468 Chapter 468 Siguniang Mountain (28)
Zhang Rishan asked Zhang Qiling: "There are still a lot of things in the coffin. Do you want to continue cleaning it?"

Zhang Qiling, whose eyes had already rested on the corpse, said lightly: "Clean it."

Bai Hao gave him a stack of transparent sealed bags and said, "Pick them out and sort them into categories."

Zhang Rishan took the bag and said, "Okay." Then he walked away and went to work.

At this moment, Li Yue and Zhang Qiling were already squatting next to the corpse, observing the corpse, and Bai Hao was also squatting beside them to watch with them.

Bai Hao looked from top to bottom and then from bottom to top. After a few glances, he stretched out his hand towards the corpse's hair. Li Yue reminded him: "Be careful, this corpse is not normal after all."

Bai Hao said: "Don't worry, I won't touch anything I shouldn't touch, especially there."

As he spoke, he glanced at the corpse and said: "Generally, corpses have their mouths open and their tongues sticking out, and their stomachs are flat, but his mouth is tightly closed. You see, he is a male corpse, with a tall figure." He is thin, but his belly seems out of proportion and a bit bulging. He has these black pastes to protect the immortals. It can be said that apart from some corpse mutations, there is not much corruption. If there is no corpse poison accumulated in his stomach for thousands of years, he can only be Did you put something in there specially, otherwise it would be like that? No one except us, Xiao Qiling, can touch that place."

Li Yue shook her head slightly and said to him, "Just to show your cleverness."

Bai Hao said politely: "That's right." After saying that, he gently pinched some hair of the corpse through his leather gloves, and the black and sticky medicine stuck to his gloves, and he twisted it Twisting the medicine on his fingertips, he said: "It seems that this black ointment not only keeps fresh, but can also protect hair. Look at his black hair. The hair quality is really good and not bad at all. Normally, the hair of a corpse would have fallen out long ago." Empty."

He lightly poked the flesh on the corpse's arm, and then immediately raised his hand. A shallow circular mark was dented into the flesh of the corpse, indicating that the flesh of the corpse was very soft, and the flesh gradually bounced back to its original shape. This shows that the flesh of the corpse is quite elastic.

Bai Hao said: "If it weren't for the weird skin color, the condition of this corpse would be no different from a new corpse that was slightly swollen just a few days after death."

He paused slightly and continued: "These medicines on his body are not very evenly adhered. It feels like they have evaporated and lost moisture for a long time, but they are not completely dry. The temperature here is also low, so there is basically no fluidity. Most of them are concentrated. Although the paste and corpse oil are also mixed in, these are the essence that makes his corpse incorruptible."

As soon as he raised his head, he realized that I was following him, but he said to me without even looking at the body: "Xiao Xun, don't be so stunned. Come and take a look, and you will gain some insights."

I hesitantly said "uh" but still stood there stupidly. My brother turned around and reached out to hold my wrist, making me squat next to him.

Brother Bai Hao said, "Weren't you afraid just now? Are you afraid again now?"

I actually tried to take a look, but I only saw the lower legs of the corpse and didn’t dare to look up. I muttered in a low voice: “Wasn’t he there just now...”

At this time, my brother beside me said softly to me: "It's okay."

Brother Bai Hao said: "Look, he said he's fine. My brothers and sisters are all here to take a look. He won't move. The monsters and ghosts at home are much scarier than him. Think about the big spider just now." "

After listening to what they said, I thought about it and said, "That's right."

Sister Liyue walked to the other side of me, held my shoulders and said to me gently: "This way I won't be afraid."

I turned around and looked. On the left was sister Liyue, and on the right were my brother and brother Bai Hao. I felt more relieved, so I mustered up the courage to look over, and then I saw that there were countless corpses. The sausages were stacked up and placed like a human figure lying on the ground.

I began to look at him carefully. There was still some black and sticky medicine stuck to the body. The shiny, wax-like film attached to the skin looked like a translucent gray-white color. It was very thin and only visible. It was a bit hazy, but it was still quite transparent, and the dark red skin of the corpse inside could be clearly seen.

In addition to most of the dark red skin revealed under the hazy film, the outline of his muscle tissue is also clearly visible, but it feels slightly loose.

The dark red muscle tissue was wrapped with some weird bright red branches. I showed them with slightly trembling fingers and asked, "Are those red threads tendons?"

Brother Bai Hao said: "Those, they should be tendons, the veins on the muscles, but the color is not right now."

I pointed to some more densely packed black threads with similar shapes, and Brother Bai Hao said, "They should be blood vessels."

I finally squinted my eyes and looked at the head of the corpse I was most afraid of. The outline of the corpse's facial features was very clear, the facial skin seemed a bit swollen, and the expression was quite peaceful, as if it was sleeping. But with this suit My skin is so messed up that I feel unspeakably uncomfortable no matter what.

At this time, my brother slowly stretched out his right hand to touch the belly of the corpse. I looked back and forth and asked him, "What's wrong? Is there really something in his belly?"

He didn't answer, but the answer was obvious from the way he was staring at that belly.

I saw him using his long fingers to slowly drag from the corpse's stomach from top to bottom to the corpse's lower abdomen. He paused for a moment and suddenly put his palm on the corpse's stomach, and then gently pressed it a few times. , the belly of the corpse was like a balloon filled with water, Roupizi swayed and swayed, and after being stunned for a while, he said: "Pull out the liquid inside first." Brother Bai Hao leaned over and asked, "Is there really something? "

He said a faint "hmm" and then both of them looked at me.

I rolled my eyes, thinking that my brothers must be talking about the guy I want to use to extract the liquid. My brother said that the liquid in the belly of the corpse must be extracted, not released directly, which means that the liquid may still be needed. , it may also be highly poisonous, and he cannot let it spread.

