Chapter 310
"This kind of bronze coffin has several layers of coffins inside; let's pry open one or two layers first and listen clearly."
Professor Chen's comfort worked, and the archaeological team members calmed down.
The person who had been holding the crowbar scraped off the lacquer at the seams of the coffin.
Then he stuck the crowbar in and pressed down hard.
Then there was a crisp "crack" sound, and the bronze coffin board pried open!
Several archaeological team members used their shoulders to push at the same time, flipping the board to the side, finally revealing the coffin inside.
The coffin was an exquisite jade-inlaid lacquer coffin, inlaid with jade stones.
The jade stones were arranged very neatly, and the jade-nested coffin looked valuable!
Seeing such a substantial coffin appear, the archaeological team members showed joy.
This trip to King Lu Shang's tomb had been very fruitful for the archaeological team.
Such an exquisite coffin was also an extremely precious artifact for the official authorities.
Professor Chen excitedly touched the jade stones on the coffin and said: "This is jade from the Xinjiang region; this jade is priceless! Not to mention it's a whole set!"
"A few people come over, carefully peel away this jade coffin! Don't destroy its integrity!"
Just as the voice fell, several people immediately went up to start peeling it away.
After more than ten minutes, the complete jade-nested coffin was peeled open, revealing the painted lacquer coffin inside!
Professor Chen had people put away the jade inlays, then placed his hand on the lacquer coffin and said: "This is the last layer; if there are no accidents, King Lu Shang's corpse should be lying inside."
At this moment, everyone became excited!
They had completely forgotten the shock from the coffin's sudden shaking just now.
Wang Pangzi drooled while looking at the lacquer coffin, wishing he could pounce on it.
He had been muttering to Tianzhen that the jade inlay was a priceless treasure!
When Wang Pangzi leaned close to the lacquer coffin to check, he suddenly heard faint breathing sounds.
He immediately turned his head to look at Tianzhen and complained: "You didn't put in any effort to pry the coffin, why are you panting so heavily?"
Tianzhen said with a dumbfounded expression: "I'm not panting?"
Wang Pangzi chuckled: "You're the closest to me; if it's not you panting, who else could it be?"
Tianzhen was just about to argue a few words when he was interrupted by Zhang Tianshi Zhang: "Stop arguing, it's the breathing sound from inside the coffin."
Breathing inside the coffin?!
At this moment, the entire archaeological team was shocked!
Everyone tacitly quieted down again, and sure enough, they soon heard a faint breathing sound!
It was just like the steady breathing emitted by a person in deep sleep!
This discovery made many people's hands start to shake.
When going down to raid tombs and do archaeology, one is not afraid of seeing the dead, but afraid of seeing things that move!
Now, this kind of bizarre situation was simply challenging people's nerves.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianshi Zhang said to Professor Chen: "Professor, give me the tool, I'll open the coffin!"
The researcher on the side heard this and immediately handed the crowbar to Zhang Tianshi Zhang.
He didn't hesitate either, taking the crowbar and sticking it directly into the gap of the coffin.

Not knowing how he applied force, everyone suddenly heard a "snap," and the coffin split open neatly from the middle!
And at this instant, an extremely miserable scream came out from the coffin and drilled into everyone's ears!
The people surrounding it were startled, and some even sat on the ground on their butts!
