However, due to some reasons, this plan was not put into action in the end, so Qi Aigong stayed in this place forever...

If this is the case.

This hole, which is ten centimeters in diameter, is most likely the "back door" to open the bronze coffin.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang thought of the six hexagonal metal pillars on the side of the bronze coffin. The principle of that thing does look very similar to the lock pillars on the security doors of later generations...

Of course, this does not mean that without such a "back door", Wu Liang would not be able to open the bronze coffin.

If there is no way to lift or pry it open, he can also transport it out and order craftsmen to melt it open with fire.

Or you can just find a cliff and throw it down from the top. The huge impact force should be able to deform the bronze coffin and break it.

However, neither method can ensure that the contents of the bronze coffin are safe.

If all the contents inside were destroyed, it would be meaningless to him whether the coffin was opened or not, and there would be no need to work on the coffin, right?

"If so..."

The more Wu Liang thought about it, the more he suspected that the "back door" mechanism to open the bronze coffin was inside the coffin. If he wanted to open it easily, he had to put his hand into the circular hole.

But even he wouldn't dare to try this easily.

No one knows what's inside this coffin. It's like a huge scary blind box. Compared with the scary things on the surface, this kind of blind box that can't be seen but can only be touched will give people a terrible feeling.

People bring greater psychological pressure and infinitely amplify the fear they originate from.

It's okay if you can't touch anything, but if you really touch something, even the most ordinary thing can scare people to death.

I thought about it for a moment.

On the contrary, Wu Liang felt more and more that the "back door" theory was very possible, and he had to give it a try.

then.

He first turned the engineering shovel at hand upside down, inserted the wooden handle into the hole, and deliberately rotated the engineering shovel a few times inside, gently poking the places where the wooden handle could touch.

There doesn't seem to be any abnormal feedback. At least it is certain that there are no living creatures inside, and there are no mechanisms that may hurt people.

Under this situation, Wu Liang felt a lot more at ease.

However, he still didn't dare to put his arm in rashly, so he took out the "Silkworm God Treasure Silk" he carried with him and ordered Bai Jingjing, who was ingenious, to weave a small net bag.

Then he put the "Suihou Pearl" into a small net bag and hung it into the bronze coffin along the hole.

This method works quite well.

As the "Suihou Pearl" hung down, Wu Liang was finally able to see part of the coffin clearly through the holes.

The first thing you see is a piece of luxurious silk cloth. From the raised outline of the silk cloth, you can judge that what is covered under the cloth should be a humanoid corpse.

Because this hole is directly facing the crotch of the corpse.

You can clearly see the outline of the two legs extending downward, and this piece of fabric is a fat skirt for the lower body that was popular in the Spring and Autumn Period. The scientific name in later archaeological circles was "Rao Jinsui Skirt", which was a symbol of the nobility of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Standard men's clothing.

besides.

Wu Liang also saw the wide sleeves placed on both sides of the crotch. The sleeves also had a raised outline. Judging from the outline, it should be the hands and arms hidden in them?

"this……"

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang's conscience suddenly started to beat again.

"History of Qi" records that Duke Ai of Qi was cooked and killed, and it was impossible to leave a complete body. However, judging from the current observation, it is obvious that what was buried in this bronze coffin was a human being with hands and feet.

The complete corpse... This is obviously a question worth pondering.

Who is buried here?

Isn’t it Duke Ai of Qi?

Because Wu Liang can now be regarded as "peeping through a tube", even with Suihou Pearl lighting, what can be seen through this hole can only be so large, so he can only temporarily reserve his opinions on the questions in his heart.

But thankfully.

From what he could see so far, apart from the "humanoid silhouette" covered in silk, he didn't see anything else weird.

Perhaps you could risk sticking your hand in and groping around?

If there is really a mechanism hidden inside that can open the "back door", the bronze coffin can be easily opened to find out...

When this idea came to him, Wu Liang's heart was already beating fast, and even his palms and vest broke into a cold sweat unconsciously.

He is only a human being, not a god without emotions and desires.

Although he thought it was necessary to explore like this and had a preliminary inspection of the situation inside the coffin, he would inevitably feel a little uneasy if he really had to put his hand into this unknown "blind box" specially used to place the dead.

nervous.

"How about your talented and wise brother?"

Cao Ang didn't know what Wu Liang saw, so he couldn't help but asked curiously.
