Chapter 259: Shipwreck
Underwater ruins!
And it was the Shang Dynasty nearly 4,000 years ago.
This is something that has never been recorded in history, and it has never appeared in history.
Judging by the size and spacing of the columns, the extent of this ruin should be very large, and it was also a magnificent building 4,000 years ago!
But will there be a certain relationship between this architectural ruin and the owner of the ancient tomb you are looking for?
Will it have anything to do with the ghost girl?
Although there is no substantial discovery now, Xu Tianchuan feels in his heart that there should be!
Because historical time is perfectly right.
I was looking for the owner of the tomb of the Shang Dynasty, and it happened that there was a building of the Shang Dynasty, even if it was a coincidence, it would not be such a coincidence.
So there should be a relationship between the two.
As for what kind of building this collapsed is, and why it was built in such a low-lying place, it is impossible to guess for the time being, and there is no way to carefully examine the remains of this building under the water, because it is buried too deep under the silt at the bottom of the water, and without goggles, digging by hand alone will cause the river to become muddy.
Besides, I only have two hours to spare, and in those two hours, I have to spare at least twenty minutes to go up for ventilation, so strictly speaking, there is only one and a half hours, and it is definitely impossible to waste time here.
Xu Tianchuan gestured to the Xing Chang next to him, signaling to look elsewhere first, because the visibility around was low, and it seemed that the surroundings were flat for the time being, but maybe there would be ruins exposed in other places.
After all, the collapse of the building could not have collapsed so completely, for example, the two columns just seen did not fall, unless someone deliberately filled the remains of the building with earth.
Regarding Xu Tianchuan's gesture in the water, Xing Chang nodded knowingly.
However, when Xu Tianchuan was about to leave with his limbs and paddling with water, his eyes suddenly subconsciously fell on the sunken ship not far away again.
This shipwreck looks ordinary, and it has nothing to do with this Shang Dynasty relic because there are thousands of generations in between.
But this doesn't matter because there is no age, and it doesn't mean that there is no causal relationship that caused the shipwreck.
And what re-attracted Xu Tianchuan's attention was that a golden light seemed to flash on the sunken ship, although it was only a flash and fleeting, but Xu Tianchuan was sure that he was not dazzled, it should be generated by the light of the miner's lamp on the head of the torturer.
Although the time was a little tight, Xu Tianchuan still decided to go over first to take a look at the situation.
Could it be a coincidence that such a large shipwreck appeared around the ruins?
Seeing that Xu Tianchuan suddenly changed direction and swam towards the sunken ship, Xing Chang immediately followed closely behind.
Because of the closer, the wreck can be seen more clearly, although because of the long time, some of the frames of the building ship have been seriously decorated, but it has not reached the level of becoming scum.
There is a proverb among the people, and tomb robbers often say: "Dry for a thousand years, wet for ten thousand years; Half a year if it's not dry or wet. ”
Why do tomb robbers use this phrase?
Because when the tomb robbers enter the ancient tomb, they usually judge the preservation degree of the burial goods through the environment of the ancient tomb, after all, the tomb robbers are going to the burial goods, if the burial goods are seriously damaged, it is basically equivalent to running an empty trip, so this sentence is also based on the tomb robbers' exploration of the ancient tombs for many years and summarized.
And the meaning of this sentence is that usually everything that is completely immersed in water will be well preserved, but the premise must be clean water, because this is equivalent to an environment where there is no bacterial breeding, especially dry and not easy to breed bacteria, and it is not easy to grow mold.
The most feared is the kind of environment that is neither dry nor wet, which is extremely prone to mildew and serious deterioration and rot.
The building ship in front of me that sank under the water belongs to the 'wet ten thousand years', because the river water is extremely clear, so there is no particularly serious decay, but there is obvious damage in some places, which should have been caused before the shipwreck.
The whole building ship is about fifteen meters long, because it is upright and sinks to the bottom, and there is no rollover, it looks about six or seven meters high, and the width is close to five or six meters, and there are three layers of wooden buildings built on the ship, from the appearance, it is very beautiful, and there are a lot of decorations, even if it is now sunk to the bottom of the water for thousands of years, you can still see the glory and colorfulness of the past.
