Chapter 58 Mermaid Oil
Zuo Shisan walked around the front step by step from behind the black shadow.
He walked forward two steps and shone the black shadow's face with a strong light flashlight. A strange human face appeared in the light of the strong light flashlight!
The expression on the human face was a bit ferocious, and the ferocious and terrifying expression seemed to be frozen on the face, without any change.
When Zuo Shisan saw this, he knew that the person in front of him was definitely not a living person, so he moved a few steps closer and spilled the cinnabar powder in his hand on the man.
The red cinnabar powder was like a big net, covering the man's body at once.
The cinnabar fell, but the person in front of him still did not react at all. The ferocious expression on his face had never changed. Zuo Shisan's curiosity was prompted to start moving forward.
As the distance got closer, the ferocious expression on the man's face became more and more terrifying. Zuo Shisan had basically confirmed that the person standing in front of him was a dead body.
Male, thinner, about forty years old.
The entire body of the corpse seemed to be completely wrapped in a transparent wax.
On the face of the corpse, the wrinkles were clearly visible, and its eye sockets were completely sunken, and its eyeballs were shrinking into a small white ball, with its mouth wide open, and its hands stretched forward, as if it wanted to catch something before dying..."
Zuo Shisan saw that the person was wearing and the equipment he was carrying, and he should be a tomb robber.
Seeing this, Zuo Shisan was a little surprised. He couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that before this, there were tomb robbers who found the tomb of King Dian before us?
Zuo Shisan was looking at the corpse in front of him and pondering, but suddenly the old bald voice came from the opposite side:
"Young man, have you seen it clearly? What exactly is that?"
Zuo Shisan looked at the opposite side and shouted:
"There is no danger, come here, it's just a dead body."
After hearing the words of Zuo Thirteen, Miao girl Ling'er brought everyone over.
When they saw this strange male corpse clearly, a look of confusion appeared on everyone's face.
Why is a tomb robber wearing modern clothes sealed here by wax?
If we infer according to common sense, no matter what, a living person cannot seal his wax without being controlled.
Even if the wax juice is poured over this person, it will take time for the wax juice to solidify, and the living person will continue to struggle and wipe off the wax juice from his face and body.
Therefore, if you want to use wax seal to kill a person, you must completely fix his body and be able to complete it without moving or struggling.
But the wax-sealed male corpse in front of me was not limited at all, so how to use the wax-sealed method to kill it?
Shang Yunsu, Zhao Man and others frowned after seeing the wax-sealed male corpse.
At this moment, the old bald man walked to the front of the male corpse, reached out and placed his hand on the male corpse's face. He gently touched the transparent wax on the male corpse's face, then placed his hand under his nose, sniffed it gently, and the expression on his face instantly frozen:
"Ling'er, this...this wax is not right!"
Ling'er immediately asked when she heard the old bald man's words:
"Why is something wrong?"
"This...this is mermaid wax!" the old bald man said.
Everyone present was stunned after hearing the "mermaid wax"!
Whether it was Zuo Shisan and Ling'er, they all knew what mermaid wax was.
Since the War Han Dynasty, when the ancients were buried, they liked to use wax made of mermaid oil to completely seal their bodies with wax seal. This not only ensures that the corpse will not rot when it enters a vacuum, but also superstitiously believes that mermaids have the ability to attract people to air, and doing so can ensure that their evil souls after death will rise up as soon as possible and will not fall into the eighteen levels of hell.
The so-called mermaid is just a giant dragon fish in ancient rivers, similar to the ancestors of today's human-faced fish. This dragon fish has huge size and thick skin. Because its huge head resembles a human face, the refined dragon fish oil is also called mermaid oil.
At that time, this mermaid oil was comparable to gold and had a price but no market, so many fishermen on the riverside rushed to kill dragon fish in order to make profits. In the early Tang Dynasty, there was no record of living dragon fish...
If the wax sealed wax on this person is made of mermaid oil as the old bald man said, then... where did this mermaid oil come from?
Now that the dragon fish has long been extinct, can it be said that this tomb robber was sealed and killed by human oil remaining in the tomb of the Dian King?
But this explanation is too far-fetched.
"How is it possible? The mermaids have long been extinct!" Zhang Rong said.
The old bald man sneered, his expression on his face was a little complicated:
"Maybe we shouldn't have come to this Dian King's tomb."
Ling'er looked at the old bald man and asked:
"Old Ye, do you regret it?"
The old bald man shook his head and said:
"It's already down, and it's useless to regret it now. If we can't find the Dian King Seal this time, do you think the boss will let us go? I can see that he is bound to win the Dian King Seal this time."
The strong man nodded and said:
"That's right, the boss spent a lot of energy on this action. He was already in control. Who knew that a Dragon and Tiger Sect Qingyou came out halfway."
Ling'er's red lips moved:
"I want to see if this mermaid oil is really like the rumor. It can be burned for three days and three nights with just a few drops."
"Ling'er, do you want to ignite this dead body?" asked the old bald man.
Ling'er nodded and took out a talisman from her body.
The old bald man quickly stopped him:
"Don't worry, maybe we can find any clues from this person."
The old bald man said, pressing his head with one hand on the male corpse's head, and shocked the internal energy in his body, and all the mermaid oil that sealed the male corpse fell to the ground.
When Shang Yunsu saw this scene, he couldn't help but take a breath. The old bald man's cultivation and internal strength were far above him. It seemed that the three people sent by the Nine-Headed Buddha were not good at it. They might really fall into the hands of these three people this time.
The old bald man searched the male corpse and found a black token from his backpack.
"It turned out to be a corpse driving sect. He drove the dead corpse all his life, but was turned into mummy in the end. It was really interesting." The old bald man said, throwing the black token on the ground. When he was about to search, Ling'er suddenly spoke:
"Old Ye, something is wrong!"
When Lao Ye heard Ling'er's words, he immediately stopped the action in his hand:
"Why is something wrong?"
Zuo Shisan said:
"This dead man doesn't seem to die!"
Zuo Shisan said this because he saw the nails on the man's hands. The nails of ten fingers continued to grow after his death, and even began to roll them up. If he were a normal person, his nails would never grow again after death.
And the most important point: the male corpse seemed to be grinning just now!
