[Tomb Raiders Notes] The date has not been changed

I froze for a moment, and looked at the clothes in the coffin.

The "someone" mentioned by Poker Face should mean that there are corpses inside the clothes, but these clothes are placed here, but there is no human body exposed. If there is a real person inside the clothes, I am afraid it should be very young child.

All craftsmen in Daodou know a saying that little ghosts are often the most vicious, but there may not be any actual arguments for this statement, because people who have actually bumped into such little ghosts are basically dead.

There is no way to verify whether the statement is true or not, but I still remember that the big-headed corpses in Yunding Tiangong almost killed us all, and the corpses of boys and girls looked more evil than those of adults. Two or three big zongzi, and I don't want to meet the kid.

"Is there a dead child under the clothes?" I thought and asked. "Obviously adults can't hide under clothes like this."

Poker bottle shook his head, walked straight up, opened the bottom piece of clothing, and I saw that there was really a female corpse under the clothes.

The female corpse was small and curled up in a strange posture. The corpse was also well preserved, so I could recognize that it was indeed the body of an adult woman.

I didn't go up to touch it, but I can imagine that these corpses must be soft and boneless, otherwise it is impossible for an adult corpse to curl up under an adult's clothes without showing the slightest shape.

Pokerfing lifted up all five pieces of clothing, revealing five female corpses.

"I'm stupid." The fat man said, "What a weird scene."

The five female corpses in front of them were all curled up, and each corpse was in a very distorted posture. This posture was obviously intentional, even an anti-joint movement.The skin of the female corpses looked very white and slippery. It didn't look like human skin anymore, but rather resembled the bodies of aquatic molluscs. The faces of the five female corpses all wore masks made of white jade, which blocked their facial features.

Each of these five female corpses is fine when taken out individually, but it will make people feel very strange, but it will not be scary, but these five female corpses are put together and stay in the coffin in five different positions. Gives a creepy feeling.

"What is this?" Xiaohua frowned slightly, "It's the first time I've seen such a corpse, so there should be some explanation."

"This is a kind of Miao Yao witch." Poker-Feng said, "It's called '魑娘', who is responsible for raising Gu and insects. The clothes in the coffin, except for the top Han costume, They are all the costumes worn by the mother-in-law in various festivals and ceremonies."

"Then why is the set in the middle a phoenix coronet?" I asked, "Aren't all the witches in the Miao Yao area not married for life?"

Poker-Face shook his head, and said, "For Poker-grandmother, a wedding is a funeral."

He briefly talked about it, and then I roughly understood the ins and outs of "Chi Po".

Chipo is a kind of Miao Yao witch, but her status is not very high. Generally speaking, in this southwest minority area, witches and history are integrated, and the people value witches and priests very much. Only Chipo exception.

The sorcery mastered by women is also the sorcery that uses themselves as sacrificial vessels. For example, Gu worms are often kept in their own bodies, which means that they have to endure great pain.Moreover, most women are commoners or slave women. Even if they become witches and their status is improved, they will not be treated very well.

In addition to raising Gu worms in their bodies, the women are also required to practice Jiu-Jitsu and take medicine for a long time. Gradually, their bodies will become soft and transparent like aquatic molluscs.

In important national sacrificial activities, Mistresses will appear as attendants of the priests, and sometimes, Mistresses will be sacrificed as sacrifices. Although this is rare, it is already an important thing for high-status witches. It's unacceptable, at least when I heard that they were being sacrificed, I was surprised.

And the phrase "a wedding is a funeral" that Poker-Face said refers to the marriage customs of the mother-in-law.

Mistresses must be virgins, so as to maintain the purity of yin deficiency in the body. However, after each mistress reaches a certain age, they will be forced to marry, but this kind of "marriage" is " "Yin marriage", the woman will be "betrothed" to the gods by the high priest, and then she will also be sacrificed as a sacrifice to end her life.

However, I guess this so-called "yin marriage" is actually to take out the Gu worms that have formed in the body of the mother-in-law. "Yin marriage" is just a name for picking worms, and although the scorpion has the title of witch, it is actually just a container for raising worms. Thinking about it this way, I feel a little pitiful for them.

"Since there are five mistresses here, are there Gu worms in their bodies?" I asked.

Poker bottle shook his head: "After the death of the mother body, Gu worms can't survive either, these corpses should have other mysteries."

"Since they are Gu mothers, the key to unraveling the poison should be on them." Xiaohua said, "Will these corpses change?"

"Looking at their state, the possibility of corpse transformation is very small." Black Glasses said.

Xiaohua nodded, and walked forward, we followed suit, those black snakes were still coiled in the coffin as if they were asleep, we glanced at each other, and tacitly mentioned the black snakes and began to throw them down.

All fools know that if we touch these corpses, these snakes will probably cause problems, so we must get rid of these things before touching the corpses.

After throwing away all the snakes in the coffin, there was only that strange sand, five sets of clothes, and five corpses left in the coffin. The sand is a little different, but it seems to be just a little different sand, and there is no other mystery on the coffin. In this way, there should be no problems when handling these corpses.

Xiaohua reached out to touch a woman's arm, and after touching it, he frowned slightly: "This person's arm didn't bend like this naturally, it was broken by someone."

"It shouldn't be." Black Glasses immediately said, "Although these witches are very low-status, they are still witches at least. No one is allowed to damage their bodies, hair and skin. How could their hands be broken?"

Xiaohua didn't speak, but went directly to pinch Grandma's elbow.

"There is something inside her body." Xiaohua frowned slightly, "It seems to be... sand."
