"Brother Yu, look at this long hair! She is really a woman!"
The three of us were lying next to the coffin holding up flashlights, and we were really frightened at first sight.
The face of this female corpse was covered with a quilt, and only her hands and hair were exposed. Her hair was very long, almost hanging down her waist. The skin on the back of her hands was gray-black, and her fingers were shaped like chicken claws. Judging from the outline of her body under the quilt, she must have bones and flesh.
, the source of the fragrance in the tomb is the female corpse itself.
This was completely unexpected. I thought there would be rotten bones when I opened the coffin.
Dou Yazai pressed the back of the female corpse's hand with his hand. Surprisingly, her skin was still elastic! There was also a layer of oily "grease" on the surface of her skin.
Brother Yu asked me in a low voice: "Yunfeng, do you think this woman has no bones or is a wet corpse?"
"No, this is obviously a mummy, Brother Yu, and it's not an ordinary mummy."
How can this be
Qiandao Lake is humid all year round, with abundant rainfall all year round, and it is not in the dry northwest desert area. How could mummies appear? I am puzzled, because this completely goes against common sense.
Douyazai bit down on the flashlight and slowly took away the quilt. Only then did we get a clear view of the female corpse.
The mouth of this female corpse is closed, and the eyes are just two holes. They have skin and flesh, but the inner eyeballs are long gone. The cheeks have shrunk severely due to dehydration. The long eyelashes are clearly visible, the small nose, small eyes, and the whole face is oily.
Black, Dou Sprout breathed into the female corpse's face, and even felt her eyelashes move.
The female corpse was lying on her back, with her hands flat on both sides of her waist, her legs slightly spread, and her legs were as thin as bamboo poles. The whole body was oily and black, just like the kind of Sichuan people hanging on the beams that are still dripping after being dried.
Oily old bacon.
I have seen some ordinary mummies, but those dry ones would be as oily as hers.
I didn't describe it as scary, but it actually looked very scary. Douyazai stared at the female corpse and frowned and said, "Girl, why do you look like this? You're still covered in oil. It's scary. We only want money and we try not to touch you."
, don’t blame me.”
Brother Yu turned to me and asked: "Yunfeng, I seem to have heard from my boss before that there is a kind of ancient corpse called a tanned corpse. Do you think this one is a tanned corpse?"
"Brother Yu, this is definitely not the case. Tanned corpses are also called soft-skinned corpses. They are very light and even the bones in their bodies are soft. That kind of thing only appears in swamps and is impossible to see in the mountains."
The soft-skinned corpse that Brother Yu said looks even scarier. There is a soft-skinned corpse named "Mr. Sui" in the Jingzhou Museum. You can see it by buying a ticket, but the appearance of the corpse has been greatly processed.
The inside of its body is filled with a large amount of silicone. If it were to remain as it was, adults would probably have nightmares just looking at it.
"Fengzi, what kind of corpse do you think this is?"
I thought about it and shook my head: "I don't know, it might be a new type of mummy formed under some special circumstances."
"A new type of mummy? Is it valuable? I heard that foreign mummies are very expensive, and many rich people buy them for collection." Douyazai asked me.
"You don't care whether it's valuable or not, do you still want to carry it out? Don't cause trouble for me. This thing is of no use to anyone except the archaeological team."
"Help me take the photo and I'll take two pictures."
I took two photos of the female corpse's face, thinking about going back and asking the knowledgeable Baotou what kind of corpse this was. I still have the photos, and in the process I discovered a detail.
The female corpse's hair and eyelashes are still there, but there are no teeth in her mouth, not even a single tooth. In addition, she also has no fingernails or toenails. It seems that they were artificially removed at that time.
"Okay, hold it for me."
Passing the phone to Dou Yazai, I dipped my fingers into some of the grease on the female body and watched curiously.
After smelling it, there was a strange smell mixed with the fragrance, so I quickly licked it.
"Fengzi, you're not afraid of being poisoned by corpse poison. What does it smell like?"
"Where the hell is there so much corpse poison!"
I tasted it again, frowned and said, "It smells like Chinese medicine, and there seems to be a smell of sulfur."
"Fengzi, it seems to me that there aren't many burial objects here."
"You know what, there must be something down there."
We removed the quilt and worked together to lift the female corpse up. As I expected, a large number and variety of funerary objects were instantly exposed underneath!
There are dozens of jade articles of all kinds, including jade rings! Jade cicadas! Jade birds! Jade congs! Jade waist buttons! Jade bracelets! Jade necklaces, etc.! There are also silver combs! Gold hairpins! Gold belt hooks! Bronze mirrors! Pink
Makeup box! There is also a large string of shells strung together with threads. The surface of the shells is gilded with silver. The beads between the shells are colorful, including tourmaline, agate, lapis lazuli, and turquoise. This is my first time using this thing.
The real thing, this is called "silver shell bead jacket", which in the Song Dynasty could only be owned by women with royal connections.
My breathing became rapid. This is the charm of the Song Dynasty Tomb. It is small, but it can do miracles. There are so many good things! I didn’t know which one to take first. Bean Sprout’s eyes were red. This female corpse was covered in mystery.
, I specially nicknamed her "Chun'an Fragrant Corpse".
The further down we went, the more surprises appeared, and we even found a complete "parrot cup". Bean sprouts kept shouting: "It's made! It's made! I'm rich this time!"
From the half piece of jade pendant, I inferred that the tomb owner had a high status, but I didn’t expect it to be of such high status. Is this a princess from the late Song Dynasty, or a concubine?
Who could she be?
I recalled in my mind the history of the late Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, Fang La rebelled first, and the Jingkang Disgrace occurred within a few years. At that time, from the empress and concubine to the princess and eldest daughter, tens of thousands of people were led by the Jin people.
Arriving in the Kingdom of Jin, it is recorded in Song history that only one concubine survived because she lived outside the city. Could it be this female corpse?
I feel like there might be something fishy going on.
Dou Yazai and Brother Yu were busy collecting the burial objects, and I held up a flashlight to look inside the tomb.
I carefully looked at the murals on the wall and the brick carvings. I looked through them all, but I didn't find any pattern or text that recorded the identity of the female corpse, nor did I find any epitaph.
In the past, women generally did not have a personal stamp. If they did not even have an epitaph, it would be very difficult to confirm their true identity.
Why was she buried in Chun'an? How did she become such an oil corpse? The exterior of this tomb is not far from Fangla Cave. Is she related to Fangla from the same period?
I can't figure it out, these are all mysteries at the moment.
Dou Sprout filled a bag full of funerary objects. He shouted to me: "Fengzi will make a fortune this time! Leave quickly!"
"You two send the things up first. I'll check if there's anything left behind, right away."
"Then hurry up! It will be dawn soon!"
After the two of them went out, I looked into the coffin and said, "With such beautiful hair, you must have been a very magnificent person back then. I am a tomb robber. I can't do anything to take your things. As the saying goes, money is something outside of life. So,
It’s better than letting those archaeological teams discover you.”
I continued: "Do you know that you are special? If the archaeological team discovers it first, you will be in trouble. At that time, they will definitely put you naked in a glass cabinet and make countless modern people look like monkeys.
Let’s go see it all the same.”
"I'm different. I won't tell anyone else the secrets you keep here. Just treat me as if I've never been here and sleep peacefully."
Before grabbing the rope and preparing to go up, I looked back and added, "Bye bye."
