Let me be clear, it's not that I won't update, it's just that the update schedule is unstable. We've been working on the circuits here for the past few days and there have been power outages, so I haven't had time to write. Also, I have my own things to do in real life, so I code and update as I go, so the update schedule is a bit unstable these days. It will be back to normal in a few days, please understand.
…
Holy shit! You want to scare me to death!
The coffin lid that was suddenly pushed open, the corpse that suddenly sat up, and the horrible, shriveled face with pupils that shone with dark red light were all scary weapons. As soon as we saw them, we quickly stepped back.
Ha… The man who rose from the bloody coffin stared at us and exhaled a long puff of black air. A fishy stench washed over us. Without even sniffing, we could sense how serious the effects of inhaling this black air would be. Luckily, Zhang Haitao and I were wearing masks, so we weren't in serious danger.
Wow! The man in the bloody coffin suddenly burst out, floating above it, looking down at us. His scarlet eyes darted over us, then he looked up at the pitch-black tomb, a look of bewilderment on his face. It seemed he'd been inside the bloody coffin for too long, and now, suddenly out in the open, he wasn't quite ready.
We also took this opportunity to retreat to a safe distance and carefully examine him from head to toe.
"The coffin was soaked in a pile of blood and corpses, and the owner of the coffin appeared..." Lao Sha looked shocked.
"Brother Tao, are you sure? Is he the prince from the Ming Dynasty who used 999 living people to create this bloody corpse field?" The brothel owner's eyes also showed horror, as if she was a little bit unbelievable about the man who appeared from the blood coffin.
Not to mention me, I was equally shocked. The person who emerged from the bloody coffin—or, more accurately, a corpse—had lain in the coffin, fused into the thick, sticky layer of blood and corpses. After years of constant soaking, the coffin had gradually turned a blood-red color. The most terrifying thing was that the corpse suddenly jumped out of the bloody coffin, as if alive, giving us a nasty fright!
Is this a fake corpse or a fake corpse or a fake corpse?
I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but based on my years of experience with ghosts and demons under Su Xiaoniu's guidance, I could tell this guy had used some kind of sorcery to confine himself within the coffin. Even though his body had died centuries later, it wouldn't decay, allowing his soul to linger within. In other words, what we saw before us was a dead body and a living soul.
Apart from this, I can't think of any other possibility.
Zhang Haitao stared intently at the figure floating on the bloody coffin and said gravely, "Ming Dynasty clothing belongs to the Han clothing system. After overthrowing the Mongolian rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty restored the traditions of the Han people. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, based on Han traditions, "inherited the Zhou and Han dynasties and took inspiration from the Tang and Song dynasties" and re-established the clothing system. Look at the robes he wears. Putting aside the meaning of the yellow robe, just by looking at the Yishan crown on his head, you can tell that this person must have been an emperor or a prince of the Ming Dynasty."
"Yishanguan?" I frowned.
Zhang Haitao explained: "The Yishan crown was the headgear worn by the emperor, crown prince, princes, and other members of the royal family during the Ming Dynasty."
I said curiously, "Even if that's the case, a Yishan crown and a yellow robe alone can't strongly prove that he is a Ming Dynasty emperor or a prince, right? Perhaps someone stole the prince's Yishan crown or something and wore it themselves?"
"What you said makes sense. However, in order to establish the feudal rituals, discipline and laws of the Ming Dynasty, in the first year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, as soon as he ascended the throne, issued an edict to restore the clothing style to the Tang Dynasty. This is because Yuan Shizu launched an army in the desert to unify the world and completely replaced Chinese customs with foreign customs. The scholars and commoners all braided their hair and wore topknots, deep-brimmed foreign hats, and their clothes had narrow sleeves with hip pleats and braided waist pleats. Women wore short shirts with narrow sleeves and no skirts, no longer wearing traditional Chinese clothing." Zhang Haitao said, pointing to the corpses lying in a mess on the nearby bloody ground, and continued: "The 999 corpses on the bloody ground are all wearing Ming Dynasty Hanfu. If we look at the owner of the coffin from the perspective of these corpses, the answer is obvious."
"That's right. Considering the legend of the bloody corpse field, the thing that is floating towards us is most likely a prince of the Ming Dynasty." The brothel owner said as she stepped back, holding the bundle of steel ropes in her hand.
I retreated with a scowl on my face. This brothel owner, knowing the enemy was approaching, still managed to chatter along. Really impressive. But after being brainwashed by Zhang Haitao and the brothel owner, I gradually began to believe that the floating corpse might actually be a prince of the Ming Dynasty.
The madam and Lao Sha were standing in front, and Zhang Haitao and I were at the back, slowly retreating. It seemed that Zhang Haitao and the others were unwilling to fight with the prince, so they retreated slowly without angering him.
Just at this moment, the prince in a dazzling yellow robe actually spoke: "Who are you? How did you find my mausoleum? Where is the sword-testing stone left by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhang Haitao and I looked at each other, and in an instant we seemed to understand something. Although we didn't know why the huge sword-testing stone blocking the door appeared in this tomb and became a roadblock, we can be sure that it was indeed chopped by Zhu Yuanzhang back then!
Lao Sha said bluntly, "It has been split in half."
