Chapter 475: Light the lamp and boil the oil
Since they acted separately, there was no need to get together, they each took a shovel, opened the nearby coffin and dug up the ointment, Yue Guanchao was digging human oil by himself, only to hear a cry from the high hillside, he saw Song Siyuan kneeling on the ground in disgust and spitting sour water, and he already knew in his heart that he had encountered something unclean.
He hurriedly put down the work in his hand, strode to her side with Tang Dayang, and looked down at the coffin, in addition to the wall full of corpses, there was also a corpse lying inside that had been rotting for decades, and even the corpse moisture was dry, leaving only the black dried meat wrapped around the vines of the corpse, as if it had been sucked dry by something.
Yue Guanchao picked up the shovel and shoveled the bones a few times, the bones were fragile and the dried flesh was loose, and the clothes had been weathered into strands, as long as they moved, they could be broken off the thread, and the overall state was dead for at least a few decades, if it weren't for the coffin that delayed the weathering time, it would have been dried into a handful of broken bones.
"Gott~"
Even if the flesh and bones of the corpse were dry, there was an unpleasant smell of dead people, and Song Siyuan was suddenly frightened and smelled this smell of dead people, and her stomach couldn't stop turning over the river and the sea.
"I told you to follow me, and I have to pull the coffin by myself, now it's okay."
Yue Guanchao and Tang Dayang were about to restore the coffin lid to its original state, but Song Siyuan seemed to have thought of something and stopped them: "Wait." ”
Then, she straightened up and endured her nausea, stood by the coffin and said, "Do you feel that this corpse mushroom is similar to the cave we saw in Changbai Mountain, and it also uses Ganoderma lucidum to combine with the human body to produce some kind of biological reaction." ”
These words reminded Yue Guanchao, if these corpses are regarded as petri dishes, then these corpses are indeed the source of nutrition, and then the paste that comes out of the corpse is the result, which is seven or eight points similar to that of the Yin corpse fish, and even if the Ganoderma lucidum is a little bigger, it belongs to the same thing.
"It's not difficult to guess, if you think about it, the Yin Corpse Fish was set up by the Chao family, maybe Li Yuan's descendants learned these things from the Tang Imperial Family, and combined with the Northern Clan's Beast Technique, they created the Yin Corpse Fish, which is not strange."
Yue Guanchao has become smart this time, there are too many secrets of the Chao family, and it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.
"Song Qianjin, it's already noon, these people have to boil for half a day to succeed, we have to dig up the ointment quickly, lest the time pass."
Time waits for no one, Yue Guanchao and they closed the coffin, turned to look for other coffins, and when the sun passed noon, a few people gathered a large bucket full of anointment.
After returning to the old man's house, the old man had already built a stove with stone bars in the courtyard, and mixed the wet mud with straw paste outside the stove, and with the firewood burning the flame, the yellow mud was dried and the water solidified into a hard shell, and a simple stove was built.
"You're back, get the ointment quickly."
Tang Dayang sent the wooden bucket to the stove, and when the clay pot sat on the stove, the old man began to pick up the shovel, rubbing and throwing all the grease in the wooden barrel into the clay pot, and when the wooden barrel was scraped clean, the clay pot was close to being full.
He paused for a moment, and took out a palm-sized white cloth bag from the stove room, and he could smell the strong smell of medicine from a distance.
At this time, the grease has been completely melted by the heat of the clay pot, the black oil and water in the pot are not very hot, with a slight smoke, as if the old oil has been used hundreds of times, the taste is extremely unpleasant, strictly speaking, it is not a smell, but it is not comfortable to enter the nose, as if it is stuck in the nostrils, and it is easy to breathe.
"This smell is too bad~"
Yue Erpao had already covered his nose.
Old man Tang stirred the oil and water, the white cloth bag gradually sank into the clay pot, he said while stirring: "The coffins in the back mountain are all made of good sandalwood, which can remove the smell and absorb dirt, these creams and greases have tasted a lot better after being purified by sandalwood, if it is the paste stored in ordinary wood, we will have already stinked out of the two miles, there are too many impurities in human flesh and blood, and the smell is rancid and unpleasant after decay, once those corpse collectors come into contact with the rotting corpse, the smell on their bodies will not disappear for a few days." ”
"You baby girls, if you don't want to smell all over your body these days, go to the backyard first, and if you want to see it, put on a honey locust coat, and there will be no smell on your body."
Yue Guanchao looked aside, there were a lot of rattan clothes on the well!
They look like the robes and coats of the previous dynasty, which can be covered from the neckline to the legs and stomachs, and they are all soft and braided, and a layer of arrowroot cloth is stuffed with soap beans.
After the temperature of the clay pot came up, the oil and water finally became boiling from bubbling, like boiling lard like gurgling and bubbling, once these bubbles burst, there will be water floating out of the edge of the pot, Donald took out the lid of the pot, and covered the mouth of the pot tightly, leaving only the two mouths of the lid of the pot not closed, they are about half a palm high like a chimney, from which the mist of Bai Sensen continues to emerge.
