People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 614: Strange Corpse
But soon everyone's attention was attracted by the number of arms.

Although these arms are entangled with each other, you can still count them if you look closely.

There are 12 arms sticking out of a coffin, which doesn't look right no matter how you look at it.

Even if the specifications of this wooden coffin exceed the standard, it cannot fit so many corpses in it.

Whether it can be installed or not is not a big deal, the main thing is that it is too against the rules.

No matter how unorthodox the tomb owner is, he would never do such a thing.

After all, if that were the case, it would be a waste of this top-quality golden nanmu coffin.

After being alert for a while, seeing that there was no other movement from the coffin, Chen Ziyan decided to go forward and take a look.

He felt that the corpse in the coffin had not transformed into a zombie, because if it had, the corpse would have jumped out by now.

When the others saw Chen Ziyan walking forward, they followed with their weapons in hand.

When he got closer to the coffin, Chen Ziyan discovered that the arms were raised up. It was probably not because of the corpse, but most likely because of some mechanism inside the coffin.

However, the coffin was filled with black water, and apart from the arms sticking out, it was impossible to see the situation below, so this hypothesis could not be confirmed for the time being.

"Could this be human oil?" One of the guys guessed, looking at the black water in the coffin.

You may not notice it from a distance, but now that you are closer, you will find that the black water in here is extremely viscous. If it were a different color, it would be exactly like oil.

"It's unlikely. It should be used for preservation." Chen Ziyan shook his head slightly and said.

Although this black water looks very much like grease, judging from the preservation of the arms in front of us, it is undoubtedly more likely to be preservative fluid.

"Come a few people and clean up the black water inside." Without continuing to dwell on this issue, Chen Ziyan turned around and gave the order.

He wanted to see the body in the coffin with his own eyes, so he cleaned up the troublesome black water, but it was not his turn to do it himself.

Otherwise why would he bring so many people with him?

After hearing what Chen Ziyan said, the guys behind him looked at each other, and after a glance, a few people were selected and started to clean up the black water with bitter faces.

Although they were reluctant in their hearts, they did their job carefully and quickly cleaned up most of the black water in the coffin.

As the water level in the coffin dropped, more things were revealed.

The first thing is the arrangement on the coffin wall. There are several rows of dark golden round nails on the inner wall of the coffin. These round nails are arranged in a row every few centimeters from top to bottom. It looks like it is made of pure gold.

However, it is difficult to determine just by looking at it, after all, gold plating can also have a similar effect.

Further down is a half-exposed corpse. It would be more appropriate to describe it as body parts.

Even Chen Ziyan, who knew the inside story, couldn't help feeling sick when he saw the true appearance of the corpse in the coffin.

"Are there really six bodies in here?" At this moment, Dong Yanxia's voice rang out, interrupting Chen Ziyan's thoughts.

Following the beam of the searchlight in his hand, Chen Ziyan saw six heads, one large and five small, on the neck of the corpse.

"Could this be a corpse-keeping coffin?" a waiter whispered.

"Corpse-raising coffin?" The people around him looked at him curiously. The guy didn't hide anything and directly told what he knew: "I also heard it from others. It is said that there is a special knowledge in Feng Shui called Corpse-raising Coffin. It is generally used in mountain tombs. It is said that in some ancient tombs, there will be two coffin positions with excellent Feng Shui. In such a situation, coffins must be placed in both positions, otherwise the sea and river spiritual energy gathered in the empty positions will attract some evil things. If a blood relative of the tomb owner is buried in this coffin, it can be considered as a corpse-raising burial, which is called nourishing qi in Feng Shui."

At this point, he recalled for a moment, and then continued, "I remember that to keep a corpse, you need two identical coffins. Let's go to the main tomb and take a look. If there is also a golden nanmu coffin inside, then it is most likely a corpse-keeping coffin."

"If you put it that way, it does make sense." One of the guys nodded slightly.

Because if that's the case, it would explain why there would be a golden nanmu coffin of this size in such an ear chamber.

"Could it be that the owner of this tomb stuffed his entire family in there before he died?" another guy said at this time.

As he spoke, he pointed to the body parts in the coffin.

The body parts were difficult to identify, but the arm was right in front of him, so he said that.

"What are you thinking about? If it's for the sake of nourishing your energy, then it's for the sake of future generations. How can you possibly take your entire family with you?"

"It's hard to say. The concept of blood relatives is still quite vague. In ancient times, there were many family members. It was possible to bury several nephews and nieces. Is this kind of thing uncommon in tombs?"

Listening to the discussions of the guys behind him, Chen Ziyan did not give an explanation immediately.

In other words, he already knew the inside story, otherwise he would probably think so too. After all, who would have thought that such a corpse was that of a human being?

After all the black water in the coffin was scooped out, the burial objects inside were revealed in full, the most conspicuous of which were several utensils next to the corpse.

Judging from the material, these should be jade artifacts. You can tell their value without even touching them.

However, Chen Ziyan was not very interested in these things. His attention was attracted by the things under the corpse.

It was a stone slab that covered the bottom of the coffin, with some blurry words engraved on it, but it could not be seen clearly because of the black water remaining on the bottom.

Chen Ziyan knew that if he wanted to see the writing on the stone slab clearly, he had to take the stone slab out. Otherwise, even without the obstruction of the black water, the corpse would block most of it and he would not be able to see the whole picture at all.

However, Chen Ziyan needed to think carefully about taking the corpse out. After seeing the corpse in the coffin, he had given up the idea of ​​using the corpse to make puppet armor.

The reason is simple: the body does not meet the standards.

Although the body was preserved well, it was still far from his standards. Chen Ziyan even seriously suspected that the body would fall apart after being taken out.

And the most important thing is whether any accidents will occur after the corpse leaves the coffin. This is the most important thing.

He did not forget that the origin of the corpse in front of him was not simple.

"This body... is a human?"

At this moment, a voice attracted Chen Ziyan's attention.

He thought that these people could not see the truth, or would not think in this direction in a short period of time, but he did not expect that someone would discover the clues so quickly.

However, after seeing who made the sound, Chen Ziyan felt that if it was her, it would not be unacceptable that she could discover the problem so quickly.

The person who discovered the clue was the always silent Dong Zhuohua.

Although Dong Zhuohua didn't say much, Chen Ziyan could see that Dong Yanxia was absolutely obedient to him, so he had high expectations of her.
