Chapter 16 Bottom Cabin

The ancients believed that everything would present "image". "image" is an all-encompassing image. This is the so-called "things have images, and images have numbers." The ancient hexagrams on the coffin cover are very complicated and difficult, but in general, they are basically consistent with the hexagrams we are studying today, but they are more refuted in details. I was speechless after reading it for a while. It was not until Shirley Yang and others asked me that I came to my senses and told everyone that the content engraved in the coffin was: "Shocking up and down, shocking a hundred miles."

On the inside of the stone coffin, ancient symbols similar to insects and fish traces are engraved with patterns of the "Zhen" hexagram. Long or short fish bone marks represent each refutation of each refutation of each refutation of each refutation of each refutation of each refutation of each refutation of each refutation of the "Yi" says: "Heng, Zhen comes and speaks in a vague way, laughing and speaking is dumb, shocking a hundred miles, not losing the dagger." This is a hexagram that "shocks a hundred miles". There is a judgment below that deduces each refutation of each refutation of the Zhen hexagram, which is too different from the acquired Bagua I know, so I can't understand it.

After experiencing the hurricane, we accidentally discovered the stone coffin locked on the turtle bone. This may be a miraculous coincidence, but I don’t think it must be like that. The Qingtou ancient jade collected on Coral Temple Island also has a mystery, which happened to be a symbol of the shizhaoyan hexagram. From this point of view, there are too many such ancient objects buried under the sea, which can be seen everywhere, but most of them are corroded and cannot be identified, so they have never been taken seriously.

Shirley Yang and others asked me how to explain the "Zhen" hexagram? I explained that in the Eight Trigrams, there is the meaning of smooth and awakening and self-cultivation, it is hard to say whether it is bad or good. The shaking is thunder, and the shaking is above and below, and there is the meaning of thunder overlapping. The thunder between heaven and earth trembles, which scares people's whole body trembles. After a while, they chat and laugh again. The huge thunder roars, shocking for a hundred miles. However, important sacrificial activities must be carried out as usual. The arrival of the thunder is not a blessing or a disaster. While people are afraid, they must be cautious and careful to avoid disasters.

When Uncle Ming, Fatty and others heard this, they all said that this was a coincidence. They had just experienced a storm caused by Longshui, and there was thunder and lightning in the sky. Isn’t this a response to “Shock Baili”?

I shook my head and said, "Although the Zhen Gua has thunder and thunder, it does not refer to real wind, rain, thunder, or earthquake, or earthquake, and the sky collapse. Only the scammers of fortune tellers in the world will explain this. Moreover, the ancient and complex figures of this hexagram are probably related to the sixteen innate hexagrams of King Wen of Zhou. It is difficult to understand the profound meaning of it based on the interpretation of the acquired Bagua that has survived to this day. This is not something that our ordinary people can guess at will." After saying that, I asked Shirley Yang to take a photo of the coffin cover to retain it. There may be a great connection between this object and the "Guixu" under the sea. If you have the chance to see Zhang Yingchuan again in the future, you may be able to let him explain the mystery.

Having said that, I had a vague premonition that if this voyage does not solve the mystery of "Shocking Hundred Miles", I may encounter huge troubles. However, this is a waste of my mind. I am not sure about it, but I don't care much. Anyway, the ship will naturally go straight to the bridge. No matter what happens in the future, just speculate that the way of heaven will act according to the opportunity.

We tidied up the coffin cover and lifted it aside to clean up a place to open the coffin. Professor Chen said that the bronze civilization of hating heaven and man was very developed because he mastered the dragon fire and could cast the heavenly tripod. When we saw it today, it was indeed well-known. The body of the coffin cover was chiseled with a nose ring, and a copper chain as thick as a human arm. After so many years, although the copper nature was washed away by sea water and was mostly wrapped in dead polyps, the exposed area was clear and bone-permeable, and it was still tough and strong, which was very different from ordinary bronze. It was the best green head. I asked the fat man to take it away without hesitation and claimed to take it back for "research and research."

Everyone surrounded the inner coffin curiously, wanting to see what was in the coffin. Shirley Yang probably knew that it was useless to persuade us, and her curiosity was no less than mine. She just said that the wind was strong at sea, and the things inside were not easy to preserve when the coffin was opened. If these things did come from "Guixu" at the bottom of the sea, there might be corpses of hatred gods.

I said to Shirley Yang: "That's what comes from the bottom of the sea? Isn't it similar to the Atlantic Ocean's underwater visitors? I don't know if I wear toad mirrors."

The fat man said: "It may not necessarily come out of the sea's eyes. Didn't you see it tied to the turtle lid? It must be that this turtle spirit crawled around the bottom of the sea and died in the nearby trough, which made a black tide come up, and we caught up. This is nothing else, this is fate."

After the fat man said that, he took out a box of cooling oil. Each of us picked ointment with our fingertips and applied a little under our noses. Only the boat boss Ruan Hei and the other two didn't understand what they meant. What are they doing?

The fat man said: "You are a gangster at sea, so naturally you don't understand the rules of getting promoted and making money. We are all professionally studying this area. We all know that if you don't wear a mask, you must apply some of this thing to prevent odor, so that you can avoid letting the corpse quarrel and choke you."

