Chapter 12 Drive the Corpse! Xiangxi Secret Art and Cinnabar
"Si Daopu!" I shouted to this Taoist priest quickly, otherwise I would be covered in saliva by him again. After a pause, I moved Su Chujun into the freezer, turned back and continued: "I am not possessed by evil spirits.
I figured out one thing: this fake death medicine has two inheritance lines. One line is in China, and the Chinese line is divided into two branches. One is the Dadula organization that holds orthodox prescriptions, and the other is in China.
Xiangxi, the so-called secret technique of exorcising corpses in Xiangxi, inherited this corpse-controlling drug and modified it with innovation. Most of the corpse-controlling spells used by Wang Yongshun came from this line. The other lineage is from Haiti, in
It has its own system in terms of corpse control spells.”
Having said that, I couldn't help but think to myself: No wonder Chen Ziqi tried every means to win over Wang Yongshun. Not only did he work in the morgue, which made it easier to steal corpses and exchange them, but also because he mastered corpse control spells that Chinese people who don't understand French can understand.
And Li Qianyu, well, I really don’t know how to evaluate this woman with ever-changing thoughts. What she gave me was indeed another secret corpse-controlling spell from Haiti, but if Xiao Luqi hadn’t happened to understand French, I’m afraid
It doesn't work at all.
Zhu Junxuan said "hmm" and said: "I didn't expect that Dadula's real mission was to protect this strange medicine and the safety of Qin Shihuang's body."
I nodded and said: "So, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is near Lishan, so Dadula is a Lishan Taoist priest. I think the Dadula organization should have been operating near Xi'an for most of the millennium. Just because
The previous Dadullah envoy's ambitions and absence from duty caused the center of the organization's activities to move from Xi'an to Shanghai. In 1974, when the Qinling Terracotta Warriors and Horses began to be excavated, the Dadullah organization showed no response, except for the people.
In addition to the fact that the dictatorship of the regime is stronger than any dynasty in history, the fact that the stage has moved away from Xi'an is also an important reason."
Zamao Xiaodao touched his nose and said: "If you say that the origin of this matter is the Qin Dynasty, and there is still a lineage left in western Hunan, it reminds me of a place. Have you heard of the ancient town of Liye?"
When I heard the name, I suddenly realized. Yes! The ancient town of Liye is located in the Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in western Hunan. Speaking of this mysterious ancient town, the most famous thing is the large number of bamboo and wooden slips from the Qin Dynasty unearthed here.
There are nearly 30,000 pieces. The entire content of the slips involves all aspects of life. It very comprehensively reproduces the political, economic and cultural development of the Qin Dynasty, and reveals many unresolved mysteries. Except here, anywhere in China
Such rich and complete Qin Dynasty letter slips have not been found anywhere in the world.
I looked towards the Zamao Trail and said, "You are familiar with this place in western Hunan. It seems that you have been there many times?"
Zamao Xiaodao talked very pretentiously, saying: "That's right. Speaking of which, it's a coincidence. I have gone to Xiangxi many times to help Maoshan Master Li Daozi buy cinnabar for painting talismans. You also know that the better the talismans are.
, the higher the quality requirements for cinnabar. It was at that time that I met Di Fantian, who also went to buy cinnabar, and got some understanding of the art of exorcising corpses. This art of exorcising corpses is called "Laosi's" method of exorcising corpses.
In addition to the ancestral "Chenzhou Talisman", the tools needed by the craftsman are also indispensable: cinnabar. When exorcising the corpse, the old man will put the cinnabar on the forehead and heart of the corpse, the heart of the chest, the heart of the chest, and the heart of the left and right hands.
, the center of the foot, and other seven places, each place is pressed with a talisman, and then tied tightly with five-color cloth strips. These seven places are where the seven orifices come in and out, and they are sealed with cinnabar talismans to retain the seven souls of the deceased.
