This is an ancient ship about twenty meters long, maybe for modern people, this ancient ship is not too big, it can only be regarded as a small boat, but in ancient times this ship must not be called a small boat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I don't have much research on ancient ships, but looking at the ancient ship in front of me always feels a little weird, it seems to be a little different from a normal ship, but I can't see the difference.

"Old prostitute, do you think this ancient ship is a little weird?" I asked as I looked after the ancient ship.

"It's a little weird, it's just weird." The old prostitute's flashlight began to stop looking at the hull of the ship, but instead looked at the empty stone walls around it.

After looking at it for a while, the old prostitute muttered, "I see." ”

"What is so, do you see something?"

"Well," replied the old prostitute, "you see that the terrain here does not look like a dry river. ”

I followed the flashlight of the old prostitute and looked, it really looked like an old river channel, the stones on both sides were very smooth, it didn't look like it was polished, but more like the smoothness formed by the water flow for many years.

There is an old river in the mountain, and there is a small ancient boat, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I guess I wouldn't have believed that there was such a scene. I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Old prostitute, have you ever heard of a river in ancient Guizhou that crossed the interior of the mountain?" ”

In fact, I am very interested in rivers, this may be related to my profession, the more mountains and rivers depend on each other, the more ancient tombs, so from the beginning of the Qiumen, I have been quite interested in mountains and rivers. But among the rivers I know, there are really no rivers that cross the interior of the mountains.

"Maybe not the river." The old prostitute said.

"Not the river?" I wondered, "If it's not a river, where does this river come from?" ”

"It could be a lake," the old prostitute then affirmed, "yes, that's right, it should be a lake." ”

I looked at the old prostitute as if she had just woken up from a dream, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. He told me what he was thinking, and I was suddenly enlightened.

The old prostitute said: He was a little puzzled at the cliff coffin before, and he couldn't understand why there was a cliff coffin here. In ancient times, cliff burials were actually very particular about feng shui, and the location of cliff burials was not only on steep cliffs, but also on rivers or lakes. But it was clear that there was no river under the cliff, and there were weeds and endless trees, which made the old prostitute stand on the cliff coffin and had puzzled questions.

However, seeing this ancient ship here made the old prostitute figure it out. He believes that hundreds or thousands of years ago, there was probably a lake under the cliff, which is consistent with the appearance of the cliff coffin, and also the landform at the bottom of the cliff. The lake surrounds several mountains, and the river in front of us is likely to run through the mountain. Of course, there is also an explanation that this is originally a natural cave, and since the lake surrounds the mountain, it is natural for it to flow into the cave.

I have a certain recognition of this understanding of the old prostitute, but there is one thing I have never been able to figure out, and I immediately questioned: "If this is not a big river, but a lake, is it necessary for this boat to shuttle in the mountains?" You can go around the mountain, so why sail in a cave. ”

The old prostitute frowned immediately after hearing me, as if he had not thought about this issue before. The old prostitute's flashlight shone on the ancient ship again, and after a while, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a ghost ship." ”

"Ghost ship?" After I repeated the sentence, I immediately turned my head and glanced at the old prostitute.

The old prostitute also glanced at me and said, "Don't be too sensitive, the ghost ship I'm talking about is an ancient coffin ship, not a ghost ship with ghosts." ”

"How do you tell it's a coffin ship?"

After I finished speaking, the old prostitute took care of me with a flashlight, and he first shone on the bow of the boat, and there was a humanoid statue on the bow of the boat, as if it was a person standing in the bow of the boat, holding a lamp in his hand.

"Do you see the wood carving standing at the front?" I nodded, and the old prostitute continued, "That wood carving is a young man." ”

"Wei Kui, I seem to have heard of this name, is it the one who first entered the Hundred Ghosts Pass and Wei Kui?" I interjected.

"Yes" The old prostitute shone the flashlight at the stern of the boat, and there was also a statue there, but the statue did not hold a lamp, and it seemed to be holding a weapon in its hand, but it was not clear what weapon it was. "This wood carving in the back is called Yi Yan."

"I've never heard that name." I shook my head.

"Yi Yan is a cool official who guards ghosts, and legend has it that Yi Yan is cold and ruthless, and his methods are extremely cruel, and all ghosts are afraid of him." The old prostitute explained.

"No wonder you say this is a ghost ship, the feelings of this ship are related to ghosts before and after, there is a ghost who leads the ghost into the ghost gate in front of it, and there is a special guard in the back, it seems that this ship is really a ghost ship. But how did this coffin ship end up here? Stumped that there is a group of tombs inside this mountain? ”

The old prostitute continued to take care of the ancient ship carefully, and without saying anything, he walked back under the ancient boat and circled around the ancient ship for half a circle. If it weren't for the other side of the ancient ship leaning against the stone wall, it is estimated that he would have to walk around the ancient ship.

I don't know what the old prostitute is looking for, he keeps shaking his head as he walks, I look at the position he cares for, and I don't see anything wrong.

"What are you looking for, old prostitute?"

"I didn't look for anything, I just felt that this ship was wrong." Before I could ask what was wrong, he said, "Don't you think there is something missing from this ancient ship?" ”

I glanced at the old prostitute, and said that I didn't see it, and he continued, "This boat has no oars and no sails. ”

Sure enough, when I looked closely, there were really no oars and no sails, and not only did the hull not have oar holes, but also no sail poles. Everyone knows that ancient ships sailed by two powers, either sails and wind power, or oars with human power.

"Could it be that there is a sail pole, but it has rotted and fallen on the board?" I wondered.

"This is the interior of the mountain, there is almost no wind, and it is not possible to use sails." Saying that, the old prostitute entered the cabin where we had fallen, and said, "Go up and see if there are any sails." ”

Since we smashed the stairs below the deck when we fell, we couldn't go up the stairs again, so we had to put up our backpacks and wood and climb up underneath.

Looking at the posture of the old prostitute climbing up, I knew that this guy was not injured, his hands and feet were still very neat, and it didn't take a few times to climb onto the deck.

But when he stood on the deck, he startled me.
