I saw the fat man hooking the ancient corpse's neck with a "corpse rope", rounding his arms and "slapping, snapping, snapping", and slapped the ancient corpse five loud times.
I quickly stopped him and listened to him It sounded weird, so he continued to ask: "Did you eat too much to hold yourself up?
Why beat someone to death?"
But then he thought , the fat man was hit by the "tongue drop" before, could it be that it was not completely eliminated and there was something left behind?
I think the owner of the "Witch Clothes" was also killed by King Xian.
Did she turn into a ghost and possess the fat man?
body, just to sneak into the underworld, imitate Wu Zixu’s behavior back then, and whip the corpse to vent his hatred Thinking of this, I immediately raised my hand and took off the fat man's gas mask.
Looking at his eyes, there was nothing special about him, but then I heard the fat man say: "It's so humid here, why did you take off my gas mask?"
He said and snatched it away He went back, put it on his face again, and continued: "Commander Hu, Chief of Staff Yang, can't you see it?
Look at this."
The fat man pointed at the head of the ancient corpse in the coffin.
As he was about to speak, the head of the eyeless ancient corpse suddenly shook three times on the body.
After shaking it three times, he heard a "thump" and fell off.
He came down and just landed on the edge of the "Stone Spirit Ghost Coffin".
The stone spirit was as smooth as ice.
After stopping for a moment, it immediately rolled to the ground of the wooden coffin.
The three of them were all shocked.
The ghost coffin made by the stone spirit was very tightly sealed and unusual.
Although the "stone spirit" with extremely yin energy was regarded as an ominous thing, its unique cool properties It can preserve the original appearance of the corpse extremely well.
When the coffin is opened, the ancient The corpse's eyebrows were as raw as life, and the muscles had not shrunk or sunken.
Most of the water in the corpse was locked in it.
There was no sign of decay and dryness.
Why was the head so weak?
Even though the fat man slapped her hard these times. , and there is absolutely no way he could knock his head off The fat man also felt strange and immediately picked up the head that fell on the ground.
I saw that the skin of the head was gradually turning black.
This should be due to the humid air environment in the "wooden coffin", which had a rapid oxidation effect on the ancient corpses that had been placed in a closed environment for a long time.
The fat man said: "Why don't you hit me hard and just pull it down?
You shouldn't be able to pull it off."
Shiry Yang took the head of the ancient corpse from the fat man's hand: "Let me see."
Then he asked the fat man: "What did you want to say just now?
We didn't see anything."
The fat man said to Shirey Yang: "Oh, I said, couldn't you see what I was doing just now?
According to the blind fortune teller, when they were fighting upside down, when they encountered fresh corpses, they would tie them up with corpse ropes.
Wrap it around and slap it hard on the mouth.
If you don't do this, the corpse will be subdued.
There are also artifacts in the coffin that cannot be taken out.
When he told these things, we were eating together.
You should have heard it.
I wanted you to take a look.
The head of this rice dumpling is as useless as a living person.
Second, it should have been slapped first, but who would have thought that it would fall off as if it were made of paper.
I nodded and said: "So that's what you're talking about.
The blind fortune teller said so, but that's what they do.
They do it to embolden themselves and calm the dead body.
As for not slapping the dead man, his face You can't get away with it if you serve a clear weapon.

That's a bit self-deceiving, and most of the targets are newly deceased people who have just been buried in the grave.
It's really unnecessary for you to do this.
I announce that you will be revoked from the position of deputy commander from now on. " The fat man was about to argue, but he heard Shirey Yang holding the head of the ancient corpse and saying, "Stop arguing, come and see this head."
Then he put the head on the coffin lid for us to watch.
I went over and took a look twice.
In this short period of time, the head of the ancient corpse became darker than before, making it look extremely terrifying.
Especially the eyes were deeply sunken, making it look like a dark skull.
On the edges of the eye sockets, there were spiral circles of deep red blood marks.
Since the head was turning black and dry, I only took a glance and those marks were gone.
I haven’t seen many corpses in coffins in ancient tombs.
Of all the corpses, I only saw the tomb of the Jinren at Heifengkou and the jade coffin in the jungle at the entrance to Insect Valley.
There were corpses soaked in body fluids.
I saw these ancient corpses.
There was nothing special about the corpse's head except that the eyes were gouged out.
He asked Shirey Yang, "I'm not good at examining ancient corpses.
Do you think it's possible that this is the head of the king?"
Shiry Yang said: "It is still difficult to determine whether it is King Xian.
