Corpses are legendary guardian of Solomon's treasure of the devil's flower, people close to the hallucinations and thus kill each other, the color is extremely bright, make people hallucinate, wear gas masks are useless, long in the tomb, can make the corpse does not rot and send out fragrance. Corpses can grow in the tomb, it is said to be able to keep the body does not rot, but also allows the body to emit aroma, extremely valuable. Legend has it that there is an evil spirit attached to the Corpse Fragrance Taro, and once she has grown, the living can no longer approach her. This capricious and meddlesome and even potentially haunted formalin flower grows on the coffin of the first beauty of the Western Region, the Queen of Essence.

In reality, there really are corpse-scented konjacs, scientifically called Titan konjacs or giant-flowered konjacs, with the world's largest unbranched inflorescence. In the blossom will emit a smell similar to the stench of the corpse, so there is a "corpse flower" alias. In the story, it is an exaggeration to make people hallucinate and kill each other, but in reality it is just a bad odor that can confuse insects.
