Chapter 51: Preparing to open the coffin

As large and small equipment entered the temple one after another, a new round of intense work was about to begin. After Lao Ma and a group of people reinforced and sealed the large artifacts in the ear chamber, all these large cultural relics were moved to the center of the underworld, and the empty ear chamber made room for the burial goods that might appear in the main burial chamber in advance. After carefully checking all the artifacts, Professor Chen made simple arrangements for the upcoming work to a few people around him, and then made a brief communication with several armed police officers and policemen, and all the orderly busyness showed that they were ready to enter the main tomb.

"Now I will say a few words," Professor Chen said loudly in front of everyone after making various arrangements: "We will be ready to enter the main tomb in a while, and I will say a few words to you before entering the main tomb, 1. There are very likely treasures in the main tomb, I hope you can calm down and don't overreact; 2. Although there are few organs in the main tomb, it is not difficult to see from the suicide note of the owner of the tomb in the bamboo slips in the dark room that there must be a mystery in this tomb, so don't move around until the main tomb is not detected, I hope everyone is responsible for their own lives and teammates; 3. Except outside the main tombroom, the backrooms are now absolutely not allowed to enter, and what is inside is now unknown; 4. Now look at the cultural relics here are intact, so the preliminary judgment of the coffin in the coffin may also be well preserved, open the coffin will definitely need manpower, participants we do not force, voluntary participation, willing to participate please raise your hand. ”

In the wait-and-see that you look at me and I look at you, Feng Weiguo sighed and whispered to Professor Chen: "None of them have done this, and they don't have the guts, if they can't do it, let the people on the construction site go up, and I will coordinate the salary." ”

Professor Chen nodded in approval and said: "It's no way, many people are boycotting those, I'll let Zhijun coordinate the people on the construction site, they should be much bolder, and they will have a lot less scruples." ”

"Okay, then trouble Professor Chen and Mr. Chen, I'll check the tools again, and don't have problems when I use them later."

When Zhang Gong and Ma Kai were conducting a hidden space exploration of the main tomb, Chen Zhijun also transferred the old horses and a few of them, and after some explanation, the main tomb was already brightly lit, and the preparations before the coffin was opened.

In the focus of the TV camera, Professor Chen and others entered the main burial chamber in turn. In the center of the main chamber are two red coffins, with 15 red chests on each side, neatly stacked, with an entrance to the Backrooms at the ends of each side on the left and right.

In front of the two huge coffins, Professor Chen stopped. The two red coffins in front of me are both stone, carved from a single stone, and the exterior is covered with red paint, which sparkles in the light, and the top of the coffin is carved with a circle of regular diamond patterns. The coffin on the left, the middle part of the left side is carved with the scene of the expedition, a long-bearded general wearing armor and holding a sword on a horse, at the front of the procession, galloping forward; The carved scene in the middle of the right side is the scene of the two armies facing each other, and in the chaotic battle, the ground is covered with corpses. The style of the coffin on the right is the opposite of that on the left, with the same diamond pattern on the upper side, and the carved scenes on the left and right sides are all flowers and plants. Judging from the carving on the coffin, Professor Chen judged that this was a husband and wife tomb, with the general's on the left and his wife's on the right.

Professor Chen looked at the people behind him, their eyes were different, some were excited, some couldn't see through, and some were evasive, Professor Chen looked at the two armed policemen standing at the entrance of the main tomb, cleared his throat and said: "Master of the camera, please put the machine on the left side of the coffin, try to give them more space to work, Master Ma, please also prepare the personnel, we will prepare the coffin later!" ”

Feng Weiguo, who was standing beside him, asked softly after hearing the instruction to open the coffin: "Professor Chen, didn't you say that there would be a big gift in front of his coffin, what is the way to say it?" ”

"Just now Zhang Gong detected an underground space in front of the coffin on the left, it's not big, it should be a mechanism, it should be to open the function that the tomb owner said, and make a formal salute there before the coffin is officially opened."

"Is it the one on the left? Was it a formal worship in the Han Dynasty? I'll do that. ”

"Okay, according to the Han Dynasty salute, you try, that is, the three stone slabs on the left facing the coffin, you stand on the back one, and then put your knees on the second one, and then put your palms on the third one, the order is not wrong."

After listening to Professor Chen's explanation, Feng Weiguo walked to the corresponding stone slab in front of the coffin on the left, looked at the coffin in front of him with a serious expression, slowly bowed first, then landed on both knees, just put his knees on the second slate, and then reached out with both hands to the ground, put his hand on the third slate, and then put his forehead on his hand, then raised his head and straightened his waist, and at the same time flattened his hand to his brow, and then got up to complete the whole action.

After the prostration, seeing that there was no movement around him, Feng Weiguo looked at Professor Chen and was about to salute again, when there was a big movement above his head: in the sound of "bang-la-la" iron chains, a stone slab about 1.8 meters long and 80 centimeters wide that was hung by four iron chains slowly descended from above his head, and three small copper boxes with slight rust were placed on them.

Feng Weiguo looked at the three copper boxes in front of him and asked Professor Chen, "Professor Chen, these three boxes may be the gifts that the tomb owner said in the dark room, how do we proceed now?" ”

Professor Chen smiled and said: "This must be a meeting gift from the owner of the tomb, don't worry, take a box and put it first, and then study it after we open this coffin." ”

"From now on, everyone should wear masks," after speaking to everyone, Professor Chen then said to Lao Ma: "Lao Ma, please ask a few of you to remove the lid of this coffin on the right, this is a stone, a bit heavy, you should pay attention, try not to make any wear and tear." ”

The old horse shouted "yes" and waved his hand back to greet a few helpers, and after the personnel were in place, they put their hands on the coffin, and shouted at the same time: "One", "two", "three", "up!" But the lid on the coffin did not move in the midst of their efforts. The old horse looked at the gap in the coffin and said, "Professor, this is covered, and it can't be moved, you need to use a crowbar, otherwise it can't be opened, is it okay?" ”

"Yes, you should pay attention not to destroy it anywhere, be careful!"

"Gotcha!"

Under the effect of the crowbar, a small gap appeared in the lid on the coffin, and Professor Wang saw that they were still about to continue prying, so he quickly stopped and said, "Wait, I'll do the gas analysis first." ”

After speaking, Professor Wang hurriedly tested the gas inside the coffin with an electrochemical gas detector, and then extracted the gas inside into a vacuum bottle.

Seeing that Professor Wang had finished his work, Lao Ma and the others moved the lid of the coffin to the side in one go, and Professor Chen and the others, who were watching from the side, shouted at the same time almost at the moment when the lid of the coffin was removed: "Desolate! ”
