Chapter 59 Yellow intestine questioning

"I remember it was July. Not long after the six of us entered the desert, we couldn't stand the heat. One of them was Hu Hansan, who was a little fat. Fat people are most afraid of heat. The sweat on their bodies was like the water of a small river. Hu Hansan said that he couldn't stand the heat, and it was better to fight in Beijing. In fact, everyone knows that the gloomy wind in the underground palace is blowing, and I feel cold sweating all over my body, which is definitely a good place to escape the summer heat. There is no way. It's impossible to step into the tiger's den and think about it again. The six people bravely walk forward. Speaking of this, Elder Jia took a sip of water and emphasized, "This is the first strange thing encountered in the desert."

Elder Jia glanced at Liu Dashao and Big Scorpion, sold a good boy and said, "Guess who we met? You can't guess it, the corpse shed! We have seen the custom of the Miao people driving corpses in Xiangxi, but we have never seen the custom of drying corpses in the Tibetan desert!"

"At that time, not only Hu Fatty was hot, but we thin monkeys were also hot, but in order to strengthen the team's determination, no one showed it, so we walked forward, hoping to meet an oasis or a straw shed or something, and we can temporarily escape the heat." Elder Jia completely entered the scene at that time. "Fatpang zi Hu couldn't stand the heat. Naturally, he paid more attention to the situation around him. Suddenly, he pointed to the front and said, look, is there a house? As soon as we heard that it was a house, we all felt hopeive, but we felt cooler at this time.

Jia Zhuangyuan and six others walked towards the house. It was undoubtedly a pie falling from the sky to meet such a good thing in the desert. Just dozens of meters away from the house, Fatty Hu suddenly said, "It's not right. It doesn't seem to be a house." After his reminder, the other five people noticed that it was really not a house. To put it bluntly, it was a shelf made up with a few wooden pillars.

There seems to be something hanging on the shelf, black and long! When the six people got closer, they couldn't help taking a cold breath: all the bodies were hanging on the beams around! Some have been dried, and some seem to have just hung up.

"What a Damn bad luck. I didn't expect to encounter this for the first time in the desert!" Hu Hansan said with his eyes half closed under the poisonous sun.

Jia Zhuangyuan said whether this is a place of execution. What he meant is that this is a guillotine for hanging. Some criminals are extremely vicious, most of them are the heads of the mountain. There are at least dozens of brothers under his hands, so they can't be simply shot in public, which will be in danger of robbing the legal arena. Generally, this kind of secret is pulled. The place to execute.

Of the six people, Bi Sazhu is a thin monkey, but he is a monkey spirit. His father is a pig killer and gave birth to a son. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the "pig" and named it "pig killing", but his wife did not agree when she died. There is such a precious son. He can't expect him to kill pigs in the future, so he took a homonym: Sazhu. Bi Sazhu was really taught by his father. At the age of five, he began to kill pigs with a knife, but he stabbed the pig without any rules. Later, I entered the gold-touching school.

Bi Sazhu smelled it and said, "Which one of you has a nose? Do you smell it here? When he said this, the other five people smelled it. There was indeed a faint fragrance here. At that time, they were scared by the situation in front of them, and no one was aware of it.

Bi Sazhu's inference is correct: if he is a condemned prisoner, it is impossible to spray some perfume here. Besides, these bodies are intact, and there are no particularly obvious traces of injury.

So everyone inferred: Will it be specially used to make mummified corpses in the desert? At that time, there was no formarin solution, and the corpse could not be soaked to keep the body from rotting bacteria, so the Tibetan people uniquely discovered the great invention of making mummified corpses to prevent decay.

Speaking of anti-corrosion technology, China is a great country. For thousands of years, there are many anti-corrosion methods, such as applying preservatives on corpses. The most important ones are spices, such as Chinese dragon brains and benzoin. They make the air fresh, and corpses emit fragrance and anti-corrosion killing. Chinese people knew it thousands of years ago. Dao was smeared on the body to embalm. Especially the ancient Egyptians, the fragrant corpse made of frankincense, that is, the mummy in the pyramid.

Another anti-corrosion technology can be started from tombs. "Yellow intestines" is a good anti-corrosion method. Yellow intestine" refers to the yellow heart of the cypress, that is, the peeled cypress. "The question" means that the heads of the wood are arranged inward, and such a form of accumulation is solid. The yellow intestine question" together explains that it refers to the frame-shaped structure made of cypress wood around the mausoleum. A wall is built around the coffin with a wooden roof, which is like a house, and there is a toilet outside. Princes, doctors and scholars below the emperor can also use questions, but generally cypress wood cannot be used, because there are strict grade restrictions on tomb materials, but they can be replaced by pine and zi wood. After the death of Huo Guang, a famous general in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, considering his outstanding contributions during his death, "given Zi Palace, toilet room and yellow intestines one by one."

