Looking at the bronze tripod placed in the middle of the tomb, my eyes were a little straight, because this bronze tripod was too big.

The four legs of the bronze tripod alone are about the height of a person's waist, and the height of the tripod body above is almost full of feet, and they are about to reach the top of the tomb.

On the front of the bronze tripod, there are dense inscriptions, and I don't know whether it is used to record the merits of the tomb owner or something else.

"Xiao Yan, what is the coffin, have you seen it before?" I asked Li Huiyan.

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but when I heard an old colleague of my grandfather mention the coffin, I always thought that this kind of thing didn't exist, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see it again today." After a long while, Li Huiyan finally came back to her senses and said.

It can be seen that such a thing as a coffin must be extremely rare, and no one has even seen it with their own eyes.

Otherwise, with Li Huiyan's extensive knowledge, she would not have shown such a surprised expression.

"And what is it for?" I asked Li Huiyan again. Although I already had a guess in my heart when I heard the name of the coffin, I chose to ask Li Huiyan for the sake of insurance, maybe it was different from what I imagined.

"The coffin is a very special coffin, and its use is no different from ordinary coffins, which are used to hold the remains of the deceased." Li Huiyan said.

"That's true, but since it's used to place the remains of the dead, why do you want to make it look like this, such an appearance and use seem to be a little unreasonable in ancient times, right?" I said.

In ancient times, the tripod was a ritual vessel, which was generally used when sacrificing ancestors or gods, and it was used to hold the remains of the deceased like this, which has never been heard of.

"It's because it's unreasonable, so I never believed in the existence of a coffin before." Li Huiyan said.

"However, this coffin tripod does not seem to be much different from the ordinary tripod, and the appearance is the same, and I don't know what the intention of the person who used the coffin tripod to decorate the deceased was." I said with some puzzlement.

"It's different, the appearance is the same, but the tripod doesn't have a tripod cover, but the coffin tripod does. As for why there is such a thing as a coffin, there is no record in history, and it is almost impossible to find it in all dynasties. Li Huiyan said.

"I have a guess that the appearance of the coffin is also related to ancient sacrifices. I heard that in some dynasties before the pre-Qin period, emperors and nobles would use slaves as the best when they sacrificed to heaven and earth, and those who were killed were often thrown into the tripod, perhaps this is the origin of the coffin tripod. I thought about it and said again.

It's not like I'm talking nonsense about human sacrifice, because it happened in history, and it was a very common imagination in the pre-Qin period.

Because before the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, those dynasties were still in a slave society, and slaves were like cattle in the eyes of those slave owners, almost the same as cattle, sheep and horses.

Slave owners could not only kill slaves at will, but also trade them for trade, let alone sacrifice them to their ancestors and gods.

"Your guess is very clear, but after all, it is something that has been submerged in the dust of history, and it is useless to think too much about it." Li Huiyan said.

"That's right, since even you are surprised by such a thing as a coffin, then we can't miss this meeting, we have to take a closer look." I said.

Li Huiyan nodded, obviously having this idea for a long time. Coffin Ding Coffin Ding, as the name suggests, is to use Ding as a coffin, but it is different from ordinary Ding, and a coffin lid is added to it.

After saying that, we walked into the burial chamber. The length and width of this burial chamber are about four zhang, and there are many murals painted on the stone walls on all sides.

It's just that at this moment, all of us were attracted by the coffin in the middle of the tomb, and naturally no one had the heart to look at the murals on the stone wall anymore.

"Xiao Yan, you said that this coffin should not have been poured in the ancient tomb, such a big and heavy thing, it is almost impossible to move it in from the outside." I said to Li Huiyan.

"Not necessarily, don't forget what kind of tomb we are in now, if you start building the tomb from the lowest floor, it is not impossible to move the coffin in when this tomb is built." Li Huiyan said.

At this time, I suddenly thought of the murals I had seen before, and I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Judging from the murals we saw before, there was no coffin on it, could it be that the coffin was not one of the nine lives of the tomb owner?

I told Li Huiyan what was in my heart, and Li Huiyan also felt a little puzzled after hearing it, and lowered her head as if she was thinking about something.

"It's normal, after carrying people into the ancient tomb, you can't just put them in here, and you don't say that you can't change places." Xiao Yue said.

