Chapter 154: Opening the coffin

"Professor, are you okay?" Wang Yu squatted in front of him and asked.

"Hmm......" Professor Wu nodded, he wanted to ask something, but he still didn't open his mouth after all.

"Professor, Li Hong and Zhou An'an have gone to another world." Although he knew that it was cruel, Wang Yu still told him, after all, this is an unavoidable question.

"I hurt them! I shouldn't have let them participate in this archaeological expedition......" Professor Wu was no longer so excited, but still very sad, his eyes were full of tears, making the old man look as if he had suddenly aged by more than ten years.

"Professor Wu, this is none of your business, you don't need to blame yourself." Xiaolong comforted.

"Yes, we all volunteered to join this archaeology, and before that, we were mentally prepared and knew that there would be danger." Fat brother said.

"Professor, as long as we can complete the research and lift the veil of mystery of the Yemu Dynasty, I think Qiu Lu, Li Hong, and Zhou An'an will definitely be relieved by their spirits in the sky." Tang Tang said.

Professor Wu stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, looked at the three students in front of him, and said resolutely: "Let's go back now!" This archaeological operation, this is the end of it! No matter how important academic discoveries are, they can't compare to your lives, and I don't want to see any of you have an accident again! ”

However, the three of them all lowered their heads in unison, avoiding Professor Wu's gaze.

Professor Wu was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why is it this expression? ”

Wang Yu sighed and told the truth: "Professor...... We can't turn back now. ”

Professor Wu was shocked: "Xiao Wang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Liu Zihang interjected: "Because just now when you were unconscious, this tomb collapsed, and the way out has been blocked by a boulder." Even if there is an excavator, it will take half a day to clear the road, not to mention that we are now empty-handed and have no tools. ”

Professor Wu was stunned.

Wang Yu said: "Professor, I have a suggestion, we will open the coffin now......"

Before he finished his words, he was vetoed by Professor Wu: "This is absolutely not good!" ”

Liu Zihang immediately sang and said in harmony with Wang Yu: "My old professor, you have studied the Yemu Dynasty all your life, and now the coffins of the Yemu Emperor and Empress are placed in front of you, don't you want to open it and take a look?" ”

"Yes! Of course I want to! I've been dreaming about this day! ”

Professor Wu didn't hide himself, but he suddenly changed his words and said, "But if I open the coffin now, in case of irreversible damage to the cultural relics inside, then wouldn't I become a sinner in history?" ”

Wang Yu said: "Professor, now that all of us are trapped here, maybe there are other clues to the exit in the coffin?" ”

Professor Wu stopped talking, as if he was caught in a fierce ideological struggle.

Wang Yu continued: "Even if you don't think about yourself, what about these students of yours? Are they always innocent? Can you just bear to watch them get trapped here one by one and starve to death? ”

Liu Zihang said helpfully: "Professor, to put it mildly, you have lived so old, you have the honorary social status you deserve, you have no regrets in this life, but we are still so young, we really don't want to die......"

"Don't talk about it!"

Professor Wu gritted his teeth: "Open the coffin!" ”

Wang Yu and Liu Zihang glanced at each other, each other's eyes were full of joy, and they finally succeeded in convincing this stubborn old man.

The group moved to the coffin.

Liu Zihang picked up the bronze ancient sword first and blew the dust on it.

Xiaolong asked, "Professor, these two coffins are exactly the same, which one shall we open first?" ”

Professor Wu said: "Start with the one on the left. ”

Xiaolong's hands are inconvenient, and Liu Zihang is disgusted with being too hairy, so the heavy responsibility of opening the coffin falls on Wang Yu and Fat Brother.

They first used professional tools to pry open a small corner, stuff a small movable steel column into it, and then work together to push the coffin lid open.

Wang Yu and the fat brother looked at each other, and said two words at the same time - "Empty!" ”

"How could it be empty?"

Professor Wu walked over, this was indeed an empty coffin, there was only a bright yellow dragon robe inside, and a lot of wood chips, without any traces of human bones.

It looks like this is supposed to be the coffin of the Yamu Emperor.

The emperor's coffin was empty, there were no white bones in it, only a dragon robe and wood slag, although it was very strange, but Wang Yu didn't care, as long as the coffin next to him was not empty.

"Wow, the textile technology of this Yemu Dynasty is really cash, the clothes from more than a thousand years ago are still like new...... "The fat brother let out a heartfelt sigh, he and everyone's focus are obviously not on the same channel.

Wang Yu urged: "Since this coffin is empty, then we will open another one." ”

"Don't be in a hurry...... There's text here! ”

Professor Wu was attracted by the ancient characters inside the coffin, and he immediately took out a magnifying glass and studied it carefully, but Wang Yu had to wait patiently.

After about an hour, Professor Wu looked up and said, "I finally know what's going on?" ”

Wang Yu asked curiously: "What is the content of those words?" ”

Professor Wu said: "This imperial tomb is the mausoleum of the second and penultimate emperor of the Yemu Dynasty. This is a young emperor, when he died, he was not yet twenty-five years old, and there were no heirs, because his younger brother inherited the throne, and it took more than ten years for the Yemu Dynasty to be completely annexed and exterminated by the Northern Qi. ”

Liu Zihang muttered: "There are only three emperors in total, and this Yemu Dynasty is indeed short-lived." ”

Wang Yu glared at him and motioned for him not to interject.

Professor Wu continued: "This young emperor died on the battlefield, his body was captured by the enemy, and finally he was cooked and eaten. ”

Historically, this kind of cannibalism was not uncommon, especially during the war years.

Wang Yu suddenly realized: "No wonder this emperor's coffin is empty, because this is a clothed mound." ”

Professor Wu nodded: "There should have been a wooden statue inside, but it is very old, and the wood has decayed, and only this dragon robe made of ice silk remains." ”

Wang Yu said, "Professor, we can open another coffin now." ”

Professor Wu said: "Open ...... Hopefully there's a clue to get out of here this time. ”

Wang Yu's mood became nervous, and he was about to push open the coffin of Queen Yemu, would the other side flower really be inside?

"One-two...... Three! ”

When he shouted three, he and the fat brother exerted force at the same time, and the coffin lid was slowly pushed open.

Wang Yu leaned over for the first time, and he saw it! He saw a brilliant flower! This flower is as red as fire, exuding a strange luster!

It was quietly born in the center of the coffin, shining brightly.

Wang Yu was deeply attracted by its beauty.

"This is the other side of the flower Manzhu Sahua ......"

After admiring enough, he raised his head, only to find that he didn't know when, the entire tomb was shrouded in a layer of flowing phantom Huaze.

What was even more surprising was that everyone but him was still in place.

Time seems to have stopped.

"What's going on?"

Wang Yu was shocked, could it be the magic of the flower on the other side?

He looked down again, this time, no longer attracted by the flowers alone, and finally looked at the other things in the coffin.

In this coffin, there is a woman.

This woman was wearing a mask and a red robe like fire, her hands were peacefully crossed around her waist, and her hands were wearing black gloves.

She was covered in her clothes, not an inch of her skin exposed.

Wang Yu was shocked at that time, this dress was too familiar, especially when he saw the pipa at her feet.

"It's her ......"

Wang Yu recognized that the queen of the night eyes in the coffin was the woman in red who appeared in the nightmare and saved him.

At that time, in the dream, Wang Yu didn't look at her face, and after waking up from the dream, he felt quite regretful, why did he retreat from the battle at the beginning and not be bold?

But now, he has this opportunity.

With a feeling of reverence and gratitude, he slowly lifted the mask.

A delicate and beautiful face slowly emerged.
