Chapter 303

The coffin lid fell onto the soil, and the scene inside the coffin appeared before everyone's eyes.

There were no burial objects inside, nor were there any terrifying things, only a long object wrapped tightly in linen.

Old Cheng screamed in terror: "Zongzi! This is a Zongzi!! Mommy!"

Not to mention him, even the archaeological team was a bit panicked by this scene.

The burial shroud in other people's coffins was at most simply wrapped; this one was wrapped layer upon layer, looking like a mummy.

Chen Feng bit the bullet and looked at Fang Yang: "What do we do? Continue opening it?"

Fang Yang nodded with a smile: "What's there to be afraid of? The police are right here!"

The archaeological team could only bite the bullet and go to dismantle the burial shroud.

Right now, they weren't sure what was wrapped inside.

They could only dismantle it bit by bit in the coffin.

Everyone's heart was in their throat; after all, what they encountered today was exactly the same as in the movies.

The next moment, the thing inside would come back to life and kill them all.

Watching the burial shroud being lifted layer by layer.

When the last piece was lifted, the members of the archaeological team scrambled away in terror: "Help! Zombie!!"

The few people around the coffin scattered and ran toward the top of the mud pit for their lives.

Old Cheng was so scared his legs went soft, and he sat on the ground, his voice trembling: "Run! Someone help me, my legs won't listen to me. I said the coffin couldn't be opened, but you didn't believe me. Now, while the zombie hasn't woken up, run!"

The scene in the coffin made even Fang Yang gasp.

He saw a zombie lying inside that looked very much like the one in the movies.

Of course, it didn't have the zombie's fangs, nor was its face as pale as a zombie's.

The flesh on the entire face was shrunken and wrinkled, just like the feeling of the Black Mountain Old Demon.

It was wearing an official uniform from the Qing Dynasty, with a blue collar and black clothes. The clothes were straight, and the pattern on the chest was clearly visible.

The official hat worn on its head was also red.

But these weren't the most terrifying things!

Besides that, its body was covered with sticky rice, and what was even more exaggerated was that a Taoist talisman was stuck to its head!

On it were drawn runes that couldn't be understood.

Such a style could be said to be exactly the same as the one in the movies!

But he wasn't afraid. The moment the coffin opened, the system panel popped up.

Naturally, he knew why this situation appeared.

Captain Wang took a deep breath and stood next to Fang Yang, looking at the coffin: "I always thought the zombies in movies were fake, until today, I have to believe that this is actually real!"

Fang Yang smiled: "Brother Wang, zombies are indeed fake; there are no zombies. What we see isn't a zombie, but a mummy. Of course, you can also understand it as a mummy."

"This mummy has both artificial mummy production and natural environmental factors, so the preservation integrity of this corpse is undoubtedly very good."

Chen Feng nodded solemnly: "The research value of this ancient corpse far exceeds imagination, comparable to the Loulan female corpse of that year, and one could even say it is better preserved than that one. Fang Yang, what should we do now? This... I don't have experience either. How about we lift the whole coffin back?"

"The coffin must be lifted back; it also has research value, but well, it's not as complicated as you think."

After saying that, he bent down and, in front of everyone, took the yellow talisman off the mummy's head with one hand.

This operation left Old Cheng dumbfounded.

"Holy crap! Don't! Put it back, are you crazy!"

Others were also a bit scared and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Fang Yang handed the yellow talisman in his hand to Chen Feng and smiled: "Keep it safe, this also counts as a cultural relic!"

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1...

——【Legend, legend, it always has a prototype, right? If there's no prototype, how can you spread it! It's not that I'm superstitious, at least I think these things should have existed, it's just that they are too rare, most people haven't seen them, and those who have seen them were probably killed.】

——【There really are zombies. My grandfather almost turned into a zombie; I often heard my grandmother say it, and my father also told us. I don't know how many times I've heard this story since I was a child. I still remember the first time I heard about it, I didn't dare to walk at night for several years after that, and I still remember it vividly to this day.】

——【We also had a corpse resurrection here. My grandfather saw it with his own eyes when he was a child. It had infinite strength and could stick its hands into a tree. The kind of earth walls in the countryside were scratched with deep marks, and seven or eight strong men couldn't hold it with ropes. I don't know if it's true or false, anyway, it was said to be very mysterious.】

——【Fang Yang is courting death! He is too bold. Using so many means to suppress this zombie shows that he had a lot of resentment before he died or before he was buried. As a human, you still have to have some awe. A moment of impulse leads to a great disaster, and it will be too late to regret it!】

Chen Feng looked at the calm Fang Yang in front of him and admired him to the extreme.

This courage, not many people can do it.

