Chapter 2504: Retreat to Advance
After getting it off, several people seemed a little out of breath.
"Good guy, this thing is really heavy." Huang Hao complained.
"Yes, this is at least over 600 kilograms." Guan Yun also wiped his sweat.
Wang Jinpeng laughed beside him: "Without a strong man like me, you couldn't even handle this weight."
"Fat man, don't be too proud. Even if you were here, it would probably be a struggle." Huang Hao was already out of breath, leaning against the tree trunk and said to Wang Jinpeng.
After just a few minutes of exercise, he was already sweating profusely and looked very weak.
"Fortunately, I just pushed it away. If I lifted it up, it would probably be impossible without a crane." Guan Yun said, he had never seen such a heavy copperware before.
A coffin lid alone weighs six to seven hundred kilograms, and the entire coffin cannot be measured in tons.
Lin Ran's eyes were attracted by the coffin in the coffin.
In the bronze coffin, lies an extremely exquisite wooden coffin.
There are a lot of jade, pearls, agate, emerald, ruby, everything on the surface.
It is just like a jewelry display rack, and it is arranged very neatly and the combination is very beautiful.
If you look carefully, you will find that they are arranged in a special shape.
From its perspective, it is a semicircle above and a rectangle below.
This arrangement looks like mushrooms at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to correspond to the ancient round sky and square places.
In ancient times, humans had no way to explore space and had no idea that the earth was round.
In their eyes, the earth is like a bowl turned upside down on the flat ground.
As for the moon, there are other opinions, and no one would consider it in a circular direction.
There were so many gems inlaid on the surface of the coffin that Huang Hao's eyes widened when he saw them.
He wished he could just pick out two pieces with a dagger and hide them in his pocket.
As an archaeologist, Lin Ran's first consideration was naturally not the issue of value.
The coffin in front of me looks a bit like the three-layer coffin design from the Warring States Period.
"Let's pry open this coffin as well." Lin Ran said.
"Really? Can we take this coffin lid back?" Huang Hao's eyes flashed, and his hands were rubbing back and forth excitedly.
"Let's talk about it later." Lin Ran sighed. Huang Hao was right. There were so many gems on the coffin lid. It would be too difficult to remove them all at once. He would probably have to take them back to study for a long time.
But that's under very optimistic circumstances.
Now, the coffin has not been opened, and the previous muffled sound in the coffin has been diluted by the joy brought by the discovery of the jewelry.
Only Lin Ran was still worried about this matter.
The coffin on this floor is still about two and a half meters high, and it is already so luxurious.
The innermost layer should be more valuable.
Xu Ning took out the dagger again and worked with Guan Yun to heat it.
On this basis, the dagger was inserted into the gap again.
This time the gap was narrower, and during the opening process, Xu Ning moved more cautiously.
What was used this time was not fire paint, but a layer of gold-like threads on the inside that peeled off after being heated.
After exposing part of it, Xu Ning tried to peel off the cocoon directly and pulled the gold thread out along the edge. This thing was not easy to get out, but it was very tough and he could pull hard.
It took a long time, getting easier and easier later on, and eventually the connected linear object peeled away from the wood.
Lin Ran glanced at his watch. Two hours had passed.
After peeling off this linear object, you can feel that the coffin lid is loose.
Xu Ning and Guan Yun worked together to push the coffin lid again.
This time the coffin lid was much easier than before, and the two of them could take it off.
Next, the innermost coffin.
It is a wooden coffin made of mahogany.
Paint the pattern on the surface.
Patterns are much easier to understand than inscriptions.
Not only Lin Ran, but also Liu Jingfeng and Huang Hao gathered around and observed the paintings on the coffin.
There are several vertical lines dividing it, which is a very standard narrative painting.
The painting turned out to be a burial scene.
A group of farmers planted a tree. Soon, the tree grew rapidly and turned into a giant tree.
After the big tree grew, it absorbed all the farmers and turned them into its own nutrients.
At this moment, a group of brave warriors suddenly appeared and attacked the big tree.
Cut off all the vines of the tree and cut a big hole in the tree.
Immediately afterwards, these people carried the coffin into the tree hole.
Afterwards, all the soldiers knelt outside the tree, showing respect.
Finally, this group of warriors cut off all the excess parts of the tree, turning the tree into what it looks like today.
And this tree, shown in the painting, reaches directly to the top, connecting the sun, moon and stars.
"What is this?" Liu Jingfeng looked a little confused and didn't know why.
There was no description of this paragraph in the history he had learned.
Then he turned to Lin Ran, who also shook his head.
History has always been based on the excavation of ancient tombs and ancient ruins, and the study of the cultural relics and books inside.
No matter how knowledgeable he is, he cannot create history out of thin air.
What's more, as a legendary ancient tomb, it is impossible for Lin Ran to know the story behind it. At least in the world he lived in before, there was no information record of this type of ancient tomb.
Lin Ran felt a slight shaking in his bag at this time. He took the bag off and found that it was the wooden box that he had taken off earlier.
The wooden box seemed to resonate with the coffin, but only for a short time before calmness returned.
Lin Ran carefully placed the wooden box and did not tell anyone else about the situation.
Except for Huang Hao, who was happy when he saw a large number of gems on the ground, most people were worried at this time. It would be better not to tell them any more weird things.
Xu Ning and Guan Yun were already preparing to burn daggers and conduct the third round of coffin opening.
But at this moment, Lin Ran suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Xu Ning turned to look at Lin Ran. He was clearly the one who suggested opening the coffin. Now that he's saying stop, he might have made other discoveries.
Lin Ran said: "Are you feeling a little hungry and tired?"
They heard strange noises in the coffin just now. There is no doubt that after opening the coffin, there must be something waiting for them inside. And based on the weirdness of the ancient tomb, the situation inside must be dangerous.
They had experienced hallucinations before, and then opened the coffin again, and their physical strength was almost exhausted to the extreme.
It's just that because of the high concentration, I ignored this point.
As the brains of the team, Lin Ran had to prepare mentally for them in advance.
Xu Ning glanced at Lin Ran and said, "I'm fine."
