Chapter 221 What's in the coffin?

Many emergency lights illuminated the underground palace with incomparable light. Lin Dong didn't know whether these white lights were dangerous to the funeral objects, but he didn't care about it. Once he entered the underground palace, he ran directly to the coffin.

Peng Wenhui and the others stayed where they were, and just took a look at the simple and weird-looking coffin, and then began to clear and register the funerary objects in the underground palace from the inside to the outside.

The workers outside the underground palace were not allowed in. They were guarding outside. They were accompanied by four gun-wielding men from the wolf mercenary group. They only needed to take the wooden box from inside and transport it out, or The empty boxes and fillers were sent to the gate of the underground palace. In order to prevent the previous looting from happening again, Hasimu took strict precautions against these workers.

Walking to the coffin, Lin Dong, Hasimu, and Sun Wenjuan couldn't help holding their breath.

After spending a lot of effort, in the end, they were about to see the most precious thing in the underground palace. At this moment, the three of them were a little excited.

Even though Lin Dong already knew what was inside, he couldn't help being a little excited—how could he not be excited to witness the completion of the excavation of this Mongolian noble tomb?
Because of the existence of many emergency lights, the underground palace is not as gloomy as in some tomb robbery novels, but rather like a brightly lit hall at night, with many gold ornaments, Yuan blue and white flowers and other funerary objects exuding seductive light under the light. , From different angles, different lights can be seen in the eyes, extremely beautiful and luxurious, I am afraid that in such a situation, it is impossible to see it in any place again!
However, everyone was not attracted by these brilliance, and all their eyes were on the inconspicuous tree-shaped coffin.

Lin Dong carefully looked at the huge and simple coffin, which was made of poplar wood.

It is said that the Populus euphratica tree will not die for a thousand years, will not fall for a thousand years after death, and will not die for a thousand years after falling down. Although it is a bit exaggerated, the wood of Populus euphratica is excellent, and in the hearts of these horseback nations, it is no less than the evaluation of nanmu by the Han people.

Such a yellow wood with a diameter of more than two meters is afraid that it will have a life span of at least a thousand years.

Although the underground palace is deep underground, it is not very humid. Lin Dong wondered if he had considered groundwater factors when this place was selected as a cemetery, including the underground soil should be mellow soil, right?
"Do you do it?"

Hasimu couldn't help it anymore, he reminded Lin Dong: "Now, should we just open it?"

Lin Dong's thoughts were drawn back, and he wondered how he could still be distracted at this critical moment. Now that time was running out, he nodded immediately: "Let's do it! There should be no problem here, be careful, don't damage the things inside Just do it!"

Sun Wenjuan also nodded, now she has no other worries.

All three of them put on masks and gloves, and Lin Dong directly picked up a crowbar and began to move his hands.

Although the gas mask is more reliable, but the field of vision is not wide, and besides, it is only to prevent possible corpses in the coffin, so using a gas mask is a bit of a fuss.

Outside the whole coffin, the whole poplar wood was cut off, and then the middle was hollowed out to make it look like a coffin, and then the real coffin was put in.

There are not many nails on the outer outer coffin, but the workmanship is very good. The poplar wood has been processed. Lin Dong was very careful when prying it open, and he could feel it. A little gap, and no glue was used.

In comparison, Hasimu's actions were much ruder, his crowbar directly hit it, and even destroyed several places of Populus euphratica, exposing the dark yellow wood inside.

Lin Dong frowned, but did not speak.

He could only speed up and open the coffin as carefully and as quickly as possible, in order to prevent Hasimu's "destructive" excavation to the greatest extent.

Once Lin Dong accelerated, the movements at hand seemed to be fast movements in a movie, with an indescribably beautiful rhythm. When, also froze.

How did this guy get so fast?This poplar wood coffin is not easy to pry, is it?Is it easier on his side?Or did Lin Dong himself have mastered some kind of trick?

Even Peng Wenhui and the others, who occasionally glanced over, stopped what they were doing. Tian Qinde, who was holding a brush to write on a gold coin, was also watching Lin Dong's movements, and the brush in his hand was raised. I brushed it on my face, but I didn't feel it at all!

Less than 10 minutes later, Lin Dong had already pried off all the remaining nails. He exhaled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said "Hey!" The lid is off!
This sound woke up all the people who were stunned. Hasmu hurriedly helped Lin Dong lift the lid. He felt that the lid was heavy when he started to hold it. He immediately opened his mouth: "You two students, come and help!"

Shen Ruohai and Tian Qinde ran over immediately, and Peng Wenhui stopped registering the blue and white porcelain and ran over to have a look.

Several people lightly put the cover aside, revealing the coffin containing the corpse.

Bluestone?
Hasimu was a little disappointed, but it was reasonable.

The outer coffin is only poplar wood, and the inner coffin is made of bluestone, which is not surprising.

It's just that such a coffin doesn't match the gold and jade objects in the underground palace, doesn't it?
Is this the custom of the nobles at that time?

Without much thought, everyone's eyes were focused on the blue sarcophagus.

The blue sarcophagus is about 1.5 meters wide and two meters long, not very big.It does not fit perfectly with the Poplar euphratica wooden coffin outside, and there is a certain gap in the middle.There are some silk fabrics stuffed in the gap, which have not been moved for many years. These silk fabrics still retain the same appearance as before, but as soon as the coffin is lifted, the silk fabrics immediately change color.

Peng Wenhui let out a soft "Oh", which was obviously a pity, these things are all history!
The eyes of the others were almost all focused on the blue sarcophagus.

The blue sarcophagus is very simple, without the slightest carving on it. It can be seen that it is a very ordinary blue stone, which has been cut and polished into a coffin. If there is any difference, it is that the cutting is very fine, and the seams between the blue stones are very fine. Thin, almost impossible to insert a knife in.

"What will be in here?" Tian Qinde couldn't help asking: "Will it be..."

"Go ahead and register!" Hasimu suddenly said in a cold voice: "Hurry up, don't make mistakes in registration!"

Tian Qinde was stunned, he didn't know why Hasimu let them leave suddenly.

Sun Wenjuan glared at him. Originally, she could let her students take a look at the contents of the coffin. This Tian Qinde is really ignorant!

"Go!" Sun Wenjuan said helplessly, "If you don't understand something, call me."

Peng Wenhui understood what Sun Wenjuan meant, and left first to study the blue and white porcelain.

Hasimu watched the four leave before saying to Lin Dong, "Let's do it!"