You just saw the traces of bowl torture on the eye box of the head.
In ancient times, there was a torture instrument that was shaped like a wine cup and had rotating blade teeth inside.
If you put it in a person's eye and turn it around, you can gouge out the whole eyeball alive."
The fat man and I nodded at the same time.
I saw an exhibition of ancient Tibetan customs in Beijing two years ago, which included a bowl for gouging out the eyeballs of living people.
However, those cultural relics were all from Tibet.
It turns out that the mainland also had the same torture instruments in ancient times, but this Why did an ancient corpse have its eyes gouged out before it was alive?
Why was it contained in a "ghost coffin" that was heavy with gloom?
No one other than members of the royal family was buried in the royal tomb.
So who is this ancient corpse?
In addition, I also found that under the head of this ancient corpse, there were traces of being cut with a sharp weapon, but it did not look like it had been decapitated, but that it had been cut off after death.
It seems that this was not a fat man who cut the bones of the ancient corpse with heavy hands.
It was interrupted by whipping.
The human head was originally spliced onto the corpse.
What was the reason for doing this?
Did the ancient Dian country have this custom of cutting off the head after death and then reattaching it?
I suddenly thought of a possibility, but I couldn't confirm it yet.
I had to look at the body in the "ghost coffin" before further confirmation, so we gathered in front of the coffin again.
I asked the fat man to hold up the flashlight to illuminate.
Shiry Yang and I move With his hands, he used a soldier's knife to cut through the layers of white brocade wrapped around the corpse.
During the Han Dynasty, kings had the custom of using jade robes, also called jade boxes, to embalm with cool and beautiful jade.
This ancient corpse was tightly wrapped in white brocade.
But showing his head outside, this seems very outrageous.
The white brocade also began to be eroded by damp mold.
The further inside, the harder it became to peel off.
Under the sultry gas mask, the tip of my nose was sweating.
Finally, with the help of Shiry Yang, I finally wrapped up the layers of monsters.
The shroud was completely torn apart.

When I was peeling off the several layers of white brocade, I noticed that the feel was different, but when I saw the situation inside, the beam of the flashlight shone into the coffin, reflecting countless golden lights onto the smooth stone surface.
The dazzling golden light seduces people's soul, and they are even more surprised.
How could it be like this?
In the white brocade where the corpse was shrouded, there was a golden skeleton.
Except for a few pieces of human heads on the spine and waist, the rest of the body was made up of gold.
There was not a trace of skin or flesh.
This half The half-gold bones seemed to have rotted to such a high degree that almost all of them turned into earth and air.
They were then artificially pieced together to create a set of golden bones.
These golden bones are in sharp contrast to the head that was knocked off by the fat man.
The bones are almost rotten and need to be filled with gold, but the head is not rotten at all.
It's because we took apart the shroud.
The white brocade causes the body to rapidly disintegrate and disappear into the air in an instant, which is absolutely unreasonable.
Shiry Yang said to me: "Old Hu, look at the neck of this golden bone.
There is a jade hoop that is used to connect the head.
Just now, the fat man slapped him and knocked off the jade hoop, causing the head to be broken."
Landing."
The fat man immediately said: "Chief of Staff Yang, it's your fault.
If it weren't for my commander's strong control, it would not be so easy to discover the secret of this ancient corpse.
No mortal can bear this body of golden bones.
I Look, this is that old guy Xian Wang.”
Shiry Yang didn't know whether it was true or not, he just pointed at the golden skeleton and said: "A few ribs are missing on the left side, it seems that they were not filled up on purpose."
Seeing that I already had a clue, I said to Shiry Yang: "This is obvious.
This maintains the appearance of the corpse being tortured by having its heart ripped out before death.
It seems that the ancient corpse in the ghost coffin was made from the three coffins in the tomb.
The owner of the coffin is a corpse that we have thought of before.
Three sets of special-shaped coffins from different periods contained three nobles who were executed.
Although they were executed, they were still given the same burial status as their production status.
They were all identified as the previous lives of King Xian.
It means that he has gone through three hells and is the shadow of him left in the underworld before he became an immortal."
Since ancient times, "Confucius has benevolence and Lao Tzu has Tao."
Taoism has specialized in cultivating qi in order to realize the Tao and become an immortal, free from the suffering of birth, aging, illness and death.
However, immortality is not something that can be obtained easily.
