Chapter 91: The Discarded Ancient Coffin of Pan Geng
The entire coffin is about two meters wide and two and a half meters high. You can't tell how long it is, but according to normal proportions, it must be at least three meters long, and the exposed part is less than one and a half meters. Look at this size,
It should be a coffin, and the coffin should be sealed inside.
The four of them were excited and hurriedly started digging the soil with the engineering shovel. Within ten minutes, the huge coffin hit the ground with a "boom!". Da Zhuang excitedly touched the coffin lid and shouted: "Look,
After so many years of exposure to wind and sun, this coffin is still intact! Judging from the quality of the material alone, this is definitely the standard for princes and generals!"
I looked carefully at the coffin. There was a small hole under the coffin board on the right side. This should have been set up to allow the soul of the owner to enter and exit freely. There was also a picture of a ferocious monster on the lid of the coffin, with two curved ears.
Yue is half as big as his face, with two sharp horns on his head and wings on his arms.
It has a phoenix-like tail, and its entire chest is covered with huge scales! It looks like a bird but not a bird, and looks like a tortoise but not a tortoise. I remember seeing this monster somewhere. It should be the legendary "Tubo" who warded off evil spirits and exorcised ghosts!
Wang Yi of the Chao Dynasty once said: Tu Bo, the Hou Bo of Hou Tu, said that Tu Bo of the land guarded the gate!
"This coffin is too abnormal, you must be careful!" Shui Yueqing said.
I nodded: "Indeed, judging from the quality of this coffin, it must contain a big shot, and it is impossible to leave it here. Someone must have touched it before, but they did not open the coffin, which is the most suspicious thing."
!”
Wu De immediately agreed: "That's right, in our industry, we live a life of licking blood for money. Even if it is a blood coffin, ruthless people will risk their lives to open it. There is no reason why this coffin should remain sealed!"
"
"Oh, life and death matter. Since the treasure was given to me, I would be sorry if I didn't take it!" Da Zhuang looked like he was risking his life: "If you are afraid, Master Zhuang will do it alone. I am not very lucky. Generally, the coffin cannot be lowered.
I!"
Da Zhuang said it all, in the end it was the four people who moved together, "Boom!" With a sound, the huge coffin cover was lifted down, and a strange smell suddenly came out of it. The four people hurriedly dispersed, and after five or six
It took a few minutes to get together again.
The inner coffin is also painted with red lacquer, which is much more complicated than the outer coffin. It is densely covered with paintings, which can even be described as exquisite. The entire coffin lid is composed of dragons, with a total of four rows, each row has seventeen groups, and each group has two dragons.
Dragons, one hundred and thirty-six in total, connected end to end! The number is extremely huge! The paintings on the side panels on both sides are the most peculiar. In the center is a double lattice door, with a mythical beast warrior holding a double sword on each side of the door.
The guards were very strict and terrifying.
"Hey, there's something in the whole nook!" Wu De pointed at the gap between the inner coffin and the outer coffin and shouted.
Da Zhuang looked at it and hurriedly reached out and took it out: "What is this? Old money, is this thing worth anything?"
I took a look and saw that it was a bronze animal about 20 centimeters tall. It had a pair of beautiful antlers, but had the long neck and wings of a crane. However, it did not say that the material was ancient bronze, it was just the workmanship of this animal.
, it’s extraordinary! I handed it to Da Zhuang carefully: “It is a national first-class cultural relic when it is sent to the museum! Judging from my many years of experience in collecting ancient relics, it is definitely a sky-high price treasure!”
"Really!?" Da Zhuang looked at me with admiration: "Long live you, didn't you kid me? It's just such a simple bronze statue, or is it a sky-high price treasure?"
I nodded: "Put it away quickly. If you don't want it, give it to me."
"Then I'd better put it away!" Da Zhuang carefully put it into his backpack like he was holding a baby.
"Whose coffin does it belong to? I remember that in China, only the emperor's coffin can be painted with dragons, but this coffin has more than a hundred dragons painted on it!" Shui Yueqing said in great confusion.
In fact, from the first moment I saw this coffin, I had a hunch that the owner of this coffin might be none other than Pan Geng! I told the three of them my opinion, and they were also half-convinced.
Wu Dedao: "Brother Long, if this is really Pan Geng's, it should be in the underground palace. Why did it come here?"
"This is probably related to the people from Xilingmen. They occupied the magpie's nest and wanted to use Pan Geng's underground palace as the foundation. They had to clean it up. Pan Geng's coffin must have been cleaned out, but I didn't expect that they would just throw it away at will.
Here. This is a king of the generation, Emperor Pan Geng!" I said.
Da Zhuang waved his hand: "Old Qian, don't rush to express your feelings. If it is really Pan Geng's coffin, why don't they open the coffin? I don't believe that the people at Xiling Gate are so noble. They steal and fight more ruthlessly than us.
, if you don’t turn it upside down, you are not a Xiling person!”
Shui Yueqing said thoughtfully: "I think if Qian Long's hypothesis is true, then there are two possibilities that they will not open the coffin. First, the Xilingmen people have had an ancestral motto since the Song Dynasty, not to steal.
The tomb of the Han people. They may have had no choice but to seize Pan Geng's place, and because of the ancestral instructions, they did not open the coffin, but just moved it out. As for why it was discarded here in such a disrespectful manner, I don't know.
