Chapter Seventy-Four: The Bilge Sarcophagus
"The big guy at the beginning of summer? Who would that be? "
"I'm not sure yet." Maitreya looked at the injuries on his body, and said with bared teeth: "Let's take a look, I always feel that it is completely worth it to suffer this injury." "
I was thinking that the big man of that era was only known to King Yu. The lotus wood statue, the eyes of the Yellow River, which are closely related to the King of Yu and even the seven gates of the river, thinking of this, I am more determined to have my thoughts, and I am full of desire for everything in this ancient boat.
The cabin on the second floor seems to be quiet, but as soon as you walk in, you can smell a strong smell of blood. As I suspected, the ancient ship may have three floors, and the entrance to the bottom should be the entrance to the bottom floor along the passage on the second floor. Maitreya put down the jade tooth zhang and took me slowly for a few steps, and the entire aisle was full of wide blood marks, as well as scattered intestines and internal organs, as if they had been dragged by the disembowelment.
Seeing this, I immediately guessed that Lao Yu and the others all went down to the river for some reason, some of them probably let the water wash away, or sank to the bottom of the river, and some of them forcibly climbed onto the ancient boat, but after coming in, they may all be killed. The lotus woman is too fierce, I fought desperately with Maitreya on the Zhenhe mirror to get one, and the people under Lao Yu couldn't stop the lotus woman.
"The second floor is empty, then, the remaining three lotus women, as well as the people who were dragged away, have all gone to the bottom warehouse of the ancient ship?" I asked.
"Let's hurry." Maitreya held the crowbar and quickened his pace, but as soon as he took two steps, the light of the flashlight shone something on the bulkhead next to him. The jade tooth zhang hanging on the bulkhead is relatively scattered, and some paintings are painted with the most primitive pigments and techniques in the gap between the jade tooth zhang. Over time, the old pigments have mostly fallen off, but the painting itself has been preserved. I don't like these things, but Maitreya can't walk when he sees them, so I have to look more carefully.
The paintings were one after the other, as if they were a whole whole, and I felt very, and I was so short on time, so I stayed to look at these paintings.
"Don't worry!" Maitreya whispered without looking back: "This painting is very important!" "
"It's all this time, and you're still here." I knew that the three lotus women who were destined for their lives might be in the bottom warehouse, and I was very uneasy, looking left and right, looking back and forth for a while, my eyes involuntarily swept over the paintings on the bulkhead, and I was gradually attracted.
The painting is a bit rough, but I can still see it clearly, and I can see the huge flood on the picture, raging on the earth, and after that, some people began to fight against the flood, draining the water to the source, and the person who led the water control became the co-owner of the worship.
There is no doubt that the content of the painting is well known, and it is an allusion to King Yu's rule of water and peace in the world in the past.
Next, the content of the painting changed suddenly, and King Yu may run out of life and pass away. All the people wailed, carrying his coffin, and strode towards the great river. The scene of King Yu's burial was once told by the old man of Huaixi Building, but I saw that there was no lotus wood statue on the picture.
I wanted to continue looking, but I couldn't tell the difference in the painting behind me. Maitreya thought for a moment and said, "Is this really the case? "
"The thing is"
Before I could finish my sentence, a dull gunshot suddenly sounded from the bottom of the ancient ship. The sound of the gunfire made us excited, and we pulled out our feet and walked that way. Aren't the gang under Lao Yu dead yet? Still fighting with the lotus woman? But why didn't you hear any sound before?
Maitreya and I walked very quickly, and in a blink of an eye we reached the end of the second floor, and as before, there were large stone steps paved with stones at the end, and when we approached the stone steps, the smell of blood was suddenly extremely strong.
There was blood in front of him, and there were about five or six people blocking the stone steps, and there were almost no people who had been scratched and bitten. When we arrived, a man who was not completely dead was leaning against the wall, struggling to grab the gun next to him, and then aimed the muzzle of the gun at his head little by little. His body was covered in wounds, and there was a large, frightening wound on his abdomen, and the internal organs could be faintly seen. Blood was flowing everywhere, and he was completely desperate, even if he lived a little longer, it would only be a little more torment.
He stared blankly at me and Maitreya, his face covered in blood, and he opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn't say a word. Gradually, he slowly aimed the muzzle of the gun at his temple, and with all his strength, pulled the trigger.
boom
I saw a bullet burst out of the bullet through the bullet hole in the skull, and the man's body immediately went limp, leaning against the wall until he died, his blood-stained eyes still not closed, and he looked at us fixedly. I didn't know this man before, and it was very uncomfortable to see him die in front of my eyes. But this faint sadness was soon interrupted by the sound coming from the bottom warehouse, and I couldn't see the scene inside the bottom warehouse for the time being, but I didn't need to look at it to know that it must be the sound of the lotus woman slowly crawling on the board.
The lotus woman is really in the bottom warehouse!
