"Whistle Coffin!"
Qi Tiezui's heart trembled violently, and he almost subconsciously retreated.
"How could it be the Whistle Coffin?"
When the others heard about the whistle coffin, their expressions changed.
What was a whistle coffin?
Luo Chen had read about the Whistle Coffin when he was reading about the Thief Pen.
Now that he had come to this world, he had naturally inquired about this thing from the Golden Abacus and Francolin Whistle.
"Junior brother, it is indeed a whistle coffin."
The whistle coffin meant that the things inside were very powerful, so it was wrapped in pig iron.
It was said that there was a warlord in Xiangxi who specialized in grave robbing.
Their leader, Zhang Yancheng, was the descendant of General Fa Qiu, and he had remarkable abilities.
It was said that the five fingers on his left hand were extremely long and almost the same length.
This person can build hills on the ground, once dug graves, tomb raiding skills are very good.
In the pugilistic world, there was even a rumor that 'when Yan City arrived, the little ghosts would jump, and when the King of Hell arrived, he would change his path'.
Luo Chen had heard from the Golden Abacus that Zhang Yancheng had a special way of robbing tombs.
For example, if they encountered a coffin from a land of blood and evil, they would pour cow blood on the coffin to observe its reaction.
If there was any strange sound in the coffin, the coffin owner might turn into a corpse. The soldiers would drag the coffin out of the ancient tomb and open it after being exposed to the sun.
If there were no abnormal movements in the coffin, one would have to look at the surface of the coffin.
In most cases, the cow's blood would not coagulate and would flow along the coffin to the bottom.
This meant that everything was fine and that the coffin was unsealed.
However, there was another special situation. After the cow's blood was poured on the coffin, it was like pouring on sand and stone. The blood seeped into the coffin.
This was an even more ominous sign than a corpse transformation. This meant that the thing in the coffin might not be a human corpse.
If the coffin wasn't a human corpse, then what was it?
The answer was an indescribable corpse, and in the underworld, these things were collectively known as demons.
At this time, Zhang Yancheng would order people to dig a pit on the spot, sink the demon coffin into the pit, apply mud, melt the weapon, and seal the coffin with molten iron.
There was only a hole at the top of the coffin that could only allow one hand to pass through.
When the molten iron solidified, he entered the coffin with one hand and took out the item inside.
It was said that this was the technique passed down from his ancestors, the skill of the Hair Hill Lieutenant General to explore the cave with two fingers.
When he was exploring the cave, he would order people to use a three-foot-long pipa scissors to clamp his arm while tying the "kouba" to the ponytail so that if something was wrong, others could immediately pull the horse away.
If the horse was frightened and ran away, the sharp pipa scissors would immediately cut off its hand and save its life.
Because there was a hole in the coffin, it would eventually turn into something similar to a huge iron whistle, so it was called the 'whistle coffin'.
"Then, could it be that someone had robbed this tomb before?”
"I don't think so."
Luo Chen and the others had seen that all the traps were intact, which meant that no one had come down.
"I feel that this whistle coffin was very likely found by Ma Yin from somewhere. It was specially placed here to prevent people from robbing the tomb.”
"Little White."
"Can you sense what's in the coffin?" Luo Chen asked.”
"Yes, Master."
Little White's innate spiritual sense was extraordinary. Even through the coffin, she could tell what was inside.
After a while, Little White said,"Master, there is a demon beast that has become a spirit inside."”
"Demonic beast?"
Luo Chen thought it was a zombie or something, but it was a demon."What kind of demonic beast?"
"Spider monster."
Luo Chen didn't know how a spider could squeeze into a coffin, but the thing inside was still alive."Alright, I got it."
"Shixiong, Xiao Bai told me that there are demons in this Whistle Coffin.”
Luo Chen said to Zhe Gushao. After hearing this, Zhe Gushao was a little puzzled."Since this demon is guarding the tomb, why are you pouring molten iron on it so that it can't come out?”
If the spider monster couldn't come out, then what was the point?
"Brother Luo, look at this Buddha statue and that Buddha head.”
Everyone looked over when they heard the voice. It turned out that Huo Jinxi had come to the sitting Buddha statue that was more than one meter tall. She asked everyone to turn up the lights.
"What an exquisite Buddha statue. It doesn't look like it's carved from stone.”
" It's pure white. It should be jade."
"Such a big jade Buddha?"
Qi Tiezui was the most skilled in art appraisal among everyone present, and he was proficient in both Buddhist and Taoist cultures. Luo Chen saw that he was amazed and asked,""Can you see anything, Iron Mouth?”
"Let me take a look."
Qi Tiezui walked around the Buddha statue and shook his head."Strange, strange. The head and body of this Buddha statue don't seem to be right.”
"What's wrong?"
Luo Chen didn't know much about antiques, but Zhegu Shao and Miss Hong had extraordinary eyesight. The flower spirit also saw some problems."The design is of the Matula style. Whether it's the craftsmanship or the material, it's all in the Tang Dynasty style.”
"The Buddha head has a right-hand thread. The top is hand-polished with Jieyu sand and has Tang Yu's dullness."
Qi Tiezui stepped forward to examine it, and his frown deepened."His face is the same as that of Buddha Rushena in Dragon Gate Grotto. It's Wu Zetian's face.”
"This seems to be, seems to be Wu Zetian's Bright Hall Jade Buddha.”
Qi Tiezui's eyes widened. He never thought that this jade Buddha would actually be in this place."No wonder. No wonder I felt that this Buddha body and Buddha head were a little strange.”
"Bright Hall Jade Buddha Head?"
Luo Chen felt that the name sounded familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it was."Iron Mouth, what's strange?"
"It's like this, Master Luo."
They didn't think there was anything wrong with Luo Chen not knowing antiques.
After all, there were specializations in every field. Naturally, there would be people who would do the appraisal.
Moreover, as long as he had enough experience, he would gain experience sooner or later when he saw more antiques in the future.
"During the Great Tang, Wu Zetian reigned supreme over Buddhism and built the Sacred Central Crypt, where a Maitreya Jade Buddha known as the head of all Buddhas was worshipped.”
"However, after that, the Sacred Central Crypt was burned down by Xue Huaiyi, and the Buddha's head was separated from his body. That most precious Buddha's head has since disappeared without a trace."”
"So it's this!"
Luo Chen's mouth twitched. No wonder he had never heard of this thing before.
Wasn't this the Buddha's head that was mentioned in the opening chapter of the Antiques Bureau?
"This Buddha head is the real Maitreya Buddha head of Wu Zetian Ming Hall, but the body was added later.”
Qi Tiezui did not expect that this Buddha Head would actually be found by Ma Yin and even brought to his tomb as a burial.
"Master Luo, this thing is priceless.”
If national treasures could be counted with money, then priceless treasures were things that could not be valued.
They had witnessed an era and represented a part of history. They were true treasures that were handed down from generation to generation.
