Chapter 93 Chapter Eleven Bronze Coffin

I estimated the approximate position of the fisheye on the ground, carefully held the compass, and moved it slowly. Liu Ye was very curious when she saw my persuasion. In her understanding, the compass is used to indicate the direction, which is similar to the compass. She has never seen someone using this thing to find a mechanism, so she followed me carefully. , the probe also looks at the magnetic needle on the disk. I walked very slowly, staying for about a minute with each step, observing the subtle changes of the pointer.After a full fifteen minutes, the curiosity of Da Ya and Liu Ye disappeared little by little, and they sat on the ground and watched me take a step like a puppet in a shadow play, and stop for a while.

After walking for a while, because the arms had to be kept level and still, and the spirit was highly concentrated, after a while, beads of sweat were seen on the tip of the nose and temples, but the magnetic needle of the compass was steady, and there was no abnormality. The more I procrastinated, the more uncertain I felt. Could it be that I was wrong? When I was thinking wildly in my mind, I suddenly saw the head of the pointer on the compass floating up, moving left and right, not returning to the meridian, which was the "counter-hand" of the "Eight Oddities". Da Ya and Liu Ye called over, smiled at them triumphantly, and told them that there must be something under my feet.

Da Ya squatted down and tapped my feet with a flashlight. It was the same as the ordinary ground, and there was nothing abnormal. He raised his head and blinked at me a few times: "Come on, smart people can be divided into two types. One is high IQ plus conceit; while the other is low IQ plus self-esteem, I think you are too confident?" Seeing Da Ya who was squatting under his feet talking straight to me, I kicked him up, then grabbed the shovel and started digging. Da Ya rubbed his butt, got up, and didn't know what he was muttering to Liu Ye, but when he saw my eyes, he immediately stopped talking.

I didn't want to waste my energy with him, so I put all my energy into the shovel. I had just dug to a depth of 30 centimeters, when I heard a "clang", and the shovel hit a hard object. This movement was very loud and buzzing in the airtight semi-circular cave. Da Ya and Liu Ye were also taken aback, and realized that I had dug something up in an instant, so they ran over quickly. I carefully poked around with a shovel, and found that the stone slab below was less than half a meter square, so I carefully shoveled off all the soil on it, and finally exposed a square stone slab.

I looked back at Da Ya, pointed at the stone slab, and said nothing. You have to admire Da Ya, his flesh is rotten and his mouth is not rotten. He grinned at me stupidly, and then said to Liu Ye: "If you want to talk about this ability, it's amazing, just this 'finding objects in the lower plate' technique , It’s not a game that ordinary people can know, you can study with Lai Liang if you have time, and study further.” After speaking, he even gave me a thumbs up, making the willow leaf next to him dumbfounded. Liu Ye took a closer look, and then asked me if there was any danger inside, or was there any mechanism?

I looked at the slate, then at Liu Ye and Da Ya: "I don't think so, if the mechanism that is not good for us will not be worth burying underground, it probably doesn't matter whether this kind of mechanism is for people or against rats." Dangerous, if my guess is correct, it should be related to the big copper coffin." As soon as I finished speaking, I kept Big Tooth and Liu Ye a little farther away, then pinned the shovel under the stone slab, and slowly lifted the slate with my arms. A square opening was exposed below, and inside was a bundle of chains, all the thickness of a thumb, much thinner than the one hanging the coffin.

I carefully pushed the chain out, only to find that it was a very long one, and the root was fixed at the bottom of the hole. I tried to pull it with my hands, and it felt very strong. Da Ya watched for a long time without making a sound, and then asked me cautiously: "Lai Liang, can this be pulled, and then the coffin over there can be lifted up, similar to the principle of a pulley?" In fact, I also felt the same meaning, so I threw one end of the chain to Da Ya, and Da Ya and I both held the chain, pulled a buckle in our hand, pulled the chain and began to pull back hard. Unexpectedly, the chain was pulled without too much effort, and there was a sound of "creaking" and "booming".

Da Ya and I fell back and started to pull with all our strength, and gradually fell back the chain in our hands. Sure enough, we saw that the thick chain hanging the big copper coffin actually started to move. Seeing this, we were very excited, and Liu Ye also ran over to help. I don't know what mechanisms people used in the past. It seems that the principle is similar to that of a pulley block. Although it is not as laborious as imagined after it is actually pulled, it is indeed not very easy. After pulling for a while, our foreheads were covered with sweat, and the big copper coffin in the water gradually surfaced, and even more than half of it was exposed. No matter how hard we pulled it, we couldn’t move it anymore. , it may be that it is more laborious to pull the copper coffin out of the water than it is in the water. Judging from the strength of the three of us, it is estimated that there is no way to pull out all the big copper coffins.

Fortunately, at least it is now on the surface of the water, which is much more convenient than underwater. I looked around and wrapped the chain I pulled out tightly around a rock near the cave wall. I was afraid that it would not be firm, so I wrapped the extra chain around several protruding rocks, trying to Slowly let go of the hand, and the chain stretched straight all of a sudden. Fortunately, it succeeded and liberated the few of us. When I got closer, I took a photo with my flashlight. The large bronze coffin was only three meters away from the shore. Under the strong light of the three flashlights, the decorations on it could be clearly seen.

