After tinkering for an hour, he pried his head with a steel shovel and relied on his own weight and the principle of leverage to finally push open a corner of the coffin lid.
Just after opening the door, a black smoke visible to the naked eye came out of the coffin.
I was the closest to Boutou, and Boutou shouted: "Danger! It's corpse gas!" He yelled, and quickly backed away, barely avoiding this small puff of black smoke.
My reaction was a little slow and I ran away, but I still took a small sip.
I felt a little dizzy for a moment, and at the same time my nose felt hot and I had nosebleeds.
"Stop walking around, lie down quickly! Someone will die!" The old man from Xiangxi shouted to me.
I lay flat on the ground, and after just a minute or two, I felt not only dizzy, but my throat also felt uncomfortable and tight. It was like something invisible was strangling my neck, and my breathing began to become difficult.
It was difficult, and at the same time, my hands and feet began to shake randomly out of my control.
"Hold him down!"
The leader's face looked uncertain, and the other people held down my limbs firmly.
"Open your mouth and swallow it directly. Don't bite it." The old man from Xiangxi took out a small black pill from his small bag and stuffed it directly into my mouth.
I swallowed the black pills like a juicy pill, and then he took out a small ziplock bag. There was a handful of green willow leaves in the ziplock bag. The willow leaves looked fresh even when sealed in the bag.
He stuffed a handful of green willow leaves into my mouth and wouldn't let me chew or eat them. He told me to keep holding them and not let go.
After about five minutes, he said: "It should be almost done. Just open your mouth and spit it out. Be careful not to swallow it."
I spit out the willow leaves and saw that they were no longer green, they had all turned black.
Seeing the blackened willow leaves that I spit out, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. Fortunately, I didn't inhale much, and I just happened to bring something with me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have survived for ten minutes."
Although my head was still a little dizzy, I could feel that I was getting better. I climbed up with difficulty and thanked the old man for his help.
The boss was relieved to see that I was safe, and he said earnestly, "Fortunately, I came down here to find Mr. Zhao this time. Corpse gas... us grave robbers are most afraid of encountering this thing. Once it is inhaled,
Even a strong and healthy person wouldn't be able to survive for ten minutes if exposed to something like this."
At this time, the old man from Xiangxi squinted at the bronze coffin, and said solemnly: "There is corpse aura, and the corpse aura is so strong that it turns black. This means that the person lying in the coffin is not dead yet, and only the bones are left in the coffin."
I can never gather such strong corpse energy."
"It's okay if we can't afford the corpse, but if there is one... the rope passed down from our ancestors to tie up the corpse is broken, so we can only use the money in the mouth. As for whether the money in the mouth can hold it down," the old man shook his head.
"I can only pray for my ancestor's blessing and let God take my fate."
After saying that, he took out a plastic bag from his arms. The plastic bag had several layers, and the innermost layer was also wrapped with newspapers. The old man carefully unwrapped the newspaper and pinched out a pure gold copper coin with a heirloom coating.
.
This gold copper coin is only three centimeters in diameter. It is a small flat coin, with the four-character seal script "Yinggan Tongbao" written on it in a convolutional eight-point script. The calligraphy style is strong and simple.
I was shocked because I recognized this kind of coin. This Yinggan Tongbao was cast by Li Shun, the leader of the rebel army during the Chunhua period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It ranks among the top 50 famous products of Guquan and is extremely rare in the world. So far, only an iron small flat has been found.
Money and a piece of copper can be exchanged for 5 cents, both of which are first-class treasures.
What's more, the one in the hands of the old man in western Hunan is a gold Yinggan Tongbao... It has never been seen before, and has never been recorded in the spring records of the past dynasties.
