Chapter 195

The old rule, dig along the side, but the result was still a 'clang'.

He changed several angles in a row.

He could clearly feel that he had dug into stone.

The audience outside the field was excited; in the past, as long as this phenomenon appeared, it would definitely be a big find!

The thing below was much bigger than imagined.

"Won't it be another stone carving?"

"Sounds a bit like it, could it be a huge piece of jade!"

"Did you forget the tombstone just now? I think it might be a tomb chamber!"

"It really is possible!"

Fang Yang couldn't hear the discussions around him at all now, focused entirely on clearing the soil around the big rock.

After a while, a corner of the big rock was revealed.

It was square and had corners.

Chen Feng immediately exclaimed: "This is definitely not an ordinary rock!"

Fang Yang didn't reply, but continued to dig.

He didn't know what this was either, it looked like a large rectangular stone block.

It was covered in red and yellow soil, and even the stone inside couldn't be seen clearly.

However, as he dug, when deep pits were dug around it, everyone understood even less.

It was just a super big rectangular brick covered in mud, more than two meters long, about one meter wide, and about one meter high.

Now only the soil on the very top of the big rock hadn't been cleared.

Fang Yang stepped on the bucket again to dig away the soil on top, and before long, the entire appearance of the big rock appeared before everyone's eyes.

Unlike other places, the top was a small triangle, slightly protruding upwards in the middle.

Very clearly, this should be a coffin!

But this kind of coffin, Fang Yang was seeing for the first time, because it was a coffin made of stone.

And from the surface, there was no coffin lid, as if it had been cast directly.

Could it not be a coffin?

Holding a skeptical attitude, he jumped out of the car and walked over to check.

The system panel suddenly popped up.

【Coffin (Outer Coffin)】

【Era: Late Qing Dynasty】

【Length 2.4 meters, width 0.9 meters, height 1 meter, weight 2 tons】

【Material: Three-in-one soil (Three-in-one soil)】

【Three-in-one soil is a building material. It is composed of lime, crushed bricks, and fine sand, and has a certain strength and water resistance, mostly used for building foundations or road bedding....】

Fang Yang touched the place where the bucket had dug before with his hand, and there were some scratches.

He scraped off some grayish-white material from the top and rubbed it in his hand!

Chen Feng could say that since coming to Fang Yang's place, he didn't know how to do archaeology anymore; everything he saw and encountered was something he had never heard of.

"What is this? Is it a coffin or something else?"

Fang Yang threw away the Three-in-one soil in his hand and smiled: "It's a coffin, Three-in-one soil, have you heard of it!"

"Three-in-one soil?" Chen Feng thought carefully: "Heard of it, it seems to be something used in ancient times to build houses!"

"Right, the outside of this coffin is Three-in-one soil!"

Chen Feng was stunned: "You mean? This is an outer coffin!"

Fang Yang nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, there should be an inner coffin inside, and then a thick layer of Three-in-one soil was cast on top of it!"

"Then this... how could a coffin of this specification appear here?"

Zhou Guang saw a coffin dug out of his fish pond and had already exploded: "Why? How did this coffin appear here, and what kind of soil is Three-in-one soil!"

Fang Yang thought for a while and explained patiently: "Three-in-one soil is made by mixing lime, crushed bricks, and fine sand together. Unlike our modern cement concrete, people in ancient times could only use Three-in-one soil! And it was considered a very precious thing at that time!"

"Coffins are usually made of wood, but some rich and powerful tomb owners, in order to prevent their tombs from being robbed, would cast their coffins layer by layer with Three-in-one soil, just so that even if tomb robbers found it, they wouldn't be able to open it!"

"This kind of anti-theft measure is not something ordinary people can afford; it requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, so the owner of this stone coffin must be rich or noble. As for why it appeared here, maybe this is where he was buried back then, and the village moved here later!"

Zhou Guang and others nodded upon hearing this.

"The old people in the village say we all migrated from other places, it's been over a hundred years, and there were other surnames that migrated together at that time, not sure about the specifics!"

Chen Feng's eyes lit up when he heard Fang Yang's explanation: "According to what you said, is it highly likely that there are artifacts of great value in this coffin?"

Fang Yang smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, this coffin and the owner of the tombstone just now are together, both from the late Qing Dynasty. As for whether there are good things, I don't know!"

"It's okay, it's okay, such a good coffin can't be without good things! But the problem is, how do you open this thing? It's all sealed up!"

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

——【First time hearing of a fully sealed coffin, this is directly using the coffin as a tomb. If a tomb robber encountered this, they really wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Such a thick big rock, what can you use to open it? You can't possibly carry a chainsaw with you, and you can't move it. But the tomb owner never expected that someone would dig his coffin out now. I guess it will eventually be forced open.】

——【This kind of rich man's coffin probably contains all treasures, otherwise why would he make it so thick? Isn't it just to prevent theft! So looking forward to it, I always feel there are good things inside. It's just that things from the Qing Dynasty aren't that far away, so I guess the archaeological value shouldn't be that high.】

——【Coffin and outer coffin, this layer of stone is called the outer coffin, and the wood inside is called the inner coffin. A tomb with an outer coffin means the owner had status and identity during his lifetime. As for why his tomb had to be made so secret, it's unknown, maybe it was to prevent theft.】

——【Maybe he did it to prevent water from getting in. If water didn't get into this coffin, maybe the corpse is still there after opening it. Will a zombie jump out, wearing a big official's clothes, sharp-mouthed and fanged, one bite at a time, and no one at the scene will be able to run away? From then on, humanity enters the zombie era!】

Fang Yang looked carefully for a while and could only shake his head helplessly: "Can only use a chainsaw to saw it open!"

Chen Feng could only nod and immediately called the archaeology team members.

Fortunately, there were people nearby, and after half an hour, a very long power cord was connected, and they started sawing.

Harsh sounds and sparks came from the scene.

At this time, the onlookers were estimated to have long exceeded 3,000 people.

More and more people squeezed to the periphery and couldn't see anything.

But listening to the sound of the chainsaw inside, they wanted to come in and watch even more.

The road was already full of people, and passing vehicles were forced to stop.

Fortunately, dozens of traffic police officers riding motorcycles arrived at the scene.

They urgently cleared the road, allowing vehicles to pass with restrictions, while others set up roadblocks on the side of the road, prompting all vehicles to turn around on the spot.

The crowd being dispersed was only temporary; they would gather together again before long.

By then, with so many cars, it would be completely blocked.

As time passed, the stone lid of the coffin was sawed open bit by bit.

With a loud bang.

The scene inside was revealed.

Everyone instinctively wanted to crowd around to see, and the pressure on the police officers suddenly increased.

Strangely, after the stone coffin was opened, there was no inner coffin, but actually another outer coffin.

Chen Feng couldn't help but exclaim: "Earth-wood-wood structure, I haven't encountered this in all of China, first time seeing this kind of tomb structure."

Fang Yang nodded: "Indeed very rare, get ready to open the coffin, I just want to know if water got in here!"

The archaeology team immediately came up to open the coffin. The color of the outer coffin was yellowish, and opening it was relatively simple.

After lifting it, the black inner coffin inside was revealed!

At this very moment, everyone became nervous.

After all, this coffin was made so mysterious and was so afraid of being robbed, so there must be some incredible things inside.

Especially Chen Feng, his heart was almost jumping to his throat; his intuition told him there were definitely good things inside.

Five minutes later, everything was ready.

Following a shout from the archaeology team: "1, 2, 3, lift!"

Boom~~~

The coffin lid was lifted.

The imagined foul smell didn't come either.

Everyone looked at the coffin curiously.
