Chapter 277 Head is gone

When the fat man heard what Hu Bayi said, he thought that Hu Bayi was afraid of being suspected of his true identity due to Xu Er's presence, so he said in an official tone: "No matter what is inside, or this body, it is for us to understand the history

That... important job. Teacher Hu, we are not tomb robbers. How could we not do rescue excavation because we suspected that there was nothing in the tomb? I think since we are here, we still have to seize the time to rescue. Xiao

Brother, what do you think?"

Seeing the fat man throwing the problem to him, Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Teacher Hu also said just now that this thing is called the Hundred Ghost Soul Gathering Coffin. It is something made by evil people. I guess the one in this tomb is

Eighty percent of the corpses are ordinary people they tricked and kidnapped, and maybe there were live pistons inserted into them. They were not buried in a geomantic treasure land to bless future generations. How can they be revealed... Burial objects, they have no research value...

"

When the fat man heard this, he saw Hu Bayi nodding silently, and he understood what Xiao Ran said.

"Not only were there no burial objects, I remember my grandfather said that he saw the locals opening several coffins, and the corpses inside were all incomplete. Either an arm or a leg was missing, and there were many more inside the coffin lid.

Scratches. I guess those evil ways of worshiping gods may be like what Brother Xiao said. They were probably suffocated to death in there, so that the resentment can be strongest."

After hearing Hu Bayi's last addition, Fatty felt like a deflated rubber ball and suddenly felt dull. But when he looked at the corner of the sarcophagus he found at the foot of the hillside, he was always a little reluctant.

"Lao Hu, even though I say that, we can't... take a look again? What if we discover something? An academic discovery!"

Seeing that the fat man couldn't restrain his curiosity and even started to make up nonsense, Hu Bayi sighed helplessly and said: "If you really want to do it, just do it. I'll just take it as a study. But let's agree in advance to open the coffin."

From now on, no matter what is inside, after reading it, keep it intact and cover it up."

When the fat man saw Hu Bayi finally nodded, he excitedly took out his compass, ran to the sarcophagus and found the southeast corner, and then rummaged through his backpack.

Hu Bayi's original intention was to see the shape of the Hundred Ghost Soul Gathering Coffin and satisfy the fat man's curiosity, so this kind of opening the coffin was not considered a trick, and there was no need to go through those formalities.

But before he could say anything to stop him, Xu Er had already handed over a candle and the matchbox.

When Xu Er did this, both Hu Bayi and Fatty were dumbfounded. They looked at Xu Er, looked at each other, and then turned to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran said with some embarrassment: "Well, we used to open coffins under Xianniang Temple. This process...he is familiar with it."

The fat man suddenly understood and said to Xu Er: "I hope you know what we do, right? You let us waste half a day of love here, why didn't you say anything earlier?"

Xu Er chuckled and said: "I don't know what you do, but you are definitely not university professors. I have seen university professors in the county, and there are none like you. But I know that you are definitely not bad people...

The black blind man is better off."

"Bah, bah, bah! Don't compare us with that black blind man. It's bad luck. Besides, are we a little better? Are we much better?"

The fat man got angry when he heard about the black man, but he had no other way to do it. When Hu Bayi saw this, he smiled and said: "Brother Xiao, you didn't tell me earlier. Since you have already made your cards clear, there is no need to beat around the bush. Fatty, let's

This time it’s just to open the coffin and open your eyes. It’s really purely academic research. You don’t need to take anything, and there is no need to light candles.”

The fat man originally wanted to fish in troubled waters, but he didn't expect that Hu Bayi didn't even light a candle. He was determined not to touch anything, so he could only vent his anger on Xu Er.

"Did you hear that? What are you still doing? Dig!"

Fatty and Xu Er wielded engineering shovels, and Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran also went over to help. After a while, a very rough sarcophagus was exposed to everyone's sight.

This sarcophagus was simply sealed with rammed earth and filled with seams. I don’t know how many years have passed, but it has been surrounded by weeds. These weeds have grown over time and have slightly separated the lid and body of the coffin. There is no need to worry about the coffin at all.

Are there any toxic gases in it?

"Stay back, stay back! Look at my fat man!"

The fat man saw that the lid of the coffin was somewhat loose, so he drove the others away, picked up the engineering shovel and inserted it into the gap in the sarcophagus, causing weeds and broken loess to splash and fall.

No matter what is in the coffin, or whether there is anything at all, for Fatty, opening the coffin itself is a very exciting experience. Xiao Ran completely understood his mood, so he stood beside it with the other two people and watched quietly.

The fat man pried open the coffin lid little by little.

With such a big blind box, there might really be some hidden money to be found.

The fat man hardly exerted much force, he just shoveled around the sarcophagus a few times. With the last force, the sarcophagus lid fell to the side. He excitedly put his head in to look, but his face fell instantly.

"Come on! It's nothing to see. It doesn't even have a skeleton. It's really boring..."

Xiao Ran, Hu Bayi, and Xu Er also came closer and looked into the coffin. They saw that a layer of loess had already accumulated in the coffin, and there were even a few weeds that had taken root, but they had withered and died in the coffin.

In addition to loess and dead grass, there was a headless skeleton in the coffin. The body had long been weathered into bone fragments and was wrapped in a layer of tattered cloth.

This blind box really has a hidden version, and the hidden part is the head.

And on the fallen coffin lid, as Hu Bayi speculated, there were desperate scratches.

"This is strange. The corpse has no head. How did it cut the coffin like this? Could it be that it was a fake corpse?" asked the fat man.

Hu Bayi shook his head and said: "That's impossible. My guess is that the person should be put in the coffin first and suffocated to death, to arouse the resentment before his death, then open the coffin, cut off the head, and then cover the coffin hastily.

Now that this is the case, let’s open two more of them.”

The four people hurriedly opened two more sarcophagi. As expected, the conditions inside were exactly the same, with broken skeletons without heads and scratches on the coffins.

"It seems that all the heads of these corpses were cut off and they were taken to unknown places," Hu Bayi said.

Xiao Ran and Xu looked at each other. They remembered that under the Xianniang Temple, in the tenth gate, those heads were planted in clay pots like fields. However, the sarcophagi in these mountain ridges should be larger than those of Tianling Sanren.

The Xianniang Temple Underground Palace was even earlier, so there must have been people doing this kind of thing of killing people and harvesting crops before then.

In this way, the words of the Soul-locking Lingzhu are correct. It seems that the souls of those people were taken away along with the severed heads.

The fat man's curiosity was satisfied, and Hu Bayi had finally finished studying the Hundred Ghost Soul Gathering Coffin. They re-covered the coffin lid and buried it, bowed symbolically, and headed towards the pine forest again.
