As the strong water washed away, most of the dirt attached to the coffin quickly fell away, revealing more details.
It can be clearly seen that there are densely packed strange symbols engraved on the coffin, and these symbols are combined into many Bagua patterns.
"Old Hu, is this related to Bagua?" After seeing these graphics, Chen Ziyan turned to look at Hu Bayi.
"It seems to be a pattern in the Book of Changes." Hu Bayi said with some uncertainty.
Although these symbols formed a Bagua pattern, they were different from what he remembered, so he was a little uncertain for a while.
Chen Ziyan knew that he needed time to verify, so he did not rush to ask for the answer and continued to look at the turtle carcass under the coffin.
It can be seen from the lines exposed on the edge of the tortoise shell that there is also a mystery on it.
But because of the existence of the coffin, we couldn't see it too clearly.
Chen Ziyan was not too anxious. After taking the tools from Wang Kaixuan next to him, he began to circle around the coffin, wanting to open the coffin and take a look.
At present, it is difficult to find something more valuable from the surface. It is better to put the target in the coffin, maybe the things inside will be better preserved.
Although the coffin had been at the bottom of the sea for countless years, after inspection, he found that the gap in the coffin lid had only been sealed in the simplest way.
Although it is tightly sealed, it is not difficult to open it.
But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Ziyan realized that if the coffin in front of him had been decided to be put into the sea from the moment it was built, then this sealing method would indeed work.
After all, the pressure in seawater is so strong that it would be very difficult to open the coffin without salvaging it. As long as the corrosion resistance is maintained, it will definitely not lose to other materials.
In the final analysis, it is just to seal the gap in the coffin, and there are only so many methods that can be used.
After finding out the condition of the coffin, Chen Ziyan directly used his probing claw to pry open the lid of the coffin. When the heavy lid was removed, the scene inside the coffin was revealed.
The first thing that catches the eye is another set of slightly smaller coffins. Compared with the outer coffin that has been severely corroded by sea water, the condition of the coffins inside is better.
Not only are the engraved figures on it intact, but even the material itself has not changed. It can be seen at a glance that it is made of warm jade.
After seeing the situation inside the coffin, Chen Ziyan directly confirmed his previous idea that this was a set of jade coffins.
Because not only was the coffin inside made of jade, he also saw the faint remaining green color on the inner wall of the coffin outside.
"The pattern on this is similar to the one on the jade statue you collected on the island." At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly said.
Because she was in charge of repairing the jade statue, she remembered the image above relatively clearly. When she saw the carvings on the coffin, she immediately connected them.
"Lao Hu, what do you think?" Chen Ziyan did not express an opinion, but looked at Hu Bayi again.
As the Yi Xue expert in the team, it is natural to consult the other party's opinion at this time.
"If I read it correctly, it should be the same hexagram." Hu Bayi sounded more certain this time. After taking a closer look, he said to the people beside him: "Although the ancient hexagram is more complicated and difficult, in general it is the same as the hexagram.
Today's hexagrams are consistent. The translation of the hexagrams above is: Shock up and down, shocking hundreds of miles."
He then told others that he could only calculate up to this point. After all, sometimes to deduce hexagrams, other aspects of information were needed, and the slightest mistake would lead to wildly different results.
However, one thing Hu Bayi is sure of is that whether the set of coffins in front of him or the previously discovered jade statue, the hexagrams on them are related to the legendary "Guixu" on the seabed.
Hearing what he said, Chen Ziyan nodded slightly, which was no different from what he knew.
Now he has recalled the origin of the coffin in front of him.
"The coffin inside is difficult to open with the tools we have now. If you are not careful, it will be destroyed. It is better to wait until we get back."
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan said this.
It's not that he doesn't want to find out, it's just that he really doesn't have a better way.
There are no obvious gaps in the coffin inside. Although it can be pried open directly with the vaginal claw, both the coffin cover and the coffin body will be damaged.
This was not the result he wanted.
Besides, the most important thing inside the coffin is probably the hexagram that has been discovered. You can look at the contents at any time, so I thought of going back and opening the coffin again.
But as soon as he said these words, Shirley Yang next to him said: "I have a way."
Hearing this, Chen Ziyan looked over in surprise and saw Shirley Yang taking out a ball of crystal silk thread from her pocket and said:
"After I went back this time, I sorted through the things left behind by my grandfather and found a lot of good things in them. This special silk thread was made just for this situation."
"This is...xuansi?" Chen Ziyan looked at the silk thread in her hand and asked hesitantly.
The suspensory wire is a lost tool. It was first developed by doctors and was used in pulse diagnosis. Later, because of its extremely tough material, it was favored by some underground workers and slowly expanded into new uses.
.
It's just that this thing is extremely difficult to make, and the technique is very mysterious. It is only spread within a very small range, so even Chen Ziyan only knows its name.
