Volume 3 The Ghost Boat of the Sand Sea Chapter 76 The Banyan Tree

"Isn't this a banyan tree?" Ji Shanchuan saw the type of this big tree at a glance, "In addition to the banyan tree, I really don't know what kind of tree can grow into a forest alone!" ”

"But do you think it's weird?" Xu Yunshu suddenly said.

"What's weird?" Tanzi asked casually.

"It's underground, and you can't see a ray of sunlight all year round, but banyan trees need sunlight for photosynthesis. There is no sunlight here, but instead of dying, this banyan tree has grown so luxuriantly, have you ever wondered how it grows? Xu Yunshu asked, "Look at the leaves of this banyan tree, they are all dark green, has anyone ever seen this kind of banyan tree?" ”

"No~" Everyone said that they had never seen this kind of banyan tree.

"Hi~" Tanzi waved his hand at Xu Yunshu and said, "Why do you care so much?" You're an archaeologist, when did you become a botanist again? Studying why this banyan tree can live here, and why its leaves are dark green, is a botanist's business! As for you, don't you worry about it, huh? ”

Xu Yunshu thought about it, so she didn't continue to dwell on this matter.

"Ahh Che Dong, what are you doing? This water cannot be drunk! Zhang Deming's voice came from there.

It turned out that after wandering around the waterhole for a while, the owner suddenly squatted down, scooped up the water in the waterhole with his hands and drank it. Zhang Deming thought that Che Dong was crazy with thirst, and hurriedly dissuaded him.

At this time, the owner of the car stood up, wiped his mouth and said, "The water in this pool is fresh water, you can drink it!" As soon as he said this, all the people ran to the edge of the waterhole, bent down and took a handful of water and tasted it.

As soon as the water entered our mouths, we knew that it was indeed drinkable fresh water, and not only that, but the water was very clean all year round, and it tasted sweet and cool, as if we had never drunk such good water. All of us lay on our stomachs on the edge of the pool and drank as if we would never be able to drink water again.

Each of us drank until the water reached our throats, and then we stopped. Then everyone filled their water bottles with the pool. Everyone knows that after this village, it is uncertain when there will be another shop. So not only water bottles, but also utensils that can be used to hold water, all of them are poured out and used to hold water.

Che Dong took Huo Ming and Luan Kun along this cave hall for a whole circle, and finally came back to report to Jin Yuxiang that there was no other exit from this cave except the road we entered.

"How is this possible?" Jin Yuxiang shouted, "Isn't this a tomb?" How could there be no main burial chamber and no coffin inside? This is the mausoleum of King Loulan......"

Xu Yunshu walked up and said to Jin Yuxiang: "Mr. Jin, although this may be the mausoleum of Gejia, the king of Loulan, Gejia was overthrown after all, and maybe his tomb was not completely built when he was killed......

"Even if it's not finished, there should be a coffin, right? Even if there is not even a coffin, there should always be a corpse, right? It can't even be that the corpses were crushed by the rebels, right? Jin Yuxiang said a little angrily.

Xu Yunshu said: "That's not it, if the skulls in the seven sarcophagi outside are really from the Gejia family, then he should be left with a corpse, at least there should be a skull." Even some inconsequential person can keep his head, let alone a king? ”

"This king is bad enough!" "The tomb is not like a tomb, and there is not even a decent burial object to be seen, and now there is not even a coffin...... Maybe it's just to find a broken mat in this hole, roll it, dig a pit and bury it...... As an emperor and like him, I'm also drunk! ”

"What then?" The owner of the car asked Jin Yuxiang to say.

"Find me! I don't believe that the first monarch of Loulan didn't even have a corpse left? Jin Yuxiang said, "Didn't Miss Xu say it too?" There should be a corpse...... It's just that we didn't find out. Find it, find it all for me! ”

Everyone went round and round in this hole and found nothing.

Half an hour later, everyone returned to the waterhole to drink water and rest.

Jin Yuxiang anxiously asked, "What did everyone find?" Or do you want to find something strange? ”

"Strange place?" The altar and I sat back to back, "I think the strangest place here is this pool and this tree!" Nothing else! ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, and Jin Yuxiang heard what the altar said, and really began to look at the big banyan tree in the center of the pond. He used a searchlight to shine on the trunk of the banyan tree, which he could not see very clearly because the bank of the pond was still some distance from the big banyan tree. But Jin Yuxiang vaguely felt that there was something strange about the trunk of the banyan tree.

"Look, look! There seems to be a square bulge on the trunk of the banyan tree...... "Jin Yuxiang cried out......

We also picked up flashlights and searchlights one after another, and shone them towards the trunk of the banyan tree, which was indeed a little strange as Jin Yuxiang said.

The altar was a little disapproving: "What's wrong with Fang Fangzheng, maybe this banyan tree will grow like this!" Nature's miraculous work is beyond human imagination! ”

Jin Yuxiang ignored the strange words of the altar, he handed the searchlight to Che Dong, asked him to hold it, took out his binoculars himself, and looked at the trunk of the tree. Jin Yuxiang's telescope originally had night vision, so the lack of light had no effect, plus we had searchlights and flashlights here to help him shine, so there should be no problem.

Jin Yuxiang looked at it with a telescope for a long time and didn't speak, I don't know if he didn't notice it or couldn't see clearly.

Che Dong found that Jin Yuxiang's hands holding the telescope were trembling slightly, and he stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Jin, are you okay?" ”

I only heard Jin Yuxiang say in an excited voice: "Yes!" Be! I guessed right! That's right! In the middle of the trunk of the banyan tree is a coffin sandwiched between the trees! Now I have finally found the right master! ”

"Coffin...... Caught in the middle of a tree trunk? "We took turns to take the binoculars in Jin Yuxiang's hand to look, and sure enough, we saw a coffin standing upright, tightly wrapped by the banyan tree in the center of the pond, and only the front of the coffin was exposed.

"So what's next?" Zhang Deming asked a little confused.

"What should I do?" Jin Yuxiang said, "Of course I opened the coffin and looked at it!" ”

"Mr. Jin, the banyan tree is in the middle of the pool, but there is no place to settle in the pool, if you want to open the coffin, with the conditions we have now, I'm afraid it will not be easy!" The owner of the car has always been the only one who obeys the order of Jin Yuxiang and has never said a word. Now it seems that it is indeed difficult for him to express it so euphemistically.
