The Queen of Jingjue asked me to go rob a tomb

Chapter 111 Lunar Eclipse
The jaws of the giant whale fossil were half-opened and half-closed, and the corpses of five fishermen were wrapped inside.

Hu Bayi couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Could it be that this is a whalebone coffin?"

Lu Zihan nodded, it's very possible.

Shining the searchlight deep, it seems that there are some funeral objects.

Lu Zihan didn't intend to disturb at first, but when he thought that he might find some clues inside, he leaned forward and got into the whale's mouth.

Hu Bayi also wanted to see clearly, so he turned on the flashlight and followed into the whale bone tomb.

Five fishermen lay peacefully in it.

I squatted down and took a picture with the flashlight, and found that most of the clothes on the corpse had been turned into dust, only the body of the female corpse was covered with a thin mattress.

It can't be seen what material it is made of, and it hasn't decayed for thousands of years.

In addition, the strangest thing is that these fishermen are covered with a thick layer of shining scales.

It's like a dragon skin!
Except for the heads of the five corpses, they were all covered tightly with a piece of dragon skin.

But the moisture in the corpse was suppressed by Nanzhu, so it didn't rot.

In addition, no other clues were found on the corpse. Lu Zihan waved his hand, and the two of them prepared to walk deep into the whale bone tomb.

at this time,

"Qiang~"

The sound of a sharp blade cutting metal sounded behind itself.

The two looked back, and saw the fat man holding a fish-chopping knife across the dragon skin on the arm of one of the corpses.

Hu Bayi scolded angrily, "You fat man is messing around again, what are you doing stabbing an ancient corpse with a knife?"

The fat man said, "I'll test it out and see if it will cheat the corpse."

Hu Bayi said unhappily, "You fucking worry about it. This Nanlong's hole is full of anger, which I have never seen before in my life. These fishermen are about to petrify, and they won't turn into corpses again."

"That's it!" The fat man scratched his head with a laugh.

Lu Zihan smiled and didn't care. He turned his head and scanned the whale bone tomb with a flashlight, and found that there were quite a lot of funerary objects inside.

Numerous sacrificial objects and the remains of various aquatic species are superimposed on each other and distributed in a rectangular shape in the tomb.

But these funerary objects are very old.

They are all altars, jars and jade plate tortoise shells. The materials are not porcelain or wood, and they are all things from the sea.

For example, the thousand-year sea iron and the ten-thousand-year coral reef.

Each piece is beyond imagination and unique.

Lu Zihan would not touch the tomb owner's body, but these treasures would not be let go.

As soon as he raised his hand, all of them were collected into the Qiankun ring.

At this time, a faint light lit up in the corner of the tomb.

Lu Zihan stepped forward to check, and it turned out to be a bronze tripod with a strange shape.

But it is a tripod, but it is somewhat different.

This thing has a huge belly divided into eight sides, nine legs underneath, and a height of half a meter.

Such a height is really hard to call a tripod.

More like a large copper gui.

Look at the nine-legged copper gui, although it has been close to the water for thousands of years, its copper properties have not diminished at all.

If you look carefully, you can see the pattern of sea beasts on it, and the astrology of dragon fish on all sides.

Lu Zihan knew that the tripod has always been used to record events, so he leaned over to take a closer look.

Sure enough, there are dark marks on all sides of the belly of the tripod.

Presumably those grooves were once inlaid with gold wires, but the gold faded over time, forming pieces of sunken engravings.

Lu Zihan examined it carefully and found that it depicted the worship of the moon by the ancient Dan people.

After the clansmen died, they built their tombs on the bottom of the sea, with the doors of the tomb facing the sky, as a symbol of their souls flying to the moon.

After reading all the engravings, Lu Zihan roughly knew the identities of the five fishermen outside.

They turned out to be the head of the Dan people's family. Because of some strange disease, they died suddenly overnight and were buried here by the tribe.

I looked around and saw nothing else.

