Chapter 6: The Cat Corpse of Nine Lives


Jin Yuanzhong was seen lying on the cave wall on the right, sniffing the cave wall constantly.

He reminds me of the "grave-hunting dogs" my grandfather mentioned before.

In fact, the "grave-hunting dogs" are not dogs, but people.

Such people are born with an extremely sensitive sense of smell and can smell the smell of corpses across the ground.

Lao Bai is a tomb-robber dog, and his skill in locating by scent is extremely good.

Jin Yuanzhong heard it for a while and said, "The tomb is behind here."

"How sure are you?"

I asked worriedly.

For tomb robbers, it is particularly important to find the exact location of the tomb.

Once you make a mistake in judgment, you are likely to waste energy and time digging an unnecessary hole, or even make a mistake and walk into a tomb with a mechanism.

"One hundred percent."

"A living corpse?"

"If you can't smell it, this tomb must not have been robbed."

After hearing what Jin Yuanzhong said, I became interested.

It seemed that there should be a large group of tombs underground.

If the tombs were connected to each other, it would be simple to find the place where Lao Bai had the corpse poison after entering.

"Dig" just do it.

Jin Yuanzhong and I dug two meters forward with the small shovel he brought, and a tomb wall appeared in front of us.

This tomb wall was the same as the tomb wall I just saw.

It fit perfectly without any gaps.

I put my ear against the tomb wall and listened for a while.

There was no movement.

I nodded towards Jin Yuanzhong.

Jin Yuanzhong said, "Are you going in from the top of the tomb?"

"No, the bricks on the tomb walls are usually pulled outwards to prevent any mechanism inside.

It would be too troublesome to enter from the top of the tomb.

If it is not repaired, the tomb will collapse.

If there is another Zongzi inside, there will be no place to run.

Run."

I shook my head and said.

Jin Yuanzhong shrugged and said it was up to you.

I took out the dagger my grandpa gave me and stabbed it hard into the crack of the brick, and the dagger disappeared.

Then he traced a circle along the seam of the bricks, and with a forceful movement toward the outside, a tomb brick was removed.

Jin Yuanzhong said from the side, "Your dagger is not simple."

I ignored him and took a flashlight to shine through the brick hole.

I saw the coffin in the middle of the tomb at a glance.

It should be made of bluestone.

The coffin was placed on the stone platform in the middle of the tomb.

There were three steps on each side of the stone platform.

Apart from these, the entire tomb was empty and there was nothing.

"It's probably a fake tomb.

There's nothing in it except a coffin.

It should be a tomb built to prevent tomb thieves."

I said to Jin Yuanzhong.

At this time, Ouyang Yuetong took out a candle from nowhere and lit it before pointing it above the brick opening.

I quickly stopped her and said, "What are you doing?"

Ouyang Yuetong said, "Don't you mean, light a candle before entering the tomb?

If the candle goes out, you can't enter the tomb.

I'll try to see if the candle goes out."

"Where did you get this nonsense?

Let me tell you, if there is something in this tomb, let alone a candle, even if you light ten thousand candles and they are all lit, you should be able to enter or not."

I said to Ouyang.

Yuetong said.

In fact, Ouyang Yuetong's method is already the tomb robbing method of the older generation.

There is also the saying that you should light a stick of incense before going to the tomb, and you must come out before the incense burns out.

These methods are fine for robbing some small tombs, but for really powerful tombs, not to mention candles, even explosives won't work.

Ouyang Yuetong rolled his eyes at me and continued to put the candle into the brick opening.

As soon as he put it in the brick opening, a gust of wind suddenly blew out of the tomb and the candle went out.

Ouyang Yuetong smiled like a flower and said to me, "Look, look, look, it's gone, it's gone."

I rolled my eyes at her, "Like a child."

Ouyang Yuetong smiled awkwardly, as if Realizing that he had lost his composure in such a tense situation, he stopped talking.

Jin Yuanzhong frowned and stared at the brick entrance.

Suddenly, a "bang" came from the tomb.

"The coffin was not moved and there was someone else," Jin Yuanzhong said.

I quickly picked up the flashlight and looked inside, and sure enough I found a figure shaking and running away from the corridor at the other end of the tomb.

"Come in" I winked at Jin Yuanzhong and started to pull out the tomb bricks one by one.

The tomb wall is very firmly bonded, and it takes a lot of effort to pull out each piece.

I heard from my grandpa that the bonding technology of ancient tomb walls was very advanced, but the ingredients for the bonding agent have been lost.

The only known ingredients are egg white and glutinous rice.

I really don’t know how the ancient people came up with the method in the first place.

It took hundreds of thousands of years.

In the past, this wall is still so strong.

After a lot of effort, Jin Yuanzhong and I dug out a larger hole in the tomb wall, which we could get in by bending down.

Generally, the hole into the tomb must be made larger, mainly because we are afraid of something inside the tomb. , it is convenient to run if something goes wrong.

I first crept into the tomb with a flashlight, looked around and saw that there was no big problem, and waved to the outside.

Ouyang Yuetong and Jin Yuanzhong followed suit.

This tomb chamber was the same as the one I just saw outside.

It was about the same size as an ordinary living room.

There was a coffin placed on the stone platform in the middle.

