Chapter 348 The Secret in the Wooden Coffin Tomb

“With this ancient mirror here, this thing can’t be stopped even if I want to.”

Looking at the half corpse that became a dead thing again, Chen Ziyan adjusted He took a look at the position of the Fajia's ancient mirror 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 this kind of mutilated corpse was extremely difficult to freeze, but once it appeared, it would be a huge culprit 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 is full of 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."

To deal with zombies like this The most effective method is to burn things.

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

"Okay." Hu Ba nodded and responded.

Of course he knew this, so he 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 even landed on the ground, he said with some pity: "This rice dumpling is so abominable. Look at the beautiful coffin lid made like 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 over and help!"

Can this kind of thing be controlled?

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

“Here we come.” Wang Kaixuan was obedient. He glanced into the bronze coffin and found that there were no funerary objects inside. He immediately lost interest.

Chen Ziyan ignored the fat man, but after confirming 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 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!"

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

Hu Bayi took a look. Finally, 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 simply cannot allow the ice coffin to exist for a long time."

Shirley Yang, who had been observing carefully, saw some clues at this time and said: "This should be blue stone essence rock, or it may be a variant of crystal, but what is certain is that this unique Stone can only be generated in underground 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 committed the most evil crimes and fallen into the netherworld.”

“The rumors cannot be believed. It may be that 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 underworld, which is not suitable for use as a coffin, let alone for holding 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 last 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 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, and 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 lower the coffin lid. The isinglass is disconnected.

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 or shrunk. , it is not an exaggeration to say that it is lifelike.

The death state of this corpse is a bit perceptive. Both eye sockets are deeply sunken. The eyeballs were removed at an unknown time, leaving only two black and red eyes. The cave is dark, so it looks extremely scary.

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

Hu Bayi patted him and said, "Stop nagging, quickly 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, lashing the guy seven or eight times. slap.

This sudden move immediately dumbfounded the people next to him.

Hu Bayi even asked directly: "What is wrong with you, this guy!"

He even suspected that the evil in this guy had not been completely eliminated. This would be another illness.

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

After hearing this guy's fallacy, I had already expected it. Except for Chen Ziyan, the others were a little unable to complain. What kind of truth is this?

But before they could speak, they saw the eyeless head of the ancient corpse, after shaking twice on the corpse, it fell 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. .

Wang Kaixuan had no need 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 The wine glass has rotating blade teeth inside, which can gouge out a person's eyeballs just by pressing it. It seems that the traces are from this object."

Wang Kaixuan is also here. The other side echoed: "I also know about this. We saw it at an ancient Tibetan customs exhibition two years ago. That thing left such a deep impression on people."

Shirley Yang frowned upon hearing this. : "I have heard of the torture device you mentioned, but it should be unique to Tibet. How could it appear here? You must know that no one other than the royal family will ever appear in the coffin of the king's tomb."< br>
"This corpse was more than just beheaded. If you look carefully, 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 all a matter of fighting.”

He finally understood why the head was knocked off so easily 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.”

“Okay.”

Wang Kaixuan had no interest in studying the heads of dead people, 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, and the further inside it became, the harder it was to peel off.

Even with the help of Hu Bayi from behind, both of them were so busy that the tips of 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, there was no other substance in the rest of the body.

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

Although this golden skeleton The actual value may not exceed those of the funerary objects outside, but the traces of gold in human values ​​​​are too deep. Suddenly seeing so much gold, Wang Kaixuan, who has always loved money, is 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 dazzling after suddenly seeing such a golden skeleton. The reflected golden light was simply evocative. Heart-wrenching.

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 tomb. However, King Xian's body should have been intact when he died, and it should not have been repaired.

"There seem to be a few ribs missing on the left side. It seems that they were not filled up 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. 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 of these legs is purple-brown, covered with irregular circular black marks, which is obviously a unique punishment.

"You are really right, Master Chen. This is another corpse, but why do these marks 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 something to think about. The direction was the same, so he quickly got a clue, and said: "This is the soul-stealing punishment! We had seen a set of soul-stealing needles in Anyang, Henan, and some matching items with such marks on them. ”

At that time, they had not entered this field 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 infer the source of the news

After all, in the original plot, Hu Bayi and the others got the information they wanted based on these.

"Didn't you notice that these legs are very similar to the half-cut 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.
