Volume 5 Qinling Evil Ghost Chapter 416 The Giant Coffin of the Princes

In fact, not only Chen Xiaopang, but also Ding Lingling and Hongxing also jumped and jumped and cheered.

Tie Niu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and said: "No wonder the people of the Xun Qin Sect have persevered again and again, this room full of treasures, if they are all moved away by the Xun Qin Sect people, then the Xun Qin Sect people will really become multimillionaires!"

Iron Bull is right, this tomb is indeed full of treasures.

First of all, the area of the tomb is more than 100 square meters, and in the middle of the tomb, an extremely large coffin is suddenly placed.

Around the coffin are all kinds of pottery, jade, gold and silver, bronze, and two black lacquered wooden boxes.

In addition, there are many murals painted on the four walls. Among them, the left and right walls are close to the side of the black lacquered wooden door, and there are two other door openings, which are estimated to be buried in the concubine chamber for the princes.

"How can this coffin be so huge? If this is just a prince's tomb, the coffin should not be regulated more than the emperor's coffin, right?" said Bai Yang.

Ancient tombs were as strict as dressing and building houses.

For example, the image of a dragon can only appear on the emperor's clothes, and only the royal palace can carve dragons and phoenixes.

And the same is true for tombs, the coffin system of the Zhou Dynasty has been clearly stipulated: "The coffin of the Son of Heaven is sevenfold, the princes are five, the doctor is three, and the scholar is heavy." ”

But the coffin in front of him occupies almost half of the entire tomb area, and the height is almost to the top of the tomb. Not to mention the five-fold, I'm afraid it's bigger than the seven-fold coffin of the Son of Heaven.

"Maybe there is a husband and wife burial together, right?" Chen Xiaopang said, "We have found that the coffin of husband and wife buried together before is indeed larger than a single coffin!"

"Even if the husband and wife are buried together, it shouldn't be so big, right?" Ding Lingling said, "I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy! Should we open this coffin and take a look, if there is any evil in it, let's not get rid of it, and when the other archaeological teams come, they may not be able to resist it!"

"I agree with Lingling's opinion!" Bai Yang nodded first, "To be honest, I also have a bad feeling, I feel that inside this coffin, it will not be so simple as the corpse of the tomb owner!"

"I have no problem opening the coffin, I'm just afraid that the tools in our hands are not fine enough, which will damage the external structure of the coffin!" Chen Xiaopang said.

"Then let's be careful, it's better than having other archaeological teams come across something terrible!" Iron Bull said.

As they spoke, they approached the huge coffin and examined it carefully, and soon found that the outermost coffin was made of broad, thick wooden planks, and the top was also covered with black lacquer.

According to Chen Xiaopang's judgment, these planks should be pine. Pine is also the most commonly used wood for people to make coffins in the pre-Qin period.

In addition, this unusually huge outer coffin is carved with patterns on all sides, and the top is a cornice, which makes it feel like a gorgeous small palace.

However, there are not a few ancient coffins made into palaces, and a few people do not feel very curious, but discuss where to start and open this huge outer coffin.

There were no iron nails in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the horizontal plate of the coffin body was connected by a wooden wedge between the horizontal board and the straight board, Chen Xiaopangzai looked carefully and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help frowning again, and said: "Such a complete and huge wooden structure has immeasurable significance for us to study the housing construction and carpentry technology of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but none of us understand carpentry, and it is basically impossible to forcibly open it without damage at all! And once it is damaged, it is an incomparably huge loss!"

Bai Yang knew that what Chen Xiaopang said was not alarmist, so he could only think about it for a while and said, "Why don't we exit first, and I will stay outside the tomb with Lao Hei, and the three of you will rush back to report to Uncle Ding, and Uncle Ding will make the decision?"

"I don't think we should go back to my dad to report, or take a closer look at this coffin first, maybe we can find some kind of mechanism to open it directly?" Ding Lingling said.

"There is a mechanism on top of the coffin, but there has never been!" Chen Xiaopang said.

"But we've never seen such a huge coffin, have we?" Ding Lingling retorted with a smile.

Chen Xiaopang was speechless, so he could only turn his head to look at Poplar.

Bai Yang nodded and said, "Then do what Lingling says!" Lingling and Brother Chubby will investigate this coffin, and the remaining three of us will check this tomb. Hongxing focused on inspecting the murals on the four walls to see if she could find a way to open the coffin from the murals!"

Several people nodded in agreement. Tie Niu said: "I can't do any of this, or I'll go and see what kind of treasures will be in the two side tombs!"

"You have to be careful when you go to the side tombs!" Hong Xing immediately said, "You see these two side tombs, they don't look like the side tombs in the tomb of Emperor Nanzhao in Gongga Daxue Mountain?

A few people took a closer look at the two not-so-large doorways on both sides of the tomb, which were indeed very similar to the two side tombs in the tomb of Emperor Nanzhao.

