"Empty box? Are you kidding me?"
Lin Yi's expression changed, and he held up a flashlight and shined it on the box painted with black and red paint.
"If you don't believe me, see for yourself. If this box is full of things, how much can it be?"
Wang Qiang stood up and made way for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi stepped forward and squatted down, carefully studying the large boxes containing the funerary objects.
The eight upper and lower corners of the box are covered with fine copper leather, and are polished and rounded with tools to avoid hurting people. This shows that the workmanship is very exquisite and the seams are tight. The material selection of the box must be extraordinary.
The lock is also made of fine copper with a moiré pattern, but it is not locked.
"No, these things should all be locked and sealed, and then the keys should be put into the queen's coffin along with the queen's treasures and gold books. How can the lock be opened?"
Qian Sheng's heart suddenly went cold when he saw the lock.
Lin Yi grabbed the lock and turned it upwards.
The heavy box lid was lifted, and it was empty inside.
"How about it, am I right?"
Lin Yi was unwilling to give in and approached another box again. The lock was still open. When he opened the lid of the box, it was still empty inside.
"Brother Lin, these few bites are also empty."
Bai Lu and Fifth Brother rummaged through it from back to front. The boxes they opened were all empty.
"Open it, open it all!"
Lin Yi gave an order, and the five people worked together to open all the twenty-four black and red lacquered boxes that were buried with them. Surprisingly, every one of the more than twenty boxes was empty, let alone valuable burial objects.
Even the "Da Shun Tong Bao" issued by the Onishi regime was not seen.
"This damn old bastard has fooled us all. I can see it. This guy is just trying to make a fool of himself, and he's putting on a big show, but he actually doesn't have any money in his pocket.
I said to Lao Lin, let’s not waste time here, let’s just raise the coffin! "
While Wang Qiang was talking, he had already taken out several rolls of paracord and locks from his backpack.
Everyone also focused their attention on Lin Yi.
"Coffin raising!"
Upon hearing Lin Yi's order, Wang Qiang, Qian Sheng and Bai Lu immediately began to make preparations and tied all the knots.
The coffin chamber will not be sealed until the rightful owner has been laid to rest. As long as it can be opened, it means that there has not yet been a layman inside.
Lin Yi leaned on the edge of Queen Chen's coffin and climbed to the top. He put on a gas mask, took the diamond umbrella in his hand, and tied the knot on the lid of the coffin.
He yelled: "Get rich by raising the coffin!"
Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng below also replied: "Get rich by raising a coffin!"
Then the four people worked together, and the heavy coffin cover was lifted.
After finding the balance point, I tied a slip knot in the rope below, and the coffin cover stood tilted on the side of the coffin room.
Lin Yi turned on the flashlight and shined it into the coffin.
It was actually empty inside, with not even a decent burial object.
Wang Qiang knew something was wrong when he saw Lin Yi squatting at the top of the coffin chamber for a long time without getting down.
"What's going on, Old Lin? Is it empty again?"
Lin Yi said nothing, dropped to the ground with one hand, and said something to the three of them:
"Let it go. It's an empty coffin with nothing in it."
After saying that, he climbed straight to the top of the largest coffin.
Several people worked together to put the coffin back into place. Wang Qiang swung it hard and threw the rope buckle to Lin Yi.
"This is our last hope. If it's still empty, then our trip is really in vain."
After Lin Yi said this, he stood on the top of the coffin, but he hesitated in his hands.
Qian Sheng wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he opened his mouth but did not say anything.
These twenty-four large boxes and the queen's coffin are all empty.
The probability that there is something in Zhang Xianzhong's coffin can only be very small. At this time, what is the use of talking about it?
"Old Lin, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor. If this place is empty again, then it's time for us to go on this trip in vain and accept our fate! Let's drive!"
Lin Yi sighed secretly and reached out to fix the rope lock on the coffin cover.
"Lift the coffin and make a fortune!"
"Get promoted and make a fortune!"
Several people worked together to lift the lid of the largest coffin. Sure enough, it was still empty.
Not to mention crowns, court clothes, jade seals, and seals, not even a broken straw mat was seen. Everything around him was as clean as if a dog had licked it.
Seeing this scene in front of me, a sense of loss came to my heart.
He jumped off the top of the coffin, pulled off the gas mask without saying a word, and just waved to a few people, meaning that he could put it down.
Fifth Brother was the first to come up and handed Lin Yi a cigarette.
"Brothers, don't get angry. We are not here to look for new clues. With Fifth Brother here, I can win anything!"
Lin Yi smiled wryly, took the cigarette from Brother Wu, and lit it.
Sitting on the ground leaning against the coffin bed.
"Fifth brother, you don't know something. In our line of work, there is a rule, that is, you cannot go out empty-handed. And you also know that we are competing with those from the south to test our skills.
It took a lot of effort to get in here, but when we opened it, it was all empty, and all our previous efforts were in vain. "
"Old Lin, you can't say that. It doesn't matter whether you are empty-handed or not. It really doesn't work. Let's carry a box and go away later. The third child just saw it. This box is also made of fine golden nanmu. It is valuable."
After Wang Qiang finished his work, he immediately came over to sit down and let Lin Yi relax.
"Yes, brother, we have found the right place, and we have found the right location. The result is that these coffins and boxes are all empty, and there is nothing we can do about it, right? Think about it again, we have found the right place, and we have not been able to find it. With this 'Royal Treasure of the King of the West', wouldn't it be even harder to find it in the Southern Sect?
In any case, we are not at a disadvantage, right? "
Seeing the two brothers around him coming to comfort him, Lin Yi was a little uncomfortable.
"Okay! I don't want to be hypocritical anymore. What you said is right. Our direction is right, but the result is unsatisfactory. We have nothing to do with this matter, and they have nothing to do with it. Even if neither of us can find this Daxi With Wang Yubao's seal, at least we have found this old bastard's lair, and our chances of winning are still very high."
"Yes, Brother Lin, if you can think of this, that's for the best. When we, Mr. Chen, decide on this matter, we will definitely consider these factors.
It doesn't matter whether you can find this thing or not, as long as you win this game, it'll be fine, right? "
After everyone's persuasion, Lin Yi suddenly became enlightened.
In fact, he was not afraid of returning empty-handed, he was afraid that he would fail to win the game and upset the two gentlemen.
"Brother Lin, I think we should go out and look for clues again."
Bai Lu suddenly spoke.
"Did you discover anything?"
Lin Yi stood up suddenly and asked.
Bai Lu put away her camera and shined a flashlight on the ground. Everyone looked over and found several shallow ruts on the floor of the dormitory, with footprints on both sides.
