Volume 1 Immortal Mountain Ruins Chapter 66 Ninety-Nine Lotus Blossom

"Don't be idle, scatter these glowsticks and shine them on!" Zhang Yuheng commanded.

Those glow sticks are filled with two chemical agents, and when they are mixed together, they light up and can be used for a long time, and they are usually used in caves. We had glowsticks scattered around the burial chamber, and soon the burial chamber was a little brighter, at least not jet black anymore.

"If there is really a drainage system in this tomb, then why has it been in for a long time, and there is no shortage of blood in this blood pool?" Li Tianyuan asked.

Qin Wanshan stood beside the bronze coffin and said, "That's because there is blood water flowing into the pool all the time, and it can constantly replenish the blood water here." ”

A few of us hurriedly walked over. Qin Wanshan pointed to the bronze coffin and said, "Look at it for yourselves!" I looked to the place he was pointing, and saw that on the left and right sides of each of the four bottom corners of the bronze coffin, two brass pipes were drawn out of the coffin and led down the coffin bed. There were eight grooves around the coffin bed, all the way to the pool of blood. The blood that flowed from the bronze coffin flowed down the groove into the pool of blood.

Qin Wanshan looked at the blood that kept gushing out of the copper pipe and said, "Now that the source of the blood has been found, it seems that it is this bronze coffin." Blood flows out of the coffin and is drained out through the burial chamber's drainage tunnels, which explains why the soil in the blood grove is blood-red and oozing out. ”

"Can you dye so much land out there red? Has it not stopped for thousands of years? "But where did so much blood come from in this little coffin, could it be connected to other places?"

Faced with many questions, Qin Wanshan shook his head and said, "That can only be known after opening the coffin!" ”

Qin Wanshan bent down to look at this bronze coffin carefully, and I also looked down, only to see that this coffin was about two meters long and two or three meters long and about one meter wide, and there were nine lotus patterns engraved on the left and right sides, and there was a palm-sized mark on the front and back of the coffin and in the middle of the coffin lid, which was engraved with some irregular lines, which looked very good. I have also seen coffins, which are usually either carved with cranes and deer, or pines and cypresses, or plum orchids, chrysanthemums, bamboos, and peach pomegranates, but this is the first time I have seen a lotus flower.

"Mr. Qin, what do these nine lotus flowers mean by connecting them together? You have traveled from south to north, you have seen a lot of knowledge, and you will explain it! "I know that Qin Wanshan is extremely experienced in this area, and after doing the work of inverting buckets for so many years, he should know what these nine lotus flowers mean, so he opened his mouth to ask.

Qin Wanshan carefully observed the bronze coffin, and did not look back and said: "This pattern is called Jiujiu Lotus Flower, which is a pattern in the Qin Dynasty......"

"This is the Ninety-Nine Lotus Flower?" I was a little surprised.

Qin Wanshan glanced back at me: "Have you also heard of this Ninety-Nine Lotus Flower?" ”

I nodded: "I've just heard of this pattern, it is said that this pattern was created by Guiguzi's close disciple Fang Shi Xu Shi, as for the rest, I don't know......"

"Who is Xu Shi?" Lao Huang asked, "Among the celebrities surnamed Xu in the Qin Dynasty, I only know Xu Fu." ”

"They're the same person!" I told him.

"It turned out to be a person, so it was directly said that Xu Fu was good, what did you say about Xu City?"

I ignored Lao Huang, but turned my head and continued to listen to Qin Wanshan's words.

"I don't know much!" Qin Wanshan said, "Although this ninety-nine lotus flower was created in the Qin Dynasty, it didn't take long for the Qin Dynasty to decline, and no one used this pattern anymore. However, even in the Qin Dynasty, this pattern was not common. You see, there are nine lotus flowers in this picture, each of which is divided into nine petals, taking the meaning of ninety-nine to one. As the saying goes, 'only the beginning of Taiji, the Tao stands in one, divides the heavens and the earth, and turns into all things, and all the genus of one is from one', and the lotus flower is a kind of pure and pure subtle flower. The position of the nine lotus flowers corresponds to the nine stars in the sky, so any item engraved with the pattern of the nine lotus flowers shows that it is extremely important. However, it is said that this pattern is not suitable for everyone...... This is the first time I've seen this pattern, and I've only heard my uncle who is also in the industry say it before......"

"What about the carving on the coffin?" Zhang Yuheng heard the conversation between Qin Wanshan and me, and he also came up to ask.

"This ...... The people inside are either prominent, either rich or noble, or extremely important people...... Qin Wanshan said, "If what my uncle said is right, this Ninety-Nine Lotus Flower will only appear in the Qin Dynasty, then this bronze coffin has a history of two thousand years...... Boss Zhang, congratulations, you're going to make a fortune! ”

"Then don't be stunned? Why don't you hurry up and help open the coffin!! Zhang Yuheng hurriedly shouted, "If I make a fortune this time, I will never treat you badly." ”

Then the four of us began to pry up the bronze coffin. This coffin is not as easy to open as the sarcophagus outside. The lid of the coffin and the body of the coffin are tightly fitted and extremely tight. The pattern of the front and rear shields is integrated with the coffin lid and embedded in the coffin body, just like a lock to make the coffin lid and the coffin body more tightly fastened. We can only use a hammer to smash the chisel into the gap little by little, and then use a crowbar to support the prying, which is very laborious.

Qin Wanshan looked at the bronze coffin and said to Zhang Yuheng: "Boss Zhang, if the conditions allow, I suggest that you transport this coffin away, this thing is a priceless treasure!" Several bronze coffins unearthed in China have become the treasures of museums around the world. ”

Zhang Yuheng said with a sad face: "I also know that this bronze coffin is a good thing, but it is too big to be transported, and we will definitely not be able to move it." If you call people back and come back, I'm afraid you may not be able to find this place again. And then there is such a big coffin, but it's not easy to shoot! If you don't make people target it, this thing will become a hot potato......"

In the end, the heavy bronze coffin lid was finally lifted by the combined efforts of the four of us. At the moment when we pried the lid of the coffin, a loud "boom" came from below, startling us.

"Stop!" Qin Wanshan hurriedly shouted, "Don't move, everyone!" This loud noise made his heart chuckle, thinking that he had touched some mechanism, and he didn't dare to be careless, there were not a few tomb robbers who died in the tomb organs in the past. And the few of us who were working were also very scared when they heard the voice, and coupled with Qin Wanshan's words, they were even more nervous. The four of them held the bronze coffin lid that had just been lifted in their hands, and no one dared to move.
