Chapter 419 A hundred-year-old corpse
Brother Yu was very strong and kicked a big hole in the blue brick wall with both feet.
Under the flashlight, the tiny dust drifted like particles.
The next second, Xiaoxuan's eyes showed horror and she covered her mouth.
At this moment, half of the head was exposed in the ancient corpse in the wall, and the hair that was so dry that it was not shining was like a rotten mop.
Brother Yu kicked him again.
As the front brick wall collapsed, a complete ancient corpse was exposed.
The space is narrow, and we and the ancient corpse are almost face to face. It is impossible to say that we don’t feel anything in our hearts.
Douyazi held up the flashlight. He leaned closer and looked at it, shivered and said, "This master seems to be looking at us squintly."
Douyazi said that he wanted to touch it.
He kicked his head on his calf.
"Don't move around, this ancient corpse is unknown. What if there is poison in the body?"
Douyazi swallowed, but didn't dare to return it.
He took out the shovel handle from the bag and slowly lifted up the long hair of the ancient corpse.
I saw that not only the hair was still there, but even the eyebrows were intact. The ancient corpse had his eyes closed and his mouth closed. There was a circle of white cream around his black lips. His skin did not shrink significantly. His whole face turned black and blue under the light.
I frowned and said, "In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, this man was about forty years old when he died. He seemed to have been killed by someone."
"Fengzi, what you said is equivalent to not saying it. It must have been killed by someone, otherwise how could it be sealed in the wall?" Dou Yazai said.
I kicked it lightly with my feet.
He was hard all over, as if he was kicking a stone.
As I said in the head, the main reason why this ancient corpse stood in the wall in this posture was that there was a stick behind it, and the stick was hidden under the clothes. I held up the flashlight and could see it from the side. It was a stick with a forked front end, which directly stuck its waist.
I whispered, "Put your head, I see that the color of this person's skin is not like a frozen corpse, why is it a bit like a frozen corpse?"
"Yunfeng, have you ever seen such a hard corpse woven?"
"No, so I feel something is wrong. Did it be poisoned to death during my lifetime?" I said.
"What kind of corpse is not the point, the point is why this person was sealed here? I'm looking for something else in the wall." said Shun.
We searched carefully and found a worn-out cloth bag in the corner, pressed under the bricks.
Douyazi reached out and tried to pull it out, but it broke with a little force.
Remove all the bricks and we got the bag.
The bag contained something, and Douyaozi shook off the bag and poured the thing inside to the ground.
I saw a rusty knife, a bamboo fire fold with a white cloth strip on one end. This looked like the style of a hundred years ago. Now there is basically no need for this kind of bamboo tube fire fold that is not sealed. The key is that there is also a round wooden box.
The wooden box is in the form of a lock, and I opened it with curiosity to see it.
It turned out to be a compass.
"Strange..., what kind of plate is this?"
This is the first time I have seen such a compass.
The fine copper carved, a large bag bulged in the middle, buckled with a transparent shell, and the magnetic needles are sealed inside. The key is that there is still water. With a slight wave, the water can flood the magnetic needle.
He exclaimed, and he looked at the compass, then at the motionless ancient corpse, frowned and said, "Shui Compass, this person is an insider."
"Water compass? Head, do you mean... is it from the same industry as ours?"
"Yes, not wrong, it must be... Yunfeng, the water compass is more accurate in the sea than the Sanyuan Pan, and is specially used to find ancient shipwrecks and water caves. I guess this person is probably from the Southern School in the past, and it may be a pot. It is from the same era as your master."
"ah?"
"If he had been an unknown pot from the Southern School a hundred years ago, how could he die here?" I said.
Brother Yu guessed: "Will someone be harmed by being black and black back then? The person who attacked him later was afraid of being discovered, so he hid the body in the wall."
Douyazai retorted: "No, right? Brother Yu, if you are black, it will not be so troublesome, why do you build a wall? Just find a place to bury it, or burn it, which is easier than doing this."
Xiaoxuan expressed her opinion: "I think I've been piling? It looks a bit like this."
"You said you should get rid of the stake?" I looked at Xiaoxuan.
Xiaoxuan nodded: "My father would sometimes do this when he was working with people in his early years, knocking people out and building them in the wall, or sealing them directly with cement."
I shook my head and said, "It still doesn't make sense. There is no point in making a living stake in this ghost place. I don't do any project here. It's been more than a hundred years. We may be the first to find it here."
The identity and cause of death of this ancient corpse have caused us to suspect. How did it find it here back then? What was its purpose? Is it the same purpose as us? Are there anyone else here?
Dou Yazai said: "No matter what the reason, this Southern Sect is not very capable, and there is not even a person who collects the body. If we hadn't discovered it, it might have to be a popsicle in the wall for a hundred years."
Brother Yu clasped his hands at the ancient corpse with his head down and said, "Amitabha, Yazi, don't say such things, people have been dead for so many years. Since we have discovered it, then we will help with the burial of the corpse, after all, they are also considered as fellow travelers."
Douyazi raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the same thing? Brother Yu, are you pretending to be compassionate again? He said it was from the Southern School, and we are from the Northern School. We are from the wrong way. We are still buried? Let's take it down quickly."
"Stop quarrel, Yunfeng, show me the compass."
I picked up the "water compass" beside me and handed it to my head.
"The flashlights are turned off."
"Switch off the flashlight?"
Say your head right.
Although we didn't understand the meaning of the head, we did it.
As soon as the flashlight was turned off, the surrounding area fell into darkness, the kind of blackness that was not light at all. Xiaoxuan was next to me, and I couldn't see her.
When I saw it, a faint "green light" suddenly appeared.
It was the green light emitted from the water compass on the head and hand. Although it was very weak, it was particularly clear at this moment.
It should be that the magnetic needle has a luminous function. I speculate that this kind of Nanpai disk is for the convenience of finding a shipwreck in the sea or digging a hole for water.
The "green light" is gradually setting a distance from us.
This means that you are holding the head back with the plate.
In the darkness, Xiaoxuan grabbed my right hand.
After a while, the "green light" approached us again, and the sound of his head said, "Open the light."
We quickly turned on the flashlight.
Douyazai whispered and quickly retreated. He was very close to the ancient corpse and almost looked close to him.
He walked over with a water compass on his head, stopped in front of the ancient corpse, looked at it, frowned and asked, "Senior Nanpai's pot, what is your purpose after you made this Feng Shui bureau."
"Feng Shui Bureau? What Feng Shui Bureau?" I asked.
He turned his head and said, "Yunfeng, if I guess correctly, the semi-formed faucet shape at the entrance of the cave was chiseled by this Nanpai branch pot back then. Do you know what this is called?"
I was shocked and shook my head and said I didn't know.
He pointed his head at his feet and said with a serious expression: "There is a dragon head outside. This long deep cave can be seen as a dragon's body, and this square brick wall can be seen as a shackle."
