Chapter 641: The Crowd Is Stunned! The Upper Half of the Mural Turns Out to Be!

Building up anticipation was something Zhang Lin had long been doing with great relish!

But this time they were wrong — Zhang Lin had no intention of dragging things out, because the coffin had only just been opened and the story needed to build; if he held back at this moment,

it would easily cause genuine discomfort in the audience's hearts.

Whether it was the barrage comments or the people inside the New Moon Restaurant complaining earlier, it was all orchestrated by Zhang Lin alone.

This too is the ability to control the room — when I let you ask questions, when you are surprised, when you exhale in relief, all of it falls within Zhang Lin's rhythm.

"Pay attention to the position of the fingers of the Gumo Prince and his wife inside the coffin."

Everyone's gaze followed Zhang Lin's words and looked over.

At this moment they noticed something very strange, and someone hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, if I'm not mistaken, this couple's arms are in a subtly parallel state."

In truth, the speaker knew this was very likely just a coincidence — after all, it had been a thousand years to the naked eye.

But no matter how you looked at it, it felt strange, as if the two people's arms had been deliberately arranged into this pose.

All of this felt too deliberate, and their pose itself already looked especially strange.

In fact, if Zhang Lin hadn't just said that the Gumo Prince had deliberately left a direction for posterity, they wouldn't have thought along these lines.

But everything before their eyes now was completely different.

Hearing this, Zhang Lin slowly nodded, showing a hint of approving gaze, and said: "That's right, just as you can see, the position of the finger bones is very strange. If a normal person died, no matter who they were, at the very least when they died they would arrange themselves into a relatively peaceful posture."

"The Gumo Prince's tomb hasn't been opened in a thousand years — the Second Archaeology Team is the first group of people to come here, which proves that the copper burial of the Gumo Prince and his wife's joint tomb itself was arranged exactly like this."

"At this point you absolutely must not disturb the bones, because what I'm about to say next is the upper half of the seventh mural."

【Holy shit!!! What does that mean?!】

【The upper half? The seventh mural?】

【Wait a moment, let me understand — does Mr. Zhang mean that when the coffin is opened, what these bones form together IS the seventh mural?】

【You just woke me up with that — it does seem to be the case.】

Inside the New Moon Restaurant, someone also hurriedly raised a hand and asked: "Mr. Zhang, do you mean that the position where these bones meet the bottom of the coffin IS the seventh mural?"

Zhang Lin waved his hand and said directly: "It's the upper half of the seventh mural. As for the lower half, don't rush — I'll explain it bit by bit."

The crowd instantly fell silent at his words.

Then they heard Zhang Lin say: "What that reader just said is correct — the arms of the Gumo Prince and his wife are parallel."

"They point together to one location, and that is the most crucial point."

"And the reason their fingers point there is because the last mechanism of this coffin is right there."

What?! There's still a mechanism?!

Everyone wore expressions of great astonishment — in their view, the moment the Gumo Prince's tomb was opened, every mechanism inside the tomb had already been broken.

What other kind of mechanism could there be?

What kind of person would place two mechanisms inside their own coffin?

If it wasn't for anti-theft, what other reason could there be?

Without the premise of anti-theft, the crowd hadn't thought that far.

But Zhang Lin now gave an answer that surprised everyone.

At this moment someone couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhang, I don't quite understand — even if all these mechanisms ultimately point to one answer, why couldn't these things be made a little simpler?"

"Since the Gumo Prince's tomb wasn't robbed, it shows his exterior defenses were already designed extremely tight. Under that premise, it all seems a little......"

Before this person could finish the question, Zhang Lin picked up where he left off and said: "Does it feel a bit overly complicated? You think — since the Gumo Prince wanted posterity to discover all this, why bother making it so troublesome?"

"What if it was too complicated and no one could figure it out?"

At these words, everyone couldn't help but nod.

Zhang Lin, however, said unhurriedly: "This matter actually needs to be considered against the historical background of the time."

"No matter how much the Gumo Prince wanted posterity to discover it, given the circumstances of his time, he had to make everything cautious to the extreme. He knew that the so-called posterity might only come a hundred, two hundred, or even more years later."

"Just like now — over a thousand years passed before anyone discovered his tomb."

"The Gumo Prince was a clever man. In his view, only those as clever as him, or cleverer, were qualified to discover this tomb. Otherwise, even if they found it, they couldn't solve the riddles on the murals — including these mechanisms, right?"

【Hehehe! Is Mr. Zhang praising himself here?】

【Even so, there's nothing wrong with it — only a wisdom like Mr. Zhang's is qualified to open this tomb.】

【To be precise, he opened it remotely — that is indisputable.】

【Not envied by others is a mediocrity; humility is the epitaph of the humble, pride is the passport of the proud.】

【No matter how exquisitely designed, it still couldn't escape Mr. Zhang's discerning eye.】

All of this still had Luo Pan as the lead-in — only because of it did Zhang Lin, inside today's New Moon Restaurant, unveil all these mysteries sealed for a thousand years.

Otherwise the Gumo Prince might have had to wait another thousand years,

After all, the Second Archaeology Team's target was the Ancient Jue City — before finding the Gumo Prince's tomb, no one knew the exact location of Ancient Jue City.

They could only feel their way across the river, bit by bit, to see if they could track down the ancient Kong Quehe river channel.

After Zhang Lin finished this speech, the Second Archaeology Team also received the message.

Yang Lu was relieved once again — just now, when their attention returned to the coffin, the brash Wang Kaixuan was about to touch those bones.

He instinctively wanted to rummage around and see what Burial Objects of note there were.

Wang Kaixuan didn't believe that this couple's joint tomb was truly empty — that there was nothing besides the bones.

But Yang Lu had an instinctive intuition — the absence of Burial Objects itself was very strange, which meant these two skeletons themselves might be conveying important information.

So she stopped Wang Kaixuan's action.

Everything before their eyes now showed she was right, and Wang Kaixuan stepped aside and quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Hu Bayi immediately glared fiercely at him. Although the live broadcast camera had already captured the scene and it wouldn't affect Zhang Lin's analysis of everything,

they still had to follow the direction of those fingers to find the next mechanism. Once the finger direction shifted, they could only compare using the pictures sent back.
