Chapter 206 Fear
That cold winter month, when we opened the stone gate of the underground palace and slowly moved the flashlight, we were shocked by the scene in front of us.
What is the purpose of archaeology? It is to finally discover these secrets hidden underground for thousands of years.
Douyazi looked up at the huge bronze bird sculpture in front of him, his mouth wide enough to swallow a whole egg.
A pair of bronze divine bird statues as high as 1.5 meters tall stood on the stone platform. The pair of bronze birds had their wings spread out and their heads were hanging down, as if they were about to fly, and seemed to be waiting for their master to ride, and went to the Western Paradise together.
Behind the bronze bird is a huge granite coffin bed. The coffin bed is carved with nine majestic five-clawed golden dragons. The dragon's bodies are entangled together, the dragon's whiskers flutter, the dragon's head is raised high on the front, and the dragon's eyes are glaring upwards.
Nine is the ultimate number, dragon and five claws are the highest, nine five are the highest...
The flashlight moved, and his eyes moved to the coffin bed, and he suddenly saw a strange coffin!
The coffin is more than two meters long. At first glance, I thought it was made of jade... When I called the flashlight, I reflected a faint green light. This green tiny was like water, flowing slowly on the coffin.
I had never seen this scene before, and my attention was immediately attracted.
What is this?
Jade coffin?
Impossible... No coffin made of pure jade has been found in history.
After two minutes, I took a deep breath and heard him say, "Go up and take a look."
Just a few steps away, when we got closer, Douyazai's entire face was reflected in green.
Brother Yu and Xiaoxuan's faces were the same. I reached out to see my hands and they turned half green.
I turned off the flashlight and the green is gone.
When I turned on the flashlight, I found it again, which means it was caused by reflection.
Douyazi swallowed, stared at him and shouted, "My God! What kind of coffin is this! Is it an emerald coffin? Why is it like this!"
Douyazi excitedly shook my arm hard: "I'm getting rich! We're going to make a fortune, Fengzi!"
In the tomb, you are not allowed to yell, especially when you shout at people's faces. I said to Dou Yazai: "Don't shout, you're fucking quieter."
He stared at the coffin for a long time and said with a serious expression: "This is not a coffin made of pure jade, this is a clay coffin."
After saying that, he hooked his head on the coffin with his fingers, but unexpectedly he lifted up a piece of jade.
The inner layer of this thing is wood, the surface layer is like fish scales, covered with high-quality jade pieces. Then, a special fine nail is used to stick a large number of polished and smooth jade pieces all over the wooden coffin with a special fine nail called "sucking nails".
I knew at that time that only two such nail coffins were unearthed in China, one was dug from the Chu Tomb of Shizishan, and the other was dug from the Han tomb of Mancheng. Later, in 2009, a similar one was dug in Dayun Mountain, Jiangsu.
This kind of cumulative nails and jade coffin is extremely rare, and it is less than a golden jade garment! It cannot be enjoyed by an emperor.
Now, the identity of the tomb owner is about to emerge.
The last emperor Li Yuan.
Once we open the coffin and see that the male corpse is lying, the history book may have to be rewritten. Li Yu lived in the Western Xia period, so why did he use this kind of funeral instrument that was popular in the Han Dynasty? After thinking about it, there is only one reasonable explanation.
Anti-corrosion.
Ancient people believed that lying in this kind of jade coffin could always keep the body from rotting or rotting. There was also the copper bird I just saw, and the polishing process was exactly the same as the large copper cow dug out by the archaeological team in Ningxia imperial tombs in the last century. I felt cold when I touched the coffin with my hand. These were all natural jade characteristics.

Brother Yu ran over quickly, and then he heard a dull rumbling sound from behind him, and ordered the thief hole to collapse.
There were a lot of sacks piled under the tree.
