Volume 2 Eyes of the Deep Chapter 31 Handprints under the Ship

The change in An Ye's face made my heart move, could it be that he knew what was under our ship just now? Lantern Xiao leaned over and asked, "Uncle An, what did you find?" ”

An Ye waved his hand, signaling that he would talk about it later, and then turned his head to the group of guys next to him and shouted, "Boat boss!" Lao Ding! Are you there? ”

A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, "An Ye, what do you command?" ”

An Ye called Boss Ding to him and whispered a few words, Boss Ding nodded, and then walked away quickly.

We were all a little puzzled and didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Anye's gourd.

After a while, Boss Ding walked back, still holding a small paper bag in his hand, I looked at it carefully, and found that there was some yellow powder in it.

Boss Ding handed the paper bag to An Ye, and after An Ye opened the paper bag, he gently sprinkled it on the bottom of our rubber boat, and after sprinkling it, he smeared it with paper.

After doing all this, An Ye stood up and quietly looked at the bottom of the boat, and several of us also gathered around curiously.

Looking at the yellow powder on the bottom of the boat, the second uncle raised his nose and sniffed, frowned, and said, "This is sulfur powder!" Hearing what the second uncle said, I also sniffed it carefully, and sure enough, there was a faint smell of sulfur in the air.

Lantern Xiao pointed to the powder on the bottom of the boat and said, "Uncle An, what are you doing here?" ”

An Ye smiled, "I don't need to say it, you can see for yourself." As he spoke, we looked in the direction of his finger and were surprised to see that some less obvious marks were slowly emerging on the bottom of the boat, and the color of these marks was reddish-brown, as if they had been imprinted on the bottom of the boat. We were all very surprised by this change, but what surprised us even more was the shape of these marks, which looked very scary.

Qi Feng, who was next to An Ye, pointed to the traces on the bottom of the boat in horror, and already stammered a little: "This, this seems to be, it's a child's, handprint!" ”

Everyone's expressions instantly became very nervous, and suddenly the ship was silent, no one spoke, only the sound of long or short, but some rapid breathing was heard.

Boss Ding looked at these handprints and immediately became panicked, "This, this is, water ghost!" There are water ghosts in the sea! As he spoke, he hurriedly beckoned to those guys, "Quick, quick, bring a bucket of sulfur powder from below!" Sprinkle into the sea! ”

Before Boss Ding finished speaking, he was slapped from behind by An Ye, "Call a fart!" Panic what! I don't even know what it is, so I toss! ”

Lantern Xiao on the side also waved his hand at those guys, "Hurry up and put it back!" Then he turned to An Ye and said, "Uncle An, you tell us, what kind of allusion is this?" ”

An Ye waved his hand, "Let's talk about it inside!" With that, he went back to the cabin first.

I whispered to Second Uncle Wen, "Why does this Ding boss use sulfur when he mentions water ghosts?" Is there any explanation for this? ”

The second uncle told me that there are several ways to restrain the water ghosts, such as the last time on the old thunder head's boat, when he drove away the water ghost hair wrapped around my ankle, he used soot. Just now Ding Boss said that sulfur is also a kind, and legend has it that ghosts are afraid of the smell of sulfur, and water ghosts scattered in the sea will not invade.

"I see." I nodded.

This is Lantern Xiao coming over and patting me, "Zhuo Ran, Niu Cha!" Are you really being carried over by the imps? ”

"Your uncle! Come on! I knocked his hand off, "Don't say it, when I think about it now, it's goosebumps!" "I talked and laughed with Lantern Festival, as if I had returned to the time when I was in Qilian Mountain.

A few of us returned to the cabin, and at this time there were only those left in the cabin, Second Uncle, me, Wen Mo, An Ye, Qi Feng, Lantern Xiao and Zhou Cheng, this should be regarded as the core lineup of this team at present, of course, I have to admit that I should be the most inexperienced and weakest one in this.

