Chapter 10: Silk Books

The coffin was a sarcophagus, placed on a high platform in the middle of the tomb, and the high platform had to be two meters high, and although Abu was injured, he was so excited when he saw the coffin, he believed that there must be a treasure in the coffin.

The lid of the coffin is rectangular, unlike the modern coffin lid with an arc, the sarcophagus is carved with all kinds of carvings, which can be seen at a glance, the shape is very weird, the bottom of the coffin is surrounded by snake-shaped animals, but it is not a snake, because there are two front feet on the snake-shaped body, and there are horns on the head, anyway, there are no animals in my head to correspond to this shape.

The coffin is a number of plant carvings, all kinds, the most prominent of which is the petals with rattan, the outer stamens layer after layer of petals, like a peony, but it is certain that it is not a peony, peony is a shrub plant, but not grown on rattan, and the others are some less outstanding carvings, I also asked my father, my father also said that he has never heard of the animals and plants on the stone coffin.

After a few of us watched back and forth around the coffin for a while, but we didn't find anything else peculiar, and as we observed, Abu suddenly jumped on the high platform and wanted to open the lid to find out, and pushed the lid there vigorously.

His jump frightened us, because the high platform and the coffin blocked our view, when he jumped up, we thought it was from the coffin jumped out of the zongzi, my father almost didn't fly over, but if you look closely, it turned out to be Abu, but you can't do anything with him, this heart is hated and annoyed by him, after all, my little heart can't stand it.

"What are you doing? Haven't you learned your lesson from the past? The second uncle was even more annoyed, "Why have you been fighting for so many years, and you are still so sloppy in doing things, if there is a mechanism on this coffin, there is some kind of dart, arrow, crossbow and poisonous gas, then it is strange if you push open the coffin lid and not kill you!" The second uncle said angrily.

"Uh-uh, it's okay, I'm going to die anyway." Abu replied awkwardly, "Besides, I haven't opened it yet!" I'll just come down. As he spoke, he jumped off the high platform, and Tianming also mocked Abu on the side: "I said Abu, can you learn from me and don't make trouble." Abu couldn't, and said to Tianming: "Get out, just your Sven, can you jump up with your little bit of meat?" Tianming: "........ It's useless not to talk to you. ”

But before they finished arguing, the coffin suddenly shook, and Abu was still leaning on the high platform under the coffin at this time, and was immediately frightened back, and looked at us innocently: "I didn't move it, why did it move?" ”

We all reflexively took a few steps back, and my father even took me between him and the master, after all, none of us knew what was in this coffin, I thought it might be a zongzi inside, but we haven't moved it yet, why do we think about it ourselves? He didn't think about it, but he didn't speak, so he stood quietly and watched what would happen to the coffin.

The coffin shook for about twenty or thirty seconds and then didn't move again, but the coffin lid was opened suddenly, and there was a layer of lime floating on it, which was brought up when the coffin lid was opened, and the coffin lid was only half opened and stopped, and we waited for most of the time and didn't see any movement in the sarcophagus, so we discussed going over to take a look.

Speaking of the past, of course, Abu is the most active, when he speaks, it passes, and we follow behind, Abu jumped on the high platform again, and the second uncle and my father also jumped up, but the master seemed to be watching something, and he could see God.

My father and they haven't looked into the coffin, and found that the master didn't come up, they all looked back, it turned out that the master was staring at a corner of the high platform, we looked over with the eyes of the master, and found that there was a small square under the corner, and the high platform was not a stone, more like another stone inserted into it, forming a chip, pinned there.

And the sharpener seems to have just been closed, there is a relatively small gap around the stone chipper, the master tried to grope for a while, and actually inserted his finger into it, I began to not understand what he was going to do, until I saw a rectangular stone from the corner of the high platform was torn out by the master, only to know that the stone did not belong to the high platform, but it seemed to deliberately take out a rectangular vacant seat on the high platform and then put it in.

We were still looking at the stones that were pulled out by the master, and suddenly the high platform shook again, and the coffin lid was closed instantly, although we were all startled, but we understood how the coffin lid was opened.

