Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao searched all the way, and finally found the main tomb, and the moment they stepped into the tomb, they were all shocked, there was a large row of ancient wooden coffins inside, and those coffins were ship coffins.

Boat coffin, as the name suggests, is a kind of burial tool shaped like a canoe, which is rare in archaeological finds, and burial ship coffins are mainly popular in the Shu area of Cuba.

Therefore, the discovery of ship coffins around Shudu is very consistent with historical facts.

After seeing the row of coffins, Yi Yang walked over quickly, and Bai Wenchao followed.

This is undoubtedly a huge discovery, originally thought that there was no coffin in this place, who knew that there were not only in front of this, but also so many appeared, which was refreshing.

"Brother Yi Yang, these coffins still look very strong and very well preserved!" After approaching, Bai Wenchao looked at the coffins and said excitedly.

Yi Yang nodded and said: "Yes, they are all complete, they should not be made of ordinary materials, but special wood." ”

"These coffins are black and heavy, could they be made of ebony?" Bai Wenchao asked, "Ebony is getting stronger and stronger. ”

Yi Yang replied, "It may be." ”

Although he was not sure that the wood used in those coffins was the ebony that Bai Wenchao said, the characteristics were very consistent, such as "thousand-year-old ebony".

Bai Wenchao said happily: "If it is really ebony, it has been precipitated by more than 2,000 years of history, and it is very precious!" Hehe, not to mention the cultural relics in this cemetery, the value of these coffins alone is very high! We learned a lot from this trip! ”

Yi Yang nodded and smiled: "That's right, the harvest is great." Xiao Chao, let's take a good look at these coffins first and see if we can find anything else. ”

"yes, okay." Bai Wenchao replied.

Then the two of them shone their flashlights on the coffins and examined them carefully.

After some careful inspection, Yi Yang found that the coffins of those ships sank downward, and a large section of the bottom sank into the soil, probably because the coffins were too heavy, and the soil was loose and had been sinking for a long time.

After all, the Warring States period has a history of more than 2,000 years from now, which is a long time, and the position of the coffin will change a little.

"Brother Yi Yang, these coffins have all sunk into the soil." After seeing it clearly, Bai Wenchao spoke.

Yi Yang replied: "It's been so long, and it's normal to sag. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently touched a coffin beside him.

He grabbed and struck it, and then concluded, "You guessed right, this coffin must have been made of fine ebony, or it wouldn't have been so strong, and it wouldn't have been so well preserved." ”

"Yes?! That's not ordinary! Bai Wenchao's eyes lit up.

"Well, it should be." Yi Yang nodded, "Do you know, why there is a dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival?" ”

He said as he rubbed his fingers against the coffin, as if looking at something.

Bai Wenchao replied casually: "Isn't it just to commemorate Qu Yuan, the patriotic poet of the Chu State?" ”

Yi Yang said: "Everyone knows this, but do you know what the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival is for? ”

"It is said that in order to chase Qu Yuan's unjust soul buried in the water, the dragon boat race is the 'ghost boat'." Bai Wenchao replied.

Yi Yang smiled and shook his head: "No, the original intention of the dragon boat race is actually to chase the boat coffin, that is, to send the boat coffin to the funeral." You may also think that Qu Yuan, the great poet of Chu, committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, but in fact, he only used the special burial method of boat coffin burial after he died, which was related to the river, and was later misrepresented as he drowned by throwing himself into the water. ”

"I see!" Bai Wenchao suddenly realized, "If I hadn't heard you say this, I would have thought that Qu Yuan would have committed suicide by throwing himself into the river after writing the popular "Lisao". ”

Yi Yang said: "He did not commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, he should have died of a long life, but there are various theories, what it is, and it is impossible to investigate it now, but I believe that the boat coffin and the boat coffin burial have a lot to do with the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

"Well, it should be, it turns out that the legend of Qu Yuan's surrender to the Miluo River is just a miscommunication." Bai Wenchao nodded solemnly.

Yi Yang continued: "Boat coffin burial is divided into open burial and earth burial and water burial, open burial is mainly hanging coffin burial, we have seen it before, earth burial is the kind we see now, as for water burial, there are two ways, one is to sink the boat coffin to the bottom of the water, and the other is in the form of a canoe, put it on the water and let it drift. The ship coffin burial has the meaning of heaven, carrying the good wishes of the living to the dead. ”

"The coffin of this ship is very nailed, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to open." He then diverted the topic and said, at this moment he had already examined the coffin, and found that the whole coffin was even stronger than they imagined, it was simply indestructible, otherwise how could he have survived so many years and he was still so intact.

"What then?" Bai Wenchao asked, "Do you want to find a way to open it right away?" There are no cultural relics under the main burial chamber, and it is estimated that they are all inside the coffin, and they can only be found when they are opened. ”

Yi Yang shook his head lightly and said, "Don't worry, take a look again." ”

"Well, there's no hurry." Bai Wen hurriedly agreed.

After looking at the coffin, Yi Yang went to inspect the others, the other coffins were in a similar situation, there was nothing different.

When observing those ship coffins, Yi Yang secretly condensed his spirit, sensing the strong aura lingering around, he wanted to find the strongest one, and then follow the direction of the aura to find the heavy treasures hidden around.

"Ahh

Suddenly, I only heard Bai Wenchao exclaim, and then I saw his body leaning forward.

"Be careful!" Yi Yang suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed his shoulder, and pulled him back hard.

After being pulled back and standing firmly, Bai Wenchao was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... How is this going on?! There seems to be a ...... Somebody's pulling my feet like that! ”

Yi Yang smiled bitterly: "Where is there anyone?" You accidentally stepped into the pit and almost fell. ”

Following the direction that Yi Yang pointed, Bai Wenchao quickly saw it, and saw that there was a pit in front of it, but it was not big, as if he had just stepped out.

"Brother Yi Yang, the soil in front of you is very loose, and it is easy to step out of the pit, be careful." Bai Wenchao reminded.

Yi Yang nodded and said: "Well, I saw it, it may be too damp and the soil is loose, but it should be fine, this is not a swamp, no matter how deep it is, it will not sink people into it." Xiaochao, let's go around and take a look at the front. ”

After that, he spared the place where Bai Wenchao had just stepped on the air, and continued to explore ahead, just now he had sensed the strongest aura in it, and its direction was not far ahead, and the giant treasure it corresponded to should be found soon.

"Whoa!"

But Yi Yang's front foot had just stepped on it, and very quickly, the soil in front of him collapsed.

That blow was very strong, and Yi Yang's entire body involuntarily leaned forward.

"Brother Yi Yang, be careful!" Bai Wenchao, who was following closely behind, exclaimed, and in surprise, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Yi Yang's overturned body.

But that force was too great, where could he hold it, but instead followed Yi Yang and fell forward.

"Ahh

The place collapsed in a large area, as if there was a big trap down there, and the two of them took it lightly and fell into the hidden mechanism of the ancient tomb.

They don't know what danger lies in the trap, and they can't stop them from falling into the trap.

"Bang!" The two fell heavily to the ground under a meter.

Fortunately, there were no sharp weapons such as knives and halberds underneath this, and although I fell, I was not injured multiple times.

Soon the two of them turned over.

"Ah, monster!" The moment he stood up in a daze, Bai Wenchao screamed, as if he had seen a ghost.