And the Blue Fire Crow can be said to be the most terrifying kind of monster that several people have encountered in their lives, even with the ability of Poplar and Iron Bull, it is difficult to save their lives when they encounter the Blue Fire Crow.

Because of what Hongxing said, several people couldn't help but shudder.

Bai Yang hurriedly smiled and said: "How is it possible! Didn't the Red Gate Lord say that the Blue Fire Flying Crow is a unique ability of the wizards of the Nanzhao Kingdom, and this tomb is nearly two thousand years earlier than the Nanzhao Kingdom, so it is unlikely that there will be this kind of evil magic that only the wizards of the Nanzhao Kingdom have." ”

When Hongxing heard him say this, she couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said, "Yes, I think too much! Then let's act quickly, otherwise when we have to rush back to Xi'an to report to Teacher Ding, we won't be able to get out of the mountains before dark!"

A few people looked at their watches and it was past four o'clock, and now it was dark before seven o'clock, so several people immediately acted according to the allocation of Poplar.

Tie Niu went directly into the side tomb, and soon shouted inside: "Lao Bai is a bluestone coffin here, can you open it to see what the situation is inside?"

When Bai Yang heard his call, he also hurriedly walked over, and saw that the side tomb was rectangular in shape, with an area of only a dozen square meters, and there was indeed a bluestone sarcophagus in the middle.

"It's okay to open it, and if it's a sealed coffin, don't touch it!" said Poplar.

The style of the stone coffin is the same as the children's stone coffin outside, but it is much larger, and it looks like an adult stone coffin, and there must be a set of coffins inside.

There were also edges and corners stuck between the stone coffin and the coffin cover, and the iron bull could only carefully pry a gap with a crowbar, and only when the poplar picked it with his hands did the two brothers lift the coffin cover and move it to the side.

There is indeed a well-sealed wooden coffin inside, but the material of this wooden coffin is obviously inferior to the toddler coffin outside.

The toddler's coffin was made of extremely precious purple nanmu, but this coffin looked like boxwood.

From this point, it can also be seen that the owner of the tomb is still above the concubine who was buried for him.

Bai Yang was about to ask Tie Niu to close the coffin lid again, when he suddenly heard Hongxing shouting outside: "Sister Lingling, come and see!"

Bai Yang heard her call very urgently, and hurriedly went out of the side tomb with Tie Niu, and saw that Hongxing was standing in front of a mural, and Ding Lingling had already walked to Hongxing's side.

"What did Hongxing find?" asked Ding Lingling.

Hong Xing pointed to the mural and said, "Sister Lingling, look, this picture doesn't look like the big wooden coffin painted in it?"

While she was talking, Poplar Iron Bull also walked up to the mural to take a closer look.

But I saw that the painting first drew a frame with black lines that was square at the bottom, but bulging like a beam at the top. Inside the frame is a much smaller black pattern, but similar in shape to the orthodox coffin.

And between the large black frame and the black coffin, there are many chaotic vertical and horizontal black lines, I don't know what meaning they symbolize.

"This is indeed like the pattern of this big wooden coffin!" Ding Lingling spoke first, "And this black pattern inside may be the real coffin." ”

As she spoke, she pointed back at the huge palace-like wooden coffin.

"So this huge wooden structure may not be an outer coffin, but a small wooden palace specially made for the coffin!"

"I agree with Lingling!" Chen Xiaopang also walked over, nodding his head in approval first, but he quickly asked again, "But what do these black lines mean?"

Several people were unable to answer for a while.

While pondering, Poplar said, "Could it be a warning to us that once we open the outside strongly...... The wooden palace that Lingling said will also destroy the real coffin inside?"

"It's very possible!" Ding Lingling nodded immediately, "Maybe these black lines are connected to the real coffin inside, once the coffin outside is forcefully opened, it will naturally tear the coffin inside!"

Her words made several people look at each other.

Tie Niu opened his mouth and asked, "Then let's leave it alone, and wait for the experts to come later?"

Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang didn't speak, but waited for Baiyang to make a decision.

Bai Yang thought for a moment and said, "I think that if this picture really depicts the interior of this wooden palace, then we should look for the mechanism." Because...... The wooden palace must have been built first, and then the tomb could be built to put these lines in it......"

Bai Yang's words were not finished yet, but Tie Niu had already understood, and couldn't help but rush to say: "Yes, if the people inside want to come out, they must dig another passage from the bottom, and the descendants of the tomb owner will never be able to block a few craftsmen inside, so that these lowly people can stay in the palace to accompany their ancestors!"

Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang nodded again and again, but Hongxing said, "But what if the meaning of these black lines is not as we guessed?"

"So let's find out where the agency is! Anyway, we've been looking for the agency before, so let's keep moving!" Ding Lingling said.

A few people have no opinion. Chen Xiaopang still went to check the small wooden palace, but Ding Lingling and the poplar and red apricots surveyed around the small palace.

The Iron Bull followed them around for a while, but he was impatient, so he ran to another side chamber to investigate.

But he didn't expect that not long after he entered, he screamed inside.
