Seeing those lifelike puppets, the fat man was so angry that he cursed: "Bah! I didn't expect that Fat Master would be scared by such a puppet person for his lifetime. If this is spread, how could Fat Master stay in Pan's home in the future?"

"Damn it, probably the black shadows on the shore just now were not all lonely ghosts."

I heard that the fat man was like a small train, constantly complaining, and I felt anxious and hurriedly covered the fat man's mouth.

This fat man doesn’t look at where we are now. If we startle the ghost ship in front of us, how can we find the Temple of the Treasure Prince?

Unexpectedly, I would do whatever I thought. As soon as I blocked the fat man's mouth, I heard a rustling sound coming from the ghost ship. The sound was fast and fast, as if a large animal was running around on the deck.

No, there is something on the boat!

I immediately gave Wang Yuanchao a wink. Wang Yuanchao had already been ready, swam forward several meters in the water, and then climbed onto the ghost ship in a few seconds.

Fatty and I didn't care about being exposed at this time, and we got on the boat with Wang Yuanchao.

The things on the boat seemed to know that the three of us were going to catch it. After a few chirpings, they blew out all the green lanterns on the boat.

In an instant, the entire ghost ship fell into extreme darkness.

"Damn, what is this thing? It disappeared in a flash." The fat man said, walking to the boys and girls, fiddling with the lanterns in their hands, as if he wanted to see if they could light them up again.

"Stop working hard, we didn't bring a lighter." I said with a smile and shining the flashlight.

"No!" The fat man suddenly said with the big lantern in his hand, "Dingdang, come and take a look. It seems that the lantern is not a candle."

I was curious, weren’t ancient lanterns lit by candles? Could it be that a light bulb could be installed? If it were really a light bulb, it would really shock my chin.

With a curiosity on my face, I slowly walked to the fat man's side. The fat man handed over the lantern and asked me to see it myself.

When I saw the lantern in my hand, I was also stunned. To be honest, I have never seen such a lantern before. The whole lantern is woven with bamboo strips, with a layer of delicate green gauze covering the outside. It looks like an immature pumpkin in my hand, but the lantern is not a candle lamp oil, but a piece of green stone.

I carefully touched it with my fingers, and there was still warm on the stone.

What's going on?

Could it be that the lantern that was so bright just now was shining with this green stone?

Just as the fat man and I were thinking hard, Wang Yuanchao came back panting. He inserted the paratrooper knife back to his waist, shook his head and said, "That thing is very fast, and it will be gone in the blink of an eye. But I can tell that thing is definitely not a human. Let's be careful next. This ship is too dangerous!"

Wang Yuanchao finished speaking in one breath, and when he saw that we didn't pay attention to him, he suddenly felt a little confused.

I smiled bitterly and handed the lantern in my hand to Wang Yuanchao: "Brother Yuanchao, do you know the green stone in this lantern? There are no candles in the lantern, but it can shine with a stone. This ship will not really sail to the underworld, right?"

Wang Yuanchao seriously pried the stone with a paratrooper knife, then put it under his nose and smelled it. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are thinking too much, this thing is called green phosphorus."

"Green Phosphorus?" I blinked. I had only heard of white phosphorus, but I hadn't heard of green phosphorus yet, so I asked Wang Yuanchao to make it clearer.

Wang Yuanchao picked up the green stone in his hand and said, "Generally speaking, what we often do are white phosphorus. Everyone knows that the ignition point of white phosphorus is very low and will spontaneously ignite at room temperature. But green phosphorus is different. Its ignition point is much higher than white phosphorus, and the burning flame is larger and brighter than white phosphorus. When we marched and fought, we brought a lot of this thing to light up..."

"So that's how it is." I nodded in a vague way.

Wang Yuanchao continued: "Although green phosphorus is easy to preserve, it rarely forms naturally, and is all chemically extracted. How can there be green phosphorus on this ship? And you see, there seems to be a word engraved on the back of this piece of green phosphorus."

"What word?" I quickly shone the flashlight and followed Wang Yuanchao's finger. Sure enough, I found a word engraved on the back of the green phosphorus. The word was straight, and every stroke was clear and clear, looking very comfortable.

I didn't know much about ancient characters, so I asked the fat man to identify them. The fat man just glanced at them and suddenly slapped his head and said, "Do you know what character is this? This is a big 'Wei' character, and the font is also a regular script for the Wei State at that time."

"Card script." I asked in a hurry, "Are you sure?"

"Nonsense! Fatty, I was fooled by this thing in Panjiayuan. I learned from my mistakes and knew it. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei, Shu and Wu divided the world into three parts. Cao Cao had a great calligrapher named Zhong Yao. This Zhong Yao was not only handsome, but also amazing. He created a new calligraphy called regular script. Cao Cao liked it very much and said that it was so beautiful! He let the civil and military officials in the court learn it, so regular script gradually became popular. Zhong Yao became famous for it and was called the two great calligraphy saints of ancient times, along with Wang Xizhi in later generations."

"And the regular script of Wei State is different from that of later generations. Do you see this radical? Cao Cao likes round characters, so he asked Zhong Yao to change the regular script a little more round."

With the introduction of the fat man, I fell into a brief thought: "Cao Wei, Cao Wei..."

After a moment, I shouted: "Fatty, do you think there is such a possibility? Whether it is Zuoer Village or the legend of the Kitchen God, it is related to the tomb we are looking for! Everything on this ghost ship is also in that tomb, and this ship is the only means of transportation connecting the ancient tomb and the outside world."

"No way?" Before I finished speaking, the fat man knocked on the colorful boys and girls beside the boat and said, "If it were something in the tomb, how could there be such fine puppets, and they would laugh? Grandma's scared Fat Master."

I saw that the fat man didn't seem to understand the history of puppets, so I said, "On the contrary, the wisdom of the ancients was often better than that of modern people. In the distant Zhou Dynasty, there were records of puppet men. It is said that a skilled craftsman presented a puppet man to the king. If he patted the puppet's head, the puppet would sing. If he shook the puppet's hand, the puppet would dance. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang even made something called a wooden ox and flowing horse, which could travel back and forth on the mountain road to transport military rations, shocking the enemy. He snatched a wooden ox and flowing horse to the death and took it apart in public. He wanted to see what trick Zhuge Liang was playing, but he found that it was all made of wood. So it was normal for several puppet men to appear in the tomb of Wei State..."

Speaking of this, I touched the faces of the boy and girl with my hands and said, "Look, all these puppets have been treated with anti-corrosion and are coated with oil on the outside. It is not strange that they can be preserved for thousands of years."

"Grandma, I said why these puppets were so broken that they didn't fall apart. It turns out that they all had anti-corrosion treatment." said the fat man.

When Wang Yuanchao saw that the fat man and I both believed that the ghost ship was from the ancient tomb, he asked, "I don't know what you said, but I'm afraid that ordinary princes and ministers would not have the strength to be buried with such exquisite puppets during the Three Kingdoms period?"

"Yes, this is definitely an emperor's tomb." I nodded.

"What should I do now?" asked the fat man.

I took a deep breath and said, "Follow the ghost ship to continue walking! When I see the Treasure Prince Temple, I guess everything will have an answer." (To be continued)
