Chapter XVI: The Bilge
The ancients believed that everything and everything will present an "image", "elephant" is an all-encompassing image, this is the so-called "things are born with images, and images are born with numbers", the ancient hexagram on the coffin cover is very complicated and difficult, but in general, it is basically the same as the hexagram we are studying today, but it is more deduced in detail and more refuted, I was speechless for a long time, until Shirley Yang and others asked me, I came back to my senses and told everyone that the content engraved in the coffin was: "Earthquake up and down, shocked a hundred miles." Whole\Books\Small\Say\Net\"
On the inside of the stone coffin, with ancient symbols similar to insect and fish traces, the pattern of the "earthquake" hexagram is engraved, and the long or short fish bone marks represent the shock hexagram respectively, and the "Yi" cloud: "Heng, the shock comes to the detriment, the smile is dumb, the shock is hundreds of miles, and the dagger is not lost." This is a hexagram that "shocked a hundred miles", and there is a judgment of deducing the shock hexagram under it, which is too different from the acquired gossip I know, so I can't understand it.
After we experienced the hurricane, we accidentally found this stone coffin locked on the turtle bone, which may be a miraculous coincidence, but I don't think it may be like that, the blue-headed ancient jade collected on Coral Temple Island also hides mysteries in it, and it happens to be a candle to perform hexagrams, so from this point of view, there are too many such antiquities buried in this seabed, so many can be seen everywhere, but most of them are corroded and cannot be identified in the original form, so they have never been taken seriously.
Shirley Yang and others asked me what is the meaning of this "shock" hexagram? I explained that in the gossip there is a smooth and awakening self-cultivation meaning, it is difficult to say that it is evil or auspicious, the earthquake is thunder, the earthquake is shock, there is the meaning of thunder overlapping continuously, the thunder between heaven and earth trembles, scaring people all over the body, after a while they talk and laugh freely, the thunder roars, shocking a hundred miles, but the important sacrificial activities must be carried out as usual, the arrival of the thunder does not know whether it is a blessing or a curse, people feel afraid at the same time, to be cautious and careful. Avoid disasters.
When Uncle Ming, the fat man and others heard this, they all said that this was a coincidence, they had just experienced a big storm caused by the water on the dragon, and the thunder and lightning in the sky were not terrible, isn't this exactly the response to the "shock of a hundred miles"?
I shook my head and said, "Although the earthquake hexagram has the image of thunder, it does not refer to any real wind, rain, thunder and lightning, nor does it refer to an earthquake and a collapse. Only the charlatan fortune teller will explain it like this, and this hexagram is ancient and complicated, probably related to the congenital sixteen hexagrams of King Wen of Zhou. "After speaking, I asked Shirley Yang to take pictures of the coffin cover for preservation, this thing and the seabed "return to the ruins" I am afraid there is a lot of connection, if there is a chance to see Zhang Yingchuan again in the future, maybe he can explain the mystery.
That being said, I had a hunch. On this voyage, if you don't solve the mystery of "shocking a hundred miles", I am afraid that you will encounter great trouble, but this will take a lot of brains. I don't have much confidence in this, but I don't care too much, anyway, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, no matter what happens in the future, just speculate that the heavens will see the opportunity to act.
We tidied up the coffin lid and lifted it to the side to clear a place for the coffin, and I heard Professor Chen say that the bronze civilization that hates heaven and man is very developed, because it has the dragon fire in its hands, and can cast Tianding. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name, the coffin cover and the coffin body were chiseled with a nose ring, covered with a copper chain with the thickness of a human arm, after so many years, although the copper was washed away by the seawater, and was roughly wrapped by dead polyps, but the exposed place was clear and penetrating, still tough and strong, very different from ordinary bronze, it was a good green head, I did not hesitate to let the fat man accept it, claiming to take it back to "research and study".
Everyone curiously gathered around the inner coffin, all wanting to see what was in the coffin, Shirley Yang probably knew that it was useless to persuade us, and her curiosity was no less than mine, but she said that the sea was windy, and the contents of the coffin were not easy to preserve, if these things did come from the "return to the ruins" at the bottom of the sea, it might be the bones of the people who hated the heavens.
I said to Shirley Young, "That's from the bottom of the sea?" Isn't it similar to a visitor from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, I don't know if I wear toad glasses or not. ”
The fat man said: "It doesn't have to come out of the eye of the sea, don't you see it tied to the lid of the king, it must be this big king and eight essences crawling everywhere at the bottom of the sea, dying in the trough near here, so that a black tide can be brought up, and the result is that we can catch up, this is nothing else, this is fate." ”
After the fat man finished speaking, he took out a box of cool oil, and each of us picked the ointment with our fingertips and wiped it a little under our noses, only the boat boss Ruan Hei and the three didn't know what they meant, what was this for?
The fat man said: "You are egg-eaters at sea, naturally you don't understand the rules of promotion and wealth, we are all professional in this area, we all know that if you don't wear a mask, you must wipe some of this thing to prevent odor, so as not to let the corpse choke you." ”
Ruan Hei, the boss of the boat, didn't know what the fat man meant by his profession, but since he had this rule, he learned to do it, Gu Chai and Duo Ling were even more curious and scared, they wanted to see it but didn't dare to look at it, they hid behind Ruan Hei and kept looking at the sarcophagus.
