The Bells and Cauldrons Together

From the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, it was actually rare for emperors, generals, ministers, or ordinary people to use copper as coffins. With the further development of the south, many high-quality woods have entered the aristocracy. Therefore,

Most of the tombs in this period used rare and valuable wood as coffins.

People like Liu Yuan who were obviously in the south but made coffins out of copper were probably the only ones among them.

The coffin must be made of bronze. I have never heard of brass being used. The same is true for the current coffin.

It's not that the ancients couldn't make brass. This thing already existed in the Neolithic period. It wasn't used for coffins, just because it wasn't suitable.

Although the ancients did not have concepts such as physical chemistry, their understanding of the world may not be worse than our modern people after years of living. From a current perspective, bronze is relatively stable, while brass is more wear-resistant and can be used as a coffin.

Yes, it is natural to use something with stable properties when placed underground. How can it be wear-resistant?

We stood in different positions, and as soon as we got started, I knew that I and others were probably encountering the highest-grade bronze coffins.

Everything in ancient times had regulations to be found, and the same was true for bronze casting. It was divided into Liuqi, which used the ratio of copper to tin to divide bronze and clearly stipulated that different bronzes should be used in different places. This coffin of Liu Yuan

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Zhongding Zhiqi among the Liuqi. It is mainly used to make bells and tripods and other ritual vessels. The ratio of copper to tin is about six to one, and copper is heavier than tin. Therefore, the Zhongdingzhiqi is the Liuqi.

The heaviest among them.

This weight difference seems very small. If it is placed on a palm-sized bronze alloy, it can be ignored. However, the problem is that this is a rare double coffin weighing more than ten tons. Even the slightest weight difference will be infinitely magnified.

, and finally reached an astonishing point.

Me, Lao Bai, Wushuang, and Brother Yaozi all started working together and exerted all their strength. The lid of the coffin, which accounted for nearly one-third of the weight of the coffin, was only slightly moved, and the roaring sound sounded like a life-threatening mechanism being activated.

Lao Baibai's face turned red, his hands were exerting force, and his lower body was not resting. His farts were crackling like fried beans, and his eyeballs were faintly bloodshot. He cursed: "In ancient times, copper was like this.

Money, this idiot sleeps on such a big pile of money, and everyone who enjoys it is committing sin. I don’t know if this little son of a bitch sleeps peacefully..."

"Stop talking and try harder!"

I gritted my teeth and said: "The Qi of Bells and Cauldrons was sometimes used to suppress the pulse eye of water veins in ancient times. Have you ever heard of the Iron Ox of the Yellow River? I was thinking about using the Qi of Bells and Cauldrons from the earliest days. Of course the ancients knew that it was a good thing.

I had no choice but to make some calculations and felt that it was too expensive to cast, so I replaced the bells and tripods with iron. Our brothers were trying to pry up the coffin, as if they were trying to suppress something that suppresses the pulse. It is not easy to shake it.

!!”

It has to be said that using a huge coffin of this proportion is also a means of preventing theft in a sense. Leaving aside the masters like Sun Dianying who brought the army to rob the tomb, most of the folk folk would do it in two or three people.

One person steps on the spot, one person waits on top to get something, and one person goes to the grave. If it is a gang of this size, they can only stare at a coffin of this size.

How many tomb robbers have there been in the past? How many Sun Dianyings are there? Most of them are poor people who can't survive, so they set their sights on the dead. This kind of arrangement can be said to directly block nine out of ten tomb robbers. Simple

Practical, but a bit expensive, and full of rich-money flavor, similar to those people nowadays who frequently buy a few sets of 648, and throw out 999 when they disagree, leaving others with no gaming experience...

Like a red-eyed bullfight that was stimulated, several people bent their waists and exerted their strength, almost to the point of weakness, and finally opened the coffin. At the last joint, Wushuang took the crowbar, like opening a beer bottle,

With a slight pry, the coffin lid was lifted directly, and with a "bang", the coffin platform was smashed open.

Behind her, Lady Wan immediately stood up on her tiptoes and shined the flashlight towards the coffin.

As we expected, there were indeed two people in the coffin, a man and a woman. They looked like a couple sleeping. The man was lying on his back, and the woman was curled up on her side under the man's armpit, as if she was absorbing something from the man.

