Chapter 33 Under the Giant Tree, Kneeling the Coffin

Isn't it a mill? What is that?" Chang Yang didn't know why Wu Xuanqiang made such a judgment.

"To be precise, it is not exactly a mill. This is likely to be a center console."

"What? The center console? What do you control?"

"I don't know. We can have a look."

Wu Xuanqiang said, walked to the winch and turned the winch hard.

The sound of "squeaky~" wood friction from far to near.

"What?" Everyone turned their eyes to the place where the sound was made.

"Ban!" A dull voice was falling on the wall to the east of the room.

Wu Xuanqiang walked over, raised his flashlight to look at it, pulled his handle with a "um", and a wooden door was slowly opened.

"What is this?" Looking at several huge boards falling to the ground and slowly rising, everyone stared at them again and again.

"Electricity, elevator?!" Chang Yang gave a relatively similar conclusion.

"God! What power did this rise by?"

"Well, old man, this place is not a underground palace." Wu Xuanqiang made another judgment.

"Do you think this is?"

"This should be a giant tree. We are all in the trunk now."

"Impossible! Didn't you see that it was shining outside when you first came in? Chang Yang still can't believe it.

"Compared with other projects here, this is not unusual. Just wrap a layer of copper outside.

"But why do you conclude that this is a big tree? God, if this is a tree, it doesn't extend outside, it will be at least more than 30 meters. With the height outside, I'm afraid that this tree will have 40 or 50 meters!"

"Look, everyone", Wu Xuanqiang shines the flashlight on the board that has risen again. "The rise of this board and the rotation of the grinding disc are likely to take advantage of the infiltration and water pressure of plants. The underground river we found is likely to be one of the water sources absorbed by this giant tree.

"At the top of this big tree, there may also be a winch, these chains," Wu Xuanqiang pointed to the chain wrapped on the winch. "When it is pushed up by osmosis, the board will rise, and when the board needs to come down, shake the winch to take back the chain."

"Can the osmotic pressure lift such a large wooden board?" Liu Yuan was also hungover.

"In theory, it is possible. As long as the density of the material in this tree is large enough, it can produce corresponding osmotic pressure."

"That means that as long as the treasures can't resist the penetration pressure inside the tree, they may also be pulled up, right?"

"Yes, this is also possible."

"Grandpa, let's sit on this thing!" Liu Yuan was very happy when he heard that there was still a door.

"Oi, let's try the high technology of the ancients."

Liu Yuan ran to the edge of the winch, pulled down the board again, and a group of people stood up.

The board slowly rose.

"Wow! I thought the five of us would be overweight together! I didn't expect that the weight of 700 or 800 catties could be brought up! That's awesome!"

"It seems that in order to prevent damage to the boards and chains, there is no mechanism to intercept the boards, that is to say, the boards will rise from the bottom to the top." Wu Xuanqiang said.

Five people stood on the board, as if they could hear the slight sound of the giant tree when absorbing water.

"What a big tree is! What kind of osmotic pressure can there be! By the way, but how do we know how many floors we have reached? Chang Yang asked on the side.

"Look!" Liu Yuan smiled and shone on the trunk of the tree with a flashlight, and saw that the word "2" was engraved in the not high place.

"As long as you go out faster, there will be no problem."

"The wisdom of our old ancestors is really unpredictable! Such things can be created!"

"Let's be under this second floor." Chang Kaitai opened the wooden door under the word "2" first and went out, and everyone hurried out of the door.

"Since that batch of treasures is likely to be in this big tree, we have to find them one by one." Chang Kaitai looked at Liu Yuan and said.

"Grandpa, thank you for your support." Liu Yuan looked at Changyang with some guilt. Changyang was just greedy for a little bargain and let Chang Kaitai scold him. For the sake of the True Spirit Location Map, the "elevator" that could have been raised at once was not used, but to look for it layer by layer. Chang Kaitai really supported himself unconditionally.

Fortunately, Chang Yang also seemed to take it for granted, without a trace of dissatisfaction, and showed an excited expression.

Follow the wooden road into the first room.

"Grandpa, there is an oil lamp!" Chang Yang seemed to have discovered a new continent. He walked over and lit the oil lamp, so that everyone could see the room more clearly.

The room is full of household facilities, but it seems to be just a bedroom without sanitary facilities and kitchen and bathroom facilities.

"What do they live here and eat? How convenient?" Changyang's question represents everyone's question.

"It seems that we have to walk into another room to know more clearly." Chang Kaitai said.

"Look, what is this? The style is so special!" Bai Yeye pointed to a piece of furniture and said to everyone with a smile.

Not far from the wooden bed, a "Z"-shaped furniture stands on the ground, not too high, less than one meter. Looking at this thing, everyone is curious. It's a wardrobe. It's too short. It's a stool, and it's a little high.

"You will know it by looking at it!" Chang Yang was bold again and walked over and lifted the front cover of the furniture.

