Chapter 196 Chapter fifty-fifth yellow sausage problem

"I remember that it was July. The six of us had just entered the desert. The heat was unbearable. One of them was Hu Hansan. He was a little fat. Fat people are most afraid of heat. The sweat on his body was like the water of a small river, rushing away. Hu Hansan said that the heat is unbearable, and it is better to fight in Beijing. In fact, everyone knows that the wind in the underground palace is 'swish', and you feel cold sweat all over your body. It is definitely a good place to escape the heat. There is no way, step into the tiger's den It’s impossible to go back any more, so the six of them will bite the bullet and move forward.” Having said this, Senior Jia took a sip of water and emphasized, “This is the first strange thing we encountered in the desert.”

Senior Jia took a look at First Young Master Liu and the Grasshopper, acted like a good boy, and said, "Guess who we met? You can't even guess, the corpse drying shed! Let's see the custom of driving corpses of the Miao people in western Xiangxi." I have, but I have never seen the custom of drying corpses in the Tibetan desert!" "At that time, not only Fatty Hu was hot, but we skinny monkeys were also hot, but in order to strengthen the determination of the team, no one showed it, so they walked forward, hoping to encounter some oasis or a grass shed, and we could temporarily Take a break from the heat." Senior Jia fully entered the scene at that time, "Fatty Hu couldn't bear the heat, so he naturally paid more attention to the surrounding situation. Suddenly, he pointed to the front and said, "Look, is there a house?" We heard that it was a house, and we all felt that there was something to look forward to, and our bodies felt cooler at this time."

Jia Zhuangyuan and the other six people walked towards that house. To meet such a good thing in the desert is undoubtedly a pie in the sky.When he was tens of meters away from the house, Fatty Hu suddenly said, something is wrong, it does not seem to be a house.After his reminder, the other five people noticed that it was really not a house, to put it bluntly, it was just a shelf built with several wooden pillars. There seems to be something hanging on the shelf, black and long!When the six people got closer, they couldn't help taking a breath: corpses were all hanging from the beams around them!Some have been dried, and some seem to have just been hung up.

"It's fucking unlucky, I didn't expect to encounter this for the first time in the desert!" Hu Hansan said with half-closed eyes under the scorching sun. Jia Zhuangyuan asked if this was a execution ground. What he meant was if this was a guillotine for hanging. Some criminals were extremely vicious, most of them were leaders on the mountain, and there were at least dozens of brothers under him, so they could not simply be executed publicly. , that would be in danger of being robbed of the law field, and usually dragged to such a secret place for execution. Among the six people, although Bi Sazhu is a thin monkey, he is a good monkey. His father is a pig butcher, and he gave birth to a son. He originally wanted to get some credit with the "pig", and named him "killing pig". But my wife still doesn't agree with it. With such a precious son, he can't be expected to kill pigs in the future, so he took a homonym: Sazhu.Sure enough, Bi Sazhu was taught by his father, and he started to kill pigs with a knife when he was five years old, but he stabbed the pigs randomly without any rules.It was only later that he entered the School of Touching Gold.

Bi Sazhu took a sniff and said, "Which one of you has a good nose? Is there a fragrance here?" He said so, and the other five people smelled it. Scared, no one is conscious. Bi Sazhu's deduction is correct: if it is a death row prisoner, it is impossible to spray some perfume here.Besides, these corpses were all intact, without any obvious signs of injury. So everyone infers: Could it be specially used to make mummy in the desert?At that time, there was no formalin solution to soak the corpse and keep the corpse free from decaying bacteria, so the Tibetan people uniquely discovered the great invention of making mummies to prevent decay.

Speaking of anti-corrosion technology, China is a huge country. For thousands of years, there are many anti-corrosion methods, such as applying antiseptics on corpses. The most important thing is spices, such as Chinese borneol and benzoin. They make the air fresh. The corpse exudes fragrance and is antiseptic. The Chinese knew that it was used to smear on the corpse for antiseptic as early as thousands of years ago.Especially the ancient Egyptians, the incense corpses made of frankincense, that is, the mummies in the pyramids. Another anti-corrosion technology can start from the tomb. "Yellow intestines" is a good anti-corrosion method. "Yellow sausage" refers to the yellow heart of cypress, that is, the peeled cypress. "Tizuo" means that the heads of the wooden squares are all arranged inwards, so that the accumulation form is firm. "Huang Chang Ti Kuo", taken together to explain, refers to the frame structure made of cypress beams piled up around the outer and outer chambers of the mausoleum.A wall of wood was built around the coffin, and a roof was covered on it, just like a house, with toilets outside.Princes, officials, and scholars below the Son of Heaven can also use inscriptions, but generally cypress wood cannot be used, because there are strict grade restrictions on the materials used in tombs, but pine wood and catalpa wood can be used instead.After the death of Huo Guang, a famous general in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty considered his outstanding contributions during his lifetime, and "given one each to Zi Gong, Bian Fang, and Huang Chang Ti Cou".

