This is the first time for everyone to see this kind of bronze coffin.

Even Yu Ji, who had a lot of experience, couldn't tell the clues, so he didn't interrupt. Seeing Wu Liang and others preparing to open the coffin, he silently took a few steps back.

"are you ready?"

The four of them each stood in a corner. Seeing that everyone was holding the edge of the coffin lid with their hands, Wu Liang asked.

"alright!"

The other three responded.

"Okay, listen to my slogan, one! Two! Three! Get up!"

Wu Liang took a deep breath and directed everyone to work together.

"Hey!"

The bronze coffin was not moved at all.

In fact, it cannot be said that it did not move at all, but the lid of the coffin was not lifted as expected. Instead, the entire bronze coffin was lifted off the ground with the coordinated efforts of everyone.

"fall!"

Seeing this situation, Wu Liang had to order everyone to put down the bronze coffin and inspect it carefully again.

There are various indications that the lid and the coffin of this bronze coffin are not a whole. There is a very obvious gap between the two, and no clear fixing method has been found.

It was also for this reason that Wu Liang asked everyone to try to open the coffin in this way.

But it turns out that the connection between the two is much closer than Wu Liang imagined. This method does not seem to work...

But after this inspection.

Wu Liang discovered another small detail on the coffin lid that was easily overlooked.

A majestic dragon pattern is cast on the coffin lid and decorated with some irregular cloud patterns, which looks mysterious and majestic.

Under one of the dragon's claws, which was located exactly in the center of the coffin lid, it was holding a bead about ten centimeters in diameter.

This bead is slightly convex outward, and its surface is polished so finely that it can even reflect human figures like a bronze mirror.

And where the beads connected to the coffin lid, Wu Liang discovered a very small gap.

It stands to reason that all the patterns on this coffin are relief sculptures cast in one piece. Everything on it should be integrated with the entire coffin, and this flat bead is no exception.

But it seems that it was added after the relief was cast.

"Is there something special about this bead?"

Wu Liang almost leaned on the coffin lid to look more carefully.

This thing also seems to be made of bronze. Apart from being polished more finely, it is no different from the bronze coffin itself.

There are no obtrusive hexagonal metal pillars protruding from the inside out on the sides of the coffin.

"Give me the engineer shovel."

Wu Liang took an engineering shovel from Dian Wei and tapped the upper line lightly with the shovel head. The sound and feedback were not significantly different from the bronze coffin itself.

Then he applied pressure to it with a sapper shovel.

It didn't move at all, and it didn't seem to be a trigger switch of some mechanism, or something weird.

"this……"

Wu Liang was a little confused.

Through repeated tests with the engineer's shovel, he could basically rule out any danger in touching the bead, so he finally tentatively reached out to the bead.

The initial touch is very cold, not much different from normal metal.

The surface is extremely delicate even if you touch it carefully. It is indeed a level of polishing only found in bronze mirrors.

Wu Liang held it and tried to pick it up to see if it could indeed be separated from the coffin lid.

However, because the surface of the bead is too smooth, there is simply no sufficient friction between the finger and the bead, so several attempts at grabbing it were in vain.

Fortunately, Wu Liang has other methods.

He took out the copper dagger from his waist, gently inserted the thinner tip into the small gap between the bead and the coffin lid, and then used a slight force to pry upward.

"Stuck!"

Accompanied by a slight metallic friction sound.

The bead was actually pried to one side, revealing a larger gap.

"!"

Seeing this situation, Wu Liang did not dare to act rashly and immediately stopped to observe the gap quietly.

There were too many evil things in this tomb, and he had reason to suspect that there were also unusual things in the coffin of the owner of the tomb. If he was careless, he might harm others and himself.

"?"

Everyone immediately heightened their vigilance, holding their breath and staring at the gap where nothing could be seen.

Dian Wei immediately came to Wu Liang's side, holding the engineer shovel high above his head. Once there was any movement in the gap, he would respond without hesitation and do his best to protect Wu Liang Zhouquan.

The crowd probably waited quietly for more than ten seconds.

Wu Liang finally relaxed a little and asked without looking back: "Jingjing, is there anything going on inside this coffin?"

"No."

Bai Jingjing shook her head and replied.

"Then have those monsters behind us caught up?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"No, I haven't heard any movement from them for a while. They seem to have completely lost track of us."

Bai Jingjing said again.

not necessarily.

Maybe it's because there's something they're afraid of, so they don't dare to follow it.

Such speculation has already arisen in Wu Liang's mind.

He knew that it was absolutely impossible to stop the worms for such a long time with just that "realgar speed bump", not to mention that all creatures in nature have their own unique means of tracking prey, and the worms are more advanced than ordinary creatures.

It would be even less possible for them to get rid of a little evil thing so easily.

Moreover, the owner of the tomb probably doesn't want these bugs to run into his main tomb and cause trouble.

But this is just his guess after all, and it is better not to say anything until there is no conclusion, so as not to make everyone think wildly and affect morale.

No matter what the reason is, it's a good thing that the worms haven't followed for the time being. At least it will allow them to explore this tomb with more peace of mind, especially this weird bronze coffin.

Thinking like this.

Wu Liang used a little more force on his hands and used a copper dagger to pry the gap at the edge of the bead wider. When no abnormality was found, he finally pried it out.

Only then did everyone see clearly.

This so-called "bead" is nothing more than a 5-centimeter-thick piece of metal, like a small disguised lid.

Under this small cover, there is a circular hole about 10 centimeters in diameter.

The hole completely penetrated the coffin lid and led directly to the interior of the bronze coffin.

Unfortunately, the hole was still a bit small. Even if Wu Liang brought the Suihou Pearl to the mouth of the hole, he still couldn't see clearly what was inside the coffin, which was still pitch black.

"Old sir, what do you think about this matter?"

Wu Liang looked at the hole for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to ask Yu Ji for his opinion first. When it came to his experience, no one here could compare with him.

"Why does this coffin have such a hole? Maybe I am ignorant and have never heard of such a custom."

Yu Ji also said very strangely, but then he frowned and added, "But I heard that in some places there is the custom of moving graves or moving bones, so when they are buried, they usually move the tomb or the coffin.

The back door is left open to facilitate the relocation of the tomb or the removal of bones in the future. This hole may also be the joint where the bronze coffin is opened... But this is just my guess. I can't count it. Please think twice, sir."

"back door?"

Yu Ji's ambiguous statement immediately provided Wu Liang with a new direction of thinking.

Maybe Yu Ji’s guess is right!

Wu Liang quickly thought of the entrance to this mausoleum.

Although the entrance of this mausoleum is protected by an almost invincible "Yun Yang", the entrance is only made of a bronze plate that can be easily opened after the "Yun Yang" is eliminated.

This move is obviously suspected of "leaving a backdoor".

After all, the tombs that Wu Liang had robbed before were all sealed tightly, and it would take a lot of effort to dig them open. It has never been so easy to enter the tomb as this time.

If this is the case, it is understandable that this bronze coffin has a back door that can be easily opened.

Perhaps the State of Qi had the custom of moving graves or moving bones, or perhaps Qi Aigong's brother or family members were not very satisfied with the Feng Shui when burying him, and would move the grave or move the bones in the future.

It's a bone transplant plan.