It turned out that the rectangular stone was a mechanism, placed in the dark grid of the high platform, and it was protruding outwards before, but I didn't want to be Abu jumping up and down to close the stone, so the coffin lid would be opened, and just now the master pulled it out, and the coffin lid would be closed again.

But I really have to admire the master, although the stone is easy to advance, but it is difficult to take it out if there is no assistance such as a pry bar, and the master can easily pull it out with just his own fingers, I can't help but be full of endless doubts about the affairs of the master and his family.

"Master, it seems that this stone is the hidden grid that opens this coffin, you put it back and the lid of this coffin will be opened." My father said to the master, and his tone was very gentle, without the slightest tone mixed with me when he talked to me.

When the master heard my father say this, he quickly put the stone back into the dark compartment of the high platform, and sure enough, after the stone was put back, the coffin lid shook for a while and then opened, Abu was looking forward to the treasure in the coffin, and before my second uncle could speak, he stretched his head over.

But before he reached the mouth of the coffin, my second uncle pulled his ears back: "This coffin has not been disinfected, you don't want to die?" "I'm also puzzled, do you have to disinfect a coffin? At this time, Abu said: "Yes, yes, the occupational disease is a prisoner, and when he sees the coffin, his hands are itchy, so this is disinfected." As he spoke, he took something out of his backpack and drank it in his mouth, and I took a closer look at it to see that it was liquor, how could it be sterilized.

I saw Abu holding a mouthful of liquor in his mouth, and squirted a few unreasonable mouthfuls at the coffin, and then he stretched his head over to observe the contents of the coffin, I didn't understand what the liquor did, so I asked the second uncle for advice.

"Liquor, but it's a good baby for disinfection, this thing is the poison of the coffin, unlike garlic, garlic is only deodorized after eating, but this liquor can also sterilize, and at the same time, if there is corpse poison or something, you can try to suppress the toxicity." The second uncle explained to me with a smile, I thought to myself, isn't this the same concept as injection, disinfect with alcohol before injection.

"Second master, why is there nothing in this coffin, only a cloth." Abu had already put half of his body into the coffin at this time, and he didn't mean to be afraid at all, but what he said really surprised us all, there was only one cloth in this coffin?

My master and my father hurriedly ran to the high platform to take a look, and I followed, there was indeed only one cloth in the coffin, and the cloth had been covered with several layers of ash, which seemed to be the lime on the coffin lid, Abu was not verbose, and blew it out with a pout, and the ash on the cloth was blown clean by him after a while.

The whole piece of cloth quickly appeared in front of our eyes, the cloth was like a silk fabric, and the quality should be relatively high-grade, and at this moment a term flashed in my mind - brocade silk.

In fact, I have been in the antique shop at home for a long time, and I know a lot of things, some special things can be remembered in my mind, and even some things I have not seen, then I have to hear about them, and I have more or less some understanding of antiques from various historical periods.

There seems to be text on the silk book, and the characters are written in vermilion ink, but the type of font is very peculiar, and even my father and they don't know what kind of font it is.

I looked at the brocade silk in the coffin repeatedly, and I seemed to have the impression in my mind that because of my interest in antiques, I usually visit a lot of museums, and if there are some cultural relics on display, I will also run to take a look.

In this way, I thought carefully about all the fonts I had seen, and suddenly something flashed in my mind, this font seemed to have been seen at the Shanghai World Expo in 2010, and the name of the cultural relic was called "Houma Mengshu", which recorded the Jin script in the Spring and Autumn period.

Of course, as for the meaning of the words written on the "Book of the Horse League", no one has yet figured it out, some people say that it is a record of the sect alliance, and some people also say that it is a curse, and there are different types and statements.

But it is impossible for us to understand these words, unless it is still attached to the translated version, and I can only understand a little seal script at most, which cannot be blamed on me, and you can only blame Qin Shi Huang for unifying the text after unifying the Six Kingdoms.

In order to see if there was anything else under the silk book, Abu took out the silk book, and the moment the silk book left the bottom of the coffin, the coffin slowly rose up along with the high platform.
