What surprised us was that this tortoise shell as big as an Eight Immortals Table was not made up of several small tortoise shells. It was simply a whole, a complete and huge tortoise shell. Under the sunlight, a faint green light appeared on the surface of the tortoise shell, just like the past ancient time.

I have grown up so big that the largest turtle I have ever seen is just as big as a washbasin. It was caught by my grandfather in the Yellow River, but my grandfather later released the turtle. He said that the turtle had lived in the Yellow River for at least a hundred years and had long become a spirit and a spirit beast. He could not hurt it, otherwise he would be lucky.

I turned around and asked my grandfather: "Have you ever seen such a big turtle?"

Grandpa reached out and touched the hard turtle shell: "I have been walking on the Yellow River for more than fifty years, but I have never seen such a big giant turtle. However, the old Yellow River worker once told me a strange thing about the 'Nine Turtle Carrying Snake', and mentioned this giant turtle!"

Gu Meidi was intrigued, put down his work, pestered his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, grandpa, I want to hear the story of the nine turtles carrying snakes!"

Grandpa naturally would not refuse the request of the "future granddaughter-in-law". He pulled a small stool and sat down, and slowly told in his unique hoarse tone: "In the early days of the Republic of China, one year, the Yellow River flooded. After the flood, the fishermen found a thick gray-white trunk on the water. What is strange is that there were white scales growing on the trunk, shining in the sun.

The fishermen were very curious, so they rowed the boat over to see what was strange about the thick trunk. When the fishermen came nearby, someone threw out the fish hook and hooked the trunk, trying to see carefully. Suddenly, the trunk moved strangely. At this moment, the sharp-eyed fishermen found in fear that it was not a trunk at all, but a gray-white python, and a snake head the size of a wheel poked out from the water, spewing out a mist of water.

All the fishermen were frightened. They had never seen such a large python. The giant python was more than twenty meters long, as thick as a water tank, covered with silver-white snake scales, bright red eyes as big as an adult's fist. The scarlet letters were flying around in the air, making whistling sounds, which was extremely shocking.

The fishermen did not dare to move and watched the giant python float past in front of them. What is confusing is that the giant python did not twist its body, so why did it drift along the water? No wonder everyone would regard it as a trunk.

However, when the giant python was drifting by, careful fishermen discovered that there was a row of huge black shadows under the giant python, and they didn't know what it was.

Several brave fishermen followed quietly in a boat. After following for nearly a kilometer, the giant python slowly surfaced, and the row of black shadows under the giant python also appeared in the water.

The fishermen finally saw it appropriately. The row of black shadows turned out to be nine green-armored giant tortoises connected to the head and tail. The nine giant tortoises lined up, and the one behind biting the tail in front was like a skewers connected together. The gray-white giant python actually lay comfortably on the back of the nine giant tortoises, letting them drift on their carrying and drifting.

No experts and scholars can provide reasonable explanations about the phenomenon of giant tortoise carrying snakes until now.

Later, some people said that the gray-white giant python was not an ordinary python, but the Dragon Prince in the Yellow River. The nine giant turtles were the guards around the Dragon Prince. They were responsible for carrying the giant python to the mouth of the Yellow River. When the mouth of the Yellow River, the gray-white giant python would turn into a dragon!"

Gu Meidi and I were shocked. There were too many phenomena that could not be explained in nature. Will the giant python turn into a dragon? No one can explain it clearly.

I took out the shovel and hammer from the toolbox: "Okay, now let's open the coffin and take a look!"

Gu Meidi squatted on the ground, holding a magnifying glass and observing it carefully. She reached out and knocked on the coffin, and a dull echo of thudding came from the coffin.

Gu Meidi showed a look of surprise on his face: "Tsk tsk! This coffin is made of gloomy wood!"

Gloomy wood is a very precious wood. Earthquakes, floods, and mudslides buried all the creatures on the ground into low-lying places such as ancient riverbeds. In the hypoxia and high pressure state and the action of bacteria and microorganisms, it was formed through thousands of years of carbonization. It also has the elegance of wood and the charm of stone. It is known as "Oriental Divine Wood" and "Plant Mummy". Coffins made of gloomy wood can not only prevent moisture, corrosion and insects, but also have the preciousness of its own value. Therefore, in ancient times, only royal aristocrats could be buried in gloomy wood coffins after death. Gloomy wood also became a symbol of aristocrats, and ordinary people did not have this qualification at all.

Gu Meidi and I looked at each other. Since the coffin was made of gloomy wood, it means that the person in the coffin was most likely a royal aristocrat. It seems that we did not run away in vain this trip, but we actually harvested a royal coffin. What kind of dynasty is this coffin? Who is the person in the coffin? All these will be concluded after the coffin is opened.