But strictly speaking, it is too general to call it a 'building ship', because in the history of ancient ships, building ships mostly describe large warships, such as maritime armies and so on.
To be precise, this kind of ship should be called a 'flower boat'.
What is a flower boat? To explain it simply and rudely, that is, the Ji courtyard on the boat, you can row and swim while looking for the joy of fish and water.
I think about it, the feeling of changing it on the ship, even if I haven't tried it, it's very comfortable to think about it, and it's a very fast thing.
It can only be said that the ancients were very good at playing.
In the case of close distance, judging from the decorations and patterns on the outside of the flower boat, it can be basically determined that it is a product of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
However, Xu Tianchuan was also surprised to find that the damage of this flower ship was very strange, with obvious marks similar to being scratched and bitten, especially at the bottom of the side, there was a large hole, which should also be one of the main reasons for the wreck.
"Devils?"
Xu Tianchuan first thought of the son of the ghost god in his mind, or the one he met before.
At least from the mouth, the size and size are very similar.
If that's the case, it's normal.
After roughly circling around the flower boat, Xu Tianchuan swam his body, like a fish at the bottom of the water, and boarded the flower boat.
The planks of the ship were very wide, and the gate of the building faced the deck in front of it, and a wooden door was half-covered, revealing a gap almost half a meter wide.
Because of the limited line of sight, it is pitch black inside.
Even if he deliberately used the miner's lamp on his forehead to look inside, he couldn't see anything at all, and all of them were suppressed in a gloomy and dead silence.
After thinking briefly for a while, Xu Tianchuan cautiously approached the past, then stabilized his body in the water, stretched out his hand, and planned to open the door and go in to see the situation.
Call!
That is, the moment Xu Tianchuan approached the door and stretched out his hand, suddenly a huge gray shadow rushed out from the crack in the wooden door, because the force was very large, so it surged around.
Although Xu Tianchuan did some psychological precautions in advance, because it was too sudden, and the huge gray shadow that rushed out from behind the wooden door was extremely fast, even if he did psychological precautions in advance, he couldn't dodge at all, and was directly hit by this gray shadow on his chest.
Fortunately, the force of the impact is not particularly large!
Seeing this, the torturer behind him also took out the stainless steel fan on his waist and unfolded it for the first time.
The embarrassing thing is that this is underwater, and under the resistance of the water, his posture of opening the steel fan is not as chic as on land, and even the first time he has not completely thrown the steel fan away.
But in the next second, Xu Tianchuan reacted calmly, and was surprised to see that what slammed into him was not an abnormal creature or a ghost, but an ordinary big grass carp, with a volume of at least 100 catties, swimming in the water like the size of a pig!
Underwater is a world of fish creatures, and it should be that my arrival just now startled the fish hiding in the flower boat.
A false alarm!
It turned out to be just a false alarm!
But this also exposes a very serious problem, their ability to adapt underwater is seriously weakened, even a fish can not avoid, if you really encounter any ghosts and evil under the water, I am afraid it is equivalent to food delivered to the door.
Even so, Xu Tianchuan still wants to give it a look.
Xu Tianchuan slowly calmed down and reached out to push the wooden door open.
Because of the resistance of the water, the door appears heavy.
Fortunately, the flower boat is sunk vertically and head-on, and if it is tilted or inverted, it is not as simple as being resisted by the water, but by the water pressure.
When the wooden door opened, the Xing Chang behind him also shone the light pillar of the miner's lamp into it for the first time.
In this case, the interior of the first floor of the flower boat is in full view.
The space inside the flower boat is very large, and there are many huge fish swimming, and when Xu Tianchuan opened the door, these fish obviously began to scurry around in the flower boat.
As for the decoration and layout of the flower boat, it is completely according to the ancient Qinglou Ji Courtyard, there are many low tables, and there are many wine glasses and porcelain, but it may be because of the sinking of the ship, so it is a mess everywhere, as if it had been a war.
