The Strongest Iron Triangle of Tomb Raiders

Chapter 104 The Origin of the Mysterious Skeleton

"It looks like this may be a ghost coffin from hell."

"Third brother, fourth brother, do you think the one lying here is King Xian?"

"Every coffin in this tomb is very strange. We can now confirm that the bronze coffin, the sarcophagus and the sarcophagus are not the king's deity. If you want to know whether this stone spirit coffin is the king's deity, open Just know."

The three coffins in the tomb above represent the first three lives of King Xian, and it is basically certain that King Xian is not inside.

But whether this stone spirit coffin is dedicated to the king himself is not known.

Instead of guessing for no reason, it is better to open the stone spirit coffin.

Whether the person lying inside is King Xian can only be known by opening the coffin for an autopsy.

Ming Li scraped off the red lacquer sealed at the joint of the coffin with a Minghong knife, and Chen Yulou pulled out the seven stone mortise and tenon joints on the coffin with claws.

In a short while, all the stone mortise and tenon joints on the coffin were pulled out.

In addition to the stone mortise and tenon joints, there is also a layer of isinglass glued under the coffin lid. Due to the time, the isinglass and the coffin lid have already been glued to each other.

Ming carp inserted Minghong knife into the gap of the coffin lid, and walked around the inner and outer sides of the coffin, the fish glue on the coffin lid was cut off.

"All right."

"What are you waiting for, come on guys."

"Open the coffin!"

After pushing the coffin lid away, the three of them took a step back in order to prevent the corpse gas from escaping from the coffin.

After the corpse gas generated after the autopsy in the coffin was almost gone, the three of them looked into the coffin.

I saw a male corpse lying in the coffin, wrapped in white cotton from the neck down, only one head could be seen clearly.

"I'll go, the corpse is well preserved."

"It's been dead for so many years, and it hasn't rotted at all."

"By the way, is this King Xian?"

The corpse in the coffin was extremely well preserved, and the flesh on the face did not collapse and shrink at all, and it was lifelike.

But the appearance of death is really scary, the eyeballs have been removed, and the two eye sockets are sunken to form two black and reddish holes, which looks really scary.

"There seems to be something wrong with this corpse."

"Fourth brother, what's wrong?"

"Everything is wrong."

Ming Li roughly peeled off the white cotton wrapped around the neck of the corpse, and found a jade hoop around the neck of the corpse.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the head and body were actually separated.

It seems that the head was cut off first, and then assembled together for encoffining. The function of the jade hoop is to prevent the head from falling off the neck.

Then Ming Li used the Ming Hong knife to cut open the white cotton shroud that wrapped the corpse, and found that the corpse's body was also not right.

Under the white cotton, there is actually a golden skeleton.

Except for a few human bones remaining in the spine, waist and waist and hips, the others are all filled with gold, and there is no trace of flesh on the entire skeleton.

This half-bone and half-gold skeleton seems to be put together again after the corpse rotted. It may be because the original bones were rotten and could not be found, so they were replaced with gold to create such a golden bone.

A gleaming golden bone, a lifelike head, no matter how you look at it, it feels weird.

"Second brother, third brother, look."

"There are a few ribs on the left side, did they not make up on purpose?"

"Second brother, third brother, do you think it is possible that this corpse was pieced together from the bones of the previous three generations who presented the king?"

"Can't you?"

"Is it right? You'll know if you don't see it." Ming Li turned around and walked towards the bronze coffin, grabbing the white-haired zongzi.

After being beheaded, the white-haired rice dumplings gradually began to oxidize.

"Sure enough."

"Fourth brother, what's the matter?"

"The coffin owner in the bronze coffin is missing two legs. It seems that my guess was wrong. This skeleton should be spliced ​​together from the bones of the coffin owners of the three coffins in the tomb."

"That is to say, this guy is not King Xian?"

"Absolutely not, but this should be the masterpiece of King Xian."

"But why did King Xian do this?"

The identity of the skeleton in Shi Jing's coffin was clarified, it was not King Xian.

This skeleton is made of the bones of the three coffin owners in the tomb plus gold splicing.

But Chen Yulou couldn't figure it out, why did King Xian do this, and what's the point of doing it?

"I see."

"Third brother, what do you know?"

"Third Brother, tell me." Ming Li smiled.

He was not surprised that Partridge Whistle could figure it out, because Partridge Whistle was originally considered a Taoist, so how could he not understand the truth.

"Since ancient times, Confucius has benevolence, Lao Tzu has Tao, and Taoism cultivates alchemy and nourishes qi in order to prove Taoism and become immortal, but it is not so easy to prove Taoism and immortality. You have to experience several major disasters, and these disasters are not obtained by force.

Therefore, some members of the Taoist sect find the bones of their previous three lives instead as shadow bones, in order to show to heaven and earth that they have gone through the three prisons and can be reborn.

In this way, this life Huaxian has hope.

The small room we are in represents the underworld, and King Xian will take down the tortured parts of the three corpses and piece them together to form a complete substitute and place it here.

And those three remnants, no matter how you say it, also represent Xian Wang's previous three lives, no different from him, so they were also placed in the main tomb. "

Partridge Whistle, a member of the Daoist sect, is no stranger to looking for his previous three lives as a shadow bone.

However, he has always disagreed with this self-deceiving method.

However, King Xian pursued longevity all his life, was addicted to cultivating immortals and could not extricate himself. He found his previous three lives as a substitute to deceive the world in order to become immortal. Only he can do this kind of thing.

If the world is so easy to deceive, if you can become a fairy by doing this, everyone can find their previous three lives, and everyone will become a fairy.

"So that's how it is." After listening to Partridge Whistle's explanation, Chen Yulou suddenly realized, "Look, my head is dissected."

The stone essence coffin can keep the corpse from decaying for thousands of years, but after the coffin is opened, the corpse will disintegrate quickly when it comes into contact with the air.

Soon, this lifelike head completely changed its appearance.

And this head is likely to come from the coffin owner of Yinzi's wooden coffin.

Because this corpse was transplanted from three other corpses into the stone spirit coffin, it basically retained the characteristics of the three corpses before transplantation, and only the yinzi wooden coffin could preserve the corpse so well.

The head is from the coffin owner of the wooden coffin of Xingzi, representing the Gougan in the Three Prisons.

The body comes from the coffin owner of the seamless sarcophagus, representing the heart of the three prisons.

The legs came from the owner of the bronze coffin, representing the most terrifying soul-destroyer in the three prisons, that's why the owner in the bronze coffin was so fierce.

After figuring out the origin of the skeleton, the three of them continued to carefully examine other characteristics of the skeleton in order to obtain more useful information from the skeleton.
