Volume 2: Snow Ridge Please Spirit - Haidong Imperial Mausoleum Chapter 254: Incense Corpse Rotting Veil
Thinking of this, the cat master picked up the flashlight and shone it at the gauze curtains around them.
The light shines on the surface of the gauze curtain, and the gauze curtain, which is as ordinary as the hazy yellow gauze, exudes gorgeous light spots, like a rippling colored rainbow halo on the surface of a shell.
If you hold it in your hand, it is light, soft and flexible, and it is not at all a feeling like ordinary fabric, and the touch is closer to the skin, as if you are touching a woman!
This kind of touch is good if it is really a woman, combined with the phantom of the red dress that Fang just saw, the gauze curtain immediately added a touch of weirdness, which shocked the back of the two people's heads.
The cat master took it in his hand and sniffed it, and then cut it with a dagger to look at the cross-section, and his face became worse and worse:
"The old man said that this dog emperor is not a thing, more ruthless than singing about the empty city plan, this thing is not a curtain at all, it is a human skin."
After listening to the words of the cat master, Yue Guanchao was so disgusted that his brows jumped, and he quickly loosened the soft gauze curtain: "Human skin? ”
"Yes, Yue Xiaoyou has ever heard of the fragrant corpse rotting yarn!"
This thing, Yue Guanchao has never heard of it, the cat master shines on this complex gauze curtain with a flashlight, and the disgust in his eyes is overflowing.
The incense corpse rotting yarn does not refer to silk fabrics, but gauze curtains made of human skin.
The ancients believed that the skin was the corpse's clothing, and if the bones and organs were mutilated and the body was incomplete, they could not enter reincarnation.
Even some nobles are greedy for skin, and will smear all kinds of secret medicines after death, in order to keep the body incorruptible and lifelike, in order to keep the skin intact, they do not hesitate to use thousands of gold to find golden jade clothes, corpse pearls, and incorruptible secret medicines.
Of course, it was only the power of the nobility that the body did not rot, and the slaves who served the nobility were not so lucky.
Since the Xia Shang Dynasty, once the nobles died, the slaves would be martyred for these meat eaters according to the ritual system, and it was considered grace to have the whole corpse.
After the death of the nobles, most slaves will be made into corpse soldiers, corpse servants, corpse tables, corpse benches, corpse beds and other things, and even their human bones will be made into various utensils into the underground palace mausoleum, surrounding the noble coffins.
Most of the skins of those slaves will be stripped to make banner curtains, and the human skin curtains are made of the back human skin of female slaves!
If you peel off the skin on your body regardless of whether it is good or bad, it will not only be uneven, but will be wrinkled and difficult to handle.
In order for these curtains to be smooth and smooth, they must be the flattest piece of human skin, that is, the whole human skin from the shoulders to the back.
When the slaves died, the skin on their backs would be peeled off in one piece, wiped with a secret medicine, and then soaked in a liquid of medicine, and when the skin turned from yellow to slightly translucent, it meant that the oil and dirt on the skin had been cleaned.
After that, these skins are constantly rubbed, blown, stretched, curled, flattened and ironed under the hands of craftsmen, and they are transformed from a hard skin into a soft film.
Scrape off the floating skin, smear it with tung oil, and then stitch and stitch it up, and a human skin gauze curtain is basically formed.
At this time, they are only as soft as fabric, but the smell is fishy and unpleasant, in order to alleviate the rancid smell of human skin, the craftsman will feed all kinds of spices to human skin, and the smell of human skin curtain is dispersed only a strong fragrance, which is considered to be completed, specially named fragrant corpse rotten yarn.
The living should not die, and they should stay away from everything that is contaminated with the bad luck of death.
Such a curtain is naturally not for the living, mostly used for the curtain of the tomb in the mausoleum, and because the slave resentment is attached to it, it can ensure that it does not rot for thousands of years, and no beetle can be seen when the tomb is opened, you can see that the curtain is new like a new weave, and it is not amazing to say.
What's more, it's the weird use!
Once a tomb robber strays into it, he must be surrounded by the resentment of the slaves, and the shadow of the woman is faintly seen between the curtains, with its form but not its body, as long as it is not lawful, it can only be trapped in vain.
"It is rumored that the more unjust souls, the more weird the fragrant corpse rotting veil will be, if such a big palace is all curtains, the two of us will not be able to get out if we have great ability."
After the cat master introduced the origin of the human skin gauze curtain, his face was full of gloom, and he could no longer raise a trace of interest in moving forward.
"So, we're trapped in the curtain!"
Yue Guanchao was about to cut the gauze curtain with a knife, but the cat master hurriedly pressed down his knife:
"I said Yue Xiaoyou, look at what is on the curtain."
With the words of the cat master, Yue Guanchao looked up carefully, most of the curtains around them hung under the octagonal golden frieze sill, as if the honeycombs piled up with each other would never end, in this octagonal beehive, there were obviously round metal pills inlaid in them!
"What is this?"
The cat master nodded at him with a serious look in his eyes: "That's right, the deadly corpse poison." ”
"If we cut the golden gauze and make the force of the golden threshold disappear, then many pills will spill downward, and it will be difficult for the gods to save them."
