntly, the Ancient Battlefield Museum is just to find a suitable place to place those ancient corpses, and the research value is not very high."

"Hasn't the identity of this headless ancient corpse been found out?"

"That's not easy to look up. Except for this ancient corpse, nothing was found in the iron urn about its identity.

However, according to the style of the monk's robe, it was a unique monk's costume during the Ming Dynasty, so we looked for some clues from some local county records and recorded history books at that time.

Not to mention, in the end, we found a description in a Ming Dynasty Fuzhou County Chronicle.

It is said that in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, a patrol came here to investigate in the garrison and found a deed that was very bad in nature.

The general involved was named Tong Henian, who claimed that he had beheaded countless heads and brought them back one by one, but the faces of these people were destroyed and could not be identified.

This inspector felt strange, and had already figured out the details in advance, so he took this man back to the battlefield with him, and dug up the corpses of the so-called enemies he killed and buried, and the results were all headless corpses of the Ming army, and the number was terrifying."
