he man off. She patted her chest and said, "Jian Ge, you go first. Here I'll help you urge them along. Little Headband Adult still needs you to speak up for him a few times, hehe," Chen Jian-sheng kep..."Damn it! The main chamber was hiding inside this turtle shell all along, everything before it were decoys!"

"I'll go in first to check it out, you guys follow behind," Lao San was nimble and quick. He took the lead and went in first.

My arm doesn't work, and my legs are hurt too. It was Hong Jie who pushed me from behind and forced me in.

"Cold....It's so cold, Third Brother. Why is it so cold in here" As soon as I walked in, I felt something was wrong. I didn't expect that even with a wall of solid gold separating us, the temperature difference between inside and outside would be this drastic.

"Achoo!"

This kind of cold gets right to your bones, even Hong Jie shivered and sneezed.

Then, our eyes were all drawn to the object lying horizontally in the center of the room.

That was a giant white coffin.

It was a white coffin....

On either side of the coffin, two bronze statues of soldiers about 1.8 meters tall were erected.

The bronze statue is clad in chainmail and wears a bronze helmet. It wields a bronze long sword, and the facial features carved on it are incredibly lifelike, resembling real people.

The bronze sword had some rust, and a layer of green patina had formed on its surface.

Two bronze figures, one on each side, stood like guards with swords drawn. They were tall and imposing, their arms raised in a gesture of defense for thousands of years. It seemed as if they were guarding the coffin before them, making anyone who looked upon them hesitate to approach.

Coffins and sarcophagi, there are coffins and sarcophagi.

The coffin itself is not very large, but if it were to be a full burial chamber, it would be quite big, roughly five to six meters long and wide. Only the central core of the chamber is used for the placement of the deceased's coffin.

Besides the bronze statue, what surprised me most was the white coffin before my eyes.

Anyway, when I walked past, the copper statue didn't move. It seems like it's there for intimidation purposes, just like the guardian beast.

Lao San touched the white coffin outside, and he suddenly exclaimed: "Damn it, Big Brother! Looking at this coffin from the outside, how does the color look so much like white mother-of-pearl!"

"White Abalone! How is that possible!"

"Have you ever heard of using a white conch shell as a coffin I've never even heard of such a thing."

In ancient times, how exactly was this craft done What was the purpose behind people choosing this material for their own coffins

Even Mr. Sun was startled.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes widened and he stammered: "Old... Old Third, I suddenly remembered something. It's a story mentioned by Fu Sheng, a scholar from the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the Shangshu Da Chuan. The story is about King Wen of Zhou (Ji Chang) being imprisoned by King Zhou of Shang. A nobleman from the Shang Dynasty wanted to save Ji Chang and presented King Zhou with a precious conch shell. Unexpectedly, after receiving the treasure, King Zhou went back on his word and even had the nobleman boiled alive. This is Fu Sheng's account from the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"> "

Hong Jie listened and frowned, saying: "Boss, do you mean that this Shang Dynasty nobleman presented the so-called pearl of Chariot to King Zhou to save Ji Chang, and this white coffin is it"

The boss's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "There's no way to verify it, it's all just speculation, but this underground palace is from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and Ji Chang also lived during that time. Let's not talk about other things for now, but this timeline does line up."

”

Looking at the massive white coffin before me, I was reminded of a scene I had encountered earlier. When I first came in and met Huang Changti, I saw a similar white coffin in the murals on the stone walls. In that mural, many ancient people were kneeling around the coffin, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.

Later, I thought it was a hallucination caused by smelling Huang Bai Lao's face.

“No, no, this isn't right,” Hong Jie refuted repeatedly: “White conch shell, dragonfly eye, flower glass, cat's eye stone, green jade, white crystal, sapphire, these were the Eight Treasures of Buddhism in the past. Among them, this white conch shell is an organic matter and the most difficult to preserve. It would be rare even from the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Western Zhou period! Unless some special method was used, it wouldn't have lasted this long!”

Hearing what Red Sister said, the Boss nodded. "Little Red, you're right. But we've been in this business for quite some time, haven't we We've seen our fair share of strange things."

"Let's not talk about how to preserve it for now. Just one thing, if what Fu Sheng wrote in his book during the Eastern Han dynasty is true, then it should explain one thing."

This Jiehou has a relationship with King Zhou Wen of the Zhou Dynasty, Ji Chang.

”h, and people almost vomited when they smelled it.Yinzi's corpse movements grew smaller and smaller. In just a few dozen seconds, he lay still on the ground.The old man's face was pale as he withdrew...
