Chapter 56 Chapter 56: The Burial on the Coral Reef

At this time, the others were about to leave. I glanced at the two ropes hanging on the side of the boat and suddenly thought that the two men who went down seemed to have not come up yet, so I hurriedly said loudly: "The people below have not come up yet?" Yan Lang was stunned for a moment, and then saw him rushing to the side of the boat like crazy and shouting loudly to the boat, "Two Kingdoms! Two Kingdoms!" For a long time, no one answered.Everyone's hearts tugged, and a few guys ran to pull the rope, but judging from the strength of their shots, there was probably nothing on the other end of the rope.

The rope was pulled up, and I gasped immediately!There was blood all over the end of the rope! Yan Lang's face became extremely ugly, Zhang Qi took a look at the rope, and shouted: "Xiaolong! Get out with the gun!" At this moment, the scene became a little chaotic, several guys began to pull another rope, and others started to run into the cabin.As soon as I saw the situation, I was ready to follow to get the gun, but at this moment, someone pulled me from behind, and when I looked back, it was a shrimp. This guy has been standing by my side to watch the excitement after the ship turned off, and now he seems to be so frightened that his face is blue.I said to myself that you are afraid that you should go to your father, and when the time comes, you will still make trouble here.Hai Xiazi's lips trembled a few times, and he said, "Lord Dragon has taken in... My father told you to walk around... Don't shoot anything in the water..."

I was a little vague when I heard him speak, so I patted him and told him to let go. At this time, the guy there seemed to have pulled something up, but the situation was obviously not good, and several people exclaimed.I went over to have a look.Immediately frightened, a bloody mass of Dong Liang was placed under the awning, it was almost a mass of rotten flesh, but I knew it was a person, a person who was still alive! Yan Lang's pale face now had a hint of ferocity, and he snatched a guy's gun.Facing the sea is just a few shots.The other people were also extremely sad and angry, and more than a dozen tongues of fire were sprayed out into the sea.This kind of musket fires shotguns, with only five bullets, and after a while, it stops.

Yan Lang walked up to the rotten flesh-like corpse and observed it carefully for a long time.I thought it was a shark or some other large fish that attacked those two guys, but now it turns out it wasn't at all. When I got closer, I found that the corpse was very abnormal, as if it had been corroded by strong acid. There were not too many wounds, but the whole body was full of wounds, and none of them were good.This way of dying is terrible, and I immediately thought of Ling Chi in ancient times.Yan Lang sighed, said something to a guy beside him, and then entered the cockpit. The guy quickly found a sleeping bag and put the corpse in it. I was really timid, I didn't know whether it was fear or nausea, so I stood far away.A group of guys bowed to the corpse. I thought about it and bowed from a distance. Although I didn't know each other, the dead were the most important, and we were indeed on the same boat.

Then the two men picked up the bag containing the body and threw it into the sea without hesitation. With a "bang", my heart also trembled. This was almost more decisive than throwing a dead dog. I couldn't accept this kind of indifference. The fat man patted me, and said, "You look like an old man at first glance. Fat man, I've seen this scene too much, and I don't even bother to wrinkle my eyebrows. What kind of business can't do anything, and the driver might be hit. Those who run the boat might capsize. If you do such a shameful job, you should be ready to die without a whole body. So Xiao Liu, don’t be surprised if you see Fatty and I kick my legs one day. "

Although he is such a carefree person, he always gives me a pompous meaning, but these words make me feel a little sad.Ding Wenlong called five or six men to watch the night, and the others were called back to the cabin to rest.I looked at the two men cleaning up the mud in the coffin, always feeling a little uncomfortable. But after thinking about it, the coffin is near, and the ancient tomb must not be far away. Maybe it's time to fight at dawn, so it's better to take a rest. Fear, anxiety, uneasiness, confusion, these kinds of emotions intertwined made me toss and turn all night until a ray of light shot into the cabin before I fell asleep in a daze.

Near noon, the fat man came and woke me up. As soon as I got out of the cabin, the glare of the sun made me feel more at ease.The coffin has been cleared.Next to it was a pile of human bones, almost corroded by sea water, and there was also something that looked like a weapon. The fat man waved to me, and then he picked up the weapon and handed it to me.Looked at it, it should be a knife.Fatty pretended to be mysterious and said: "Do you know what it's called?" I shook my head, and he said, "Xiuchun Knife, used by Jinyiwei!" The knife is the Xiuchun knife, but there is no literature saying that other people cannot use this type of weapon.

