Chapter 7: The Crypt Bronze Coffin
With white fish as food, Gan Ningyuan's life is comfortable again, and in addition to fishing, he practices the patterns on the steps every day.
Time flies, and more than a year has passed in a flash, and what makes Gan Ningyuan fortunate is that the white fish in the waterhole seem to be inexhaustible.
On this day, he came to the edge of the stone wall and climbed more than ten feet along the vines, his movements were relaxed and freehand.
In the past two years, he has never given up looking for the mechanism, and he has searched this Xiaogu inside and out I don't know how many times, but he still found nothing.
However, he has always believed that there must be a way out of this small valley, because whether it is the small man painted on the steps or the stone bed in the stone room, it shows that it must have been inhabited.
Entered the stone room and sat on the stone bed, patting on the edge of the bed.
"Could it be that the exit is really under the waterhole?" Gan Ningyuan chewed on the vine leaves, his brows furrowed. He had already guessed this more than once.
The small waterhole is bottomless, and the white fish in it are inexhaustible, so it is no wonder that he has such a conjecture.
But it was just a conjecture, the white fish was too ferocious, and he didn't dare to jump into the pool to find out.
With a plopping sound, Gan Ningyuan only felt that he had lost weight in an instant, and kept falling.
The sudden scene startled him, and there was a loud noise under the grabbing of both hands, and it was actually two iron chains.
Grasping the chain and hanging it in the air, the sound of the clamor was endless, and I looked down through the faint light, and I couldn't see the bottom at a glance, but faintly saw a glimmer of blue light at the end.
He was already familiar with everything in the valley, and now he was very surprised to discover this secret passage.
Unable to hold back the excitement in his heart, he went down the chain, and after about a pillar of incense, he saw the bottom, and the blue light was the size of a fist.
Gan Ningyuan was finally down-to-earth, and his heart was slightly relieved, but then he was dumbfounded, because this place was sealed on all sides, and only two iron chains were tied to a copper coffin, and the copper coffin was still more than a zhang away from the ground, and it was still shaking gently at this time.
"Who could be in this?" Gan Ningyuan was a little scared at first, but then he became curious, approached the copper coffin, and found that it was not difficult to push open the lid of the coffin, but he was a little apprehensive.
After a slight struggle in his heart, he finally pushed it with both hands, removed the lid, and when he fixed his eyes, there was a pair of white bones lying inside, and the lower half of the white bones had no foot bones, only half of them.
In addition, the two hand bones are crossed on the chest, and a handkerchief-like cloth is pressed.
"Is it a woman?" Gan Ningyuan was a little surprised, and subconsciously picked up the cloth and looked at it.
Helplessly, this cloth doesn't seem to have any mysteries, and it's just ordinary.
Bowed a few times to the white bones, covered the coffin, and turned around again, to make sure that there was no exit, Gan Ningyuan was depressed in his heart again, if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would die of old age in this small valley.
An hour later, Gan Ningyuan walked up the chain, came to the stone room, rested for a while, and came to the waterhole.
The cloth was also brought out and washed in the waterhole, and it felt smoother.
"How can this be? It's so strange!" Bu Yushui changed, and some symbols actually appeared on it, these symbols were no different from words, but Gan Ningyuan didn't recognize any of them.
"By the way, where is the blue light?" he thought violently again, recognizing himself from his contemplation. Before going down to the crypt, I saw a blue light underneath, but when I looked closer, it disappeared.
The more I thought about it, the weirder it became, and I put the cloth away, intending to explore the crypt again.
When I came to the crypt, I saw blue light in the distance, but when I got close to the bronze coffin, there was no more luminous light.
This strange phenomenon made Gan Ningyuan elusive, and he had to give up after being puzzled.
He didn't recognize any of the strange words on the cloth, and the blue light was far away and near, which made him a little frustrated.
After a period of time, Gan Ning has gone to the crypt no less than dozens of times, but he still found nothing.
Approaching noon, Gan Ningyuan finally made up his mind, he planned to risk his life to go to the waterhole to see the situation.
He didn't dare to alarm the white fish, so he sneaked into the water, and at the same time his nerves were tense, and he always kept an eye on the movement in the water.
Dive two feet, three feet,... It was almost seven feet long.
Suddenly, a white fish appeared, from the bottom up, so fast, that it was in front of you in a blink of an eye.
Gan Ningyuan was a little nervous, and hurriedly slapped a palm with brute force, in the water, his strength was removed a lot, but the white fish was still impacted and was opened far away.
I thought that I would avoid danger, but three or four big white clothes jumped out one after another, which frightened Gan Ningyuan, and he kicked with all his strength on the white fish, and took advantage of the situation to go upstream.
Fortunately, he was not far from the water, and with help, he surfaced in just a moment, snapped on the surface of the water, and immediately went ashore.
The white fish didn't catch up, and seemed to be a little afraid of him.
Sitting on the stone to calm down, Gan Ningyuan really couldn't be happy, if the outlet was really underwater, not to mention the threat of the white fish, even the pressure of the deep water he was powerless to resist.
Thinking like this, Gan Ningyuan could only find another way.
The waterhole couldn't get in, and he put his mind on the crypt again, he felt that there was something hidden in the crypt that he didn't know, and the mystery of the blue light disappearance alone could make him think about it for a long time.
No matter what, the days have to go by day by day, and things can't be rushed.
After half a month like this, the hard work paid off, and Gan Ningyuan finally found some clues.
He noticed that every time he descended the chain, he came to a place where the stone wall was slightly raised, and the blue light below it would disappear without a trace.
After many attempts, he confirmed this discovery, so he used it as an introduction to explore the next place, what is the difference between this place, and what is the light, color, and light? These two questions are not easy to figure out, but Gan Ningyuan has time now.
"Maybe it has something to do with the copper coffin!" After a few days of fruitless results, Gan Ning was far from being able to go to the end with a tendon and decided to change the direction.
It's just that the bronze coffin is nothing special, it is tightly fastened by two iron chains, and if there is a mechanism, he will definitely be able to find it.
"Iron chains!" Gan Ningyuan seemed to be grasping something, and he ignored the iron chains from beginning to end. Just because the iron chain is the most conspicuous and the most ordinary.
Climb the chain, come to the slight convexity of the stone wall, and then check the chain, and then there is a surprising discovery.
Some of the iron chains leaned towards the protruding stones in the slightly convex places of the stone wall, as if they were attracted by something, and if they were not careful, they would not be able to find it at all.
Gan Ningyuan looked at the convex wall in a daze, because in order to break the mystery of the iron chain being attracted, he had to find a way to chisel the stone wall open.
However, Gan Ningyuan was bare-handed and had no tools, and it was simply wishful thinking to chisel open the convex wall.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gan Ningyuan was still unwilling and wanted to find something hard to try.
I compared it up and down, and finally chose a satisfactory thing.
