Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 276 Double Coffin, Naked Corpse

These stone carvings can clearly see the expressions of the characters, and they have auspicious meanings, including bats, sika deer, cranes, magpies, etc., which imply prosperity and longevity, as well as auspicious animals such as phoenixes and unicorns. In addition, there are some opera scenes. These stone carvings are very They are decent, but according to what Lao Jiu said, these tombs are of different sizes. The ones in the front are all the size mentioned earlier, while the ones in the back are shorter. I looked at Seventh Sister: "These are indeed the tombs of the Qing Dynasty."

Seventh Sister said: "The last time we came, we entered three tombs. Guess what?"

"Seventh Sister, don't be a fool." I said with a smile, "Just tell me the answer."

"There are few or no burials." Seventh Sister said: "Except for the traces of people living in the place just now, there are no traces of life in the other tombs. Is that dwarf the tomb keeper?"

I was a little confused, and there was a "boom" sound above my head. Seventh sister was right, the soil layer was not thick, and the sky thundered, and the soil fell "suddenly". The iron hand had a serious expression, and suddenly let the tiger stand on his shoulder Going up to the mud layer on the top of the probe, the tiger jumped down and said, "There should be no problem, Seventh Sister, let's hurry up and enter the remaining tombs."

The tiger glanced at me, and I immediately said: "You are busy with your work, I am not going to take a share."

"Smart enough." Tiger smiled with satisfaction, and went to the other tombs with Ah Nan, Tie Shou, and Zuo, but Seventh Sister stood there motionless. I asked, "Seventh Sister won't do anything?"

"I'm more interested in that dwarf than in the artifacts in the tomb." Seventh Sister said in a low voice, "I've felt that someone is following us from just now, Lin Tianyi, don't pretend to be foolish, if you usually go with the tiger went."

I smiled embarrassedly: "Everyone is mutual."

Seventh Sister and I exchanged glances, pretending to walk in front of a tombstone inadvertently, and I suddenly realized something was wrong: "Seventh Sister, if this place collapsed naturally and the soil on it fell down, the space between the tombs should be tightly filled with soil. Instead of being like now, the tombs now seem to have a mud cover added to it, and the cover is just right, and the mud has not yet fallen."

"Smart." Seventh Sister praised: "This is a man-made project."

I touched my nose, so that the identity of the dwarf was even more curious, the shadow behind me moved, I glanced at Seventh Sister, and deliberately turned up the volume: "Seventh Sister, you saw it in the coffin. what?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Seventh Sister said, "The coffin inside is a double coffin, with a wooden lid on the outside and a silk cloth on the inside. I haven't smelled anything since I lifted the first lid. When the second layer of silk cloth-wrapped coffin lid was lifted, a pungent smell came from inside, and the corpse inside was naked, not even shrouds."

"That's wrong. Look at the tombstones and the size of the tomb. The people buried inside are either rich or expensive. With such a good tombstone, why don't you have money to buy life clothes?" I coughed.

When a person dies, he must wash his body and put on new clean clothes, that is, a shroud.Shroud means health and longevity, and the upper garment is usually thicker than the lower garment.

When people die, they are always put in a coffin first, and the coffin often has to be parked at home for some time.Generally, the older the deceased, the longer the parking time.Some of them could not be buried for a while because the cemetery was not selected, and some had been kept at home for several years.This will inevitably lead to a problem. The corpse in the coffin will rot after a long time, and liquid will flow out, and it may also leak through the coffin.In order to prevent leakage, in addition to putting water-absorbing things such as plant ash and straw paper in the coffin, more clothes should be worn to absorb water.People's internal organs are in the upper body, and when they rot, there is more water than the lower body, so the upper body should wear more clothes than the lower body.Those who die young are usually buried in the ground soon after death, so they can wear less clothes.Later generations inherited it and became a custom, and it has been used all the time.

Except for the empty coffin in the tomb where Xiaoqi lived, the dead in the rest of the coffins didn't even have shrouds. Why?
Just as I was about to speak, Seventh Sister gave me a look and suddenly turned her body to one side. Her palm turned up, and there was a mirror in her palm. I saw Xiao Qi in the mirror!

He was lurking behind a tombstone behind him, holding a bow and crossbow with arrows on it, he knelt down on one knee, as if aiming, Seventh Sister gave me a look, and she had already pulled out the gun, I I was startled, my mind was like a war between heaven and man, I had to make a choice right away, right away!
There was a "boom" in my head, and the moment Seventh Sister turned around to shoot, I rushed over, held down Seventh Sister's hand, pressed her body to the ground, and elbowed Seventh Sister's right hand holding the gun. , The gun fell to the ground, I kicked it again, and kicked the gun aside, Seventh Sister Wan didn't expect me to be like this, she was completely stupid: "Lin Tianyi, what are you doing?"

"Run!" I turned around and shouted at Xiaoqi, "Your arrows are not as fast as your guns."

Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, he glanced at me, turned around silently, and disappeared into the darkness, I let go of my hand, Qijie was so angry that she punched me on the nose, I just felt a hot stream gushing out of my nose , a smell of blood floated under the nose, and she reached out her hand to wipe it, and it was blood on the palm of her hand. Seventh sister stepped back angrily: "What are you thinking in your mind, that guy wants to kill us, the blood on his hand Holding the arrow, this is the evidence that he hurt Hai Dongqing, how can you save him?"

I squatted on the ground dejectedly: "Seventh sister, I'm sorry, are you injured?"

Seventh Sister looked at her arm angrily, there was a scrape on it, and it was already red. If Lao Jiu knew it, he would definitely slap me. I coughed lightly: "I have a feeling that he is not a bad person. If he wants to kill us, You won’t hesitate all the time just now, will you?”

From Seventh Sister taking out the mirror to drawing out the gun, there was actually 30 seconds in between. During the 30 seconds, he had already set his pose. He really wanted to kill someone. Would he miss the golden time of 30 seconds?This is his territory, he lives here, and the light is better for him, so I'll take a wild guess—he doesn't want to kill people.

What made me more confident was that in the three encounters with him, he was magnanimous, gentle and comfortable. As a dwarf with such an aura, I really don't believe he is a bad person.

Seventh Sister stared at me and sighed helplessly: "I hope your decision is correct."

"It must be true." I was also beating my heart, but there was an inexplicable force supporting me. Seventh sister walked away angrily. But Laojiu's favorite person, the boss of the Qinghu Club, luckily Tieshou was not there, I finally stood up, and at the moment I stood up, a thought crossed my mind, I clenched my fists, can't it, can't it be such a coincidence?
I immediately ran to look for the tiger, they had already opened a tomb, and when I saw the opening, I immediately went in, "Tiger!"

The tiger trembled in fright, turned around and scolded me: "Fuck, you know the rules in the underground, you can't call his name loudly behind your companions, fuck, people are scary, scary to death."

"I was wrong, I was wrong." The man was flexible, and I hurriedly cupped my hands and said, "The coffin is open?"

This is also a double-layered coffin, the tiger glared at me, then moved away: "Look for yourself, it's the same as before, the corpse inside doesn't even have a shroud, just lying inside naked."

I leaned over to look, and there was a male corpse lying inside. The second layer of the coffin's lid wrapped in silk cloth was to enhance the sealing of the coffin. As long as the air does not enter, the inside is equivalent to a vacuum. It is strange that the smell is not strong when it is opened. Well, the body of the male corpse is a zombie, with his hands hanging straight on his sides, his legs are also straight, the flesh and flesh are not seriously rotted, and the face of the corpse is still clearly identifiable. I moved my eyes to the hair of the corpse, and immediately cursed out loud : "Damn, why did the coffins in the Qing Dynasty have such hair?"

Zuo Yidao immediately said: "Boss Bu is really smart, this is a big loophole, what's going on?"

It turns out that the man in the coffin had his hair fully covered. If he was a man in the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely shave his head. All the hair is shaved, leaving only a piece of hair the size of a copper coin.The hairstyle that only shaved the front half of the hair did not appear until the Qing court weakened in the late Qing Dynasty, and if that hairstyle was put in the early Qing Dynasty, it would be a capital offense.Because in the early Qing Dynasty when shaving hair and making clothes easier, it was stipulated that "those who shave their hair not as good as the style should be beheaded."

The level of the stele and the tomb is from the Qing Dynasty, but the person lying inside is disheveled!It's still an official, how is it possible, Zuo Yidao said again: "There is one more thing that is a little strange, you see, if you are not from the Qing Dynasty, you will not know how to let go of your hair. Wear half of it, wear half of it, and wear it all after the 20-year-old coming-of-age ceremony."

"Yeah, foreigners only wear their hair. If it is Han people who wear it, it is regarded as an ominous sign of the country's subjugation. When Emperor Chongzhen was about to die, there was a will: When I die, I will see my ancestors in the ground without a face. I will cover my face with hair. The thief split my corpse." I said, "Could this person be from the late Qing Dynasty? Nima, that's not right, everything here is according to the Qing Dynasty's burial specifications."

Seventh Sister stood silently at the side, I guess she was greeting my eight times ancestor in her heart, she was rough outside just now, but now she can still act as if nothing had happened, and looked at Seventh Sister with iron hands: "What's wrong?"

My heart was raised, Seventh Sister looked at me indifferently, and said coldly: "It's nothing."

Iron Hand was not so easy to deal with, he suddenly grabbed Seventh Sister's arm: "Why are you injured?"

"It's dark outside, I accidentally tripped over it." Seventh Sister said impatiently, "Is there a bright weapon? I didn't go anywhere else."

The iron hand no longer broke the casserole and asked the end, so my heart was relieved. In order to confirm whether other tombs were in the same situation, I entered four tombs with them, and they were all in the same situation. Double-layer coffins, naked corpses , Dispersed, really evil!
