Chapter 006: Bizarre Crystal Book Coffin
"Be careful, don't slip!"
At night, the hazy moonlight shrouds Yufeng Mountain, and along the slope of the natural lake, archaeologists walk towards the bottom of the lake little by little. A month ago, it was a natural lake, but now it has been drained and turned into a large earthen pit.
The natural lake is nearly 50 meters deep, and the coffin is buried about 47 meters at the bottom of the lake.
The day before yesterday it had rained here, and the soil on the slope was still damp and a little muddy to walk on, so all the archaeologists changed into high boots and carefully walked in the direction of the bottom of the lake.
"Ah Xing, go slower and be careful of wrestling!"
Following the archaeological team, a few minutes later, Liu Xing also successfully reached the bottom of the lake, and at this time, a square hole appeared in front of him.
The side of the entrance to the cave is about two meters long, Liu Xing took a step forward and glanced into the cave, it was pitch black, and it seemed to be a long tunnel inside, but he didn't know where the tunnel would lead.
"This hole is the entrance to the book tomb, and the book coffin is placed inside. The light in the cave is faint, everyone be careful. ”
After a few simple words, the archaeologists walked into the cave one after another, Professor Juan was the first to enter, Liu Xing was the second, Liu Shiming was the third, and the other archaeologists followed, and a fat man who was responsible for carrying the lamp walked in the rear.
As soon as he walked into the cave, Liu Xing's chest was pounding, his breathing became short, and he couldn't help but feel some fear when he walked in such a strange dark tomb. Liu Shiming was worried that Liu Xing was running around, and kept holding Liu Xing's arm with both hands.
By the light of the lamp, Liu Xing looked around, the tunnel of the tomb was larger than he imagined, it was made of huge white rock, the rock was about ten meters long and two meters high, very smooth, with obvious traces of artificial excavation.
"This book tomb is really a big project, this huge rock has to weigh at least 100 tons, how much manpower and material resources to transport such a heavy rock to the top of the mountain, and then build such a long tunnel at the bottom of the lake at the top of the mountain?"
Looking at the huge rocks around the tunnel, Liu Xing secretly exclaimed in his heart, his doubts were also the doubts of other archaeologists.
Even now, with a high-tech civilization, it is not easy to transport so many hundred-ton boulders to the top of Yufeng Mountain.
The question in everyone's mind is: how was this tomb built, and who built it?
"There seems to be no road ahead, and it is already the very bottom of the tomb. ”
When he walked about fifty meters, Liu Xing stopped, squinted, and saw a white box on the ground of the cave in front of him, which was in a long style, about two meters long and about one meter wide, and the size looked similar to an ordinary coffin.
The whole body of the box is snow-white, the whole body is crystal clear, under the illumination of the light, it glows with a faint fluorescence, like a crystal, shining brightly, and it is particularly eye-catching.
"This is the book coffin that was just excavated?"
Liu Xing was a little curious, walked to the white box, and when he saw the smooth shell of the box, he couldn't help but reach out and want to touch it. At this time, Liu Shiming stopped it in time and whispered: "Ah Xing, don't touch it." ”
As he spoke, Professor Juan and other archaeologists also gathered around and stood around the white box, with the lighting equipment aimed at the box.
"Professor Hu, what is this box?"
"According to my analysis, this should be a coffin used to store books. ”
"This box has books in it?"
"It's just speculation...... Hmmm? This coffin seems a little strange. ”
Professor Juan bent down, holding a magnifying glass in his hand, and cautiously examined the white book coffin in front of him.
The surface of the entire coffin is immaculate and spotless, and it is hard to imagine that it has just been excavated from the ground. The coffin appeared to be completely enclosed, and Professor Juan searched the coffin up and down, left and right, and found no gaps or switches, like a giant white ice cream in a rectangular shape.
Professor Juan touched the outer shell of the coffin with his hand and found that the texture was very hard, and after a few gentle knocks, it made a crisp tinkling sound, as if it were knocked on a crystal.
"How do you open this coffin?"
After searching for a while, Professor Juan found nothing, and several other archaeologists were also at a loss. Since it is a book coffin, there should be an opening, but there is not a single crack in the shell.
"Could there be any mechanism for the coffin?"
Liu Xing suddenly burst out of his mouth, all the archaeologists looked at each other, Professor Juan pondered for a moment, and analyzed, "What the little ghost said is not impossible, the book coffin is a box used by ancient novelists to store books, and they may have designed a mechanism in the book coffin in order to prevent the book from being stolen." ”
Another archaeologist was puzzled: "But there seems to be nothing in the shell of this coffin, if there is a mechanism, where is this mechanism?"
