Chapter 234 The King of Sands (3) Daily seeking for the moon

"What are such thick chains used to lock?" Old Hegong's voice was a little trembling.

The fibers used on the Yangtze River are made of hemp ropes. No matter how big the boat is, it is also made of thick hemp ropes. Even if it is an anchor, taking the large ship sailing on the Yangtze River as an example, it is impossible to use such thick bronze chains.

The bronze chain is extremely cold and emits an astonishing chill as soon as it is unearthed. Under the scorching sun, you can feel the coldness even when standing next to the chain.

"Dig, we sold so much copper, and we would sell it one by one. The wife and children at home would not be hungry for several years." The river workers were really afraid of hunger. There were only copper chains in their eyes that could pay back the money, and there was no time to think about it.

A group of 17 people were digging down the copper chain. After digging for about ten meters, only a few people's hoes sounded ping-pong, and sparks burst out from the tip of the hoe. The river workers were so shocked that their household registration was numb, and they kept covering their bowls and screaming.

"It's the end?" Lao Hu Gongxi said.

Such a long and thick bronze chain weighs dozens of tons. As long as they are transported out, each of them can make a fortune. After all, copper is much easier to take than cultural relics.

Old Hegong carefully wiped the end of the chain, and suddenly, he frowned: "No, there is something underneath."

When everyone saw it, it turned out that the bronze chain more than one meter thick was locked in a white pillar. The pillar seemed as white as ivory. Even though it had been soaked in mud for thousands of years, it was still as white as jade, dazzling.

"Why do you lock this thing with chains? This pillar doesn't seem like jade or stone. Hey, I've been a river engineer for more than fifty years and have never seen this thing before." The old river engineer was puzzled.

He tapped the thick pillar, about two meters thick, hard. His fingers sounded, and the chilling chill kept drilling straight from the white pillar into his bones.

In an instant, the old Hegong almost suffered frostbite.

"This thing is so evil, so cold." He quickly took a few steps back.

The other 16 river workers were all shocked when they saw the white pillar. One of them said greedily: "Maybe there is an ancient tomb under the white pillar. If we find the burial objects in the tomb, we will not have to worry about this life."

His words aroused everyone's greed.

The river workers didn't care about their fatigue and started to dig up the white pillar. Although the pillar was extremely huge, the whole body seemed to have been carefully polished, very delicate.

The river workers immediately dug deeper and deeper. When they finally dug seven or eight meters deep, no one dared to dig any further.

Because they discovered that the so-called white pillar was not a pillar. It was obviously a huge bone, the spine of a certain creature, one by one, accumulated on the bottom of the rolling Yangtze River and directly penetrated the depths of the riverbed.

It was just because it was too big that they were mistaken for white pillars by their greedy river workers at the beginning.

All the river workers were extremely surprised. They had never heard of the spine of what kind of creature it was so big. Although there were large fish in the Yangtze River, they were just the type of porpoise, which could grow up to three meters long at most. No matter how big the fish was, they only appeared in legends.

What's more, this huge spine cannot be a fish.

On the contrary, it is like a human. The spine is distributed very evenly. The thick bronze chain is clearly used to lock this skeleton.

This is really incredible.

"King of the Golden Sands, this must be the King of the Golden Sands." A river craftsman suddenly thought of something, aimed at the huge skeleton and bowed.

Other river workers also woke up. With such a big skeleton, if they were just a person, they would definitely be a giant with a height of more than 100 meters in their lifetime. Isn’t such a giant exactly the same as the legend of the King of Sands?

Could it be that the spine in front of you belongs to King of Sands?

When the thought of this, the ignorant river workers could not hold on anymore and knelt down to worship. No one dared to continue the idea of ​​putting on the bronze chain, and no one was greedy again.

The river workers called other river workers and spent a few days burying the bronze chains and huge spine into the deep mud again.

While discovering the location of the spine, a white bone temple was built to worship the King of Jinsha. The temple has been standing in the center of the Yangtze River since its construction. It has been several floods and has not yet been washed away, which has further strengthened the consensus among the villagers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Under the White Bone Temple is the body of the King of Jinsha. As long as you burn incense and worship, you can have good weather and rain, so that the Yangtze River will no longer be flooded.

Gu Laoqi is an eyewitness of this incident, so he has always been sincerely reminding his descendants to respect the King of Jinsha because it is a real god. The evidence is below the White Bone Temple.

When I heard Lao Gu tell this experience, Mu Wan and I were shocked.

Mu Wan touched her long hair and said, "Old Gu, is this story true?"

"Of course it's true." Seeing Mu Wan, Lao Gu finally felt awe of King Jinsha, and was finally satisfied.

"Where is the White Bone Temple now? After so many years, if there were really giant skeletons buried in the mud, why didn't I hear an archaeological team digging?" Mu Wan's questions came one after another, and the sparrows seemed to have not stopped.

Old Gu Yaran: "Oh, that White Bone Temple is gone."

"How could it be gone? Lao Gu, you just said that the White Bone Temple has experienced several storms and even if it floods, it will stand firm. Why do you say it is gone now?" Mu Wan said contemptuously.

Old Gu coughed twice: "Hey, this, there is still a hidden story in the middle."

"Hidden story?" Ye Nuo believed that he had a wide range of knowledge and had never heard of the legend of the White Bone Temple.

"Think about it, the huge spine of the King of Sands was dug out of the riverbed and buried in the mud. The villagers on both sides burned incense and worshiped all day long.

You should know that the body of the blue whale living in the Atlantic Ocean can reach more than 30 meters, which is already the largest creature on earth in history. The dinosaurs tens of millions of years ago seemed to be the largest ones only a few dozen meters long. But the backbone of the King of Sands is about one hundred meters.

Then how huge it will be? For my grandfather and his generation, there is no way to believe it, and there is only worship."

Old Gu took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Ye Nuo. Ye Nuo waved his hand. He put the cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and took a hard breath.