Seeing that I was ready to stop, I looked up at the sky, although the sky was daytime, but the clouds were not raining, the sun was covered by dark clouds, the wind and waves on the sea were calm, the black tide gradually receded, that is, it was daytime, I don't think I needed to prepare any black donkey hooves, at the moment by the coffin hand fat man out of the horse, touch the gold secret technique in the coffin hair, although there is no taboo, but there is also "the west opens the north does not open, the left does not open the right" said, this "southeast and northwest up and down left and right", all refer to the coffin as a reference, because in ancient times the coffin was in the feng shui level, The noble people take the north and south longitudinally placed, the north is the head, the south is the bottom, and there are also those who face the side, and those who believe in Buddhism must face the west, and have the intention of dying in the west of the heavens, and those who serve the Tao face the east, and the purple gas comes from the east.
In addition, "touch the gold school captain" to open the west but not to open the north, but also to avoid the coffin with organs to harm people's lives, and there is a "life door let the door of death" meaning, this sea stone coffin shape is simple and vigorous, similar to the style of the Western Zhou Dynasty stone coffin, the fat man mixed up to the present, but also half of the coffin expert, the moment first push the top of the stone coffin to the upwind outlet, if there is evil gas inside, after opening the coffin will also be blown away by the sea breeze.
The coffin in the coffin is also stone rather than wood, the whole body is jet black, translucent, it is a kind of ancient pine fossil born at the bottom of the sea, called "earth mirror", the color is black and moist, the pattern is like a wave, its pattern is born for thousands of years by the sea, the more the pattern, the longer the age, the higher the value, look at the sarcophagus water pattern layer by layer, the value must be expensive, and the coffin is sealed tightly around the body, the fat man is afraid of ruining the valuable sarcophagus, he is hard to endure the character, the action is cautious, and the power of the two tigers is wasted, only to use the probe claw to pull out the lifebolt that plays a fixed role.
I assisted in the next head, let the rest of the people take a few steps back, and the fat man held his breath and lifted the coffin lid, suddenly a burst of white gas rushed out of the coffin, with this burst of corpse gas, from the coffin "bang" sat up a dead man, put the stone cover on the side, the dead body seemed to be a woman, the hair was very long, the wind blew the hair scattered, with the wind moved, like a living person, maybe the coffin was too tightly sealed, the corpse was loaded into the decay and swelling, the corpse gas accumulated in it is difficult to dissipate, borrowing this constant gas, The body of the deceased was also preserved in this state after the corpse qi was dissipated, and the coffin lid was together, and under the action of the outside air, there were drastic changes in the coffin, and the body of the corpse contracted all over the body, and it was like a corpse, and it sat up after a while.
The white smell in the coffin was extremely smelly, although we were in the limelight, and some mint ointment was smeared on the end of our noses, but we still felt that the smell was unbearable, and the corpse that suddenly sat up was startled, everyone hurriedly retreated, while covering their noses, the fat man and Uncle Ming were surprised again and again: "My God, why is this eldest sister so stinky?" Maybe this pretty girl...... Constipation before death, is it to let the suffocate to death? ”
In the scolding of Uncle Ming and the fat man, the stench quickly dissipated, and I saw that the corpse sitting up in the coffin was blue all over the body, and the body and face were full of flesh scales, green fangs, like a demon, and my heart tightened: "Is this a human?" But before I could take a closer look, a gust of sea breeze blew, the skin of the corpse quickly collapsed and shrank, the color of the corpse turned from blue to black, and it turned into ashes in an instant, and immediately from the outside to the inside, layer by layer was broken into black ash, which was blown away by the sea breeze, and the remaining scattered bones were scattered in the coffin, and the skeleton no longer existed.
Uncle Ming has been dealing with zongzi for half his life, and he has almost seen any kind of ancient corpse, but the female corpse with flesh scales on his body is still unheard of and unseen, is it a shark in the South China Sea? Then it was not a human but a fish, and it wouldn't be worth much if it died, and he approached to see if there were any bones and slag left in the coffin, and whether there were fish tails.
But when we looked closer, the rest of the skeleton was black and broken, except for a few teeth, the rest could no longer be recognized, the fat man was not interested in the dead, the corpse was removed by the sea to save trouble, holding the probe claw to stir the rest of the coffin, rummaging for the beads in the mouth of the dead body, that thing would certainly not be wiped out as soon as the wind passed.
But there are not too many things in the sarcoscope coffin, there is only a Hong Qingshui at the bottom of the coffin, and there are a few almost translucent small shrimp fluttering in it, and it looks like it is not alive, Shirley Yang thinks it is very strange, the sarcophagus is impermeable, and it has been sunk at the bottom of the sea for thousands of years, why are there still living shrimp in it?
I said that this is still difficult to explain scientifically for the time being, but the theory of feng shui and green black has long been mentioned, the life in the coffin is too salty, the essence is condensed, and the corpse fluid may produce alienated things, that is, some tissues on the dead body have become small shrimp and fish, etc., and it is more likely that they are self-generated in this rare stone mirror coffin.
