Chapter 64
Because anti-corrosion technology can make the dead feel alive, tomb robbery occurred one after another in official documents and official and unofficial histories. The phenomenon of "live hell" appeared one after another in official documents and bài official and unofficial histories.

The tomb of Wu Rui, who was dubbed the "King of Changsha" by Liu Bang back then, is also amazing after being excavated.Wu Rui was granted the title of Panyang Ling during the Qin Dynasty, and Xiang Yu, king of Chu, was given the title of Hengshan King.Liu Bang came to the throne, changed Linjiang to Changsha, and named him King of Changsha.According to historical records, Wu Rui was an official and won the hearts of the people. Liu Bang died of illness in the second year after he became emperor (201 BC) and was buried in the north of Changsha City.

Wu Rui's tomb is very tall. According to the "Shui Jing·Xiangshui Zhu" written by Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, "there is a tomb of Wu Rui in the north of the county. There are temples built.

"Taiping Yulan" said: "At the end of the Wei and Huang Dynasties, Wu people sent Wu Rui's mound to take wood and put it in the county Sun Jian Temple. Seeing Rui's corpse, the appearance and clothes were the same. After Wu Ping, the pre-issued mound was sent to Shouchun to meet Nanman Xiaowei Wu Gang said: "What does your appearance look like, Changsha King Wu Rui?But you have short ears. Gang Quran said: "It is the ancestor." "Ban Gu also recorded this story in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty": Sun Quan broke through Changsha, sent people to dig up Wu Rui's tomb, and took the coffin to build a temple for his father Sun Jian. Rui's clothes were as bright as new. The person who was in charge of digging the grave saw Wu Gang, the Nanman school guard in Shouchun. Only then did I realize that Wu Gang was the 16th generation descendant of Wu Rui. These two records prove to us that the wood used in the temple of Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, came from Wu Rui's tomb.

Wu Rui was later "reburied" and moved to his hometown Yaoli (today's Xiuning, Anhui Province, and Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province), and the relics still exist.The excavation of Wu Rui's tomb is recorded in official books, unofficial histories, local chronicles, genealogy and other historical books. It is indeed a bizarre event in the history of tomb robbery in ancient China.

corpse mutant long nails

It is rare for a person who has been dead for many years to have fingernails growing all the way to his back.But this did happen in the coffin of Bian Hu, a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which really surprised the tomb robbers.

Bian Hu (281-328 A.D.), styled Wangzhi, was born in Jiyin Yuanju (southwest of Heze, Shandong today), and was a famous general in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.Assisted Sima Yan, Emperor Cheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with meritorious service, and was promoted to Doctor Guanglu, and served as a regular attendant on cavalry. He died for the country at the age of 48. After his death, he was buried in the vicinity of the Chaotian Palace in Nanjing. A Bian Gong Temple was built, and the Zhongjie Archway was erected. The well in front of the archway is called the Zhongxiao Spring Well.

According to historical records: In the ninth year of Jin Yixi, the tomb of the former Hussar General Bian Hu was stolen, and the coffin was dissected and looted.Bian Hu died in battle in the third year of Emperor Xianhe of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 328), and his grave was excavated in the ninth year of Emperor Yixi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 413), a period of 85 years.In this not too long period of time, if the anti-corrosion treatment is done well, the "dead face is like life" must be credible.For example, Liu Biao looked as good as a living person because he was buried with a lot of spices.But the later record "claws grow to the back", that is to say, after the burial, the nails are still growing like tree roots, so that they reach the back, which is obviously a bit bizarre.However, perhaps some unknown mysterious reason caused Bian Hu's fingernails to continue to grow, and even grew to the back, or it may be that the tomb robbers misread it, or it may really be a tree root that looks like a claw.However, because there is no real thing, all this has become a mystery.

The nails on the corpse can grow out, and the superstitious saying is that they were buried in a "corpse raising place". "The Book of the Earth refers to a place where the pure yin does not change, and the corpse does not change for a long time. It is called raising the corpse, and the main murderer." The corpse buried here will not rot, and the hair, teeth, nails, etc. will continue to grow.In the past, Feng Shui masters believed that this place was not suitable for burial.

Another theory is that the body was not buried in time after death. "Zibuyu" said in "Qinzhong Tomb Road": "The land in Qinzhong is extremely thick, and there are those who dig three to five feet without reaching the spring. To the west of Fengxiang, the custom: people are not buried immediately after death, and they are exposed as much as their flesh and blood. Dissolve it and then bury it, otherwise it is said that there will be evil. If the corpse is not digested and buried, once it gets the earth's energy, after three months, hair will grow all over the body. evil."

But these arguments are not even reasonable in today's view.

Burglary exhumation encounters fraudulent corpse

Among the many "ghosts" phenomena, the number of "female ghosts" found by tomb robbers far exceeds that of "male ghosts". In the robbed and excavated imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty, those high-ranking "dragons" have all turned into piles of dead bones , but there are two "phoenixes" hovering under the "dragon" that are still vivid after years of death.