Professor Juan proposed, "Let's all look for it!"
So, several archaeologists got busy, reached out and touched the shell of the coffin, knocked on it, and looked for the mechanism of the coffin.
Seeing that everyone was touching the coffin, Liu Xing was not polite, mixed among the archaeologists, fishing in troubled waters, stretched out his right hand, and gently touched the shell of the coffin with his fingers, slippery, icy, feeling like touching on the ice.
Airplanes!
Suddenly, the coffin shook slightly, everyone was startled, and at the same time took a few steps back, before everyone could react, there was an uproar, and the white light suddenly rushed up from the surface of the coffin, and the white light was a hundred times more dazzling than the lamp, and the space of the entire tomb was instantly illuminated, as if it was daytime, everyone was shaken so that they couldn't open their eyes, and they turned their heads to avoid.
In a moment, the white light gradually dimmed, and the tunnel returned to its original state.
"Tick-"
At this moment, a crisp electronic sound sounded in the cave, and the upper surface of the coffin lit up like a huge LCD screen.
Seeing this scene, everyone was a little dumbfounded, Liu Xing rubbed his eyes, and saw that the shell of the coffin seemed to have become an LCD screen, and there was a set of touch keyboards on the screen, which looked like a touch LCD screen.
"Tick, please enter your password. ”
The electronic sound sounded again, and a string of text appeared on the LCD screen on the surface of the coffin.
Password?
The archaeologists were stunned in place, this coffin was even stranger than they imagined, not only had an LCD screen, but also a password.
Professor Juan looked at the LCD screen of the coffin and said strangely: "This coffin seems to be a product of the technological age, and it is unlikely that it was made by people hundreds of years ago." ”
An archaeologist agreed: "Professor Hu is right, how could human beings have such advanced technology hundreds of years ago? But where did this coffin come from?"
Liu Xing touched the coffin, found that the shell was not as cold as before, with a hint of warmth, and said, "What is the password of the coffin?"
Everyone looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, Professor Juan said: "The origin of this coffin is unknown, how can we know what its password is?"
Liu Xingdao: "If it really doesn't work, just use a hammer to smash the ......"
Professor Juan glared at him: "Little ghost, don't mess around, this coffin is an unearthed cultural relic, how can it be smashed open?" looked at the prompt information displayed on the surface of the coffin, and the old face showed helplessness, "Since the coffin wants a password, let's just enter a few and give it a try, Shi Ming, you enter a few passwords to see." ”
"Hmm. Liu Shiming stood in front of the coffin, her dexterous fingers casually touching a few buttons on the touch screen on the surface of the coffin, and entering a password 1234567. ”
"Sorry, you entered the wrong password, please re-enter it. ”
“7654321。 ”
"Sorry, you entered the wrong password, please re-enter it. ”
“8888888。 ”
"Sorry, you entered the wrong password, please re-enter it. ”
……
Liu Shiming entered nine passwords one after another, but none of them were right, there was no change in the coffin, and the surrounding archaeologists couldn't help but shake their heads, couldn't this coffin be opened?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Liu Shiming entered the password for the tenth time, and the situation suddenly took a turn for the better.
"Sorry, you've entered your password incorrectly more than 10 times, do you want to use the password hint?"
Password hint function?
Liu Shiming decisively clicked on the "yes" option.
"Tick! password hint: Excuse me, who is the protagonist of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"
Seeing the string of words displayed on the coffin, Liu Shiming frowned slightly, thought for a while, and asked puzzledly: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes?
Professor Juan stepped forward, looked carefully at the information displayed on the coffin, scratched his head, and speculated, "Add a book title number, it seems to be the name of a book?"
"What is the title of the book?'The Legend of the Condor Heroes?, I've never heard of it. Liu Shiming looked at the surrounding archaeologists, "Have you heard of the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I didn't either, the first time I heard the title of the book today, what is the origin of the protagonist of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes?" The title of this book is strange, what is the eagle and why do you shoot it?"
"It's supposed to be a bird, right?"
"Let's not guess, go to the Internet to check. ”
At this point, an archaeologist took out his laptop that he was carrying, logged on to the Internet, and began to use a search engine to find information about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Liu Shiming, Professor Juan and other archaeologists all gathered around, their eyes focused on the computer screen.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"
Looking at the chaotic appearance of this group of people, Liu Xing, who was standing on the side, was also a little confused, and thought to himself: Isn't "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" just a martial arts novel written by Jin Yong? On the earth, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been remade into TV series many times, including the 1983 version by Huang Rihua, the 2003 version by Li Yapeng, and the 2008 version by Hu Ge...... It's strange, this is not the earth, how can there be "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