After that, some cinnabar must be stuffed into the ears, nose, and mouth of the deceased, and then sealed tightly with magic symbols. According to legend, the ears, nose, and mouth are the places where the three souls come in and out. This can keep them in the body of the deceased. Finally,
Put a rice dumpling leaf hat on the deceased to cover his face. After everything is done, the old man will recite the incantation and shout 'get up', and the corpse will stand up accordingly."
Li Feina was fascinated by what she heard. Even Zhu Junxuan only heard the name of this secret technique of controlling and exorcising corpses, but did not know the method. He also silently accepted the education of the Zamao Taoist priest.
But I, standing aside, was sweating profusely at the moment————
That day, when Wang Yongshun controlled Xiao Luqi for the first time at my house, he also held a piece of red paper written with golden ink, shook it a few times, muttered something in his mouth, and then shouted "get up", and Xiao Luqi
Climbed out of the refrigerator. Listening to what Zamao Xiaodao said just now, except for the fact that Wang Yongshun used a civet cyst, his other actions were exactly the same as the method of exorcising corpses! It seems that if I crack the code,
The mystery of the fake death drug will not only reveal the truth of the biggest unsolved case in decades, "Lin Family House No. 37," but also the "Xiangxi Corpse Exorcism Technique" that has been passed down for thousands of years and whose secrets are unknown to outsiders will be revealed to the world!
Zamao Xiaodao didn't know what I was thinking about, so he just continued: "I won't go into details. Just talk about this cinnabar. The reason why I went to Xiangxi to buy cinnabar is because the cinnabar produced in Chenzhou is the best in China.
Chenzhou cinnabar is also called 'Cinsha'. Therefore, the original name of the technique of exorcising corpses is actually called "Chenzhou cinnabar magic spell". It is mainly popular in the four places of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu. Because
This place has fine cinnabar..."
When he said this, I waved my hand to interrupt and said: "Wait a minute, you said the cinnabar produced in Chenzhou is called cinnabar?"
Seeing Zamao Xiaodao nodding firmly, I couldn't help but think of the five weird names written on the piece of brown paper left by my uncle. One of them was called "Zichen Shatai". If the word "sha" means "sha"
, then this "Zi Chen Sha Fei" refers to a kind of purple mother ore of Chenzhou cinnabar.
What is the mother ore of cinnabar? We all know that cinnabar is actually not mysterious. It is a red mercury sulfide mineral. During the circulation of surface or underground water, mercury ions are brought from the earth's crust and combine with sulfur ions under shallow low temperature conditions.
Combined, it forms mercury sulfide. The chemical molecular formula is hgs. Theoretically, it contains 86.2% mercury and 13.8% sulfur, but there are often impurities. It has a trigonal crystal system and is usually a fine-grained block. It is the only way to refine mercury.
Important minerals.
In other words, Sima Qian recorded in "Historical Records" that the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum was equipped with astronomy on the top, using gems as stars in the sky, each accurately distributed according to their position; and geography on the bottom, using mercury as hundreds of rivers, rivers and seas. According to modern archaeologists on site
Tests have shown that the mercury content in the soil beneath the mound of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum is eight times higher than that in nearby areas. This proves that there is indeed a large amount of mercury in the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, as recorded by Sima Qian.
The use of mercury in the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is not just as simple as posing the shapes of rivers, lakes and seas. High-concentration mercury vapor is highly toxic and also has antiseptic and anti-virus effects. Not only can Qin Shihuang's corpse and burial objects be preserved longer, but more importantly
What's more, it can kill tomb robbers who dare to break in. Especially with the development of modern technology, the "mechanized crossbow arrows" of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum that "shoot at all those who get close" are probably useless. But mercury vapor is of no use.
It's a gadget, but it's not a problem that ordinary tomb robbers can solve.
However, Qin Shi Huang cannot just focus on killing people and forget about himself. After all, in order to resurrect him, someone still needs to be able to break through the poison of mercury vapor and enter the tomb. It seems that this "Purple Chen Sand Body" is the magic weapon to restrain mercury vapor.
