As the last number was in place, a series of sounds of mechanical gears were heard in the box, and the lid of the box popped open with a click, revealing the contents inside.
The space in the box is very small, and a copper fish only as big as a little finger is placed. The space between the copper fish and the wall of the box is very small, and it can only shake slightly.
Wu Xie turned the box upside down and poured out the copper fish, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. The copper fish was ordinary in style, but what was special was that the fish actually had eyebrows: "Strange, I have never seen a fish with eyebrows. The Classic of Mountains and Seas does not Could it be true?"
Wuxie took out the magnifying glass in his pocket and looked carefully, and found that they were not eyebrows at all, but two snakes!
The third uncle dragged the gas cutting cylinder through the door. The gas cutting machine was too expensive and the boss wouldn’t lend it to him, so he only had to make do with this.
"Third Uncle, there's no need to cut it, the box has been opened." Wuxie showed the snake-eyebrow copper fish in his hand to his third uncle.
"How did you open it?" The third uncle put the gas cutting cylinder in a safe place and came close to Wuxie to see what he was holding.
Wuxie briefly mentioned the numbers on the mercenary's belt buckle, and the third uncle gave a serious warning: "Don't randomly try passwords in the future. Who knows what mechanisms are there?"
Warning to Wuxie, the third uncle skillfully took out the magnifying glass for treasure appraisal from his pocket and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look at the snake-browed copper fish. After looking at it for a few seconds, he exclaimed: "Isn't this the snake-browed copper fish!? "
Wuxie was startled by the startled third uncle: "Third uncle, do you know this thing?"
The third uncle placed the magnifying glass and the snake-eyebrow copper fish on the coffee table, and then took out something from the inner pocket of his suit.
Surprisingly, it is another fish that is exactly the same as the Snake-browed Bronze Fish!
Wuxie quickly took the fish and inspected it. This fish was exactly the same as the previous fish, but there was a lot of white dirt in the grooves of the scales: "Uncle Third, is this a seafood?"
The third uncle nodded: "Yes, it was that time that made my intestines turn green with regret. If I had held back that time, my child would be as old as you."
Wu Xie was speechless: "Third Uncle, when you and Aunt Wenjin fell in love, I was so embarrassed, your..."
Wuxie suddenly reacted: "No way... Third uncle, did Aunt Wenjin's accident happen at that time?"
The third uncle sighed: "Back then, we were all young and vigorous people. We didn't know what fear was. We just didn't expect that the things sinking under the water would be so big..."
More than ten years ago, my third uncle and the archaeological team went to sea to serve as technical consultants to salvage sunken ships. The seabed was densely covered with blue and white porcelain waiting for them to salvage, which is of great archaeological value.
They salvaged for three days and achieved a lot, but something happened on the fourth day. Someone went missing in a kayak to salvage porcelain.
When they found it, the man was already dead because his foot was stuck in the coral reef. What the man was holding on to in his left hand was this snake-browed copper fish with white dirt filling the gaps between its scales.
Later, they conducted a blanket search in the sea area where the accident occurred. The third uncle found the accessories on the ancient anchor under the water, and guessed that there was a very huge shipwreck and undersea tomb in that area.
Shipwrecked seabed tombs are built on a large ship, then find a low-lying area in the sea, smash the ship through, sink the ship and the tomb to the bottom of the sea, and finally seal the low-lying area with soil.
There was a sudden storm on the sea, and their kayak could not hold up at all, so the third uncle suggested to take shelter in the undersea tomb.
Although some people objected, after analyzing the pros and cons with them, the third uncle agreed to go to the grave.
When they were in the undersea tomb, they were attacked by sea monkeys. That thing could actually imitate human movements. Fortunately, they all entered the tomb safely without any danger.
The third uncle's guess was right. There was indeed an air chamber for storing air in the undersea tomb. They took off their diving equipment as soon as they entered the air chamber from the spring.
