Chapter 106 Black Tide Floating Coffin (Part 2)
Although the black tide coming up from the bottom of the sea is huge, it will settle and disappear soon. We looked on the boat for a long time, trying to find the carcass of the big cuttlefish that Uncle Ming mentioned, even if our boat could not take it. It was good to take it back and open my eyes. I actually found a white object floating on the sea in the distance. It looked quite big from a distance. I quickly asked the boss of the boat, Ruan Hei, to get closer to the boat. Uncle Ming had already He grabbed the telescope and looked over first: "I'm so ashamed of his mother...it's really strange...it's not a dead fish...it seems like there is a coffin floating on the sea...it's white..."
I thought I heard it wrong. How could there be a white coffin floating on the sea? I was about to ask Uncle Ming for a telescope to take a look, but at this time the "Trident" was already approaching, and it was getting closer and closer to the white object. The closer we get, the more we can see it clearly with the naked eye. There is indeed a white stone coffin floating in the sea with the ocean currents. Our group has seen countless coffins, and our eyesight is absolutely unmistakable.
When the boat came closer, I saw it more clearly. The rectangular coffin was flat and neat, with jagged edges and corners. It was very large and different from an ordinary sarcophagus. It would not be a problem to fit two or three rice dumplings inside. The surface was finely carved, and in some places Wrapped in a layer of gray and white mottled coral polyps, there are several thick chains that fix the sarcophagus, which is tightly closed. The rusty chains firmly tie the sarcophagus to something under the sea. The sarcophagus rises and falls, There is a black object larger than the table of the Four Eight Immortals. It rises and falls with the ocean currents. It is this object that holds the sarcophagus from sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Maybe this thing was washed to the surface from the bottom of the sea by the water dragon. I saw something strange that I had never seen before in my life. I wanted to fish this thing out and have a look. Before I could say anything, I heard someone making noises behind me. Quickly prepare the crane arm to fish out the "green head" sent by the Dragon King. It turns out that at some point, the fat man woke up from alcohol and saw that everyone found a floating coffin in the sea. If there is a coffin, there must be rice dumplings in it. He Mingqi, in his ecstasy, immediately showed his true colors and wanted to make trouble.
The boss of the ship, Ruan Hei, quickly dissuaded the fat man: "Our salvage team is going to be egg hunters and collect eggs in the coral spiral. It's better not to get into trouble. Who can say clearly about things in the sea? Maybe there are monsters in this coffin, so let's just Don't ask for trouble. It's very unlucky to have a coffin on board. I'm afraid something will happen. I think we can just pretend we can't see it. Anyway, we won't suffer any loss if we don't fish it out, so why bother? Are you causing trouble?"
Before the fat man could speak, Uncle Ming said to Ruan Hei on his behalf: "Oh, Old Ruan, you don't understand this fat boy very well. Who is this fat boy? If he doesn't take advantage, he feels he is at a disadvantage. Well, I think we should obey him and fish out this green head from the sea. Otherwise, if we make him feel unhappy, it will be the biggest trouble on our ship..."
In fact, Uncle Ming was more anxious than Fatty to salvage the sarcophagus on the ship, and used the steps in Ruan Hei's words to shift all the blame to Fatty. When Fatty heard that Hong Kong farmers dared to tarnish his glorious image in the eyes of the masses, Fatty was immediately angry. He stood up, rolled up his sleeves and raised his fists to hit someone.
I quickly stopped them: "Uncle Ming, you are really looking for trouble. Even if you want to slander Fatty Wang, you should plan it in a secret room and set fire to the grassroots. How can you talk about it in person? Isn't this tantamount to exposing the target? You really have no idea. To understand the nature and laws of struggle, I will teach you the essence of it when you go back. Fighting with heaven, earth, and people is endless fun, but the truth here is too deep. A bad person like you I really may not be able to understand... And you, too, fat man, how can you use force with Uncle Ming at such an old age? We must adhere to the principle that everyone is equal before the truth, and we must convince people with reason in everything, no matter what Be reasonable. If he says something you don't like to hear in the future, you can reason with him first, or even scold him. It's okay to scold him. Mr. Lu Xun even scolded people when he was anxious. You can even put a hat on him when necessary, but Qian You must never hit someone. If you really want to fight, you should do it where no one is around. This way we won’t be in trouble. You say that we are all members of the same team. If you beat him in front of everyone, should we stop him or not? Woolen cloth?"
Uncle Ming might have just made a mistake, but when he saw the fat man staring, he suddenly became angry and wished he could jump into the sea to hide, so he had no choice but to act regretful and get close to the fat man again and again, claiming that he had just seen " "Qingtou", he was too emotional, his split personality disorder recurred, and he didn't even know what he said.
At this time Shirley Yang said to me: "If you keep getting entangled, the coffin will float away with the sea water." After her reminder, I quickly asked Guchai to prepare the hook, and Fatty and Uncle Ming went to clean the back deck. Only the back deck has a larger space. Duoling connected the water pipe and prepared to wash away the dirt on the stone coffin.
Everyone worked separately, and after a lot of busy work, they finally lifted the stone coffin from the sea. The crane hung it on the stern of the ship. It turned out that the bottom of the sarcophagus was locked with a huge turtle skeleton. Duo Ling and Guchai grew up in a hard working environment. He is a good worker and is very familiar with the behavior on the ship. Without my further instructions, he turned on the water tap and used the black water to wash away the seaweed and algae on the stone coffin. Dirt.
The water flowed everywhere, and some details on the side of the white stone coffin were gradually revealed. Many strange symbols were densely engraved on it. Shirley Yang had excellent eyesight. Although the stone coffin was still hanging in the air, she had already discovered something: "It looks like a sculpture on it." Looking at the patterns of the I Ching, Lao Hu, you know the hexagrams, let’s see what they are?”
Uncle Ming waved his hand to give a signal, and Ruan Hei retracted the hook. 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 It was unloaded on the back deck. There was still a complete corpse in the turtle shell. The body had not yet melted away. It seemed that it had not been dead for a long time. However, judging from the appearance of this stone coffin, it was at least thousands of years old. As the saying goes, "thousands of years old" "The bastard, the tortoise of ten thousand years". The lifespan of the tortoise is far longer than that of other living creatures. It is unknown how many years this giant tortoise lived with its stone coffin on its back before it died.
The tortoise shell of the coffin is also engraved with patterns, but it is still difficult to identify. The seabed environment has eroded these things too much. Now we can only hope that some of the things in the stone coffin are still preserved. The fat man came to find the claws to pry the coffin. After opening the coffin cover, the gaps in the coffin cover were sealed with mud, and the seal was very tight. When we pried it open, we found that there was another layer of coffins inside, and the carvings on the inside of the stone coffin cover were still intact. We washed away the above with water. The dirt, the concave and convex appearance, is a hexagram image in the Book of Changes. Looking at several characteristics and details, they all match the part of the jade statue that was demobilized by Professor Chen.
