God fortune teller and Huayouzi could no longer lead everyone away, so I was so silly, hiding next to the small hole, and watching the two people outside slowly get in.
"Go in and be careful. If you can bring something with you, if you can't bring it out, you must first feel the situation."
"clear."
After the two people got in, they each held a torch. One of them was taller and the other was shorter. For the time being, they couldn't tell whether their skills were strong or not.
As soon as they came in, they stood on the spot, holding the torch high, and scanning from side to side. I pressed against the edge of the cabin tightly, not daring to let out the atmosphere. Fortunately, there were black rumblings everywhere in the cabin, and the other party didn't notice me.
The two people walked forward slowly, one after the other, and soon they saw the mud statues that were swaying around. In this cabin, the mud statues are the most eye-catching target, and each mud statue looks a little horrible.
Unknowingly, they walked to the place where I was almost hit by the mud statue, and they heard a bang. A mud statue suddenly tilted down, and the short man was caught off guard. The mud statue hit the back of the body. One staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Why so many ghosts."
"It doesn't look right." The tall man looked around, and he happened to see the mud figure whose head was knocked off just now. He distinguished it for a while and said: "These mud figures are not ordinary mud figures. , It was used for funeral."
The tall man murmured a few words while watching carefully. When he said, I really remembered the rumors that seemed to have been heard before, but those rumors were illusory, and they were heard a long time ago and have long been forgotten. .
Long, long ago, the flooding of large rivers could not be stopped. Through dynasties and dynasties, great efforts have been made to rectify the rivers, but they still flooded year after year. In some places, rituals are held every year, mainly to worship the river god, in order to make a good year.
When offering sacrifices, there will be living sacrifices, that is, people are thrown directly into the river as offerings. This method is too cruel, but many people believe that only in this way can we get the protection of the river god.
Later, someone else came up with a way, which was to make mud with human blood, then make a human figure and throw it into the river. It is said that in doing so, a clay statue is equivalent to a living sacrifice.
I'm not sure whether this is true or not. Anyway, since I am sensible, I have never seen such customs on the river beach. If it did, it was a long time ago.
The tall man said that this is the truth. Human blood and mud can be used to sacrifice to the river, and it can also be used as a living person and buried in a tomb.
My courage was not small at first, but when I heard the words of a tall man in secret, my heart went up and down, and there was always an unspeakable panic.
"If that's the case, let's catch it this time." The tall man rubbed his hands and said, "Even if you use this kind of human blood and mud as the burial person, they are all people with a lot of identity and origin. There must be no less funeral items in the house."
"that's great."
When the two talked, they both felt very excited, rushing through the world, with dangerous twists and turns, and nothing more than asking for money. If there is a harvest, the hard work will not be in vain.
When the short man came to rest, he stood up, rubbed his back waist, and walked forward. The two of them still walked very slowly, but they just walked a few steps.
The mud statue began to vibrate up and down again.
Not only were they trembling back and forth, the portraits also collapsed from the side and jumped off from time to time. The two of them were directly wrapped in them, dodged in a dance and dodged a few times, and it was a bit unbearable. The mud statue is very heavy, and if it is hit to the point, it is also very dangerous.
The two of them were forced to retreat back, ran to the entrance of the small hole, and talked to the people outside.
They are all lifeless mud statues, but at this time they are bumping up and down, and this situation makes people feel unstable. But this group of people is eager for money and doesn't care about that much at all. The two leaders outside discussed it, and one of them said, "No matter how much it is, since you are in the cabin, just drag them out."
"What I said is, you two, take the rope to tie up the mud statues, and we will pull them outside to get them all out. I don't believe that in broad daylight, there are any demons and evil creatures that can make waves."
A lot of ropes were thrown in outside, and the two of them took the ropes and returned again. They picked up the closest figure and tied them around the waist. Then the people outside dragged the rope and dragged the mud to the entrance of the hole.
The entrance of the cave is so small that people can get in, but the mud image is a bit thicker than the real person, and the people outside take an axe to widen the entrance of the cave.
When they were busy, I could still vaguely hear the fortune teller yelling outside. He was bent on irritating these people and cursing what was unpleasant, but this group of people knew that there must be good things in the coffin, so they didn’t. Pay attention to the fortune teller.
