I helped him sit down, looked at him and said, "Sir, you have a serious cold and a fever."
"That was a nervous hallucination. No one here is crying or laughing."
"You just sit here and rest, and I will open the coffin."
Baotou is over 70 years old this year, and his body has always been strong, so that I often ignored him, ignoring that he was actually an old man with half of his body buried in the ground.
We didn't bring cold medicine or antipyretics. I held my head and leaned it in my arms, trembling all over. My eyes were closed and my teeth were chattering. At this moment, he didn't have the majesty and cunningness of the Northern Silver Fox, and he was just an ordinary old man.
I looked at the big red coffin, and a sudden anger arose in my heart.
It's still flowing, it's still fucking flowing, right? I'll let you flow!
Let Ah Chun take care of it, I quickly walked aside, rummaged through the bag I brought with me, and found the bottle of Lulu.
Place the Lulu bottle next to the coffin and make everyone retreat to the corner.
I stepped back five meters and raised my shotgun.
Watching the yellow water flowing out of the coffin wet the Lulu bottle.
I took aim and pulled the trigger directly.
The bullet hit the Lulu bottle.
Just hear a loud bang!
I underestimated the power of the nitroglycerin prepared by Master Ji. The blast caused me to fall down. One end of the red coffin was blown open. Broken wooden boards flew into the air more than two meters high. Then I fell heavily to the ground, almost hitting me.
On Ah Chun's head.
"Crash!"
The yellow water in the coffin is like a reservoir that has opened its gates. Instead of flowing, it sprays out directly. There is water everywhere on the ground.
Douyazai stood up and exclaimed: "Damn it! The coffin has turned into a fountain! Where can there be so much water! Damn it! Even Shui De Xingjun's magic weapon can't contain it so well!"
I wiped some water on my face and walked quickly over to take a look.
The thickness of the coffin's boards is astonishing. Judging from the blasted fracture, the cross-sectional area exceeds fifteen centimeters.
It's all filled with water, and you can't see any burial objects or bones inside. One end of the coffin has been blown apart, and yellow water is gushing out like a faucet.
groundwater?
Why did all the groundwater run into the coffin?
I also saw that a fairly thick layer of tung oil was applied to the inner layer of the coffin for waterproofing. This layer of tung oil can be dated to the late Warring States Period.
Chen Hugong lived from the late Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Warring States period. There was a small time gap of several hundred years. He could not have lived for hundreds of years. It is possible that one of his descendants in the late Warring States period moved the tomb here.
"Mineko!"
"What are you thinking about?"
"What are we going to do next! The water is going to cover our feet!" Dou Sprout said loudly.
Listening to the sound of rushing water, I lowered my head and looked at my feet. I gritted my teeth and said loudly: "I'll get in and take a look!"
"As soon as you find something is wrong! Pull me out immediately!"
Dou Yazai rolled up his trouser legs and said, "Fengzi, you are going to swim in a coffin. Are you good at water? How about I do it?"
I said no, listen to me now.
"Xiaoxuan, hold on to the head and take good care of the head."
There was a fierce energy.
I wanted to find out what was going on in the coffin and where all the water came from.
Putting on a headlamp, I took a few deep breaths, held my breath in, and then plunged into the coffin against the spray of water!
The water pushed me outward. I puffed up my cheeks and swam forward one meter while holding on to the broken part. With the light of the waterproof lamp, I tried my best to open my eyes and look around under the water.
I saw...
On the inner layer of the coffin, a long strip was carved, like a stone tablet, and small characters could be faintly seen written on it. Because the water was yellow and turbid, it was difficult to see what was written.
I tried to get closer this time, and I could see clearly this time. There were two rows of characters, but I couldn't understand them. I only knew that they were either big seal characters or gold seal characters.
Many bronzes from the Warring States Period had this type of calligraphy 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 realized that this was what happened.
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? It makes people build 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?
In ancient times, many people 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. Going forward, I don't know what the current Yongzhou area was 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 between 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.
