The scar extended straight from the left temple to the right, across the upper eyelid and bridge of the nose, and finally disappeared at the corner of the right eye.
I deliberately opened my eyelids and took a look.
The left eye socket of the mummy was completely empty, and there was an equally shriveled eyeball in the right eye socket.
Apart from this corpse, there were no other burial objects in the coffin.
Zuo Youdao reached out and touched the arms and legs of the corpse, and said with some confusion: "After so many years of death, the bones have not become brittle, judging from the color of the skin."
As he spoke, Zuo Youdao scanned the mummy several times, and then continued: "This man should have taken a large amount of mercury before he died.
His physique is quite special and he can completely digest and absorb the mercury.
However, the mercury still caused some problems with his nervous system.
You can see that his spine is already showing signs of distortion. " I said: "Isn't this person Xu Blind?"
Zuo Youdao was noncommittal: "It's hard to say.
I don't know whether this blind man Xu is completely blind or only blind in one eye.
The corpse shown here is not completely blind.
He should have been a one-eyed dragon during his lifetime."
I guess it’s impossible for Blind Xu to be blind, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to design and build such a complicated mechanism.
But when I think about it, Ke Zongbi of Soul Retreat Manor is obviously also a blind man, but he always seems to be unable to see anything.
I can see the same thing, so I can't give a positive or negative answer to the question of whether the blind Xu is completely blind.
It is estimated that Zuo Youdao was also thinking of Ke Zongbi before he said what he just said.
If the mummy in the sarcophagus is Xu Xiazi, why is he buried here?
According to Zhou Lianshan, Blind Xu was the last person to enter the underground darkroom.
At that time, the corpse demon had already entered the ground.
There could not be any other living people underground.
How did Blind Xu put himself in this coffin after death?
How is the coffin lid weighing hundreds of kilograms put on?
Yes, Blind Man Xu may indeed be a strongman.
Maybe hundreds of kilograms of heavy stones wouldn't be able to stop him in the first place.
But don't forget, Zuo Youdao also said just now that when he died, his nervous system had been damaged by mercury.
After being tortured, his spine began to deform.
In such a state, no matter how strong the blind man Xu was, he couldn't do anything with the coffin lid.
Unless he entered the coffin, closed the lid, and then took mercury before suffocating himself to death.
But Zuo Youdao and I searched for a long time in the coffin, but we couldn't find the container used to hold the mercury at all.
Weird The two of us repeatedly explored the inside of the coffin, but found nothing.
The two of us could only raise our heads and stare at each other with small eyes.
We were stunned for a while.
At this time, there was an explosion under our feet sooner or later. snap The source of the sound seemed to be very deep underground, so that the sound sounded very faint, but due to the extremely quiet surroundings, the two of us heard it clearly.
It was a sound similar to the sound of electricity hitting metal.
It only appeared for a very brief moment and then disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, I vaguely felt a shadow flashing around me.
The shadow, like the explosion, appeared and disappeared suddenly, and existed for a very short time.
At first I thought I was hallucinating, but Zuo Youdao also frowned and looked in the direction of the shadow, and I knew he had also seen the phantom just now.
I also raised my head and looked in the direction where the shadow appeared, while carefully recalling its appearance in my mind.
Although I only had a very vague impression, I seemed to be able to vaguely see it.
It was an old man standing hunched over in the dark.
I couldn’t tell whether it was a man or a woman, but from the way it bent down and leaned towards the coffin, I could tell that it was a man.
Look, it's either staring at the sarcophagus or poking its head over there to observe me and Zuo Youdao.
Zuo Youdao looked around and his face became a little solemn: "It shouldn't be a ghost."

I was also wondering if what we saw just now was a ghost.
Since Zuo Youdao said no, it must not be.
Zuo Youdao was born with a heavenly eye.
You must know that before the heavenly eye was formed, it was actually a commonly known yin-yang eye.
People with this kind of eyes can see ghosts even without relying on telekinesis, and that kind of vision is just like us seeing things normally.
If there really is a ghost in this tomb, Zuo Youdao will be able to see it no matter how it hides itself.
But if it's not a ghost, what is the thing that just appeared around us?
There followed a long silence, both of us holding our breath, waiting for the shadow to appear again.
I don’t know how long it took, but there were still only the breathing sounds of Zuo Youdao and me in the tomb.
The explosions in the ground didn’t appear again, and the shadow didn’t appear again.
Later Zuo Youdao said to me: "There must be something else underground."
After hearing what he said, I turned my mind back to the right path.
It was time to look for a secret passage leading to the ground nearby.
In fact, I have been observing the situation in the tomb since just now.
The walls here seem to be very complete.
There are no traces of digging grooves for mechanisms.
The ceiling and ground are also solid.
