Chapter 306: The longevity date specific to the year, month, and day
If the key were swallowed into the female corpse's stomach, it wouldn't be impossible to retrieve, but it would be very troublesome!
It would inevitably require destroying the corpse!
Zhang Tianshi Zhang's actions were as if he had anticipated what would happen next.
Now that the key was in hand, Professor Chen began to hold the key, preparing to open the Eight Treasures Layered Box.
But after the key was inserted, he discovered that a mechanism had risen at the lock of the Eight Treasures Layered Box.
Professor Chen was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, and only after a long while did he say: "This... this is actually a password box!"
Everyone was full of surprise upon seeing this!
A password box from a thousand years ago?
That was truly a treasure!
It was just that looking at the eight holes on it, it meant that each hole had a corresponding number.
Who could know what these numbers were?
Even if one were to try them one by one, it would require a massive amount of time!
Whether it was the archaeological team or the netizens who had been watching the live stream, everyone was somewhat dumbfounded at this moment.
It was possible that the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish was contained within this Eight Treasures Layered Box.
But without knowing the password, it couldn't be opened now!
This made many people anxious, as if their hearts were being clawed at!
Professor Chen was no ordinary person either; he immediately led people to start trying the password.
This made Zhang Tianshi Zhang and the others on the side feel helpless.
The three walked to the side to discuss; it was clear they felt it was not the right time to try the password, and finding King Lu Shang's coffin was the priority.
But Professor Chen had also received news from the outside; although later than the trio, he understood that the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish in this box was related to the next archaeological operation.
Therefore, he first arranged for some people to collect the artifacts from the corpse, and others to attempt to crack the box's password.
Wang Pangzi huddled to the side and said somewhat helplessly: "Eight digits, how long will it take to try this?"
Tianzhen had been silent and hadn't spoken since seeing the eight-digit password on the Eight Treasures Layered Box.
Seeing this, Wang Pangzi hammered him twice.
"Student Tianzhen, what are you daydreaming about?"
Tianzhen only then came back to his senses and said somewhat uncertainly: "I always feel this eight-digit number is very familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before?"
Wang Pangzi was stunned; Tianzhen was with him every day.
If Tianzhen had seen it, he definitely would have seen it too!
Wang Pangzi immediately started to recall, but after thinking for a long time, he had no clue.
Zhang Tianshi Zhang, however, was not concerned with the box password; he paced back and forth on the platform, as if looking for something.
The high part of this altar was where those vines that could coil around people were.
Now everyone stayed far away from the vines, not daring to go over.
Zhang Tianshi Zhang, however, kept walking and started moving toward the vines.
Seeing this, Wang Pangzi hurriedly called out to him: "Zhang Tianshi, don't go over, those vines will coil around people."
Zhang Tianshi Zhang turned a deaf ear; when he walked to the altar, the altar suddenly couldn't bear the weight and sank downward.
Following that was a series of sounds of mechanisms being activated.
Everyone standing on the large platform didn't dare to move, thinking they had triggered some trap.
But when the sound of the mechanisms subsided, a loud noise suddenly came from the stone platform in the distance!
A large opening had actually split open on the body of that giant, coiling tree!
At the crack, a huge bronze coffin fixed by iron chains appeared!
In an instant, the archaeological live stream room boiled over!
This was clearly Zhang Tianshi Zhang stumbling upon it and finding King Lu Shang's coffin, right?!
This huge bronze coffin had a simple and grand style.
The seven coffins at the previous Big Dipper suspicious coffin site couldn't be compared to it at all!
One look at this and it matched the status of a feudal lord!
Even the moment Professor Chen saw the bronze coffin, there was a trace of doubt in his heart; he always felt this specification was a bit excessive.
Such a coffin didn't look like the grade a feudal lord should have; even if it were used for an emperor, it would be qualified!
The sudden appearance of the bronze coffin immediately attracted everyone's attention.
But everyone feared those coiling vines and didn't dare to approach the crack in the giant tree.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianshi Zhang said to everyone: "The stone powder on this stone platform seems to be able to stop the vines from attacking."
Captain Wang of the Special Forces immediately had a special forces member cover his whole body in stone powder and approach the vines.
Sure enough, they discovered that those vines avoided the special forces member one after another, as if they were very afraid.
Everyone followed suit, also covering their bodies with stone powder, and then walked onto the altar.
Only then did Professor Chen discover that the huge bronze coffin was at least two meters long, and it was densely carved with inscriptions.
Although the archaeological team still couldn't understand these inscriptions, based on the patterns of the characters, one could tell at a glance that they were consistent with the inscriptions on the coffin discovered at the previous Big Dipper suspicious coffin site.
It seemed this coffin really was King Lu Shang's!
Professor Chen was very excited, and then he discovered a line of characters carved on the coffin that he could understand.
In the middle of the coffin was the character "Qi" in seal script.
Below it was a long string of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao; these characters were particularly large and very eye-catching!
An archaeological team member on the side asked curiously: "Professor, what date is this? Is it the burial date?" ===== CHAPTER 307 =====
