Chapter 118

Everyone was stunned!

What came into view was a coffin full of clear water, and through the clear water, one could clearly see the burial objects inside the coffin.

Even the bones of the tomb owner could be seen clearly.

Qin Lao was so excited he couldn't speak: "This... this... is actually a tomb from 2,000 years ago? How does it look like it's new!"

The other three were no exception, all shocked by the scene before them.

You have to know this is an ancient tomb from over 2,000 years ago.

It's normal for there to be water in the coffin; for example, the one opened earlier formed coffin liquid because water seeped in.

So the water in most coffins is very turbid.

But one as clear as this one can be said to be second to none!

The most important thing is that it already has a history of 2,000 years.

Dai Ju couldn't help but exclaim: "I've really learned something today. By the way, why is the water inside so clear? Does anyone know?"

Several people shook their heads; even Qin Lao didn't know.

But then they suddenly thought of the sentence Fang Yang said earlier.

You'll know when you open it later.

Could it be?

Did Fang Yang know from the beginning that there was clear water inside?

Thinking about it this way, it was too terrifying.

Principal Kong asked suspiciously: "Fang Yang, did you know there was water inside from the beginning?"

Fang Yang nodded helplessly.

Hiss~~

Could he even know this?

Is this considered foreknowledge?

Fang Yang looked at the coffin full of water and said faintly: "This was a burial custom at the time. Filling the coffin with water and then covering it with a high-density cover board could ensure the body wouldn't rot. 2,000 years have passed; the body is gone, but the bones are still there."

——【Show-off, why do you have to know so much? How are we supposed to live?】

——【Is there anyone who doesn't like him? Go beat him up, I'll pay for your travel expenses.】

——【I just said he must have known what it looked like inside from the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have said that. This is too magical.】

——【A corpse from 2,000 years ago, preserved until now, is truly magical. I have to say this burial method also has its merits.】

——【Did you see that golden thing in the coffin? It looks like gold?】

——【It's not strange at all for an ancient tomb of this specification to have gold. I look forward to unearthing some national treasure-level cultural relics.】

Qin Lao couldn't help but think when he heard this: "I've heard of this burial custom before, but I've never encountered it once in so many years. I thought it was fake, but today I've really seen it."

"A coffin full of clear water, I've never even heard of it, let alone seen it. Today is destined to have a big discovery; this owner is definitely not ordinary!"

Principal Kong took a brush, reached into the clear water, and cleaned the turbid matter that had already rotted below, and immediately a golden color appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Gold!"

Everyone present saw it.

Fang Yang's system panel popped up again.

【Jade Wenming】

【A high-level burial object from the Han Dynasty】

【The shape of the wooden box is like an inverted square bucket, with one side open, composed of four sides (left, right side panels, back panel, and top panel). There are horseshoe-shaped notches on the side panels, and three bronze mirrors are placed inside.】

Principal Kong continued to clean with the brush.

The gold became more and more obvious.

Just as they intended to take out the cultural relics inside, they found that a wooden box at the head of the skeleton was blocking the way.

Qin Lao looked at the wooden box and thought: "We can only take it out first!"

Dai Ju frowned: "This thing has been soaking for over 2,000 years; it feels very fragile. If we are not careful, we might damage the cultural relic."

"If we don't take it out, we can't take out the other things inside!"

Several people discussed for a long time and finally looked at Fang Yang.

Fang Yang smiled bitterly: "I really can't help you with this. To tell you the truth, I suggest taking it out; we have to take it out anyway!"

"Alright! Then take it!"

Immediately after, several people reached their hands into the water and carefully supported the four sides of the wooden box, moving it up bit by bit.

The moment the wooden box came out of the water, everyone was stunned.

An exquisitely carved, gold-wrapped, jade-inlaid special wooden box appeared before everyone's eyes.

"What is this?"

Several people carried the wooden box to a safe place to the side and carefully observed the patterns on it.

The entire box was assembled and fixed through a mortise and tenon structure.

There were also four glittering golden hornless dragons on it.

Its four walls were inlaid with colored glaze, and the patterns on the glaze were all different, but all had gold foil decoration.

In the middle of the upper part was an inlaid glazed disc, and on the disc was a lifelike gold-wrapped turtle.

The details of the entire object were perfect, and it was carved very finely.

Several experts present looked at the box in front of them in shock.

It was their first time seeing this thing too!

What they had seen and heard today had already brought them too much shock!

First the wooden board, then a coffin of clear water, and now this exquisitely carved box.

Qin Lao was the first to ask Fang Yang: "Fang Yang, do you recognize this thing?"

The others smiled bitterly helplessly.

They were like elementary school students today, not recognizing anything, all relying on Fang Yang's explanation.

As for why he understood these things, no one wanted to investigate; it didn't matter anymore.

Fang Yang nodded slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be the legendary Jade Wenming!"

"Jade Wenming? This thing is Jade Wenming?"

"Sure enough, the things recorded in historical books really exist?"

Looking at the surprised people, Fang Yang explained again: "Jade Wenming is a high-level burial object from the Han Dynasty. According to historical records, placing this thing above the head of the deceased is to maintain the dignity of the deceased and keep their soul from dissipating."

"In the past, this kind of thing had never been unearthed; it only existed in historical books. For example, it is recorded in the 'Book of Han' that after the Grand General Huo Guang passed away, the items bestowed upon him by the Emperor included a piece of Wenming."

——【According to what he said, isn't this a top-level cultural relic? The only one in the country?】

——【This is too bizarre. How can there be so many exaggerated things in such an inconspicuous coffin?】

——【This box is badly rotted; I guess it can't be considered a national treasure-level cultural relic anymore.】

——【I'm just puzzled. The experts can't even think of this thing, so why did Fang Yang know immediately? What kind of things are in his brain?】

——【If you ask me, we should catch him and study his brain to contribute to humanity.】

——【First, you have to be able to beat him. I'm afraid if you go to cause trouble, he'll beg you not to die.】

After listening to Fang Yang's explanation, everyone was numb with shock.

This is Jade Wenming, something that can generally only be used by the imperial family for burial.

You have to know that the hornless dragons on Wenming symbolized power and strength in ancient times.

Especially in the Han Dynasty, not just anyone was qualified to use it.

Xu Fang said excitedly: "Doesn't that mean it's very likely that this is an imperial tomb?"

"It's truly novel; it's the first time I've seen an imperial tomb of this specification."

"It's hard to say right now; let's continue to look first!"

After the archaeological team moved the Jade Wenming away, several experts looked at the coffin again.