If you want to be reborn, it is not as simple as peeling off the skin. , must go through several major disasters , and these disasters are not forced, so some people in the Taoist sect find the bones of their previous three lives as substitutes, and bury them in the Yin cave as shadow bones, so as to show to the world that they have gone through the three hells, enough Can be reborn, so there is hope for this life to become an immortal.
It seems that this is what King Xian did.
The "wooden coffin" under the tomb of the Yin Palace represents the underworld.
The tortured parts of the three corpses are pieced together into a complete stand-in here.
And the three mutilated corpses, because It was recognized as the first three lives of King Xian, so it was no different from him, and was placed in the main tomb.
Shiry Yang had the same idea as me, and said to me: "Perhaps each layer of the tomb has different symbolic meanings.
The middle layer represents the human world, and the wooden coffin below represents the emptiness of the netherworld.
There should be another layer above the tomb.
The first floor of the tomb represents the side mountain, and the real bones of King Xian lie on the fairy mountain. " I said to Shiry Yang and Fatty: "What we just said is just a hypothesis.
We should further confirm it.
Not many people have seen the tomb of the king who cultivates immortality and seeks immortality like this.
It seems that there are chances everywhere, so why not first Look for anything else with information value in the coffin.
Now that we have seen the head and body, Shi Jing can In order to ensure the immortality of the body for thousands of years, the state of the bones should be consistent with the original appearance in their respective coffins.

I think the head is so well preserved that it must have come from that top-quality eight-inch plate coffin.
The bones in the middle section are almost rotten.
When it was gone, it had to be replaced with gold, which was mostly the remains of the bones in the sarcophagus, and the paint on the outside of the sarcophagus was sealed later.
The fat man said: "We haven't even seen the legs of this pieced-together stand-in body yet.
It might be some kind of valuable commodity."
I think that is unlikely.
The legs came from the huge bronze coffin.
The first two prisons are "gouging out the eyes" and "removing the heart", so the third prison must be the most terrifying "soul grabbing", so That’s why the master in the bronze coffin could be so vicious.
While peeling off the white brocade wrapped around the corpse’s legs, I asked Shiry Yang and the fat man: “Do you know what seizing a soul is?”
Shiry Yang said: "It seems that during the Shang Tang Dynasty, there was a kind of witchcraft that could remove the soul of a living person, and the remaining body became a walking corpse that was neither alive nor dead.
But how exactly it was done, in history There is no record in the book, and it is still a mystery.
Is that mysterious witchcraft the soul-stealing thing?"
While I was peeling off the white brocade of the corpse, I briefly told Shiry Yang something that happened not long ago.
The "soul-stealing" witchcraft did not disappear until the Warring States Period.
Once, in the Panjiayuan antique market, a witch suddenly appeared.
Bring some things Xi is an old farmer from Anyang, Henan.
He took more than a hundred strange-shaped bone tools to find a home.
Those things were a bit like "bone needles", but thicker and longer, with a hollow center.
They were all packed in a In an ancient earthen jar with ancient characters all over it.
The old farmer said that they were dug out in the ground.
Since there were oracle bone inscriptions on them, of course he didn't recognize them, but many valuable cultural relics had been unearthed in his area.
He just thought that these "bone needles" could be brought to Beijing.
It was sold for a lot of money, and many of us saw it at the time, but there were so many fakes at that time that no one could be sure.
After all, this thing was so old that no one had ever seen it before, and they didn’t even know what it was.
As a result, two Japanese people happened to be interested in it, and they were about to take it all away.
Unexpectedly, the fake thunder came and took away all the people and their belongings.
It turned out that this was the old farmer's hometown.
Someone saw him digging out antiquities and felt that Jealous, he uncovered the matter and chased it all the way to Beijing.
Later, he heard that the jar of "bone needles" he dug out was the torture tool used to perform "soul-stealing" witchcraft in the Shang Dynasty.
Now this thing is in the A local museum in Henan.
The fat man added from the side: "I asked specifically for this set of soul-stealing needles.
Now, one of these soul-stealing needles can be exchanged for an imported car.
We didn't have enough eyesight at the time, otherwise we would be the ones squatting in the earthen kiln now."
Gang up."
Shiry Yang said: "In this way, soul-stealing is a kind of torture that involves draining human blood."
I have removed all the white brocade wrapped around the bones in the coffin, and a pair of human legs were exposed.
The shriveled skin is purple-brown, and there are dots of round black marks on it.
These large black spots should be from the people who were robbed.
Where the soul needle pierced the bloodline, I said to Shiry Yang and Fatty: "It's not done when all the blood is drained.