The head of the coffin is trapezoidal, and the decoration on it is divided into three parts by an inverted triangle. There is a large pull ring in the center, which should be just for decoration, and it seems that it cannot be moved at all.Inside the pull ring is a ferocious beast face, and it is impossible to recognize what kind of beast it is.Most of the other decorative bottom decorations are landscape cloud patterns and lotus branches, which are all cast together with the coffin, with exquisite craftsmanship. However, the front of the big copper coffin is full of inscriptions. Although the inscriptions are not small, they are still far away and cannot be seen very clearly. Generally, the inscriptions on the coffin must be some records about the life of the owner of the tomb. , It is very important to verify the identity of the tomb owner.

Da Ya and I unconsciously looked at Liu Ye. Seeing Da Ya and I staring at her, Liu Ye looked at the big copper coffin, pouted, sighed, and walked to the water with some reluctance. By the way, I guess I still have some scruples about that strange fish in the water, but Da Ya and I can't handle this kind of thing even if we have the strength, so it's probably useless to go down, the commonly used Chinese characters are okay, and the uncommon characters are basically familiar There are not many, but people in the past seem to use rare words, at least I always think so. Anyway, there was no need to dive, so Da Ya and I accompanied Liu Ye into the water, swam to the front of the coffin, and helped Liu Ye illuminate the words on it with a flashlight.Liu Ye began to read it seriously. Liu Ye read it to us as soon as she saw it. After reading it intermittently, we were a little confused. The inscription on the coffin is the most valuable and what interests us the most is that it clearly states that the owner of the tomb is surnamed Ji, surnamed Yunyao, learned from Liao Gong and Liao Zhaobao, and then there are some things about water control and embankment construction, city construction and pagoda construction in his life. . Ji Yunyao, such a strange name, it sounds like a Han Chinese in the Central Plains, not a Manchurian, and the name Liao Zhaobao is somewhat familiar to me, but I can't remember where I heard it. A few of us went ashore, wrung out the water on our bodies again, and moved around in place for a while, so we didn't feel so cold anymore. Liu Ye kept jogging on the spot, running, and suddenly stopped, looked at me, then widened her eyes and said, "I remembered who Liao Zhaobao is. Liao Zhaobao is Liao Junqing, whose name is Zhaobao. , No. Yufeng, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, because of his meritorious service in presiding over the construction of the Changling Mausoleum of the Ming Tombs, he was awarded the title of Doctor of Lingtai, Qintian Supervisor. It is said that the survey of the Great Imperial City of the Forbidden City in Beijing was also done by Liao Junqing.” As soon as I heard Liu Ye mention Liao Junqing's name, I remembered that Liao Junqing was a famous Fengshui master in the Ming Dynasty. I have read the records of this person in ancient books, and it can be said that they are miraculous. Once, Ming Chengzu summoned many Fengshui masters and asked how the acupoint project of Tianshoushan Imperial Mausoleum was progressing?And all the ministers all reported to the emperor, saying that Liao Junqing was playing tricks on the court, he dug up the ground veins, and the golden well kept springing up.The site selection of this kind of imperial mausoleum is a very important matter. If the golden well leaks after the selection is made, then the mausoleum will generally be considered abolished and can no longer be used, and it will be regarded as a sinister hole. It's going to kill your head. So Ming Chengzu asked Liao Junqing what was going on?Liao Junqing said: "This is the place where real dragons gather. The acupuncture points are unbiased. As long as the emperor comes to the place, the spring water will stop immediately. But Ming Chengzu went to the acupuncture point and saw that the spring water was still spraying. Longyan was furious and asked Liao Junqing why he was teasing to him." Liao Junqing answered Ming Chengzu calmly, saying that he hadn't drunk the mountain yet, as long as he yelled a few times and put the compass down to the ground, the spring would stop immediately. After finishing speaking, he put on a posture and started shouting up the mountain. Strange to say, before Liao Junqing finished shouting, the spring water in the golden well stopped. Ming Chengzu Long was overjoyed, and kept admiring him, saying that Liao Junqing was an extraordinary man, he was a genius of immortality, he called mountains and mountains to respond, and water and water stopped, he was a strange man in Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the owner of the large bronze coffin that appeared here was actually a disciple of Liao Junqing. It is not surprising that his disciples can find such rare acupoints of Feng Shui in the world. Just when the three of us were discussing about Liao Junqing, suddenly, Da Ya gave us a "shh", motioning us to keep quiet. The scene immediately fell silent, eerily quiet. I was just about to ask what Da Ya was up to, when I suddenly heard the faint cry of a child. "Wow... wow..." She cried miserably, like a wronged child, sobbing endlessly.And the voice seems to be held in the throat, listening to it is worrying, and my heart is blocked. We were all terrified, carefully distinguishing the direction of the source of the sound, and finally focused our sights on the big copper coffin.
