On the mountain behind Snail Village, Old Man Ma led Zhang Chen and the others to the tomb of the female corpse.
Zhang Chen looked at the exposed coffin on the ground and sighed at how unprofessional he was!
"Is this the coffin of the female corpse?”
Sun Honglei was shocked. He wanted to step forward, but he looked at Zhang Chen hesitantly.
Zhang Chen asked everyone to wait at the side while he walked forward. He had the Qilin bloodline in his body, and he also had the unique skills of the Big Star Kick and the two fingers to explore the tomb. There was a gold pendant hanging around his neck, and he had the General Seal of the Hairmound in his chest!
It was just a female corpse from the Tang Dynasty. He didn't care about it at all!
Walking to the coffin, he stretched his head out to take a look and revealed a surprised expression.
Perhaps it was because of the rain last night, the coffin was soaked in coffin water. The female corpse floated on the water, and her clothes had been stripped clean before she could be buried!
The female corpse was well preserved and showed no signs of decay!
According to Zhang Chen's guess, it should have gone through a special dehydration process!
This tomb was very small and did not look like the family of a dignitary. However, from the way the funerary objects and corpses were preserved, it belonged to the upper class.
Moreover, judging from the specifications of the coffin that the female corpse was lying in, it was not something that an ordinary family could afford!
This made Zhang Chen very puzzled.
"This coffin is not simple! Why was a coffin of this size buried in the soil of the back mountain?”
Lin Yu suddenly exclaimed and walked forward with her glasses.
He wore white gloves and carefully observed the coffin. He looked like he was admiring a work of art. When his gaze moved to the inside of the coffin, he almost jumped up in shock!
"A miracle! What a miracle!"
"It's a miracle that it can still be preserved so well after hundreds of years!”
When everyone saw Lin Yu's appearance, their faces were filled with surprise.
"This Professor Lin is really strange! Why was it that a person who was usually unwilling to talk much treated the coffin like a treasure?”
Huang Bo said in surprise.
"You don't understand! They were all the same. Don't look down on their usual scholarly behavior. As long as they saw their own research specialization, they would be much crazier than the average person!”
Huang Lei said with a smile. He was also a university teacher. He had interacted with a lot of professors and doctors, so he knew their personalities very well.
These people were more reserved people. It was not that they were not fanatical, but they did not usually show it.
"Professor Lin, can you identify this female corpse?”
Zhang Chen was surprised to see Professor Lin.
"Looking at the specifications of the coffin and the Vermilion Bird pattern on it, it has the style of the early Tang Dynasty. The corpse is well preserved and has been processed by the ancient methods of the upper class!”
"Moreover, only the royal family has this ancient technique! Even if the female corpse was not a member of the royal family, she would still have a close relationship with the royal family!”
"Judging from the body shape, the female corpse is not old. She might have died young!”
"We can see the identity of the female corpse from the burial items and her undergarments. Unfortunately, they were all stolen!”
Professor Lin sighed.
"Alright! Professor Lin, you can see so much. I have a whole new level of respect for you! I won't bully you anymore!"
Sun Honglei gave Lin Yu a thumbs up and smiled.
Zhang Chen also nodded slightly. This Lin Yu was really talented and was right.
When Lin Yu heard Brother Honglei's praise, she suddenly revealed a shy smile, but she quickly restrained it and looked at Zhang Chen with a serious gaze."But there's one thing I don't understand. Why would a noble woman of such status be buried here?”
Zhang Chen shook his head. It's not that easy to figure it out, but we can guess!”
"Oh? Tell me!"
Lin Yu was a little stunned and looked at Zhang Chen curiously.
"Do you still remember the golden hairpin that Buttface picked up?" Zhang Chen asked Lin Yu.”
"Of course! It's with Brother Lei!"
Lin Yu nodded.
"I don't know if you looked carefully, but that golden hairpin has a hook at the end. Only married women wear this kind of golden hairpin that substitutes hooks!”
Zhang Chen said.
Huang Leiwen took out the golden hairpin from his bag and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw a curved hook at the end.
"Why would a married woman wear such a golden hairpin?”
Fatty Di was puzzled.
"In ancient times, women needed to tie their hair up after getting married. This kind of hairpin with a hook at the end was used to make it easier to tie up their hair.”
Zhang Chen said.
"Oh, I see!"
Fatty Di looked enlightened.
"Wearing a golden hairpin, having an extraordinary identity, being a married woman, having a close relationship with the royal family, and belonging to the early Tang Dynasty. These few pieces of information can basically lock onto the fact that this female corpse belongs to the family of a general from the Tang Dynasty!”
Zhang Chen speculated.
Lin Yu nodded slightly, as if she agreed with Zhang Chen's speculation. However, she still could not explain why this woman was buried here and not in the general's tomb!
"Look at this coffin again. It's neat from front to back and exquisite workmanship. There's no antiseptic paint on the surface of the coffin.”
Zhang Chen pointed at the coffin.
"Inner coffin? You said there's another coffin?"
Lin Yu was surprised. So the female corpse's coffin was moved here?
"In ancient times, when a noble was buried, they would follow the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty. They would use an outer coffin and an inner coffin. Then, the corpse would be specially treated to ensure that the corpse would not rot!”
"Although the coffin of the female corpse was damaged, it was sealed very well. The rain did not leak out last night. This is the best proof!”
Zhang Chen continued.
Everyone was surprised as they stared at Zhang Chen.
"No matter what the reason is, for the coffin of the General's wife to appear here, it means that there should be a general's tomb nearby!”
Zhang Chen speculated.