The head of the coffin faced a long corridor, and I didn't know where it led.

I walked to the stone platform and found a bronze sword on the ground, more than a foot long.

Jin Yuanzhong picked up the bronze sword and looked at it for a while and said, "The swords of the Warring States Period were re-polished and sharpened, and the polisher was very familiar with the casting methods of ancient bronze swords.

This sharpening method is still used today.

Only Xinjiang's knives actually have many serrations on the blade, which can increase the sharpness of the sword.

The polishing technology of this sword is very high, and it cannot be seen that it was polished twice, but this sword is indeed from the Warring States Period. " I nodded.

I still believe in Jin Yuanzhong's strength.

As a "grave-detecting dog", if he didn't have some real skills, he and Ouyang Yuetong would not have come to rob this tomb.

"This sword is obviously used for self-defense in the tomb.

It uses things unearthed in the tomb to defend itself.

It has a very good lethality against rice dumplings.

But why did the person holding the sword throw the sword here?

Did he see something?"

I asked road.

Jin Yuanzhong shook his head, handed the sword to me and said, "You can keep it for use, it's a treasure."

I took the bronze sword without refusing, it was indeed a treasure, and besides, the man surnamed Jin seemed to have seen the world.

Not to mention those from the Warring States Period, he probably wouldn't even care about the bronze swords from the Shang Dynasty.

Jin Yuanzhong knocked on the sarcophagus in front of him and made a muffled sound.

"The coffin has not been opened yet.

There is something inside.

Do you want to open it?"

Jin Yuanzhong asked.

In fact, ever since I met this guy named Jin, I have always felt that this guy is weird.

With his ability, he can take Ouyang Yuetong around this tomb by himself.

Why does he have to ask me about everything?

And that Ten Thousand Gu Tomb just now, he probably let me run away because he was worried that I couldn't deal with it.

Would a "grave-detecting dog" with such a high ability know whether the coffin should be opened?

"What do you think?"

I asked him.

Jin Yuanzhong was stunned for a moment, his eyes became very strange, he stared at me as if he were a monster, then he returned to normal and said, "I think it is better to open it.

This tomb should be the tomb of the burial chamber, or to prevent tomb robbers."

As for the fake tomb built, only by opening the coffin can one determine what kind of tomb it is.

The man who just left the bronze sword here must have found something and ran away in a panic.

It can scare people so much that they don't even care about life-saving things.

The things inside this coffin are not simple.

You don't want to see what's inside.

What, Qin Feng?"

Jin Yuanzhong seemed to have guessed what I was thinking.

In the tomb robbing business, you must open a coffin when you see it, no matter what is inside, because people are always curious, especially about things they have never seen before. of curiosity.

I also want to see what's inside this coffin.

I nodded to Jin Yuanzhong and said, "Open."

As soon as we put our hands on the sarcophagus, a sound like claws clawing on wooden boards suddenly came from the coffin.

It sounded particularly obvious in the silent tomb, and it sounded very uncomfortable.

There was a very regular sound, and after nine scratches, another meow came from the coffin.

The man named Jin shouted out almost at the same time as me: "Nine-lived cat corpse" Ouyang Yuetong asked: "What is the Nine-Life Cat Corpse?"

"The Nine-Lived Cat Corpse is a legendary zombie.

Even my grandfather has only heard of it but has never seen it.

The method of making this zombie is derived from Maoshan Technique, and the process is extremely complicated.

After a person dies, find nine black cats. , each cat's two eyes must be different colors, which are the so-called yin and yang eyes.

At midnight, when the Yin Qi is at its strongest, nine cats are placed around the corpse at the same time.

The cat's head is chopped off, and the cat's blood flows to the corpse.

Finally, some spells from Maoshan Shu are added to make the corpse itself produce earth-shattering effects.

The grievance becomes a zombie, and the face of the corpse will slowly turn into a cat face.

My grandfather once said that if you see a Nine-Life Cat Corpse, run away.

If you can't run away, use a sword stained with a boy's blood to stab the Nine-Life Cat Corpse from the top of its head, because the Nine-Life Cat Corpse's weak point is on its top of the head.

"I explained.

At this time, Jin Yuanzhong and I had already withdrawn our hands from the sarcophagus.

Jin Yuanzhong's face was very ugly and he said, "I finally understand why that man was so scared that he didn't even care about the bronze sword of the Warring States Period and ran away.

Qin Feng, do you know the four corpse kings?"

Ouyang Yuetong was the first to say, "I know this.

They are characters from ancient legends: Hou Qing, Ying Gou, Han Bao, and General."

I rolled my eyes at Ouyang Yuetong and said, "You also know that he is a character in ancient legends.

The four corpse kings are the nine-life cat corpse, the three-eyed infant corpse, the blood widow and the double-pupil ghost corpse.

When my grandfather was young, he lived in the Warring States Period.

I met a blood widow in a tomb.

More than a dozen people were there, and only my grandfather and another senior survived.

My grandfather didn’t tell me the specific situation.

He just said that he should stay away from such things.

For good.”

Jin Yuanzhong nodded and said, "Well, it seems that the person who built this tomb is not only a master of tomb robbing, but also a Maoshan veteran.

Now there is some trouble
