Chapter 293: The flesh is not corrupted
At this moment, the wooden coffin in the middle was revealed.
The wooden coffin in the middle is not big, one end is wide and the other is narrow, the wood is painted with red paint, and it is estimated that when this ancestor just died hundreds of years ago, it should be regarded as the end of life.
The middle layer is very easy to get, and the four masters stepped forward to chisel out the wooden wedges on the coffin board, and then knocked the coffin board with a hammer.
"This can be opened, let's all stand farther away." The fourth master hesitated a little in his heart, and the movements in his hands paused slightly, and then he turned his head and asked Chen Yulin, "In the tomb of your Chen family's old ancestor, there should be no hidden weapons and poisonous gases, right?" ”
Chen Yulin recalled for a while: "I haven't heard of that, or ...... Open it with a tool, let's go back a little distance? ”
The fourth master nodded, and then stuck the coffin board with a rope: "Everyone retreat some distance." ”
In the end, a few of us hid on the side and pulled the rope with the four masters.
"One, two, three, hard!"
I only heard a boom, and the coffin board was directly dragged away by us, and as we expected, it was too late and that was fast, the moment the coffin board was pulled out by us, several black needle-shaped hidden weapons immediately flew out obliquely from the coffin!
Sou! Sou!
The four masters' eyes widened, grabbed me and Liu Ruxiang's arms, and slammed the two of us backwards.
"Bang!"
Between the lightning and flint, there was a sound of collision on the wall behind him.
The pitch-black needle-shaped weapon flew into the wall, instantly sparking a spark.
My heart tightened, and when I came back to my senses, a cold sweat broke out on my back.
Fortunately, the four masters moved quickly, and they also kept a heart eye in advance, just now the flying needle hidden weapon was at an oblique angle of forty-five degrees, this position is quite tricky, if you don't use the method of pulling away with a rope, nine times out of ten it will shoot on our own people, think about it and be afraid for a while.
Knowing that the dust had settled, the group of us let go of the rope in our hands and turned around to look for the few hidden steel needles that shot out.
We looked at the wall with our flashlights, and the pitch-black steel needle hit the wall and slammed into the granite stone wall, shattering a stone the size of a thumb.
"The power is amazing, this mechanism has been worn out over hundreds of years, and the power is simply incredible."
"Also, fortunately, the elder brother of the Liu family reminded me, otherwise I would have two more holes in my body."
Chen Guangge said this, and there was a bit of accusation against Chen Yulin in his words.
Old Chen was speechless: "It's been too long, and I, a descendant of the Chen family, have come to the ancestral land for the first time, forgive my sins, forgive my sins!" ”
Everyone stared and waited for a while, until there was no movement in the coffin box, and the four masters dared to be the first to step forward to check.
After the fourth master walked up, his eyes immediately widened, his mouth opened wide, staring at the contents of the coffin, with a look of disbelief!
We slowly approached around the coffin, and we hadn't seen the scene inside the coffin yet, but when we looked at the expressions of the four masters, we were all slightly stunned.
"Four masters...... You, what do you see? I asked, unable to suppress my curiosity, and rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and my eyes immediately widened.
I couldn't believe that a lifelike, kind-eyed old man was lying in this coffin.
However, her body had lost its movement early, and compared to the coffin lying under her body, it was a lifeless appearance, and no one could connect with this living old man.
I know, that's why the four masters were surprised.
I couldn't resist leaning over and closing in to take a closer look.
Is such a person lying in a coffin alive or dead?
When I realized this in my heart, I couldn't help but be amazed and felt unbelievable again.
Chen Yulin came up and was also stunned: "Why is this happening, this, is this my ancestor?" ”
Chen Yulin looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but wipe his face: "My descendants in later generations are really similar to this ancestor. ”
We looked at him and the people inside the coffin, and we all nodded in unison.
This lineage of the Chen family has a very similar feature, that is, the bridge of the nose is straight, I didn't expect the ancestors hundreds of years ago to look like this.
"It's just lifelike, why the hell, can it keep it like this, his body won't decay for hundreds of years?" I looked at it and looked at it, and I couldn't help but ask questions.
The fourth master leaned down, carefully observed the corpse inside the coffin, and finally explained: "Legend has it that in the northwest region, there are Buddhists who practice special secret methods, and the monks who have attained the Tao can not decay in the flesh after passing away and will not fall down for hundreds of years. ”
Chen Guangge nodded, and then began to say after the words of the fourth master: "After ordinary people die, within two or three days, their bodies will begin to rot and swell, and after four or five days, they will have maggots in their flesh and be gnawed by maggots. ”
Chen Guangge's face changed and changed, and finally looked at the body of this ancestor of the Chen family, and suddenly shook his head.