Lu Zihan raised his hand and put the copper gui into the Qiankun ring, then turned and walked outside the tomb.

exit,
Old Hu and Fatty were squatting next to a dead body, and they didn't know what to do.

Lu Zihan walked over to take a look, and immediately frowned.

It turned out that under the thin mattress, the female fisherman's belly was cut open.

The formed fetus in the stomach, at least eight or nine months old, was gouged out and placed on the open stomach of the female corpse.

The dead baby didn't seem to have been dealt with, but with the help of the best Nanzhu in the mother's body, the body is still there.

The fat man scolded angrily, "This is the unconscionable tomb owner who buried a pregnant woman with him and even dug the child out of his stomach. It's too abominable!"

Lu Zihan shook his head, "No!"

The fat man asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Zihan told the two of them about finding the engraving of the tomb owner inside.

According to the engraving, among the five corpses, the oldest is the patriarch, the other three are his sons, and the only woman is the patriarch's daughter-in-law.

No matter how cruel the king is in this world, he will not take his son, daughter-in-law and grandson as funerals!

The fat man didn't understand, "Then what's going on?"

"Old Hu, did your sixteen-character Feng Shui book mention this kind of situation?"

Hu Bayi pondered and continued, "In the past, among the tomb robbers who carried corpses, there was a rumor that there was a fetus ghost, saying that the owner of the tomb deliberately hid the unjustly killed fetus in the tomb.

Any tomb thief who steals the artifacts in the tomb or damages the tomb owner's body will be entangled by imps and will not live in peace day and night. "

The fat man was startled, "Old Hu, you mean this Danren raises little ghosts in the tomb?"

Hu Bayi shook his head, "I'm just guessing, and Lao Lu said just now that the fetus is the patriarch's grandson, so there's no reason to bury the grandson with him."

Moreover.

Hu Bayi looked back at this cave and said, "How can there be such a magic in such a fairy cave!"

The fat man curled his lips, "This mother is not evil enough, even the less than half-month-old fetus was dug out, and her hands and feet were broken!"

Broke limbs?
Lu Zihan quickly squatted down and brought the flashlight closer.

Suddenly, he noticed something was wrong.

"Fatty Hu, look, the baby's hands and feet don't seem to have been brutally amputated, it should be..."

"Born with deformities!"

Lu Zihan and Hu Bayi shouted four words in unison.

The fat man was taken aback, congenital deformity?

So I got closer and took a closer look.

Sure enough, the human hand, which was as small as a mouse's paw, failed to grow together with the rest of the body for unknown reasons.

Deformed indeed.

"But this can't just be dug out of the baby's stomach just because the baby is deformed!"

"wrong!"

Hu Bayi shook his head and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"This probably has something to do with the ancient lunar eclipse!"

lunar eclipse?

Ah!
Hu Bayi explained, "There has been a legend since ancient times that pregnant women cannot see a lunar eclipse. Once they see it, the fetus in the womb will have deformed limbs after birth."

It sounds unbelievable, but it is indeed something that even modern science and technology cannot explain.

Nine out of ten babies born to pregnant women who have seen a lunar eclipse are deformed and disabled, and the proportion is incomprehensibly high.

In ancient concepts, a lunar eclipse is also called a moon break.

At the moment when the moon breaks, the essence of the moon's yin is violated by the heaven and the earth, and those with fetal qi must feel it when they see it.

It can be seen from the engravings on the bronze door that Dan people have crazy beliefs in the moon.

The female Danren must have seen a lunar eclipse, causing the baby to be congenitally deformed.

At the same time, the terrible obsession made the patriarch think that their family had offended the gods of the Moon Palace and had been cursed.

That's why the baby was cruelly dug out from the woman's stomach. In order not to make the moon god condemn the whole clan, the patriarch's family was buried collectively.

After hearing this, the fat man yelled outrageous!

"This is really feudal superstition killing people! If it is true that worshiping the moon can fly to the Moon Palace, then why build rockets to land on the moon? Isn't the United States and the Soviet Union working so hard for so many years?"
