Chapter 614 Monster Corpse
But soon everyone’s attention was attracted by the number of arms.
Although these arms are entangled with each other, if you look carefully, you can still count them.
Twelve arms extending out of a coffin don’t look right no matter how you look at it.
Even if the wooden coffin exceeds the standard, it cannot fit so many corpses into it.
It’s hard to say whether I can pretend or not, but it’s mainly because it’s too unruly.
No matter how deviant the tomb owner is, he will never do such a thing.
After all, that would be a waste of this fine golden nanmu coffin.
After being vigilant for a while and seeing no other movement on the coffin side, Chen Ziyan planned to go up and have a look.
He felt that the corpse in the coffin had not transformed, because if it had really transformed, the corpse inside would have jumped out by now.
Seeing Chen Ziyan step forward, the others followed him with weapons in hand.
As he walked closer to the coffin, Chen Ziyan discovered that these arms would be raised. It was probably not because of the corpse, but most likely because there was some mechanism inside the coffin.
It’s just that the inside of the coffin is full of black water. Except for the stretched out arms, it’s impossible to see clearly what’s going on below, so this conjecture cannot be confirmed for the time being.
“This can’t be human oil, right?” Looking at the black water in the coffin, a waiter guessed.
You can’t tell it from a distance, but now that you’re up close, you can see that the black water inside is incredibly viscous. If it were a different color, it would be exactly the same as oil.
"Unlikely, it should be used for antisepsis." Chen Ziyan shook his head slightly and said.
Although the black water looks a lot like grease, judging from the preservation of the arms in front of you, it is undoubtedly more likely to be embalming fluid.
“Come in and clean up the black water inside.” Chen Ziyan turned around and gave the order without continuing to dwell on this issue.
He wanted to see the body in the coffin with his own eyes, so the obstructive black water was cleaned up, but it was not his turn to do this himself.
Why else would he bring so many people?
After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, the guys behind him looked at each other. After a while of eye contact, a few people were selected and began to clean up the black water with bitter looks on their faces.
Although they were reluctant in their hearts, these people were not sloppy in their work and quickly cleaned up most of the black water in the coffin.
As the water level inside the coffin drops, more things are exposed.
The first is the arrangement on the coffin wall. There are several rows of dark gold round nails on the inner wall of the coffin. These round nails are arranged every few centimeters from top to bottom. They look like pure Made of gold.
However, it is difficult to tell just by looking at it. After all, gilding can also have a similar effect.
Further down is the half-exposed corpse. It is said to be a corpse, but actually it is more appropriate to describe it as corpse pieces.
Even Chen Ziyan, who had known the inside story, couldn't help but feel a little sick when he saw the true appearance of the corpse in the coffin.
"Are there really six corpses in here?" At this moment, Dong Yanxia's voice sounded, interrupting Chen Ziyan's thoughts.
Looking along the beam of the searchlight in his hand, Chen Ziyan saw six heads, one large, five small and six, around the neck of the corpse.
“Isn’t this a coffin for a corpse?” a waiter said in a low voice.
"Corpse coffin?" The people next to him looked at him curiously. The guy didn't hide it, and just said what he knew: "I also heard it from others. It is said that there is a special knowledge in Feng Shui, called corpse coffin, which is usually used in mountain tombs. It is said that there will be two coffin positions with excellent feng shui in some ancient tombs. In such a situation, you must place coffins in both positions, otherwise the aura of the sea and rivers gathered in the empty positions will attract some evil spirits. Things, and if a blood relative of the tomb owner is buried in this coffin, it can be regarded as raising the corpse together, which is called nourishing qi in Feng Shui."
Speaking of this, he said. After recalling it for a while, he continued: "I remember that it was like raising a corpse, and two identical coffins were required. We will go to the main tomb later to have a look. If there is also a golden nanmu coffin inside, then it is probably a corpse raising coffin."
“If you say so, it makes sense.” One of the waiters nodded slightly.
Because if you say this, it can explain why there is a golden nanmu coffin of this size in such an ear room.
"Then the damn owner of the tomb must have stuffed his whole family into it before he died." At this time, another waiter said.
While speaking, he also pointed to the body parts in the coffin.
The body parts were difficult to identify, but the arms were right in front of him, so he said this.
"What are you thinking about? If it is to nourish Qi, then you are thinking about future generations. How can you bring the whole family with you."
"That's really hard to say, the concept of blood relatives It’s still quite vague. In ancient times, there were quite a few family members. It was really possible to bury several nephews with them. Isn’t this kind of thing rare in the tomb?”
Listening to the discussion of the guys behind him, Chen Ziyan did not immediately give an explanation.
That is to say, he already knew the inside story, otherwise he would probably think so. After all, who would have thought that such a corpse was a person.
After all the black water in the coffin was scooped out, all the funerary objects inside were revealed. The most eye-catching ones were the several utensils next to the corpse.
From the material point of view, these should be jade articles. You can know that they are valuable without having to get your hands on them.
However, Chen Ziyan was not very interested in these. His attention was attracted by the things under the corpse.
It was a stone slab covering the bottom of the coffin, with some vague writings engraved on it, but it was not clear because of the remaining black water on the bottom.
Chen Ziyan knew that if he wanted to see the writing on the slate clearly, he had to take out the slate. Otherwise, even without the obstruction of the black water, the body would block most of it, and he would not be able to see the whole picture. .
But Chen Ziyan needed to think carefully about taking out the corpse. After seeing the corpse in the coffin, he had already given up his plan to use the corpse to make puppet armor.
The reason is simple, that is, this corpse does not meet the standards.
Although the corpse was well maintained, it was still far from his standards. Chen Ziyan even seriously doubted that the corpse would fall apart after being taken out.
And the most important thing is whether any accidents will occur after the body leaves the coffin. This is the most important thing.
He has not forgotten that the origin of the corpse in front of him is not simple.
"This corpse...is a person?"
At this moment, a voice attracted Chen Ziyan's attention.
He thought that these people could not see the truth, or that they would not think in this direction in a short time, but he did not expect that someone would find out the clues so soon.
However, after seeing who made the sound, Chen Ziyan felt that if it was her, it would not be unacceptable to find the problem so quickly.
The person who discovered the clue was suddenly Dong Zhuohua, who had always been silent.
Although Dong Zhuohua didn't make much noise, Chen Ziyan could see that Dong Yanxia could definitely obey his words, so his expectations for him became very high.
