This is probably the only conclusion.
A few of us gathered around the coffin and looked at each other.
"What should we do if our ancestors come back alive?" The fourth uncle turned to look at Chen Yulin.
Chen Yulin swallowed and continued to look at the old man in the coffin, feeling terrified.
"Then, then...this...I think that after he is reborn, he will also recognize me as the descendant of the Chen family."
Chen Yulin looked at Chen Guangge again. After all, Chen Guangge could be considered a descendant of the Chen family. If the old man came back alive, he would probably be called his ancestor. This matter is also closely related to him.
"I think that if the old man really comes back alive, let alone anything else, the magic of extending his life for hundreds of years will be shocking. If you and I can get some advantages, that would be the best. "
At this moment, all of us are staring at the old man in the coffin, and we all feel that he can come back to life.
But just staring like this, watching the old man's chest rise and fall, and then there was a slight movement, until a bulge suddenly appeared on the old man's throat. Then, the old man's mouth opened slightly!
Chen Yulin and Chen Guangge looked at each other, then he gritted his teeth and boldly stretched out his hand to gently touch the breath of the ancestor of the Chen family.
The moment Chen Yulin's hand touched it, he felt something like an electric shock and suddenly withdrew his hand.
"Ah..." Chen Yulin was shocked, "He is actually breathing. He is... exhaling. He is coming to life!"
I was shocked and extremely frightened.
The old man in the coffin who died hundreds of years ago is really going to live!
A group of us stared in disbelief, and then we saw a slight movement on the old man's lips, like a patient with weak breath, making a soft sound.
"Ho ho... ho..."
The old man's mouth seemed to be exhaling gently. The sound was not strong, but it looked like he was using all his strength to speak.
Chen Yulin looked frightened and spoke tentatively: "Old... ancestor? You, are you alive?"
The old man in the coffin didn't answer him, but softly uttered "ho...ho" from time to time.
At this time, Chen Guangge became bold and slowly stretched out his hand.
"Ancestor...you, are you really alive?"
The old man said nothing, and Chen Guangge's hand directly pressed on the old man's forehead.
The moment the palm pressed up, Chen Guangge's expression changed.
"The body is still cold."
As soon as these words came out, I became suspicious again.
If a person's body is hot, even if he is asleep, he will most likely not be dead, but if there is no heat, then he may not be alive.
The fourth uncle's face was stern, and he gently stretched out two fingers and pressed them directly on the old man's chest.
"There is no movement in the chest."
The fourth uncle changed his hand to grab the wrist of the old man's corpse.
"What do I think is going on? Don't be too nervous. There should be some unknown phenomena happening to this corpse." The fourth uncle took a breath and told us that the old man had no heartbeat or pulse. There was absolutely no hope of death. Come alive.
"I have never seen a corpse that has not decayed for hundreds of years. I am afraid that because the corpse has been around for a long time, the air pressure in the coffin is different from that in the outside world. As a result, the air pressure inside the corpse is also different. Same. So after we open the coffin, the air pressure in the abdominal cavity of the corpse is discharged, causing the chest to move."
The fourth uncle speculated that, in this way, there would be a reasonable explanation for the "ho...ho" sound coming from the corpse's mouth just now.
We breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and everyone was in false alarm.
After all, the first generation ancestor of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town was from the Ming Dynasty. Now, hundreds of years have passed, and it would be big news if he really came back alive.
We waited here calmly for about a minute, and the old man in the coffin could still make "ho...ho" sounds from time to time.
It's so strange. I don't know where this old man got so much anger in his stomach?
Chen Guangge looked around, spread his hands and said, "Now that the mystery has been revealed, let's not waste time waiting here. Everyone, take out the bodies in the coffins. The souls of our ancestors have just said from time to time that we The way out is under his ass, right?”
We all nodded. Chen Yulin and Chen Guangge stood on both sides of the coffin. After all, they were the descendants of the old man in the coffin. It was reasonable for them to come out to carry the body.
But just when the two of them put their hands on both sides of the old man's body and were about to grab his arms and legs, something suddenly happened!
The old man's mouth suddenly opened, and the muscles on his face bulged.
When the two Chen family members saw this, they thought that their rash actions had disturbed their ancestor's sleep, and they suddenly put down their hands.
Just as Chen Yulin was about to speak, he saw a large white insect with a hint of blood crawling out of the old man's mouth. This insect even has a pair of wavy wings that are translucent, no! This is a huge white cicada!
