The vertical coffin at the bottom of the Yellow River opened its eyes.
Chen Jiu has been fishing for river rafts for half his life, and has never seen anything like this - dozens of coffins embedded vertically in the river bed, the lines on the copper rings are like countless squirming eyes, and the sound of flutes coming out of the cracks in the coffins can tickle the bones of people.
His father disappeared in this water area twenty years ago, leaving only a bronze talisman engraved with "Xuanshui Bone Mirror". Now, the half human bones retrieved from the broken coffin actually match the writing on the talisman.
What's even weirder is that the red rope on the bone is still moving.
When the first vertical coffin cracked open and pale hands stretched out from the river mud, Chen Jiu realized: those flute sounds floating in the night were not crying, but calling. His father was never looking for treasures, but something that could hold the entire Yellow River in check.
On the day when the three bones are put together, the water veins will flow backwards, the dead priest will open his eyes, and the words hidden behind the talisman will reveal a truth that has been soaked in the river for three thousand years -
The so-called bone examination is never about water.
It's the ghost in people's hearts.
