Chapter 62 Xuanshui Jade Coffin(1/2)
I don’t know what material the coffin on the boat is made of. It looks transparent, like glass. I can clearly see the situation inside the coffin from the outside.
The spiritual raft was buried with a man wearing Miao costume. His appearance was still lifelike. It was impossible to tell whether he died or pretended to die, and it was even more impossible to tell when he died.
Maybe it was thousands of years ago, or maybe it was just a few days ago.
"This spiritual raft is actually transparent! But why didn't I see it at all when I was illuminated with a flashlight on the shore?"
"Xuanshui Jade."
"What?" I didn't understand.
"The boat coffin is made of Xuanshui Jade." Shang Qingyun repeated.
Xuanshui Jade?
I know water jade. "Shan Hai Jing. Nanshan Jing" records that Queshan is three hundred miles east of it, and it is called Tangting. There are many woods, many white apes, many water jade, and many gold.
The water jade mentioned here is water-like jade, which is crystal clearer than jade. Many geologists believe that this is a quartz crystal mineral, which may be crystal.
Now let’s think that water jade is crystal.
What is Xuanshui Jade? Black Crystal?
"The water jade is crystal clear, but the mysterious water jade is bright and clear at close range, and the vision is like black iron." Shang Qingyun said.
I understood as soon as he said this.
Whether from a distance or close up, the crystal is as transparent as glass. But the so-called mysterious crystal is different, it has no light transmission.
It is not strictly forbidden to say this. It should be said that it has no light transmission at a certain distance. Whether it is shining with a flashlight or looking at the naked eye, it looks like solid wood, and looks black, but when you look close, it is no different from ordinary crystal. This sounds unscientific, but it does exist in front of me. Anyway, it is a dragon palace and an insect pot along the way, so it can no longer be explained by science or unscientific. All scientists have been pissed off the road.
I squatted beside the stone coffin and observed left and right. I found that the person buried inside seemed to be pillowing a box. I felt the shape of the box inexplicably familiar: "Qingyun, what is the pillow behind his head?"
Shang Qingyun sat cross-legged on the other side of the penetration, and he leaned against the boat gang. When he heard this, Shang Qingyun was stunned: "Hmm?"
This is the first question tone I heard after I have known him for so long.
Shang Qingyun suddenly jumped from the bow of the boat and drew out his long sword.
His actions really scared me. I thought something had happened again, or something wrong with this water, and even Shang Qingyun was caught in the thought.
Erpang's stupid skills before were greatly increased due to the Renshang Flower Gu. If it were Shang Qingyun, I would be afraid that there would be no more destruction left.
But when I saw Shang Qingyun's eyes clear, let alone rolling his eyes, there was not even a trace of turbidity.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Shang Qingyun didn't answer me, but just frowned, stared at the Miao man lying in the jade coffin, and said word by word: "We got on the wrong boat."
"Accommodating the wrong boat? But I see that these boats are almost the same." I said.
Shang Qingyun shook his head: "Gu."
"Gu?" I immediately realized that he was talking about the box, "You said there is an insect in this box? That's okay, I won't be bitten by the Gu, you hide behind me. Hehe, now I can protect you."
"No." Shang Qingyun jumped over, jumped over the jade coffin, and blocked me, "The Gu belongs to this person."
My heart skipped a beat.
After being with Shang Qingyun for so long, I can almost understand what he wants to express.
What he meant was that this Miao man would be controlled by the insects like he did in the Seven-overlapping Tombs, and then-
Body lifted.
Bang!
I heard a very clear impact.
I clearly haven't seen any movements of the dead body in the jade coffin!
"This, what's going on?" I hid behind Shang Qingyun, and my legs trembled.
"I've been cheated."
"Corded? Who?"
"One of my boats was safe on the shore, but the hook lock was tied to the other one."
"I'll go, your vision is at the level of an astronomical telescope. Didn't it mean that it's not transparent at a certain distance, how did you see it?" Although I knew it was inappropriate, I just wanted to complain...
At the same time, Shang Qingyun's words made me extremely frightened.
I saw a boat without insects on the shore, but the hook locks came over and there was an insect.
It seemed as if someone was observing us in the dark and secretly replaced the boat we were hooked up.
Could it be that these ships themselves are conscious and intelligent? They know that we are going to take a safe boat, so they deceived us visually?
Or...these ships do not seem to have boatmen, but they are actually controlled by the "people" in the jade coffin?!
The more I think about it, the more creepy I feel.
What made me even more terrified is that when we were extremely alert to the jade coffin in front of us, we ignored the fact that there was an entire fleet sailing together on the Wangchuan River.
They seem to confirm my thoughts. The ships suddenly changed their course. Although they were still forward with the bow, these ship coffins could actually ignore the resistance of the water and translate towards us.
In an instant, we were surrounded by dozens of ships containing the mysterious jade coffin.
I shine the jade coffins on the boats surrounding us with flashlights, and find that the dead bodies in the jade coffins are lying quietly. Where did the impact sound just now come from?
Bang!
I heard the impact again. From the sound, I could roughly judge that it was coming from behind my left. I quickly turned around and aimed the light at the place where the sound was made, but nothing was wrong there.
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, a new impact sound came again. This time it was my right rear. I quickly turned around, but there was still nothing special.
It's like someone is playing hide-and-seek with us, and this person is very fast.
The strangest thing is that Shang Qingyun didn't seem to react. He looked at the jade coffin on the small boat where we were from beginning to end. It seemed that in his eyes, the coffin and sound around the boat were not there.
I began to wonder if I had hallucinations again.
But soon, I had no time to distract myself from thinking about this matter.
The sound came again, and it was more frequent than before.
Front.
rear.
left.
right.
Left front.
Right front.
Up, down, left, right, east, south, west, north.
At the end, the impact sounds directly formed.
I can't tell.
It seems to be everywhere.
The sound is getting closer and closer.
I felt it was right next to me.
On top of my head.
At my feet.
Behind me.
In front of me.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
The sound is getting louder and louder.
It's about to get close!
"Squat down!"
Shang Qingyun shouted loudly, and I hugged my head and squatted down.
At the same time, Shang Qingyun waved the sword in his hand, twisted his waist and turned around, and the sharp blade almost swept across my knuckles.
"Ao!"
I heard a shrill scream behind me, and the smelly liquid splashed all over me like rain.
I turned my head and saw a black shadow behind me staggering into the water. What was left at my feet was a round thing. Then I saw the glimmer of light reflected from the river surface clearly. It was a human head.
To be precise, it was the head of a corpse. There was no trace of blood flowing out of the incision of the neck where the head was cut off, as if it had been cut off for a long time.
Several white insects crawled out of the broken door and played the card, but were trampled to death by Shang Qingyun.
When I observed the bugs with flashlight, I was extremely shocked.
These white insects are all miniature versions of human-shaped silkworms!
