【About 2000mm long and 1380mm wide, approximately 2.76 square meters】

【Emperor Qianlong's shroud】

【Contains the Dharani Sutra quilt, which was used by the royal family in the Qing Dynasty. It was meticulously crafted from Tibetan antelope cashmere, roe deer velvet, and real silk. The lining is embroidered with nine dragons and uses the lost Kesi technique. It took over three years to make. The ancients once said, an inch of Kesi is an inch of gold...】

【Reason: In 1928, the warlord Sun Dianying blew up the tombs of Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi. Unfortunately, Sun Dianying was a crude man. After splitting open Qianlong's tomb with an axe, he found mostly calligraphy and paintings, which angered him so much that he tore them all up, even throwing Qianlong's bones into a sewer, along with his shroud, which was thrown away like trash! Finally, it was picked up by his subordinates to use as a quilt, and buried with him when he died...】

After reading the introduction, Fang Yang was dumbfounded.

In such an inconspicuous coffin lay an inconspicuous shroud.

It was actually Emperor Qianlong's quilt for the afterlife.

This contrast was really too big.

The main thing was that from the outside, you couldn't tell it was a good thing; it was just an ordinary shroud.

Even Dean He didn't see anything wrong with it.

Just as they were about to cover the coffin, Fang Yang shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone was startled by his shout!

They all cast suspicious glances.

Fang Yang walked to the coffin, looked at the skeleton lying inside, and paid his respects.

Then he pulled out the shroud on top.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Chen Feng asked uncertainly: "Fang Yang? What are you doing?"

And the workers behind had looks of disgust.

"Damn, he even wants the dead person's things?"

"Hurry up and take the coffin away. Who would dare to work here if it's left here!"

Fang Yang looked at the yellow quilt in his hand; it really was useless.

If he didn't have the system, he would definitely not know that there was a treasure hidden inside.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Fang Yang smiled: "If I said this is a treasure, would you believe me?"

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1...

——【Everyone come and see, the King of Showing Off is about to start showing off again. Everyone in the comment section, get your '666' ready and wait for the King of Showing Off to show off. Once he succeeds, everyone stand up and copy-paste '666', let's witness the highlight moment of the King of Showing Off!】

——【This time I really don't believe it. Dean He hasn't said anything yet, I don't believe Fang Yang's eyes are better than Dean He's. Besides, this person's coffin looks like a poor person's, it's just a shroud, how could it be a treasure.】

——【Waiting for Fang Yang to flip the car, everyone celebrate and throw flowers. If Fang Yang is unhappy, we are happy. Seeing him get frustrated is even happier than me making money. I can't wait to open a bottle of 82-year-old Coke to celebrate.】

——【Why do I always feel like he'll succeed in showing off this time? Although it doesn't feel very likely, for so long, his success rate in showing off has been too high. It seems he hasn't failed once. Forget it, forget it, I'll keep watching!】

——【You say, is it possible that this quilt is a cultural relic, and the owner of this tomb was a grave robber? He stole the relic and covered himself with it when he died. Otherwise, why would he bury himself in this wilderness without even a tombstone?】

As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked.

Are you kidding? Showing off in front of Dean He, isn't that looking for death!

Dean He hasn't spoken, and you say it's a treasure. Isn't this slapping him in the face?

Even Dai Ju was a bit panicked and couldn't help but cough a few times: "Ahem~~"

Fang Yang naturally knew what they were thinking.

Fortunately, Dean He didn't mind, but instead asked very politely: "Can you tell me why? Although this fabric looks like silk to me, there's nothing special about it!"

Fang Yang nodded: "That's right, this fabric is indeed not the real treasure!"

This sentence directly confused everyone.

What on earth does that mean?

They couldn't understand at all!

Fang Yang smiled: "But I can tell you what this thing is!"

Dean He immediately became interested: "Let's hear it!"

"I'll tell you a historical event first! You should all know about Sun Dianying blowing up Qianlong and Cixi's tomb with bombs back then, right!"

