Volume 3 The Ghost Boat of the Sand Sea Chapter 78 Get Together
The three of them stepped on the body of the banyan tree before they were able to stand. They reported to us over the intercom what they were seeing. The coffin was wooden, but showed no signs of decay. The entire edge of the coffin lid has also been enclosed by the trunk of the banyan tree, and if you want to open the coffin lid, you have to cut the two sides of the trunk, but this is too troublesome. Of course, there is an easy way to do it......
"Which is easier to use!" Jin Yuxiang ordered. But Xu Yunshu is resolutely opposed to this approach. Because it is necessary to bypass the part of the coffin lid that wraps the trunk, and directly use a sharp weapon to break the coffin lid from the middle. However, after all, Jin Yuxiang is in charge here, and Xu Yunshu's opposition is just a voice, and it has no impact at all.
The three of them took turns with the sharp daggers they carried, and after an hour, Gega's coffin was finally opened. The owner told us that there was only a skeleton inside, nothing else, and that they were going to search it again.
The altar said to me with some disappointment: "Look at it, it's not me who said, this first monarch of Loulan is really not good." It was so easy for someone to dry the coffin. If Qin Shi Huang's coffin was replaced, why couldn't there be dozens of organs waiting next to him? Not to mention opening the coffin, even if you look at it, you have to throw your life there! You can't pay for a ticket or something? You look here, come and go freely, not defended at all, no different from your own home, come and go when you want, it's really unassailable......"
"Where do you talk so much nonsense?" Impatiently, I said to the altar, "I think you said that because you disliked the lack of treasures in the tomb of Gega. If there is a mountain of gold and silver here, and there is not even a single mechanism, you will say, 'It's an eye-opener for the emperor's mausoleum,' right? ”
"That's what that's what happened!" The jar said with a smile.
At this time, the car owner said from the walkie-talkie that there was a new discovery and immediately brought it to us.
The owner brought over a broken stone mask and a piece of green jade. Che Dong said that the stone mask was worn on Gega's face, and the green jade was held in the palm of his hand.
As soon as he heard the green jade, Jin Yuxiang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the owner to bring it. At the same time, he took out from his bag the bronze jade slanting furnace we found on the conjuring ship without jade. After he took the green jade from Che Dong's hand, he combined the green jade on the bronze furnace body, and it was tightly knit and integrated.
Jin Yuxiang laughed: "I finally ...... Finally found it all! Finally found it all! He laughed maniacally as he took out two more bronze jade slanting furnaces from his bag. He put the three bronze stoves together and smiled from ear to ear.
I really didn't expect that Jin Yuxiang would put the three bronze jade slanting furnaces in his backpack. The weight of each bronze jade slanting furnace is not light, it weighs seven or eight catties, and he brought three bronze furnaces with him, which undoubtedly increased the weight by more than twenty catties, which shows how much he loves and is obsessed with this bronze jade slanting furnace.
Che Dong handed Xu Yunshu the camera in his hand and told her that it was a photo taken when the coffin was opened.
Xu Yunshu clicked on the camera and looked at the photos one by one, and I also went up to see them. Judging from these photos, Gega's body in the coffin is fairly well preserved. It wears a stone mask, and its body is not rotting, but a dead log. Contrary to what we thought, Gega's head was not separated from the body, which was what puzzled us, why didn't we follow the rules of the Haiwan tribe?
"Could it be that Gega also has the status of a priest?" I propose an explanation.
However, Xu Yunshu didn't think so: "Gejia is the monarch of Guloulan, and as a political ruler and monarch, it is impossible for him to become a priest again." With that, she walked to the owner of the car and asked him, "Captain, when you opened the coffin, did you find that Gejia's head was broken or missing?" ”
Che Dong thought about it carefully and said, "No! His head is very complete. This answer directly negated my speculation.
"Why is that? Is it related to this aspect? "I picked up the stone mask and looked at it. This mask has appeared in the tomb of the Haiwan tribe in Jinzhou, and there is also such a mask in the Hall of Eternal Life where Lian Yishan is buried in Longxi Pond, and now there is such a mask in Gejia's coffin, what does this mask represent?
"The human face is the totem of Loulan Kingdom...... In the book "Anecdotes of the Sea Kingdom" you have read, is the totem of the Haiwan tribe also a human face? I asked Xu Yunshu.
"This ...... It's not in the book! Xu Yunshu said, "What did you think of?" ”
"I'm thinking......" I said to Xu Yunshu as I pondered, "I wonder if the totem of this face appeared after the Haiwan tribe returned to the Central Plains?" ”
"What do you mean?" Xu Yunshu asked.
I explained: "The first time I saw this mask was in the tomb of the Haiwan tribe in Jinzhou. At that time, in addition to the stone mask, there was also Xu Fu's shrine; The second time I saw this mask was in the coffin of Lian Yidan; The third time was here...... I was thinking that the Haiwan people worshiped Xu Fu so much that they even treated him like a god...... Do you think this style of mask could be left to them by Xu Fu, so they cherish it so much, and even use the appearance of this mask as a totem of Loulan? ”
"What is the basis of your guess?" Xu Yunshu asked me.
"The basis is that we also found the same mask in the coffin of Lian Yidan!" I say.
Xu Yunshu didn't speak, she was waiting for me to explain to her.
"Lian Yishan is not from the Haiwan tribe, so why does a mask representing the Haiwan tribe appear in his coffin? Even if he was the one who was left by Xu Fu to manage the Haiwan clan in Longxi Pond, he didn't need to put a mask representing the alien race in his coffin, right? If you are a student of archaeology, you should also know that the tomb is a person's awe of the soul, as the so-called 'death is like life', after death, not everything in the coffin can be put casually! Since Lian Yishan put the stone mask in his coffin, it means that this stone mask is a very important thing, which is correct, right? ”
Xu Yunshu nodded.
"A stone mask, which is not a very valuable thing, appeared in the Haiwan cemetery and Gejia's tomb, and also appeared in Lian Yidan's coffin, and the only focus between them was Xu Fu, one regarded it as a god-like existence, and the other was his disciple, so I felt that this stone mask was left to them by Xu Fu." I put my thoughts out there.
