What was that?
There was nothing inside the stone coffin?
But it hadn't even been opened, so how did he know it was empty?
Murong Tianfeng was stunned when he heard Wang Xu's bold words.
"There are no corpses in the stone coffin?"
" What about this tomb?" Murong Tianfeng asked in surprise.”
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xu's voice had already sounded first.
"This tomb is indeed Guan Zhong's tomb. There is no doubt about it. At least compared to the cenotaph in Linzi, there are more things that can prove the identity of the tomb owner, right?”
Wang Xu gave him a very firm answer.
Speaking of which, at least half of the funerary objects in the entire tomb were placed by him. The rest were some of Guan Zhong's own collections when he was alive.
Murong Tianfeng's ears were not very sensitive, so he had turned on the speaker mode. The conversation between the two naturally fell into the ears of the people around them.
After hearing this, the two professors, Zhou Tian, and Director Zhao looked at Professor Murong hesitantly.
The young man on the phone was really boastful. He dared to say anything.
A large tomb that had just been unearthed, and even professors and experts like them who had first-hand information had yet to open the sarcophagus, yet he dared to say so confidently that there was no one in the coffin?
Even Hu Rong could not help but ask in puzzlement when she heard this.
"The sarcophagus has not been opened yet, and it has not been exposed to any X-rays. Professor Wang Xu, how can you be so sure that it is empty?”
Why was it empty inside?
Wang Xu lightly shook his head when he heard this, somewhat speechless.
This tomb was designed by him. Every brick, tile, grass, wood, feng shui pattern, and mechanism in the tomb were all personally planned by him. After countless craftsmen built it, it was only then that it reached its current scale.
Otherwise, how could the archeological team have entered the tomb so easily?
Not a single mechanism was activated along the way?
One had to know that this tomb was filled with arrow holes and quicksand. If one was not careful, they would be consigned to eternal damnation. Since ancient times, countless people had died in this tomb.
And that Broken Dragon Stone Gate, did he really think that it opened by chance?
Wang Xu couldn't help but laugh.
All of this was naturally part of his plan, so of course he knew!
However, Wang Xu would not directly say what was in his heart.
He was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly.
"Why the coffin is empty is not important. I just think that with your strength, you can't open the coffin. It's just a waste of effort. However, I'll stop here.”
"This…"
Professor Murong felt a little awkward.
At this moment, Professor Zhou, who was still hot-tempered despite his age, could not help but frown and shout at the top of his lungs.
"If we don't open the stone coffin and can't see the actual situation inside, how can we verify that the owner of this tomb must be Prime Minister Guan Zhong?”
"Besides, I came all the way from abroad with equipment, but you said I wouldn't open it? You, a junior who hasn't even arrived at the scene, actually want to point fingers at us?”
"What shameless boasting! Nonsense! Hmph, I'm not as easy to deceive as Professor Murong!”
Wang Xu did not mind the explosive sound coming from the phone. After a slight pause, he said lightly,
" Alright then, good luck…"
"Beep…"
As soon as he finished speaking, the call was cut off.
Murong Tianfeng held his phone in the air with a blank expression.
After Wang Xu hung up, Murong Tianfeng looked at the two professors with hostility.
Professor Zhou couldn't help but laugh.
"Elder Murong, why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you want to disregard our many years of friendship for a junior? Falling out with me?"
Murong Tianfeng shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"You old thing, I'm really in trouble because of you this time. As for Mister Wang Xu, I'll go and ask for forgiveness when I visit him one day!”
When Professor Zhou heard this, he could not help but say indignantly,"No, I don't understand. What kind of bewitching drug did that kid called Wang Xu give you? Why do you believe every word he says so much?”
Murong Tianfeng did not say anything else and only sighed.
"Alright, you don't understand. Let's prepare to open the coffin first!”
"Alright, no problem. Everything is ready, except for the east wind!”
Professor Zhou chuckled and walked straight to the front of the robotic arm. He patted the steel arm of the machine and looked at Wang Xu.
"Little kid, you don't know anything. How dare you say that I can't open it? Professor Murong, do you know what this is?”
Murong Tianfeng looked at his boastful expression and said,""Stop being so cocky. What is this thing?”
"Hehe, this is a high-tech product that I brought from the E3 Science and Technology Exhibition. It can even lift something that weighs 10,000 pounds, let alone a small lid!”
Such a small thing could actually lift ten thousand pounds?
Murong Tianfeng was slightly surprised. He looked at the mechanical arm and nodded.
The lid of the sarcophagus seemed to weigh about a thousand pounds at most. If it was placed in the outside world, it would not be difficult to open it. However, in the tomb, because of the small space, large-scale transportation equipment could not enter, so they could only rely on small robotic arms to operate.
Since Professor Zhou promised that he could lift ten thousand pounds, it shouldn't be a problem.
As for what Wang Xu said, there was nothing in the stone coffin…
Murong Tianfeng was skeptical about this conclusion. He had to see for himself!
"How's the equipment adjustment going?"
Professor Zhou shouted at the staff in a rough voice.
The staff member who was fiddling with the equipment gave him an 'OK' gesture.
Professor Zhou nodded." Alright, let's get ready to begin."”
Seeing this scene, Inspector Zhao quickly called everyone to stay away from the stone coffin to prevent any accidents.
The entire mechanical arm was made of titanium alloy, and the silver torso shone with a metallic luster, giving it a very technological feel.
Following the order, the mechanical arms clamped the middle part of the lid of the stone coffin on the left and right respectively, making a clang!”.
Inspector Zhao stood at the side and gave instructions. The others stood slightly further away. Their hearts were in their throats as they focused on the stone coffin.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"…Open the coffin!"
