That's right!
Chen Feng could see the hole in the wall at a glance. It was only a meter wide. However, the size of the coffin could not be stuffed into the body of the ship.
Unless, the original tomb builders had built the entire coffin into the walls and then sealed it shut.
But if that was the case, the wall should have collapsed long ago.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng was somewhat puzzled.
Moreover, although the hole was one meter above, it became narrower as it went down. It was only 30 centimeters wide at most.
Since it was not a coffin, what was hidden underneath?
At the thought of this, Chen Feng felt very strange…
It seemed that the hole could only allow a person's arm to pass through. Since it was like this, it was equivalent to him reaching his hand in.
However, there might be a trap down there, and he couldn't look inside.
"Tsk tsk…"
However, after Chen Feng thought about it, he finally decided to investigate.
After all, something that could be hidden in the main tomb must be extraordinary.
With this in mind, Chen Feng tried his best to put his upper body in before reaching out to grope around the hole. It did not matter that he touched it. Chen Feng really touched something.
Based on his touch, he felt that the thing in his hand seemed to be round. It had a very good texture and was very smooth.
Moreover, the size was just right for a person to hold.
What was it?
Chen Feng could not help but feel curious when he felt something strange. He reached out and grabbed the cold circular object before trying to pull it out of the hole.
However, when Chen Feng shone the flashlight over and saw what he was holding in his hand, Chen Feng broke out in cold sweat.
Heads!
That's right. What Chen Feng took out from the hole was a white skull.
The meat on it had long rotted away, and even the bones were showing signs of oxidization. Moreover, this skull seemed to have been weathered for many years, and its bones were polished to an extremely smooth surface.
"This is…!"
The moment he saw the head, Chen Feng's pupils constricted.
Fortunately, he had seen an even more terrifying corpse before. Therefore, Chen Feng calmed down again after a few seconds.
However, what he could not figure out was why there was a head in this hole.
Could it be…This was Yuan Chonghuan's skull!
The thought of this possibility suddenly took root in Chen Feng's mind.
This was because Chen Feng remembered that the inscription had recorded that Yuan Chonghuan had been cut to death by a thousand cuts. He had been cut more than 300 times. His entire body was eaten raw, and his bones were trampled on.
The last remaining head was stolen by his subordinates.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng nodded.
It seemed like there was an 80% chance that this was Yuan Chonghuan's skull. And because he no longer had a corpse, he could not erect a monument and enter the coffin.
If that was the case, then it made sense that his head was buried in the tomb.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng felt a little emotional.
Yuan Chonghuan was also the Great General of the Ming Dynasty. Although he had the crime of killing the Island Master, his merits were always greater than his faults.
Such a person did not even have a thin coffin after his death.
It was indeed too miserable.
Wait a minute...
Just as he thought of this, Chen Feng suddenly felt a little strange.
If Yuan Chonghuan's burial ground was behind this wall, then there might be some burial items inside.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng carefully reached his hand into the hole again. This time, he was more cautious than before, afraid of touching something he shouldn't.
There was something!
At this moment, just as Chen Feng was checking the area in the hole, he suddenly touched a wooden cylindrical object.
This was…
Sensing something strange, Chen Feng took it out. When he placed it in his hand, Chen Feng realized that it was a wooden cylinder.
There's something in there...
Chen Feng shook it slightly. He realized that the bamboo tube was hollow, and there seemed to be a sound inside.
However, the sound was very soft. The thing inside seemed to be a paper item.
What could it be?
Filled with curiosity, Chen Feng carefully cut it open with his dagger. Then, he poured out the contents of the bamboo tube.
"This is…A sheepskin scroll?"
Chen Feng's eyes lit up when he saw this. He quickly picked up the sheepskin scroll.
It was indeed sheepskin…
As soon as he touched it, Chen Feng realized that it was a sheepskin that had been soaked in lime water. The ancients usually used this kind of thing to leave words because sheepskin could be preserved for a long time, and the processed sheepskin scrolls would not rot for a hundred years.
Hiss!
Chen Feng was instantly excited when he realized this.
Because he felt that the thing that could be buried with Yuan Chonghuan was very likely the book of war that brought Yuan Chonghuan to his death.
If it was really him, then he would be rich!
As he thought about it, Chen Feng suppressed his excitement and carefully opened the sheepskin scroll. When he looked at the contents, Chen Feng realized that it was written in regular script. It seemed like it was indeed something from the Ming Dynasty.
However, he would only know the contents after he read it.
The content was written in a vertical format. Chen Feng endured the discomfort and read it out loud.
"My Lord is free and easy. He has obtained the art of war from the Heavenly Book to resist the enemy beyond the Great Wall. However, Chongzhen fatuous fatuous, free from injustice and died. In the third year of Chongzhen, we risked our lives to steal the head and hoped to bury it back to our hometown. On the way to the cloth, we met with heavy snow in June. Only then did we know that we had been wronged and died.”
"In order to keep the military letter from falling into the hands of the Qing Tartars, I brought my head south to the Miao territory and hid my name…"
This vertical format was very awkward. Chen Feng endured the discomfort and finished reading. When he saw this, Chen Feng understood that this was not the military book.
If he didn't guess wrongly, this sheepskin scroll should be the will left behind by Yuan Chonghuan's subordinate back then.
This was because this paragraph was exactly the same as the words on the wall. They were all talking about how after Yuan Chonghuan died unjustly, they stole his head and saw Yuan Chonghuan bring it back to Miaojiang.
At the same time, in order to preserve the military book from being taken away by the Qing Dynasty, they also brought it back.
