I saw the fat man hooking the ancient corpse's neck with a corpse rope, rounding his arms and slapping the ancient corpse five times. I quickly stopped him and heard what he said was weird.
Then he continued to ask: Did you eat too much to hold yourself up? Why did you beat someone to death? But then he thought that the fat man had been hit by tongue before, and it was still not completely removed. There was something left behind. I thought about the owner of that witch suit.
She was also tortured to death by King Xian. Did she turn into a fierce ghost and possess the fat man in order to sneak into the underworld and learn what Wu Zixu did back then, whipping the corpse to vent her hatred?
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his hand and took off the fat man's gas mask. Looking at his eyes, there was nothing special about him, but then he heard the fat man say: It's very humid here, why did you grab the gas mask back?
He put it on his face again and continued: Commander Hu, Chief of Staff Yang, can’t you see it? Look at this.
The fat man pointed at the head of the ancient corpse in the coffin. As he was about to speak, the head of the eyeless ancient corpse suddenly shook three times on the body. After shaking it three times, there was a thump and it fell down.
, just landed on the edge of the stone spirit ghost coffin, the stone spirit was as smooth as ice, stopped for a moment, and then rolled to the ground of the wooden coffin.
The three of them were all shocked. The ghost coffin made by the stone spirit was very tightly sealed and unusual. Although the stone spirit with a strong yin energy was regarded as an ominous thing, its unique cool property could be extremely powerful.
The original appearance of the corpse was well preserved. When the coffin was opened, it was seen that the ancient corpse had a life-like brow, and the muscles had not shrunk or sunken. Most of the water in the corpse was locked in it, with no signs of decay and dryness. Why is this head so ugly?
Well, even though Fatty slapped him hard, there was no way he could knock his head off.
The fat man was also very surprised and immediately picked up the head that fell on the ground. He saw that the skin of the head was gradually turning black. This should be due to the humid air environment in the wooden coffin, which is harmful to people who have been placed in a closed environment for a long time.
Ancient corpses underwent rapid oxidation.
The fat man said: Why do you pull it down without hitting it? It shouldn’t be able to pull it off.
He took the head of the ancient corpse from the fat man's hand: "Let me take a look." Then he asked the fat man: "What did you want to say just now? We didn't find out anything."
The fat man said to me, "Don't you see what I was doing just now?" According to the blind fortune teller, when they were fighting upside down, when they encountered fresh corpses, they would tie them up with corpse ropes and beat them hard.
If you don't do this, you won't be able to take out the corpse's clothes and the artifacts in the coffin. When he said this, we were having dinner together, and you should have heard it.
I originally wanted you to take a look. The head of this rice dumpling is just like a living person. It should be slapped first. Who would have thought that it looks like it is made of paper and falls off with just a slight touch?
I nodded and said: So that's what you're talking about. The blind fortune teller said so, but that's the method of those people. They do it to embolden themselves and calm the dead body. As for not slapping the dead man to subdue him,

I'm afraid that Jiuwan is making trouble;
The fat man was about to argue, but he was holding the head of the ancient corpse and said: "Stop arguing, come and see this head" and put the head on the coffin lid for us to watch.
I went over and took a look twice. In this short period of time, the head of the ancient corpse became darker than before, which looked extremely terrifying. Especially the eyes were deeply sunken, making it look like a dark skull.
, there were spiral-shaped deep red blood marks on the edges of the eye sockets. Because the head was turning black and dry, I only took a glance, and those marks were gone.
I haven't seen many corpses in coffins in ancient tombs. Of all the corpses, I only saw the Jinren Tomb at Heifengkou and the jade coffin in the jungle at the entrance to Worm Valley. There was a corpse soaked in blood. I saw this ancient corpse.
Except for the eyes being gouged out, there was nothing special about the head. He said: "I'm not good at examining ancient corpses. Do you think it's possible that this is the head of the king?"
He said: It is still difficult to determine whether it is King Xian. As you just saw, there are traces of black torture on the eye frame of the head. In ancient times, there was a torture instrument, shaped like a wine cup, with rotating knife teeth inside.
By turning it around a person's eye, the eyeball can be gouged out alive.
The fat man and I nodded at the same time. I saw an exhibition of ancient Tibetan customs in Beijing two years ago, which included a bowl for gouging out the eyeballs of living people. However, those cultural relics were all from Tibet. It turns out that the mainland also had the same torture instruments in ancient times, but this
Why did an ancient corpse have its legs cut out before it was alive? Why was it contained in a ghost coffin that was heavy with gloom? No one other than members of the royal family would be buried in the royal tomb. So who is this ancient corpse?
In addition, I also found that under the head of this ancient corpse, there are traces of being cut with a sharp weapon, but it does not look like it was beheaded, but was cut off after death. It seems that this is not a fat man who cut the neck of the ancient corpse with heavy hands.
The head was cut off by whipping, and the head was originally spliced onto the body. What was the reason for doing this? Did the ancient Dian country have this custom of cutting off the head after death and then reattaching it?
I suddenly thought of a possibility, but I couldn't confirm it yet. I had to look at the body in the ghost coffin before further confirmation, so we gathered in front of the coffin again. I asked the fat man to hold up the flashlight to illuminate it, and I and I started to use it.
The paratrooper's knife cut through the layers of white brocade wrapped around the corpse. During the Han Dynasty, kings had the custom of jade clothes, also called jade boxes, and used cool and beautiful jade to embalm. However, this ancient corpse was tightly wrapped in white brocade, but its head was exposed.
