The Queen of Jingjue asked me to go rob a tomb

Chapter 134 Snake Slough
Holy shit! !
what is this! !
Seeing the front clearly, everyone's goosebumps exploded in an instant.

But after the thing poked its head out, it stopped there motionless.

what's the situation?
dead?

"Wait, that looks like a corpse!"

"No, no, it's a piece of skin!"

In short, it cannot be described with quantifiers.

Lu Zihan and Zhang Qiling looked at each other, and they walked forward together.

When I got closer, I saw that huge head was empty, like a snake's slough.

But looking back, it was a person's body.

Hit the flashlight on the huge head, and saw metallic black scales and translucent cuticles on the skin.

The facial features of the snake slough are very far apart, as if the eyes are on the forehead and the mouth is on the neck.

In other words, this is simply a snake face.

It's just that the lower body is humanoid!
"Did the man turn into a snake? Or did the snake turn into a man?"

It was not recognizable at all for a while.

After walking sideways into the half of Yumen, Lu Zihan discovered that this snake-headed monster was hung behind the door with iron chains.

The iron chain had been decayed and broken for a long time, which caused the weird scene just now.

"Come here! Die!"

Lu Zihan waved at Lao Hu and the three of them, and then walked over.

As soon as they arrived, the expressions of the three of them changed.

This thing looks really weird!

The state of the snake slough is very dry and old, and it must have been here for a long time.

Many scales are stuck to the wall, like snakeskin bags piled up, presenting the postures of various people, plus the traces of black gel-like substances sticking to each other, making people feel strongly evil.

What the hell is this?

Could it be that the snake-faced figurines at the bottom of the river are not the imagination of the craftsmen, but real?
Does the Snake Clan really have such an army?
But why was he tied behind Yumen again?
Everyone is full of doubts.

Suddenly Shirley Yang pointed to the front and shouted, "Look, what is that?"

Lu Zihan turned on the flashlight and found a dead body lying there.

"Let's go and have a look!"

When he got closer, he found that the corpse had completely decayed into dry bones, and only the head and sternum remained.

The rest, but do not know where.

Lu Zihan frowned and said, "This man was sentenced to death."

Shirley Yang was puzzled, "How do you know it wasn't taken away by other things?"

Lu Zihan pointed to several places and said, "Look carefully, the place where the spine is broken, the incision is smooth, obviously cut by a sharp weapon, but I'm not sure whether he was sentenced to death during his lifetime or was maliciously destroyed after his death. "

At this time, Hu Bayi suddenly let out a surprise, and then saw that his face became ugly.

"What's the matter, old Hu?"

Hu Bayi swallowed his saliva and said, "You say... will this person's lower body be there!"

Following the direction of Hu Bayi's finger, everyone's eyes fell on the snake-faced monster in front of Yumen again.

He looked at the lower half of the body, and then at the upper half of the skeleton on the ground.

The atmosphere instantly became weird.

Shirley Yang said, "How is this possible? Is the grafting experiment between humans and snakes crazy?"

The fat man snorted coldly, "How is that impossible? We've seen a big radish grow with hands and heads!"

Hu Ba nodded. The last time they witnessed the human body grafting experiment under the Kwantung Army Fortress.

There are all kinds of things, and there are all kinds of them.

It still feels like a nightmare.

"Old Lu, do you think this is similar to the laboratory under the Kwantung Army Fortress?"

Lu Zihan murmured slightly, "Everything is just speculation now, no matter what, since we are here, let's look ahead!"

"it is good!"

Everyone continued to walk forward.

Soon, another skeleton was found.

Also no lower body.

For a moment, the hearts of several people became more and more uneasy.

I really can't figure out why none of these corpses have a lower body, and they are thrown on the ground at random.

But no matter how you look at it, you don't want to die in a burial pit.

Shirley Yang said, "I know that slaves in ancient times were not as noble as cattle and sheep, so they were usually buried carelessly."

Hu Bayi shook his head, "Do you know why there is a burial pit? Even if you are sloppy, there must be a pit! There is no way to throw it on the ground."

Shirley Yang thought for a while and said, "Could these be craftsmen at that time? Because they were found digging holes to escape, they were killed here directly."

Hu Ba nodded, "It's not impossible."

Hearing the two of them going back and forth, the fat man said annoyedly, "Why do you care so much? Anyway, we didn't come here to do archaeology, so we don't need to study these things!"

The farther you go, the more corpses there are.

But all of them are the bones of the upper half of the corpse.

It's really far away from Dapu!

It stands to reason that even if it is cut in half, there must be a lower body, right?
Could it be that the lower body has been specially collected?

This snake emperor has lower body collection addiction?

I can't understand it!

The further you go, the more corpses there are.

A group of people even need to step on the thick pile of bones to move forward.

[Qin Shihuang: Ignorance!brutal!Short-sighted people in the Western Regions! 】

Hearing Ying Zheng's angry scolding, Lu Zihan also smiled.

In fact, at the end of primitive society, the system of burial of living people had already appeared in China.

In the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the system of burial of living people reached its peak.

It has been recorded that in the tombs of the nobles of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there are traces of the burial of living people, and the scale is very large.

There are hundreds of people at least, and thousands of people at most.

More than 5000 martyrs were found in the large tomb of the Shang Dynasty in Wuguan Village, Anyang.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although the phenomenon of burial of living people still existed, the scale gradually decreased.

In 384 BC, Qin Xiangong, the monarch of the Qin State, did a very remarkable thing: he declared "stop obeying death", and abolished the burial system of living people that had been implemented in Qin State for more than 300 years.

Later, Qin Shihuang succeeded to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He continued to implement the practice handed down by Qin Xiangong, and no longer restored the system of burial of living people.

After his death, he set an example by using terracotta warriors instead of living people to be buried.

From this point of view, Lu Zihan admired Ying Zheng.

You must know that with the authority and influence of Qin Shihuang at that time, it was a breeze to use living people to be buried.

But Qin Shihuang did not do this.

Because he is a wise man, he knows that the burial of a large number of living people will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in population, which will greatly reduce the manpower invested in economic and social construction and military warfare.

Qin Shihuang had already felt the huge impact of underpopulation in the process of unifying the six countries.

Therefore, he actively developed the population, made full use of land and population resources, and through the construction of Dujiangyan and Zhengguo Canal, the Guanzhong Plain and Chengdu Plain became the granaries of the Qin State.

Therefore, when Qin Shihuang launched the unification war in 230 BC, the land and population of Qin State were already equivalent to the sum of the six countries.

Regrettably, despite Qin Shihuang's repeated orders before his death, the burial of living people is prohibited.

But after his death, Qin II Hu Hai still ordered more than 1 unborn concubines and maids in the harem to be buried for Qin Shihuang.

It has to be said that it is difficult for Qin to survive in the hands of a fool like Hu Hai!
"Damn it, this old man from the snake tribe is too cruel! Is it interesting to have so many funerals? Didn't the fat man find his lair!"

"No, I'll pull the emperor's old man's body out of the coffin later and throw it directly into the stinky ditch."

The fat man cursed and made everyone laugh.

At this time Zhang Qiling suddenly said lightly, "Here we are!"
