People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 348 The Secret in the Wooden Coffin Tomb

"With this ancient mirror here, I can't stop this thing even if I want to."

Looking at the half-cut corpse that had become dead again, Chen Ziyan adjusted the position of the ancient Fajie mirror in his hand and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Chen, this is half a corpse. Can this ancient mirror hold up?" Hu Bayi asked worriedly.

Although the ancient mirror in front of him successfully suppressed the ancient corpse in the coffin, he was worried that the suppression would not last long. After all, the thing inside was a very dangerous thing in legend.

He knew that such mutilated corpses were extremely difficult to freeze, but once they appeared, they would be a huge disaster for one party.

"Don't worry, there may be evil spirits that this mirror can't suppress, but it's definitely not this thing." Chen Ziyan has full confidence in the ancient Legalist mirror.

After finishing speaking, Chen Ziyan looked at Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, find some dry wood, and we will take this half of the corpse away later."

The most effective way to deal with zombies is to incinerate them.

There are other methods, but they are definitely not as convenient and quick as incineration.

"Okay." Hu Ba nodded and responded.

Naturally, he knew this and immediately got up to collect usable wood.

Thanks to the falling of the bronze coffin, a lot of square wood was smashed into pieces, so it is not difficult to collect suitable wood.

After seeing that the problem was temporarily solved below, several people above also came down.

Before Wang Kaixuan landed on the ground, he said with some pity: "This rice dumpling is so disgusting. Look at how the good coffin lid has been turned into this. This is no longer a matter of quality."

When Hu Bayi, who was collecting wood, heard this, he said: "Fat man, stop complaining there and come here to help!"

Can this kind of thing be controlled?

If they just said something and the half corpse inside would be captured, then the world wouldn't be so afraid of zombies.

"Here we come." Wang Kaixuan was obedient. He took a look into the bronze coffin and found that there were no burial objects inside. He immediately lost interest.

Chen Ziyan ignored the fat man, but after making sure that half of the corpse in the coffin was completely suppressed, he turned his attention to the location of the coffin in the wooden coffin tomb in his memory.

It was an unusual blue ancient coffin. The entire coffin body was as smooth as a mirror. Under the light, it looked like a piece of black ice from the deep sea, shining with a dazzling luster.

Shirley Yang had just landed. After seeing such an ancient coffin, she subconsciously said: "This coffin is so dazzling!"

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he looked over and praised again and again: "It's beautiful enough. Although this place is broken, each coffin is more valuable than the last. By the way, what is this made of? Jade? Crystal? Or ice?"

After Hu Bayi took a look, he shook his head and said: "I don't know. I have seen many kinds of stones back then, but I have never seen this kind. Ice must be impossible. The ambient temperature here is impossible for the ice coffin to grow."

Time exists.”

Shirley Yang, who had been observing carefully, saw some clues at this time and said: "This should be blue stone rock, or it may be a variant of crystal, but what is certain is that this unique stone can only be found underground.

It can only be generated in stacked caves."

"Stone essence?" Ding Sitian frowned slightly when she heard this: "According to the records I have read in ancient books, this material comes from the valley near Hades. It is said that the millstones in the area are made of stone essence and are used for grinding.

Those who have fallen into the underworld and committed the most heinous crimes."

"The rumors cannot be believed. Maybe this stone comes from deep underground, so it is given this name." Chen Ziyan said softly: "But the meaning is not very auspicious."

"According to this theory, this should be a ghost coffin from the netherworld. It is not suitable as a coffin, let alone used to hold the bones of nobles." Hu Bayi raised doubts.

The unique wooden coffin tomb, as well as the ghost coffin made of Netherstone, everything seemed very wrong, and he couldn't figure out what the purpose was.

"Open it and take a look. The coffins in King Xian's tomb are very evil. Now we are getting more and more confused as we search. We must first find a breakthrough before we can completely decipher the secrets hidden here." Chen Ziyan said.

Now that all the clues that can be found have been found, as long as the ghost coffin is also opened, the secrets hidden in the two layers of tombs will be completely revealed to them.

What Chen Ziyan wants to do now is to guide them to take this final step.