"Plop!" Plop!" Changyang and Bai Yeye, two spectators, retreated to the wood** together.

"What's wrong?" I was scared to see the two children, and the remaining three also came forward to see what had happened.

It doesn't matter at first glance, and all three of them also took a breath of cold air.

What kind of furniture is this? It's obviously a coffin!

I saw that there was only a pile of white bones left inside, with an upright upper body and kneeling lower body, with his head resting on the top of the "Z"-shaped coffin.

"This, Grandpa, what kind of coffin is this? Why is there a coffin of this shape?"

"Well, I've heard of this. It's called kneeling coffin."

Chang Kaitai will tell you the origin of the kneeling coffin. This kneeling coffin is mostly used for ordinary people. In fact, most of them have no special significance, but it is more colorful than ordinary coffins. Moreover, people buried in kneeling coffins are usually of low status, such as domestic slaves and maids.

"But there are also some kneeling coffins, just like this," Chang Kaitai pointed to the body in the coffin, "When you die, your hands are imprinted, which is not ordinary. It is likely to be using the kneeling coffin for some kind of sacrifice."

"Such aggrieved coffin, what's the price of being promoted to an official? It's curled up and thrown in, and you have to pray for others. It's really a coward and die." Chang Yang said with a pouted mouth.

"Mr. Liu, look at this." Wu Xuanqiang shone his flashlight on the neckbone of the body.

Huh? It's broken!" Chang Kaitai studied the body thoroughly and saw something strange in it at a glance.

"Yes, this should be installed here after being killed."

"No matter how he died, Grandpa Zu, little grandpa, let's go. The people in such a room are so low that they have been killed. There must be nothing we need. Go to another room and have a look.

After another look, there was really nothing too valuable. A group of people came out of the room and walked to the next room.

This room is exactly the same as the previous one, and even the position of the kneeling coffin has not changed at all. The body was also broken by the neck and buried in this coffin. Five people looked at several rooms in a row, and this was the case.

"Grandpa, this is very strange. Since they all live in this tree hole, these people should be united. How can they rebel and kill each other? And it seems that it will never be done by one person, but more like a group of people killing these people at the same time. Liu Yuan looked at the person kneeling in the coffin and said.

"Do you remember those ghost faces on the ground?"

"You mean those people are the murderers of the people in this coffin?"

"It's possible."

"Then I don't understand that there may be their parents, wives and children here. How can they do it?"

"Look carefully," Chang Kaitai took a photo of the body with his flashlight. "I also noticed the bodies in front of me. The people kneeling in the coffin are all men."

"What does that mean?"

"I think there is a possibility."

"What's the possibility?"

"It is women who dominate in this tree hole."

"Grandpa, what does this mean?"

"It doesn't explain anything. It's just a guess. It's just to find a reasonable explanation for the man kneeling in the coffin."

Several people said this and opened another door.

"Finally know where they are eating!" Chang Yang pushed the door open and shouted happily. Inside is a huge wooden table. There are six stools on each side of the wooden table. The tables and stools are all carved from the wood in the tree and integrated with the ground.

"Well, it seems that what they eat is cooked and rationed uniformly." Wu Xuanqiang touched the wooden table and said.

"Third Grandpa, is this the legendary Datong society?"

Living the same, eating the same, and experiencing the same every day. Liu Yuan couldn't help but think of these four words.

"There may also be such a concept of life. Maybe that's why I moved people outside to come here to live? Chang Kaitai is not sure, but this reason is indeed more convincing. In that hot era, there were many people who held the idea of being a peace dog rather than a troubled world. There is such an ideal country, which is also a kind of **.

"But why are all the people in Datong society killed?" Baiye asked Chang Kaitai.

"This is not good. Let's keep watching."

When the second floor was about to finish, in the last room, five people saw a room of wooden barrels.

"What's the point of putting so many barrels?" White Leaf asked puzzledly.

"It really looks like a large society!" Liu Yuan said, smiled at Chang Kaitai, and then said to Bai Yeye, "These barrels, called Gong buckets, are specially filled with human excreta. It seems that these * will also be solved uniformly every day. But where did they throw these *?

"Grandpa, you don't want to study this kind of unelegant thing, do you?"

When Liu Yuan heard this, he also smiled and stopped talking.

"Xiao Wu, please come down and see what's going on on the first floor. If it's the same as the second floor, you can come up directly. We'll wait for you here." Chang Kaitai said to Wu Xuanqiang.

Wu Xuanqiang nodded and ran down quickly.

"I didn't expect that Asujiba had such courage to throw his emperor's hat and run here to build a Datong society. If he really fights back, maybe we will run into socialism earlier!" Chang Kaitai said to everyone with a smile.

"Old man, the first floor is exactly the same as the second floor." Before long, Wu Xuanqiang ran up again and informed Chang Kaitai of his discovery.

"Well, let's continue to go up!"
