Chapter 42(1/2)
() Found the way home!
If you can't recognize it, it's all right. Ye Liuxi doesn't care, it's just a few words.
The coffin was half taken off and half crooked, and it was not convenient to open the coffin. Changdong greeted Fei Tang: "Help me move it."
Unable to recognize seal characters, Fei Tang felt that his value had dropped sharply, like a stock K-line, waiting for the opportunity to rise at any time, so he moved the effort, and even the blue veins on his forehead were swelling...
Just as I was moving, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
It's dark.
It was not black, it was dark, and the clouds rolled in for a long time, and they were dyed into the sandy color of old turmeric.
Fei Tang's legs trembled. He remembered his promise before getting in the car, and swallowed his saliva and forced himself to stabilize it.
But Ding Liu giggled and ran over and said, "Fuck me, that's awesome."
She took out her phone to take a video, turned back to take a photo, and said to the camera, "I haven't seen it before."
If there is an Internet connection, she may have broadcast live.
Is this the newborn calf not afraid of tigers? Fei Tang was both jealous and ashamed of himself, and supported the corner of the coffin with all his strength.
Changdong looked up at the sky and said, "It seems that at any time, they don't like the coffin being opened."
Ye Liuxi tied his cuffs and said, "Put it down, I'll do it."
She walked closer, climbed up to the edge of the coffin, let out a deep breath, and suddenly opened it.
There should be nothing unusual. Fei Tang saw it and just frowned.
He rushed forward, looked down at him, and immediately shouted: "Ming! Ming Dynasty!"
It's absolutely impossible to be wrong. He was watching "Folk Clothing" last night.
He pointed out to everyone: "Did you see, net scarves, used by adult men in the Ming Dynasty to make appointments; straight clothes, like Taoist robes; and this, the leather letters worn by them, absolutely!"
In fact, he doesn't need to emphasize, no one has ever thought about doubting it.
Ye Liuxi only found it funny: "Does this be done once in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties?"
Ding Liu took a photo of the coffin and was preparing to go back to show it to Liu Qi: "My godfather said, you opened the Tang coffin last time, is it from the Ming Dynasty this time? Why don't you even have some burial things?"
Changdong said: "We call it a shadow puppet coffin, it's just a simple word. This is not a coffin, it's just a look."
He lowered his head and checked the number of shadow puppets, which was another nine. Apart from the costumes and costumes, they were not much different from the Tang coffin.
Changdong covered the coffin lid: "That charlatan said that the story of the Ghost Camel Corps has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it seems to be inaccurate... Maybe since the Han Dynasty, there have been various dynasties, or in other words, there has been a road inside and outside Yumen Pass to communicate with each other."
There are nine people in a row of camels, but after thinking about it, for more than two thousand years, inside and outside the pass, if there are really two worlds, this camels are like a hanging silk, a weak lineage. Even if it is a successor, how many things can it transport?
He called Ye Liuxi aside: "Do you remember your camera?"
Remember, the Seagull Card, which was universal in the 1980s, is now an old antique.
"The things we use are fast updates. The phones that used buttons a few years ago are almost all touch screen smart. First, there is this need, and second, the material level is extremely rich, which can meet this need. However, if there are really people in the city and do not produce materials and rely on supplies, the situation will be different."
In the era of barren materials, everything is "new three years, old three years, and seams and patches for another three years". I can't bear to throw away the bowl if it smashes. I have to find a bowl maker to get the holes, scoop the iron and sludge to smooth the cracks, and then scoop water and serve soup steadily.
Ye Liuxi said: "Do you think there are people in the pass?"
Changdong replied: "It's not just someone, there's a world."
It's not very peaceful, a little chaotic, and the law is not good, and maybe the strong are invincible.
If there is a shortage of supplies, it may feel confused about the times when you open a door to a family: on the old-fashioned carved bed of the Ming and Qing dynasties, posters of the singers of this century's golden songs, edges of enamel teacups from the 1950s, and old cameras from the 1980s.
That camel path is the blood vessels that are attached to the society outside the pass, and it is brought into the changes outside the pass, but this change cannot be popularized, and the world inside the pass is distorted and bizarre.
Ye Liuxi frowned: "Did those who entered the customs have lived for so long?"
Changdong said: "This possibility is not ruled out, but the greater possibility is that they have died long ago, but there are men and women, which is enough to reproduce."
Perhaps the two had been chatting privately for a while, Ding Liu and Gaoshen were obviously impatient, and Fei Tang also looked at this head...
Finally, he caught a chance to see Changdong: "Brother Dong, are you still hitting the rest of the...?"
Changdong looked up at the sky. It was still a long time before the sunset, but the sky above him was almost the same as the twilight.
Ye Liuxi also looked up at the sky: "If you can hit one, it's one... I'll go and save the car for you."
After hitting the second one, the cloud head almost turned yellow and black, rolling around. Ding Liu was a little timid at this time and was no longer intrigued to take pictures. He unconsciously shrank to Gao Shen. Gao Shen turned on the powerful flashlight, and the light column could not shine too far. Occasionally, he felt that Yun Hai was shaking his face like a winking and twisting his face.
His scalp was a little numb and he shouted at Changdong: "What the hell are you doing?"
Chang Dong was half-squatting in front of the shadow puppet coffin, stretched out his hand and pushed away the floating sand piled up on the coffin body: "What did Master Qi say to you? Take you out, you are not originally a person who is traveling around."
