Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Duoling and Gucai both nodded sadly. Gucai said to me: "Boss Hu, I believe you. Senior sister and master fell into the sea and you saved them. It was so dangerous and you didn't even blink. I have never seen you before." That kind of people."

I heard him mention that I rescued Ruan Hei and Duo Ling from the sinking ship. It turned out that he tried his best to help us salvage the "King of Qin Bone Mirror" from the sunken ship because he wanted to repay his gratitude. My mind was confused at the moment and I didn't want to express my gratitude to him. Taking credit for this incident, he immediately asked him and Duoling to prepare for Ruan Hei, and then find a clam shell for burial.

Duoling took Guchai to unwrap the soft black white cloth, wiped away the remaining blood on his face with clean water, and then wrapped the body again according to their customs. Most people in Nanyang believe in Buddhism, so the two of them put their hands together. Pray for the deceased soul and wish him to become a Buddha soon. When I think of the master Ruan Hei who depended on each other and treated them like his biological father, he died and we will never see each other again in the years to come. The most painful thing in the world is separation between life and death. I can't help crying again. His face was covered with tears, and he cried while stroking the corpse. After crying for a long time, under the bloody sky above his head, he sang a song that Ruan Hei always hummed on the boat during his lifetime. The song was so sad and miserable that others wanted to cry.

Shirley Yang and others were digging for clam shells when we heard this melancholy song. Although we couldn't understand what was being sung, we seemed to feel something in our hearts, and felt a sense of loss and sadness. We couldn't help but stop and listen. Only Uncle Ming understood the meaning of the words in this song. He sighed and told us in a low voice: "The egg boys are singing the song of the egg collectors in ancient times - that god of mine, save my poor man, I'm not afraid of blood and sweat, I'm just afraid of not being able to go home..."

After singing a bitter song, Duo Ling and Gu Chai cried for a long time, and just collected the body of their master. Ruan Hei had nothing on his body and no inheritance. He only had a "Zhu Yan" in his mouth that was worth a thousand dollars. "Pearls", he lived in poverty all his life, and after his death he enjoyed the luxurious treatment only available to emperors and generals. He fished for pearls for half his life, and was finally buried in a green snail and clam shell, which is known as the "Dragon Dwelling" among the Dan people. It was a worthy death.

But we searched for a long time among the clam shells piled up into a hill, but we couldn't find any conch shells that were complete and huge enough to be used as a coffin. In the courtyard surrounded by four walls, you can see carvings and murals of ancient people slaughtering clams and fishing for pearls everywhere. There are thousands of empty snail and clam shells. It must have been a place specializing in scraping clams. The clam shells were piled up into a tall grave. We once caught a "Tridacna" at sea, and its shell was like white snow. It is crystal clear, with two shells that are intertwined and closed like teeth, surrounded by solid armor, and there is no gap for throwing. If you can find a conch shell similar to a "man-eating clam", that is the most suitable spiritual object for making a coffin.

Not giving up, I peeled off the top layer of clam shells to see if there were any man-eating clams buried in the depths. Unexpectedly, I peeled off several layers of clam shells, and a large copper plate was exposed inside. I stroked away the fine pieces of clam shells. and silt, the copper body has been soaked by the sea water for a long time, but the surface of the copper plate is full of red spots, and you can see many naked female human figures engraved on it, all of them are in the shape of playing and swimming in the sea, with enchanting postures.

We didn't expect to find something like this. We didn't know what this exquisite copper plate was and why it was buried in a pile of clam shells. There were two copper rings on the copper plate. It seemed that this was a lid that could be opened. I I wanted to think that this was probably a coffin with a corpse in the mouth, but then I thought about it, and felt that the pattern and shape were not similar. How could there be a copper ring on the coffin lid? So he swallowed the words as he spoke. Because he didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to uncover the copper plate without authorization. After gesturing to the fat man, the two of them continued to remove the remains of snails and clams around them.

The fat man dug open the surrounding conch shells and exposed the entire shell. It turned out that a green conch carapace as big as a water tank was buried here. The screw mouth was sealed with a copper plate. Looking at the texture on the conch shell, it looked like a woman with all the clothing patterns. With fingers on the hands, a navel on the abdomen, and delicate eyebrows, they all resemble human beings. It is often heard that there is a natural image of Arhat and Guanyin in the clam. Today I saw it with my own eyes. The water patterns on the shell are shaped like a woman. It is also a strange thing in the sea. Only then did I realize that the rumor of a human figure in the clam was not just a rumor made by the fishermen of the Dan people.

I asked Uncle Ming to come over and have a look. He didn’t know what the conch shell sealed by the copper plate was for. He guessed it was a conch shell coffin made by the Hentian clan in ancient times. I had heard of clam coffins before, and they did exist in ancient times. This kind of burial custom mostly uses clams instead of old snails as thick as rice vats. Most of the people buried in clam coffins are fishermen, and they are all men who have not found wives. This is a rare and strange custom. , probably because he wanted to have a yin marriage with the clam spirit.

The fat man said: "Then it must be right. Otherwise, why would there be so many women on this copper lid? There is also a figure of a natural beauty on the conch shell. The one restrained in this conch coffin must be a pervert." Even one wife is not enough. How many are he planning to have after his death?" Then he went to count the number of women, but he couldn't count them clearly for a long time.

Uncle Ming heard from us that this might be a rare conch shell coffin. If there is a coffin, there will be a hidden weapon. How can we not be tempted? He immediately resorted to aggressive tactics and said to me and the fat man: "How could the dirty custom in the countryside of shady marriages with mussel essence be related to this snail shell coffin? I don't think this green snail is a mortal thing. What's in the coffin?" The corpse may not be that of a pervert, but he has been dead for thousands of years anyway, so how can our descendants be able to tell what his character was during his lifetime?"

After hearing this, the fat man gnashed his teeth and said, "Hey, Uncle Ming, why don't you believe in my discerning eyes? If there are beads in the mouth of the rice dumpling in the coffin, the body must not have rotted. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet." , I said it must be a pervert, otherwise why would such a gangster get so many women on the coffin lid? The lecher has a strong sexual desire, and the hair on his feet is black and long, this is a good evidence. "

I thought that the hair on the legs and feet of people who swim frequently is indeed more developed. People who once lived in the "Coral Spiral" sea naturally have thick hair on their feet. It's not a big deal to have a bead in your back, maybe you have a perfect facial features, and even the hair on your body can be preserved to this day. Fatty is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Bet on whether there is hair on the feet of the dead person in the coffin. Not only does he come up with a new style, but he has already done it first. He had a 70% chance of winning. If the body rotted away, it would be a tie with Uncle Ming at most.

The fat man irritated Uncle Ming with his words again. Uncle Ming couldn't help but be angry and bet with him to see if the ancient corpse in the snail was a pervert. He decided to leave. The fat man's bet was the gold watch he had caught After Uncle Ming went bankrupt, he had nothing of value, so he had to gamble on a southern pearl that was given to him.
