The tomb of the Duke of Lu had experienced many ups and downs.
At first, they thought it was a tomb of the Warring States Period, but they found out that the original tomb was from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Later, he thought that there were no valuable written records inside, but he found oracle bone inscriptions.
Now, they thought that it was just an ordinary Western Zhou tomb that had been robbed by the vassals of the Lu Kingdom. In the end, they realized that it might be an imperial tomb!
The Tomb of the Emperor!
How much archaeological value would that be?
All the ancient tombs were excavated with the emperor's tomb as the center of attention!
This was because the emperor was the supreme ruler of a feudal dynasty.
They were often able to gather the power of the entire country for their own benefit!
All the magnificent buildings left behind from ancient times could only be built by emperors.
For example, the earth-shattering mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the majestic Great Wall!
This was the product of the feudal dynasty's high degree of concentration of power!
Therefore, the imperial tombs had always been the tombs with the highest standards, the highest value, and the most burial items!
If this Western Zhou tomb was a tomb of an emperor, it would explain why there were oracle bone inscriptions here.
In that era where the literacy rate was so low that it made one's hair stand on end, only the kings and generals could be buried with so many recorded things!
Chu Yuan could not help but say,"No wonder that duke of the State of Lu chose to snatch this Western Zhou tomb."”
"The mausoleum of an emperor. Of course, everything is the best!”
But now, the problem was, if this was a tomb of an emperor…
Then who was the emperor buried here?
Where did his corpse go?
Anyway, the archeological team didn't believe that the iron-faced fox corpse with a headshot was the emperor of Western Zhou.
If the Emperor were to look like this, wouldn't the civil and military officials be scared to death?
Moreover, this thing's eyes could cast evil spells!
Perhaps the identity of the tomb owner still depended on the records on those precious oracle bones.
……
At this moment, the bronze coffin that was surrounded by everyone suddenly shook on its own.
A muffled sound came from inside, exactly the same as the situation in the TV series!
Everyone stopped their discussion and did not dare to make a sound.
It really looked like there was a living thing inside!
Captain Song examined the coffin and frowned.
"This coffin is sealed very well. There's not even a gap. If the thing inside is a living thing, it won't be able to breathe at all.”
"Who said living things have to breathe?" Wu Zhengkai disagreed.”
"The monster in the stone coffin is also a living thing, but it doesn't need to breathe at all!”
"I've been sealed in the stone coffin for so long, and I don't even need to eat or drink.”
Captain Song did not argue with Wu Zhengkai.
He looked at Professor Liu for advice.
"Professor, should we open this coffin?”
Yes, were they going to open it or not?
The netizens in the live broadcast room were also thinking about it. They were even divided into two factions and started arguing.
One faction felt that there was no need to wait for the TV series. The archaeological team had such a large firepower suppression that they could completely deal with the unexpected situation.
Besides, just like the illusion of the iron-faced fox corpse, although the TV series warned them, the archaeological team still fell for it.
The fickle netizens who felt that it was necessary to wait were doing it for safety reasons.
He would rather open the coffin later than to ensure that no one was injured!
Seeing that Professor Liu couldn't make a decision, Wu Zhengkai thought of an idea.
"Professor Liu, I think we can still open the coffin. Look there!”
Following the direction that Wu Zhengkai was pointing at, everyone looked up and saw the crack on the ceiling.
It was already late at night. The moonlight shone down from the ceiling of the cave, and the scene was somewhat beautiful.
"The top of the Snake Creeper Tree is very close to the top of the cave," Wu Zhengkai said."Moreover, its branches and vines are everywhere. Some of them have already grown to the top of the cave.”
"This is a natural ladder. It's very easy to climb out by following the branches of the Snake Vine Tree.”
"We can let most of the people out first, then hang ropes from above to tie them up and open the coffin!”
"This way, if anything goes wrong, we can be pulled back by the people above immediately.”
"This hole is very big. We can also set up heavy firepower on it. Once there is a problem, fire immediately!”
Captain Song thought about it in his mind and felt that this method was feasible!
Although they were still using the method of luring the stone coffin monster, this natural hole could facilitate the deployment of heavy firepower.
Professor Liu also agreed to this idea.
Then, everyone began to climb up the cave. The two corpses on the jade bed were carried out of the cave by two young warriors.
The most important thing, the oracle bone, was also tied to the chest of a small warrior as he climbed up.
When most of the people had left, only Song and Wu, the two captains, and three to five warriors were left in the cave.
The archeological team only had Professor Liu, Chu Yuan, Zhou Wan, Shu Fan, and a staff member from National TV.
The few of them sat on the stone platform and waited for the arrangements to be made.
An hour later, Wu Zhengkai heard a whistle and stood up.
"They're done setting up. We can open the coffin now!”
They tied ropes around their bodies and stood around the bronze coffin.
Captain Song took out a dagger and scraped a crack on the side of the bronze coffin.
A small soldier slowly ground the lever in and then pressed down hard.
With a crack, the board of the bronze coffin rose.
A few young warriors quickly went up to help, pushing the green copper coins out.
This board seemed to weigh a few hundred pounds, and it was very difficult for the men to push it.
When he finally pulled the board to the side, the coffin inside was finally revealed.
The coffin was made of wood, and there were many paintings on it. However, once the coffin was opened, the paintings instantly weathered, causing Professor Liu's heart to ache.
Captain Song didn't care about this. He looked at the coffin and said,"There should be corpses inside. Let's continue driving.”
Wu Zhengkai nodded. At the same time, he sent a signal to the people at the entrance of the cave, reminding them to pull them up immediately if there was any movement.
Zhou Wan was short, so she was the closest to the coffin.
At this moment, she could clearly hear the faint sound of breathing in the coffin.
"Shh, can you hear someone breathing?”
The few of them quieted down. As expected, they also heard the sound of breathing. Their hearts skipped a beat. This scene was really uncomfortable.
But Wu Zhengkai still said," It's okay. I'll drive with Old Song. You guys stay back a little. Remember to pull the rope and leave at any time!"”
Unexpectedly, Zhou Wan raised her hand to stop them.
She put her hand into the coffin and said,""Wait, there seems to be a mechanism here!”
Zhou Wan fumbled around in the coffin for a while before pulling it suddenly.
The wooden coffin split open neatly from the middle!
At this moment, everyone heard a shrill scream from the coffin!