We all looked at him and continued: "A few years ago, I was invited by a friend to visit a well-known Buddhist shrine in the northwest region, and in the temple I saw the appearance of a high-ranking monk. The monk is the last year of the Qing Dynasty to sit and pass away, after the death of the body is placed in the main hall to worship, it has been nearly a hundred years, still the body is not rotten, the treasure is solemn. ”
"However, as far as I can speculate, the golden body of the Buddha family is definitely not so mysterious, and I consulted that friend later. He told me that a year or two before the death of a monk should start to prepare, and eventually at the end of his life, when he was about to die, he would start not to eat or drink, to scrub his body with medicinal soup every day, and to expose himself to the sun so that his body would be less water. ”
"When he finally dies, the disciples of the temple have to carry his Dharma image to the outside world. The climate of the northwest region is also known to everyone, the fruit hanging on the tree can be easily dried, and the body of the enlightened monk is the same, after being dehydrated, it is smeared with grease, honey and other things, wrapped in a robe, and finally the body can be guaranteed not to rot. ”
I suddenly realized: "It's better to say that the body is dehydrated and dried, so the flesh does not rot." ”
Chen Guangge nodded.
"However, as far as I know, our Chen family did not have such a secret method before, and there was no such secret method in the entire Lingnan region."
Chen Guangge's family was a branch of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town in the past, but it was taken away later, so they also knew some of the secrets of the past. And according to the facts, the old man lying in this coffin is also his ancestor.
Chen Yulin also nodded.
"I'm sure of that, anyway, I've only heard about various methods of preserving corpses since I was a child, and I've never seen this kind of miraculous condition."
"Even if you refine it into a zombie, your body will change."
Everyone hasn't recovered from the shock yet, and they can't help but praise it.
And at this moment, I was staring at the corpse inside the coffin, I looked at the face, I looked at the chest of the corpse, how could I always feel something strange somewhere?
Soon...... I realized something was wrong!
The old man in this coffin, his body seems to have a trace of movement!
I suspected that my eyes were glazed, and I couldn't help but push my body forward, and then stared at the old man's face, looking at the wrinkles on his face, the patterns and buttons on his gown, and I stared carefully, holding my breath, afraid to be dazzled by the slight shaking of my body.
Chen Yulin saw my condition and sensed that something was wrong.
"Kid of the Liu family, what are you looking at so closely, this is your ancestor?"
I ignored him, but the more I stared at it, the more I felt a hint of doubt and fear in my heart.
"Hmph, Chen Yulin, the child of our Liu family, came in and made a contribution, what's wrong with the long knowledge?" The four masters followed Chen Yulin to quarrel, so I didn't want to deal with them.
I couldn't believe it, shook my head, and turned my head to look at Liu Ruxiang: "Master, this is wrong, this corpse is still moving!" ”
Only then did I realize that Liu Ruxiang's attention had not been shifted, and she had been staring at the corpse in the coffin.
Liu Ruxiang slowly put her fingers to her mouth and made a "shhhhh
At this moment, the mistake between our master and apprentice made the others realize that there might really be something wrong with the corpse in this coffin, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense, and stared at the corpse and observed.
Next, all of us widened our eyes in unison, and looked in disbelief at the coffin, the old man's chest suddenly appeared and fell together, just like a living person, and there was a movement of breathing!
Dead?
No way, it's absolutely impossible.
We were just thinking about why a person's corpse can remain uncorrupted for hundreds of years, and now, a terrifying thought has popped up in our hearts, a person dies, and it will definitely be very difficult for the dead body to not decay!
However, if this person is not dead, a living person, breathing evenly and bleeding all over his body, his body will not decay out of thin air in any way?
And the old man's body in front of him, although his face was yellow, but his whole body did not have the same white color as a dead corpse!
Why, isn't he really dead?
Not eating or drinking in a coffin, and there are no traces of excretion and urine, this is not normal at all!
However, we have a reasonable explanation, that is, the ancestors of the Chen family hundreds of years ago may have used some kind of immortal secret method. This can also explain why Liu Ruxiang summoned the soul before, and the soul of the ancestor made us open the coffin!
Because, he wants to come back again!