It seems impossible that there is a secret door.
But the strange thing is that the wall at the end of the tomb is not made of stone bricks, but directly made of mud and coated with moisture-proof powder.
Because the moisture-proof powder Xu Xiazi used looked very similar to the copper salt on bronze, I thought the wall was made of bronze at first, until I found that the four edges of the wall were different.
There were a lot of cracks, and those cracks extended in a thunderous manner.
It seemed that Xu Xiazi had set a strong fire while baking the mud wall, causing cracks on the edges of the wall.
I guessed that there might be a special arrangement behind this wall, so I took out a mountaineering hammer and steel nails, and carefully cut out small holes in the wall.
This was mainly because I suspected that there might be a mechanism buried inside the wall.
If the wall is demolished by force, it will be dangerous if it is not done properly.
After chiseling a few nails together, there was no problem, so I became a little bolder and increased the force of the hammer slightly.
Unexpectedly, the first time I applied force, the climbing nail penetrated the wall directly.
At that time, I hit it with a few hammers, and the nail was forced into the wall with great difficulty.
Before half of the nail had penetrated the wall, I felt a sudden sudden change on the hammer head.
Without any resistance, the steel nail sank into the wall in an instant, leaving only one nail cap exposed.
The thickness of this wall is only eight or nine centimeters.
With such a thin wall, it is impossible to place a mechanism inside.
I couldn't help but wonder why Blind Xu would erect such a mud wall here.
Such a thin wall is really no different from paper.
Let alone mine, a stronger adult could kick it.
Collapsed.
This tomb seems to me to be extremely weird, and many things cannot be seen with normal eyes.
But the more this happens, the more uneasy I feel.
When Zuo Youdao saw the steel nails sinking into the wall, he couldn't help but frown: "Such a thin wall."
I was very confused and didn't know how to respond to him.
I just smacked my lips, held the nail cap, and pulled the steel nail out of the mud wall.
Relying on the ghost eyes, I can see the scene on the other side without leaning over the hole.
There is also a small separated tomb on the other side of the wall.
The area of the tomb is only about 20 square meters.
There is also a stone coffin in the center of the room.

However, this stone coffin is obviously much older than the coffin around us.
The edges and corners of the coffin have been corroded very smoothly, and there are many words engraved on the four sides of the coffin.
However, due to the severe erosion, it is impossible to tell what is written on it.
However, judging from the last outline of the words, it seems that they are all These are some very old oracle bones.
Behind this coffin, there are three wooden coffins standing.
These three coffins should be products of the Chenghua period.
If they were as old as the stone coffins in the compartment, they would have rotted to the point of leaving no residue.
However, even the things from the Chenghua period were quite rotten.
The three coffins looked like they were about to collapse.
The lid of one of the coffins even collapsed with a large hole, and the contents inside could be seen.
Not only was the body not shriveled, but it was severely edematous, as if it had been inflated.
I told Zuo Youdao about the situation in the cubicle.
Zuo Youdao lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment before he said to me: "If I guessed correctly, those three coffins should all be coffins for corpses.
The person who set up the coffins is probably I wanted to turn the corpse inside into a zombie, but probably because I wasn’t skilled enough, I ended up only raising a zombie.”
The so-called corpse evil is an evil corpse artificially refined using resentment and yin energy as materials, while the corpse puppet is the product of failed corpse refining.
However, Zuo Youdao also said that these were just his speculations, because he could not sense the corpse energy in the standing coffin, and he could not tell for the time being, whether there was a problem with his ability to perceive the Qi field, or whether it was the corpse energy in the coffin.
The corpse is not an evil thing at all.
But not only are these five-hundred-year-old corpses not shriveled and rotting, but they are also swollen like that.
This is obviously the result of a large amount of corpse energy accumulated in the abdomen.
If you say they are not evil, I don't even believe in ghosts.
Afterwards, Zuo Youdao and I decided to dismantle the mud wall and take a look in the opposite compartment.
We can't blame us for being hesitant, this tomb is really weird, and even a veteran like Zuo Youdao must be extra cautious.
During the process of demolishing the mud wall, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but for a while I couldn't tell what was wrong.
It wasn't until the flying dust stirred up when the mud wall collapsed made me sneeze several times that I realized that I couldn't distinguish the muddy smell from the dust.
Everyone in the Jin family has the ability to recognize fragrance and identify ancient things.
Even if they don’t smell ancient things, their sense of smell is slightly more sensitive than ordinary people.
But now it’s like my sense of smell has completely failed.
I’m just breathing mechanically and can’t smell anything.
Even the musty smell that had been permeating the air before could no longer be smelled.
At this time, Zuo Youdao also said dullly: "I can't sense the Qi field anymore