I felt a little sluggish breathing for a while, and I couldn't help but pinch the Zhenhe mirror on my chest, Maitreya put the crowbar aside, bent down to pick up a gun, pulled out the magazine to see the bullets inside, and quickly found two full magazines and stuffed them into my pocket.
"You probably don't know how to use guns, so take a bronze mirror against them." Maitreya swallowed his spit and said, "The bottom warehouse is right in front of us, we have to take a look!" "
Maitreya and I bent down and walked down two steps down the stone steps. The stone steps were covered with blood, and when I stepped on it, I felt that the soles of my shoes were sticky, but at that time, I couldn't care about these anymore, and all my attention was on the bottom compartment.
Maitreya pointed the gun at the front, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for the bullet to completely destroy the lotus woman, but it could rely on the impact to stop them for a while. As we walked down a few stone steps with our cats bent over, my eyes immediately froze, and my mind boomed, and thoughts rolled.
Stone coffin, I saw the stone coffin!
There was almost nothing else in the entire bottom chamber except for some large stones used to press the chamber around, so the stone coffin placed in the center immediately came into view. I've seen stone coffins more than once, and because I'm looking for my grandfather, I'm very interested in this thing, and I even remember the patterns on the outside of the coffin clearly.
I couldn't be mistaken, the stone coffin in the bottom warehouse was so old, so heavy, and so intricately patterned, it was exactly the same as the stone coffin I had seen several times. This coffin once buried King Yu, and was later used by the Qimen River to town the river for generations, how could it appear in the ancient boat!?
The moment I saw the stone coffin, my heart beat violently, and a natural thought emerged, since the stone coffin is here, then, is grandpa also there!
The feeling was indescribable, it made my hands start to shake and it was difficult to calm down. I snatched the flashlight from Maitreya's hand and shone it over the stone coffin, just to see it more clearly. I'm not afraid of the lotus woman, I know that if grandpa is really here, he won't let anyone, anything, hurt me.
"This is King Yu's coffin!" When Maitreya saw the stone coffin, he couldn't suppress his excitement, turned to me and said, "After King Yu died that year, he was buried here!" I said that after I came in, I always felt inexplicable, it was really King Yu's coffin! "
"Definitely not." I looked at the stone coffin motionlessly and casually dismissed Maitreya's words. King Yu was buried in the eye of the Yellow River. I have seen lotus wood statues with my own eyes, and I have also seen stone coffins.
"Definitely." Maitreya took another step with the gun, as if he was shocked by something, and said slowly: "It's definitely King Yu's coffin!" "
The stone coffin at the bottom of the bilge, the lid of the coffin is tightly closed, I can't see what's inside, but I can imagine that once the lid is opened, it must be the grandfather in the big red clothes inside. I couldn't hold back the excitement in my heart any longer, and I wanted to run towards the stone coffin.
"You're crazy!" Maitreya reached out and grabbed me.
I came back to my senses, and with a flicker of my eyes, I saw two lotus women slowly crawling out from the back of the stone coffin. They seemed to be attracted to the stone coffin, completely throwing Maitreya and me aside, crawling around the stone coffin, making an itchy sound. In this way, the pressure on me and Maitreya was reduced a little, but invisibly, another layer of sweat broke out on my body.
"It's clear." Maitreya stared at the three lotus women who were slowly crawling around the stone coffin, and whispered: "Just because this is the coffin of King Yu, those messy things in the river will protect this boat desperately, they protect this boat, in fact, they protect this coffin!" If that's right, King Yu is in this coffin! "
I don't want to argue with Maitreya at this time, because I don't believe him very much. But Maitreya's expression and tone didn't look like he was lying, nor like he was talking, and I was so confused that I couldn't tell the truth from the fake. Because I didn't really see the wooden statues and sarcophagi when I was in the eye of the river at that time, my perception came from speculation and inference.
Who does the stone coffin in this ancient ship belong to? Belong to King Yu? So whose tomb is the tomb in the eye of the river?
The three lotus women have been confronting the stone coffin for a long time, except for the Zhenhe mirror, they are not afraid of anything, but they have an indescribable fear of this stone coffin, and they crawl around the coffin.
"This kind of murderous thing, there are really no taboos, even King Yu's coffin dares to touch it!" Maitreya gritted his teeth, held the gun, and said, "We don't care so much, stain the mirror with blood!" "
It seems that Maitreya wants to fight with the lotus woman again, but I am confused, but I always feel that my grandfather is in the stone coffin, and I don't believe that there will be two sarcophagi that are exactly the same.
At this time, a lotus woman attached to the edge of the stone coffin, opened her mouth and gnawed down, the lotus woman's teeth were moved by the Yin Mountain Road, sharp unimaginable, like jagged. Although it was impossible to gnaw through the coffin, this lotus woman gnawed down, and her sharp teeth rubbed against the stone coffin.
"Damn!" Maitreya immediately raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger with his fingers.

The stone coffin, which had been lifeless, shook suddenly, and the lid on it moved, cracking a very narrow slit.
