Chapter 288 The corpse of the shade fruit
Since the experts also agreed to open the coffin to see what was going on, Zhang Ping was happy to see it. However, at this point, his identity has retired to the second line, but he has become a consultant. The leading force became two experts and a member of the subsequent archaeological team.
Zhang Ping did not compete with them, but still enthusiastically introduced the relevant experience to them, and carefully advised them of possible problems. Curator Jin Rong naturally knew Zhang Ping's energy and did not dare to neglect it. You know, this guy is the person arranged by Deputy Secretary Liu Dawen, and this coffin was found out first, and there was nothing wrong with them at all.
In fact, as locals, Jin Rong and Mi Tianqing are not unfamiliar with the Kaihua Temple and the loquat tree, and they also know those rumors. But I never thought that there was a thousand-year-old iron coffin hidden about three meters deep under the loquat tree. In addition to being ashamed, he also secretly admired Zhang Ping. It takes three or five days for people to come here, and they can see that there is another mystery under the loquat tree. This ability is really amazing.
And Liu Dahai and others' perception of Zhang Ping rose to a height, and the mysterious color on Zhang Ping became stronger and stronger. But at this time, their attention was all on the coffin, and several people kept whispering, guessing what would be inside.
However, the next situation made everyone stunned. In order to maintain the scene as much as possible, a workbench was set up on the spot, and the opening of the museum was also carried out on the spot. It was noon, and the sun was very strong, but the archaeologists were like enemies, with serious expressions on their faces and some inexplicable things in their hands.
Jin Rong looked at Zhang Ping's surprised appearance. The old man blushed and explained, "Well, this, this, this thousand-year-old coffin, I don't know what it looks like inside, or it's better to be more prepared. Nuo, the main thing they hold in their hands is to deal with those very unexpected situations. Hey hey, it's nothing more than some mirror mahogany jujube core or something.
Under the explanation of Mi Tianqing, Zhang Ping was suddenly clear that the curator of this museum was also worried about some zombies, and he had prepared a lot of things to ward off evil spirits.
The bronze mirror "Compendium of Materia Medica" mentions: the mirror is the essence of golden water, with light inside and dark outside.
Peach branch, peach tree sword "The Age of Jingchu": Peaches, the essence of the five elements, can be tired of evil spirits and control hundreds of ghosts.
Chicken crow "Zi Bu Yu": The ghost shrinks when the ghost hears the chicken crow.
Seven jujube nuclei "Zibutyu": seven jujube nuclei are nailed into the back of the corpse.
Burn the ultimate extermination of the corpse. Zi Buyu: set fire to it, the sound of tut, and the sound of blood and bones.
Glutinous rice is in the south. When people die at home, they eat glutinous rice to dispel evil spirits and prevent zombies.
Ink bucket line is a carpenter's tool used to draw straight lines on the wall. The ink in the ink bucket is cinnabar added with ink.
Haha, Zhang Ping's eyes are an eye-opener. Speaking of which, Jin Rong's group of people traveled north and south, but they have experienced a lot of supernatural things, and they are also very familiar with ancient tomb coffins and so on. At this time, when he saw the coffin dug out under the loquat tree, he was very familiar with the preparations and waited for Jin Rong to give orders to open the hall.
Jin Rong looked around the coffin carefully again and was about to guide his men to open the hall. Suddenly, there was a sharp meow not far away. Everyone looked up. On the wall of the Kaihua temple, a dark black cat squatted on the wall, and a pair of blue eyes were staring at them.
Zhang Ping suddenly stood up, pointed to the black cat and shouted loudly, "This black cat, be careful, this black cat is weird!"
Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard him shouting. Ellie asked Zhang Ping doubtfully, "This is just a kitten. What's so strange?"
The curator Jin Rong was like a big enemy. He ordered him to pay attention and not let the black cat break in. Zhang Ping couldn't answer Eli. He walked to Jin Rong and said, "Curator Jin, a few nights ago, I wanted to see if this Kaihua Temple was really haunted. I once encountered strange things in the wing. At that time, the black cat appeared."
Jin Rong looked solemn and nodded and said, "The people in the Central Plains have always regarded black-haired cats as unlucky. There are always some evil things in places where black cats often appear. However, the black cat is also a spirit cat. Because it can see some unclean things, the ancients used it as a house to ward off evil cats, which is far from other fur-colored cats. When we do these things, the most taboo thing is the black cat cheating corpse. These black cats and dogs are the most swayed, but whenever they bump into these creatures, they should always be careful.
While talking, the black cat meowed again, and then suddenly disappeared, and everyone turned their attention back to the coffin.
Jin Rong issued an order, and two strong young men began to take up the wooden nails. Halfway through, their faces changed a little. One of the young men said in panic, "Curator, this is a mahogany nail!"
Peach nails? Jin Rong pushed away the young man, pulled out a wooden nail, and looked at it. It was indeed a mahogany nail, bright, and there was no rust damage at all. Jin Rong said in a low voice, "Be careful, everyone. I'm afraid there are some strange things inside."
