Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Fuck!

I'm a tomb robber, not a corpse carrier!

It's reasonable to let me dig the grave.

Carrying the corpse is too much to ask.

What's more, the soil mixed with blood is very sticky.

It is not easy to dig out the body intact.

How could it be possible to get up quickly?

"Uncle Chen!"

I called Uncle Chen to ask if there would be any consequences if the body was damaged.

If it doesn't affect me, I'll just use my shovel to dig.

When the time comes, just put your body, arms and legs together, put them in the bag, and let them pull it up. That's it.

But I shouted, but heard no response.

"Uncle Chen! Uncle Chen!" I looked up and shouted twice.

Still no response.

This is strange.

Uncle Chen was clearly standing by the pit and talking to me just now.

Even the burning ashes of the talisman floated down to the bottom of the pit.

How could such a living person just disappear?

Could it be that the ghostly female spirit flew out and attacked them?!

Suddenly a cool breeze blew from behind me.

I dug for a long time and was sweating all over. I couldn't help but shiver when the cool wind blew.

hiss!

Could this wind be...

I slowly turned my head and looked behind me.

Behind him was only the wall of a newly dug pit, but no strange things.

I patted my chest.

Don't scare yourself.

Let’s think about what to do now.

Uncle Chen didn't respond, which meant that the people above might have had an accident.

There was no way I could expect them to pull me up.

But I dug all the way down and didn't let them lower a rope, so it's difficult to climb up now.

Because the soil is too soft, I can't exert any strength at all.

Unless a path is dug diagonally upwards.

But Uncle Chen said that if we were slow, we wouldn’t be able to get up... and there would definitely not be time to dig a path out.

Forget it, let’s dig up the body first.

Let's see what's going on with this bloody corpse.

Having made up my mind, I cleaned the dirt along the corpse's arm.

Soon most of the arm was cleared out, revealing part of the lower back of the corpse.

That’s right, it’s the defensive midfielder!

Put your arms on your lower back!

Instead of pressing on your stomach!

This indicates that the body was not lying in the pit in a supine position.

Instead, he lay in the pit in a prone position!

Her hands were behind her back!

This posture is too weird.

In a normal burial, the person lies on their back in the coffin.

Even if straw mats were used to bury people in mass graves, the bodies were buried lying on their backs.

In fact, during the tomb robbery process later.

I have also come across some corpses buried in the prone position.

But that is mainly the burial style found in the Shang Dynasty and even earlier relics and tombs.

Since the Zhou Dynasty replaced the Shang Dynasty, prone burial disappeared in the long river of history and was completely replaced by supine burial.

The prone burial only occurs in special circumstances such as killing prisoners or performing witchcraft.

Later, some scholars studied the prone burial style.

Those who proposed prone burial died of "unnatural death".

The ancients buried the dead face down in a prone position to prevent corpse transformation. It was a method of exorcism and worship.

The art of exorcism and worship originated from witchcraft.

Yan means to suppress.

Impeachment means to expel.

The temple is for praying to ancestors.

The purpose of exorcism is to ward off evil.

The combination of Yan, He and Ci is a witchcraft act to seek the protection of ancestors and suppress and drive away evil spirits.

If we use these to explain the corpse in front of us, it seems to make sense.

The master who set up the Feng Shui plan was afraid that the ghost of the female corpse would linger.

So they used the prone burial method to suppress her wronged soul.

Uncle Chen had previously said that Ye Han had asked someone to perform a ritual to ask the ghost of the female ghost to leave.

Not only did he not invite anyone.

It also seriously injured that person's vitality.

The reluctance of wronged souls to leave may have a lot to do with the burial in a prone position.

Her soul was suppressed here.

Of course I can't leave.

Only by digging out the body and taking it away can her wronged soul be released.

Figure this out.

I finally understood why Uncle Chen insisted that I carry the body up.

"Uncle Chen, you are such a jerk!"

"Once we get there, I'll make sure you teach me all your Feng Shui skills..."

I complained a few words.

Continue to clean the dirt off the body.

After cleaning around the body, I finally managed to identify its outline.

The body was about 1.5 meters tall.

Wearing a blood-red cheongsam.

I don’t know if it was originally blood red or if it was stained red by the blood oozing from the skin of the corpse.

Her hands were tied behind her back with red rope.

His feet and knees were also tied with red ropes.

But her face was buried in the dirt, so I couldn't see her features.

Next up is the corpse.

Generally speaking, people who are buried cannot be moved lightly.

If the grave is to be moved or the coffin is to be opened for an autopsy, a ritual is usually performed first to appease the deceased's soul.

But the conditions are not there right now.

I had no choice but to get up from the dead body.

"Sister, I have no choice but to disturb your rest."

"I know you died unjustly."

"You were buried in a bad feng shui location. It must be unpleasant to be tortured by the evil spirit every day."

"Removing your body will break the feng shui situation. It will both free you and vent your anger."

"I'll also have Uncle Chen find a good Feng Shui site for your burial..."

I muttered something to myself.

Seeing that nothing unusual happened, he mustered up the courage to raise the corpse.

I grabbed the corpse's shoulders and tried to lift it up.

But the soil was too sticky and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move it.

It seems that the only way to pry it out is to use a shovel.

"Excuse me, I have to use the shovel."

"I'll try to be careful not to damage your body."

"Please forgive me if there are any bumps or injuries."

After muttering a few more words, I placed the shovel head diagonally under the corpse's shoulder.

Then push the shovel hard.

puff!

The shovel was dug deep into the soil against my shoulder.

After most of the shovel handle was submerged in the soil, I pried the shovel upward with force.

As he exerted force, the upper body of the corpse began to move.

Lift your shoulders, neck, and head a little.

"Hey!" I pushed again.

The upper body was pried up about 30 degrees, but it could not be moved anymore.

I tried adjusting the angle of the shovel and prying twice more.

But no matter how hard they pried, after the upper body of the corpse was raised about 30 degrees, the waist area began to resist.

Is there something on your waist?

But I just saw the lower back of the body.

There was nothing tied around the back of his waist, only his hands were tied behind his back.

I pondered this while looking at the lower back of the corpse.

Could it be that there is something strange on the eyes of the waistband that is blocked by his hands?

I pulled back the shovel.

Use a shovel to push the tied hands.

As his hands pushed upwards little by little, the lower back of the corpse was exposed.

A golden nail head caught my eye.

The nail head, which is half the size of a palm, sparkles with golden light and looks very dazzling.

But then my scalp started tingling.

The nail head is on the hole in the lower back, so the nail must... be driven into the corpse through the hole in the lower back and into the soil!

No wonder we couldn't pry the body open no matter what we did.

It turns out the body was nailed down!

To get back to the corpse, you must first pull out this golden nail.

I moved to the lower back of the corpse and looked closely at the nail head.

The gold color is very bright, it may be pure gold.

At least it's plated with pure gold.

It seems that the gambling king's family has invested a lot of money in setting up a feng shui plan.

On the smooth nail head, two lines of words were faintly engraved.

The nails can suppress evil spirits, and anyone who takes the nails will die!!!
