I turned back to him and said, "Uncle Zhu, I was just going to find you. She has a flashlight in her backpack. Can you borrow it? We want to go find Xi Shi's tomb."
Zhu Junxuan looked at me, then at Li Qianyu, and said, "I can't give you the flashlight. But I can take you there. If that Xi Shi tomb is really here."
I quickly asked him, is there any higher ground here?
"There are three places. Which one are you asking about?"
Li Qianyu heard me explain my reasoning about the location of Xishi's tomb on the yacht. She was probably afraid that I would mislead Zhu Junxuan and hinder her plan to find Xishi's tomb. Before I could change her mind, she continued: "Then is there a very tolerant person?"
platform?”
"There are two of them," Zhu Junxuan said.
I knelt down, picked up a shell on the side of the road, handed it to Zhu Junxuan and said, "Uncle, please draw a picture of this place for me to see."
Zhu Junxuan also squatted down and drew on the ground: "Two platforms, side by side like this." As he said that, he drew a line, and then drew two square boxes spaced apart along the line.
That's right, these are two of the three dock platforms drawn on the "London Regional Map". I asked: "In this map, what are the four directions of east, west, north and south?"
"This is the north," Zhu Junxuan said while drawing an arrow pointing upward at a slight angle next to the picture, roughly perpendicular to the curve, and said.
"How do you know this is the north in this dark place?" Li Qianyu said.
Zhu Junxuan didn't speak. I explained: "It's very simple. In ancient times, houses were arranged to face north and south. Just look at the direction of the doors of most houses and you will know where south is. Uncle Zhu, those three higher places are
Where?"
Zhu Junxuan thought for a while and said: "Here, here, here, these three places." As he spoke, he marked each one on the map.
I looked carefully at the two squares representing the dock yard, pointed to the east one, and said, "What is the approximate relationship between this place... and the mud hole left by the spring?"
"Probably due north." Zhu Junxuan marked the location of the mud cave opening on the map and said.
I pointed to one of the highlands and said, "Uncle Zhu, please take us to this place!"
Zhu Junxuan nodded and said: "Let's go!" After that, he stood up and led us to get Li Qianyu's backpack, took out the flashlight from inside, and then headed towards the destination.
Walking on the road, we were all silent at first. Li Qianyu couldn't bear it and said to Zhu Junxuan: "Uncle Zhu, if you find Xi Shi's tomb, will you let us go?"
Zhu Junxuan looked back at her and said expressionlessly: "You don't belong here. If you want to leave, just leave."
Li Qianyu said: "Yesterday I heard Feina say that there is a road leading to the sea here. Is it true?"
"Nonsense. How about we go there to catch fish to eat?" Zhu Junxuan replied angrily.
"Hehe," Li Qianyu was not angry at Zhu Junxuan's indifferent tone at all, and still said sweetly, "Then are we going to leave from there too?"
Zhu Junxuan squeezed out an "um" from his nose.
"So, Uncle Zhu, you and Feina can go back to the outside world through that passage? Why do you still stay in this damn place? You're so scared of people!"
Zhu Junxuan did not answer. Of course I knew that he was worried that once he returned to the outside world, his past actions would lead to him being thrown into prison immediately.
He just didn't know that if he really returned to society, he might become the focus of the news and become a well-known public figure. A man who escaped the persecution of the Cultural Revolution Red Guards and lived in an undersea castle for decades for love?
This kind of news is simply the favorite of the media. As soon as it is exposed by major newspapers, a team of behind-the-scenes promoters will immediately contact you. Do you want to be famous? Do you want to be a spokesperson? Do you want to live in a mansion and drive a luxury car? Come, we will help you realize your dream.
!But with Zhu Junxuan’s character, he may be afraid of avoiding these.
Li Qianyu still continued indifferently: "Even if Uncle Zhu doesn't want to go out, Feina is still young after all. How can you bear to let her..."
Zhu Junxuan suddenly stopped, turned around, stared at Li Qianyu fiercely and said, "Don't sway Feina. If you dare to coax her and let her go with you, I will twist your head off."
Li Qianyu quickly stuck out his tongue and said: "Uncle Zhu, don't be angry, I'm just saying! Hehe..." In the blink of an eye, he started to act cute.
This time we went to Xi Shi's tomb, and we had to rely more on his help. Naturally, Li Qianyu knew the importance, so he kept silent immediately.
After bypassing many private houses, we finally arrived at the high ground.
This is a hill-like highland. Because it is not steep, a few of us climbed up without any effort. There is a round low building on it, and there is a stone monument in front of it. Unfortunately, it has been broken. I held a flashlight and climbed up.
I searched around the bottom of the mountain, and sure enough I found a stone lying underneath. When I turned it over and looked at the front, I saw that the three big characters on it were in small seal script. It said exactly: "Fish God Altar".
I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart and said: "Look at these three words, it says Fish Shrine. It is right here, it is it!"
Zhu Junxuan looked at the mountain bag and said: "This is Xi Shi's tomb? Isn't it written on the fish altar?"
