Chapter 1533
"Head, take a look at what this is."
He took his head and looked at it and said: "This should be the water system of the Liao and Jin Dynasties. This is a component of the water system. There is a similar one in the Henan Museum."
It dawned on me.
The water system is an ancient fire truck. This thing is installed on the water tank. As long as you turn it, the water pipe will flow. It's a rare thing to have experienced.
Next, the funerary objects were fished out from the black mud one after another, including sword hilts, sword grids, and small bronze crossbows.
When we didn't talk, the tomb was eerily quiet.
Suddenly, my hand touched someone's nose.
Press it down, it’s soft and the skin is still elastic!
I jerked my hand away.
"Head! The corpse is not rotten yet! It's a wet corpse!"
"Wet corpse?"
"How is it possible? There is no body here."
"Yes! There must be!"
"I just touched it! If you don't believe me, touch your head!"
He brought his head to me and tried it. His face looked ugly, and he nodded and said, "It's a wet corpse."
We took out the body of the tomb owner, and were shocked to find that it was only half of the body...
This ancient corpse was that of a male. The lower half of the body was missing. From the waist up, it was tightly wrapped with a circle of copper sheets, like a bust sculpture, but it must have been a living person before.
When the flashlight shone down, we could see that the wet corpse of a male had long hair, no teeth, a painful expression, and a slightly open mouth. When he moved his head and moved his hands, he found that the arm joints were still very flexible.
The face of this male corpse was like old bacon that had been fried in oil. It was so disgusting that it was impossible to look at it.
After all, Ah Chun saw that there were not many of these kinds of things. She covered her mouth and wanted to vomit, then she suddenly raised her head and said: "Ah Chun, Xiaoxuan, you guys take a few steps back and don't come over again."
Wet corpses are rare in the north and occasionally seen in the south.
In the past, there was an old saying in the industry that when a man sees a female corpse, he must bow three times to make fortune, while a woman should take five steps back when she sees a male corpse, otherwise she will get strange diseases.
"Boss, has this man been chopped in half before? But why is he covered with copper?"
He raised his head with a flashlight and frowned and said: "It doesn't look like it was cut in half... If it was cut in half, even if the embalming technology was good, the body would not be preserved, let alone a wet corpse."
He bowed his head three times and said, "Excuse me for disturbing your rest. To make a fortune, give me the knife."
I hurriedly handed it over.
He took the knife with his head and inserted it directly into the mouth of the wet corpse. With an upward force, he opened the mandible of the corpse.
I immediately saw that the wet corpse was biting something that looked like white jade.
Douyazai said excitedly: "Hankou Jade!"
"I'll take the lead!"
I put my two fingers together and slowly inserted them into Shizi's mouth, like chopsticks, to take out what was in his mouth.
Dou Sprouts said it was a jade in the mouth, but that is not true. This kind of thing is called "tongue pressing".
After the death of ordinary people in ancient times, the tongue depressor was usually worth a copper coin. After the death of princes and nobles, the tongue depressor was of various kinds, including small gold bars, silver cakes, glass beads, etc. The most famous tongue depressor of Cixi in the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty is said to be a A luminous pearl that glows green all year round.
The scientific theory of tongue pressing is that the face will collapse after death. If you hold something in your mouth, it will bulge up and look good. The superstitious theory is that if you hold gold, silver and jade in your mouth, you will bribe ghosts and use them, so you will suffer less torture.
From my experience, if there is tongue depressing, there will usually be gang congestion.
The butt plugs of male corpses are all cylindrical, and those of female corpses are triangular.
If seven orifices appear on a corpse at the same time, then the person was either a first-rank official or a relative of the emperor.
In addition to tongue depressors and ganggauges, the seven orifice plugs also include Ming towel (a towel to cover the face), eye-closed eyes, eye stuffing, jade enthalpy, and eye lids, a total of seven items.