.
The reason why I say this is because of the name "Chensha Tong". Since cinnabar is mercury sulfide, then the cinnabar tire ore must be a sulfur ore. Sulfur is a non-metallic element with a very strong affinity. When it encounters mercury,
It will become mercury sulfide, which is cinnabar. In this way, mercury vapor cannot cause harm to the human body.
Although I chose liberal arts in high school, chemistry is not bad. I know very well: in nature, sulfur generally exists in various forms such as natural sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, metal sulfides and sulfates, and forms various types of sulfur
Mineral deposits. Natural elemental sulfur is generally in the form of needle-like and plate-like crystals, often produced in irregular blocks, usually in the form of dense blocks, powders, granules, strips, etc. Crystal forms are rare. Natural sulfur Mohs
The hardness is 1~2, the specific gravity is 2.05~2.08; the texture is very brittle, and the electrical and thermal conductivity is not strong. The color is mostly light yellow, brown, so it is called "sulfur"; when there are impurities, the color is red, green, gray
and black, etc., but purple is almost never heard of.
Zichen Shatai is a kind of purple crystalline elemental sulfur. But crystalline sulfur or purple sulfur is rare. Purple crystals are almost rare in the world. Maybe you will ask, why does it have to be purple? This is intentional
It's very strange. Are you pretending to be a boy on purpose? Lin You, Lin You, it turns out you are also a writer of fantasy novels!
If you think so, you have misunderstood me. When did I, Lin You, write fantasy novels? What I wrote is basically true. To tell you the truth, this afternoon I went to a place called "
"Jinshanzui Fishing Village", I miss those days when I landed on Jinshan Island. There is something in that place that preserves my memories. This is a story for later, so I won't mention it here.
I once heard a saying: If a mercury thermometer is broken, the mercury inside will flow out, which will harm the human body. Moreover, mercury is the only liquid metal at room temperature. Once it falls to the ground, it cannot be picked up. This is the so-called "mercury leaking everywhere."
". At this time, as long as sulfur powder is sprinkled on the mercury, mercury sulfide will be formed, and the mercury will not hurt people.
I can only say that this statement is relatively unreliable. At room temperature, mercury and sulfur will indeed react to form mercury sulfide, but the speed is very slow. Instead of spreading sulfur, it is better to spread soil. In other words, if
I put sulfur powder in a gas mask and entered the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, which was filled with mercury vapor. Before the mercury and sulfur had time to react, I had already inhaled a large amount of mercury vapor and died.
I estimate that purple sulfur ore must not only contain sulfur, but also other rare metals or non-metals as impurities. These impurities not only make the sulfur ore appear purple, but also act as a catalyst to accelerate the chemistry of sulfur and mercury.
response to ensure people's safety.
It seems that this is indeed a millennium mystery that has been carefully set up. Every detail has been considered extremely carefully by the instigator Qin Shihuang Yingzheng. This man is a dragon and a phoenix, an emperor throughout the ages. This man's pursuit of immortality can be said to be an obsession.
Even to the point of becoming obsessed.
Then again, when it comes to "immortality", who doesn't want to pursue it desperately?
Thinking like this, I stared at the piece of kraft paper left by my uncle and was lost in thought. Zamao Xiaodao didn't know that my thoughts were changing over and over again. He only said: "Do you have the formula for the antidote? In Liye
Are there any Qin Dynasty slips preserved in the ancient town, or is there any inheritance there? Hey, Brother Lin, why are you so dumbfounded? Say something?"
I said "hmm", came to my senses and said, "It's okay, I saw this piece of paper... there is a very strange sentence at the end."
Xiaodao ignored me and continued: "Now the world is big and the antidote is the biggest. We..."
Before he finished speaking, my phone rang. Who was calling me at this dark hour? I picked up the phone at random, but my face instantly turned pale and I was so shocked that I was at a loss what to do!
