But when you take a closer look, it's completely different.
The surface of the red coffin in Mawangdui depicts a fairy flying into the sky. Because the tomb owner Xin Zhui is a woman, it means that the flying fairy leads the soul of the female tomb owner to heaven.
But this red coffin...
It depicts some scenes of killing, fighting, execution and hanging.
Especially the one about hanging people. I saw two slave-like villains with their hands tied and hung high. There was also a villain underneath holding a spear and stabbing people into the body. The style was mysterious and weird.
Now the tomb is very dark and extremely quiet, with only a few of us flashlights swinging around.
Because the yellow mud has a strong air-tight seal, the coffin lid is still intact. Bean Sprouts circled around twice, picked up the shovel and prepared to pry it open. After trying it, he suddenly said: "Oh, that's not right, this seems to be...
Dead, in one piece."
I said it was nonsense. How could the coffin lid be integrated with the coffin? How could the dead person get in like that?
I tried it in disbelief, and was immediately surprised: "This... is really true. The lid of this coffin is integrated with the coffin. How did you make this?"
"Don't make any noise yet, listen carefully..."
Brother Yu suddenly put his ear close to the coffin and said, "There seems to be a sound inside this coffin."
I followed Brother Yu's example and listened closely with my ears.
As a result, I heard the sound of "crack...crack" inside the red coffin. Some sounded like the sound of dripping water, and some sounded like the sound of a person breaking chopsticks with his hands.
I asked Boutou to listen to it, but as soon as Boutou heard it, there was no such sound, which was very strange.
"Fuck!"
"Scared me!"
"When did you come from behind me!" Douyazai turned around and yelled at Xiaoxuan for scaring him.
Brother Yu and I looked at each other. Did I hear wrongly?
At this time, he suddenly ordered: "Yunfeng, Yazai, and Wenbin, all three of you, come and try to lift this head and see if you can lift it."
We nodded and said yes.
The three of us worked hard together, and Brother Yu even leaned half of his body forward. He was so heavy that he couldn't even move, let alone lift him up! This was a coffin, not a coffin. Even if there were a lot of funerary objects in it, it wouldn't be able to move.
It's so heavy and weighs so much that I guess even a small crane might not be able to lift it!
I wanted to see what was inside, so I suggested a way. He asked us to use a crutch needle to drill a hole just below the coffin lid.
We'll do it immediately.
Just after the eyes were punched, there was a sudden flow of yellow water in the coffin, which flowed out along the eyes. It had no smell, and we immediately took a few steps back.
When it is opened, it is like a faucet. No wonder it is so heavy. It turns out that the coffin is full of water.
After watching the bleeding for more than 20 minutes, it was still flowing. In order to speed up the flow, we used the cripple needle to make two more small holes at the original position.
The three water outlets were draining out yellow water for almost an hour. Brother Yu frowned and said, "What's going on? This is endless. How long has it been? Even if the coffin is full of water, it should have been drained out long ago.
Also," Brother Yu turned around and looked around and said, "The ground here is so dry, why is there so much water in the coffin?"
The sound of the steady stream of water makes people feel nervous.
His head suddenly fell to the ground, his head was covered in sweat, his hands supported the ground, and he gasped for air.
"Head!"
"What's wrong with you! Get up!" I helped him up with both hands and touched his head and forehead. It was very hot. He had a low fever before, but now he may have a high fever.
He leaned his head in my arms. For some reason, he stared at the coffin with frightened eyes and gasped, "I heard it, you...did you hear it?"
What did you hear? Apart from the voices of a few of us, the only sound in the tomb is the sound of running water. There is no other sound.
The head turned pale and gasped loudly and said: "Crying...I heard the crying of many people in the coffin."
"There were men, women, and children. Some were crying, some were laughing, and some were whispering."