The ship boss Ruan Hei didn't know what the fat man said about the major, but since he had this rule, he learned to do it. Gu Chai and Duoling were even more curious and scared, and wanted to see it but didn't dare to see it. He hid behind Ruan Hei and kept looking at the sarcophagus.

Seeing that I was about to stop, I looked up at the sky. Although the sky was daytime, it was dense clouds and rainy. The sun was covered by dark clouds. The wind and waves on the sea were calm and the black tide gradually faded. Even during the day, I didn’t think I had to prepare any black donkey hoofs. At that time, the fat man took the horse to open the coffin and raised the hair of the coffin in the secret technique of touching the gold. Although there was no taboo, there was also a saying that "the west and the north do not open, the left and the right do not open". This "east, south, west, north, north and north, up, down, left and right" refers to the reference object of coffin. In ancient times, coffins were placed in the Feng Shui level. Most noble people were placed in the north and south vertically, with the north being the upper head and the south being the lower head, and there were also faces facing the side. Those who believe in Buddhism must face the West, which means to be reborn in the Western Paradise. Those who worship the Tao faced the east, and purple air came from the east.

In addition, the "Golden Certificate" opened west but not north, so as to avoid the establishment of an organ in the coffin to harm people's lives, and it also means "taking the door of life and letting the door of death". The stone coffin in the sea is simple and thick, similar to the style of the stone coffin in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The fat man has been around for now and is considered to be half a skilled in prying coffin. Now, he pushes the top of the stone coffin to the upper air outlet. If there is any bad breath inside, the sea breeze will be blown away after opening the coffin.

The coffin in the stone coffin is also made of stone rather than wood. It is black and translucent. It is an ancient pinellin fossil that grows on the bottom of the sea. It is called "Ground Mirror". It is black and moist, and the patterns are like waves. The patterns are born after thousands of years of attack by sea water. The more patterns, the longer the age, the higher the value. Judging from the layers of the sarcophagus, the water lines of the sarcophagus must be of great value. Moreover, the surroundings of the coffin are sealed very closely. The fat man is afraid of destroying this valuable sarcophagus. He is determined to be patient and act carefully. He has used his ox and two tigers to pull out the life plug that plays a fixed role with his Yin-Take claw.

I was helping the rest of the people to take a few steps back, and the fat man and the two of them kept breathing and lifted the lid of the coffin. Suddenly a gust of white air rushed out of the coffin. As the corpse air appeared, a dead person sat up from the coffin with a "bang" and pushed the stone lid aside. The dead corpse seemed to be a woman with long hair, and was blown by the sea breeze, and it moved with the wind, like a living person. The coffin may be sealed too tightly. The body rotted and swelled after it was loaded. The corpse gas accumulated in it and was difficult to dissipate. With this constant gas, the body of the deceased was also preserved in this state after the corpse gas was dissipated. The lid of the coffin was affected by the external air. The coffin changed drastically. The muscles of the body contracted, and it also swelled up like a corpse.

The white air in the coffin was extremely smelly. Although we were in the limelight and applied some mint ointment to the end of our noses, we still felt that it was stinking, which scared the body that suddenly sat up. Everyone quickly retreated and covered their noses. The fat man and Uncle Ming also praised: "My God, why is this big sister so smelly? Maybe this beautiful girl... was secretly secreted before she died, so she was suffocated to death?"

Amid the screams of Uncle Ming and Fatty, the stinking quickly dissipated. The body sitting in the coffin was full of blue skin, with flesh scales on its body, green face and fangs, like an evil ghost. I felt a tightening in my heart: "Is this a fucking human?" But before I could take a closer look, a sea breeze blew, and the skin of the corpse quickly collapsed and shrank. The color of the corpse turned from blue to black. It was instantly turned into ashes, and immediately from the outside to the inside, layer by layer, it was broken into black ash, blown away by the sea breeze, and the remaining scattered bones were scattered in the coffin, and the body no longer existed. We could tell at a glance that the rice dumplings turned into ashes, and even the soul and body turned into dust of history.

Uncle Ming had been dealing with Zongzi for half his life, and he had seen almost all kinds of ancient corpses, but the female corpse with flesh scales on her body was still unheard of. She had never seen it. Could it be a mermaid in the South China Sea? Then it was not a human but a fish. It was not worth much if the thing died. He walked closer to see if the remaining bones in the coffin were covered with fish tails.

But when we leaned over, we saw that the remaining bones were black and broken, and except for a few teeth, the rest could no longer be identified. The fat man was not interested in the dead. The body was transformed by the sea to save trouble. He held up his claws to pull the remaining things in the coffin and searched for any beads stuffed into the mouth of the dead corpse. The thing would definitely not turn into nothing when the wind passed.

But there was not much in the stone mirror coffin. There was only one Hong Qingshui at the bottom of the coffin. There were a few nearly translucent shrimps flapping inside. It was still not alive. Shirley Yang felt very strange. The sarcophagus was not airtight and sank on the seabed for thousands of years. Why were there still alive shrimps inside?
