Chapter 384 The National Treasure in the Wooden Coffin
The flames of several candles were flickering and burning brightly.
"Yunfeng, be careful, we don't know what's going on here!" Brother Yu glanced at the huge wooden coffin, with a hint of worry on his face.
I have never seen a real copper forbidden object, and now I desperately want to know if it is that thing!
I feel terrified when a living person crawls into a coffin where a dead person lies! But there is no other way. This is the fastest way at the moment.
In order to cover up my nervousness, I pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile, "It's okay, Brother Yu, don't worry, I'm going in for a trip. If something unexpected happens, I'll slap the board hard and you can just pull me out."
At this time, Douyazai said doubtfully, "Fengzi, you have to be very careful when you go in, I'm afraid there is corpse poison in here."
"Go away! You can't say a few auspicious words!" I yelled at Dou Sprout.
It’s more than two thousand years ago! The climate in Qiyang is relatively humid. I don’t believe that the bones of the tomb owner are still there, because the coffins and coffins are all rotten. I judge that the tomb owner has also turned into mud, so it is unlikely that there is corpse poison.
I don't know Aunt Luo's bone-shrinking skills, but climbing up trees and drilling holes is my strong point. After a few final explanations, I put on my headlamp and drilled directly through the hole above the coffin.
Only a handful of people have seen the large-scale coffins of the Chu State. As for the people who have climbed into them, I dare say I am the only one in the world in the past thirty years.
If you have never been inside, you will never be able to imagine the structure inside this large box that looks like a coffin but not a coffin.
After entering, I found that the interior of the wooden coffin was about 1.3 meters high. People could not stand up and had to crawl forward. As soon as I came down, my pants were covered with mud. This kind of mud should be formed by the decay and oxidation of silk fabrics. It exudes a odor.
It has a sour smell and the color looks like shit at first glance.
I didn't look at it. I suppressed my nausea and used a flashlight to look at the "things" Brother Yu and I touched.
I saw that this thing was made of bronze, with its legs facing up, lying in the black mud. There was a rusty bronze tiger standing on the upper part of the legs. I stretched out my hand and thought Pull this thing out of the mud.
So heavy?
No wonder Brother Yu said he couldn't lift it out. I tried it and found that this thing might weigh about a hundred kilograms.
There is a saying in the industry that the bigger and heavier the bronze, the more expensive it will be! Although I haven’t seen the whole picture yet, my heart is pounding hard at this moment.
This thing is almost the same as the Bronze Ban!
About to post
After cleaning it up hard, I finally saw the whole thing.
It is about 1.2 meters long and about 50 centimeters wide. The overall appearance is very similar to the small table used by modern people to drink tea. It has four legs. There is a relief bronze tiger on the upper part of each leg. The tiger's mouth is wide open.
The tiger's head faces the four directions of east, west, north and south respectively.
The central part of this copper taboo is plain and smooth. There are three bulging round holes in the upper part of the center. The function of these three round holes is to put flasks to warm wine. These round holes are more and more beautiful.
The more it means, the higher its value is. It seems to me that among the few dozen copper forbidden objects remaining in China, the most have six holes.
Although the center of this thing is plain, the four corners are carved with a large number of chi dragon patterns with fangs and claws. It can also burn charcoal underneath. I also found a detail. The inside of the copper tiger's body should be connected to the inside of the copper forbidden area. In this way, once the top starts
When the charcoal is burned to warm the wine, smoke will continue to emit from the open mouths of the four bronze tigers.
Bronze ban, warm fine wine, push the cup to change to a tiger blowing smoke.
Two thousand years ago, the extravagant aura of the Wang family's aristocracy instantly hit your face.
Take a deep breath and stop yourself from getting too excited.
This thing should be the highest-level thing I have ever dealt with in my career, except for the Wonderbird! Its scarcity
And its value is no less than that of the jade clothes with golden threads from the Han Dynasty.
The professional salesperson did not lie to us. The point we bought for hundreds of thousands is a national treasure.
At this time, he raised his head and shouted urgently, "How is the situation! Is it a copper ban?"
It can be heard from the tone of the head that it also cares about this thing.
"Yes! It's a copper ban with a head! Or a copper ban with a tiger head and three eyes!"
Before he could speak, he heard Dou Yazai saying anxiously, "Hurry up, Fengzi! The courier is coming! I'll take over!"
My current location is in the east chamber of Muguo. There are dozens of bronze cooking utensils and wine utensils stacked here. Some of the bronze utensils have inscriptions, which means that the owner of the tomb is a man. I didn't have time to study the inscriptions carefully. With the cooperation of other people,
I spent more than an hour clearing away the funerary objects in the east chamber, then turned around and crawled toward the west chamber.
"West" represents the West, that is, the paradise world. According to the burial regulations, the tomb owner will basically live in the west chamber. The burial objects there will definitely be richer, and there may be jade swords, jade seals, jade walls, etc.
But there was no communication between the east and west chambers, and I was blocked by a three-inch-thick cypress board.
This wooden board was made into the shape of a small door by ancient craftsmen. It has a door knocker, door beam, and door lintel. The surface of the small door is painted with a layer of bright anti-corrosion red paint. Due to the time, most of the red paint has peeled off, making it look like
It's like the door is bleeding.
Although it was made to look like a door, the small door between the compartments was dead and could not be pushed open. It could only be broken open violently. I went back to get a hammer and a crutch needle, adjusted my posture, and faced
The small door was slammed down.
The sharp crutch needle penetrated the small door in an instant, and in an instant, a black and smelly thick juice spurted out! It was like piercing a Coke bottle with a nail! I didn't avoid it, and was sprayed directly on my head and face.
"vomit!"
"cough!" I choked on the stench and felt like I had taken a sip of thousand-year-old corpse water. In an instant, my stomach was churning and I was retching.
"What's wrong Yunfeng!"
"No! I'm fine!"
"Ahem! I have nothing to do with my head! I'm choking!" I coughed and shouted.
I wiped my face and looked at the small red-painted door in front of me. I became furious. Ignoring the black water that was still flowing out, I punched four more eyes with a crutch needle. Then I lay down and kicked it hard with my feet!
Just listen to a click!
The three-inch thick cypress board was broken by my kick.
Climbing over, the west wing was very dark, and I could only rely on a flashlight for illumination. It was a mess, with smelly, sour black water and black mud everywhere. I felt for things in the mud.
White jade walls and white jade rings, I took whatever I touched. I didn't see the bones of the tomb owner at all.
After searching carefully, I suddenly touched a few small hard objects in the black mud. I immediately thought they might be burial objects such as dragonfly eyes. Unexpectedly, when I took them out and looked down with a flashlight, they turned out to be
A few human back molars!
The teeth of the tomb owner!
The black mud is acidic, causing the bones to "degrade", so only a few teeth were left! This thing was so unlucky, I quickly threw away the tomb owner's teeth and continued looking for valuables.
There was a pile of gold-painted lacquerware in the corner of the west chamber. Unfortunately, almost none of it was complete. They were all deformed, rotten, stacked and stuck together. I opened a three-layer lacquerware box, and a dazzling golden color instantly appeared.
It turned out to be a lacquer box full of gold cakes.
Unlike other things that corrode and rust, these gold cakes are as bright as new, and when you shine a flashlight on them, the gold shines brightly in your eyes.
And on these gold cakes, I saw the same Chu character carved with a knife.