In addition, Xu Tianchuan also noticed that there were many white bones scattered on the ground, and Bai Sensen's skull.
This 'quite a few' is a lot, just Xu Tianchuan casually glanced at it, and there were nearly twenty heads, all of which sank on the floor of the ship, giving people a gloomy and treacherous feeling.
As you can imagine, the flower boat was very lively at that time, and the shipwreck accident was still sudden, and many people were unable to escape.
But if this flower boat was really done by the son of the ghost god, shouldn't the people on the flower boat be eaten as food? How is it possible that so many corpses will still be left?
Xu Tianchuan and Xing Chang roamed around the ship, and found no anomalies other than the corpse heads and the messy scene.
As for the golden light that I had just seen outside, it was some gold ingots scattered at the bottom of the shipbuilding, as well as silver ingots and some scattered copper coins.
As a place of fireworks in green buildings, these yellow and white things must be inevitable.
If it were anything else, it would have been a lot of money, and even some of the wine glasses and porcelain were antique.
But now it's different, on the one hand, it's inconvenient to carry, and the main reason is that Xu Tianchuan puts all his focus on the tomb owner of the ancient tomb and the ghost god, and he is no longer interested in these at all.
Go upstairs and have a look, and if you don't find anything else, just leave, so as not to waste any more time here!
Xu Tianchuan gestured to the Xing Chang next to him and pointed to it.
Although there are stairs on both sides of the ship, in this case, there is no need to take the stairs, just swim up.
The first floor is equivalent to the hall, then the second and third floors are equivalent to private rooms, almost every room is closed doors, only a few are half-covered, just around the entire ship, there are almost twenty rooms in total.
Now drink flower wine on the first floor, and then go to the second floor to open a room.
This is a set of procedures, not to mention ancient times, even in the new century, basically according to this process.
After swimming to the second floor, Xu Tianchuan casually pushed open the door of a room and looked at it, there was still a mess inside, and some completely scattered Bai Sensen bones were scattered everywhere in the room, judging from the two heads, it should be two skeletons, ninety percent of them were a man and a woman, and there was nothing abnormal about anything else.
Xu Tianchuan didn't even enter, and then casually pushed open a door next to him.
It's roughly the same as just now, even the furnishings of the room are very similar, except that there seem to be more bones scattered in the room, and there are as many as four heads, which seems to be a group split.
In ancient times, life in this area was also relatively chaotic.
If a professional archaeological team had come here, perhaps some documentation could have been made.
It seems that there are no clues related to the ancient tombs of the Shang Dynasty.
Then withdraw!
Before leaving, Xu Tianchuan pushed open the third door next door, and only intended to take a casual look.
But with this casual glance, Xu Tianchuan directly stood in place with wide eyes.
In this room, there was only one skeleton, and it was a complete skeleton, lying flat on a stepping bed.
In addition to the skeleton lying flat on the bed, there was a round table in the room.
What made Xu Tianchuan's eyes widen and feel strange was that there was a white shadow sitting next to the round table! It's a figure!
Call!
At the same time, Xing Chang next to him shook his hands violently, causing a surge around him, which was a subconscious gesture of Xing Chang's excitement.
It seems that Xing Chang also saw this white figure, and was very excited, swinging his arms again and again, trying to retreat!
"Ghost!"
Xu Tianchuan exclaimed in his heart, and he was also a ghost that could be seen in a regular manner.
As mentioned before, not all ghosts can only be seen by yin and yang eyes.
In some specific special circumstances, normal people can also see the existence of ghosts, but only a very few.
For the ghost Xu Tianchuan has been seen more than once or twice, so although he was surprised in his heart, he did not have the slightest fear and fear, because the ghost is only a supernatural phenomenon, and it cannot directly cause harm to people, not to mention his own Qinglong bloodline, the punishment is often Qilin bloodline, and ordinary ghosts can't get close.
I saw that this figure sitting at the round table was wearing a white robe, and judging from the long black hair like a waterfall, it should be a woman.
At this moment, the ghost suddenly moved its body slightly, and slowly raised its head.
