Chapter 97 Chapter 9 Black Water

There is liquid in the coffin, which is actually a relatively common thing, because when the coffin is sealed, it will be nailed to death with wooden nails, and then all the gaps will be sealed with a cement-like thing made of clay lime and rotten fishing nets. This procedure is done perfectly, then the body will rot in an absolutely closed space, and all the moisture in the body will remain in the coffin. About 60-70% of the human body is water. This amount of water is quite astonishing, especially when the skeleton left after the corpse rots is very small, the bones are easily submerged under water.

This kind of water is called corpse fluid, also known as coffin fluid.Of course, there are some coffins that are not tightly sealed, and there is water in them, most of which are caused by the accumulation of water in the tomb. In this case, there is a lot of coffin fluid, so the cousin asked this question. However, my father answered very definitely, and I also took a few glances. There is indeed no water in the main tomb, so the coffin fluid must not be rainwater, and it is even less likely to be corpse fluid, because there are so many Water, the corpse is probably fatter than O'Neill.

Both of these are impossible, so there is only one extreme case, that is, these liquids may be antiseptic potions poured into the coffin when they were buried. This is indeed more likely, because the black water in this coffin exudes a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine . Here is another interesting point, as I mentioned before, that is, in ancient China, some people used coffin liquid to make medicine. This sounds incredible, but the origin is quite reasonable, because this kind of antiseptic It contains a very rare traditional Chinese medicine, which was lost in the late Ming Dynasty. If people in later generations want to use this medicine, they have to ask the patients to go to the ancient tomb to find the coffin fluid containing this ingredient.

However, there were too many quack doctors at that time, and they spread rumors. As a result, many patients vomited and diarrhea after eating the body fluids of the ancient corpses, and even put arsenic and cinnabar in the coffins to prevent insects and dry them. This bad habit has spread to modern times, and Mr. Lu Xun has also suffered from it. There is a reason why he hates Chinese medicine so much. I feel uncomfortable looking at the black water, the things in this coffin must sink to the bottom of the water, I don’t know what will happen, and the feeling that the water is full and overflowing seems creepy, I always have hallucinations There is something scary in this water.

Cousin and the others were naturally not afraid. They put down the pry bar, leaned over to the side of the coffin, and looked carefully into the black water. It is said that it is black water, it must not be ink, but an illusion formed by the relationship between light and turbidity. Cousin lit the paper money on one side to illuminate it, close to the water surface. I watched from a distance, and saw that under the black water, illuminated by the fire, it was so deep that it seemed to have no bottom.
