95 Decoding the sarcophagus II
Just when I was concentrating all my energy and carefully identifying the carvings of the beast's head, I was slapped the shoulder by the big mouth, and I just wanted to turn around and go crazy, but I saw the half-drawn blurred characters pressed under the thumb of the big mouth's right hand. >> Top > Dots" novel www.23wx. [com]
Big Mouth moves his finger away, and the characters are displayed in full, but they are so blurry that they are not recognizable at all.
As the big mouth scratched uncontrollably, more characters appeared, a total of twelve, forming a regular circle that surrounded the stone plate.
Big Mouth was very excited, twisting his eyebrows, he should have wanted to be happy with me and wanted to ask for credit.
Twelve characters, probably soaked in water for too long, have long lost the roundness and edge of the year, plus they were stuffed with limescale, and I feel a pity that there is nothing to be done at the same time.
However, looking at the big mouth very serious, and slowly moving the tip of the knife along the left brushstrokes, I also tried to do the cat and tiger.
Finally, after a few minutes, one of the simplest characters was cleared out by me, the subcharacters.
Then, the big mouth also cleaned up one, Shen characters.
Then, I pressed the big mouth hand, the twelve earthly branches, it was already obvious that there was no need to do useless work.
Next, we removed the debris in the gap between the stone plate and the sarcophagus, tried to rotate the stone plate hard, the stone plate turned out to be a little loose, and after cleaning it up, the stone plate was finally able to stumble and turn, but it was a little more laborious.
Strangely, every time the beast's head turned a corresponding character, there would be a muffled sound from the inside of the sarcophagus, which was extremely short, but it excited me and Big Mouth.
What is certain now is that the sarcophagus is not solid as we thought it would be, and it should be empty, which means that there is some important secret hidden inside, so how delicate and hidden it is.
Originally, it was thought that the beast's head would correspond to a specific character, and after the two met, the sarcophagus would open on its own, but after we tried to rotate the stone plate three times, the sarcophagus did not move except for a non-stop muffled sound.
In a fit of rage, he began to kick the sarcophagus and the stone plate with his feet, venting and venting, but the stone plate did not move at all, and we still did not find it.
As you can imagine, the two of them were full of joy, and they almost lost their lives, and until now they have found nothing, and my nameless anger is about to reach three feet.
"What should I do?" Big Mouth carved three words with a knife on the sarcophagus.
"Go back and find Gu Yi and them." I wrote in the palm of my mouth.
Three stinkers, and a Zhuge Liang, besides, the girl is already as careful as a hair, maybe everyone thinks about it together, and there is still some hope.
"Does it work? If it doesn't work, don't be thankless. The big mouth continued to sketch.
"You can give it a try, go back first."
After the last stroke, I went upstream with a heavy heart, and followed with a big mouth.
As soon as our heads came out of the water, Gu Yi immediately rushed over and asked eagerly, "Have you found the sarcophagus?" What to find. ”
"I found it, but I didn't fucking find anything." I said to Gu Yi angrily. I casually found a place to stay, squatted down, and began to gasp.
This is the third time I have entered the water, although the depth of the water is only a few tens of meters, but after staying for a long time, it is inevitable that the body will be unwell, especially the ears and eyes, every time I go ashore to decompress for more than ten minutes, the physical fatigue is self-evident.
The key point, such a futile back and forth, is too damn grandma to hit people.
After a pause, I described everything I saw underwater to Gu Yi Xiaohui, and the two of them heard it, but they just shook their heads.
This made my mood suddenly become a little heavier, but I was 100,000 unwilling, and began to keep a straight face, pout, and think about it.
Considering the relationship between the Gu Yi family and the Kingdom of Charles, and the people of the Gu clan have been active in this area all year round, so, I suddenly had an abrupt thought, randomly, I said to Gu Yi: "If you have people here, what do you say after death?" ”
"Does it matter?" Gu Yi asked puzzled, looking at me in confusion.
"Maybe there's a little bit you can say, and let me know the local customs." I replied anxiously.
I saw Gu Yi slowly lower his head, pinched his fingers and meditated for a while, and then his big watery eyes looked at me again, and said: "Whether we are old or young, young or old, young or old, as long as they pass away, they must be put for seven days and burn enough three fires before they can be buried." The first fire is called the soul, the second fire is called the requiem, that is, the soul of the deceased is called back to appease well, can not wander around, until the seventh day of the night at twelve o'clock, can send the soul, that is, the third fire, this fire must be burned on time and to be prosperous, according to the rules handed down by the old people, it is said that the third fire is for the deceased, and it has been sent to the ghost gate where the king of Yan is, I hope he can have a smooth journey and continue to be a man in the next life, so no one dares to take it lightly, only if all three fires are burned enough can they enter the earth for peace. ”
Gu Yi said a lot in one breath, but this custom is quite ordinary, but the third fire is still a bit interesting, sending souls, and it makes people's scalps cold.
