Xie Ling stared at it with wide eyes, "It really is there, but it's dark and I can't see clearly what it is."
Gu Wei was used to asking Xie Ling for her opinion before doing anything. He tilted his head and whispered, "Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Xie Ling pulled his chin and thought for a while, then nodded, "Let's see."
This side is a certain distance away from the bluestone slab where the skeleton man is sitting. In the middle is a surging underground river, and no one knows how deep it is.
Gu Wei reached out and touched it, and it was chilling to the bone.
Immediately said: "Don't go in, the water is too cold and it's not good for a woman's health, I'll hold you."
Before Xie Ling could answer, Gu Wei picked her up and flew over lightly using his lightness skills.
Xie Ling didn’t know where Gu Wei got this knowledge, but she still felt warm in her heart.
The two were only one meter away from the skeleton man at this time.
Xie Ling silently looked at the bones' age, "1.80 meters tall, male, less than 30 years old."
He sighed softly, "It's a shame that he died so young in such a dark place."
Gu Wei lowered his head and observed whether there were any words carved around the man.
Unfortunately, there was no identification carved around the man.
Xie Ling calmly analyzed, "This man is sitting in a very casual position, with his limbs relatively relaxed. He should not have been abused or forced before his death."
"Does this mean that he was sitting here waiting to die?" Gu Wei continued with Xie Ling's words.
Xie Ling nodded, "He should be the constructor of the stone chamber."
After the words were spoken, both of them were shocked.
Although he had such superb architectural skills and was able to construct such an exquisite stone chamber, he did not build a tomb for himself, and did not even prepare a coffin.
Instead, he sat upright and died alone and lonely in this cave where there was not even a trace of light.
Xie Ling fixed her eyes on the man's arms.
The man held his hands together, dragging a square piece of black jade. Under the jade, a piece of sheepskin was faintly visible.
Gu Wei bent down and took it out.
The moment he took it out.
The man's bones dissipated instantly, and even his clothes turned into powder and fell to the ground in an instant.
A sigh seemed to be heard in the air, like liberation and relief.
Only the green belt wrapped around the back of his head did not dissipate, and then fell onto the bluestone slab, splashing a puff of smoke.
Gu Wei blinked, his face full of guilt, "A Ling, I, I don't know......"
Xie Ling shook her head. "It's not your fault. This skeleton has probably been here for thousands of years. The slightest collision will cause it to fall apart."
As she spoke, Xie Ling bent down and picked up the long green belt.
The material is smooth and cool to the touch. It is probably made of Jiao gauze. Even in such a dim room, it reflects light and has not decayed for thousands of years.
There were words embroidered on it, but Xie Ling couldn't understand them. They were very complicated, with flying dragons and phoenixes. They were probably ancient characters from thousands of years ago.
Xie Ling handed it to Gu Wei casually, "Do you understand?"
Gu Wei took it and looked at it. "This character looks familiar to me. The teacher taught me before that this is bronze inscription from the Zhou Dynasty, but I thought it was boring at the time and didn't study it seriously..."
Having said this, Gu Wei suddenly paused and looked carefully. He found that he could actually understand all the words on it!
Why? He obviously hasn’t learned it!
Moreover, the teacher only found a few golden characters for classroom demonstration, and he never mentioned the words on the blog!
Xie Ling consoled him, "Forget it if you don't understand it. It's okay. Take it with you and study it later."
Gu Wei raised his hand to stop him. "No, Aling, I can understand. There is a big "Si" character embroidered on the front of this belt, and on the back it says, since you have come here, you are Si's destined person. I hope you can scatter my ashes in the sea. Si Xi is here.
I have heard of the surname Si. It was a secretive clan during the Zhou Dynasty. All the disciples were experts in building houses and buildings. They built the imperial palace of the Zhou Dynasty. However, with the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, they gradually disappeared. "
Xie Ling nodded.
"In that case, let's just take him out. After all, we've taken his things."
After saying this, he immediately took out the plastic box from the space and bent down to clean the ashes.
Just when she was halfway through packing, she suddenly saw an exquisite wooden box in the crevice of the stone in front of her.
With a puzzled look on her face, she took a big step forward and took out the wooden box.
The wooden box was empty, with nothing inside. Ghosts and gods symbolizing death were carved around it, and it was obviously an urn.
Xie Ling really admires Si Xi.
From this perspective, you can only see it when you squat down to clean the ashes. He even prepared a wooden box to hold his own ashes. Is he really a genius? Does he think he will be taken away?
Then, Xie Ling poured the ashes in the plastic box into the wooden box.
Gu Wei also helped and put the remaining ashes into the wooden box, leaving nothing behind.
Finally, the green Jiao gauze belt was carefully folded and placed in the wooden box.
The moment the wooden box was closed, the piece of wood that was originally engraved with Bai Wuchang suddenly popped open, revealing a small iron box the size of a fingernail.
Both of them were shocked.
What is this?
Gu Wei tried hard to pry it open, but couldn't, so he gave up.
However, this thing popped out after they packed the ashes, so it must be some treasure. It was probably a thank-you gift from Si Xi to them.
After everything was done, the two of them walked out of the cave and came to the stone chamber above.
Xie Ling moved the iron piece at the top of the chimes to a new position, so that the chimes would not make any sound when wind blew in the future.
When the two came out of the stone chamber, the first rays of light were just beginning to appear in the sky, shining on the vast sea, a dazzling golden color.
Only after Gu Wei closed the stone slab did the two have time to take a good look at the jade and sheepskin fragments taken out of the man's arms.
This piece of jade is very small and black, and you can't see anything at all.
On the parchment fragment was a map-like drawing drawn with a red cinnabar pen.
However, the painting style is very abstract. One can roughly see that there are several towering mountains surrounding a round lake. The mountains are full of brightly colored flowers and trees, and there is a half-body dragon swimming in the lake.
The two of them frowned more and more as they looked at each other.
Such an exquisite stone chamber only contains these two things?
Xie Ling paused and said, "There must be a deeper meaning, but we can't understand it, so let's leave it alone for now."
Gu Wei nodded and put the things into his sleeves. "It's daybreak now, let's go scatter the ashes."
There happened to be a very high rocky cliff on the east side. After the two men climbed up, the wind made their hair and sleeves rustle.
Xie Ling let go and threw the ashes down.
The sea breeze was strong, and the fluttering ashes seemed to scatter like smoke, free and unrestrained, falling into the vast blue sea in the rising glow of the sunset.
"Let's go."
Xie Ling tugged at Gu Wei's sleeve.
Gu Wei paused and stretched out his hand, "A Ling, look what that is?"
Xie Ling was so busy disposing of the ashes that she didn't notice it.
At this moment, he looked down along Gu Wei's arm and took a breath.
