The bronze coffin used to fix corpses is said to be made of copper, but it is actually mixed with other metals similar to lead. In addition, after thousands of years of time, the lid and body of the copper coffin have almost become one with rust.
Fatty Sun came up with an idea. He first knocked loose the connection between the copper coffin lid and the copper coffin. Then he pulled out more than a hundred soul-gathering nails from the corpse. Me, Po Jun and Fatty Sun worked together to lift a corner of the copper coffin lid.
A gap opened, and Hao Wenming took the opportunity to insert a dozen soul-gathering nails into the gap...
After the four corners and all sides of the copper coffin were padded with soul-gathering nails, Po Jun and I pushed the copper coffin lid along one side. With these hundred or so rollers, it didn’t take too much effort to lift the copper coffin lid.
Pushed forward halfway.
"Okay." Hao Wenming stood in front of the coffin and watched as the inside of the copper coffin was revealed. In the center of a pile of large and small burial objects, a body wrapped in layers of linen-like cloth was revealed.
Corpse.
"Is this really the King of Hundred Festivals?" Fatty Sun asked, "Why does it look like a mummy?"
Hao Wenming glanced back and forth inside the copper coffin several times, and finally stopped at the 'mummy'.
"Hao Tou, there's something wrong with the fabric on the body." Po Jun fiddled with the linen on the 'mummy' with a stick. After three thousand years, the fabric was still somewhat flexible.
Hao Wenming twisted the corner of the linen cloth with his hand and recognized its origin. The linen cloth wrapped on the body was called Shengma. It was a shroud specially used after the death of the Shang royal family during the Shang Dynasty. There are records saying that
However, wrapping a corpse in Shengma will not rot, and it can also protect it from snakes, insects, rats, and ants. The level of use of Shengma is very strict, so except for a few members of the Wang family, the general princes are not qualified to use it. Until Zhou
During the reign of King Wang, the rights to use Shengma were relaxed. Unfortunately, Shengma became extinct within a few years.
When King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty came to the throne, it was discovered that the cloth specially used by King Zhou was mixed with Shengma, which was only used by dead people. The mastermind was not found. King Zhou was furious and arrested and chopped up the craftsmen who made Shengma across the country.
After that, the method of making Shengma was lost.
Hao Wenming smashed his mouth, and then said: "Tear apart the Shengma and let Baijie King come out for some air."
Po Jun put the end of the stick into the hemp and gently lifted it up. Although the surface of the hemp was still a little pliable, after thousands of years, the inside had already become crispy. Po Jun didn't bother, so he pushed a few
The layers of hemp wrapped around the body were torn apart.
The corpse wrapped in hemp was revealed. It was the corpse of a man in his forties. The reason why I am so sure is that the corpse was still in the same state as when he died. He was completely naked and his skin had a kind of texture.
He was sickly pale and seemed to be a little angry. His eyes were half closed, and from my perspective, I could see that his pupils were not cloudy at all. At that moment, I actually had the urge to go over and listen to his heartbeat.
If I hadn't come down this journey and learned some details, I wouldn't believe him if he died for nearly three thousand years. It looked more like he was asleep, sleeping for three thousand years...
"Is this the King of Hundred Festivals, or a thousand-year-old monster? Who of you believes that he has been dead for more than two thousand years?" Fatty Sun murmured, while he was speaking, his eyes were looking at Hao Wenming.
Hao Wenming was also staring at the 'King of Hundred Festivals', but the way he looked was a little special. He didn't look anywhere else, he just grabbed the hands of the man in the copper coffin and looked at it a few times.
"He is not the King of Hundred Festivals." Director Hao made a concluding speech.
The previous judgment was all wrong? Po Jun was stunned for a moment: "Hao Tou, we made a mistake before? Isn't this the tomb of King Baijie?"
"It's true that the mausoleum belongs to King Baijie, but the person buried in this bronze coffin is not King Baijie," Hao Wenming said in a deep voice.
Fatty Sun said blankly: "Who is lying in the coffin?"