It's said that you have to give more blood."
The tortured person is fed a large amount of mixed animal blood such as cattle, sheep, and chickens.
This blood is added with long-extinct things like bird eyes and corpse rats.
Anyway, it turns living people into zombies.
After we complete the investigation, in order to prevent the corpse from mutating, it is best to burn the two mummy legs and the coffin in the bronze coffin."
"Corpse transformation" can be divided into several types, some of which are corpse rises.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The newly dead people suddenly rise up and chase people with their yang energy; some corpses are dead but not rotting.
Although they have been dead for a long time, their hair and nails are still growing slowly; some corpses are buried in blocked earth veins due to bad Feng Shui.
Where the body is, fine hairs grow on the body, which turn into evil spirits in the tomb; there is another kind of corpse that is buried in the ground and is possessed by some spirited old foxes, weasels, or gods of plague, drought demons, and evil spirits. great.
The corpse in the bronze coffin of this king's tomb has all the signs of "corpse transformation".
I think that since we encounter this situation, if conditions permit, we should find ways to destroy the corpses with signs of corpse transformation.
Doing so will benefit people.
So far, everyone has made good money, which can be regarded as making up for some losses.
Of course, if you encounter the "ferocious" zombies, it is better to escape as soon as possible.
The three sections of the body have been identified and there is nothing extra in the coffin.
As long as we burn the body in the bronze coffin and confirm that only the upper body is in the coffin, we can completely confirm our inference.
The remaining two coffins in the tomb above , there is no need to turn it on again.
I said to Shiry Yang: "Now I can guarantee that although the layout of King Xian's tomb is weird, since there are shadow bones in the lower level, it must be divided into Tianmen and Dihu, so that the dragon is lurking and waiting.
This is a shrimp tail In the three-story water tomb composed of crab body and goldfish eyes, the location of the real bones of King Xian must completely coincide with the shadow bones in the wooden coffin.
Now that the shadow bones have been confirmed, we can directly dig out the bones of King Xian. ” We have been moving continuously for more than ten hours since we entered the Hulu Cave.
We have used up a lot of energy and physical strength, but now we finally have some insights, and the thought of this place refreshes our spirits.
I made a brief arrangement and asked Shiry Yang and Fatty to stay in the "Wooden Coffin" to burn the two corpses.
On the one hand, it would destroy the layout of the "Prince Xian Tomb", and on the other hand, it would prevent the corpses in the bronze coffin from happening in the future.
"Corpse Transformation", of course you can also take away the bronze mirror, it will always be used in the future.
I went up to look for the "goldfish eyes" first.
Before I went up, I specifically told Shirey Yang to watch the fat man, and be sure to light the coffin in the bronze coffin first, and then take away the bronze mirror.
Shirey Yang nodded in agreement and put the " "Flying Tiger Claw" was handed to me: "Be more careful yourself and don't be so reckless."
Then I climbed back to the middle tomb chamber with the rotten "wooden rafters".
The nine-blue "Eternal Life Candle" had not yet been extinguished, and the three candles in the southeast corner were still burning normally.
Although the light was weak, it was fascinating.
Feeling relieved.
I looked up at the broken copper beam on the top of the tomb.
Due to the lack of light, it was difficult to see if there was any space above it.
There was just a large white thing at the broken beam.
I saw that the spotlight on the helmet was not working, so I took out the " Only then did "Wolf Eyes" see clearly.
It turned out that the exposed part of the tomb roof was a kind of white quartz similar to the outer wall of the Yin Palace.
It was about directly above the "shadow bone".
If you didn't know that there might be a layer of tomb chambers above, you wouldn't know it.
You won't notice this tiny trace.
I then used Shiry Yang's Flying Tiger Claw to go up to the remaining copper beams on the top of the tomb and remove the broken tomb bricks that covered the white rocks inside.
It took a lot of effort, but the area of the white rocks above gradually increased, revealing a I took off my gloves and reached into the long and narrow olive-shaped entrance.
I could see the whooshing cold air.
I then used my "Wolf Eye" flashlight to shine upward.
It was difficult to confirm the height of the tomb above.
At a cursory glance, it seems that there is a large circular hollow above, similar to the funnel topography at the water pool outside.
However, this is a man-made construction and is much smaller in scale.
The diameter of the large hollow is only a dozen meters, and there is a winding slope.
And up, and up is beyond the range of the "Wolf Eye", and it is pitch black.
