Chapter 9 The Mystery of Immortality

I followed him shamelessly - if I didn't understand these weird and bizarre things, I wouldn't be able to sleep, live well, or eat well.

Mu Xiang didn't pay much attention to me. This is not because he is arrogant, but because of his nature. It is already difficult for ordinary people in the market to communicate with such a noble person like him.

The white car was parked outside the temple. I took a few glances and was even more surprised.

This car is really an expensive luxury product! It is actually one of the best cars in the world, "Bentley". It costs more than 8 million yuan to own one of this kind of car!

How can someone who can ride in such a car be an ordinary person?

"Do you want to go back to the city? I can give you a ride." Although Mu Xiang didn't like to talk to me, he still asked me politely about my wishes.

"Thank you, thank you. I was about to go to the city to find Mayor Mu. I heard that his son recently encountered a ghost." I explained loudly on purpose.

"A ghost?" He turned to look at me, somewhat interested.

This is the effect I want. When dealing with this kind of person, if you have a gimmick, don't show off, otherwise it will make him annoying.

So I said directly: "His son has been very evil recently and has had many weird accidents. I heard that Mayor Mu met a Taoist on the road a few days ago and got advice, so he came to Lanruo Temple and wanted to come to Ananda Cave to offer sacrifices.

Worship the century-old grandma of the Mu family and seek asylum!"

"Taoist?!" Mu Xiang's eyes sparkled, and he took my hand and got into the car: "Let's talk on the way."

"I've never seen that person, but Mayor Mu came to this mountain alone, which is why Mu Deming's theft of the coffin was exposed, and the person in the coffin disappeared later. I personally think that everything is not a coincidence.

, Mu Deming is crazy, and the only person who is mysteriously related to this incident is Mayor Mu’s son.”

I spoke my conclusion in a eloquent manner, firstly to show my ability and comprehensive wisdom, and secondly to make Mu Xiang understand my position and determination.

"You should have checked the files of the Public Security Bureau. Are there any records of the items in the coffin?" Mu Xiang seemed not interested in what I said and changed the subject.

"There's nothing, it's just an empty coffin. But I think since Mu Deming dared to take such a big risk to steal the coffin, he must have figured out what valuable things were in the coffin."

I am certain of this, because I have interviewed Mu Youneng, and Mu Youneng can confirm that there is indeed a jade in the century-old coffin, which is said to be an heirloom of the Mu family and is priceless!

But under Mu Youneng's questioning and threats, his nephew Mu Deming did not dare to lie. The baby was already gone when Mu Deming entered!

If someone from the Mu family went to the cave in the past and someone stole the jade, then according to Guixie's theory, they would naturally suffer retribution. According to this reasoning, Mayor Mu's son is most likely a thief.

Treasure person!

Along the way, I explained all my conclusions and information to Fang Xiang in detail. After hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and suddenly said: "She does have that kind of ability, a kind of foresight."

Ability, as long as she arranges it well, everything is under her control, and no one can escape!"

"If she...is still alive." I tried hard to control my madness and continued: "Is Mayor Mu's son the first target of her revenge?"

"It doesn't matter about revenge. The grudges in this world are no longer worthy of her concern. But if someone really takes that thing away, it will be very bad. This is not her problem, but the stone itself is an ominous thing."

Mu Xiang said slowly and with some pain.

Speaking of this, the car had already entered the city and turned around in the square. The driver in front asked: "Old General, are you going back, or are you going to Mayor Mu's house with him?"

It was obvious that even though he was driving, he listened to our conversation.

"You don't have to go to Mayor Mu's house. Let's go to the city's No. 1 Hospital, where Mayor Mu's son is in the special care ward." I responded quickly, fearing that Mu would want to change his mind.

Mu Xiang raised his hand: "Da He, just go to the hospital as he said."

The driver didn't say much, turned the car around, and drove towards the City's First Hospital.

"Yu Chu...where will you go..." He slowly closed his eyes, as if he was tired, not from physical exhaustion, but from the impact of this change, which made him confused and longing, but what was he longing for?

"You... are the general?" I asked cautiously.

"Even so, it happened a long time ago. For me, in this life, the most glorious times are before the age of thirty, and the happiest and most painful times are also before the age of thirty, and after the age of thirty... I

My soul is dead, I have no happiness or pain, not even memories and feelings.”

He opened his eyes again, seemingly uneasy, and slowly took out a pack of cigarettes.

This is the first time I see him smoking.

He handed me one, opened the car window, and a cool wind blew in, blowing his dark hair.

As soon as the cigarette was lit, he took a deep breath and seemed to find some peace again. His emotions gradually immersed him in the scenes of the past, and he said slowly: "Her name is Yu Chu. She chose this name herself. As for her surname,

What and where it comes from, I will never mention it. She and I spent the best six years. Those six years were the best life of my life, and even a beautiful life that no human being can get.