"Huangchang Ticou" represents the noble identity and status of the owner of the tomb, and another meaning is to help protect the coffin from damage.But this kind of burial is really expensive, there are tens of thousands of yellow heart cypress trees!Although it is wasteful, as long as the best antiseptic effect can be achieved, the ancient dignitaries and nobles don't care so much!It can be said that the anti-corrosion technology used by ancient dignitaries and dignitaries in the "Huangchang Tijuo" is not something that ordinary people can't afford. Another kind is mummies. To put it bluntly, mummies are artificial mummies.After the death of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, the body cavity was cut open, the internal organs were taken out, the corpse was poured with hot rosin, and then wrapped with a cloth soaked in rosin. The unearthed mummies had rosin in the intracranial and mastoid chambers.It can also achieve anti-corrosion effect.

The mummy hanging in front of him is an artificial mummy, and ordinary people can afford it.The dry and hot weather in Tibet is used to dehydrate the dead body to form a natural mummy.In addition to Loulan mummies, Hami also has mummies, just like making raisins.In an extremely dry environment, the moisture in the corpse evaporates quickly.At the same time, the reproduction of bacteria is also inhibited, and the corruption of the corpse will stop and be better preserved. After a person dies, the corpse is relatively easy to rot, and it takes a while to make a mummy, so it is a good way to smear incense on the body.The scent that the six people smelled just now came from the corpse that had just been hung up.

The six of them, Hu Hansan and Jia Zhuangyuan, originally felt that the heat was unbearable, but now, when they saw this battle, they all stuck out their tongues in fright, and immediately broke out in cold sweat on their backs, and began to mutter about Bodhisattva in their hearts. In order to prevent fraudulent corpses, the surrounding pillars and beams are painted with red cinnabar.Generally, when encountering such a situation, it is better not to provoke the dead, so as not to have unclean things pestering oneself. "Forget it, I didn't find a house when I searched for it, so it's a good time, and it's cool!" Bi Sazhu laughed helplessly.

There are several mummies that have been made, and the blue blood vessels can be clearly seen.Who knew that Hu Hansan usually praised how bold he was, but at this time, he couldn't hold on any longer, and began to vomit "wow". Just when everyone else was making fun of Hu Hansan and barely noticed, suddenly they saw a few corpses that had just been hung up start shaking! "No, I'm going to cheat the corpse!" Jia Zhuangyuan felt that something was wrong, seeing a corpse dangling wildly, as if trying to break free from the rope that bound his hands! So the five people hurriedly took out the black donkey's hoof and held it tightly in their hands. Hu Hansan stopped vomiting, and quickly took out a handful of glutinous rice from his pocket, and sprinkled it on the violently shaking corpse.But this time, for some unknown reason, the glutinous rice had no effect, and the body shook even more violently. There was no other way but to use the black donkey's hoof in his hand.

Like throwing grenades, five people threw them one after another, impartially, and hit the shaking corpse, only two "squeaks" were heard, and the six people immediately felt hairy. The five black donkey hooves seem to have worked, and the body slowly stopped shaking. Just when the six people were secretly rejoicing, the body suddenly shook again. Before the six people could see clearly, they saw two huge black donkeys. The thing fell to the ground, and there were two "squeaks", which made people terrified. With the help of the strong sunlight, the six people finally saw clearly: two huge mice, their heads could rival a piglet, and their teeth were extraordinarily sharp. At first, these teeth were really born to eat mummy, nature is really strange , one thing drops one thing. This is not an ordinary house mouse, and it is also different from gophers. Their nests are generally 40 meters underground in the desert, so as to insulate them from the heat of the desert, and the moisture they exhale moistens the air in the cave.Their teeth seem to be born to eat the mummy. The teeth are very sharp and can easily tear apart the mummy.Their kidneys can filter urine automatically, and then send most of the water back to the blood vessels, so that it can be reused.So these special mice don't need to drink water even if they eat mummy! Relying on their sharp teeth, the two mice saw six living people standing in front of them, and they didn't seem to panic and run away. Instead, they turned their heads and stood there, making angry voices from their throats, as if warning them. The two sides confronted each other for a long time, and no one dared to move easily. Suddenly, the two mice left the mummy as if they had seen a cat, and ran desperately towards the desert.This sudden change left the six people stunned, not knowing what happened. Jia Zhuangyuan had learned some kung fu from Da Dou who taught him back then, and his feet were so good that he shouted: "Wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go!"