I kept cursing secretly in my heart: "Even if King Xian is dead, he still wants to place himself at the highest point in the underworld.
His persistence in power and immortality has reached the point of perversion."
I still remember "Wood" in my heart.

Seeing that the entrance had been confirmed, the companions in the "coffin" tied up the ropes and rock wedges and returned to the ground of the middle tomb.
They saw the light of fire flashing in the "wooden coffin" below, knowing that Fatty and the others had succeeded.
After a while, the fat man and Shirey Yang climbed up from below, and finally got the bronze mirror.
It was the second most valuable trophy after the jade letter in the back hall of the Tiangong Palace.
When the fat man met, he asked: "Bronze coffin" The mummy inside does have no legs and has stone legs instead.
How about Commander Hu, did you see any valuable artifacts up there?"
But at this time, I was staring at the firelight in the "wooden coffin" in a daze, turning a deaf ear to the fat man's words.
It took me a long time to come back to my senses.
I always felt that there was something important, but I couldn't remember it.
In fact, I didn't know what I wanted to do.
I can’t stand it, I still can’t bear it I thought about it in my heart, and the more I thought about it, the more my head hurt, so I tried not to think about it.
I turned around and said to Fatty and Shiry Yang: "There is a big hole above the middle tomb chamber.
King Xian must be hanging at the top, and the position is the same as the wooden coffin."
Corresponding to the shadow bones in it.”
No one wants to stay longer in the underworld where the dead sleep.
After saying that, they split up and used ropes to climb to the top of the tomb, which was more than three meters high, and got into the entrance I had cleared earlier.
The round cavity was too high and there was no way to go below.
As far as the top can be seen, there are no other bricks or wood materials here.
The water is all white quartzite, surrounding the hollow walls.
The surrounding walls are covered with large-scale colorful murals.
Han-Yi colors and religious colors are eclectic, and the style of the king and the elegance and illusion of immortality coexist.
This is a painting style that has never been spread in the world.
A closer look makes you feel the layout.
The meticulousness, rigorous intentions, and straightforwardness are astonishing.
I guess with such exquisite murals in the tomb, the core of King Xian’s tomb should not be far away.
The characters in the painting are all angry-looking gods, almost in proportion to ordinary people.
They all lower their heads and stare down, as if they are watching the visitor at the bottom of the cave.
Their eyes are all made of three layers of crystal, inlaid with fluorite, and the lights are shining.
As we follow As the position moved, the eyes of the portrait also moved.
In short, the feeling of being stared at by so many portraits was very unpleasant.
The fat man was so disgusted by the figures in the paintings that he used a sapper shovel to randomly dig out a few crystal eyes.
However, the murals were huge in scale with hundreds of figures, so he couldn't find them at the moment, so he had to try not to look at the eyes of the portraits, lest he Feeling fear.
I kept thinking about the scorching flame breath and the strange-looking bronze figure in my mind.
I didn’t pay much attention to the portrait in the big hole.
I walked up the spiral slope for a while, and finally remembered that about ten years ago It's a matter of human nature: "Ten years passed with a flick of the finger, especially in the smoke of the war, the nine deaths were as good as yesterday."
I have indeed seen this kind of bronze figures with strange costumes and postures before, but they are Kham Qingpu under the Kunlun Mountains and the sky is full of snow.
All kinds of messy thoughts came to me.
Before I knew it, I had reached the highest point of the cave, a turning distance ahead of Fatty and Shiry Yang.
The end was blocked by a white stone wall.
I looked up and saw the wall in front of me.
There is a woman painted on it.
This is probably a portrait of the king’s wife.
I was thinking this in my mind, and before I even saw the woman's clothes and appearance clearly in the painting, I felt a sudden tightening on my wrist, as if it was tightly held by an iron hoop.
I couldn't break free, and I suddenly felt pain in my bones.
When I lowered my head, I saw a white human hand stretching out from the portrait of the woman opposite and grabbing my arm.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The five fingers of the man's hand were slender, and the white hand was not a trace of blood.
It was a woman's hand, but it was extremely powerful.
Could it be that this wall was where the bones of Xian Wang's wife were buried?
In the severe pain, I had no time to raise my head to see what was on the mural on the opposite side.
Change, I have to endure the pain I took a breath and raised the "Chicago Typewriter" with my other hand.
Before the muzzle of IAI's gun was raised, another hand suddenly stretched out from the mural, like a cold iron pliers, and pinched my wife tightly. , the feeling of suffocation suddenly made the eyes darken