"Yellow intestine" represents the noble identity and status of the tomb owner, and another meaning is conducive to protecting the coffin and preventing damage. However, this kind of tomb is really expensive. There are tens of thousands of yellow-hearted cypress trees! Although it is wasteful, as long as the best anti-corrosion effect can be achieved, the ancient officials and nobles don't care so much! It can be said that the coffin anti-corrosion technology used by ancient dignitaries is not something that ordinary people can't afford.

There is another kind of mummified corpse, and the mummy is an artificial mummified corpse. After the death of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, the body cavity was cut open and the internal organs were taken out. The body was watered with hot rosin, and then wrapped in a cloth soaked with rosin. The unearthed mummy had rosin in the skull and in the mastorta. It can also achieve the effect of anti-corrosion.

The mummified corpse hanging in front of us is an artificial mummified corpse, which ordinary people can generally afford. Take advantage of the dry and high-temperature weather in Tibet to dehydrate the corpses and naturally form a mummified corpse. In addition to Loulan's dry corpse, Hami also has dry corpse, which is made locally like raisins. In an extremely dry environment, the water in the body quickly evaporates. At the same time, it also inhibits the reproduction of bacteria, and the corruption of the carcass is stopped and better preserved.

After a person dies, the body is relatively easy to rot, and it will take some time to make a mummified corpse, so it is a good way to apply incense to the body. The fragrance that six people smelled just now came from the body that had just hung up.

Hu Hansan and Jia Zhuangyuan, six people, felt that they couldn't stand the sultry heat just now, but now, when they saw this situation, they were all scared and stuck out their tongues. They immediately sweated coldly on their backs and began to talk about the Bodhisattva in their hearts.

In order to prevent fraudulent corpses, the surrounding columns and beams are painted with red cinnabar. Generally, in this situation, it is better not to provoke the dead, so as not to have unclean things to pester you.

"It's okay. I didn't find a house. It's good now. It's cool!" Psad smiled helplessly.

Several of them have been made into mummified corpses, and the cyan blood vessels can be clearly seen. Who knows how bold Hu Hansan usually praises himself. At this time, he can't hold on any longer and begins to vomit.

Just when everyone else made fun of Hu Hansan and hardly noticed it, they suddenly saw several bodies that had just hung up and began to shake!

"No, I'm going to cheat the corpse!" Jia Zhuangyuan felt something was wrong. Seeing a corpse swaying crazily, he seemed to want to break free from the rope tied to his hands on it!

So the five people hurriedly took out the black donkey's hooves and held them tightly in their hands. Hu Hansan stopped vomiting. He quickly took out a handful of glutinous rice from his pocket and sprinkled it on the violently shaking body. However, I don't know what's going on this time. The glutinous rice didn't work. The body shook more violently. I had no choice but to use the black donkey's hoof in my hand.

Five people threw grenades in turn and hit the shaking corpse. They only heard "squeak" twice, and the six immediately felt hair on their bodies.

The five black donkey's hoofs seemed to work, and the body began to slowly stop shaking. Just as the six people secretly congratulated, the body suddenly shook again. Before the six people could see clearly, they saw two huge black things fall to the ground, "squeaking" twice, which made people frightening.

With the help of strong sunshine, six people finally saw clearly: two huge mice, the head and feet can compete with a piglet, and the teeth are particularly sharp. At first, the teeth were really born to eat mummified corpses. Nature is really strange, one thing drops the other.

This is not an ordinary domestic rat. It is also a little different from a gopher. Their nest is generally 40 meters underground in the desert, so as to isolate the heat of the desert, and the moisture exhaled wets the air in the cave. Their teeth seem to be born to eat mummified corpses. Their teeth are very sharp and can easily tear open mummified corpses. Their kidneys can automatically filter urine and then send most of the water back to the blood vessels, which can be used repeatedly. So these special mice don't need drinking water even if they eat mummified corpses!

With their sharp teeth, the two mice saw six living people standing in front of them. They did not seem to panic and fled. Instead, they turned their heads and stood there, with an angry voice in their throats, as if to warn them.

After confronting each other for a long time, no one dared to move easily. Suddenly, the two mice, as if they had seen a cat, left the dry corpse and ran desperately to the distance of the desert. This sudden change stunned the six people and didn't know what had happened.

Jia Zhuangyuan learned some kung fu from the big fight he taught him in those years. He was good at kung fu and shouted, "Wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go!" As soon as the words fell, he chased him like flying.