Everyone's unanimous impression of the tomb was that it smelled good, and the fragrance seemed to be hypnotic. The third uncle became more and more sleepy as he smelled it and instantly fell asleep.
Wuxie was listening to the story enthusiastically, but his third uncle suddenly stopped. He quickly urged: "Third uncle, what happened next? Keep talking."
The third uncle mentioned the sad past, lit a cigarette and smiled bitterly before continuing: "I'm still confused about what happened next. When I woke up, I found that everyone was gone.
When I looked carefully, I realized that it was me who was missing. The mechanism of the undersea tomb had been triggered somehow, and I was no longer in the original tomb.
I got up from the ground and looked for the mechanism, and found that there was a golden nanmu coffin in the tomb. "
"Third uncle, you must have lifted the lid of someone else's coffin, right?" Wu Xie joked in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere.
The third uncle rolled his eyes: "I didn't move the coffin. That was the fastest time I ran across a coffin in my life. Water came out of the golden nanmu coffin, like rice dumplings bathing in it. .
I am not afraid of the rice dumplings on dry land. This is the first time I have seen rice dumplings on the seabed. I am afraid that they will jump out and knock my head off, so I put on my diving helmet and jumped into the spring, groping my way out. "
Wuxie caught the bug in Third Uncle's story: "Third Uncle, didn't you and Aunt Wenjin and the others separate into another tomb? Why is the spring that entered the ancient tomb still there?"
The third uncle's expression froze instantly: "How the hell do I know why it's still there? Do you still want to hear the story?"
Wuxie hurriedly put his hands together and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, Third Uncle, please continue talking~"
The third uncle continued: "After I swam out of the Robber's Cave, I was taken to the hospital by the boat that came to retrieve us. When I recovered, when I asked, the archaeological team members and Wen Jin were gone.
It has been almost twenty years now and there is no news at all. No one alive, no dead body, no one alive..."
"Third Uncle...no news is the best news..." Wuxie has never been in love and doesn't know how to comfort her, so she can only refill the tea for Third Uncle.
"This isn't good tea. Why are you pouring so much for me?" The third uncle pushed the tea cup away silently and pointed at the innocent tea bag in disgust.
Wuxie smiled: "Isn't it because the tea bags come in many varieties and are cheap?"
The third uncle suddenly realized: "By the way, eldest nephew, I suddenly remembered that among the people who entered Haidou with me, there was one who looked like Menyou... No, there was someone who looked very similar to me!"
Wu Xie frowned: "Third uncle, you remember correctly, right? Men You Ping must have been about the same age as me more than ten years ago. How could I fight with you in the sea?"
The third uncle began to recall carefully, but it was too long ago: "I have a group photo at home that was taken before going to sea. Wait for me to find it."
Just do it, the third uncle called Pan Zi and asked him to find the photo, take one and send it to them.
In less than three minutes, Wu Xie's cell phone mailbox rang with a notification tone. He quickly transferred the photos to his computer and studied them with his third uncle.
Although the old black and white photos have a lot of mottled marks, they are still very well preserved. It seems that the third uncle often takes them out and looks at them.
There were ten people in the archaeological team, standing in two rows. In his youth, the third uncle squatted in the first row, and behind him stood the man who looked exactly like Zhang Qiling!
No, judging from the iconic long two fingers, it should be the stuffy oil bottle!
Wuxie suddenly felt a cold sweat coming down from his back: "Third uncle... why... almost twenty years have passed and he hasn't aged at all?"
"Yeah...why hasn't he gotten older...?" The third uncle stared at the photo, suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "I understand!"
"Third uncle, what do you understand?" Wu Xie was startled by his third uncle and almost thought he was going crazy.
"Eldest nephew, you stay at home and look after the house. If you need help, ask Pan Zi for help. I want to go to Xisha again!" After the third uncle said that, he stood up and left, without giving Wu Xie a chance to ask questions.
