When the coffin was opened, everyone was stunned, and their eyes looked at the coffin in a daze.

No one thought that the words that Xiao Yue had been chanting would come true, and there was really a golden jade robe in this golden silk nanmu coffin.

Li Huiyan and I already knew the details of this golden silk nanmu coffin, and if it was unexpected, it should only be the burial companion of the owner of the tomb, so we didn't think that there would be a golden jade robe in it at first.

After all, the golden jade clothes are a symbol of status, and the owner of the tomb is the prince and king of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is normal to use the golden jade clothes to decorate the body, but now a funeral companion also has such treatment, which is a little incredible.

Could it be that the owner of the tomb really dared to risk killing his head and do such a taboo thing?

"Sister Lizi, I'm not mistaken, is this really a golden jade robe?" Xiao Yue said to Li Huiyan very excitedly, even she couldn't believe that all this in front of her was true.

"It's a golden jade robe, yes, and it's still quite well preserved." Li Huiyan also said with some excitement.

On weekdays, we can only see the golden jade clothes in the museum, and all of them are restored and presented to the public.

"Wow, that's great, it's really a golden jade dress." After receiving Li Huiyan's affirmative answer, Xiao Yue shouted excitedly, and was about to reach out to the coffin to grab the golden jade clothes.

"Xiao Yue, don't move yet, this golden jade robe is not as strong as it was back then, be careful not to break it." Seeing this, Li Huiyan hurriedly stopped Xiao Yue and said.

"What are you afraid of, if you break it, you will break it, anyway, this is what we found." Xiao Yue said nonchalantly.

"I haven't seen the world, just a golden jade dress can make you happy like this." Just as Xiao Yue stretched out his hand to the coffin again, He Zitong's mocking voice sounded on the side.

"If you want to take care of it, you yourself were about to stare out of your eyes just now." Xiao Yue immediately replied.

"That's better than you, it's like I've never seen a golden jade cloth in eight lifetimes." He Zitong said.

"I'm willing, what can you do, want you to be nosy?" Xiao Yue also said without concessions.

For a while, these two rivals began to quarrel again, which made me and Li Huiyan both breathe a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for He Zitong's sudden interjection, it is estimated that Xiao Yue would really have to move the golden jade clothes in the coffin, which is definitely not a good thing for us.

Taking advantage of the time when Xiao Yue and He Zitong were arguing, I finally had time to take a closer look at the golden jade robe in the coffin.

Just like the golden jade clothes I saw on TV and in museums before, the golden jade clothes in the coffin are also made of countless large and small jade pieces, and each jade piece is very uniform in size, about an inch in length.

At the four corners of each jade piece, ten small circular holes are polished, each of which is connected by gold wires to form a complete golden jade robe.

The jade pieces used to make the golden jade clothes are mainly white jade, and only the head is green jade.

Perhaps because of the age, the white jade has turned a little yellow, but the color of the green jade is deeper and more restrained, turning into dark green.

Since the coffin was intact and the tomb was not damaged in any way, the golden jade clothes were almost not damaged in any way, and they were completely displayed in front of us.

Except for some places where the body of the coffin owner may be dented due to decomposition, the entire golden jade robe is extremely complete, and such things can be said to be extremely rare in archaeological history.

Ancient emperors and nobles believed that jade could chill the corpse, and believed that using jade pieces to make clothes and burying the deceased together could make the corpse incorruptible for thousands of years, which is also the origin of the golden jade clothes.

Strictly speaking, the jade clothes box is also a very strict hierarchy, which is gold-threaded jade clothing, silver jade clothing and copper jade clothing.

The highest level of talent is called the golden jade robe, which is made of jade pieces and gold threads, and is used by members of the royal family and some princely and close ministers.

As for the silver jade clothes, they can only be used by senior officials who have been specially approved by the emperor.

Relatively speaking, the restrictions of copper jade clothes are relatively small, and ordinary officials can use them, but because the production process of jade clothes is extremely troublesome and expensive, few people will use them.

The jade clothes in the golden silk nanmu coffin in front of me are connected with gold wires, and they are genuine golden jade clothes.

"It's the first time I've seen such a well-preserved golden jade robe, and I'm afraid it's the first time the archaeological community has found it." I said with some emotion.

This is not a big deal, it is indeed because the golden jade clothes are too rare.

Although a lot of gold-threaded jade clothes have been unearthed in the past, all of them are fragmented, and they are almost piece-by-piece after the jade pieces are cleaned out and put back together, which is what we see in the museum.

In ancient times, jade tablets could not be used by ordinary people, and once discovered, it was a felony to kill the head.