To do this, medical suction equipment should be enough, which requires a long puncture needle, a large syringe, and a sealed container. I took out something while thinking about it.

The things were in place, and my brother assembled them. This senior corpse did not need anesthesia, and the position to extract the liquid was designated by hand, so he put one hand on the skin of the corpse's stomach and held the puncture needle steady with the other. It was stably inserted vertically into the stomach of the corpse, opened the stopcock and started to pull the syringe, and a thick black liquid flowed into the syringe.

Brother Bai Hao said, "This must be the same liquid used to soak his body. Special antiseptic measures have been taken in the stomach. The contents here seem to be quite important."

After a while, the liquid was almost drained. My brother put all the liquid into the prepared sealed jar and handed it to me. After he put down the utensil, he immediately picked up the knife and took advantage of me to wrap and seal the jar. His blade made a big cut on the loose layer of human skin, and his two fingers penetrated into the body of the body through the cut without hesitation. When I looked at him again, he The bulging stomach of the corpse had been turned out of the opening. The scene was really scary. I quietly shrank to Sister Liyue and hugged her arm, but my eyes still stayed on my brother.

The stomach was dark and had a very irregular shape. It was about the size of four or five fists. It was obviously very stuffed inside.

The brother touched the black stomach bag again, probably to confirm whether the contents inside were dangerous. Then he made another opening in the big stomach. This time he reached in and took out several black lumps. A little box with lumps in it.

Only one of these boxes is in the shape of a long and thin strip, and the others are as big as my little fist, much like jewelry boxes.

The elder brother picked up one of the boxes and looked at the pattern on it. The pattern on that box was covered with clouds and thunder patterns, but the marks were not very deep. He picked up another box at random, which had rows of similar patterns engraved on it. There are lines and punctures distributed on the leaf veins, as well as diamond-shaped graphics engraved on the box. There is a circular geometric pattern in the middle of the graphics, and there is a pattern of a small fish with a tail like a fishhook.

The pattern on the long box is different, the ravines are clear, and it seems to be some kind of mythical beast.

Except for the long box, which only has one, the others are in pairs.

Brother Bai Hao looked at the box and wondered what he was thinking. Brother Bai Hao looked at the patterns on it curiously. He was looking at one of the geometric patterns and said, "Isn't this the eye pattern carved on ancient Shu cultural relics? "

I looked at the box and said, "Are these eyes?"

Brother Bai Hao said to me: "Think carefully about the eyes on the bronze man's head."

I frowned and looked at the circle in the middle of those diamond shapes and said, "Aren't those all triangular eyes?"

Brother Bai Hao poked my head and lowered his voice and said: "It has the same pattern as the bronze rhombus eye-shaped device. Three types of eye-shaped devices have been discovered so far. This one is very similar to one of them. It has a four-cornered rhombus eye socket and a round shape. The eyes are slightly convex, with a vertical eye effect. This looks like a plan view. Didn't I show you the information?"

I nodded and said, "When you say that, it seems like this happened. There are too many things going on recently, and I can't think of them at the moment." After saying that, I smiled at him sillyly.

Brother Bai Hao came close to me and whispered: "Don't forget what I taught you. If you can't answer the test next time, it will be as if I didn't teach you. Look at her."

Brother Bai Hao glanced at Li Yue, lowered his voice and said, "If I don't teach you less, I'll be doomed." After speaking, he pursed his lips and gave me a sharp look. I looked at Bai Hao. The elder brother had a rare serious expression and nodded obediently.

My brother picked up the long box. After listening to what Brother Bai Hao said, I got closer and looked at the patterns on it carefully. This time I saw it really. The patterns on it were really the same as those in the ancient Shu cultural relics. The dragon on the bronze Dragon Kui column is exactly the same. This dragon is still very vivid. The realistic dragon head is instantly recognizable. It has two large horns on top, and its mouth is wide open with teeth exposed. There is a long beard on the dragon's mouth. .

It has a long neck and an upright body. It looks very energetic. Its paws are round and big, and they are firmly clasped on the ground. Overall, its proportions look like a small body sitting upright with a big head on its head. The proportions are a bit like Cartoons, but many things in ancient Shu are strange-looking, just these boxes.

My brother opened it carefully. There was no complicated mechanical lock on the box. It was just a buckle that popped open by itself. Listening to the sound when it was opened, I was sure that the box was made of metal.

After opening the box, you immediately saw a brown leather roll inside. The box was indeed sealed well, and the contents inside were not stained with the black medicine at all.

There were slightly darker leather ropes criss-crossing the two ends of the leather roll, which were wrapped very tightly. There was something wrapped in the leather roll. My brother grabbed the leather roll inside, and the thing was wrinkled and drooped. It was obvious that the leather roll and The things rolled inside were all very soft. He just looked at it briefly, as if to check whether it had been opened or something, and then put it back into the box. I think the things inside are probably silk books. Something like that.

After looking at the long box, my brother started to open the small boxes one by one, just like opening a blind box. Some of them contained black stones made of the same material as the tomb, and some were as black and green as the main coffin. There was also a piece of bronze fragment with clueless lines on it. There were still a few left, but my brother didn’t seem to want to open them here, so he asked me to put them away.

Soon, Zhang Rishan and his team had cleaned the coffin, and the things inside were sorted into categories and placed neatly on the ground. My brothers and sisters all looked at me, as if telling me that those things are waiting for you to clean up.

But there are too many things this time. They all hide the secrets of my brother’s family and cannot be understood by outsiders. But they are all stuffed into my small bag one by one. It seems too exaggerated, so I have to open it here. An invisible net pockets them all and protects them first.
