Many bronzes from the Warring States Period had this kind of writing on them, but I rarely encountered them and couldn't recognize them.
My face hurt from the water. I looked down for a few seconds and suddenly understood, it turned out to be like this.
In order to store water, the coffin lid was made into a sealed one-piece, which is what the coffin lid looks like. Under this, there is a rectangular waist pit about half a meter long and more than 30 centimeters wide. There is a continuous flow of water in the coffin.
It comes up from under the waist pit.
This shows that the pit is very deep.
I couldn't hold on any longer, and as soon as I let go, I was washed away by the current.
I was gasping for air, soaked all over, and there was a lot of yellow mud on my hair and clothes.
The water was clear at first, but now it suddenly starts to become muddy.
"Yun... Yunfeng, what did you see, tell me," Baotou asked me with a weak expression, holding his hand on the wall.
After hearing what I said, he shook his head and said, "You should remember it. Show me the row of characters you saw. I know some of the big seal characters."
Now the floor of the tomb was full of water. I dipped my fingers in the water and wrote a few words on the coffin.
Apart from the crookedness of what I wrote, the strokes should not be much different.
The water stains dried quickly.
He tried it with his head and said intermittently: "I don't recognize the first character."
"What about Xiaohe Wuling, people built stone statues, and Ying pools..."
"I can't understand it, it's too complicated." There was another sentence at the end, saying that he couldn't recognize it completely.
I basically couldn't understand it, but I only understood three words, "move to Hu Gong".
Who is Shu?
Many people in ancient times had one-character names. Is your surname Guixia? Your first name is Shu?
Is Xiaohe Wuling a place name or what?
The stone builders may be referring to the construction of Gui Zai stone sculptures.
The last one is "媵(ying) pool". If I remember correctly, this character "媵" during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period specifically refers to the bride's wedding gifts, such as bronzes, jade jewelry, etc., which are now in the museum.
In the past, this kind of thing was called "媵器."
Guizailing has been a mystery forgotten by history for many years. It cannot be clarified in a few words here.
He coughed violently twice and speculated, "I need to check the historical data after I get out. The Chen Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period existed for more than five hundred years. Shu is probably a king of a certain generation of the Chen Kingdom."
"Cough! Cough!"
"Dao... Dao County started to be called Daozhou 2100 years ago. If we go back further, we don't know what the current Yongzhou area is called. I speculate that Xiaohe Wuling refers to the current Tianguangdong area."
"Baotou, please speak slowly." Xiaoxuan patted Baotou on the back distressedly.
He took a deep breath and analyzed it in one breath: "I have never heard of the Xiangchi. I don't know what it is. I can only guess that it is the pool at the bottom of the coffin and under the waist pit."
"The skeleton of Chen Hugong was first found in Zhoukou. It was mentioned in Su Dongpo's poem that it was an iron tomb and an iron coffin, and it was buried under the water."
"Then...after moving here, he might have been buried under the water."
After hearing this, Dou Sprout said loudly: "Then what should we do? This place is not big. If the flow continues like this, sooner or later the whole place will be flooded! We must not drown if we stay here!"
"Your IQ is negative?" Xiaoxuan said: "We blew the door open and the water rose and flowed out. How could we drown you?"
I said yes, and after that I walked over to take a look, and specifically checked the door.
I predict that if we stay too long and the water reaches our thighs, it will flow out through the door.
"Oh...that's not right..."
I held up the flashlight and looked back.
We opened a hole in the middle of this seventh door, and the interior is covered with spider web-like cracks. The cartoon smiling face on the previous door is also there. I joked before that this smiling face looks like a big-eared Tutu.
But now, when I look back, it may be because the cracks have extended.
"Big Ears Tutu" is no longer smiling.
His expression now became very cold, and he stared at me angrily.