It's like a sense of security.

What's interesting is that the man's body shows no signs of decay at all, and his face is pale with a hint of dark green. The woman is as good as a mummy. However, the clothes on the woman are as new as new, while the robe on the man is like burnt paper ashes.

The same, leaving only a dark layer attached to the skin, but the pattern on it is vaguely visible. This robe is very bookish, and it is exactly what was often called the white fish dragon suit in ancient times.

Needless to say, this man is Liu Yuan.

The white fish dragon costume was the only attire worn by emperors in ancient times when they left the palace. It can be seen that Liu Yuan was still a little unwilling after all, and was finally buried in the emperor's attire. However, he was not brave enough and was afraid of offending the old Zhao family.

Therefore, he did not dare to wear the imperial attire, so he had the strange appearance of being buried in this white fish and dragon suit.

"Fuck!"

Lao Bai had been observing the woman with side eyes. At this moment, he exclaimed and lost his voice: "This is not a woman, this is an old man. Damn, his beard is so long, he looks like the second generation of the beautiful bearded man!"

"

Because the woman was lying on her side, almost huddled under the armpit of Liu Yu's corpse, I did not notice this at first. Only after Lao Bai reminded me did I see that there was indeed a mass of black hair pressing on the chest of the female corpse.

The hair came from the woman's chin and upper lip, but had fallen out as the body dried up.

It is not uncommon for women to have long beards. Many women have this problem, but it is really rare for a beard like the one in front of you to grow dozens of centimeters long.

I thought of what Xiaozhi had said, looked weird, and murmured: "Fan Huzi, this is Fan Huzi. What's interesting, the person sharing the coffin with Liu Yuan is not Li Guifei, the adopted daughter of the eunuch Li Tuo, but... Fan Huzi!"

!”

This is very intriguing...

Brother Yaozi reached out and touched the male corpse. It looked full of flesh and blood, but the flesh and blood had long been inelastic. It was as stiff as frozen pork pulled out of the refrigerator. He pressed hard and immediately left a pit on his arm.

But it cannot be restored to its original state.

"Liu Yuan faked his corpse!"

Brother Yaozi said calmly: "It's cold and stiff, and the flesh and blood neither rot nor wither. This is exactly what a vampire jump zombie looks like. Although it is not as fierce as the flying zombies, it is still a very powerful zombie."

As he spoke, he held his breath and opened the mouth of Liu Yuan's body. Sure enough, fangs had grown out of it.

"It's strange..."

Brother Yaozi shook his head and said: "This vampire zombie is the most vicious and the most threatening to living people, because this thing opens its eyes with resentment, not the kind of fake corpse that has been infused with yang energy. It is mostly a soul.

Unable to rest in peace, unable to swallow a breath of resentment, so they stir up trouble. Many masters who have suffered great humiliation after death are prone to this situation. Once the corpse is fake, it is like a wild beast, needing to constantly eat and suck blood. Anyone who has been sucked, even if there is no

Even if it bleeds to death, it will also be poisoned by corpse poison. This thing has an extremely sensitive sense of smell and is most interested in human blood. It will wake up immediately if a living person appears within a few kilometers, but this person in front of him is so comfortable.

It’s interesting to see several big living people standing motionless in front of me!”

When I heard this, my heart moved. I tied my hands with three clear fingers to protect myself. I put my fingers on the jumping corpse's chin and pushed it up slightly. The jumping corpse immediately raised its chin, and I saw that there was a black belt tied around its neck.

, the strap is like a rubber band, but it is black and shiny, with some oily sheen.

Then, I uncovered the other party's corrupted and unsightly white fish dragon suit. There were similar straps on his wrists and ankles.

Seeing that I saw the clue, Brother Yaozi turned around and asked me: "What is this?"

I didn't respond, but I didn't dare to touch the straps with my hands. After some hesitation, I took out a pair of white gloves from my backpack. After patting my hands with glutinous rice flour, I put on the white gloves and touched the black straps.

, the gloves were stained with something similar to blood plasma, I put it to the tip of my nose and smelled it, the stench was unpleasant, it was the smell of rotting corpses, after taking off the gloves, the glutinous rice flour on my hands was also stained black,

Get some water and rinse it off.
