"Stone horse? Why is there a stone horse buried here?"
Lin Yu took a look and immediately cried out!
This was even more terrifying than an empty coffin!
Who had ever heard of a stone horse being buried in a coffin?
Zhang Chen didn't even look at it from the beginning. He had just slapped the copper coffin and heard the vibration. He could roughly guess what was in the coffin!
"That's right! The female corpse we saw at the back of Snail Village should have been moved from here!”
Zhang Chen suddenly said," This tomb is only half-repaired. This means that something must have happened at that time. Someone moved the coffin of the tomb owner and placed the stone horse in the copper coffin!”
"There are only two motives!"
"First, humiliate the tomb owner, implying that he is only worthy of having animals as his spouse!”
"Secondly, there are mechanisms hidden in this copper coffin that can't be touched, so only Furen's inner coffin was moved!”
"Why do I feel like there's too much information? Was there still some love and hate?”
Huang Lei rubbed his chin and carefully savored Zhang Chen's words.
"Interesting! It seemed that this general really loved his wife. After he died, not only did he want to be buried in the same tomb as his wife, but he also built a fountain in the tomb for the two of them to have fun after death!”
Sun Honglei had a strange expression on his face.
"I didn't expect there to be such a romantic love story. The person who carried the General's wife's coffin away is really hateful!”
Ya Ya stuck out her tongue.
"We can't judge the right and wrong of the ancients! The most important thing now was to find the coffin of the tomb owner!”
Zhang Chen shook his head and glanced at everyone."Moreover, I dare to break the burial chamber behind the Hall of the Dead. There must be something mysterious about it!”
"Behind the Hall of the Dead?"
Lin Yu looked behind her in surprise. This was the Hall of the Dead of the main tomb, used to store the coffin of the tomb owner. Behind the Hall of the Dead was the burial room, as well as the pit.
There was also a narrow passageway between the Hall of the Dead and the burial room!
However, looking at the current situation in the Hall of the Dead, it was possible that the burial room had not been built yet. He did not quite understand the meaning of Zhang Chen's words.
"What you said makes sense, but we searched the entire Hall of the Dead, but we didn't see the coffin of the tomb owner at all! I now suspect that the tomb owner's body was not buried here at all because only half of the tomb was built.”
Huang Lei analyzed. It was a very simple principle. If the coffin of the tomb owner was in the tomb, it would definitely be placed in the Hall of the Dead. However, the Hall of the Dead was vast, and the coffin of the tomb owner could not be seen at all.
"It won't happen! Since the coffin of the tomb owner's wife was here, the coffin of the tomb owner must be here! Come over and take a look. The bottom of this altar seems to be hollow!”
Zhang Chen waved his hand and waved at everyone. He jumped over the fountain and walked to the altar. He knocked the handle of the shovel twice.
"Thump! Thump!"
"I think the coffin of the tomb owner might be hidden below! Moreover, the green bricks on top of it were different from the previous ones. There were no rubber tubes stuck to the gaps, as if they were the last ones laid on top!”
Zhang Chen stared at everyone with a serious expression.
"Zhang Chen, so you already knew?”
Fatty Deeny was shocked. They had been feeling dizzy all this time, and they didn't expect Zhang Chen to have so much information after a few rounds.
"It really seems to be empty!"
Huang Lei lay on the ground and knocked on the door with his fingers. He listened carefully and soon revealed a shocked expression.
"Then what should we do? Clear the bricks?"
Sun Honglei was stunned and asked.
"Yes! Let's see what's down there!”
Zhang Chen nodded. There was no reason not to open the coffin when they arrived at the tomb.
"I think it's possible. The structure of this tomb is exquisite and there are many mysteries. Even if the archaeological team comes in in the future, it won't be so easy to crack it!”
"I might as well investigate! As long as we don't destroy the cultural relics!"
Lin Yu nodded. He and Zhang Chen were both professionals, so they were naturally qualified to excavate the tomb.
"Everyone, come and help!"
Huang Lei nodded and called everyone to clean up the bricks!
The fire burned high when everyone gathered firewood. Although the three girls looked weak, their speed of cleaning the bricks with gloves was not inferior to Huang Lei and Sun Honglei's!
In less than 20 minutes, all the bricks on the altar had been cleared!
Zhang Chen lowered his head and used his hand to wipe away the sand. As expected, there was a neat and smooth copper plate underneath!
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he used his finger to knock on the copper plate twice!
Immediately, a hollow cry sounded again!
"There's a trap down there! The coffin of the tomb owner was most likely below!”
Zhang Chen stood up, patted the dust off his hands, and said to everyone.
"What a big copper coin! But where is the mechanism?"
Huang Bo used his arm to wipe off the dust on it. As expected, he saw a whole piece of copper coin and immediately revealed a surprised expression.
"Who knows! Let's clean up the dust first!”
Huang Lei shook his head. After saying that, he took out a cotton cloth from his bag and started wiping it.
Brother Bo, Fat Di Yaya, and the others also stepped forward to help.
Zhang Chen stood in place and looked at the coffin behind him. Suddenly, a strange light flashed in his eyes!
"The purpose of burying the stone horse in the coffin was to prevent the mechanism from being triggered! Then it could be concluded that the method to open the copper coin was on Madam's coffin!”
"The tomb owner loved Madam deeply and even built a starry sky and spring water in his tomb to please Madam. His goal must be to live with Madam after he dies!”
"In that case, the owner of the tomb probably connected his coffin to Madam's coffin with a mechanism!”
"Once the grave robbers enter the tomb and want to open Madam's coffin, they will activate the mechanism. The tomb owner's coffin will appear from underground in the Hall of the Dead, scaring away the grave robbers!”
Zhang Chen muttered to himself, and his thoughts instantly became clear!
"Yes, that must be the case! However, he did not expect that an accident would happen when the tomb was only half-built. The craftsmen who built the tomb stole Madam Mu's coffin by stealing the sky and changing the sun, so that he could only be accompanied by horses and livestock after he died!”
"Zhang Chen, come and see! There's a pattern on this copper engraving!"
Just as Zhang Chen thought it through, Fatty Di's voice suddenly sounded.