Lantern Xiao took the lead and sat down with a big grin, "I said Uncle An, now there are no outsiders here, you can quickly say, what the hell is going on?" ”

An Ye glanced at us, "The people present are all experts, everyone understands in their hearts, I won't hide it, we all know that the place we went to this time is probably related to Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, and it is more likely to be related to the incident when Xu Fu went to sea to find the elixir." ”

An Ye paused, "I, Yuan An, am not a stingy person, since everyone is in the same boat, I don't have to worry about anything, I will tell you an experience of my early years, and when I finish speaking, everyone will understand." ”

This Yuan family is a family of antiques, although they dare not claim to be famous, but they definitely have their own prestige and power. In the earliest days, the Yuan family settled in Nanjing, and was known as the four great masters of the antique world together with the Tang family in Beijing, the Nie family in Xi'an and the Tan family in Chengdu. It is said that it is the antique world, but in fact, at that time, there were no big players of these inverted antiques who did not participate in the inverted fight, and each of them had their own faction. This is also a secret that everyone in the industry knows back then.

Later, due to war and other relations, the Yuan family moved from Nanjing to Guizhou, but its sphere of influence was still in the Jiangnan region. As a descendant of the Yuan family, Yuan An participated in some family inverted activities very early, and often went out to find the ancient tomb of the Spirit Cave on his own.

Yuan An is a very bold person, and his skills are not bad, plus the family background behind him, so he was a little empty-eyed when he was young. So most of the time I go out alone.

Once, he came to the south of Guizhou, located at the intersection of Guangxi and Yunnan provinces, this place has always been dominated by ethnic minorities, many ethnic minorities have their own unique funeral methods, and the customs of the Central Plains are very different, so Yuan An is basically useless here, so during that time, he is mainly to play in the mountains and rivers, and by the way to collect some antique ornaments of ethnic minorities.

One day Yuan An came to the banks of the Hongshui River, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, the mountains are high and low, Yuan An stood on the top of the mountain and looked around, and casually found a few treasure caves with good feng shui. Yuan An couldn't help but think secretly, but unfortunately few people of the local ethnic minorities have the same feng shui burial customs as the Central Plains, otherwise this generation will definitely be able to find a big tomb.

Thinking of this, Yuan An also laughed at himself, thinking that he was really an occupational disease, he wanted to fix his pulse when he saw the landscape, and when he saw the feng shui treasure cave, he wanted to go to the tomb.

Just thinking about it, Yuan An suddenly noticed that under a mountain beam, there was a place where the vegetation was very sparse, which was in stark contrast to the surrounding luxuriness. Yuan An immediately realized the anomaly, which meant that the soil in that place had been moved. An experienced soil rake like him has very keen feelings.

Yuan An went down the mountain, came to the bottom of the mountain beam, looked at it carefully, and was more sure of the thoughts in his heart. Yuan An squatted down and touched the soil with his hands, reached out and took out a small sapper shovel from his bag, and dug down a few times. In fact, the professional tool at this time should be the Luoyang shovel. But the Luoyang shovel is too conspicuous, if it is discovered by the police when entering and leaving the station, it will be very troublesome, because the person who carries this kind of thing with him is either an archaeological team or a tomb robber, and it is impossible to have a one-person archaeological team! Therefore, Yuan An went out alone and never only brought sapper shovels. put some flower and plant specimens in the bag, plus Yuan An looks more elegant, it is easy to be regarded as a plant lover and get by.

Yuan An's shovels went down, and he immediately found the problem, these soils were mixed with some lime plaster. There will be no construction work in the middle of the mountain, and the only possible thing is that there is an ancient tomb underneath.

Because of the heavy rain in the south, when the tomb was built, in order to make the tomb more solid and have a certain waterproof function, a relatively viscous plaster soil will be used, and quicklime will also be used in the tomb to remove insects. Such changes in the soil layer will inevitably affect the surrounding vegetation. Therefore, Yuan An synthesized these circumstances and quickly determined the layout of this ancient tomb.

The vast majority of the construction of ancient tombs are based on the trend, either sitting in the north and facing south, or sitting in the west and facing east, and the direction is always due south and east. At this time, Yuan An initially judged that this ancient tomb would follow the mountain and sit north and face south. However, when he set the pattern of this ancient tomb, Yuan An was stunned, because the ancient tomb under his feet not only did not sit north and face south along the mountain, but also the direction was not correct at all, and the whole ancient tomb presented a pattern facing the northeast.
