Everyone was outside the pit, staring inside.

I saw Lu Fanzhou sitting upright on the throne of the bronze chariot and horse.

The ratio of bronze chariots and horses is about one to two.

Therefore, when viewed as a whole, Lu Fanzhou's figure is as majestic as a diamond.

Rumble.

At the moment when everyone was confused, a vision appeared.

The horse's head, which was originally bowed and obedient, suddenly raised its head.

The three horses look up to the sky, looking extremely handsome.

Duan Jingzhi followed the direction of the horse's head and looked into the air.

"Look, that crystal dome!"

Chongning looked up and looked shocked.

Above the crystal dome, all the fish schools suddenly became extremely happy.

Countless schools of fish came and went, as if the tide of fish was coming.

You Lanfeng was also stunned and said, "Then, what is that?"

Among the fish, a huge black thing was swimming in the sea water from far to near.

Xuanzhen looked carefully, his face full of doubts, "That must be a tortoise!"

Chongning coughed lightly and said, "It should be a turtle, a divine turtle."

Outside the crystal dome, a huge turtle swims slowly.

This turtle is huge, at least three meters long.

The old tortoise shell is covered with moss, and its four legs are moving vigorously.

Miraculously, there is a sarcophagus carried on top of the tortoise shell!

Xuanzhen raised his head, blinked and said, "My dear, the bastard is carrying the coffin?"

Lu Fanzhou turned over and left the tomb, looked into the air, and said, "That should be Bixi."

Chongning frowned, "You mean, this is a dragon turtle?"

Bixi, also known as Baxia, Ao, and Dragon Turtle, is said to be one of the nine sons of the dragon.

It looks like a turtle and is good at carrying heavy objects. It is often used to carry monuments.

This is the common turtle carrying stele in many temples.

It is common to see divine turtles carrying monuments, but it is unheard of for divine turtles to carry coffins.

Outside the crystal dome, the sea water ripples.

The huge dragon turtle, carrying the sarcophagus on its back, swam slowly.

The sarcophagus seemed to have grown on the back of the turtle, and no matter how it swam, it did not move at all.

"It swam away!"

Duan Jingzhi said in surprise.

This dragon turtle looks slow, but actually swims very fast.

In the blink of an eye, he was out of sight of the crystal dome.

Chongning and others looked at each other, what is this? Just a glance?

Just when everyone was confused.

On the crystal dome, a strange phenomenon appeared again.

The originally prosperous fish schools have disappeared without knowing when.

In the sea water, a little starlight suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the starlight spread quickly, covering the whole city.

Soon, the entire crystal dome was already filled with stars.

The sea water outside is like a galaxy and the universe.

The crystal dome looks like a starry sky.

Chongning stood there, completely stunned.

They seemed to be under the stars.

Before anyone could react, a burst of waves suddenly appeared on the blue lake.

A whoop.

A huge black shadow suddenly appeared!

It turned out to be that magical turtle Bixi!

A huge divine turtle appeared in front of everyone.

Just now they were separated by the dome and were far apart, but now they are extremely close.

When they really saw Biyi's burly figure, they felt what a shock it was!

Bixi's head is indeed different from ordinary turtles.

There are two horns on it and a beard hanging down next to the mouth.

A pair of huge eyes with restrained light.

It didn't seem to be hostile, it just lowered its head to drink water and nibbled on the water plants on the shore.

Chongning boldly moved closer.

The sarcophagus and the turtle's back were integrated into one body, and I don't know how they were connected.

The connecting junction is full of purple-black liverwort and silt.

This sarcophagus is also very strange.

The patterns on the coffin lid look like many bats, swallows, and water plants.

The point is, these patterns don't look like they were carved on later, but formed naturally.

Lu Fanzhou looked at the coffin and said, "What kind of material is this? I've never seen it before?"

Everyone looked at Chongning, seeking answers.

Chongning also noticed the strangeness of the material and looked at it carefully.

"This is the material of swallow stone."

Duan Jingzhi said in surprise: "Is it true or false? Isn't the swallow stone very thin and brittle? Can it withstand the torture of the turtle?"

Swallow stone, or trilobite fossil, is an extremely rare paleontological fossil.

It was formed in the late Cambrian period, 500 million years ago.

The shape and posture of trilobite fossils resemble those of flying swallows, so they are called swallow stones.

In addition to its scientific research value in paleontology, swallow stone also has high ornamental and collection value and can be made into many handicrafts.

Inkstones made from swallow stone were recorded in the Jin Dynasty and were already very mature during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They were called Fu inkstones or Hongfu inkstones and were sent to the royal family as tribute.

Nowadays, there are many inkstones and screen decorations, and the slightly larger ones include maps of the motherland, Kangxi longevity characters, etc.

This kind of fossil originates from the seabed, so its origin is very rare.

At present, only one small city in Shandong Province is rich in it.

Moreover, the main mineral vein has been listed as a prohibited mining area for the site, and the handicrafts on the market have become increasingly rare.

However, as Duan Jingzhi said, the hardness of fossils is relatively brittle.

There must be such a big stone.

But making it into a sarcophagus and letting Bi Xi carry it around the bottom of the sea felt unrealistic.

Chongning nodded, pointed to the coffin board, and said: "This is not just one layer, it is made of at least a dozen layers of fossils, glued together layer by layer."

Each layer of trilobite fossils is very thin, about two centimeters.

The original mineral veins are layered on top of each other, making it a spectacular sight.

If there are ten layers of fossils, they would be twenty centimeters thick, which is extremely heavy.

The ancient bonding technology is far ahead of modern times. The surface is painted with tung oil and tung oil paint, which is as strong as a rock.

Xuanzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Then we open the coffin?"

Lu Fanzhou came closer and tried to step on the turtle's back.

Bixi was quite gentle and didn't pay much attention to it, and was still nibbling on water plants.