I kept scolding God fortune teller and Huayouzi in my heart. The bad ideas of these two old fried dough sticks blocked me here and could no longer get out.
I don’t know if the mud statues in the cabin are human blood mud statues, but after all the time has passed for too long. Apart from the ups and downs of the mud statues, there was no other movement. Finally, one by one was tied up with a rope and dragged outside. , All thrown on the river beach.
When all the mud statues were towed out, the cabin was suddenly much empty and quieter. The previous two people were refreshed and didn't feel tired at all, and they continued to look forward carefully.
I have been clinging to the side of the cabin, moving slowly, following them. As soon as the mud statue was lifted away, the line of sight became much clearer. When the two people walked to the very center of the ship coffin, beside a few crooked incense burners, I saw a table.
That table is about one foot square and three feet high. According to common sense, this place is generally used to put the coffin, but the coffin is nowhere to be seen, there is only such a table.
The two people walked up to this table, looked around carefully, and then raised the torch in their hands.
The moment they saw this table, they seemed to be stunned.
"what is this?"
"I... I can't tell you..."
The two murmured, but I hid in the corner and couldn't see the table clearly. Judging from the expressions of those two people, something strange must have been discovered.
As a result, I felt like a cat scratching in my heart, itchy and uncomfortable, and I changed a few positions lightly, but I still couldn't see clearly.
"Don't care about it, get it out first." The tall man said: "Get it out and ask Big Brother and the others to make an idea."
While speaking, the two men put the torch aside, and then one side, tentatively moving the
This table, the table was very heavy, and couldn't get it off at all. The two of them had to give up after spending a long time.
I couldn't help it anymore. I don't know what they saw. My instinct told me that what they saw was definitely not a coffin.
Could it be that the gods are all looking at it? This ancient ship is not a coffin at all
For a while, I was also confused, and my curiosity became even greater, and I wanted to know what the two of them saw.
Staring at the two people for so long, I can actually see that their skills are not very good, but they have brute force, otherwise, the short man would not be hit by the collapsed mud figure just now.
Thinking of this, I became more courageous. There was a table in front of me that hadn't fallen down. It was very strong. I pressed it with my hand and felt it could support my weight, so I took the courage and slowly climbed to the table. superior.
When I stood on the table silently, my vision widened immediately. Under the reflection of the two people's torches, I couldn't help but froze.
I vaguely saw that the platform with a square circle and a height of three feet seemed to be a fish pond. There was still water in the fish pond. The boat was tossed around before and was dragged to the shore, crookedly, but the water in the fish pond didn't seem to spill a single drop.
The surface of the water was shining with the light of torches, and following, I saw that there seemed to be two fish in this fish pond.
Two slap-long fish, one black and one white, I can't recognize what kind of fish it is. The two fishes slowly swim in the fish pond, one left and the other right, the fish's swimming slightly drives the water wave, the water wave turns into a circle, against the left and the right, one is black and the other is white. It's like a picture of Yin and Yang.
"Forget it, we can't make it, we should go back and report it so as not to cause any trouble."
"Then you stay here, I'll go back and report."
"I'll go back." The short man looked like a chicken thief, and said that he had been smashed in the waist just now and was uncomfortable, so he just went back to get some plaster.
The tall man had no choice but to stay here, while the short man hurried back down the road, and I didn't know what to do at once. What do these two fishes mean? Now it is impossible for me to put the tall man down and drive out with only two fishes.
Before the thought in my heart was finished, someone got in at the entrance of the hole. I was afraid that if a master came here, I would be aware of me, so I quickly crept down from the table and hid in the corner.
This time, the two leaders came in person. They rushed to the fish pond in the middle of the cabin and took a few glances. One of them said, "This is? Is this a pair of yin and yang fish?"
"Maybe, I looked like it." The other person couldn't help feeling a little excited, looked around, and said: "If it is really a yin and yang fish, this boat will be a big deal."
"Big brother, what is a yin and yang fish?" The tall man stood by and asked when he was unknown.
The leader didn't have time to explain so much. In general, he said that the yin and yang fish are used to regulate the yin and yang, so that the environment of this boat can be unchanged for one thousand and ten thousand years.
I don't know if what they said is true, but after careful consideration, it seems that it is the case. The ship has sunk under the water for so many years, but the tables, incense burners and other sundries in the cabin are still very well preserved.
