Chapter 474: Soul Attracting Oil
The folk have always believed that the emperor of birds is the phoenix, and the phoenix here does not refer to the divine bird, but the most ferocious individual among the birds, such as the eagle lord, the queen of the bird, the eagle king, and even the pheasant, the phoenix blood of course refers to the blood of the bird of prey, no matter which one, it must be the strongest one in the population.
These two things are rare and precious, and the other is unavoidable, and they are the most difficult to collect, and they often take a year to collect.
After listening to these things, Song Siyuan couldn't be sure whether these things were useful or not, but if she didn't prepare, she would definitely lose the opportunity, so she decided to accept them first: "Okay, if we can really prepare these things, the key is how to find so many coffins." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, in the past, the village had to worship the soul palace every year, and the lamp oil was needed to make the soul-attracting lamp, in order to facilitate the collection of lamp oil, the village made a lot of hanging coffins in the mountain behind the village, and you stored the ancestors in the village, and each generation had to stay in the hanging coffin for a year after death to nourish the coffin, and then be buried."
"I remember that most of the coffins were empty when the accident happened, and the human oil inside should still be there, if you go, you may be able to meet them, as for the old man with phoenix blood, there is nothing to do, this thing is hard to find, no one knows where to meet it."
Tang Baoguan's words made Yue Guanchao rest assured, if there was no hanging coffin in Tang Lingzhai, then they could only dig the graves in the mountains and fields to find human oil, and it was inevitable that it would be undignified to create evil, they told Tang Baoguan a lot, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, they had to go back to the backyard through the eaves, and each burned the kang and fell asleep.
The next day, they got up early in the morning, and Yue Guanchao took Tang Dayang, Song Siyuan, and Yue Erpao along the wild road in the village to Houshan.
This is the end of the river valley, there is no longer a river, only the mountain wall is full of withered bushes, the shrubs and branches are hanging dense coffins, as if there are countless wooden boxes hanging on the mountain wall, I don't know if there are too many coffins, they can always feel the gloomy atmosphere, the cold wind around them whimper, as if crying in a low voice, the scalp of the listener is numb.
"Is there really no body in here?"
Since Yue Guanchao came to Fengtian, Song Siyuan has also experienced many hardships, and seeing the corpse is no longer a problem, but this does not mean that she is not disgusting, and she feels sick to her stomach when she thinks of scraping the corpse oil and blood residue at the bottom of the coffin into the wooden barrel.
"This is perhaps, the old man said that most of the villagers have been buried, which means that the bodies of a small number of villagers are still here, plus he is blind and can't deal with the aftermath, so it must have been placed here for thirty or forty years, I don't know what it has become."
When Yue Song and the others were talking, Tang Dayang had already approached the coffin with a crowbar, and he and Yue Erpao yelled and pryed, and lifted the lid of the coffin with a bang.
Yue Guanchao took the opportunity to approach the coffin, stretched out his head to look inside, and Song Siyuan asked curiously, "Is there a corpse inside?" ”
"There are no corpses, but there are still a lot of things."
Yue Guanchao's words aroused Song Siyuan's curiosity, she was afraid that the rude and reckless man would deliberately deceive him, so she looked at the coffin from her fingers with her arms and made sure that there were no aged corpses in it before she let out a sigh of relief and put down her wrist.
There were indeed no dead people in the coffin, but it was not empty, the four walls were covered with a layer of mushroom-style Ganoderma lucidum, and they were gathered in a clump of three or five, the size of a palm, all of them were wound with vine silk, and under the coffin board was all black ash paste like solidified lard!
These black ash grease are undoubtedly the so-called corpse oil.
"Let's hurry up, we have to pick up some of the Lingzhi first, so as not to get them in the way."
Yue Guanchao picked up the shovel and shoveled it on the Ganoderma lucidum a few times, after the Lingzhi was shoveled off, blood splashed everywhere, dyeing the rattan all around, and everyone suddenly saw Lingzhi crying blood, and their eyelids unconsciously crossed a few times, and they had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
"How can mushrooms bleed, can't it be a ghost~"
Yue Ercang's words, the infiltrated person's back was numb, and Yue Guanchao hurriedly dispelled this fear: "Don't be nonsense, these are just Lingzhi parasitic on the coffin, the bottom of the coffin can accumulate so much corpse oil, I feel that it is the credit of these Lingzhi, they and rattan are probably good at absorbing blood water and fat." ”
"This thing, it should be Corpse Zhi!"
Song Siyuan took out the notes in his backpack and said: "This thing appeared in the Western Regions, it is a mushroom produced near the Tianshan Mountain in the Western Regions, once it grows, the mycelium of each other will be connected into a piece, which can transport water to each other to maintain nutrients, if it is planted in a coffin, it probably has this effect, these creams may be excreted by the corpse Zhi." ”
"The Western Regions? How can there be something from the Tianshan Mountains in this coffin! ”
Tang Dayang didn't know what she meant.
Song Siyuan explained in a serious tone: "During the Tang Dynasty, foreign trade was developed, and the things from Northern Europe and the Western Regions continued to come to the Central Plains. ”
"Okay, as long as it's non-toxic and harmless, let's not be afraid of it, hurry up and bring the barrel."
Tang Dayang handed over the wooden barrel, Yue Guanchao picked up the scraper and scraped it towards the bottom of the coffin, a thick layer of grease was scraped out by him and thrown into the barrel, and when the bottom of the coffin was exhausted, they opened another coffin, lowered their heads and clicked, the human oil they needed needed to fill the whole barrel, according to the amount of oil stored in the coffin, they needed at least dozens of coffins, and several people saw that the number was too much, so they had to act separately.
