Seeing that something was wrong with Xiao Bai's state, Qin Hai quickly walked to Xiao Bai's side and asked in a low voice: "Apprentice, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Hearing Qin Hai's concern, Xiao Bai nodded slightly.
"The mark on my heart is a little itchy. It seems that after this is over, I will go back to the imperial capital early to have a look."
"Teacher, I'm going to stay aside for a while. Please call me after they finish cleaning the ebony coffin and officially prepare to open the coffin."
Seeing that Xiao Bai was in poor condition, Qin Hai hurriedly said: "Okay, you go ahead and have a good rest in the village. These coffins will need to be cleaned for a while. I guess the coffin opening may have to wait until evening."
"I took a quick look just now. The pattern on the surface of this bronze coffin is quite rusty. It may need to be processed urgently first, and then we will consider opening the coffin when everything is ready."
After turning around and leaving the scene, and walking back to the small restaurant in the village, Xiao Bai felt a little more comfortable.
When he came to the bathroom and closed the door, Xiao Bai stood in front of the mirror and unbuttoned his shirt.
Those damn insect poisons seemed to be activated by something, becoming more restless, and the color of the totem in his heart seemed to be a little heavier than yesterday.
What the fuck is this bug.
After cursing secretly, Xiao Bai felt the discomfort in his chest slowly subside, and then walked out of the bathroom.
"Hey, little brother, why are you constipated at such a young age after staying in the toilet for so long?"
As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, Xiao Bai heard the teasing lady proprietor of the small restaurant laughing.
After eating here every day for a few days, the proprietress has become very familiar with the group of people who came to the archaeological excavation.
After all, the revenue in these few days alone has exceeded her store's revenue in the past two months.
Hearing the teasing from the landlady, Xiao Bai was not willing to be outdone and joked: "Haha, not really. Maybe I eat here every day and my stomach is broken?"
"Ouch."
"Brother, please don't talk nonsense. I am counting on these archaeological team men to eat. I buy the vegetables every day, and they are all very fresh."
"Okay, what do you want to eat? Since you are here alone, you should have time to start a small stove."
"..."
After lunch, Xiao Bai felt a lot more comfortable. However, since his master Qin Hai hadn't sent him a message yet, it was natural that the archaeological team was still cleaning the bronze coffin and had not officially opened the coffin.
Lying on the lounge chair outside the shop, basking in the sun, I checked my phone for a while, and searched for Yunling Insect Gu but found nothing.
Opening the system task panel in his mind, Xiao Bai was a little surprised to find that the system tasks released a few days ago still did not show that the task was completed.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Bai guessed that the system would not settle the task until all protective excavations of the ancient tomb were completed.
It was night before I knew it.
After a simple dinner, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that his master hadn't sent him a message yet.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't take so long to clean the surface of the bronze coffin and perform simple preservative treatment.
But now the sky is getting darker, and it's not finished yet.
Arriving at the scene again, Xiao Bai found Qin Hai's location in the dim light.
"Master, why hasn't this been settled yet?"
Seeing Xiao Bai return to his side, Qin Hai sighed softly.
"Apprentice, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
"Hey, actually the exterior treatment of this bronze coffin was completed around four o'clock in the afternoon."
"But now the archaeological team has encountered a new problem. The coffin lid is tightly sealed and they don't know how to open it."
Hearing Qin Hai's words, Xiao Bai couldn't help but be stunned.
Can't open the coffin lid?
You must know that the people in the tomb at this moment are all top-notch archaeologists, and all of them have experienced the excavation of many types of tombs.
Now I don’t even know how to open the coffin lid.
Seeing Xiao Bai's doubtful look on life, Qin Hai added another sentence: "You weren't here this afternoon, so you don't know anything."
"You should still remember the eight masks on the side of the coffin. Speaking of which, we were very shocked. These eight masks can all slide up and down in parallel. It should be some kind of mechanism. Only when all eight masks are adjusted to the appropriate position, Only then can the lid of this coffin be opened."
"What?"
Hearing Qin Hai's words, Xiao Bai was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.
He had seen the machine box before, but he had never heard of or seen the technology of the machine box used on such a huge bronze coffin.
"Could the eight masks be related to gossip?"
Hearing Xiao Bai's murmur, Qin Hai shook his head again and said.
"I don't know, but some of them should have thought of this problem, but it seems unlikely. After all, they have been trying for three hours now and still haven't been able to solve the mystery of these eight masks."
"That's it..."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Bai suddenly spoke again.
"Master, I want to go down and see the bronze coffin."
Hearing this, Qin Hai was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, since you discovered this ancient tomb first, it shouldn't be a problem for you to go down and have a look."
"You put on your headlamp gloves first, and I'll go talk to the person in charge."
After a while.
When he arrived at the tomb, Xiao Bai had a clear view of the tomb chamber where the coffins were placed.
From the top, he could only see the area near the coffin. Only then did Xiao Bai realize that the area of the tomb was much larger than what he had seen from above.
Without checking the coffin immediately, Xiao Bai first walked around the tomb and observed the murals carved on the walls of the tomb.
"one two three……"
"Seven, eight, nine."
After looking at a circle of wall carvings, Xiao Bai looked at the top of the tomb. There was nothing special about the top of the tomb.
Why are there nine different faces on the wall carving? There are clearly eight masks on the coffin.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai's brain was spinning rapidly, constantly recalling what he had just seen on the wall sculpture.
eight.
Nine.
"Nine!"
After a while.
Xiao Bai suddenly realized something.
Yes! The wall carvings depict wars between tribes.
Since it is a war, there will naturally be a winner.
And this winner should naturally suppress all the other eight people under him.
This means that the three-dimensional gold sculpture on the coffin lid represents the owner of the tomb, while the other eight masks only represent his defeated generals.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai ran to the wall sculpture in a few steps again.
I looked carefully along the side again.
Just as he had thought before, among the nine faces in the wall sculpture, one wore a mask that was very similar to the three-dimensional statue on the coffin lid, and the other eight faces also wore masks.
Therefore, maybe as long as we can tell the order in which the other eight faces were defeated, we can open the coffin.
The nine characters that Xiao Bai just shouted out without a doubt quickly attracted the attention of the experts who were helpless at the moment.
"Xiao Xiao, what's wrong? Did you find anything?"