We all opened our eyes wide and couldn't believe the magical bug in front of us. It felt like it was a piece of oral ornament carved from suet jade. It was originally stuffed in the mouth of the dead body. We didn't know why it suddenly moved. !
What a magical big cicada!
I was stunned, and then I heard Liu Ruxiang whisper: "I didn't see the true face of this thing just now. Even I was almost frightened. I didn't expect it to be a rare white wax cicada!"
Liu Ruxiang recalled the saying in the ancient book and continued: "The legend is that the eggs laid by ordinary cicadas were not in tree trunks and soil, but in the hands of some Gu masters who studied black magic, and accidentally put the corpses of their servants into it." Among the prepared fats.”
"The larvae of this cicada survive in human fat for about a year, and are then cultivated using various secret methods, and then stuffed into the body of a dying person. The white wax cicada can stay in the human body all the time. Secretes a magical oil that ensures that the human body will not decay for thousands of years!”
When Liu Ruxiang said this, everyone's eyes widened and stared at the big white cicada.
"The cicada has been dormant in the human body for hundreds of years. It has never died. It is a miracle that it can crawl out one day."
When Liu Ruxiang said this, everyone sighed.
Chen Yulin gritted his teeth with hatred and beat the wooden board on one side of the coffin.
"What a great trick, we actually fooled a lot of us into thinking that our ancestors from hundreds of years ago were resurrected."
At this time, the truth was revealed, and I heard Liu Ruxiang share this knowledge. I suddenly felt that this trip was worthwhile and that I had seen the world.
"The cultivation method of this white wax cicada has been lost in ancient times. I never thought that we would be able to see it one day. This is worth it."
Liu Ruxiang sighed softly and took out an empty porcelain bottle from the wooden box in her arms.
"Keeping this thing can be regarded as a rare thing." Before Chen Yulin could take action, Liu Ruxiang quickly pinched the white wax cicada on her fingertips.
The body of this white wax cicada was not small. In Liu Ruxiang's hands, it seemed that she had foreseen the danger. She quickly vibrated her wings, and her legs, feet and mouthparts struggled for a while.
"Ho-ho-"
The cry of the white wax cicada is different from the sound of the normal cicada. Now it sounds exactly the same as the sound that came out of the old man's mouth just now. It's ridiculous that we thought it was the old man's corpse making the sound.
Liu Ruxiang gently caught the white wax cicada in her hand, and Chen Yulin looked at it with hot eyes: "Miss Chen family, this, this white wax cicada..."
Chen Yulin wanted to say that the White Wax Chan Master and his two tigers belonged to the Chen family, and he couldn't bear to let Liu Ruxiang take it.
Liu Ruxiang stared at the white wax cicada with all her attention, and saw that its tiny breath suddenly stretched out and shook, and then the body immediately disappeared and died.
As expected, the White Wax Cicada is at most just a magical insect that was cultivated using secret methods. Even if it has magical effects, it can only live in the body of a corpse in a coffin for hundreds of years. What else can it do? It was a lucky day to see the light of day again.
The white wax cicada made no movement, Liu Ruxiang sighed, and then put the thing into a porcelain bottle.
"I think this thing is very strange." Liu Ruxiang smiled.
When Chen Yulin saw that this thing was dead, he immediately lost interest.
"Then take it, Miss Liu. It's a rare thing, and it's great to keep it to educate your friends." Chen Yulin didn't mind being generous, after all, dead bugs are of no use.
The two members of the Chen family continued to move the corpse of their ancestor in the coffin.
The old man's body was already showing symptoms of slight dehydration, and he was already very thin. Although the two of them were not very strong, they were able to lift him up with a little effort.
After lifting the old man's body, everyone saw that there was a small hidden compartment under the coffin. Chen Yulin took a rope and tied a small latch on it, and asked us all to step back and carefully open the hidden compartment. See that there is another world.
There are a lot of shiny things hidden in this secret compartment, a lot of them. There are also a bunch of shining glass pearls and some booklets made of paper.
This is compared to the method of escaping from death that the ancestors of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town said.
The amount of gold leaves was not large, it was estimated that it would only be enough for a pair of bracelets, so naturally no one went to compete with Chen Yulin.
After all, this is the ancestral tomb of the Chen family. Chen Guangge obviously doesn't like Chen Guangge because he has a lot of airs, and those colored glazes are even less valuable.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the booklet. After unfolding it, they saw that it was filled with ancient Zhuang folk characters.
An embarrassed look appeared on Chen Yulin's face.
"Please also ask the master of the Liu family to help take a look."
