I don’t know what material the coffin on the ship is made of. It looks transparent, like glass. I can clearly see what’s going on inside the coffin from the outside.

Buried in this coffin was a man wearing Miao costumes. His face was so lifelike that it was impossible to tell whether he was really dead or fake, let alone when he died.

Maybe it was thousands of years ago, or maybe it was just a few days ago.

"This coffin is actually transparent! But why didn't I see it at all when I took a flashlight on the shore?"

"Xuanshui Jade."

"What?" I didn't understand.

"The boat coffin is made of xuanshui jade." Shang Qingyun repeated.

Xuan Shui Jade?

I do know about water jade. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas. Nanshan Jing" records: Magpie Mountain is three hundred miles east, called the Mountain of Tangting. It has a lot of wood, a lot of white apes, a lot of water jade, and a lot of gold.

The water jade mentioned here refers to jade that looks like water. In other words, it is more crystal clear than jade. Many geologists believe that this is a quartz crystal mineral, possibly a crystal.

For now, let’s just think that water jade is crystal.

What is Xuan Shui Jade? Black crystal?

"Water jade is crystal clear, but xuanshui jade is clear when viewed up close, and its vision is like black iron." Shang Qingyun said.

I understood when he said this.

Crystal is as transparent as glass whether viewed from a distance or close up. But the so-called mysterious crystal is different, it has no light transmittance.

It's not strictly forbidden to say this. It should be said that it has no light transmittance at a certain distance. Whether you look at it from a distance with a flashlight or with the naked eye, it looks like solid wood and looks black. But when you look up close, it looks different from ordinary crystal.

There is no difference. This sounds very unscientific, but it is true in front of my eyes. Anyway, this road is both a dragon palace and a bug. It can no longer be explained by science and unscientific. All the scientists have long died of anger on the road.

.

I squatted next to the stone coffin and looked around. I found that the person buried inside seemed to be pillowing a box. The shape of the box seemed familiar to me: "Qingyun, what is that pillow behind his head?"

Shang Qingyun was sitting cross-legged on the other side of the boat. He was leaning on the side of the boat. Hearing this, Shang Qingyun was stunned: "Huh?"

This is the first question word I have heard in all the time I have known him.

Shang Qingyun suddenly jumped up from the bow of the boat and pulled out his long sword.

His move really startled me. I thought something had happened again, or there was something evil about the water that even Shang Qingyun had fallen into.

The second fat man's stupid skills before were greatly enhanced by the Flower Gu on the other side. If it were Shang Qingyun, I'm afraid there won't be any scum left.

But I saw that Shang Qingyun's eyes were clear, not even a trace of turbidity, let alone rolling his eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Shang Qingyun didn't answer me, he just frowned, stared at the Miao man lying in the jade coffin, and said word by word: "We got on the wrong boat."

"On the wrong boat? But I think these boats are all the same." I said.

Shang Qingyun shook his head: "Gu."

"Gu?" I immediately realized that he was talking about the box, "You said there are bugs in this box? That doesn't matter. I won't be bitten by the bugs. You hide behind me. Hehe, I can too now.

Protecting you."

"No." Shang Qingyun jumped over the jade coffin and stood in front of me, "The Gu belongs to this person."

My heart skipped a beat.

Having been with Shang Qingyun for so long, I can almost understand what he wants to express.

What he means is that this Miao man will also be controlled by the Gu insects like he did in the Sevenfold Tomb, and then——

Raise the body.

Bang!

I heard a very clear crash.

I clearly never saw any movement from the dead body in the jade coffin!

"What, what's happening?" I hid behind Shang Qingyun, my legs shaking.

"Cheated."

"Cheated? Who?"

"One of my boats is safe on the shore, but the hook has caught the other one."

"Let me go, your eyesight is at the level of an astronomical telescope, isn't it said that light is opaque at a certain distance? How did you see it?" Although I know it is inappropriate, I just want to complain...

At the same time, Shang Qingyun's words made me think deeply and become extremely frightened.

On the shore, I saw a boat without insect poison, but the hook hook caught the boat with insect poison.

It was as if someone was observing us secretly and secretly changed the boat we hooked.

Could it be said that these ships themselves are conscious and intelligent? They know that we want to take a safe ship, so they deceive us visually?

Or... these boats seem to have no boatmen, but they are actually controlled by the "people" in the jade coffin?!

The more I think about it, the creepier I feel.

What makes my hair stand on end is that when we were extremely vigilant about the jade coffin in front of us, we ignored that there was an entire fleet sailing together on the Wangchuan River.

They seemed to confirm my thoughts. Those ships suddenly changed their course. Although their bows were still forward, these ship coffins were able to ignore the resistance of the water and move towards us.

In an instant, we were surrounded by dozens of boats carrying Xuanshui Jade Coffins.

I used my flashlight to shine on the jade coffins on the ships surrounding us, and found that the dead bodies in these jade coffins were all lying quietly. Where did the crashing sound come from?

Bang!

I heard the crash again. From the sound, I could roughly judge that it came from behind me on the left. I quickly turned around and pointed the light at the place where the sound came from, but there was nothing strange there.

Before I could take a breath, a new impact came again, this time from my right rear. I turned around quickly, but there was still nothing special.

It's like someone is playing hide and seek with us, and this person is extremely fast.

The strangest thing was that Shang Qingyun didn't seem to have any reaction. He kept looking at the jade coffin on the boat we were on from the beginning to the end. It seemed that in his eyes, the coffins and the noise around him didn't exist.

I began to wonder if I was hallucinating again.

But soon, I had no time to think about it.

The sound came again, more frequently than before.

ahead.

rear.

left.

right.

Left front.

Right front.

Up, down, left, right, east, south, west, north.

In the end, the crashing sounds merged into one.

I can't tell.

It seems to be everywhere.

The sound is getting closer and closer.

I feel it next to me.

On top of my head.

At my feet.

behind me.

In front of me.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The sound is getting louder and louder.

It's coming close!

"Squat down!"

Shang Qingyun shouted loudly, and I squatted down with my head in my hands.

At the same time, Shang Qingyun waved his sword, twisted around, and the sharp blade almost swept past my knuckles.

"Ouch!"

I heard screams coming from behind me, and the smelly liquid splashed all over me like rain from the sky.

I turned my head and saw a black figure staggering into the water behind me. What was left at my feet was a round object. Then I saw clearly in the faint light refracted by the river that it was a human head.

To be precise, it was the head of a corpse. There was no trace of blood flowing out from the incision on the neck where the head was cut off, as if it had been cut off for a long time.
To be continued...