Gao Shen shut up, Liu Qi did explain: Follow closely, don’t make a fuss about the appearance of never seeing the world. If there is any benefit, you can get it. If you really can’t stand it, you can withdraw.
Dan Ding Liu told him privately: "If you want to withdraw, I will not be able to withstand the trouble and let my godfather laugh at it."
There was another picture on the coffin. This time it was in the alchemy room, with a blazing fire. There were two people standing beside the alchemy furnace, one looked like an emperor, maybe Emperor Wu of Han, and the other was an old Taoist, holding floating dust in his hand, and I don’t know what he was talking to the emperor.
Fei Tang rushed to speak: "I know this. Emperor Wu of Han likes to seek immortality, just like Emperor Qin Shihuang. This is refining alchemy. However, Emperor Wu of Han was much more intelligent than Emperor Qin Shihuang. In the end, he woke up and admitted himself that he was deceived by those alchemists, saying that he was 'ignorant and deceived by alchemists'."
Open the coffin.
Without Fei Tang's words, Ye Liuxi could not recognize it, and Fei Tang could not recognize it. It is speculated that there were several dynasties in China, and Hexi was lost. For example, in the Song Dynasty, at that time, either Uighurs or Tubo Xixia, the surrounding area was not eye-catching. The Ghost Camel Craft wanted to enter and leave, so it had to change to ethnic minority clothes.
This indirectly proves that Changdong is right. The ghost camel team has been mingling among people of different eras, purchasing goods and making money, just like ordinary merchants.
The accident happened when I hit the sand and soil platform for the third time, and the car in Yeliuxi Town was no longer useful...
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the time zone should be shining brightly, but the surrounding area was as dark as ink. The car was halfway through, and the body suddenly tilted, as if it was being pushed up by something, and the wheels on one side suddenly flew into the air.
Changdong said in a deep voice: "Hurry up."
Ye Liuxi grabbed the anti-collision pole and looked at the ground in front. His scalp numbed. The car was sideways at an angle of 40 degrees. Her palms were sweating, and she was waiting for her body to bear the shock of the car's overturning... but she didn't know that the roar in her ears kept coming, so the car drove out with the side wheel, and then turned her body and straightened her body in an open space.
Ye Liuxi's ears were buzzing, and his mouth was dry. In the distance, Fei Tang and Ding Liu were both stunned. She felt a little stunned: "You just drove on two wheels?"
Changdong nodded.
Ye Liuxi wanted to ask, could she do it again?
At that moment, the center of gravity was lost, and it seemed like an electric current was extending from the scalp to the neck and the spine, and it was like the soul was thrown out, which felt very exciting.
Changdong pointed ahead: "Look."
At the end of the headlights is a pile of sand more than one meter high. On the pile, the side prints of off-road vehicle tires are clearly visible.
Ye Liuxi reacted: "It was just now..."
"The sand suddenly piled up and the car was empty. It ran slower and was about to overturn... Let's not open the coffin."
At first, it was indeed dangerous. They were already very lucky. Hui Ba had his throat cut before he even opened the lid of the coffin.
Secondly, although this shadow puppet coffin is far from the traditional "coffin", the shadow puppet man did once look like an ordinary person, dressed in clothes and hats, entered and exited the customs, and did business and sleep. Now he is buried in sand and soil. The deceased has dignity and he does not want to disturb people's peace.
Ye Liuxi nodded.
The group returned to the camp before it was really dark.
It was a big deal to collect Hui Ba's corpse. Ding Liu wanted to report to Liu Qi, but there was no signal at all, so he came to Changdong and asked him: "Can you go out tomorrow? When you arrive at a place with good signal outside, I call and ask someone to collect Uncle Ba's corpse."
Fei Tang quickly agreed: "If there is a signal, I can check the seal character converter online and you will know what is written on the coffin."
Changdong acquiesced that by tomorrow, this place should return to normal again.
This time I came in, two more coffins were opened. It seemed that I had gained something, but in fact there was no big progress.
Perhaps because of the fatigue during the day, both sides rested early that night. Changdong lay down but couldn't sleep. He heard the wind outside gradually calming down.
When it is not windy here, it is extremely quiet. The moonlight gradually brightens up, and there is a clear light entering the car.
The curtains also became semi-transparent.
Changdong looked at the curtain in a daze until he suddenly realized that there was a faint floating green reflected on the curtain.
He sat up very lightly and slowly pushed the curtain apart.
Outside the car window, not far away, there was a faint green ghost fire, floating in the distance.
Strangely, it is not a cluster of ghost fire. It is occasionally lengthened, and suddenly it seems to be diluted again, and the light is dissipated very open and very weak.
Ye Liuxi's voice suddenly came: "What are you doing?"
Perhaps it woke her up, Chang Dong shrewd and pointed out the window.
Ye Liuxi sat up, looked at it for a while, and asked him in a low voice: "Let's go see?"
Afraid of waking Fei Tang up, the two of them came out of the car window they pressed, put on their shoes, and followed them along the direction of the ghost fire floating away.
Following, the ghost fire suddenly disappeared.
Ye Liuxi suddenly stopped and was very disappointed: "How come it suddenly..."
Before the words could be finished, the ghost fire appeared again, but this time, the head was big and the body was small, like a tadpole swaying in the air.
Ye Liuxi was surprised: "Can ghost fire still deform?"
Changdong nodded: "Yes, but... it's not like that."
He held his breath and followed quickly. As he approached, a thought suddenly appeared and raised his hand and patted it over.
To be continued...