The fat man let out a "hey" and picked up a ball of heavily corroded silk from the ground. I took a look and found that it was a blue-green silk brocade with good quality, otherwise it would not have been preserved in sea water for such a long time.Fatty threw the ball of silk brocade aside, and said, "Xiuchun Knife, Flying Fish Clothes. Fatty, what I said earlier is definitely not bad." I still couldn't believe it, when Liu Jingmeng walked up to her with a white jade plaque. "He's right. This man was indeed Jin Yiwei." Since that embarrassing night on the "Princess Mary", this woman seems to have been avoiding me on purpose, and at this moment she suddenly spoke to me, making me feel uncomfortable. I feel a little surprised.

However, he still took the plaque, which was palm-sized, horse milk jade, with a little bit of corpse soaking, two dragons were engraved on one side, and the word "Yi Luan Si" was engraved on the other side surrounded by hundreds of flowers. I had no choice but to nod my head, admitting the fat man's pretentious words.The predecessor of Jin Yiwei was indeed called "Yi Luan Division", as anyone with a little knowledge of history knows. The fat man told me that just after dawn in the morning, some guys went down with guns to check, but found nothing.When I walked to the side of the boat and looked down, I found that the water seemed to have risen a bit, and the sea surface was much calmer. Those jagged reefs turned out to be coral reefs. Our boat was leaning on the outermost edge of this coral reef, looking in. , The dense coral reefs can't see the end at all.

It is said that there are many unknown coral polyps growing in the coral reefs on the west coast of Australia. These coral polyps can even grow to more than three meters long. I don’t know if the tragedy last night was caused by this invertebrate. Sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at a large piece of coral reef, I cleaned up my mood thoroughly, and I knew that I would soon enter that sunless ancient tomb again. All the guys got busy, and I saw some diving equipment being taken out of the wooden box, and these guys assembled it with ease, and the rubber boat that had been placed at the stern was also lifted to the deck.

