Zhang Lin said he would follow along and learn something, so he took the opportunity to stop popularizing the Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin array.

He watched with great interest as the audience’s attention below was all attracted by Master Zhang.

At this moment, almost the entire internet’s gaze was focused on Master Zhang.

Even the Flower Monk and Lang Feng, who were sitting below in Sanqing Garden, helplessly took out their phones, wanting to see how Master Zhang would break the Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin array.

As disciples of the Fourth Master, these two were also very interested in other tomb-robbing experts.

Especially now that they heard even a Mount Wudang Master could break the suspicious coffin array, they were somewhat unconvinced.

"Mount Wudang Mountain doesn't have anything to do with tomb robbing; can this damn Master understand how to rob tombs?" The Flower Monk complained dissatisfiedly.

Lang Feng said: "You say less; have you forgotten what the Fourth Master said?"

"Many monks and Daoists have real skills, it’s just that they are monks and it’s not convenient for them to be in the limelight."

"I seem to have heard the Fourth Master mention it before, that the leader of a certain tomb-robbing sect was a monk!"

"It’s just that the Fourth Master spoke too fast, and I didn't hear it clearly."

Hearing this, the Flower Monk didn't say anything more; he stared at Master Zhang, who looked very poor, on the phone screen.

Wanting to see what real skills this Master, who was both balding and oily-faced, could have?

At this time, he heard Master Zhang on the screen say to Professor Chen: "Actually, this Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin array doesn't have much to do with the Daoist Big Dipper."

"So wanting to use the Big Dipper to judge which suspicious coffin is the real one, I’m afraid it’s very difficult."

"But I have a method, which is derived from what is used when refining pills in the Heavenly Master Dao, and it should also be able to be tried in this Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin array."

Professor Chen heard this and immediately asked: "What method?"

Master Zhang said: "It is to use two pry bars to pry up a corner of the coffin, and then drill a small hole in the bottom of the coffin."

"Then use an iron hook to probe inside to see what is hooked out; in this way, one can judge what is inside the coffin."

After Master Zhang finished speaking, Professor Chen’s eyes lit up, and he felt that this method was feasible!

Not only could one see the things inside the coffin, but one could also reduce the risk without opening the coffin!

After weighing it, Professor Chen finally made up his mind and started having the archaeology team’s researchers prepare.

The archaeology team had many people and great strength, and was also equipped with special combat team members for protection, so doing physical labor was completely fine.

Everyone started to get busy, and even the friends in the livestream were excited and shouting.

Only Fatty was confused and said to Tianzhen: "What does he mean? What does this method have to do with Daoist pill refining? Can this also be forcibly linked together?"

Tianzhen also felt Master Zhang’s statement was far-fetched; this method didn't look like something Daoists would use at all.

It actually made Tianzhen smell a bit of the Nine Gates!

But there were others in the archaeology team who seemed not to have noticed this.

Even Professor Chen didn't get to the bottom of Master Zhang’s words and was ready to give it a try.

Tianzhen and Fatty were both college students, and their shallow life experience made them unable to understand what the leader Professor Chen was thinking?

Only when Zhang Lin saw this scene did he smile knowingly.

Actually, the reason is very simple: Professor Chen and the archaeology team just wanted to open the coffins!

If no method was given, then for the sake of safety, the archaeology team’s greatest possibility was to give up opening these seven coffins.

But as archaeological personnel, only those who have done archaeology and tomb robbing know how great the temptation of seven coffins appearing at once is!

It’s simply that if you don't open them, your heart will itch!

Now that Master Zhang gave a seemingly feasible method, who cares where this method came from?

As long as it is suitable and there is no danger, Professor Chen is willing to try it!

……

One of the seven coffins was quickly pried up at one corner with the combined efforts of several people, and then an archaeology team member took out a jack to support it.

The moment the coffin tilted, everyone seemed to hear the sound of something sliding inside!

It sounded quite heavy, and finally, because of the tilt of the coffin, it hit one side of the coffin, making a "thump" sound.

Although the sound was extremely small, it was still clearly audible in the enclosed tomb chamber.

Archaeology team member Liu Wei immediately said: "Professor, there is a sound, it seems there is a corpse inside!"

