It stands to reason that a coffin, especially the coffin of such a prominent figure, has a particular style and texture.

Take this coffin as an example, the lid of the coffin is depicted with the pattern of the dragon soaring all over the world.

The front of the coffin plate is carved with a pattern of double dragons playing with pearls and auspicious clouds.

The head of the coffin is a pattern of the seal character "Shou", and the surrounding area is drawn with a gold thread cloisonné, which complements the golden water waves of the golden silk nanmu.

And the position that Lin Yi's hand touched, that is, the top of the coffin's head, the upturned position, turned out to be a metal buckle.

It is made of wrought copper, two fingers thick, and is tightly inserted into the coffin lid with two rivets around it, which looks like a pull ring.

Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately quickened his pace and came to the end of the coffin, and sure enough, there was also a wrought copper buckle inlaid at the end of the coffin.

The existence of these two copper rings made Lin Yi even more firm in his judgment just now.

Under normal circumstances, the coffin is tied with hemp rope, three horizontally and two vertically, and then passed through it with a wooden pole, so that the person carrying the coffin can lift it.

But this kind of appearance of putting iron rings on the head and tail of the coffin is extremely rare.

"Lao Lin, what's going on inside?"

Wang Qiang's voice came from the top of the coffin.

Lin Yi looked up and saw that he had already climbed down halfway, and hurried over to help catch him.

"I said, shouldn't you lose weight? Two hundred pounds is high, right? ”

"Minus, this one will be reduced when you go back, what's the matter, have you found anything?"

Lin Yi pointed to the copper rings at both ends of the head and tail.

"I suppose there may be a waterway down here, and this coffin was put in by a waterway, and a man stood on it, hooked his head and tail with an iron hook, tied a rope, and hoisted it in."

Wang Qiang reached out and touched the copper ring, probably making up the scene mentioned by Lin Yi.

"It seems to have a score!"

After speaking, he looked up and down, left and right, lowered his voice and said to Lin Yi:

"While there is no one now, why don't we open the lid of this old Wu's coffin and take a look?"

"What are you pondering? Don't think I didn't see it, Chen Yuanyuan's side of the table on the table of the set of study room all let you take away, that inkstone alone can be worth a lot of money, see it and take it! ”

"Did you see it all?"

"Nonsense! With your little bit of craftsmanship, you still want to hide it from me? ”

"Am I not following the teachings of my ancestors? Since we're here, we can't go back empty-handed, right? Besides, didn't you speculate that the fragment of 'Qingzhou Ding' might be in Lao Wu's tomb, didn't buddy come down to help you? ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that he had indeed speculated about the final fate of the fragment of "Qingzhou Ding" before.

They went to the tomb and didn't find what they were looking for.

But he helped Ah Chang recover their family's ancestral Danshu iron coupons.

This fragment was brought out of Sichuan by Li Dingguo, all the way to Yunnan and Guizhou, into Guanggui, and finally "Zhao'an" by Nanming, and the fragment naturally belonged to Zhu Youlang.

And Zhu Youlang finally died under Wu Sangui's bowstring, and his remaining property naturally fell into Wu Sangui's hands.

Therefore, the probability of finding this fragment in the tomb of Wu Sangui is extremely high.

When Lin Yi was still thinking about it, he saw that Wang Qiang had already pushed the coffin lid open a crack.

"Why did you open it?"

Wang Qiang looked at him innocently.

"It's not that I want to open it, and I'm not waiting for you to give orders, right? The hand pushed it along the coffin board to try the weight, and it opened. ”

He shouldn't have lied to anyone, if he wants to open the coffin, he must at least pull out the wedge that seals the coffin, in such a short time, it is impossible for Wang Qiang to find the wedge, and he can pull it out quietly.

"I see! It's Yang Jinqiao's ghost again, at the beginning, it must have wanted to use the 'corpse induction technique' to get Wu Sangui's body out of the coffin and vent evil anger for Chen Yuanyuan.

But the lid of this coffin was opened, and there was no trace of loosening of the coffin lid, indicating that the people inside were not summoned by the 'corpse induction technique'."

It's better to take advantage of the fact that Team Qiao hasn't come in yet, just open it and take a look.

"Raise the coffin and make a fortune! Open! ”

"Okay!"

The two stood at the end of the coffin, exerting their strength together, and the coffin board was pushed away by the two of them.

The two covered their mouths and noses and looked in.

A dried corpse wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown was lying in the middle with its back facing the sky.

Looking at this outfit, it must be that Emperor Wu Zhou, Wu Sangui, did not run away.

Wang Qiang's eyes were completely attracted by the more than a dozen boxes of different sizes placed beside him.

Lin Yi noticed that under the sleeves of his robe and his hands, there seemed to be something hidden.

Picking up the sapper shovel, an object tightly wrapped in bright yellow satin came into view.

At this moment, Lin Yi only felt a burning pain in his back, as if someone was suddenly stabbed with a tattoo gun.

This feeling appeared once when he found Qingzhou Ding last time.

Now that this strong feeling has reappeared, it proves that he really got it right this time!

"Consultant Lin, Qiangzi, what's going on inside?"

Hearing the voice of Team Qiao's approaching, Lin Yi endured the pain, was in a hurry, threw out the flying tiger claws, and pulled the bright yellow package out of Wu Sangui's hand.

Reached out and grabbed Wang Qiang's collar at the back of his neck, dragged him up from the coffin, stepped on the top of the coffin board, and closed the coffin board with a "snap".

At the same time, Team Joe's head also appeared above the coffin.

"Advisor Lin?"

Lin Yi pretended to be looking for tools, stuffed the package into his backpack, and took out the ink fountain.

"Team Qiao, why are you here, just take a hand."

As he spoke, he walked to the corner of the coffin and helped him down.

"Lao Wang is too fat, it's difficult to turn around, just when you come over, I can see the position almost, let's pull the ink fountain and compare, and we can start digging when we are sure."

"What's going on?"

"I estimate that there is a waterway under this stone slab, and these materials are transported in through the waterway, so the bottom plate of this coffin can come in handy for us, and we have to take a few complete pieces as soon as possible."

"Waterways? Do you mean that there is an army down here? ”

"I'm not sure now, I'll have to dig up to find out."

Lin Yi put away the ink fountain, pulled out the obstacle knife, and followed the line that the ink fountain bounced out just now, and made a groove of four boards with two large and two small ones on the bottom plate of the coffin room.

Wang Qiang and Qiao's team took the sapper shovel, chiseled down the groove, chiseled through, and then disassembled the coffin board with the serrated section of the sapper shovel.

It took nearly an hour for the three of them to finally break through the bottom of the coffin, and also took out four pieces of two large and two small, more than ten centimeters thick.

Now the working space is much more spacious all of a sudden.

The three of them started again, pried up a stone slab under the coffin slab, and the sappers in Wang Qiang's hand shoveled a few shovels down, and dug a small pit of more than 20 centimeters, which shows that the soil under the stone slab is really soft.

The Qiao team stepped forward to make up for more than ten times, and there were already signs of water seepage at the bottom of the pit.