I beckoned to my big mouth and said, "Do you want to go down and try again, but don't get any hope up yet." ”
"Try it, you have the final say, as long as you promise me, after the coffin is opened, I will let me take the contents of the coffin, and the rest doesn't matter." The big-mouthed Erlang cocked his legs and said happily.
"Oh, the purpose is clear, let's go." After a moment of speechlessness, I said to Big Mouth.
"Wait." When we were about to turn around, Gu Yi suddenly tugged on him, and then added: "Brother, I'm worried that I have forgotten an important thing, when the deceased is buried here, the living person has to hold the relics of the deceased around the burial pit three times, then reverse six times, and then turn nine times, saying that it is so convenient for the deceased to not get lost after passing through the Nai He Bridge, and Gula was sent away by me in the first place." ”
Looking at Gu Yi's pitiful tearful eyes, I knew that this touched her heart, sentimental old things, although Gula has passed away for a few years, but blood is thicker than water, love is as heavy as a mountain, and it is normal to be difficult to let go.
"Okay Gu Yi, don't be sad, it's all in the past, I'll take good care of you in the future, after this mission, I'll let you play all over Xi'an and eat all over Xi'an, okay?" Gently stroking Gu Yi's twitching shoulder, I tried my best to suppress my hurried mood and persuaded her with kind words.
"Brother Cui, can you talk about it?" Xiao Hui's eyes instantly widened and he said happily.
Unexpectedly, this time it seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest, Xiao Hui immediately pounced, panicking my arm and not letting go, until I nodded seriously.
"Thanks, I see, you and Brother Zui be careful."
I went into the water again, and when I came to the sarcophagus, I carved a few words on the stone plate, Zi, 3, 6, 9.
The big mouth was not stupid, and immediately understood what I was doing, and pushed the stone plate with both hands impatiently, and began to spin.
First, the head of the beast turned to the position of the sub, and then turned the stone plate again in the order of the three, six, and nine, and after the work, he quickly withdrew a few steps backwards, and the short knife in his hand stood against the sarcophagus, ready to fight immediately.
After a dozen heavy friction sounds, the sarcophagus returned to calm, and this time the big mouth was anxious, and he raised his foot again and kicked towards the sarcophagus, with all his strength, but it was still useless.
I was counting on the blind cat to catch a dead mouse, but now it seems that there is little hope again, and I suddenly feel that all the efforts during this period of time have been burned, and the disappointment is really indescribable.
"Let's go back." Big Mouth weakly carved two big cursive words on the sarcophagus, and pointed to the oxygen cylinder behind him, needless to say, I also know that the oxygen is in an emergency.
"Impossible, how can we be unlucky?"
Disappointment is disappointment, the facts in front of us really disappointed us, what can we do if we are unwilling, I also nodded helplessly.
However, just as Big Mouth and I had just turned around and had no time to move, with a few crisp grunts, a series of bubbles suddenly rushed up from behind us, and Big Mouth and I turned around almost at the same time and looked at the sarcophagus at the same time.
"Look!" Big Mouth screamed out involuntarily.
Strange thing, is the sarcophagus going to crack? The blisters erupted from inside the sarcophagus, and then there was another noise from inside the sarcophagus, but I swear with my life that this time it was not the same as the previous ones.
It's a more coherent mechanical sound, the sound is rhythmic, and it's re-transformed in the water, and it becomes faster and louder.
Next, the scene in front of me made me and Big Mouth dumbfounded, as the sound continued to repeat, a thin crack appeared on the smooth surface of the sarcophagus, and the crack slowly widened, spreading upwards along the sarcophagus until the sarcophagus was broken into two, and it fell down to both sides, revealing a piece of white jade.
The jade is clear and smooth, shaped like a water tank, and there is a very thick stone pillar in the middle, which penetrates directly from the bottom of the jade to a certain place under the water.
The edge of the jade sink is about ten centimeters thick, and although it does not emit light itself, it can also see some clues through the surrounding light, and faintly through the jade, you can see some things at the bottom.
It was three gears, two by two stone gears that were biting into each other, one large and two small, the larger of which was actually the top of the stone disc we saw earlier, and the other two slightly smaller gears, with an arm-thick copper crankshaft in the middle, had already climbed with patina.
The crankshaft is cleverly connected to two copper horizontal rods, one end of which is already stretched out at an angle of 180 degrees like a human arm stretched outward.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, this is the internal structure of the sarcophagus, it's amazing, the force is applied to the stone plate, and then it is passed down in turn, converted into the power of the two horizontal rods, and then the sarcophagus is broken hard.
It seems that my physics is quite good, and after some observation, I can see it clearly, and my big mouth only has the share of staring.
"Huh? Hell not? Could that thing have long legs? ”
In my memory, there seemed to be something in a corner of the jade sink, which I had just patronized and looked at those gears, and now I came back to my senses and looked for it, and the place was empty.
Look at the big mouth next to me, there is no shadow at this time.
When I looked up, a fat figure had just disappeared into the darkness.