"It's possible for anyone, but it can't be King Baijie." Hao Wenming squinted his eyes and said: "King Baijie is the last king of the Guzhi Kingdom. Although not much information about him has been handed down, we can still be sure that Baijie King
King Jie was born with a strange phenomenon. Except for the thumb, the remaining eight fingers of both hands are aligned. Do you look at the figure in the coffin? "
I took a look at the buddy lying in the copper coffin. His five fingers were of different lengths, and I couldn't tell that he had any tendency to be gifted by the King of Hundreds.
The previous plan was to find the secret passage left by King Baijie. Now it is confirmed that the person in the bronze coffin is not King Baijie. So how to get out next? Me, Fatty Sun and Po Jun turned their eyes to Director Hao.
Hao Wenming had a sullen face, holding the copper coffin with his hand as if thinking about something else. Before he could think about it, a burning smell suddenly came from the tomb. Then, he heard Fatty Sun exclaim: "The corpse is on fire!
"
When he looked at the copper coffin again, flames burst out from inside.
Fire came out of the corpse's ears, nose, eyes, and mouth. The colors on our faces all changed. We stared at the copper coffin with eight eyes, and it seemed that such a big thing had happened.
I took off my clothes and tried to put out the flames while the fire was not big. Before I could step forward, I was stopped by Po Jun. His face was very solemn: "Don't go there, there is something wrong with the fire."
What's wrong with fire? As I asked, the flames on the body changed. The red flames suddenly flickered. At the same time, there was no color in the copper coffin, and it seemed as if something was being placed inside.
A black and white movie. Immediately afterwards, the originally red flames converged into the body of the dead body, and then suddenly emerged again. When they came out again, the flames turned into black and white colors - black inner flames...
The white outer flame looks suffocating.
Hao Wenming shouted at the three of us: "Stay away!" He himself was still standing next to the copper coffin where the body was buried, and took a few photos of the burning body in the copper coffin with his mobile phone. It was obvious that Hao
The director was very afraid of the black and white flames. As soon as the photo was taken, he immediately took a few steps back and looked coldly at the corpse in the fire.
Fatty Sun had already fled far away, and said angrily: "Damn it, who did the unlucky guy in the coffin offend? He has been locked up in a bronze coffin for thousands of years, and the moment he shows up, he will be burned at the stake!"
"
Po Jun and I retreated behind Hao Wenming, while Fatty Sun hunched over and stood seven or eight meters behind us. The fat man cherished his life. But if the three of us were killed, it would be difficult for him to be the only one left.
Number of escapes.
Seeing Hao Wenming still staring at the crackling corpse that had been burned by the fire, I hesitated for a moment, but I still couldn't mess with him. I had to poke Po Jun next to me: "What kind of will-o'-the-wisp is this? It doesn't even look like it when it burns."
nothing?"
Po Jun didn't answer my question directly. He sighed first: "I don't know whether your life and that of the Great Sage are good or bad. The first time you came out, you not only saw the soul-gathering nail, the bronze coffin for setting the corpse, but also the nameless karma fire."
You can all meet it. Remember to buy lottery tickets when you go back."
"Ye Huo? Still nameless?" Fatty Sun probably saw that the danger was not great, so he took a few steps forward and got behind Po Jun and me: "What do you mean?"
Po Jun glanced at Hao Wenming and saw that he had no intention of stopping him, and then said: "The nameless karma fire is also called the fire of the underworld. It is said to be able to burn away all the bad karma in the world. Anyone who has done unforgivable evil in the past
, after death, the perineum is judged to never be reincarnated, and is burned into nothingness by the fire of nameless karma. The fire of the Yang world can only burn the human body. But the fire of this Yin world can burn the soul clean."
Fatty Sun's face changed color: "You mean, the person who was burned by this ignorant karma will not even have a soul left in the end? There is no need to think about reincarnation, it is completely over?"
Po Jun nodded: "It's almost the same, as you said."
"Then why are you still stunned? Don't stay here. Hide out quickly." Fatty Sun said, and his feet started to move. By the time he finished speaking, he had almost reached the gate.
"Look at your potential," Po Jun said with a sneer, "Every time the nameless Karma fire appears, it will target a person or animal. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke it, you won't get burned."
