Achoo, Achoo, Achoo…
Ye Cheng sneezed more than ten times in a row. Good heavens, he almost sent himself away.
He rubbed his red nose.
"Hey, who's thinking about me again?”
"Ding…Guide the archeological team to open the jade door. Reward: A pair of Night Eyes!”
The system's reward came again.
Ye Cheng was overjoyed.
"Night Eye, in that case, I can see clearly in the dark in the future!”
Ye Cheng was overjoyed. This skill was awesome.
If he really went to the tomb in the future, it would not affect him at all in that pitch-black situation.
Mom won't worry about me walking at night anymore.
Ye Cheng rubbed his nose, feeling very satisfied.
" Brother Ye," Li Duoduo said with concern," you've caught a cold? You have to take care of your body!"”
Ye Cheng sniffled." Ah, it's nothing. Oh right, take a look inside. That should be the main tomb. What's the situation inside?”
"Oh, okay!" Li Duoduo quickly aimed the camera behind the jade door.
Professor Chen walked in excitedly.
This was a very large tomb.
Above the tomb was a dome filled with murals, and on the four sides were stone slabs engraved with inscriptions. On both sides were two ear chambers!
In the middle, there were seven stone coffins. The stone coffins were obviously of a much higher grade than the one outside, and they were densely engraved with inscriptions.
"This is the main tomb, right? This is too strange. Professor Chen, why are there seven coffins here? Could it be a joint grave?" Everyone was puzzled.
Wang Yan was also puzzled.
This was the first time he had seen such a burial method.
In ancient times, many emperors and generals had the custom of being buried with their dead.
However, it was impossible for the concubines and slaves to be buried in the same chamber as the owner of the tomb. Moreover, they were buried in coffins of the same specifications. This was too abnormal.
Professor Chen was also confused." Well, I don't know either. I've never seen such a burial method before.”
"Could it be the tomb owner's wife?"”
Professor Chen shook his head." Normally, other than the first wife, no one else has the right to be buried with the tomb owner. Even the first wife can only sleep in the same coffin, not seven coffins at the same time. To the ancient people, this is against the relationship of seniority!”
"That's strange!"
Professor Chen walked to a coffin and stared at the inscription on it. Unfortunately, he could only recognize two or three words.
"These should be the epitaphs of the tomb owner. Perhaps the answer is hidden inside!”
The others went to the two side chambers to check on the situation.
The ear chambers were very ordinary and were used to store funerary objects.
Unfortunately, most of the burial items were bottles and jars. They had long since decayed, and few of them were intact.
As for gold and silver, there was not a single one.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Sigh, this ancient tomb was hidden so deeply. I thought there would be many funerary objects. In the end, it's so shabby!”
Wang Yan glared at him." Xiao Chen, watch your words and actions. We are archaeologists, not grave robbers. We can't underestimate them just because there are few burial items. There are a lot of written records left behind. To us, they might be even more important!”
"Oh, I know I was wrong, Teacher!" Xiao Chen immediately wilted.
Wang Yan was usually very strict, so he did not dare to refute him.
"This is the main tomb. Let's cut the crap and quickly open the coffin. Opening seven coffins at once is satisfying.”
"D * mn, there are seven coffins at once. If all seven coffins are filled with dumplings, it will be troublesome.”
"Do you think dumplings are free? They're everywhere. If that's the case, Professor Chen and the others would have seen them countless times.”
"Yes, the formation of a dumpling definitely requires the right time, place, and people. How can it be so easy to become a dumpling?”
"Who is the owner of this tomb? It feels so mysterious.”
……
Now that the main tomb had been found, they were just waiting to reveal the answer.
"Brother Ye, you must know the inscriptions on those coffins, right?" Li Duoduo asked.”
Ye Cheng had already shown his ability when they first entered the room. Li Duoduo naturally felt that Ye Cheng would be able to recognize the words in front of her.
Professor Chen also hurriedly said," Yes, yes, yes. Xiao Ye, if you can recognize these words, that would be great. It would save us a lot of time to decipher them!"”
"Teacher Ye, what is written on this?”
The others also gathered around, filled with curiosity.
"Duo Duo, come closer. I want to take a closer look!”Ye Cheng didn't delay.
With their questions and his answers, the system's rewards came again. It was simply giving him experience.
Ye Cheng wouldn't be annoyed even if he was asked 800 times a day.
Ye Cheng looked at it carefully and thought to himself, This really is Old Lu's grave.
"Teacher Ye, how was it?" Wang Yan asked excitedly!
Unknowingly, he had also shouted out the words 'Teacher Ye'. After shouting, he was stunned for a moment.
However, he didn't feel embarrassed about it.
In any case, Ye Cheng was indeed better than him in the aspect of ancient characters.
Although he was a little older, it did not matter.
What did a teacher have to do with age?
No one else noticed.
After all, they were already used to calling him Teacher Ye and did not take it seriously at all.
"The epitaph of the tomb's owner is on this coffin. It records the life of the tomb's owner."”
Professor Chen was a little excited." Xiao Ye, who is the owner of this tomb?”
"The owner of this tomb is called King Lu Shang. He is a duke of the State of Lu. He was born with a Ghost Seal and can borrow Yin soldiers from the underworld to fight.”
"Later, he said that there were little ghosts in the netherworld causing trouble and wanted to go back to help. He knocked the head of the Duke of Lu three times and passed away. The Duke of Lu hoped that he would come back and continue to serve, so he built the Lu Palace for him. Unfortunately, this King Lu Shang never came back!”
After listening to Ye Cheng, everyone had a look of understanding.
Professor Chen said," Oh, so it's King Lu Shang. According to the historical records, King Lu Shang is very famous. He's a great general of the Lu Kingdom and has outstanding military achievements. However, this title should have been self-proclaimed by King Lu Shang. Back then, the Duke of Lu was not conferred the title of King by the Emperor of Zhou, let alone a general of the Lu Kingdom!”
"In that case, King Lu Shang is deceiving himself.”
"Yes, I guess so!" Professor Chen nodded." That's great. Now that the tomb of King Lu Shang has been unearthed, it has a very important significance for the history of the late Western Zhou Dynasty!”
Wang Yan was even more excited.
"Teacher, should we open the coffin immediately?”
At the mention of opening the coffin, everyone shuddered.
The memory that the bloody corpse had given them was especially fresh.
"There's no rush, Professor Chen. Do you still remember the words I left on the blueprint?" Ye Cheng said.”
"How many words?" Professor Chen was a little confused, but he soon heard the voice." You mean, the words 'Empty Coffin and Suspected Grave'? Could there be another story behind this?”
For a moment, everyone was curious!
