[032] Skull cup (below)

After entering the tomb, Ye Jinya and Tuo searched for it, and finally found fragments of clothes and a few small jewelry in the two stone boxes and the clay pots.

It seems that the tomb owner was not a wealthy family during his lifetime. Ye Jinya, who was unwilling to accept this, naturally placed his eyes on the coffin that had not been opened.

Since ancient times, burialists have been burying the most valuable treasures in the coffin and buried with them.

For example, the night pearl of the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty, the gems of Emperor Mengyuan, the jade Buddha statue of the second emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, etc.

Even if the poor people die, their families will stuff a copper coin, silver, pearls and other things into the mouth of the deceased. I hope that the deceased's soul can bring these treasures' wealth and souls into the six realms of reincarnation after going to the underworld, so that they can be reincarnated and used again.

Although this behavior is a little hope and comfort from the deceased family members for the deceased's relatives, it is a ready-made wealth that can be obtained by rubbing hands.

In ancient times, many graves and tombs located in the wild were dug by tomb robbers. The bottom line of tomb robbers would help re-close the coffin cover after getting what they needed.

But most tomb robbers turn around and leave after getting the things, regardless of other trivial matters.

If the coffin in the tomb is fine, at least it will have a decent ending, but if it belongs to the type of tomb, the corpse lying in the coffin will only be a wilderness, shattered to a tragic ending.

Ye Jinya and Tugo worked together to push the coffin in the tomb and saw a corpse wearing ancient clothes lying inside.

What disappointed Ye Jinya was that except for a crutch that had already rotted and brittled, there was only a white bowl-shaped cup left in the coffin.

This cup is placed next to the head of the corpse, but it is obvious that this thing should not look very valuable.

The local dog curiously picked up the cup and observed it, and saw that it was actually made of human skull.

I don’t know which crazy person actually cut off the upper half of a person’s skull, then took the lower half and plated it into the patina, and then combined it with jade as the base, and made a skull cup.

After knowing what material the thing in his hand was made of, the local dog immediately put the skull cup back.

This thing is very unlucky even in the antique market, not to mention that it is encountered in this environment now.

Seeing that there was no valuable thing in the tomb owner's coffin, the Tugou planned to call Ye Jinya out of here.

But Ye Jinya adhered to the principle of "the thief will not leave empty", and ignored the advice of the local dog and forcibly took away the skull cup from the tomb.

The next thing was the scene that Shang Yan encountered. While these two guys were about to leave Qingyang Mountain, the local dog was unlucky and was attacked by a ghost.

If Shang Yan hadn't happened to pass by here tonight, these two guys would have died here.

After listening to what Ye Jinya said, Shang Yan immediately said to the local dog: "Take me the skull cup."

It was obviously the skull cup taken by Ye Jinya, but something happened to the local dog. This means that the skull cup must be on the local dog at this moment, so he got the moon first, which made the old woman get on the body.

With Ye Jinya's eyes allowed, the Tugou reached out to take out a yellowed vessel from the rag bag behind him and handed it to Shang Yan.

It is that skull cup.

I saw that the skull cup was cut from above the eye hole, and the saw hole was very smooth and obviously carefully treated. At the same time, the raw materials of the skull, namely the eye holes, nostrils, teeth, and ear holes of the human skull were sealed by something similar to the gum to ensure that the skull cup would not leak when it was loaded.

"I can only say that the tomb owner has a very great hatred for the owner of this head, and he actually used someone else's corpse to do such a thing." Shang Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"What does it mean?" Ye Jinya asked.

Shang Yan handed the skull cup in front of him: "Have you seen the large yellow spots inside this skull cup?"

Because Ye Jinya was dim in the moonlight, she couldn't see clearly for a while. She even deliberately put her head close to the skull cup. After observing it closely, he nodded and responded: "I saw it."

Shang Yan said lightly: "This is soaked out by urine."

"Wow!!!" Ye Jinya's face changed and he quickly took three steps back. Although this skull cup was at least a few hundred years ago, after hearing the word "piss", he subconsciously showed disgust.

"No way? Then isn't this skull cup just a urinal? Who would put a urinal in his coffin for burial with him while he was idle?" Tugo looked suspicious, but he didn't believe it.

"I didn't think of this, but after seeing this skull cup and that old woman, I made me quite sure." Shang Yan held the skull cup in his hand, and had no intention of disgust.

"The human heart is a place where blood and energy gather, and the human head is a place where spiritual consciousness gathers. This has been recognized by ancient people thousands or hundreds of years ago. Some ancient magicians and wizards believed that human souls were stored in the brain's spiritual consciousness. Taking a person's skull into a vessel, and then using some witchcraft, can prevent the person's soul from entering the cycle of reincarnation and never be reborn."

Shang Yan shook the skull cup in his hand: "Obviously, what you encounter is the soul locked in this vessel. The reason why the tomb owner put a urinal in the coffin for him to bury him is that he does not want this thing to spread. Otherwise, if he meets a kind monk or Taoist priest, the other party might be able to reincarnate him and avoid the torture of eternal life."

Ye Jinya couldn't help but frown and tsk her mouth: "What a deep hatred this is. I really want to know what kind of grudges there are between them."

Shang Yan: "There is no chance. The old woman on the skull cup has already lost her soul. Although the process is a little painful, it can be regarded as a successful reliance. If the soul is still there, maybe you can use the soul-detention technique to ask it."

Ye Jinya's eyes lit up: "You can still use soul-detention techniques?"

"No, I'll just talk about it." Shang Yan handed the skull cup to the earthen dog, intending to return it to him.

But the local dog shook his head quickly: "Brother, you'd better destroy it, this thing looks weird."

After learning that this skull cup was a urinary, and it was once an evil weapon that locked the evil spirit, Ye Jinya completely lost interest in the skull cup.

"Yes, Shang Yan, just help us destroy it."

Shang Yan nodded with the skull cup: "Okay, then I'll leave this thing to me. I'll find a place to destroy it."

Since the local dog has regained its ability to move, the three of them have no intention of continuing to stand here and chat.

So Shang Yan took the initiative to say goodbye to Ye Jinya and Tugou, took his body and walked towards the direction of Guolianggou.

"Shang Yan, remember to find me when you have time to go to the city and let me treat you well." Ye Jinya shouted to Shang Yan's back.

"Okay." Shang Yan waved his hand and soon disappeared between the mountains and forests with his body.

Ye Jinya: "Hehe, I met a strange person tonight. If we encounter any difficult problems in the future, we can spend money to ask him to help."

Dog: "Don't you think the person next to this kid is strange?"

"How strange?"

"He always jumps and jumps when walking, which is different from us."

"Hi, this shows that that person must be a master. How can an ordinary person like you and me understand his behavior?" Ye Jinya said confidently.

The dog scratched his head: "Maybe."

On the way out of the mountain, Ye Jinya couldn't help but learn how the corpse was moved, and began to jump and feel how the "master" walked.

"Don't leave like this anymore, you look like a zombie."

"You have to care, just a little bit!"