I went to look for Liangzi, still as a fellow villager, and there was no one around him at the moment, so I asked in a low voice, "These guys are not bad at skills, why don't you go down together?" Liangzi has been silent in the team. This is not his style. When I asked him, he said with a smile: "Do you think people like Yanlang will put all their treasures on us? The second echelon." "Dung Lord, it's too late for you to regret it now." I know that the latter sentence is what Ryoko wants to say, but the curse-like grimace must be resolved, so I have no room to retreat.I shook my head and said with a smile, "I'm not as short of an arm or a leg as you are, and besides, you, Liang Zi, are still here." Soon, Yan Lang summoned us to board the rubber boat. The coral reef was so complicated that big ships couldn't get in at all.Yan Lang explained something, saying that we should go down to the bucket to see what happens, and he handed Ding Wenlong a blueprint. Ding Wenlong took the blueprint and looked at Yan Lang, as if he wanted to say something, but Yan Lang quickly followed the instructions. The rope climbed back to the boat and never looked back. Before disembarking, everyone put on diving suits. Fatty's belly was too big. Although the diving suit was very elastic, it made him a little out of breath.At this moment, he felt uncomfortable, threw the oar to me, and said, "Comrade Liu, you paddle it off first. I have to process this old clothes." Liangzi and I rowed in the stern while Ding Wenlong stood at the bow to guide the way.The boat itself was not big, and now the middle was full of diving equipment, so Liu Jingmeng and Fatty had to sit on the edge of the boat.I always feel that the black coral reefs around me are a bit dangerous, but I poked them a few times with a paddle and found no coral polyps except for some black attachments scattered down. Ding Wenlong directed us to walk through the underwater jungle-like coral reef for a long time. Some corals grew out of the water in the middle. We paddled so fast that the kayak almost rolled over.I looked back at the boat behind me, and it seemed that the distance I rowed was less than a hundred meters.We have been going in circles in the coral, so the distance to go is naturally not very much. Both Fatty and Liangzi had an opinion and shouted to walk across the coral reef.Ding Wenlong said to let them go, as long as the two of them wanted to end up with the guy named Er Guo.After paddling forward for more than half an hour, the surrounding coral reefs became significantly higher, at least one meter above the water. My hands were sore from paddling, and I was about to ask Fatty to replace me, when I heard him shout: "Why the hell is there a coffin here!" Several people followed Fatty's hand to look, and it turned out that there was a coral reef about half a meter below the sea surface. In the gap, a black coffin was found. Just like the one we salvaged last night, it was overgrown with algae.Liangzi glanced at the coffin and said to us, "Don't you think this place is weird?" The fat man scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! Is it normal to have a coffin in the sea?" Liangzi said, I also felt that there was something wrong with this place, and Liu Jingmeng suddenly said: "It's too dead here." I immediately realized that coral reefs are said to be a biological paradise, but there is no living creature here, not even a single fish.Or a coral polyp.This is a bit too unreasonable, even in the cemetery, weasel can see two. Going forward, there are more and more black coffins of this kind. In the end, even a few coffins will be stuffed into each big gap. The water flow here is not stable. I don’t know how the ancients stuffed the coffins. It's even more unclear what method they used to keep the coffin underwater for hundreds of years without falling apart.The fat man said while rowing the boat: "Squeak twice! Do you want to smother me to death, Fatty?" As a result, everyone else was doing their own thing, and no one paid attention to him.The fat man was not angry either, and hummed a song to himself. "Let's swing our oars and the boat pushes the waves away..." Liangzi spit out the cigarette butt in her mouth, and cursed with a smile: "Don't sing about you! Be careful to wake up all the masters in the coffin in a while, I don't want to take a sunbath with them." The fat man seemed to think that his singing voice was not bad, and when Liang Zi scolded him, he immediately said angrily: "You know what! I'm doing pre-war encouragement here. It would be fine if the people at the bottom really climbed up by themselves. That white jade brand, my saliva is almost drooling, Fatty." I have always felt that rowing in a pool of coffins is somewhat creepy, and I don't care about listening to the bickering between the two.Ding Wenlong stood in front of the boat and never spoke. This man gave me a feeling of being a young man, as if he always knew what to say and what to do in front of what kind of people. I took a look at him, the diving suit and a scarlet box more than a foot long on his back made him look even more ridiculous, but the mahogany box didn't look ordinary, and I don't know what it was for . "Be quiet, we're coming." Ding Wenlong suddenly squatted down and out of sight.From here, the waterway becomes wider. At the end of the waterway, there is a huge reef that is higher than other coral reefs. The color is reddish, and it doesn't look like a coral reef. Liangzi and Fatty obviously speeded up, and the boat rowed to the end of the waterway in just a few minutes.The periphery of the giant reef is covered with scrub-like corals.We paddled around the reef for a while, and found a coffin that was out of the water just horizontally between the water surface and the reef. Ding Wenlong gestured to Liangzi, who knowingly leaned the boat against the coffin and stopped.The fat man stepped onto the coffin immediately, only to hear a harsh groan from the coffin, so frightened that the fat man jumped over in two steps. We handed over the equipment parts, and Liangzi found another solid coral pillar, tied the boat, and