When Sun Dianying led his subordinates to plunder Cixi's Dingdong Tomb, they used powerful explosives. As a result, most of the emperor's coffins were damaged by the huge shock generated by the explosive explosion, but only Cixi's coffin He was safe and sound, so that when more than a dozen of Sun Dianying went to steal the treasures in Cixi's coffin, they managed to hack with a knife for a long time before they succeeded.Why is Cixi's coffin so strong?It turned out that Empress Dowager Cixi's coffin was made of a kind of extremely precious golden nanmu, which was produced in the primitive dense forest in Southwest China.The surface of the coffin is painted with 49 layers of gold paint. After the paint is finished, the mantra of the Four Heavenly Kings is written in Tibetan to protect the dead.This radiant golden lacquer outer coffin was hacked to pieces by bandits with knives and axes.The bandits removed the broken coffin, revealing a red-painted Yunnan-gold inner coffin.The bandit officials were afraid that they would damage the treasures in the coffin by hacking with knives and axes, so they strictly ordered the bandit soldiers to carefully pry open the inner coffin with knives.Cixi's inner coffin was also made of red lacquer Dianjin.Making this coffin with three layers inside and three layers outside can naturally ensure its sufficient anti-vibration ability. Maybe if there is a vibration greater than the explosion, Cixi's coffin will be safe and sound.

It is strange that the inner and outer coffins survived the explosion, but it certainly did not arouse the curiosity of the bandit soldiers who robbed the tomb, because their thoughts were all focused on the treasures in Cixi's coffin.However, what happened next really scared the soldiers who robbed the tomb to death. Why did this happen?What happened to Sun Dianying's soldiers after they split open Cixi's coffin?
It turned out that when Sun Dianying's soldiers pried open the lid of Cixi's coffin, countless rays of light shot out from inside the coffin. The rays of light were alternately mixed in sapphire blue, purple, bright red, and tender green and shot towards the underground palace.The entire underground palace shimmers like a magnificent rainbow in the western sky after autumn, dazzling and brilliant.The entire back room of the underground palace was lit up like daylight.I saw a woman with a lively face, wearing a gorgeous and rich shroud, wearing a phoenix crown with nine dragons playing pearls on her head. On the phoenix crown was a big lotus leaf with emerald green stalks and ribs, and a big emerald tourmaline lotus under her feet, quietly Lie on your back among the colorful and rare treasures.The jade pillow about two feet long emits green colored light, and on the golden silk nine-dragon and phoenix crown is a precious orb weighing more than four taels, the golden light shimmers and shines beautifully.The entire coffin is like a sea of ​​golden light, with blue hair like ink, cheekbones protruding, eyes slightly closed, and a face that looks like life.However, this scene disappeared in an instant, and Cixi's seemingly lively body in the coffin suddenly shrank and collapsed like cold water on the beach, and her pink face changed from red to white, and from white to purple , from purple to black, the slightly closed eyes gradually opened, the cheekbones protruded, and the hands with more than an inch of white hair due to mildew contracted suddenly as the whole body collapsed, tightly closed. The lips parted in the turbulence, and two rows of teeth suddenly appeared...

"It's a corpse!" Under the tremendous psychological pressure of extreme nervousness, a soldier felt that Cixi had jumped up, grabbed his hair, and strangled his neck.After he couldn't help shouting, he jumped backwards and his whole body fell to the ground with a "plop" and passed out.When the other soldiers heard the sudden cry, a gust of cold air rushed into the top of their heads from bottom to top, their hair stood on end, and they jumped towards the exit of the underground palace with a "wow".The great tension caused all the people to run away. Although Sun Dianying stopped him later, it is really surprising that Cixi's body did not rot after being buried for nearly 20 years.So what kind of mystery is there?

It turns out that Cixi's body has not decomposed for 20 years, all thanks to the various jewels and jades all over her body and around her body.First of all, there is a large night pearl in Cixi's mouth-this pearl is separated into two pieces, and when closed, it reveals a green cold light, which can be seen in the hair within a hundred steps at night.According to the records in ancient books, in addition to emitting light, luminous pearls can also detoxify poisons, seek good luck and avoid evil, and preserve antiseptic properties.Not only does Cixi have a luminous pearl in her mouth, but there are also 8 luminous pearls placed in different places around her. It seems that this thing ensures the freshness of Cixi's body to a certain extent.Secondly, there is a "well" under Cixi's coffin. This "well" is not a well for holding water, but a feng shui "point". Pearls are thrown into the "well" to show the soil (that is, a kind of soil that can grow by itself and never deplete in the legend).Later archaeological investigations showed that there was indeed an underground water vein under Cixi's coffin, which was rich in heavy metals such as mercury. It was precisely because of the heavy metals underneath that it could effectively inhibit the growth of mold and ensure that Cixi's body would not rot for 18 years!
