Chapter 92 Mercury Corpse Boy
"What should we do now?" As soon as Bai Erqi heard that he entered the ancient tomb by himself, he suddenly panicked. According to the countryman, breaking into the mausoleum disturbs the peace of the deceased will be retribution.
Tian Guoqiang said with a smile, "Well, if you stand here and don't move, it won't disturb the peace of the owner of the tomb. Let's go first!"
"No! No! No!" The white man was so scared that he grabbed Tian Guoqiang's clothes.
Liu Dashao sighed and said, "It's impossible to go back now. You have to go forward step by step."
Zhang Enpuri nodded and said, "There may be a way out in the ancient tomb."
How to say this?
Zhang Enpou said, "In order to keep the secret of the ancient tomb, when the mausoleum is completed, they will bury all the craftsmen who built the mausoleum alive in the mausoleum. Some smart craftsmen will quietly dig out a secret path when building the mausoleum, and when they are buried alive, they will quietly escape from the secret path.
Liu Dashao said, "Can you be sure that this ancient tomb has a secret way?"
Zhang Enfu said, " Even rare things such as human skin lanterns have appeared. I think the owner of the mausoleum should not be an ordinary person. Because he is not an ordinary person, such a mausoleum is more likely to have a secret way to escape!"
Zhang Enpune's words strengthened everyone's determination to move forward. Liu Dashao waved the bird gun in his hand and said passionately, "The revolution has not yet succeeded. Comrades still need to work hard. Go!"
Tian Guoqiang rolled up his sleeves and wanted to see the time on the German watch. Who knew that the German watch actually failed here. No matter how he patted it, there was no response. The time stayed at the time when they went into the water.
Liu Dashao raised the flashlight to shine under the platform. This kind of flashlight is not an ordinary flashlight. It is a concentrated flashlight. The light emitted will not disperse, but integrates a beam, which is not only brighter than an ordinary flashlight, but also has a longer range. It is said that it took a lot of effort to find it from the People's Liberation Army. .
Under the platform are the stone steps that are constantly tilting down, like a crawling snake, which can't see the end at a glance. Strangely, there are no stone walls on both sides of the stone steps, but a chaotic darkness. If you touch it with your hand, you can't touch the edge. This feeling is like a suspended ladder in the air. Walking on it, I feel scared, for fear that I will accidentally fall off the edge of the chaos.
The four people walked carefully on the stone steps, and the cold wind roared on the edge of the chaos, like countless ghosts shouting heartbreakingly.
Countless white silk floated out of the chaotic darkness and circled around them.
Bai Erzi was so scared that his legs were weak. He covered his ears and shouted, "Oh, my God, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!"
These white silks are ethereal, and they can't be grasped or driven away. His voice is surrounded by more and more silk. The white man fell to the ground with a pale face. His eyes were dull, and his whole body trembled like a sieve. He shouted vigorously, "Don't come over, don't come over!"
Liu Dashao said to Tian Guoqiang, "Go and help him!"
Tian Guoqiang said, "This guy is really troublesome!" He muttered, walked over and pushed away the silk, and picked up the white ruckle: "Look, you are usually quite bold. At the critical moment, you can rest your fire and follow!"
Over there, Mr. Liu opened the chat and asked Zhang Enpu what the hell are these things?
Zhang Enpuri also shook his head and said he didn't know. Maybe it was a ghost.
As soon as Bai Erqi heard that these silks were ghosts, he collapsed again.
Tian Guoqiang took a lot of effort to pull up this coward.
Everyone walked slowly down the stone steps. They walked about ten meters and came to a corner. Suddenly, they saw a person standing at the corner. Liu Dashao and others immediately stopped and looked at the figure carefully.
The figure was only half a person tall, standing there motionless, raising his arm, as if holding something.
Liu Dashao raised the bird gun decisively, shouted boldly and asked, "Hey, who is in front of you? Report your name!" Oh, what about you? If you don't talk, I'll shoot you in the head!"
Zhang Enpou stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask your name, why are you standing here?"
Liu Dashao said, "Master, don't talk nonsense with him. These demons and ghosts are not good at stubble. Let me solve him with one shot!"
"Hey, wait!" Tian Guoqiang dared to walk over, and gradually, the figure appeared in the bright range of the flashlight. At first glance, the man was so startled that the flashlight almost fell to the ground.
Liu Dashao said nervously, "Strongzi, what's wrong?"
Tian Guoqiang waved to him and said, "It's nothing, it's a child!"
Children?! Why is there a child standing here for no reason? Which child is this? Did you come to this ancient tomb when you have nothing to do?
Everyone came up curiously, and Mr. Liu shone the light of his flashlight on the child, "Look!"
The child is about half a person tall, kneeling on the ground, raising his arms, holding a bronze disk in his palm, and half a candle on the disk. The child's facial features were correct, well-dressed, his limbs were intact, and his tender eyes were wide open, as if he hadn't taken a good look at this colorful world. His face is lifelike and looks like he is alive.
Liu Dashao poked the child with the barrel of the gun, and the barrel of the gun poked the child's body, making a crisp thong sound. The child's stomach seemed to be empty.
His heart was full of doubts. Why did this child appear here? Is this also the burial object of the owner of the tomb? His grandfather's, if this is the case, the owner of this tomb is too unscrupulous!
Zhang Enpu came forward and looked at the child carefully and said, "You are right. This child is indeed the burial goods of the owner of the tomb. It is recorded in Zhengyi Fu Zhuan that this kind of child's body is called Mercury Child Corpse!"
Mercury child corpse? Liu Dashao felt his hair upside down just when he heard the name.
Zhang En Pu explained: "This mercury child corpse is a common burial object of ancient feudal rulers or officials and nobles. Because the child's soul is very clean and has not been stained by the world, it is considered to be the purest burial object. Generally, children who make martyrdoms should choose the kind of handsome and smart children. After selecting these children, the feudal rulers locked them in a place, and then served them with good meat and vegetables. These children were very happy at the beginning. They ate big fish and meat every day. They were so happy, but they didn't know that they had reached the end of death.
After three days of eating and drinking, the feudal rulers will give these children a kind of medicine. Once the medicine is taken, the things in their stomachs will be spit out. When they completely empty the things in their stomachs, the feudal rulers will feed the mercury little by little. For these children, mercury accumulates more and more in the stomach. This process takes about seven days. This process is quite painful. The mercury will corrode the internal organs of these children little by little, and then penetrate into the bone marrow little by little. Finally, the blood vessels of these children are full of mercury. At this time, these children will die. The feudal rulers put these children who ate mercury in a steaming kiln for three days and three nights, and the poor children turned into works of art one after another in the steaming kiln. Three days later, the corpses of these children who came out of the steaming kiln became real mercury child corpses. At this time, the mercury child corpses looked lifelike, just like a real person!"
When Zhang Enpuri said this, Liu Dashao only felt the stomach surging, and he couldn't help spitting up the steamed bun he had just eaten. When he vomited, Tian Guoqiang and Bai Erli also vomited. This mercury child's corpse is simply too terrible. Thinking of those children being forced to swallow toxic mercury, Liu Dashao's stomach hurts **.
Bai Erzi wiped his mouth and said, "Mother Xipi, are these rulers still human beings? You can think of such a perverted thing. It's not a fucking thing!"
Liu Dashao nodded: "These children are really pitiful, master, why don't the parents of these children hide their children? Do they let the rulers take their children away?
