The sarcophagus is made of bluestone, which has turned black now.
The lid of the coffin has a pattern of a blue dragon spitting beads, and there are some stone carvings around the coffin.
In one of them, there were many people kneeling on the ground, worshiping toward the sky.
There was the sun and clouds in the sky, as if they were praying to heaven for something.
"If that doesn't work, just pry it open."
Director Lu said after staring at the coffin for a long time.
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly my brother stopped me.
Everyone turned to look at my brother.
My brother looked at the sarcophagus and said, "I won't say anything else.
I just want to say that the ancients liked to make mechanisms on coffins.
If you pry open the sarcophagus rashly like this, you will be hit."
I'm afraid I'll be angry on the spot."
After hearing what my brother said, everyone nodded from time to time, thinking that what he said made sense.
My brother continued: "And this place is full of weirdness and evil.
I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Director Lu looked at my brother solemnly, then forced a smile, took out a packet of Zhonghua from his pocket, handed one to my brother and said, "Director, did you find something?"
My brother happily took it and lit it, and then the curator handed me one.
Of course, I was not polite and took it, but my brother continued: "I'm not sure either.
It's just a personal guess.
We in southern Fujian It is popular here to bury bones, which is to find a feng shui place to bury a person after death for three to five years.
After the body turns into bones, the body is picked out and put into a large water tank or clay pot, and then the body is picked out.
It is buried in Feng Shui ground and is called golden altar or urn of gold.”
"You're saying that the gold urn buried in this sarcophagus after the bones were collected is correct.
Otherwise, how could such a small coffin be able to hold the body of an adult?
Only the bones can be placed in it.
The Taoist priest is right.
That makes sense."
Director Lu nodded repeatedly.
"No, I haven't finished speaking yet.
The collection of bones for burial is not the point."
My brother interrupted him.
He took a puff of cigarette and said, "Since the collection of bones for burial is popular, there are many bone pickers. , this bone picker is usually passed down from ancestors, but he is a skilled worker, and he knows a lot of things.
If it is an ordinary bone picker and burial, then that's it, but now it is a bone picker and burial in a mass grave, then...
There’s a big problem, I suspect this place is a place for raising corpses.”
"What kind of corpse raising place?"
Director Lu was startled.
Everyone subconsciously stepped back, then turned around and got off the altar.
My brother couldn't help but smile when he saw their appearance, and then slowly got off the altar.
He said, "This is just my personal guess, because there are so many corpses buried beside the coffin.
The suspicion of using corpses to nourish corpses is that human birth, including growth, depends on absorbing the five qi of heaven and earth.
The so-called five qi of heaven and earth refer to the fact that at the beginning of chaos, the heaven and earth were born, and the five elements gradually changed, which is called the five fortunes.
It is too easy; when the vitality begins to sprout, it is called Taichu; when the movement of Qi reaches its end, it is called Taishi; when the deformation has quality, it is called Taisu; when the movement of Qi is already established, it is called Taiji.
This is Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taiji.
Elements, Tai Chi calls them the five qi of heaven and earth.

The growth of all things in the world is composed of these five qi.
The same is true for people.
After death, the body rots and the five qi disperse again and return to the heaven and earth.
This is what life does not bring.
Don’t take it with you.”
"Are you saying that with so many corpses, all the five qi of heaven and earth produced after decomposition are used to support the corpse in the coffin?"
Director Lu interjected.
"That's just my guess," my brother said.
"But if it's like you said, if there are bones in this coffin, then I'm afraid it won't be able to support the five qi.
I know that the prerequisite for raising a corpse must be a corpse, and it must be a intact corpse, a corpse within seven days of death."
Director Lu said.
"Yes, so this is one of the reasons why I am not sure.
Another point is that if this place is a natural corpse raising ground, then all the corpses in this pit should not rot, not just this coffin.
The ones inside won’t rot, so the possibility of an innate corpse raising place is ruled out.
The only possibility is an acquired corpse raising place, and it’s the most likely.”
After my brother finished speaking, Director Lu frowned.
The place where the innate corpse is raised means that this place has sufficient generation of the five qi of heaven and earth.
Not only will the corpse not rot after being buried, but it can continue to absorb the five innate qi and continue to grow.
The most obvious thing is that the corpse's hair, teeth, and nails will continue to grow.
Long, the corpse raising place the day after tomorrow is also the artificial corpse raising place, that is, finding a good Feng Shui place, that is, a place where the air is not very circulated, and then embalming the corpse.
After that, they were buried, and then the corpse was raised.
There are many artificial embalming treatments.
You have seen many of them, such as the mummies in Egypt, and the golden bodies of monks from various countries after their death.
Many monks' bodies do not decay after death.
It is said that they are Because I ate cinnabar during my lifetime, the cinnabar was deposited in the body, and the cinnabar itself has an antiseptic effect.
The body will naturally not decay after death.
I asked my brother about these afterward, and he told me.
He said that the current place looked like a corpse raising ground, so he suggested finding an experienced bone picker to take a look.
Director Lu and his party felt that this was necessary, so they went to Xiaguan Village to find a senior bone picker.
This man's surname was Lin.
He was over seventy years old.
Before the country implemented cremation, he had been collecting bones from all over the country.
He was asked to do all the work, but later he was cremated and there was no market for his skills.
Mr.
Lin's body was quite strong and he didn't need a cane to walk.
After he arrived at the mass grave, his whole face was wrinkled and his body was trembling.
"Mr.
Lin, what's wrong with you?"
Director Lu hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"It's cold.
This place is very dark.
If you stay here for a long time, you will get sick."
That's what Mr.
Lin said, and then he went down to the pit.
After walking around the side of the sarcophagus, he touched the sarcophagus with his hand, and then tapped it with his fingers.