A corpse?!

Hearing this guess, everyone became excited.

If there is a corpse in this coffin, it is very likely to be King Lu Shang’s coffin.

At this time, team members took tools and started drilling holes in the bottom of the coffin.

According to Master Zhang’s words, this hole doesn't need to be too large, just enough to reach in an iron wire to hook things out.

With the help of modern equipment, the hole was drilled in a short while.

Seeing Liu Wei find an iron wire and fumbling with the small hole in the coffin.

Master Zhang said directly: "Give it to me, I’ll do it."

Saying that, he took the iron wire from Liu Wei’s hand, twisted it twice quickly, and made a hook shape at the top.

Seeing Master Zhang’s nimble hand, everyone was a bit shocked!

At this time, Master Zhang quickly sent the iron wire into the hole.

His hand speed was very fast, and in a short while, the iron wire was completely submerged in the coffin.

And Master Zhang held one end of the iron wire, shaking his hand quickly, as if he was trying hard to move the iron wire to hook things.

Fatty had already been shocked by Master Zhang’s hand, and his tone was a bit trembling: "Is this person really a Master? Why do I feel his technique of probing the hole is more professional than Fatty’s?"

Tianzhen was also increasingly suspicious of Master Zhang’s identity.

This method of using iron wire to hook items is only mastered by two types of people.

One is tomb robbers, and the other is thieves!

Master Zhang’s proficiency is even more skillful than ordinary thieves.

Tianzhen and Fatty were confused, and Zhang Lin also heard the audience’s relay.

Thinking that Master Zhang clearly had ultimate skills but didn't use them, and had to go through the trouble of using iron wire, Zhang Lin felt it was very interesting.

If Master Zhang were willing to use the Fa Qiu Finger, where would it need to be so complicated?

Directly learning Zhang Yancheng’s method of drenching the coffin with ox blood, drilling a hole in the coffin, and reaching in with the Fa Qiu Finger would be much more efficient than this iron wire!

Everyone waited anxiously, and even their breathing slowed down unconsciously.

After a long time, they finally heard Master Zhang say: "Hooked something."

After he finished speaking, he started pulling the iron wire out, and when the iron wire was completely pulled out, the hook on the top was hanging with some silk fabric.

Professor Chen put on gloves and carefully took it off to look at it.

Then he said excitedly: "This is a very precious brocade, which could only be used by nobles in ancient times!"

Hearing this, everyone was a bit excited.

Silk fabric that could only be used by nobles was found in the coffin, doesn't that mean the person in this coffin has a noble status?

Therefore, this is very likely King Lu Shang’s main coffin!

At this time, even Master Zhang, who personally hooked out the silk fabric, had some doubts in his heart.

It was actually this smooth?

Just picked a coffin at random, and it happened to be King Lu Shang’s?

Master Zhang was also a bit confused; he, like everyone else, didn't know which one of these seven coffins was the real main coffin.

At this time, he couldn't use the ultimate skills of the Fa Qiu sect, so he had no choice but to borrow the Mountain-Moving Daoist’s method of hooking the hole.

This method is generally used by Mountain-Moving Daoists when they are unclear about the situation inside the coffin.

I heard that powerful Mountain-Moving Daoists can even judge what is in the coffin from the smell stained on the iron wire after it is inserted and pulled out!

This is a skill that needs to be practiced over time.

For example, a Mountain-Moving Daoist who has practiced the hole-hooking method to the extreme can distinguish the smell of jade, jewelry, and gold!

Maybe some people think it sounds very simple; jewelry, jade, and gold are minerals, so they must have the smell of minerals.

But the actual situation is very complicated; these funerary objects have been with the corpse for many years.

They have experienced the pollution of corpse decay and the soaking of anti-corrosion liquids inside the coffin, becoming mixed with unbearable smells.

Ordinary people smelling them would only feel they all emit a fishy stench.

But Mountain-Moving Daoists can accurately say the difference, thereby deciding whether the coffin is worth opening!

Master Zhang naturally didn't have this ability, and even this Mountain-Moving Daoist’s hole-hooking method was obtained by accident.

That iron wire he just pulled out, he tried to smell it just now.