I hurriedly explained a few words to her, then climbed back to the top of the mountain. This circular building was made of many large rocks, glued together in the middle. I found a sharp stone and dug some glue from the cracks.
He came out and said: "This colloid is impermeable to water. Although this place is soaked in sea water, the contents inside may not be damaged!"
Li Qianyu looked at the large stacked rocks and said that even if there was no rot inside, we couldn't pry it open.
I put the flame of the oil lamp close to the colloid, and it melted in a short while. I said: "These colloids cannot withstand the direct burning of the flame. As long as we keep using the fire to bake them, they can melt them. If we remove the stones, they can be melted."
Take out what's inside."
The thing inside is of course the coffin containing Xi Shi's body.
Soon, Zhu Junxuan brought a jar. The gelatinous substance inside was the fat he roasted from the bodies of sea fish. It was very flame-resistant. The three of us took three small bowls and burned them little by little.
Finally, all the glue around a stone was burned away. It took a lot of effort to move it down.
We looked inside and saw that it was all white soil. I twisted it a little and said, "What is this?"
Zhu Junxuan smelled it and said: "This is chalk soil, used to isolate the air and prevent corrosion."
It was getting better and better, and we continued to burn. One piece, two pieces, three pieces... Gradually, we moved all the top stones away. A white semicircular object appeared in front of us.
With victory right in front of us, we scraped away the chalky soil layer by layer, gradually revealing a dark brown coffin. This coffin was placed upright inside.
Li Qianyu shouted happily: "Move it out quickly!"
The reason why she was so excited was simply that during the process of opening the fish altar, we found no traces of previous man-made damage. In this case, Xi Shi's body must be in this coffin.
However, this coffin is really not flattering: it is just built with rotten door panels, and it has been dilapidated to an incredible extent. If it contains Xi Shi, the first of the four beauties, this coffin is like a piece of hair made of hair.
Moldy bread is the same as fine caviar, it doesn't go well with it at all.
I frowned and thought to myself, "Why is it so shabby? Did people deliberately make it like this in order to preserve Xi Shi's body in a low-key manner?"
If you knew that Xishi, the most beautiful woman in ancient times and the most beautiful woman in the world, was buried here, wouldn't you be curious about what she looked like? Wouldn't you want to dig her out and take a look? Maybe people just keep her in a low profile.
They didn't dare to name the tomb "Xi Shi's Tomb", but could only vaguely call it "Fish Shrine". Thinking about it this way, this broken coffin does make sense.
Li Qianyu didn't answer, just stared at the coffin and closed her lips tightly.
Zhu Junxuan inserted the dagger into the crack of the coffin. The dagger had a dark green handle and was a military dagger. It was stained with rust. He probably brought it in with him when he fell into the hole. He looked at me and said,
Nodding slowly, he slapped his wrist hard, and the coffin opened. My curiosity was raised in my throat - is Xishi still there? What does her body look like now?
The lid of the coffin was lifted. Li Qianyu glanced inside first, screamed in surprise, and fell to the ground.
What happened? Xi Shi turned into a white-haired rice dumpling?
I quickly looked inside...
I couldn't help but gasp. This is indeed not a fantasy story or a tomb robbing legend. This is real nature.
The strong rancid smell hit your face, almost making you unable to open your eyes, your stomach was churning, and you just wanted to vomit. Lying in the coffin was a skeleton that, although still slightly moist, had all the flesh and skin disintegrated.
, lying in the corpse fluid that was still flowing everywhere. This corpse fluid originally accumulated at the bottom of the coffin, and just when we leveled the coffin, it flowed to the head of the skeleton.
On the head of this skeleton, the nose has completely rotted away, leaving only two black holes. The eyes are no exception. Those two deep eye sockets look particularly terrifying. The teeth are exposed and the vertebrae joints on the neck are hidden.
Among the tattered green fabrics on the body. But now that it has seen the oxygen-rich air, it has become fragile and breaks into pieces as soon as you reach out and touch it.
The entire wet corpse was visually estimated to be about 167 centimeters tall, which was considered tall among ancient women. Of course, it was completely incomparable with today's models. I endured my nausea and said, "Okay, judging from this skeleton, she
Her body proportions are very good, and according to fashionable terms, she has a standard nine-head body."
Li Qianyu raised her head, rolled her eyes at me, and said, "Can you tell? No matter, go get something and put her up!"
I really don’t understand what use does she and her organization have for this disgusting withered skeleton? I thought before that there would still be a mummy or something left. But I didn’t expect that it had already rotted to the point where only the skeleton was left.
.If it was a mummy, maybe that super pervert Wang Yongshun could apply corpse wax on her body, pressurize and heat it, and let the corpse wax penetrate into her body and restore it to its original state, but there is not even a bit of flesh left.
I am afraid that no matter how much we mess around with, there is nothing we can do to save the skeleton. Even if we use the most advanced technology to draw a restoration diagram based on the skeleton model. For our beloved boss Chen Ziqi, such a restoration diagram is very important.
What is it for? Is it hanging in the bedroom of the villa in the Workers' Cultural Palace in Western Shanghai, and looking at the restored picture every day to masturbate?
