Chapter 19: Writing on the sarcophagus

As soon as the two heard Xiao Zheng say this, they were at ease a lot, and immediately stopped saying a word, such a large space suddenly seemed very quiet.

Zheng Xiaoming saw that the light of the flashlight had become even dimmer than just now, so he moved the flashlight closer to the stone coffin. He thought, the light was gone, so he had to get closer. Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be some words engraved on the lid of the coffin. He pondered, few people carved words on coffins, this is the first time I have seen such a situation, I see what is engraved on it, maybe it will help us find the mouth. So, he put his face on the lid of the coffin.

Lao He and Zhan Monkey saw Zheng Xiaoming bowing his head vigorously and lying on the lid of the coffin, and felt a little puzzled, so the two of them also put their heads together.

The two of them also found the inscription on it.

"There's a word on it, look!" Zhan Monkey said excitedly.

Zheng Xiaoming whispered: "Don't make noise, take a closer look, what is written on it!" If the above content can show us the way out, it will be equivalent to saving our lives! ”

At this time, Lao He tore off a piece of fabric from the corner of his jacket, leaned forward, and said, "You two get out of the way first, let me wipe the dust on it with a cloth, so that we can see more clearly!" ”

Zheng Xiaoming thought for a moment and said, "Lao He, I understand your kindness, but I think you should not wipe it around." After speaking, he used his shoulder to block Lao He, who was walking forward.

Lao He is very unhappy in his heart, if he is heart, Xiao Zheng, you don't know how to lift, I am a good heart, and you still block me like this, which makes the monkey think of me in his heart, he must think that I, an old guy, is afraid of you, a little guy, where does this make my face go. Thinking of this, he tightly grasped the piece of fabric that had just been torn off in his hand, pulled Zheng Xiaoming's shoulder with his hand angrily, came to the front of the coffin, and wiped it on the coffin lid a few times.

Zheng Xiaoming was startled when he saw that this old guy was wiping the coffin with a lot of anger, and hurriedly said: "Lao He, I don't let you wipe the coffin for my reason." ”

Lao He rubbed the lid of the coffin vigorously and said angrily: "What kind of reasoning do you say, let me see your high opinion!" After saying that, he deliberately rubbed it back and forth on the coffin lid a few times.

Zheng Xiaoming saw that Lao He had wiped it several times, his brows furrowed suddenly, he shook his head helplessly, and said: "Lao He, as an old archaeological team member, you should have heard about the corpse fraud. ”

Lao He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and slowed down the speed of wiping the lid of the coffin, but he did not speak.

Zheng Xiaoming continued: "I don't know who the corpse of the person is in the coffin, the corpse belongs to the most yin thing. The clothes you wear are stained with your yang energy, and if you wipe the coffin with the material of the clothes, the yang energy will pass through the lid of the coffin to the corpse inside. ”

After listening to Zheng Xiaoming's words, Lao He suddenly stopped wiping the lid of the coffin, took a big step back, looked at the coffin with his eyes, and said, "Why don't you stop me!" You see, I did it all wrong! ”

When Zhan Monkey heard this, he became angry, glared at Lao He fiercely, clenched his fists with both hands, and said loudly: "Lao He, Lao He, you are too stubborn sometimes!" Xiao Zheng blocked you from the beginning, not letting you wipe the coffin lid, and you pushed Xiao Zheng aside, I have to say wipe it, if you really wipe things out and let the corpses inside run out, I see what you can do! ”

"What to do! I know what to do! I didn't mean to! Lao He argued.

Zheng Xiaoming looked at the coffin that had been wiped, and if he was in his heart, Lao He had no malicious intent, and he tore his clothes and wiped the coffin lid in order to be able to see the small characters engraved on it more clearly. So he said: "Don't make any noise, let's take advantage of the flashlight to have a little power, and quickly see what is written on it!" After speaking, he put the flashlight back on the top of the coffin lid and looked seriously according to the words engraved on it.

Zhan Monkey and Lao He were also very curious, stretching their necks, staring at them, and following behind Zheng Xiaoming to identify the words engraved on it.

The lid of the coffin is engraved with the words of Lishu, and the font is engraved beautifully and neatly, which is not difficult to recognize. At the beginning, a few relatively large characters are engraved vertically: the tomb inscription of Chitaishou in Jizhou in the Han Dynasty.

After reading these words, Zhan Monkey looked surprised and whispered: "Damn, this is a tomb that is too guarded, and the official position is not very small!" This Taishou's surname is Chi, and he can also be called Chi Taishou. ”

Zheng Xiaoming thought to himself, the official position of Taishou was indeed not a minor official at that time, it was the highest-ranking official in Jizhou at that time. Because the current Hebei was called Jizhou at that time, it was engraved with Jizhou Chitaishou.

Zheng Xiaoming continued to look behind and found that the font on the back was much smaller than the previous words, but as long as the flashlight was closer to the coffin lid and often changed the angle of view, he could see it clearly.

The contents on the lid of the coffin are all written in classical Chinese, and you need to read a whole sentence and then translate it to understand the meaning. Zheng Xiaoming secretly rejoiced that thanks to his Chinese grades, he had always been good, especially classical Chinese, and he had studied hard in college. So, when he saw these records written in classical Chinese, he could read them and understand the meaning of them.

Zheng Xiaoming was carefully looking at the words engraved on it, and the Zhan monkey next to him was a little anxious, and said: "The light is too dark, Lao He and I can't see what is written on it clearly behind you!" Don't patronize yourself, translate the above and tell us about it. ”

Zheng Xiaoming's eyes stared at the small characters engraved on it, and said: "Have you seen it, the entire coffin lid is engraved with small characters, explaining several things to us, don't worry, let me translate it for you slowly." ”

Lao He said: "Xiao Zheng, tell us the first thing first?" ”

Zheng Xiaoming closed his lips tightly, thought for a while, and said: "The line at the beginning is that this Jizhou Taishou has a hideous face and a blue face when he dies, and his family is afraid that the deceased will be deceived by evil magic, so he put his body in a stone coffin. In addition, if the corpse is really cheated, in order to prevent it from coming out of the coffin, the weight of the coffin lid is increased, the coffin lid is thickened, and a large extra stone is added to the head. ”

After hearing this, Zhan Monkey couldn't help but nod and said, "No wonder this coffin lid is made like this, it turns out to be like this!" ”

Zheng Xiaoming looked at Lao He and Zhan Monkey in surprise, and said casually: "Listen, I'll continue to tell you about the following things?" ”

Zheng Xiaoming just wanted to continue, when he suddenly heard a "knock knock" sound coming from inside the coffin.