I walked around with the hammer, but I didn't find any gaps to start. The Yin Wooden Coffin was like a natural whole. I couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that this was not a coffin, but a complete Yin Wood?

"Tuoba Gu, come here!" Gu Meidi waved at me with a magnifying glass.

I walked over and squatted beside her. She pointed at the inside of the end of the tortoise shell, which was inlaid with a small silver ring. Because the ring was inside the tortoise shell, it was difficult to find.

"What is this?" I asked in confusion.

Gu Meidi said: "It's like a small machine, I'll try pulling it!"

I nodded: "Be careful!"

"Why are you a mother-in-law? Let's go and see me!" Gu Meidi rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her fingers to hook the buckle, and pulled it out hard.

After two seconds of silence, I heard a strange sound coming from the coffin. I stood by the side with a hammer, looking at the Yin wooden coffin with vigilantly. If something evil object emerged from the coffin, I would kill it with one hammer.

"Look! Look!" Gu Meidi shouted happily.

I saw an inner coffin in the shape of a drawer slowly sliding out from the center of the coffin. I widened my eyes and opened my mouth in surprise. The design of this Yin Wooden coffin is simply ingenious. An inner coffin is inlaid with an inner coffin, and a mechanical sash is installed in the coffin. Once the mechanical sash is activated, the inner coffin will slide out from the coffin like a drawer, which is very exquisite.

We surrounded us and saw a young man lying quietly inside the inner coffin in the drawer style. After so many years, the young man is still lifelike, with clear facial features and intact skin and flesh without any decay. When we saw it, we thought he was just sleeping. I poked it gently with my fingers and found that his skin was still elastic. It seemed that his body was well maintained in the Yinmu coffin.

The young man had a long and narrow face, a strong nose bridge, deep eyes, wearing a hedgehog helmet and black armor, and holding a curved Lengyue knife in his right hand. Even though he had been sleeping in the coffin for thousands of years, we could still feel the strong murderous aura emitted from him.

I was slightly stunned. The image of this ancient corpse was somewhat different from what we imagined. We originally thought that the person in the coffin must be a royal relative wearing a dragon and a phoenix, but unexpectedly, he was a warrior holding a weapon.

I said: "From his clothes and outfit, this person should have been a warrior before his lifetime! But he was definitely not an ordinary warrior, otherwise he would not have enjoyed the royal treatment of the Yin Wooden Coffin!"

"Yes!" Gu Meidi nodded: "His appearance is obviously different from that of the people in the Central Plains. I think it is closer to the people in the Western Regions!"

We wore sterile gloves and touched the ancient corpse from head to toe, but we didn't find a single burial object, which was far beyond our expectations.

Gu Meidi suggested to me: "Let's turn the ancient corpse over and take a look!"

I nodded in agreement, because some ancient people liked to put their babies under their bodies when they were buried.

Grandpa found a straw mat, and Gu Meidi and I carefully carried the ancient corpse out of the inner coffin, placed it flat on the straw mat, and then turned it over for him.

Gu Mei Dixin and I divided the work together tacitly. I reached out to touch the bottom of the coffin, while Gu Mei Di stretched out to touch the back of the Gu corpse.

What disappointed me was that the bottom of the coffin was empty and there was nothing.

At this moment, Gu Meidi shouted to me over, and I was delighted: "Have you found the funeral objects?"

"No!" Gu Meidi shook his head: "There is no half of the funeral belongings on him!"

"Oh!" I sighed heavily: "It is difficult to guess the age of ancient corpses without burial objects!"

"But it's not completely undetected!" Gu Meidi pulled down the armor on the back of the ancient corpse for half an inch, then pointed at the back of the neck of the ancient corpse: "Look here!"

I leaned over and looked closely and saw a tattoo on the back of the neck of the ancient corpse. It was a lifelike eyeball, like an eye growing on the back. The pupils were strange green, and a deep-cold gaze was faintly revealed in the pupils, which made me shivering for no reason.

I didn't dare to look at the eyeball tattoo again, and turned my head to ask Gu Meidi: "Do you know what ethnic group has eyeball worship or eyeball totem?"

Gu Meidi shook her head: "In the knowledge base stored in my brain, there is really no record of eyeball tattoos!"

If there is something that Gu Meidi doesn't know, then this matter must be very difficult. I took out my cell phone, took several photos of the ancient corpse, and then passed it to Professor Ye, hoping that Professor Ye, who is knowledgeable, can find the answer.
