Volume 1 Chapter 12: The Corpse Tank

I always feel that my second brother only has money in his eyes now, and in the current environment, he can still only think about money.

All signs of this tomb indicate that the people buried inside should all be of the six-fingered tribe. In fact, there is one thing that the second brother has forgotten, that phantom silkworm is also an insect that only exists in the area of Xiangxi, and it must have been placed in this tomb by the Gu master of the Six-Fingered Clan.

Then we focused on this black gold box, which surprised several of us, why was there a black gold box in the coffin?

The black gold box depicts five dragons hovering over an alley, followed by several things that look like words, and a delicate lock on the front.

"Master Cao, can you open this box?"

"There's definitely no way to open it now, you have to have a special tool.... This kind of box forcibly breaks the lock to open, and the mechanism inside will be triggered, and the contents will be damaged. ”

Now the idea of opening the box was shattered, and we packed our things and prepared to go to the Backrooms.

After the lesson of the last encounter with the phantom silkworm in the tomb, this time I deliberately held the lighter in my hand and lit it in front of me from time to time to prevent my eyes from being squinted by the eggs of the phantom silkworm again.

Last time, I was lucky enough to encounter the white sand that happened to pass by, otherwise I met the tomb beast alone, and I didn't know how to run, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the tomb beast.

Out of the main room, our group walked into a corridor with the baby of Mo Lai just now.

This corridor is no more narrow than the previous graveyard, almost as wide as a person and a half, and we had to walk in a row in this corridor.

After walking a few steps, steps appeared in front of me, but I didn't expect the corridor leading to the back room to be upward.

The corridor was not long, and after walking about twenty steps, we appeared in a new burial chamber.

The new burial chamber is not large, and it is full of many picture scrolls, but it has already been completely oxidized due to oxygen leakage in the tomb. When we touch it with our hands, it turns into powder.

More of them are some paper funeral goods, which are worthless.

For the burial goods, in fact, before the Song Dynasty, the burial goods in the ancient tombs were very rich. It happened that in the Song Dynasty, the change of customs and the rampant tomb robbers, the general burial goods did not put many physical objects, and most of them became paper vessels.

The second brother sighed: "It's really unlucky, this tomb is from the Song Dynasty and didn't run away, and he doesn't have a fucking fart..... Fortunately, I opened the coffins just now, otherwise there were a lot of people on this trip, and I still didn't touch anything. ”

"Second master, don't we still have a tomb on our heads, it's not from the Song Dynasty, we have touched so many spiritual weapons..... I was afraid of that tomb beast before, so when I got out, I blew up this place with explosives, and then after a while, I sent someone to find those dead weapons that we lost. ”

I looked at Dawu with strange eyes, I was curious about what he was doing before he did this with my second brother, why did he blow up such and such a place at every turn?

I said, "How much explosives are you going to blow up here, and if the nearby residents find out, then they won't report us to Leizi?" ”

"Yes, Dawu, don't keep thinking about where to bomb it, use your brains more...."Master Cao echoed.

Dawu couldn't hold his face because of what we said, and glanced at his face.

In this backroom, in addition to some useless burial goods, there are also several large water tanks, like the kind used to hold water in the countryside.

Curious, I walked over to it, covered with wooden planks, and had no way of knowing what was inside.

Looking at these water tanks, I suddenly remembered a story my father told me when I was a child.

It is said that in the countryside, there is a corpse keeper who raises little ghosts in every village, and most of these corpse keepers are old people who are close to the age of sixties.

In order to survive, they searched for the corpses that had just been dead for seven days, peeled off the skins of the corpses, and left them in the water tank, and then smeared the water tank with lard, and then found children to put it in, and finally sealed the water tank.

Because there was no food or water in the tank, the children who were sealed inside had to lick the lard on the walls of the tank and eat the human skins that were still inside.

Seven days later, because the child ate human skin, the seven orifices were sealed by the unjust soul, and he was naturally refined into a little ghost.

At this time, the corpse keeper opened a gap in the mouth of the water tank and threw a fire into it, burning the imp to death.

It took 7749 days for the imp to be burned to death, and then the corpse keeper opened the water tank again and got a puddle of ashes after the imp was burned to death.

The corpse keeper rolls these ashes into paper cigarettes and smokes them every day, so that they can achieve the effect of prolonging life.

When I was a child, when I first heard my grandfather tell me this story, I was so scared that I didn't dare to leave the house for a month, for fear that I would be captured by the corpse keeper and used as a body to raise a ghost.

To get back to the point, we searched around the tomb but couldn't find an exit, and it seems that the only way out is to go back the way we came, and face the tomb beast again.

But the town tomb beast is no better than the blood corpse, the blood corpse may be able to be solved by Dawu and Baisha, but the behemoth of the town tomb beast is more than two meters high, and we can't solve it at all.

After thinking about it, the second brother didn't want us to go back the same way, so he could only study the layout of the ancient tomb with Master Cao again, trying to find a breakthrough again.

Bai Sha put his hand on the water tank, as if he wanted to open it.

Actually, I also want to see what's in this tank, because the story of the corpse keeper that my grandfather told me is also a shadow of my childhood.

With a dagger, Bai Sha rubbed the wooden board covering the water tank, and knocked it again, as if he wanted to hear if there was something inside or empty.

Soon, he lifted the cylinder head and looked inside, and then his pupils contracted violently, as if he saw something terrible.

Could it be that there really are imps?

I leaned over to look and saw a black mass inside, and although it had been dried, I could still tell that it was the corpse of a child.

I was horrified, this is really a corpse keeper's corpse tank?

Frightened, I opened the lid of a water tank, which was also the body of a child.

When the second brother, Master Cao, and Dawu saw this water tank, their faces also changed, and Dawu scolded: "The owner of this tomb is really a animal, and he doesn't even let go of the child, and he is sealed in this water tank!" ”

It suddenly dawned on me that everything in this tomb seemed to have something to do with immortality.

The peculiar Southern Dipper Six Star Array, among which there is a star monarch I remember is about immortality, and now raising little ghosts is also to continue life, and it is also a symbol of immortality.

Those of the Six-Fingered Clan worship the dragon, which in turn is a creature that has lived for thousands of years.

I opened the remaining water tanks, and in the last one, I found something unexpected....
