Everyone nodded. Although Song Siyuan's method had not been used before, it was the most likely method. As the magnetism could not fade, they could not send any metal objects to the funeral platform, and of course they could not open the coffin.
"Then just listen to what this girl wants."
Later, Yue Guanchao and the others let go of the boat, walked to the burial pit near the funeral platform, took out the hooks used for mountain climbing, and drew flames from the lamps of the kneeling figurines to cover the hooks. These hooks were made of dark iron and were burned by the fire. It became hotter and hotter after burning, and even the rope was inevitably scalded.
Only when the claws glowed red and steamed like a soldering iron did they release the claws.
Yue Guanchao picked up the bow and arrow. After the hook claw cooled down to the point where the red light disappeared, he immediately pierced the hook claw with the tail of the bow and arrow, bent the bow and aimed the arrow towards the caisson above the funeral platform, and let go.
The hook claws made a rustling sound and flew into the magnetic range of the funeral platform. Everyone near the funeral platform held their breath. The metal was instantly magnetized and was fluttering everywhere in front of you. If you failed, you would have to think of something new. way.
When the hook enters the range of the funeral platform, its speed is indeed affected by the magnetic force. It seems to be twice as slow as if it is passing through a transparent cotton quilt. You can clearly feel that there is some obstacle preventing the hook from continuing to fly upward. This, probably It's the effect of high heat on magnetism.
If it is an unheated hook, it must have been magnetized instantly. It has been caught by the magnetic force and has begun to rotate around the direction of the magnetic force. Although the hook is caught by the magnetic force, it still does not rotate around the magnetic force. After shaking for a few times, it spins with extreme force. He spun several times at a slow speed, grabbed the wooden beam arch on the caisson with a click, and swung the rope downwards.
"Success!"
Yue Guanchao and the others pulled up the ropes in their hands, and the grappling hook hooked onto the wooden beam arch and became extremely strong. Even after pulling it down several times, the hook did not fall off, which showed that the grip was indeed firm.
"Go on, we need at least four hooks to fix the four directions of the coffin. This will also make it easier to open the coffin."
After Sun Tianqi signaled, the other Taoists began to take out their claws and torture them hot in the figurine lamp. They used bows and arrows to fix them in the four directions of the caisson, as if four ropes were hanging from the four sides of the coffin.
Yue Guanchao and Sun Tianqi led two Taoists. The four of them did not wear any metal products at all. They climbed up the caisson by pulling the rope. When the rope was fastened around their waists and they were sure that they would not fall off the rope, they began to carefully observe the hanging cave. coffin.
They were far away from the caisson just now, and the hanging coffin they saw was just a rectangular black box. Now the hanging coffin was less than half a meter away from them, and the specific details of the hanging coffin began to come into their eyes.
The material of the hanging coffin is very similar to that of the painting boat boy they saw. The surface is as black as ink, but here it is more refined. The boy's surface is uneven, like a burnt outer skin. Although the appearance of this hanging coffin is not as flat as The mirror is also regular and smooth, a bit close to the gray tiles of burned paper.
There are silk carvings on the matte black surface that are easily imperceptible. This kind of silk carvings is not relief, nor is it printing or inlay. All images do not pursue realism, just like fingerprints, using changes in fine lines to outline Various totems are produced.
The silk carvings on the four sides of the coffin can be seen as variations of auspicious patterns of blue dragon, white tiger, red bird and black basalt.
Yue Guanchao took advantage of this opportunity and stepped directly onto the coffin. After a brief jolt, the coffin remained motionless and supported his whole body weight. m.
On the coffin lid, the details are much richer than those on the front, back, left, and right. On the outside are silk carvings of cranes and auspicious clouds. When it comes to the inner part, it becomes an auspicious zigzag pattern, until the sun and moon halo pattern begins to appear in the middle. The huge sun and moon totem completely fills the middle.
He went down to the bottom and looked at the bottom of the coffin. The patterns on the bottom were mostly flowers, grass patterns and stone patterns. The entire stone coffin looked simple and unpretentious, but upon closer inspection, one could see the exquisite simplicity in the simplicity.
Yue Guanchao kept observing along the coffin and found the gap between the coffin lid and the body. He took out the brass knife hidden at his waist and stabbed it into the gap. He cut the cover along the coffin. When the gap was opened, he tried As he moved the dagger, there was a loud bang in the coffin lid, and a gap began to appear.
As mentioned before, as long as it is a magnet, it has positive and negative poles. If the gap is exposed in the coffin, the cover will be separated from the entire coffin. This also means that the cover and the coffin will become two different components from the whole. It has new positive and negative poles on the front, rear, left and right.
In this case, the cover automatically separates from the coffin body under the constraints of magnetic force, and gradually moves away from the coffin body. At the same time, after the upward force of the coffin disappears, it also loses the upper and lower magnetic constraints. Although it is still captured by the magnetic force, it is It can only let itself be pulled by the magnetic force of the parallel surface and continue to rotate slightly.
Yue Guanchao took the opportunity to observe the inside of the stone coffin. A noble coffin like this would not only have one layer, but a layer of golden wood appeared inside the stone coffin.
Although it is wood, it actually looks like gold and jade. The outside has been polished very smooth, and a layer of tung oil varnish has been applied, making it as smooth and oily as a mirror. At the same time, the layers of gold threads are also in the translucent paint layer. It sparkles underneath, adding to the texture of gold and stone. When you touch it, the tentacles are cold, not rough, not dry, and very comfortable.
