Chapter 47: The Hanging Spring of the Sarcophagus
Ye Chen was dumbfounded at that time, he was really surprised. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the trees are scarce here, the vines do not decrease, and everywhere you look, they are all vines the thickness of a man's arm, and the craggy vines have a weathered pale green, and they are covered with turquoise leaves.
The most amazing thing is that the vines are intertwined with each other, spreading out from the branches, connecting with each other, tightly wrapped around a stone.
The stone was entangled in vines and hung in mid-air, not only in one place, but also in the next place, but the shape and size of the stone were slightly different.
There are large and small, and the position in mid-air is also high and low, and it is uneven.
Nature is really amazing, and at this moment, Ye Chen also has to admire the magic of nature.
However, when Ye Chen got closer, when Ye Chen saw clearly what the stones wrapped in the vines were, his mood was complicated, and he couldn't wait to jump to his feet and scold his mother.
Because of the stones entwined inside, the real situation was too unexpected for Ye Chen.
The stone is black, but it has a transparent texture, and the outer walls are carved with a variety of exquisite decorative patterns, which are as if they were naturally generated, without the slightest sense of stiffness.
However, this was not the reason for the shock, what really shocked Ye Chen was that the shape of this stone was clearly a sarcophagus.
This reminded Ye Chen that in a village in France, there was an ancient church, which was no different from the church in an ordinary village, but it was famous.
What makes it famous is a bizarre sarcophagus, and the history of this sarcophagus begins more than a thousand years ago.
Legend has it that at that time in this small village, there was a pair of brothers, who left the village when they grew up, and eventually both of them rose to prominence and became dukes, and during their lifetimes, they did a lot of things for their hometown.
After the brothers' deaths, the villagers wanted them to return to their roots, so they prepared a sarcophagus made of fine marble and shaped like a double sarcophagus, with a thin copper tube inserted at the bottom of the sarcophagus to allow them to breathe.
However, this alone did not make the village famous, and the reason why this sarcophagus attracted so many people was that one day, when a villager was about to leave after cleaning up his time, he was surprised to find a few drops of water coming out of a thin copper pipe.
Clear, transparent, like spring water.
More and more water gradually merges into a small spring.
Since then, the sarcophagus has been flowing crystal water every day, day and night.
Is it because the sarcophagus is waterlogged, or is there a spring under the sarcophagus, or does the sarcophagus have the ability to store water?
There are many theories, but there is no last one to explain this phenomenon.
More than 1,000 years have passed, and this sarcophagus will flow out of the spring every day, all year round.
And this small village has attracted countless people because of a magical sarcophagus, among which there are many scientists who want to solve the mystery, but years have passed, and the name of the sarcophagus is still unsolved.
This really surprised Ye Chen, because in the past, out of curiosity, he had also been to that village and seen the sarcophagus.
And the sarcophagus here is obviously more exquisite than the sarcophagus in that village, and the material is different, if the sarcophagus in that village can be seen at a glance, it is made of high-quality marble, and there are obvious traces of artificial carving, but the sarcophagus in front of you can not see what material is used, more like a natural formation.
A mouthful of sarcophagus, tightly wound by verdant vines, want to wrap the entire sarcophagus, hanging almost half a meter above the ground in the air, at the bottom of each sarcophagus, there is a hole the size of a person's eye, and the hole is opposite to each other.
Streams of clear, transparent, and crystalline water gushed out of it, and flowed right into a small pool below that did not seem to be formed naturally, causing ripples in circles.
Ye Chen looked at it carefully, and finally confirmed, it wasn't that he was dazzled, it was indeed a sarcophagus.
As an archaeologist, although Ye Chen has just entered the industry, he still knows a lot of professional knowledge in this area, and the sarcophagus in front of him is rare in the world, more exquisite than any sarcophagus he has seen.
The sarcophagus is like a natural one, unlike the sarcophagus in that village, although the coffin lid and coffin body are integrated because of the passage of time, but the discerning person can still see it at a glance, and I don't want the sarcophagus here, although it has the shape of a coffin, but it is impossible to tell which is the coffin lid and which is the coffin body.
The ancient vines are entangled, the shadows are abundant, and there is a mysterious atmosphere.
"It's time to get to the place," Wang Laohan pointed to the small waterhole with a smile, "If you have something, do it quickly, don't delay!"
Ye Chen swallowed his saliva and asked, "Don't worry, that, what is that?"
"Sarcophagus? can't you see it?" As far as his eyes came, Wang Laohan turned his head and asked suspiciously, how could he not see something obvious.
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched a few times, the sarcophagus, with the eyes of the young master, of course, it could be seen that this was not a strange look, and he wanted to confirm it again.
"It seems that you are quite curious about the sarcophagus," Wang Laohan took a few steps back, as if he looked at Ye Chen again, as if you asked me something, I knew everything, and said everything, "If you have any questions, just ask me!"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed, as if something was wrong, he didn't ask anything, how did this old man Wang see that he was curious, could it be that he was too obvious? Ye Chen recalled his actions just now, was it obvious? It was clearly not obvious at all.
It's a bit of a problem, but Ye Chen does have a lot of questions in his heart, and he is worried about how to open his mouth so that he won't be suspicious, this Wang Laohan gave him a suitable excuse, someone will send a pillow when he is really sleepy, such a good opportunity, how could Ye Chen let it be wasted.
Breathing a sigh of relief and sorting out his thoughts, Ye Chen knew what the most important question he should ask now, and asked with a smile: "I'm quite curious, is there anyone in the sarcophagus, how old are they, and how old are they?
Ye Chen stretched out three fingers and shook them in front of the old man Yu, smiling a little scoundrel, "I only ask these three questions, not much, don't play tricks!"
"I know!" Wang Laohan smiled and gently pushed away Ye Chen's three fingers: "I can only answer your last two questions, it's not that I don't help you, it's really that I don't know, you can go and ask the village chief." “
"It's okay, you can say it first!" Ye Chen looked very curious.
"Okay," Wang Laohan said with a smile: "If you want to say that this sarcophagus has existed for a long time, it is said that this sarcophagus has existed in this village before, as for the villagers to get water, I can only tell you that in my memory, the villagers have always come here to get water!"
