However, the weight of silk is really limited, which is obviously not the reason for the unusual weight of the coffin.

"Lift it out again and keep driving."

Wu Liang observed it for a while and said again.

There are only two layers left in the coffin that has not yet been opened. The outer layer is made of catalpa wood, which is more precious than basswood.

This kind of wood is tough and elastic, has a high density and does not warp or crack. It is also resistant to moisture and rot, and is not easily damaged by insects and fungi. It is known as "immortal for thousands of years".

In ancient times, basswood was known as the "orthodox wood" and was even designated as a tribute wood. It was used to make high-quality furniture, boats, and even some well-made military accessories. If someone cuts it down privately, it will be beheaded.

disaster.

As for the inner layer, according to the customs of the Spring and Autumn Period, it should also be a catalpa wood coffin.

So, the four of them stepped forward and worked together to lift it.

Although the open outer layer of the basswood coffin has now been removed, when the four of them worked together to move the two nesting doll coffins inside, they still felt very heavy and took a lot of effort.

After taking out the outer layer of the catalpa wood coffin and taking a look at it, Wu Liang understood the reason.

turn out to be.

The space between the two layers of coffins was still only filled with some weightless silk.

However, the innermost coffin that is usually used to bury the body of the owner of the tomb is not the expected catalpa wood coffin at all, but a metal coffin made entirely of bronze...

Although this bronze coffin is slightly smaller than a normal coffin, it looks like a real thing at first glance, and the sound when knocked on it is very dull.

In addition, many magnificent patterns are cast on the surface of the coffin. The overall pattern is mainly composed of dragon patterns and cloud patterns. The edges and corners are matched with some rope patterns, and some small surfaces are also decorated with some cloud patterns and shell patterns.

, it looks very delicate.

If placed in later generations, this coffin itself would be a rare cultural relic, comparable to the national treasure-level cultural relic "Simuwu Ding" discovered in later generations, which is known as "the heaviest known bronze in ancient China" and is priceless!

However, this bronze coffin was not tied using the common "three long and two short" method.

We didn't find any fixing means between the coffin lid and the coffin. They seemed to be simply covered together.

Wu Liang got closer and looked at it carefully.

Soon, a total of six hexagonal metal pillars were discovered on the sides of the coffin, two on each of the two larger sides, and one on each of the two sides at the top and end.

These six hexagonal metal pillars were obviously not integrated with the bronze coffin, but stuck out through the tight holes.

In addition, the hexagonal prism material is also slightly different.

"What is this?"

Wu Liang felt that this hexagonal metal pillar was a bit like a component of some unknown mechanism, but he was not sure, so he had to first ask Dian Wei, Cao Ang and others to be careful and try to open the coffin, "You must be careful, no matter what you hear,