Even if someone dares to uncover it, that's just reckless.

But from Fang Yang's eyes, one could see that he was confident, as if standing from a God's perspective, having already seen through everything.

Everyone waited in terror for a while, only to find that the zombie in the coffin still didn't move and didn't jump up to kill them.

Fang Yang smiled and explained: "I told you earlier, there is no such thing as a zombie, and I probably know why he was buried here like this!"

Captain Wang was full of surprise: "You know this? You know him?"

After saying this, he felt it was inexplicable himself.

Fang Yang shook his head with a smile: "I don't know him, but I've read an interesting thing recorded in the county annals, and it seems to be related to him!"

170. Dug up a UFO! UFO?? (Please subscribe!)

After listening to Fang Yang's words, everyone's curiosity was piqued.

After all, this zombie was too eerie.

"The county annals record that during the Qing Dynasty, a state clerk was on his way to take office and passed by this place with his attendants. That night, they suddenly heard a scream, and when everyone rushed over, the attendant had already fallen to the ground."

"Then someone went to check and found that he had been bitten to death by someone. The wound was on the neck, which is the mummy we saw earlier."

After listening, everyone couldn't help but look at the mummy on the ground, and at the same time, a chill went from head to toe.

The cameraman felt a bit hairy: "Brother, are you telling a horror story?"

Fang Yang smiled: "Listen to me first."

"The villagers all thought there was a monster sucking human blood, and the state was just like you are now. Later, they remembered the clerk was missing. Everyone thought he had been caught by the monster, so they organized a group of people to find him in the middle of the night."

"They searched for a long time and found him in a forest. He had already fainted at the time. The villagers saw he still had breathing, so they brought him back to the village."

"But who would have thought that after he woke up, he would bite anyone he saw. Many people were bitten by him. In the end, the villagers had no choice but to knock him unconscious with a stick. As a result, he never woke up the next day and died directly."

"The village chief was scared to death and buried him that very day. But two days later, those who had been bitten by him fell ill one after another, all having similar symptoms. The village felt that the state clerk was haunted by an evil spirit, so they quickly dug him up and invited a mage to perform rituals."

"It happened to be the middle of winter, and the corpse hadn't deteriorated after being buried for two days. The mage stuck a talisman on him, covered his whole body with sticky rice, buried him with a burial shroud, and painted him with dog blood. He believed that since the person had just died, these methods could lock the evil spirit in the body."

"To suppress evil spirits, one must use a coffin made of essence stone, or a gold coffin, or a stone coffin; absolutely not a wooden coffin or no coffin. And there must be no burial objects in the coffin."

"The villagers had no choice but to spend money to make a stone coffin, using the Yang energy here—to put it bluntly, the heat—to suppress it. Then the coffin was sealed with sticky rice and lime, and three bowls of incense ash water were poured on it, never to be opened again!"

Old Cheng listened attentively to the story and was completely immersed in it.

"Why do I feel it's getting more and more terrifying! Don't do this!"

The cameraman also nodded vigorously.

Captain Wang asked curiously: "What happened later? I don't believe this is the ending!"

Fang Yang nodded with a smile: "That's right, at that time, this matter was over, and from then on, there was a legend of an evil spirit in the village."

"But in reality, his symptoms were actually rabies. I reckon he was bitten by a dog before passing through this village!"

"The reason he bit people was that his rabies happened to flare up, and he was abnormally excited. The villagers were infected. In modern understanding, it's a viral infection. It's just that there were no good medical means at the time, and they didn't know it. Most of the villagers eventually died."

Old Cheng was dumbfounded: "That's it? Just bitten by a dog?"

Others were also a bit incredulous. They made it so mysterious and eerie, only to find out it was because of a dog bite.

This made them unable to turn their minds around for a while, and it was a bit hard to accept.

But this explanation also made sense.

But Old Cheng was still a bit afraid and asked weakly: "What if he wasn't bitten by a dog!"

Fang Yang pointed to Chen Feng: "Don't we have professional archaeological experts here? Why don't we use instruments to scan if there are any traces of dog bites on his body later!"

Chen Feng suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, scan and analyze now."

After saying that, he immediately took care of the archaeological team to move an instrument down from the car, and one of them used a scanner to scan the zombie's hands and feet.

Because the integrity of the corpse was very high, the detection process was also much easier.

The instrument could quickly analyze relevant data.

When scanning the right calf, the archaeological team exclaimed quickly: "Found it, there are two deep wounds here. Judging from the gap, it is highly likely that it was bitten by some kind of animal."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Looking at Fang Yang, it was like looking at a God.

If they had dug it up, the archaeological team would have had to study it for at least a few months, and just checking information and analyzing would have required a lot of time.
