Chapter 312

However, why was it King Lu Shang?

Why was it King Lu Shang who obtained the opportunity for immortality?

The Qin Qin Shi Huang searched everywhere for the elixir of immortality but failed, visited fairy mountains and went out to sea to seek medicine, and finally died of illness with regret.

But King Lu Shang, a feudal lord of the Lu State who was not even recorded in history.

Why was he able to be immortal?

This was not only the question of Professor Liu, the expert, but also the question of many audience members and netizens.

King Lu Shang was able to be immortal, and until today when the coffin was opened, he was still alive.

Then why didn't he offer this secret art to the Duke of Lu?

As a small feudal lord, was he worthy of enjoying immortality?

As the Vice Dean of the National Archaeological Institute, Professor Liu's ideological awareness was very sharp.

He had realized that the archaeological team had triggered a heaven-shaking secret!

This secret could easily cause social unrest!

The most important thing to do right now was to cut off the live stream and keep the secret in the hands of the official authorities.

But when Professor Liu saw the big shots with status and reputation in the Crescent Hotel.

Everyone's face was full of shock, and at the same time, ecstasy, he knew it was already too late.

Whatever he did now was just self-deception!

King Lu Shang had lived for a thousand years, and the news that there was true immortality in the world had already started to spread across the entire internet!

Nowadays, it was simply too late to seal the thoughts and mouths of the masses.

Everyone, upon seeing that this corpse was still breathing, could confirm that immortality existed in this world.

Now everyone was most concerned about whether King Lu Shang would really wake up?

Zhang Lin said that the date the coffin owner truly woke up was 1896!

But now a hundred years had passed, far exceeding the time carved on the coffin.

What went wrong here, leading to this time deviation?

Was it caused by the chaos of the calendar, or was it purely that Zhang Lin calculated wrong?

Was the date the coffin truly opened not 1896, but today, a hundred years later?

At this moment, everyone seemed to have fallen into a huge mystery, urgently needing Zhang Lin to answer!

Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhang Lin understood what they wanted to ask.

It was nothing more than why King Lu Shang didn't wake up at the time of 1896.

Instead, he waited until today to be pried open by the archaeological team?

"Mr. Zhang, is there a problem here?"

"That's right, we really can't figure it out!"

"Did you calculate wrong, or was the time carved by King Lu Shang wrong?"

"There is one more question, does King Lu Shang count as waking up now?"

"I don't think so; waking up should mean opening his eyes, like a normal person, but King Lu Shang is clearly still in deep sleep!"

"That means, the time he should truly wake up is not 1896, nor is it now; it simply hasn't arrived yet!"

"Damn! Then does the archaeological team count as disturbing him? Can he still be immortal? Can he live?"

The people asking questions in the venue were all trying their best to avoid saying "immortality."

But when someone started the topic, the car couldn't be stopped!

All questions started to revolve around immortality.

The big shots on the second and third floors who had been calm and silent were now starting to ask questions together.

The most asked question was naturally whether King Lu Shang, like this, counted as immortal?

Facing everyone's questions, as well as the waiting of the entire internet.

Zhang Lin didn't keep them in suspense either, but said directly: "First, let's talk about the first thing: is there any problem with the date 1896?"

"My answer is very clear: there is no problem with this date!"

"As for why the person in the coffin now didn't wake up in 1896, and even hasn't awakened now, there is only one reason."

"The original owner of this coffin is not him at all!"

"He is just a thief who occupied the magpie's nest!"

"You all shouldn't forget, what did King Lu Shang do?"

At this instant, many people, under Zhang Lin's hint, understood the key point.

King Lu Shang was only enfeoffed as a lord after helping the Duke of Lu raid tombs!

To put it bluntly, he was a tomb raider!

So, if this coffin wasn't his at all, but he occupied the magpie's nest.

Then it was very likely that he discovered this ancient tomb while helping the Duke of Lu raid tombs!

At the same time, he also discovered the original owner lying in this bronze coffin.

King Lu Shang was also ruthless in his actions; he not only occupied someone else's tomb but also occupied someone else's coffin, lay inside, and became immortal himself!

Now the question arises: whose tomb and whose coffin is this?

Could it be that the key to immortality is this bronze coffin, and as long as one lies inside, one can be immortal?

At this moment, the eyes of many big shots looking at the bronze coffin in the live stream screen changed!

They became greedy and hot, as if they really thought that lying inside would grant immortality!

Regarding this, Zhang Lin continued: "I don't need to say who the true tomb owner is; I estimate the archaeological team will be able to find information in the coffin in a moment."

"Let's talk specifically about this immortality; do you all think that by learning from King Lu Shang and lying in the coffin, you can be immortal?"

Seeing everyone nodding, Zhang Lin smiled.

"Then you all are really naive; if it were really that simple, what would the Qin Qin Shi Huang be seeking the elixir of immortality for?"

"This emperor through the ages has already listed the answer for you all!"

"Immortality requires elixir pills; without the elixir of immortality, even if you lie in a golden coffin, you will still end up dead!"

"Just look at King Lu Shang now; do you think he is alive or dead?"

Once the question was asked, the answer from below was almost unanimously: Alive!

Zhang Lin nodded, "Not bad, he is still alive, but he doesn't count as truly alive either."

"As long as the three thousand years have not passed, he will always be in this state of a living dead person."

"Is this the immortality you all want?"

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads!

Just kidding, the ultimate goal of immortality is to be free and at ease!

Lying in a coffin waiting for three thousand years to be immortal, who could stand that?

If things go wrong, the world will have changed by then, and it's hard to say if humans will even exist.

And this question from Zhang Lin also allowed Professor Liu to grasp the key.

He immediately said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, I understand! I finally understand!"

"No wonder you said there was no problem with the date 1896, and no wonder you were sure King Lu Shang was not the true owner of the coffin!"

"Because the person who should have truly awakened in 1896 has already had his nest occupied by King Lu Shang!"

"If we reverse-calculate from 1896, the original owner of this coffin should be a person from the Shang and Zhou periods!"

Hearing Professor Liu's words, many people showed shock!

Because under Professor Liu's hint, these people also understood the key point.

That is to say, King Lu Shang, a person from the Warring States period who occupied the magpie's nest, interrupted the dream of immortality of a person from the Shang and Zhou periods!

If the original owner of the coffin hadn't been disturbed, then in the year 1896, he should have awakened!

Then, spanning the three thousand years from the Western Zhou to the late Qing Dynasty.

Enjoying his immortal time thereafter!

And some people, based on the three thousand years of time, roughly calculated the time King Lu Shang should wake up.

King Lu Shang was a person from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period.

Counting from now, it would take at least another seven hundred years before his awakening time!

But now, King Lu Shang's dream of immortality has also been interrupted!

Just seven hundred years short, yet he was dug out by the archaeological team! ===== CHAPTER 313 =====