"Now it is estimated that there is only one explanation, if the coffin is not used to decorate the funeral companions, it is obviously unlikely. After all, it takes a lot of energy just to make such a coffin, and it should not be done just for general use. Li Huiyan said.

I nodded, didn't say anything more, and carefully observed the coffin. I thought it was too far away, and although I found that there were dense inscriptions on the surface of the coffin, I couldn't tell what was engraved on it, and now I finally had the opportunity to observe it carefully.

After looking at it for a moment, I couldn't help but frown a little. The inscriptions on the surface of the coffin are neither about the exploits of the tomb owner during his lifetime, nor are they the Taoist scriptures we have seen before, but if I have to say, some of them are like the sacrifices recited during the worship of ancestors and gods in ancient times.

After looking at the front, I turned to the other side of the coffin to observe. After a while, when I looked at all four sides of the coffin, I had a rough idea in my heart.

The front and back sides of the coffin are engraved with the sacrificial texts that need to be read aloud during the sacrifice, and the left and right sides are cast with some auspicious patterns, such as the auspicious cloud patterns we have seen before and some rui beasts and the like.

"Sister Xiaoyan, is there really a corpse in this coffin?" Dong Shuang asked on the side.

"Probably there is, since the coffin is already in the burial chamber, there is no reason to leave it empty. However, to enjoy such treatment, there is really no one with a low status who is the owner of the tomb, which is really puzzling. Li Huiyan replied.

But judging from the appearance, the coffin tripod naturally cannot be compared with the ghost-faced white jade coffin and colorful glazed coffin we saw before, but if we talk about the degree of preciousness and value, the coffin in front of us must be deeper.

Bronze is made of metal, and the value of such a thing is incalculable in itself, let alone so well preserved.

From the bottom of my heart, I really wanted to see what was inside the coffin, but as soon as I saw the height of the coffin, I was a little discouraged.

The height of the coffin is about one zhang, and it is not so easy to climb up, not to mention that Li Huiyan said that there is a coffin lid on top of the coffin, and most of the people who go up can not open it.

"Do you want to climb up and see what's inside the coffin?" Li Huiyan asked me.

"Well, but it seems a bit difficult, so if you can't do it, forget it." I said. It's not surprising that Li Huiyan can guess my thoughts, it is estimated that everyone in the tomb now has more or less such thoughts, but they are just hidden in their hearts and not spoken.

"It's not difficult to climb the coffin, but we're not sure if there's any danger on the coffin yet, so let's wait until we understand this tomb clearly before trying." Li Huiyan said.

"You mean to look at the murals on the stone walls first?" I asked.

"Well, the murals in the tomb are the best means for us to understand the owner of the tomb, and those murals will not be painted for no reason, they will definitely have some connection with this tomb more or less, maybe we can know what is inside the coffin as long as we see the content of the mural." Li Huiyan nodded and said.

"Alright then, let's take a look at the mural first." Said.

"I want to see the mural again, it's so boring, I don't want to see it." Xiao Yue complained on the side.

"No one told you to see it, just stay aside and rest, and don't touch the things in the tomb and cause us trouble." I said.

According to our past experience, the owner of the tomb will definitely set up an anti-theft mechanism in the tomb, and we have only just entered the tomb not long ago, so it is naturally better to be cautious, so as not to cause any big trouble for no reason.

Except for Xiao Yue, the others were obviously not interested in the contents of the murals on the walls around the tomb, and they all stood there without any intention of observing.

In desperation, I had to go with Li Huiyan to observe the stone wall, secretly praying for something to be gained.

Li Huiyan and I first chose a mural on the left side of the tomb, and I was stunned when I saw the mural, because a scene in the mural made me feel a little dumbfounded.

This mural depicts the scene of the burial, and the coffin in the middle of the mural is depicted in the middle of the tomb.

"Xiao Yan, I'm not mistaken, that person seems to be holding a king bastard in his hand?" I said to Li Huiyan.

"You read that right, but it's a turtle, not a king." Hearing this, Li Huiyan glanced at me and said.

"Aren't all turtle kings the same, as long as you know what it is." I said. In the third part of the mural, someone actually held a Wang Ba and threw it into the coffin, while the fourth part of the mural did not see anyone take out Wang Ba, it seems that the Wang Ba and the body of the undertaker were sealed in the coffin together.

"Xiao Yan, it is said that the thousand-year-old king is eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, do you think there will be a living king in this coffin?" I withdrew my gaze and asked Li Huiyan.