"It makes sense, maybe we can find clues here." Hu Ba nodded.

He felt that if this ghost coffin could be hidden so secretly by King Xian, there must be a big secret hidden in it.

Wang Kaixuan quickly put the wood in his hand into Hu Bayi's hand, and said hurriedly: "Leave me alone, the fat man is familiar with opening a restaurant!"

Naturally, Chen Ziyan would not compete with him for the job, so he immediately made a 'please' gesture towards the ghost coffin.

After receiving Chen Ziyan's permission, the fat man took out his vagina-detecting claw and headed towards the ghost coffin.

He first used the sharp claw to scrape off the red paint on the seal of the ghost coffin, then pulled out the seven stone tenons on it, and finally used the probe of the claw to cut off the isinglass under the coffin lid.

.

After all this was done, Wang Kaixuan also took out a cinnabar rope to block it, then adjusted his posture and pushed the coffin lid open.

As the ghost coffin was opened, everyone came closer and looked into the coffin.

What reassured them was that the owner of the coffin showed no signs of getting up and was just lying flat inside.

This is a male corpse with obvious characteristics, but it is wrapped in white brocade from the neck down, and only the head can be seen. However, the head is relatively well preserved, and even the facial muscles have not collapsed and shrunk. It is not lifelike.

Too much.

It's the corpse's deathly appearance that is a bit revealing. The two eye sockets are deeply sunken. The eyeballs were removed at an unknown time, leaving only two black holes with reddish black, so it looks extremely...

Terrible.

"This... death scene is quite unique!" Wang Kaixuan hesitated and gave this evaluation.

Hu Bayi patted him and said, "Stop nagging, get the body out and take a look!"

There is something mysterious about this white brocade at first glance, and there is probably a secret underneath.

"Oh!" Wang Kaixuan agreed, and quickly wrapped the coffin owner's head with a corpse rope. After the corpse was pulled up, he raised his hand and drew his bow from left to right, and slapped the guy seven or eight times.

This sudden move immediately stunned the people next to him.

Hu Bayi even asked directly: "What's wrong with you?"

He even suspected that the evil in this guy had not been completely eliminated and he would fall ill again.

Wang Kaixuan shook his hand: "I didn't even notice it. Fatty is showing off his power. Let this guy know in advance that he is powerful!"

After hearing this guy's fallacy, everyone except Chen Ziyan, who had already expected it, was a little helpless to complain.

What kind of truth is this?

But before they could say anything, they saw the eyeless ancient corpse's head swinging on the corpse twice before falling down with a 'thump'.

Hu Bayi was shocked when he saw this: "Put the body back first."

He knew very well that this was something weird about the corpse itself. After all, this unique sarcophagus had the property of preserving the corpse. It seemed to have locked most of the moisture in the corpse, so the head would not be so fragile that it would be knocked off by the fat man with just a few slaps.

.

There was no need for Wang Kaixuan to be reminded. The moment his head fell, he had already loosened the rope in his hand.

At the same time, this guy was still muttering: "Why are you so unbeatable?"

"Look at this head." At this moment, Shirley Yang said.

Everyone looked over and saw that the head that was still lifelike just now had undergone huge changes and turned into a dark skull.

"I'm not good at autopsies, what do you think of Lao Hu?" Chen Ziyan asked Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi picked up the fallen head, looked at it for a while and said: "The eye sockets of this head have traces of being gouged out. In ancient times, there was a unique torture instrument, shaped like a wine glass, but with a rotating wheel inside.

The blade's teeth can gouge out a person's eyeball just by pressing it on the eye and turning it around. It seems that the mark should come from this thing."

Wang Kaixuan also echoed: "I also know about this. We saw it at an ancient Tibetan customs exhibition two years ago. It was really impressive."

Shirley Yang frowned when he heard this: "I have heard about the torture tools you mentioned, but they should be unique to Tibet. How could they appear here? You must know that there will never be any coffins outside the royal family in the coffins of the royal tombs.

people."

"This corpse was more than just beheaded. If you look closely, there are marks on his neck that were cut with a sharp weapon. It was obvious that he had been beheaded." Chen Ziyan reminded from the side.