The two young men in charge of the nail looked nervous and their hands trembled a little, but they still counted all the eight mahogany nails on the coffin in full view of the public. Jin Rong divided the mahogany nail into four parts. He and Mi Tianqing each had one, and the other two were given to Zhang Ping and Liu Dahai. He said, "If there is something unclean in this coffin, this mahogany nail is the best offensive means. You two should be good at it. Listen to me then."
Zhang Ping and Liu Dahai quickly agreed, and let the three women take a few steps back to make a perfect solution.
With the rattling sound, the lid of the coffin was slowly pushed open. When it was pushed away, a few dull sounds suddenly came from the coffin. The two young men in charge of opening the hall turned around and ran away in fear, and the people around them also stepped back a few steps, looking at the coffin with fear on their faces.
After waiting for a moment, I didn't find anything strange, and even the sound was gone. Jin Rong motioned to continue. The two young men bravely walked a few steps forward without any movement. Then they walked to the coffin and did not dare to look in. They directly pushed the lid of the coffin to one side with a bang. The lid fell to the ground and splashed a piece of dust.
Jin Rong and Mi Tianqing waited for a while. When the depression inside was exhausted, they would go forward to check. Zhang Ping followed them to the coffin and looked in. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. There is also a slightly smaller coffin in the coffin, but it is not made by cold iron wood. It is just ordinary cypress wood, but in the corner of the coffin, there is a plant growing, which is not more than ten centimeters high. A fruit is actually on several dark leaves, bright red and bright red, which is very eye-catching. At this time, Zhang Ping patted the small coffin gently with his hand, and the fruit swayed, just touching the coffin outside, making a dull crashing sound.
Zhang Ping couldn't help laughing. It turned out that the sound of pushing the lid open just now came from. Jin Rong and Mi Tianqing looked at each other, but their faces were even more solemn. Zhang Ping noticed their expressions and asked if there was anything to say.
Jin Rong pointed to the red fruit and said, "Have you seen it? The fruit is called the shade fruit, which usually only grows in the coffin. Only after the body becomes a shade corpse will the shade fruit be accidentally transformed. And in this coffin, if I guess correctly, I'm afraid it has become a corpse.
The shade corpse is also known as raising the corpse. The corpse does not decay after burial. Some are buried for the next 20 years, and some even do not for a hundred years (such as mummies and bodhisattvas). Some have intact skeletons, and some corpses in the coffin float on the water and rot and do not decay. There are two kinds of corpses, one is a dry corpse, the other is a wet corpse, a dry corpse is a hateful eight evil, and a wet corpse is a malignant eight evil, which is a hateful eight evil.
I'm afraid this has something to do with the outer coffin. Since this coffin is made of cold iron wood, I'm afraid it is also because the body will not rot. And the appearance of this shade fruit shows that the body may still have some vitality hidden inside. When chatting just now, Zhang Ping also said that the fruit of the loquat fruit is extremely cold, I'm afraid it's because of the cold iron wood and the corpse. The loquat tree is good at gathering yin, and the roots are intertwined with this coffin.
Through the loquat tree, the shade corpse can absorb the yang qi from the outside world, but it is also limited to the creatures that are not very heavy. Otherwise, the yang qi is more vigorous, and the loquat tree can't absorb it. Therefore, it is said in ancient times that it is more taboo to let pregnant women or children approach next to this loquat tree, which is the reason.
After listening to this, everyone took a deep breath, and a few timidly shrank back. Mi Tianqing noticed everyone's emotions and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. This corpse is not in the weather, and it has nothing to do. And now it's noon, that is, when the yang is at its peak, there should be no problem.
Everyone's heart was relieved and focused on Jin Rong and others again. Jin Rong asked Zhang Ping to help remove the wooden nails of the small coffin, which were also eight mahogany nails. The two of them carefully held the small coffin with their hands. With a force of their hands, the lid of the coffin had been lifted up by them and put aside.
Inside the coffin is the body of a child. The hair and nails of the child's body are very long. The nails are already curly, and the hair is no less than that of ordinary people. At this time, the skin color of the corpse was dark and dark, and the dry eyes collapsed, the cheekbones were towering, and the rotten mouth opened slightly, revealing two sharp teeth, a real pair of blue fangs.
Jin Rong saw that many people were in panic and quickly explained, "In fact, people stop breathing after death, and then their hearts and brains die one by one, but the cells in the body have not completely died, and they still produce all kinds of nutrients needed by the human body.
And the corpse's hair and nails absorb nutrients and continue to grow, which is not surprising. As for the sharpness of the teeth, it is because the original two canine teeth are sharp, and the teeth will continue to grow, but very slowly.
When we live eat every day, our teeth will constantly wear out, so we don't look so sharp and maintain almost the same length. The body of the shady corpse will continue to provide nutrients, and the teeth will naturally grow. The corpse does not need to eat, the teeth are not worn, and the body is rotten, and the gums are a little shedding. Naturally, it looks sharper than ordinary people. This is also the reason why mice bite the furniture everywhere. The teeth of mice grow faster than humans. If they don't bite things to wear their teeth, the teeth will pierce the skin and even lead to their death.