.”

"Yu Chu? Is that... the person who has been sleeping in the coffin for a hundred years?" I asked softly.

He nodded.

My mind was a little confused, and what he said sounded crazy, so I could only treat myself as a madman and talk some crazy nonsense to stimulate his thoughts and dig out a little bit of secrets.

When Mu Xiang spoke, he was extremely fragmented. He seemed to be talking about whatever he thought of. Although it was incoherent, it always revolved around him and "Yu Chu", and it was quite clear to listen to.

Originally, his narration was extremely crazy in many places, did not follow any logic, and was even nonsense. But looking at his demeanor, it was extremely calm and natural, just like what happened yesterday, full of energy, and mixed with this.

A few sighs made me unable to extricate myself, forgetting the real world and common sense, and listened with fascination...

"Do you believe that there are demons and immortals in this world?"

"I don't understand. I don't believe it, but there is no evidence that these things don't exist! However, I can explain the scientific principle of corpses not decaying for a hundred years." I said ambiguously.

He yelled: "Then, let's use your science to explain why people don't decay for a hundred years after death?"

"Even with today's technology, it is impossible to prevent a corpse from decaying for a hundred years." I said with some frustration: "

I have done a lot of research, and there are many types of embalming of ancient corpses, but from the historical data found in archeology, not all of them are effective.

"What can be done to keep the corpse incorruptible? In fact, we can only start from two aspects. First, embalming the corpse, and second, treating the coffin."

According to my theory, the first method used by ancient people to embalm corpses was to "bathe the corpse in wine."

After the excavation of Han Tomb No. 1 in Mawangdui, Changsha, chemical identification revealed that the reason why the Mawangdui female corpse has not decayed for thousands of years lies in its two obvious characteristics: first, it has been treated with mercury, and second, the corpse has been treated with millet wine and other objects.

of soaking.

Wrapping with multiple layers of textiles is the second way to prevent corpses from rotting. Because of the decomposition of corpses, the decomposition of bacteria is the main reason. In addition to achieving sterilization and disinfection to inhibit bacterial activity, the corpse must be tightly sealed to prevent air from entering.

The female corpse in Mawangdui was wrapped in about twenty layers of various clothes, and tied with nine ribbons from head to toe, and her face was also covered with a mask.

The third method is to freeze it with ice. In 1991, an "Iceman" corpse was discovered in the Alps. Scientists determined by radioactive isotopes that the Iceman was an ancient corpse from 5,300 years ago. Its skin, internal organs, and even eyes

All remain intact.

The fourth step is to remove the internal organs. The ancients believed that the body would decay quickly after death, mainly due to the rot of the internal organs and soft organs and the decay of other parts. Therefore, before making mummies in ancient Egypt, the first process was

Remove the internal organs of the corpse.

The fifth tip is spices. The ancient Egyptians made mummies with scented corpses, which are still preserved in the pyramids. The ancient corpses unearthed in my country have not decayed for thousands of years, and spices such as borneol and benzoin are also responsible for their contribution.

The sixth step is to make coffins with high-quality materials. The purpose of making coffins is to better preserve the body, and the materials used and their thickness are very important. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, cypress, pine, catalpa, nanmu, etc. were listed as

Alternative wood for making coffins.

The seventh tip is to choose high ground for burial. The reason is that high ground burial can avoid water and moisture, which can effectively prevent the coffin and body from premature decay.

The last resort is to use burial jade to preserve the body. "Bao Pu Zi? Dui Su Pian" also says: If gold and jade are in the nine orifices, the dead will be immortal.

Nine orifice plugs are used to fill or cover the nine orifices of the deceased, including the eyes, nose, ears, mouth, anus, and vagina. The purpose is to prevent the "essence" in the body from escaping from the nine orifices. Among them, the essence contained in the mouth of the deceased is

The nine-orifice stopper is the most important, and this stopper is called a jade stick. The longest-used jade stick is the jade cicada.

The use of cicadas as an accompaniment may be related to the ecological characteristics of cicadas, hoping that the dead will resurrect in the soil like cicadas. However, in the tombs of the Han Dynasty that have been excavated, the cicada-shaped jade axes are still there, but the bones have no longer survived.

"None of the things you said were there at the time. She was intact. I personally dressed her in clothes. There was no chemical treatment. It makes no sense! However, the last one you said is somewhat reliable. That piece of jade was indeed put there.

In her mouth." Mu Xiang listened for a long time and concluded.

I don't know which muscle jumped up, but I had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "So the jade on her body was stolen, her energy was scattered, and she couldn't sleep peacefully. She had to wake up and leave Lanruo Temple?!"
