Chapter 243: The Living Dead in a Stone Coffin
The fourth master was angry, and sat on the coffin to rest.
When I saw this picture, I just thought it was funny.
You Chen Yulin, the old man, pit a few people from our Liu family to come and suffer, and now your ancestral grave has been pulled out by us, see if you dare to have a next time.
I did the same, and sat straight on with my ass twisted.
"Hey, hey, hey."
Liu Ruxiang glanced at me: "Have you done enough, let's open the coffin quickly." ”
I grinned, and then I sensed something was wrong......
He looked down sharply, and then wiped the mud from the lid of the stone coffin with his sleeve.
I saw that under the surface of the yellow mud that was almost forming a shell, this stone coffin was actually engraved with obscure ancient Zhuangjia local characters!
I immediately thought of the ancestral land of the Liu family in Longming Mountain, and there was a cave at the end, and there was also a huge white marble coffin in the water, on which many Shigong scriptures were engraved in ancient Zhuang dialect.
The fourth master sighed: "Look at you are not stupid, not bad, not bad." ”
"The purpose of our trip here is to be able to subdue the method of flying to the sky and descending to the head, but now that I see this kind of Shigong scripture, I took a look, although this thing is not what we are looking for, but it is also not included in our Liu family's family library, it is better to extract it and send it to our own home."
A thick black smile appeared on the face of the fourth master.
"His old Chen family imitated us to carve scriptures in the sarcophagus, but he forgot that the coffin was made heavier and larger, and it was not like our Liu family's ancestral land, which was guarded by white turtle beasts. With the means we have today, we can't get in at all. ”
The four masters said vigorously, and then began to look around the stone coffin.
"The stone coffin is also made of mortise and tenon structure, with stone strips as buckles to splice these large stone slabs together."
The fourth master pondered, took out a small iron hammer from his pocket, and knocked it at a certain position in the stone coffin.
"Ding-ding-knock-"
After a while, a long finger-thick stone strip leaked out of one side of the stone coffin.
The fourth master gently tugged on and pulled out this thing.
Pull out this one, and the remaining three, and knock it out in the same way, and the four masters let us work with him to push out the lid of this coffin.
"Whew!" All of a sudden, the entire stone coffin board was pushed out and smashed into the water, making a big splash.
The four masters also said just now that the coffin is layer by layer, and there is a small coffin inside, soaked in a cloud of water. However, this size is quite narrow, and I don't know if the corpse inside is placed sideways, or if the corpse is too thin.
The small coffin in this was also difficult for the four masters, and he used the same tricks, knocking and beating, and soon got out the last few stone buckles.
"Three-two-one, work hard!" The four masters shouted in their mouths, and led a few of us to exert force together.
The inner coffin inside is actually much smaller than the outer layer, but the strength required to push this away is even greater than the one just now, and the three of us are not enough to exert our own strength.
The situation inside appeared in front of me, and it was a small coffin......
Haha, in fact, it is not as torturous as I imagined, there are only two floors, and it is estimated that the tomb owner at that time was not rich enough, otherwise it would be seventeen or eighteen floors, and if you want to touch the remains inside, I am afraid that you will be tired to death.
What caught my eye was the almost lifelike corpse of an elderly man lying flat in a coffin.
He was wearing a set of black clothes and gowns, soaked in the pale yellow corpse water of the coffin, and on his head was a pigtail with a money rat tail, which he knew at a glance that he was a person of that era.
His mouth opened slightly, his white eyes widened, and the moment I stared at it, I was immediately frightened.
This look is like a living person, as if he is looking at me!
I swallowed and gasped for air. I almost had to go weak in my legs, and I couldn't help but take two steps back.
The man's body had completely sunk to the bottom.
In general, people are heavier than water, and after dying in water, they sink to the bottom. But why does it float up, it is because some bacteria in the human body multiply and produce gas, which makes the human body bulge, like a leather ball, expands and expands, presenting a giant view, and thus floating.
But if there are no bacteria to multiply, or if all the qi in the body is expelled, he will continue to sink in the water.
Liu Ruxiang stared at the corpse of the old man in the water and kept looking at it, all of which were amazed.
"Sure enough, it's hard to decompose a corpse when it's put in water."
