Chapter 831 Cold Jade Coffin!
Lin Ran put on gloves and touched the tomb door. There was still some liquid that had not dried completely, but it was probably not a hallucinogenic substance, just an ordinary antiseptic material.
With no one to help, Lin Ran had to rely on a Luoyang shovel to dig out the wrapping layer.
Lin Ran no longer cared about the burial objects inside. He only felt that saving people was important, so he accelerated the pace of excavation.
The anti-corrosion layer lost its protection and was quickly dug up.
After prying off the anti-corrosion layer and seeing no burial objects, Lin Ran picked up the shovel and started shoveling out the soil.
Time is money. One person finally dug out the coffin after half an hour.
This was a huge coffin, about seven meters long and wide. It was the largest coffin Lin Ran had ever seen.
The outer layer of the coffin is made of thousand-year-old cedar wood, which also has a slight fragrance.
It was the treatment of an emperor's mausoleum, but when it was about to open, Lin Ran had a headache.
He is quite strong, but the coffin lid is very heavy, and it may be difficult for one person to lift it.
Now that there was no other way, Lin Ran found the hammer head from the archaeological team member's backpack and started working.
Generally speaking, there are three layers of coffins outside the coffin.
There are funerary objects between each layer of coffins.
The first coffin was pried open, and there was only some charcoal inside, which seemed to be used as a desiccant to absorb water.
When the second layer was pried open, under the influence of the lighting, the coffin glowed golden.
The coffin was completely filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
The ancients were really willing to spend a lot of money on funerary objects. These gold and silver jewelry are all huge in size and outstanding in style. You can tell at a glance that they are of the highest quality.
But Lin Ran had no time to worry about money now, so he continued his coffin-opening work.
The third layer of the coffin was knocked open, and red light emitted from inside.
The funerary objects on this level are all kinds of brocades, with strange shapes, like square scarves, and various patterns embroidered with gold threads.
The reflected red light and golden light intersect, giving it a dreamlike feeling.
Continuing to open the coffin, another golden bowl and plate was discovered.
The funerary objects inside involve all aspects, which shows that the life of the tomb owner was not an ordinary luxury.
Lin Ran roughly estimated that most of the cultural relics inside could not be enjoyed by ordinary Mongolian nobles.
Unfortunately, the archaeologists were all lying on the ground, and Lin Ran had no time to study slowly.
After three hours of hard work, Lin Ran finally pried open the last layer of the coffin.
The interior of the coffin is revealed.
As soon as the coffin was opened, colorful lights and shadows were reflected from the coffin, making Lin Ran unable to open his eyes for a moment.
He quickly rubbed his eyes, removed the light, and replaced it with a flashlight.
I saw that the bottom of the coffin was covered with a piece of silk painting.
Coffin covering.
The moment the coffin covering was lifted, Lin Ran's heartbeat accelerated.
He was a bold man, but going down to the tomb and opening the coffin alone was still an extremely exciting thing.
Moreover, since entering this tomb, he has been encountering various strange things, and now everything will be revealed.
But after untying the cloth, Lin Ran was stunned.
Trapezoidal coffin?
It looks exactly like the coffins used in vampire and mummy scenes in European and American movies, but in China, such coffins are rare.
Lin Ran reached out and touched it. This was not a wooden coffin, but a jade coffin!
It's just that the jade has poor permeability, so you can't see clearly what's going on inside.
He took off his gloves and made a bold attempt to touch the coffin lid with his fingers.
A cold feeling came, as if touching ice.
It confirmed Lin Ran’s guess!
This is the so-called cold jade, but what does "cold jade is born" mean?
The coffin made of cold jade has extremely poor thermal conductivity and can play an antiseptic role in the cold environment of the mountains.
But why the trapezoidal design?Is it for some kind of ceremony?
At this moment, the flashlight in Lin Ran's hand began to flicker on and off, and the power was seriously low.
The same goes for the lighting next to him. He threw away the flashlight and prepared to go back and pick up a new one.
At this moment, he discovered a strange scene.
I saw that in the main tomb that should have been dark, the surrounding walls lit up with light.
Bit by bit, as if fireflies were flying, Lin Ran was startled by the sudden scene.
But he quickly calmed down, because these lights were not from the wall, but from the jade coffin.
This is actually a coffin made of Night Pearl material!
Such a huge luminous pearl can be called a national treasure.
Lin Ran didn't bother to go back to look for the flashlight, and shoveled twice on the jade coffin with the shovel he brought.
Some powder actually slipped down.
Looking at the powder, Lin Ran smiled.
This may be the key to "the one with cold jade survives"!
He applied some powder and returned to the area where the archaeological team member had fainted.
I saw that the eyes of some archaeological team members were gradually opening, but their eyes were dull, and their expressions were becoming increasingly ferocious, as if they were trying to reach out to stop someone.
I was originally worried about any side effects, but now I had to act like a doctor and poured some powder into the corner of his mouth.
After dealing with the four archaeological team members, Lin Ran wiped his sweat. He did not expect to have to engage in strenuous physical activities in the cold tomb chamber.
His clothes were almost soaked, and he didn't continue to move anymore. He only felt a little cold.
"Sneeze." Lin Ran sneezed.
Then, the archaeological team member who had just raised his hand shivered and immediately sat up from the ground.
He looked around blankly, then stared at Lin Ran, his eyes full of fear.
"You're awake." Lin Ran smiled slightly. It seemed that he was right in his bet.
However, the archaeological team members kept retreating and shouted: "Don't come over! Don't come over!"
He fell to the ground, still pressed against the wall.
Lin Ran looked behind him in confusion, but did not see anything strange.
Is he really crazy?Lin Ran was a little unbelievable.
Fortunately, at this time, the other three archaeological team members who had taken the powder also woke up. They also had their own fears. One female team member shouted loudly: "Where is that spider monster?"
"Don't be so loud, you will be discovered by Zongzi!"
Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh when he heard their shouts.
"What you just saw was an illusion. I just fed you the antidote. This is the real world, don't be afraid." Lin Ran said, then divided the powder into several portions and called them over.
The four archaeological team members looked at each other, but in the end they believed Lin Ran and gathered around.
"Pour these powders into the mouths of the fainted people, and give priority to those who raise their hands. They are the most dangerous patients."
After Lin Ran's explanation, the archaeological team members dubiously accepted this point of view and then split up to act.
Lin Ran also kept a handful, he was going to save his team members.
Liu Jingfeng and the others were lying in a mess, completely unlike their usual appearance, but some of them had turned red and their expressions were gradually becoming stiff.
"I'm here to save you." Lin Ran smiled. This hallucinogen should be the last level of the mausoleum.