Yue Guanchao had seen this kind of thing countless times, and he could tell at a glance that it was fine golden nanmu from the translucent texture that looked like gold.
"The golden nanmu seems to be the concubine's coffin, but how do we open it?"
Sun Tianqi's worries are indeed justified. When the coffin is rotating, let alone opening the lid of the golden nan coffin, it is not easy to see clearly the patterns on the body. Under the movement, many methods cannot be used.
Yue Guanchao looked at Song Siyuan and waved to her!
From Song Siyuan's point of view, as the coffin lid left the coffin, the sarcophagus continued to rotate, as if being pushed along the axis by an invisible force. She immediately understood what he meant, walked up to the funeral platform, and walked along the axis. A rope also climbed up near the caisson.
After fixing the buckle around her waist, she carefully observed the synchronous rotation of the coffin lid and the coffin. She already understood what was going on and explained to everyone: "It's the coffin lid. After the coffin lid is separated from the coffin, the magnetic force of the coffin body points upward. It's gone, then, only the four sides and downward support are left to maintain the coffin's suspension. Without the upward gravitational force, it becomes unstable, just like a kite with a broken string, being controlled by various winds. wind direction."
"If we want to stabilize the coffin, we have to find a way to restore part of the coffin's gravity." Song Siyuan's eyes lit up and she looked at the coffin: "I have a way. We cover only part of the coffin lid. In this way, the magnetic force will indeed Even if there is shaking, it can ensure that the coffin will not rotate again, which is also convenient for us to operate."
Yue Guanchao understood the idea, and he and the two Taoists pressed the coffin lid above their heads onto the coffin body. As the two fit together, the coffin became stable again.
This time, Yue Guanchao and the others became smarter. They only pushed the coffin lid halfway, revealing the upper part of the coffin body. After the magnetic force changed, the coffin seemed to be pushed up slightly, forming a slight tilt with the feet down and the head up. After the initial experience, The jitter gradually returned to stability.
Yue Guanchao picked up the brass dagger and tilted the golden nanmu coffin lid. It could be seen that the coffin lid was inlaid with magnets on all sides and covered with small rectangular squares. When the coffin lid was pulled out of the coffin, the magnets immediately came into play, attracting the golden nanmu coffin lid and surrounding it. It began to float around, like a coffin board flying around a funeral platform.
At this moment, all the contents contained in the coffin were revealed to the public under the light of candlelight.
Although the golden nanmu is not as wide as the stone coffin, the area inside is not small. It is more than enough for two people to lie side by side in the coffin. In the coffin, a noble lady wearing Zhai clothes made from Song Dynasty can be seen lying in it with a lifelike face.
Although Hu Yunxiu was named a concubine after her death, it was actually just for calendar reasons. Song Qinzong was still young when she died. Based on her age, she was probably between thirty and forty years old.
Yue Guanchao looked carefully at the concubine in front of him. Her age was not much different from what they expected.
This thousand-year-old female corpse is wearing a Zhai dress made in the Song Dynasty, second only to the empress in the harem. The Zhai dress is made of plain gauze. The snow-white collar is slightly embroidered with fine gold threads. If you don't look carefully, you might think it is the golden reflection of the dress. Apart from the single dress, , is an all-in-one robe with high cross-collar and large sleeves.
Such wide-sleeved robes are mostly edged with vermilion satin on the cuffs, collar, and hem. The sides of the garment are slightly wrinkled. On the dark blue satin material, colorful flowers are embroidered with pairs of five-color birds.
All of these clothes were gathered at the mid-waist in a "cross-leaved left fold" fashion. A white jade leather belt could be seen gathering the waist, with bare knees and a large belt hanging underneath. Although they did not see the position of the back waist, they could also see it from the hem of the skirt. Judging from the external things, they are large ribbons, small ribbons, jade rings, and jade pendants.
As for the top of the head, he wears a dragon and phoenix crown with a flower hairpin. In order to show his status as an elder, he also adds temples on both sides of the dragon and phoenix crown, which is full of pearls, greenery, wealth and luxury.
Concubine Hu's hands were slightly clasped over her heart, and it could be seen that she was holding Jin Ruyi in both hands. The extravagant golden light reflected the person's face from being completely bloodless to a slightly yellowish color.
Everyone focused their attention on the face of this thousand-year-old female corpse. Pearl makeup was more popular among aristocratic women in the Song Dynasty. This was a formal makeup popular in the court and among the people. For light makeup, the ladies would use fish cooked in the swim bladder. Glue is used as an adhesive to bond half of the pearls to the temples, dimples, forehead and eyebrows, thus forming pearl makeup.
Although the common people cannot afford pearls, they will cut the clean snow-white fish gill bones into the size of round pearls and stick them on their faces as a fashionable thing.
The concubine Hu in front of her was also wearing pearl makeup. On her snow-white jade face, she could see the curved eyebrows of willow leaves. There was a golden southern pearl between her eyebrows, surrounded by small pearls the size of fish eyes like petals.
The position of the temple is like a crescent moon against a string of pearls, half of the red lips are painted with cinnabar, and the complexion is pale and bloodless. Other than that, his features can be regarded as lifelike, and he does not look like a dead person at all.
Some people died, but not completely...
