When they went back the next morning, the scaffolding had been erected after they had worked overtime. After Professor Chen looked around the scaffolding, he climbed up with Zhang Gong, Feng Weiguo, Chen Zhijun and Ma Kai.

After reaching the top of the stone pillar, the five of them squatted down around the center. When Ma Kai carefully cleaned the moss on the outside of the metal coffin, the shape of the whole coffin was revealed: the green round coffin had five dragons in relief, and the five stout dragons did not have their tails, only their front paws were exposed, and they were intertwined with each other and turned their heads in five directions.

"Five Dragons Coffin!" Zhang Gong glanced at it and shouted in surprise: "Lao Chen, it's developed!" The five dragon coffin protectors will be noble! ”

Feng Weiguo saw that Zhang Gong was so excited, and after hearing him talk about the five dragons protecting the coffin, he asked: "I have heard of several dragons carrying the coffin, how can this be the coffin?" Also, Aren't dragons just for emperors? How is this also available? ”

Foreman Zhang did not look back at the green copper coffin with a magnifying glass and replied: "The dragon carrying the coffin is the meaning of yearning for ascension, the dragon is indeed exclusive to the emperor in some dynasties, but not absolutely, but there is a limit to a few dragons, the statement of the Nine Dragons Supreme Eight Dragon Kings is also based on, the python robe of the Ming and Qing dynasties can also show that the dragon is not exclusive to the emperor, but the dragon is four claws, and it does not belong to the official uniform sequence, although the dragon is not only exclusive to the emperor, but whether it is a living person or a dead person, In addition to the emperor's special approval or reward, it is not possible to use dragon-shaped things casually, and the dead will also be strictly implemented according to the funeral system at that time, it can be said that the dragon-shaped coffin is also a level description of a specific dynasty, and the round bronze coffin here, with five dragons on it, on the one hand, is his official position at the same time, but also shows his special identity at that time, may really be stained with his Lao Tzu's light, but if not, then the identity of the person here is interesting. ”

"So now it's time to verify their paternity? If not, it means that this was once a vassal king or something? ”

"Yes, in the Han Dynasty, there should have been funeral habits such as murals, and they were not found in the general's tomb in the back, but he wrote a lot of things in the dark room and left us with them, and there was no mention of this in it, indicating that this may not have much to do with him; So far, we have not found any reference value such as murals, and now we can only hope that there are other accidental discoveries. ”

Zhang Gong looked at the coffin carefully for a long time and then said to Professor Chen: "Old Chen, let's build a tripod on this, and hang this with a chain hoist, this dragon pattern can be determined to be from the Han Dynasty, but now I have been completely messed up, how can the dragon coffin be here." ”

Professor Chen, who has been carefully distinguishing the dragon pattern on the side, has actually discovered that this bronze coffin is not something that ordinary officials can use, and when he heard Zhang Gong mention the chaos, he smiled and said: "Lao Zhang, don't mess with this first, this should be beyond your assumptions, and the top priority is to give this coffin." ”

When Chen Zhijun heard the coffin, he interjected and said: "This tripod can't hang this copper coffin, this must not be light!" It was necessary to build another scaffold on the side to put this down, or to use the hole in the top to hang it from the outside with a wire rope with a winch, and there was a large open space below. ”

Zhang Gong looked at the hole under the stone pillar and on the top and agreed with Chen Zhijun's suggestion, so he immediately divided into two ways: one fixed the winch outside the hole to connect the cable, and the other made a tripod on the top of the stone pillar to install the chain hoist.

In more than an hour of tension, all the work was prepared, and after Lao Ma and several of them cleaned up the narrow gaps around the copper coffin, three large hanging lugs appeared on the copper coffin. Zhang Gong saw that there was no problem, so he asked the old horse to hook the three lifting lugs with hooks, and then adjusted the force balance of the lower three hooks, and the copper coffin was slowly hung up in the "click" sound of the chain hoist. But the bronze coffins were all hoisted out of one meter and three, and they were almost to the top of the hanger, and they still didn't see where they were. Looking at the slightly deformed steel pipe pressed against the stone pillar, Professor Chen said, "Lao Zhang, put it down first, this may be a coffin." ”

Zhang Gong, who was concentrating on the relief on the bronze coffin, opened his mouth in surprise and said: "This is the dragon's eye acupoint, is this the 'finishing touch'?" That is to say, this is not the son of the general behind him at all, but the son of an emperor at that time? ”

Professor Chen did not approve or deny it, and said: "Put down this coffin first, and then re-raise and reinforce the bracket, otherwise it will break if it falls." ”

After putting down the bronze coffin, Professor Chen said to Feng Weiguo, who had been silent, "Director Feng, what do you think about this?" ”

Feng Weiguo never thought that Professor Chen would ask himself, let alone what the coffin looked like, and suddenly heard Professor Chen talking to him, and replied in a stunned manner: "I don't understand the coffin, now I just feel that this is a little incomprehensible, if this is a certain son of the emperor, then everything is reasonable, but a new question has come out, so how can there be a hint here in the general's tomb behind?" For the emperor's son, this tomb is too simple, but for the officials, this dragon coffin is a luxury, and there is another point, that is, the treasure map found a sketch in the general's tomb, and a golden dragon was found here, indicating that this place should have been built first, and the general's tomb was built later, so why is this, the general didn't tell us, and no information was found here, so I think I'm a little messy. ”

Professor Chen nodded in approval and said: "Director Feng, your views are very thorough, I am also a little puzzled, why is this, if this is not the tomb of the father and son, that is, the burial here may be the son of a certain emperor, then it can be said that this is to let the general guard the tomb for this generation, or they have special emotions, plus the two feng shui are so good, this assumption is also said in the past, but what is going on with this feng shui bureau, coincidence or the general deliberately arranged, I don't know for the time being. ”

"Well, I think this is the general's single-handedly run, it should be his participation or he is responsible for the construction, so when he does the feng shui bureau, he also leaves the secret of the treasure map, so everything here can be understood, that is to say, this is very likely to be the son of a certain emperor, in that case, it is also consistent with Zhang Gong's prediction, but the relationship between the characters has changed."

After Zhang Gong re-examined the bronze coffin, he came to Professor Chen and said: "Don't guess, this burial is definitely not the son of the general behind, this guy is definitely older than the general behind, but he must have died early, the pattern on the copper coffin just now was rough, and he vaguely looked at some information, it should be the descendants of an emperor in the Western Han Dynasty, it is estimated that it is a character problem, and he did not get a special weight, so he died of depression." ”

Chen Zhijun felt that Zhang Gong was a bit forceful, so he asked: "Uncle, didn't you say earlier that he died before he was 50?" And it was still degraded, how can it be said that the descendants of the emperor are still degraded now? Why did it all end up depressed? ”

Zhang Gongbai glanced at Chen Zhijun and said: "There is no harm in learning a little bit, the descendants of the emperor, even if they have a better personal character, they can't get used to their own father, and they were favored by the Ming Jun at that time after the change of dynasty, but it doesn't mean that he is still a prince, he is already an ordinary person, naturally he will not be a vassal king or anything, it is not normal to be degraded by someone after the energy on his body is released?" Which dynasty didn't have anything bad? He may have been afraid of being framed. ”
