Chapter 970

"Then how do you know what's inside?"

"You don't care what it contains. It could be grain seeds, a dead person's hair and nails, or a piece of clothing."

"Don't worry about this for now. Where's the shovel? It's for prying out the sarcophagus."

"The shovel is in my hand." Brother Yu said.

I walked to the edge of the cave entrance, rushed down and shouted: "Xiaoxuan, you are down there! Take care of your head!"

"I know!" Xiaoxuan shouted.

Taking it from Brother Yu, I turned the cyclone shovel over, found a gap and inserted it under the stone slab.

Then I reached out and pressed down, but it didn't press, it was too heavy.

"Just do it."

Ah Chun helped with the flashlight.

Brother Yu, me, Bean Sprouts, the three of us work together.

The covering stone moved.

There was a harsh friction sound between stones, and the heavy stone slab was moved bit by bit by us.

I lowered my headlamp and looked inside the coffin.

The terrain here is high and there is no water. The inside of the coffin is dry. First, we see some rotten strips. These piled strips are very thick and may be old silk fabrics.

It was weathered and shattered when touched by hand, making it impossible to pick it up.

Pulling these things aside, I saw some palm-sized jade bis, jade huangs, finger rings, and jade pieces.

The jade is of high quality, especially the two pieces of jade with drum-nail patterns. Because the sarcophagus was not stained with soil or water, there is no clear color at all on the jade.

I wiped it with my sleeve and saw that it was the same as the one made two days ago. It was watery, oily, and naturally oxidized. It made people unable to believe that it was something made more than two thousand years ago.

"there!"

"There's another one over there!"

Dou Sprout looked excited.

He rummaged around with the shovel and picked up one in almost a few seconds.

You know, there are very few ancient jades buried in the earth that are not clear.

Those with clear colors were considered second-rate in the past, but now more and more people have spare money to collect them, and the kind of ancient jade that is full of dirt and clear water is gradually being hyped up. Collect by the whole people, we don’t steal what they collect. Believe me, there is no hand-me-down of this kind of stuff. Don’t listen to people’s bragging. They are all taken from the coffins of dead people.

I put the things in my pocket and searched carefully with a flashlight to see if I could find any copper or jade seals.

The seals that appear on coffins are all personal seals. During the Warring States Period, epitaphs did not appear. Epitaphs first appeared in the early Han Dynasty and became popular in the Song Dynasty. They were the identity cards of the tomb owners.

At this time, there are generally only three ways to confirm the name of the tomb owner. If these three ways are not available, it is basically impossible to determine who the tomb owner is.

These three are respectively.

Inside the coffin, there is a personal seal placed close to the deceased. It is usually placed in the middle of the coffin. This kind of portable seal has eyes and can be hung on the waist with a rope.

There are also inscriptions carved on bronze vessels.

The last thing is the bamboo slip record that can be preserved.

Only the tombs in the south that are soaked in water have a probability of a few thousandths that the bamboo slips can be preserved. The Mawangdui bamboo slips in Changsha and the Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger bamboo slips in Hubei are all in the south.

I took a headlamp and searched for a long time, but I didn't see any imprints on my body, nor did I find the bones of the tomb owner. As long as you see the personal seal, you can determine which important figure in history is buried here.

There were some wooden burial objects that were rotten to pieces. Brother Yu was touching them there. He suddenly showed me and asked me what they were.

I took a flashlight to look at it and saw that what he was holding was just like the Thousand Eyes Bodhi now, but it was made of white jade.

I told him: "Brother Yu, what you are holding is a gang plug, also called Qiao Zhu."

"It's strange...the presence of this thing means that there was a corpse lying in this coffin. Could it be that it was really rotten and there was nothing left?"

Before Brother Yu could react, he rubbed it back and forth in his hand and said, "Cylinder plug? I think this is a good thing. It's smooth. How about I go back and drill a hole in it and hang it around my neck." He also said to Ah Haru compared.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you all look at me like this?"

Brother Yu looked at Achun's face and suddenly understood. He cursed and threw the Qiao Pearl out.

"Why?"

"What is this?"

Dou Sprout seemed to see something, so he grabbed it and lifted it up.

It was strands of white hair.

Dou Sprout didn't know, he grabbed his hair and lifted it up.

Unexpectedly, under these white hairs, there is also a dead skull.