several people stepped on the coffin unsteadily to the reef.As soon as Ryoko stepped on the reef, her feet slipped and she almost fell.I looked carefully and found that the circle below the reef was covered with green moss, but there was no moss on the top, which should be caused by the ebb and flow of the tide. This reef is a bit like an upside-down bowl, about the size of a basketball court, and it is not a spectacle, but there are many riveting holes scattered on the reef, it can be seen that there was indeed a place here hundreds of years ago. Big project. I always thought that our goal was a shipwreck burial, but I didn't expect that the tomb owner's method was too perverse, and he actually built the tomb on the reef, and I don't know where he hid the coffin?Could it be under this big rock? The fat man was a little at a loss, Haidou made him, the Captain Mojin, a bit of a tiger and had nowhere to say anything, so he lowered his face and asked, "Mosquito, your master didn't tell you how the tomb was laid down." law?" I was so happy when I heard it, this fat man is better than Liang Zi at giving people nicknames. Ding Wenlong rolled his eyes when he was shouted, but there was nothing he could do. Finally, he gave the fat man a vicious look and said, "If you can get down, get down. Don't go down and pack up and go home!" Then he took out an ink fountain from the bag at his waist, and I saw that it was a bit mysterious, why did he use this thing when he was fighting.The fat man burst out laughing, "I dare say that all the kids at the machine gate were carpenters. Fatty, I should have come to see it long ago." Ding Wenlong ignored Fatty and winked at Liangzi.Fatty is very useful in this team, and he quickly went up to help.The two began to draw ink lines on the reef, and the ink lines were stretched very long. After two people were busy for more than an hour, a large net with no rules or rules appeared on the rocks. Ding Wenlong smiled smugly, and said: "Look for a place to hide, don't let the flying stone chop off your head." Then he took out a bag from the bag, I saw it was black powder, this kind of Gunpowder is extremely powerful, not inferior to ordinary explosives. I looked around and saw that there were only bare rocks, and there was no place to hide.Ding Wenlong didn't care about us, he just took out the diamond and started to drill holes. The fat man had an idea, he found a place relatively far away and piled up all the equipment on his back in front of him. Following his appearance, he piled up the equipment to form a simple bomb-proof wall. People lying behind will at least not be directly hit by flying stones, and at most will encounter stones falling from the sky. We lay on the ground for more than ten minutes and there was still no movement from Ding Wenlong's side.Fatty got impatient with waiting, stuck out his head and shouted: "Could you fucking hurry up! Fatty, I don't like grinders the most." I couldn't hold back my temper anymore, I glanced out from the gap between the equipment, and saw Ding Wenlong jumping towards us like a monkey.Seeing this situation, I hurriedly covered my ears and lay down. As soon as Ding Wenlong ran over and lay down, I heard a loud "boom", and I felt a buzzing in my ears.But no stone flew over. As soon as the explosion was over, the fat man jumped up, covered his ears and yelled: "Fuck! You are fried fish? Your ears are deafened." Ding Wenlong spread his hands and said, "Who told you to put your ears on?" If you stick it so close, you won’t be deaf because your earwax is thick enough.” The fat man ignored him, and walked towards the blasting point while rubbing his ears.I took a look there, and saw a lot of rocks were blasted out, and white smoke was still coming out of the pit. It has to be said that Ding Wenlong's blasting skills are quite good, and all the broken rocks flew in the opposite direction of our avoidance point.The fat man walked to the mouth of the pit first, looked into the pit, uttered an ugly swear word, and then took out his diving flashlight to shine into the pit. It is impossible for a simple blast to leave a pit on the rock that requires a flashlight to see the bottom. As soon as the fat man took out the flashlight, I knew that the blast had found the entrance to the ancient tomb, and naturally I must admire Ding Wenlong in my heart.Liu Jingmeng crushed an oxygen detection pill and threw it into the pit, and saw the blue cold light keep falling, and then stopped after a few seconds of bouncing. gone." Then she hit the rock riveting on the rock, the speed was very fast, I don't know how many times more professional than me.Before anyone else could speak, Liu Jingmeng turned on the headlamp and jumped into the pit. Seeing this, Ding Wenlong hurriedly followed, but the fat man took a lot of effort, he got stuck inside with the equipment on his back, and Liangzi and I struggled to pull him out, he was so angry that he called Ding Wenlong a chicken thief , I just scolded him a few words and he set himself a trap. I thought to myself that the hole was not too small, and if more gunpowder was added, the entire coral reef would have to be blown up.I thought Ryoko would persuade me a few more words, but I didn't expect him to go straight down.I inserted the diving flashlight into the equipment belt on my shoulder, took a deep breath, and began to descend. The wall of the tunnel was blown smooth, and there were some white plasters where the flashlight hit. These plasters and red rocks Intertwined together, it seems a bit magical, and a flash of lightning flashed in my mind!This reef is actually man-made! These white plaster soils are lime, and the red ones are burnt soils. The two kinds of soils can indeed form rock-like substances after they are mixed together with a special formula and cooled.After the Southern Song Dynasty, many non-royal princes and ministers were unable to build the Vajra Wall due to various reasons, so they used this method to cast a substitute. This has been unearthed in many places, but this secret method was completely lost after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.
