777米奇影

Gu Santong pondered for a moment. Since they had plenty of people, it did not make much of a difference whether they opened it now or the next day. He nodded and said, “Then let us open the coffin right now!”

Upon reaching the coffin, Gu Santong stated, “Little Luo, are you certain that you don’t need more helpers? This coffin is rather huge now that I’ve gotten a closer look! ”

“There’s no need,” Luo Feng replied. “You guys holding it up from the side is all the help I need!”

For Luo Feng, lifting the lid of a coffin was no big deal.

After circling around it, Luo Feng observed, “It seems that the coffin has not been sealed!”

In ancient burials, coffins were usually sealed shut.

If it was not sealed, it either meant it had been forgotten, or it was a coffin that had not been buried yet.

As for the possibility of it being forgotten, Luo Feng thought it was quite unlikely. It would be too strange for such an important matter to be forgotten.

If Luo Feng’s guess was correct, the coffin had been prepared before the tomb owner’s death.

Thus, it was possible that the tomb owner was never actually buried inside.

It was for this reason that the coffin remained unsealed.

With a creaking sound, Luo Feng’s arm muscles bulged, and his veins pulsed visibly, eliciting gazes from several onlooking women.

Once the coffin lid was lifted, several people supported it and gently placed it to the side.

“There’s another coffin inside?” Li Shishi asked, dumbfounded.

“You silly girl, didn’t I just tell you? An imperial-grade burial has seven layers!” Luo Feng rolled his eyes. “Weren’t you paying attention?” “So there are six more coffins inside?” Su Meiji inquired.

“Not necessarily. All I can say is that if he followed the imperial-grade standards, there would definitely be seven layers!”

Luo Feng continued to remove the inner coffin lids.

The second layer.

The third layer.

The fifth layer.

By the time they reached the sixth layer, the coffin was almost the same size as an ordinary one.

However, at that moment, Cai GuobinO called out, “Mr. Luo, Master Gu, the jade box has been opened!”

The golden box they had opened earlier definitely contained the jade seal.

The stone box held the imperial edict.

So what was inside the jade box?

“Never mind that for now. We’re in the process of opening the coffin!” Gu Santong nodded, acknowledging his subordinate’s feat. However, since they were only one layer away from fully uncovering the coffin, there was nothing else was more important than that.

Once the coffin was opened, the identity of the tomb owner might be revealed.

Moreover, coffins usually contained many treasures.

When Luo Feng lifted the sixth layer, he discovered a bronze coffin inside.

Of course, this was not a coffin shell but the actual coffin.

What was the difference between a coffin shell and a coffin?

There was not much difference, but they could be further divided.

The term “coffin” referred to the container used for holding the deceased’s remains, while the term “coffin shell” referred to the outer layer of the coffin, indicating the deceased’s status.

Those with coffin shells were quite impressive.

For example, in many tomb-robbing dramas, a large stone box is discovered containing a smaller coffin.

The stone box is called the coffin shell, and the coffin inside is the actual coffin.

The analogy was similar to that of a wine bottle and its outer packaging.

“Finally, the actual coffin!”

“May everyone strike it rich upon seeing the coffin!”

Luo Feng was sweating slightly, thankful that he had great physicality. Otherwise, he would have been exhausted by the time he reached the seventh layer.

He then gently lifted the final coffin lid. “It’s empty! It’s actually empty!”

“Where is the body?”

It was evident that the coffin was empty.

However, an empty did not mean it contained nothing.

Generally, an empty coffin referred to one without a body.

It did not mean there were no other items contained within it.

At this moment, all they could see was something covered by a rotting piece of cloth.

The material of the cloth was indistinguishable due to its decay.

Beneath the cloth was something flat and thin, approximately 3 to 5 centimeters thick.

“Why is it empty?”

“I told you, it’s a subsidiary tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, but you didn’t believe me!”

“What the heck is a subsidiary tomb? Is it like a branch office?” “Hahaha, it’s something like that!”

“In ancient times, they called it a decoy tomb, alright?”

“Haha, yeah, like Cao Cao’s, who is said to have seventy-two decoy tombs!”

Luo Feng spoke up, “Master Gu, would you like to put on gloves and take a look?”

“Alright,” Master Gu nodded, and carefully lifted the decaying cloth to reveal the object beneath.

His movements were slow and cautious.

With each inch revealed, he examined the object underneath to ensure it was not damaged.

He suspected it was an invaluable cultural relic.

Upon fully unveiling the object, they discovered it was a piece of clothing.

However, this garment was made up of numerous jade pieces and gold threads.

Its length was roughly 60 centimeters.

At first, Luo Feng did not suspect there was a body beneath the cloth.

A body could not possibly be only 60 centimeters long.

“Wow! Is this a jade burial suit made with gold threads?”

“And it’s just the upper garment? How odd!”

“My goodness, this thing is worth at least 10 billion yuan, right?”

“The host has definitely hit the jackpot this time!”

“Think bigger. The host could potentially earn over 100 billion. That imperial jade seal alone is worth 100 billion yuan, after all!”

“I looked it up on Baidu, and people say the imperial jade seal is worth 9 trillion.”

“Are you kidding me…”

“Forget it. Nobody can afford to buy it for 1 trillion yuan, alright? Who on earth could possibly afford that?”

Luo Feng’s lips twitched, “A jade burial suit with gold threads, really?”

This time, the valuable items discovered were truly overwhelming.

Luo Feng felt slightly dazzled.

“However, Master Gu, there is another box beneath the clothing! Do you want to open it?” Little Cai reminded them from the side.

They could only see that the box was placed beneath the jade burial suit’s upper garment.
