The South China Sea Returns to the Ruins Chapter 15 The Kuroshio Floating Coffin (II)

Although the black tide that came up from the bottom of the sea was large, it would not be long before it would settle and disappear, and we looked at the boat for a long time, trying to find the carcass of the big cuttlefish that Uncle Ming said, even if it was impossible for us to bring it back with this boat, it would be good to open our eyes. As a result, I really found that there was a white object floating on the sea in the distance, and I felt that it was not small from a distance, so I quickly asked the boat boss Ruan Hei to bring the boat closer, and Uncle Ming had already grabbed the telescope and looked at it first: "I lost his old mother a black ...... It's amazing...... Not dead fish...... The sea is like a coffin...... White ......"

I thought I heard it wrong, how could there be a white coffin floating on the sea, and I was looking for Uncle Ming to look at the telescope, but at this time, the "trident" was already close to the past, and it was getting closer and closer to the white whirring object, and it could be seen clearly with the naked eye, and there was indeed a white stone coffin on the sea surging with the ocean current. The number of coffins we've seen in our group is too many, and we can't be wrong with our eyesight.

Waiting for the ship to get closer, it is even more real, the rectangular coffin is flat and neat, the edges and corners are seen, the volume is very large, the unusual sarcophagus, it is not a problem to contain two or three zongzi inside. The surface is finely carved, some places are wrapped in a layer of gray-white mottled polyps, there are several thick chains fixed the sarcophagus, closed tightly, the rusty chains are firmly tied together with a thing under the surface of the sarcophagus, the sarcophagus rises and falls, there is a black object larger than the four eight immortal tabletops, with the ups and downs of the ocean current, it is this thing that holds it, the sarcophagus did not sink to the bottom of the sea.

Maybe this thing was also washed to the surface of the sea by the water dragon from the bottom of the sea, and I have never seen anything strange in my life. I had the heart to fish this thing out and take a look, but before I could speak, I heard someone behind me preparing a crane arm to fish out the "green head" sent by the dragon lord. It turned out that I don't know when, the fat man woke up from wine, and saw that everyone found a floating coffin in the sea, if there was a coffin, there must be zongzi and bright utensils in it, and he was in ecstasy, so he immediately showed his true face and wanted to make waves.

Ruan Hei, the boss of the boat, hurriedly dissuaded the fat man: "Is our salvage team going to be egg farmers and picking eggs in the coral spiral, or don't make any extraneous branches, who can tell the things in the sea clearly?" Maybe there are monsters in this coffin, so let's not ask for trouble, and there is a coffin on the boat, it's too unlucky, I'm afraid something will happen. I think we should not be able to see it, anyway, if we don't catch it, we won't suffer anything, so why bother causing trouble? ”

Before the fat man could speak, Uncle Ming said to Ruan Hei on his behalf: "Oh, I said Old Ruan, you don't know this fat boy too well, who is this fat boy?" He doesn't take advantage of it, he thinks it's a loss, I think we still rely on him, and take a look at the green head in the sea. Otherwise, if he feels uncomfortable, it will be a big trouble for our ship......"

In fact, Uncle Ming was more anxious than the fat man to salvage this sarcophagus on the ship, and took advantage of the steps in Ruan's black words to put the responsibility on the fat man, and when the fat man heard that the Hong Kong peasants dared to ruin his glorious image in the eyes of the masses, he immediately became annoyed, and he rolled up his sleeves and slammed his fists to beat people.

I hurriedly stopped them: "Uncle Ming, you are really looking for a draw, even if you want to slander Wang Fatzi, you should plan in the secret room and light the fire at the grassroots level, how can you talk about it in person?" Isn't that tantamount to exposing the target? It can be seen that those of you who have not experienced the Cultural Revolution really have not understood the nature and laws of struggle, and I will teach you the essence of this when I go back, fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with people, and having endless fun. But the truth here is too deep, and you may not be able to understand a bad person like you...... And you are the fat man, too, how can you be rough with Uncle Ming when he is so old? We must be in line with the principle of equality in the face of the truth, we must convince people with reason in everything, and we must be reasonable no matter what, and if he says something you don't like to hear in the future, you can reason with him first, or even scold him. Scolding is nothing, Mr. Lu Xun is in a hurry and scolds, if necessary, you can even put a hat on him, but you must not beat people, if you really want to fight, you have to find an occasion where no one is to beat, so we will not be embarrassed. You said that we are all members of a team, and you beat him up in front of everyone, should we stop him or not? ”

Uncle Ming may have really said something for a while just now, when he saw the fat man's eyes, he was suddenly frightened, and he couldn't wait to jump into the sea and hide, so he had to regret it, and he was close to the fat man, claiming that he was too excited to see the "green head" at that moment just now, and his split personality recurred, and he didn't even know what he said.

Then Shirley Young said to me, "If you get entangled any longer, the coffin will float away with the sea." "I was reminded by her, and quickly asked Gu Chai to prepare the hook, and the fat man and Uncle Ming went to clean the back deck, only the rear deck of the ship had more space. Doling connected the water pipes, ready to wash away the dirt on the stone coffin.

Everyone went their separate ways, and after a lot of busy work, they finally hoisted the stone coffin in the sea. The crane arm hung it in the stern of the ship, and it turned out that under the stone coffin was locked with a huge turtle remains, Duo Ling and Gu Chai had both grown up in a hard working environment, and they were both good at work, and they were very familiar with the behavior of the ship, so they turned on the water hose and washed the seaweed and dirt on the stone coffin with black currents.

The water flows everywhere, some details on the side of the white stone coffin are gradually revealed, densely carved with many strange symbols, Shirley Yang has excellent eyesight, although the stone coffin is still hanging in the air, she has already discovered: "It seems to be carved with the pattern of the Book of Changes, Lao Hu, you know the hexagram, take a look at what it is?" ”

Uncle Ming waved his hand to give a signal, Ruan Hei took back the hook, and as he gradually approached, many gossip patterns appeared on the stone coffin, but there were too many gray-white coral cocoons, and not many parts could be seen clearly. Everyone hurriedly unloaded it on the back deck, and there were still intact corpses in the turtle shell, the body had not yet dissolved, and it seemed that it had not been dead for too long, but judging by the appearance of this stone coffin, it was at least a few thousand years of antiquity. As the saying goes, "the king of a thousand years, the turtle of ten thousand years", the life span of the turtle is far longer than that of other creatures, and I don't know how many years this giant turtle lived with a stone coffin before dying.

The tortoise shell of the coffin is also engraved with lines, but it is still difficult to identify, the erosion caused by the underwater environment to these things is too great, and now I can only hope that some things in the stone coffin are still left, and the fat man found a probe claw to pry open the coffin cover. The cracks in the coffin cover were sealed with mud and sealed tightly. Pry open to see, there is still another layer of coffin inside, and the carving on the inside of the lid of the stone coffin is still well preserved, wash away the dirt on it with water, the concave is prominent, it is a hexagram in the Book of Changes. Looking at several characteristic details, they are consistent with the part of the jade statue restored by Professor Chen.