"It's true." Hu Bayi raised his head a little, and then said: "But looking at the marks, the beheading should have happened after death, otherwise the wound would not be like this. No wonder it was slapped off by the fat man.

, it turns out that it was just a matter of hard work."

Now he finally understood why the head was so easily knocked off by Wang Kaixuan.

When Chen Ziyan saw this, he knew that he could proceed to the next step.

"Let's look at other parts of the body, maybe we can find clues."

"good."

Wang Kaixuan had no interest in studying dead people's heads, so he immediately took out his paratrooper knife and cut off the white brocade wrapped around the body.

This white brocade may have been wrapped tightly around the body because of its age, making it more difficult to peel off as it got inside.

Even with Hu Bayi's help from behind, both of them were so busy that their noses sweated before they finished.

After the layers of shrouds were completely removed, the first thing that caught the eyes of Chen Ziyan and others was a dazzling golden light.

Under the white brocade that wrapped the body, there was actually a golden skeleton. Except for a few bones at the spine and waist, the rest of the body contained no other substance.

"This..." Wang Kaixuan saw this golden skeleton and subconsciously looked at Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi: "Mr. Chen, Lao Hu, is this real gold?"

Although the actual value of this gold skeleton may not exceed the funerary objects outside, the traces of gold in human values ​​​​are too deep. Suddenly seeing so much gold, Wang Kaixuan, who has always loved money, was somewhat unable to control himself.

Not to mention Wang Kaixuan's performance, even Chen Ziyan, who had already known what was going on inside, felt a little dazzled after suddenly seeing such a golden skeleton. The reflected golden light was simply captivating.

However, Shirley Yang recovered quickly. She pointed to the neck bone of the golden skeleton and said, "Look at the neck. There is a jade hoop there. It seems to be used to connect the head."

"But with such a set of golden bones...is it really a tribute to the king?" Ding Sitian asked.

As far as she knew, it was usually only when the original bones disappeared that they would be replaced by something else, such as the most common burial mound. However, King Xian's body should have been intact when he died, and it should not have been repaired.

"It seems that there are still a few ribs missing on the left side. It seems that they were not filled in on purpose." Shirley Yang added.

"Is this...the punishment of ripping out the heart?" Hu Bayi said uncertainly.

"This should not be the same as the head, that is, it comes from two corpses. Let's look at the lower body of the corpse." Chen Ziyan said.

"That makes sense!" Wang Kaixuan nodded, and then began to remove half of the white brocade.

After the last piece of white brocade was removed, the exposed legs looked completely different.

The skin on these legs was purple-brown, covered with irregular circular black marks, which was obviously a unique form of punishment.

"You are really right, Mr. Chen. This is another corpse, but why do these traces look so familiar to me?" Hu Bayi said when he saw this.

Wang Kaixuan also said: "Yes, I also feel a bit familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere."

His words seemed to provide Hu Bayi with a direction of thinking, and he quickly got the idea and said: "This is the punishment of soul-stealing! We had seen a set of soul-stealing needles in Anyang, Henan, and we also

There are some matching items with such marks on them.”

At that time, they had not entered this industry yet and did not know the value of soul-stealing bone needles, so they just listened to it as an interesting thing.

Now that I think about it, I really regret it. That set of bone needles is obviously a valuable treasure.

"That's right. The three parts of this corpse are all from different corpses. It is obviously done deliberately by King Xian." Chen Ziyan said after hearing this.

Things are basically clear at this point, and he can summarize the rest.

In this case, no one will doubt where he got the news, because with these clues, he can completely push the source of the news to the derivation.

After all, in the original plot, Hu Bayi and the others got the information they wanted based on these, didn't they?

"Didn't you notice that these legs are very similar to the half-body corpse in the bronze coffin?" Chen Ziyan thought in his mind and continued.

"That half of the corpse?" Hu Bayi and the others looked at the bronze coffin and found that the two were somewhat similar.

It's just that the half of the corpse was covered with black hair, covering up the traces, so they couldn't connect the two immediately.

But now based on the body shape and outline, it can be easily inferred that the two are originally one.
