Chapter 350: Torrent
"Really?" As soon as they heard this, everyone opened their mouths wide, and after a long time, Xiaopang said: "Old man, you're not bluffing, are you, there really is such a thing in history?" ”
"Tsk, what are you lying about? Don't believe it, check it out for yourself. But I can't blame you, I didn't believe it at first, after all, this kind of thing is too hard to accept. But now it's different, such a big coffin is in front of you, don't you believe it? Look at the relief on this coffin, this is the best proof of this history! I guess it's not some prominent figure from the nine-headed tribe who is buried here, but also has a great connection with that tribe. ”
"So what do you want to do?" I picked up a small stone on the ground and pinched it in my hand.
"What else can be done? From the bottom of my heart, I really want to go into the mountains with you to have a look, but I also know that I am old and incapacitated, so you will not take me there, and I will only cause trouble for you if I go. I have been doing studies for so many years, and I have long become an old man who can only study problems in the office, no matter what other lines, first look at the content of the text on this coffin, I believe that as long as I give the old man a little time, I can turn over this unknown history. ”
The old man said, quite confident, I nodded, and asked, "Then, can you tell me the meaning of the words on the coffin?" I know it will take a lot of time to fully decipher this, but with your attainment, it's not particularly difficult to know what it says in general. ”
"Hehe, you kid don't have to flatter me, I know how many pounds and taels I have, tell you the truth, the text on this is difficult to understand, far from those big seals that once occupied the mainstream position can be compared, even if you give me some manpower, it will take a lot of time. But I can sue you, this person, should have died an unnatural death, just look at this coffin. A whole coffin is sealed and a fist-sized hole is left, isn't this contrary to the traditional saying of 'entering the earth for peace'? Based on my knowledge, I guess that this hole should be used to communicate with the outside world, or the things inside are connected to the outside world through the hole guò, or the things inside are connected to the guys inside through the hole of guò. If you combine Lu Li's words, what is locked up here may really be an ancient evil spirit! Oh, it was a long, long time ago, I remember, it was in the early days of liberation, when the world was not stable, and it was still the era when tomb robbers were most rampant. At that time, the tomb robbers were facing each other between the north and the south, and the fight was very fierce and fierce, and the people of the northern faction refined a corpse king and sealed it in a copper-skinned coffin, and accidentally stepped on the boundary, and the people of the southern faction did not know what they were carrying, and accidentally released the contents of the coffin in the fight. According to later generations, a headless corpse king burst out of the bronze coffin at that time, killed people when he saw them, and killed all the people inside in one go. Even the two big leaders of the northern and southern factions were not spared, and they caused chaos in the world all of a sudden. I think that the things in this coffin should not be the same as the kind of corpse king, but no one can guarantee that the things here are not secret weapons used to fight people, after all, it is difficult for ordinary people to deal with this kind of thing. It's useless to say so much, in the final analysis, you still have to decipher the words on it before you can explain the above things clearly. ”
"That's right." Nodding, I said.
"But if this thing really came from that mysterious tribe, then why is it in the riverbed? Could it be that this thing had been lying under the riverbed and being soaked in the river for the past few years? Xiaopang said, very surprised, at this time, my senior brother who had not been much stubble suddenly took over: "There is no need to doubt this, you see that the gold paint on the coffin is about to corrode, you know, the place where this thing is stored will not be too dry." Then look at the color of the patina on the coffin, you can know that the coffin must have been soaked in water, you are not archaeological, so it is not clear, in fact, the difference in geographical environment will leave different traces on the bronze, the difference is very large, the most obvious is the color. You see, this color, this vein, must have been soaked in water, at least, it must be hundreds of years old. I'm right, Professor Sun. ”
"That's right." When the old man heard this, he nodded, and then turned around and said to Xiao Pang: "This coffin, it must have been soaked under the water for a long time, there is no doubt about this, it's just that it is difficult to explain why the things here have not been soaked yet, maybe, you ghost hunters and those of us who are engaged in scientific research have two attitudes, but we should be able to reach a consensus in some places, for example, why it appears here." ”
"Why?" Chubby didn't quite understand what the other party was going to say, so he frowned and asked.
"Flood." The old man said, smiled, and immediately picked up two pieces on the ground and played with them in his hand: "Since the body is hidden in the coffin, then the coffin will not be placed in the open air, and as far as I know, there is no habit of sky burial and tree burial in our area, that is to say, this coffin is buried in the soil, well, since this is the case, there are two situations, one, the most common, this coffin is buried under the soil layer, which has something to do with thousands of years of traditional culture, and is also consistent with your Taoist point of view, it should be said, This burial method of burial in the ground is the most compliant. ”
"What about the other one?" Chubby said, still frowning.
"The other, a little more troublesome than this one. In the past, some prominent people would open mountains and build tombs, hollow out the mountains, and put coffins in them. In this case, the coffin is located at an altitude much higher than the surface, which has the advantage of preventing moisture from entering and keeping the burial chamber intact. However, the shortcomings are also obvious, after a long time, the geological movement cannot be stopped. In the past, there were many cases where alpine mounds collapsed and a tomb collapsed in the middle of the mountain. And in this case, many burial goods in the tomb will be washed into the river with the sand and gravel, and then silted up at the bottom of the river little by little, you should know how powerful the flash flood is, not to mention a small coffin, even the Zhenling stone beast larger than the truck can also be washed away. ”