It made a muffled sound.
After just a cursory glance, he got off the altar.
However, after getting off the altar, He squatted down and looked at the broken bones scattered at the bottom of the pit.
He picked up a piece, looked at it for a while, smelled it with his nose, and then turned around to look at the broken bones around him.
Then he sighed and said, "You are a sinner.
The bones are black and penetrate deep into the marrow.
These people were all dead when they were alive."
Those who died of poisoning, who did this thing that is harmful to nature and outrageous to both humans and gods?"
Everyone was shocked, even my brother was shocked.
Everyone squatted down and looked at the broken bones.
It was true as the old man said.
These broken bones were all black.
It was obvious that he had died of poisoning.
Could it be that he died of poisoning?
Who were these people who were poisoned to death and then thrown into a pit to be buried with them?
They were so vicious that they buried so many people with them.
The old man asked to leave the mass grave, saying that it was very cold inside and he didn't want to stay any longer, so my brother and I helped him out.
But when I helped him, I was also shocked.
The old man's body was so cold that it was so cold.
It can be described as cold, and inadvertently, I saw that his palms were flat, without any hand lines, and pale.
I was shocked until the old man said: "This is not a place to raise corpses."
Director Lu cheered up and looked at the old man, then took out a wad of money from his pocket, which should be a thousand yuan, handed it to the old man's hand and said, "Thank you."
The old man didn't refuse.
He took the money and put it in his pocket.
He said: "I just checked.
The temperature in the coffin is very high.
Air must have escaped into it.
It is not sealed and there is no mechanism.
You can open it with confidence.
This The coffin is sealed with a glue made of isinglass and glutinous rice.
Use a fire to bake the edges of the gap.
After it is heated, insert a blade into the gap and scrape it.
The glue can be scraped off.
Just scrape it a few times.
It’s time to drive.”
After the old man finished speaking, he turned to leave.
Before leaving, he turned to look at me and showed a somewhat ugly smile, because his mouth was full of gums and not a single tooth.
He said, "You are a good kid.
Are you interested in following me?"
I’ll learn some skills and I’ll teach you.”
I was startled, waved my hands and said, "No, no, thank you."
The old man was not angry, and continued to say with a smile: "It's okay.
If you want to learn, just go to Xiaguan Village and ask anyone.
Just ask the bone picker, and you will know where I live."
I went to Xiaguan Village again.

As soon as I heard these three words, my heart went crazy, because the Vietnamese bride was buried in the family of the butcher in Xiaguan Village.
"Okay, but there's really no need.
The country has implemented cremation, and it seems that your skills are useless."
I spoke without thinking at the time, and just opened my mouth and said everything.
The old man waved his hand and said, "That's not necessarily the case.
If it's useless, why are you looking for me now?
The police now need this skill to solve crimes.
In the past, when there weren't so many advanced equipment, they didn't rely on these skills. , I have solved so many cases with this skill in the past, things passed down by our ancestors always have a reason for their existence, don’t reject me in a hurry, I think you are a good candidate, please think about it carefully. " When he said this, I had nothing to say.
I could only laugh and say that I would go to him if necessary.
After the old man left, my brother looked me up and down inexplicably.
I asked my brother: "Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm not doing anything, I'm just looking again.
What's so different about my brother?
There's a bone picker rushing to teach you his skills.
Do you know that the skills of this bone picker are usually passed down from ancestors, and they only pass it down to you?"
It is rarely spread among descendants, unless the person is extremely talented and has an innate advantage," my brother said.
"What kind of talent can I have?
I just studied for a few more years than you.
You watched me grow up.
How many kilograms do I have?
Don't you know?"
I rolled my eyes at my brother.
Brother laughed, and then I remembered the feeling of supporting the old man just now, and I said, "Brother, why is this old man's body so cold?
It's like an ice cube."
"What?"
My brother looked at me inexplicably.
"We just helped him, didn't you feel that his body was very cold?"
I looked at my brother in surprise.
"No."
My brother shook his head and said, "It's just like us ordinary people, with a body temperature of about thirty degrees."
"How could it be that it's just like ice cubes, almost zero?"
I murmured to myself, "Could it be that he is getting cold and warm at the same time?"
Thinking of this, I felt bad all over, with goosebumps crawling all over my body