From the outside, this seems outrageous.
The white brocade also began to be eroded by damp mold. The further inside, the harder it became to peel off. In the sweltering gas mask, the tip of my nose was sweating. Finally, with help, I finally completely removed the layers of shrouds.
Peel it apart.
When I was peeling off the several layers of white brocade, I noticed that it felt different, but when I saw what was going on inside, the beam of the flashlight shone into the coffin, reflecting countless golden lights onto the smooth surface of the stone. The dazzling golden light captivated the soul and filled my heart.
I'm even more surprised, how could this be the case?
In the white brocade that wrapped the corpse, there was a golden skeleton. Except for the spine and waist, which still retained a few human bones, the rest of the body was made up of gold. There was no trace of skin or flesh on this half-bone.
The half-gold cavity frame seems to be due to the high degree of decay of the corpse bones, which almost completely turned into earth and air, and was artificially put together again to create a set of golden bones.
These golden bones were in sharp contrast to the head that was knocked off by the fat man. The bones were almost rotten and needed to be filled with gold, but the head was not rotten at all. It was because we unwrapped it.
It is absolutely unreasonable for the corpse to be white and brocade, which causes the body to dissolve in a hurry and disappear into the air in an instant.
He said to me: Lao Hu, look at the neck of this yellow bone, there is a jade hoop, which is used to connect the head. Just now, the fat man slapped the jade hoop off, causing the head to fall to the ground.
The fat man immediately said: "Chief of Staff Yang, you are wiser. If it weren't for my commander's strong grasp, it would not be so easy to discover the secret of this ancient corpse. How can a mortal be able to bear this body of golden bones? I don't think this is possible."
It's that old guy Xian Wang.
Not sure, he just pointed at the golden skeleton and said: There are a few ribs missing on the left side, it seems that they were not filled up on purpose.
When I saw that I had a clue here, I said to him: This is obvious. This maintains the appearance of the corpse being tortured by having its heart ripped out before death. It seems that the ancient corpse in the ghost coffin is the coffin owner who used the three coffins in the tomb.
, a corpse put together, we have already thought of it before. Three sets of special-shaped coffins from different periods contained three nobles who were executed. Although they were executed, they were still given the same burial status as before.
They were all identified as King Xian's previous life, indicating that he had gone through three hells and were his shadow bones left in the underworld before he became an immortal.
Since ancient times, Confucius has benevolence and Lao Tzu has Taoism. Taoism specializes in refining elixirs and nourishing qi in order to realize the Tao and become immortals, free from the suffering of birth, old age, illness and death. However, immortality is not something that can be obtained easily. If you want to be reborn, it is not as simple as peeling off the skin. You must
After experiencing several major catastrophes, and these catastrophes were not forced, some people in the Taoist sect found the bones of their previous three lives as substitutes and buried them in the underworld as shadow bones in order to show the world that they had already died.
After going through three hells, he was able to change his body. In this way, there is hope for him to become an immortal in this life.
It seems that this is what King Xian did. The wooden coffin under the tomb of the Yin Palace represents the underworld. The tortured parts of the three corpses are pieced together into a complete stand-in here. And the three mutilated corpses, because they were recognized
They were the first three lives of King Xian, so they were no different from him and were placed in the main tomb.
It’s pretty much what I thought. He said to me: Maybe each layer of the tomb has different symbolic meanings. The middle layer represents the human world, and the wooden coffin below represents the emptiness of the netherworld. There should be another layer of tombs above the tomb.
It represents the fairy mountain, and the real bones of King Xian lie on the fairy mountain.
I said to Fatty He: What we just said is just a hypothesis, and we should further confirm it. Not many people have seen the tomb of the king who practiced immortality in this way to seek immortality. It seems that there are mysteries everywhere, so it is better to look for it in the coffin first.
Is there anything else with information value? Now that I have seen the head and body, the stone spirit can preserve the body's immortality for thousands of years, so the state of the bones should be consistent with the original appearance in their respective coffins. I think the head is so well preserved.
It must have come from that top-quality eight-inch plate cellar coffin. The bones in the middle section were almost rotten, so they had to be replaced with gold. They were probably the remaining bones in the sarcophagus, and the red paint outside the sarcophagus was
It was sealed later.
The fat man said: We haven’t even seen the legs of this pieced-together stand-in body yet, so it might be some kind of valuable commodity.
I think that is unlikely. The legs came from the huge bronze coffin. The first two prisons were for gouging out the eyes and hearts. So the third prison must be the most terrifying soul-stealing one. Because the owner in the bronze coffin,
It would be so vicious. While peeling off the white brocade wrapped around the corpse's legs, I asked the fat man: "Do you know what soul-stealing is?"
Dao: It seems that during the Shang Tang period, there was a kind of witchcraft that could remove the soul of a living person, and the remaining body became a walking corpse that was neither alive nor dead. However, there is no historical record of how exactly it was done.
According to the records, it is still a mystery. Is that mysterious witchcraft the soul-stealing thing?
While I was peeling off the white brocade of the corpse, I told Jian Jun an incident that happened not long ago. The witchcraft method of stealing souls did not disappear until the Warring States Period. Once, at the Panjiayuan Antique Market, several things suddenly appeared.
, is an old farmer in Anyang, Henan. He took more than a hundred strange-shaped bone tools to find a home. Those things were a bit like bone needles, but thicker and longer, with a hollow center. They were all packed in a box made of ancient materials.