"It's better to be careful," Fatty Sun muttered, without moving his feet. It seemed that as long as the situation changed slightly, he would be able to run to a safe place.
Po Jun stopped paying attention to him. He also imitated Hao Wenming's posture and watched as the fire of ignorance burned darker and darker. Finally, the flame of the fire of karma flickered for a few times and then went out.
Seeing Hao Wenming take a step forward and looking inside the copper coffin, Po Jun dared to say: "Okay, it should be fine."
When I walked to the copper coffin again, I was completely stunned. The body that had been lying in the copper coffin a few minutes ago was burned out. There was no evidence related to the body left in the copper coffin.
, not even a pinch of ashes was left. In addition, other items in the copper coffin (such as hemp and burial items, etc.) remained as they were just now, intact.
Po Jun stood beside me and explained: "The nameless karma fire is targeted unless someone actively provokes it."
Fatty Sun also returned to the vicinity of the copper coffin. After looking inside the copper coffin for a few times, he said to Hao Wenming: "Hao Tou, the copper coffin for the corpse has been opened, and the nameless fire has been burned. There is a secret passage out.
Can I still find it?"
Hao Wenming was wandering around the bronze coffin where the body was placed. When he heard what he said, he raised his head and glanced at Fatty Sun: "It should be in this tomb, let's see if we can find it."
Fatty Sun leaned against the copper coffin, curled his lips and said, "Why don't you go back to the place where you fell in and wait until Director Ouyang sends someone to look for you. All kinds of strange things will happen along the way..."
It was his misfortune. Just when he was talking enthusiastically, he stepped on a soul-gathering nail under his feet. Before he could finish his words, his feet slipped and he fell headlong into the bronze coffin.
This time, he was so frightened that after falling in, Fatty Sun's hands and feet trembled a few times, wondering what kind of mechanism he had encountered in the copper coffin.
With a "Gaba" sound, the base of the copper coffin suddenly cracked, revealing a large black hole. Fatty Sun fell into the hole together with the shengma wrapped in the body and the funerary objects. As he fell, Fatty Sun shouted: "Who?"
...can you push me?”
The moment Fatty Sun fell, I vaguely saw a blue man falling into the hole with Fatty Sun... Things happened so fast that before any of us could react, Fatty Sun was already at the bottom of the cave.
, from the sound of his voice, there should be nothing serious. You can already hear the movement of his teeth and mouth.
Hao Wenming stood next to the copper coffin and shouted: "Great Sage, how are you? Can you move?" I asked, "What fell with you?"
Fatty Sun snorted from below: "I'm not dead yet...Lazi, what did you see? Are they the burial objects in the copper coffin? My ass is so broken..." Hearing him
It's okay, the three of us breathed a sigh of relief: "What's going on down there?" "Wait a minute, let me take a look..." There was a little firelight below, and it was Fatty Sun who lit the lighter.
I held the copper coffin with my hands and shouted down: "Sun Dasheng, isn't your lighter out of gas?"
Fatty Sun said angrily from below: "Lazi, is it interesting for you to say this now?"
"Stop talking nonsense," Hao Wenming shouted, and shouted to the bottom of the copper coffin: "What's going on? I didn't tell you, what did you see?"
"There are murals on the wall, but you can't tell what they are. And... there is a coffin below. I said, won't you come down?"
I visually measured the distance. Fortunately, it's not too high, only about seven or eight meters. It shouldn't be a problem if I jump down.
Hao Wenming climbed up to the edge of the copper coffin: "Great Sage, give way and don't hit you."
"Okay, come down." Fatty Sun took a few steps back and made way for him to land on the ground.
Hao Wenming stopped talking nonsense and jumped in. Then Po Jun and I jumped into the bottom of the cave one after the other.
If not compared with the main tomb chamber above, this cave is quite spacious. Unlike other small chambers, there is no decoration here. A coffin is placed alone in the center. As Fatty Sun said, there are real paintings on the surrounding walls.
There are four murals.
The painter of the mural is not very beautiful, and the style is mainly realistic. It seems to be narrating the beginning and end of a war...
I want collections, clicks, recommendations, anything.