Therefore, even if the tomb robbers of all dynasties found expensive golden jade clothes in the ancient tomb, they would never dare to take them all out of the ancient tomb, but only took away the gold threads that connected the jade pieces and took them away, leaving countless jade pieces scattered in the coffin.

"It's quite rare, and as far as I know, this should be the first complete golden jade robe." Li Huiyan nodded and said.

But the more this happened, the more doubts I had in my heart. In a coffin that is just placed in the coffin of the mourner, why there is such a golden jade robe that can only be used by emperors and nobles, it is really contrary to common sense.

If we find a silver jade robe or a copper jade robe in this coffin, this is reasonable, after all, the owner of the tomb is a prince and king of the powerful side, this kind of favor can still be asked, and the golden jade robe is really a little puzzling.

"Xiao Yan, do you think it could be that my previous guess was wrong, maybe this pair of golden silk nan wooden coffins is really the owner of the tomb?" I said to Li Huiyan.

"To be honest, I'm a little confused too." Li Huiyan said.

If the owner of the corpse shrouded in the golden jade clothes is really just a burial companion, this is completely beyond our previous cognition, and the golden silk nanmu and golden jade clothes used by the emperor and nobles are used on a funeral person, which is really incomprehensible.

"Let's take a look first, it's okay if we really don't understand it, what we have to do now is to leave the tomb as soon as possible." I said.

Although the golden jade clothes are precious, they are far less expensive than their own lives.

At this time, the quarrel between Xiao Yue and He Zitong also came to an end, ending with no winner or loser.

As soon as he closed his mouth, Xiao Yue ran back to the coffin again, his whole face smiling, as if what had happened just now had not happened.

"Sister Lizi, I heard what you said to the rice cake just now, if you have any doubts, just take out this golden jade clothes and take a look, maybe you can find it." Xiao Yue stared at the golden jade clothes in the coffin with bright eyes, and said to Li Huiyan at the same time.

"That's not good, after so many years, the golden jade clothes must have become fragile a long time ago, and if we take the liberty of moving it, it is very likely to cause damage to it." Li Huiyan said with some hesitation.

It can be seen that Li Huiyan is a little tempted by Xiao Yue's proposal, if we can really find any valuable information in the coffin, it may be helpful for our next actions.

"It's so easy to destroy, it hasn't broken for more than a thousand years, at most we should be careful when we move." Xiao Yue saw that Li Huiyan seemed to be a little tempted, and hurriedly said again.

"Okay, but things have to be said first, if you find that the golden jade clothes show signs of loosening and destruction, you must immediately abandon this practice." Li Huiyan finally nodded and said.

"Understood." Xiao Yue immediately saluted and said.

I don't quite understand what Li Huiyan thinks in her heart, just now she didn't agree to let Xiao Yue move the golden jade clothes, why was she relieved in a blink of an eye, did she also want to see if there was any secret hidden in this coffin?

"Xiao Yan, why are you ......," I asked Li Huiyan in a whisper.

"It's nothing, in fact, after thinking about it carefully, I also think that Xiao Yue's words have some truth. We came here by chance, maybe it was the will of God, this kind of thing is rare, if we miss this time, maybe we will never have the opportunity to touch it so closely. Li Huiyan said.

"That's true, but I don't think it's good. The deceased is big, and the earth is safe, and it is already taboo to open the coffin rashly, and if the body of the deceased is moved again, it is really disrespectful. I said, still with some concern.

If it was before, I wouldn't have had so many worries, the coffin would be opened when it was opened, and the golden jade clothes would be taken out, and I wouldn't care about anything at all.

But after all the strange events in the White Tomb, I began to feel a sense of awe for everything in the tomb, and I was always worried that our excesses would lead to something unexpected.

"I understand your concerns, but since we're here to archaeology inside the tomb, these things can't be avoided. The so-called archaeology is actually a thousand-year dialogue between the living and the dead, and we can only talk to the owner of the tomb through the burial goods in the ancient tomb, so as to know those unknown histories. Li Huiyan said again.

Hearing this, I was powerless to refute it, Li Huiyan was indeed very honest. Since I studied archaeology, it is inevitable that I will experience such things, which is an inevitability and a responsibility at the same time.

The responsibility of archaeologists is not to find those exquisite and priceless funerary objects, but to find out those histories that have long been annihilated in the loess and present them to everyone.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the golden silk nanmu coffin in front of us, there are too many puzzling places.

Why the golden silk nanmu coffin and the golden jade clothes dedicated to the emperor and nobles are used on an ordinary funeral person, and why this kind of unreasonable thing happens, we can only find the answer from the coffin.