Xu Fang hurriedly chimed in: "I know, all the cultural relics in the tomb were looted, and even those rare books and paintings were destroyed. It's a pity that this Sun Dianying did such a wicked thing, but in the end, nothing happened to him!"

Dai Ju asked suspiciously: "You don't mean to say that this thing is related to that tomb, do you?"

Fang Yang smiled: "Yes! I don't know if you've heard, but after Qianlong's bones were thrown into the sewer, something else was thrown in too!"

"What thing?"

The curiosity of everyone present was completely aroused.

After all, it's related to the imperial tomb, so it definitely isn't ordinary.

Fang Yang held up the quilt in his hand and smiled: "That is Qianlong's shroud!"

The workers were stunned!

"Qianlong's shroud?"

"What's the use of that, it's not valuable!"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Would an emperor use trash for his burial?"

But the reactions of the archaeological experts present were completely different.

If you look closely, you will find that their eyes were already full of shock.

Looking at the yellow satin in Fang Yang's hand, it was unbelievable.

Even Dean He was a bit excited.

"Fang Yang, how do you know this is Qianlong's shroud?"

Fang Yang chuckled: "Because there's something inside. It just so happens that I saw it vaguely just now!"

"Inside? You mean there's an interlayer in this yellow satin?"

"Yes! Whoever brought scissors or something, lend them to me. I'll open it, and we'll all take a look!"

The archaeological staff next to him immediately took a pair of scissors from the toolbox and handed them to Fang Yang.

Fang Yang held the scissors and carefully cut a small opening along the very edge.

With a gentle flick, a touch of golden yellow could be clearly seen inside.

Now everyone was excited!

Xu Fang shouted excitedly: "I see it, I see it, there really is something inside!"

Dai Ju was also very excited and immediately leaned over to look.

Dean He tried to stay calm and looked at Fang Yang: "It's okay, you continue to open it, I believe you!"

Fang Yang was solemn at this moment, very careful, cutting open the yellow satin on the outside bit by bit.

When the entire edge was cut open, a golden quilt was pulled out from inside.

It was covered with golden Tibetan Buddhist scriptures.

Besides that, there were decorations like Buddha statues, pagodas, and patterns.

It had both the sanctity of Buddhism and the majesty of the royal family.

It was the kind of thing that you knew was definitely a treasure at first glance!

A soul-shaking shock swept over everyone present!

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1....

——【Damn, damn! He could even discover this? The treasure was actually hiding inside. No wonder Dean He didn't see it. It turns out this guy has good eyes. I seriously suspect he didn't see it with his eyes, but smelled it with his nose. Maybe he's a dog!】

——【Seeing the scriptures, I was stunned. Is this the quilt for the afterlife? I don't know what the use of ancient people making these fancy things is. After death, your bones were still thrown into the sewer by others. If you were just an ordinary person, who would have nothing better to do than split your coffin.】

——【I'm really speechless. Such a treasure actually fell into the hands of an ordinary person. If Fang Yang hadn't dug it out today, if he hadn't had sharp eyes, this treasure might have been buried forever. Even if someone else had pulled the coffin out, I guess it would have been cremated along with the bones and the treasure.】

——【I saw Cixi's shroud in the museum last time, it's very similar to this. At that time, the staff told me it was the only one in the world. Now the second one has been unearthed. You have to know this was used by an emperor. Any cultural relic related to an emperor, which one isn't worth a sky-high price!】

——【These people are stupid. If the Cultural Relics Bureau wasn't here, and they dug it out themselves, and sold it themselves, wouldn't they get rich! This thing is worth at least tens of millions. You could stop struggling for a lifetime!】

Dean He walked over involuntarily and touched it with his hand.

The assistant hurriedly lifted the sutra quilt to let him observe it better.

Only hearing Dean He muttering to himself: "Kesi technique, it's already lost! I didn't expect to see one here today."

"Back then, Qianlong's shroud was lost, and they looked for it for a long time but couldn't find it. I never expected it to appear here!" ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