The fourth master smiled and said: "There is a saying that it is dry for a thousand years, wet for 10,000 years, and half a year if it is not dry or wet." ”
"What do you mean, in a dry environment, like in the desert, corpses can be preserved for thousands of years! It's like the corpse of the starving man we just saw, his body was deformed, but the basic appearance was still intact and not corrupted. ”
"If the body is stored in water, it can remain incorruptible for 10,000 years. Hehe, of course, this is just a rather exaggerated statement. And if the corpse is placed in an environment that is neither dry nor wet, it will decompose in less than half a year. ”
I secretly kept this sentence in my heart, and I listened to the fourth master continue: "You see, the corpse in this water is lifelike, and you can even see the wrinkles on this old man's face, and there is no sign of decay at all. ”
The courage of the four masters has always been great, and at this time, they actually dared to put their hands into this small coffin and directly touch the face of the corpse with their hands.
My heart was about to rise to my throat, and I was afraid that this old male corpse would slowly open its eyes, just like the living dead before, and attack us directly.
The four masters took their hands out of the water and washed them.
"It's kind of good luck to be able to keep it like this. Not only should the environment be wet, but the water should also be clean, and it just so happens that the water here meets this standard perfectly. ”
The fourth master beckoned me over at this time, and the two of us worked together to directly push down the small coffin sideways, and then let the old corpse and corpse water be poured on the side.
I didn't feel it just now, but now I poured out the corpse water in this coffin, and a strong smell of corpses suddenly filled the air!
My nose was burned by this intense stench, and I quickly breathed through my mouth, and my face was about to be white.
At this time, the fourth master took out a rag and threw it to me, asking me to wipe the mud and sand on the stone coffin and the foam in the corpse water.
He took out some paper and a pencil from the gift box, and slowly copied the scriptures of Shigong on the paper.
The four masters recognized these ancient Zhuang characters very clearly, and while copying this, they could even read them out loud.
Time passed slowly, and by now, my heart was not so fearful.
With the stability of the four masters, and the master by my side, I can not only listen to some stories told by the four masters, but also grow a lot of knowledge.
But soon, I was scared.
Just squatted on the ground and copied the scriptures of the master here, and the four masters asked us to turn out the big coffin outside and copy it.
"Okay, one, two, three, work hard!"
The fourth master said let me work hard, and I worked hard, and even the golden body method was transported.
After the dantian sank, my waist slammed into the coffin.
"Well, I'm okay with this strength." I wiped the sweat from my forehead.
But at this moment, Liu Ruxiang's face suddenly turned pale when she looked at me.
"Ask the mountain, get out of the way!" As soon as Master shouted like this, my mind was confused.
What's going on, what's going on.
However, Liu Ruxiang is my master after all. If the person who said this was the four masters, I might still look down. Anyway, the rice cooks have never tricked me, and without thinking, she immediately squatted down suddenly, and also controlled her body to fall to the side.
At this moment, the moment I fell, I tilted my body to see where I had just stood, and suddenly stretched out a black and wet hand.
Yes!
I didn't know whose hand it was, and then the next second I saw that the old corpse we had just poured out of the stone coffin was standing up at this time.
His trembling body was much tougher at this time, and the slap slammed into the stone coffin, and the four masters who were standing on the other side all let go of their hands suddenly.
"Bold and wicked, you are dead, don't be delusional about making trouble in the sun again!"
The fourth master shouted loudly in his mouth, and his whole body was full of momentum, just like a little old man who was picking up rags with his hair scattered, and now he seemed to be a master who disappeared in the crowd.
He pulled out a black dagger from his waist, muttered the scriptures of Shigong that I had never heard, and slashed his index finger sharply, smearing a few drops of blood on the small black dagger.
A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the four masters, and he jumped over from the side of the coffin, and stabbed at the neck of the living dead as soon as he made a killing move.
"Dare to block it!"
With a loud shout from the mouth of the fourth master, the short sword slammed into the arm of the living dead that had been raised to block it.
Liu Ruxiang saw this scene on the side, hurriedly opened the wooden box, orderly but very quickly, immediately pulled out a small white boat made of paper, and took out a small porcelain bottle with the other hand, and poured the water in the small porcelain bottle on the living dead while singing the scriptures of Shigong.
"In the twelfth year the king went on the ship, and in the twelfth year he will go on the ship......"
Liu Ruxiang shot quickly, while singing the scriptures of Shigong, the shouting voice was like a flood bell and a loud voice.
On the other side, the small porcelain vase in his hand kept pouring water on the living dead.
