Everyone worked together to cut a large hole in the trunk of the old banyan tree and moved out the transparent coffin.

The outside of this coffin is like jade, extremely smooth and transparent.

But when I shine it with a flashlight, the inside gradually turns red, and the color gets darker as I go inside. It seems to be some kind of flowing liquid, like blood.

The coffin is still entangled with scattered sawdust and various parasitic plant vines, making it difficult to see the full picture.

After Ye Bai had someone clean up the debris, he discovered that it was a rare jade coffin.

The jade coffin has no traces of being put together and seems to be carved from a single piece of large jade.

Chen Yulou stepped forward and touched the coffin lid with his hand, it was cold and lubricated.

It is truly a rare piece of beautiful jade, and what is even more rare is that it is flawless.

He couldn't help but sigh: "This King Xian is really luxurious. It is difficult to find such a large jade even in the palace."

Qi Tiezui also smacked his tongue and said happily: "Xian Wang is indeed rich, this trip is not in vain."

There are many exquisite patterns carved on the lid of the jade coffin, including mandarin ducks, swan geese, foxes and other small animals, rare birds and animals that symbolize auspiciousness and spirituality.

Everyone gathered around the jade coffin to look at it.

Ye Bai knocked on the coffin lid, and there was a dull sound.

This jade coffin does not have coffin nails, but is a drawer type. The jade plate used as the coffin lid has very tight slots on both sides.

As long as the jade plate is pulled out, the jade coffin can be opened.

Ye Bai couldn't help but sigh, he was a master with superb skills who could carve jade like this.

King Xian’s men are really talented.

"Third Master, there seems to be something inside!" At this time, Qi Tiezui, who put his eyes in front of the jade coffin, exclaimed in surprise.

It turned out that everyone moved the jade coffin out, and the red liquid inside soaked down, revealing the contents of the jade coffin.

A tall figure is reflected in this crystal jade coffin.

The shadow was extremely heavy and black, with a head and shoulders, and it looked like a corpse.

The body was soaked in red liquid and seemed to be very well preserved.

However, in front of everyone, the corpse suddenly turned over in the red liquid. This may be due to the bubbles surging in the liquid, but this scene really shocked many people.

Qi Tiezui stammered in fear and quickly hid behind Ye Bai.

Then a corner of the jade coffin began to ooze red liquid.

This liquid is thick, not blood, but rather like some kind of Chinese medicine.

Partridge Whistle took a little bit and sniffed it on the tip of his nose and said: "There are antiseptic Chinese medicines, which should be the liquid injected during burial."

Ye Bai nodded, not wanting to waste any more time, so he let everyone open the coffin.

If the thing inside is alive, then send it to peace as soon as possible to avoid being locked up in a closed space and lonely.

The two men stepped forward and slowly pulled away the jade plate, revealing the face of the coffin owner in front of everyone.

Buried in the jade coffin was an old man with a well-preserved appearance and white beard and eyebrows. The skin on his face seemed to have been soaked in red liquid for a long time, making it wrinkled and rosy.

This face really doesn’t look like a corpse from two thousand years ago.

"Third Master, this old man is fat. I don't know how long he has been dead. He is still not rotting. He will probably transform into a corpse. I think it is better to burn him." Qi Tiezui couldn't help but suggest.

Before Ye Bai could answer him, Chen Yulou heard a confused question: "Didn't the body turn over? Now its face is facing us, so was it put face down during the burial?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone thought about it and became extremely frightened.

The dead person will not be buried face down, which means that the body has been rolled in the red liquid before, so when everyone brought out the jade coffin, the old man was face down.

"Third Master, is the old man still alive?" Qi Tiezui suddenly felt horrified.

Ye Bai narrowed his eyes and walked forward slowly. He wanted to see if the old man was a human or a ghost. He actually used the jade coffin as a swimming pool!

However, as soon as I reached the jade coffin, thick dark clouds came from nowhere in the sky, blocking the sunlight, and the forest instantly became dark.

Lightning and thunder thundered in the dark clouds with great force. Everyone was attracted by this scene and looked up, but at the same time, there was also a gloom and uneasiness that cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.

Is this old man going to become an immortal?

Ye Bai quickly asked everyone to retreat. He had seen this scene before, and it was the same as the scene when Xiao Hei turned into a dragon, but the momentum was a little different.

A purple thunderfire fell from the sky, and the jade coffin exploded.

The old man in the jade coffin was charred and smashed in front of everyone's feet. The body was still emitting black smoke, and the air was filled with the smell of meat.

Then the dark clouds dispersed and the sky became clear again.

Ye Bai couldn't help but shake his head. This old guy couldn't even resist a thunderbolt and went west. He was far behind Xiao Hei.

Seeing Ye Bai step forward, Qi Tiezui became bolder and even kicked the old man with his feet. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the old man had been killed by thunder.

Unfortunately, this valuable jade coffin also fell into pieces under the thunder and fire.

This thunder struck strangely, and seemed to be specifically aimed at the corpse in the jade coffin, indicating that there was indeed something strange about this corpse. If it survived the thunderstorm completely, it might really be resurrected.

The surface of the corpse had been completely carbonized, so Ye Bai had it burned. He also saw Qi Tiezui picking up fragments of the jade coffin on the ground, as if he had discovered something.

Chen Yulou also picked up two things, presumably the burial objects in the jade coffin.

One was a gold mask, which was stained with red liquid. After it was wiped clean, it was discovered that the shape was extremely weird, and there were many strange symbols on the mask.

There are dragon horns on the head of the mask, the mouth is shaped like a tiger's mouth, and the ears are shaped like fish tails, making it look very ugly and ferocious.

This mask may have been worn by wizards or priests during rituals. It is of great value to the study of the culture of the ancient Dian Kingdom and is considered a treasure.

However, what frightened Partridge Whistle was that there were circles of vortex shapes on this golden mask.

This vortex has a simple composition and looks a bit like an eyeball.

This familiar carving pattern is very familiar to Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou. It is exactly what Muchen Bead looks like.

It seems that King Xian is inseparable from owning the Muchen Bead!

The second thing is a short dragon-tiger staff. Judging from the material, it should be made of a green stone.

This short dragon-tiger staff is similar to a rolling pin, slightly curved, with a dragon head on one end and a tiger head on the other.

The dragon and tiger have simple shapes, but their facial features are smart and full of age.

Chen Yulou speculated that the age of this short staff can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, probably when the ancient Dian Kingdom first originated.

After Ye Bai briefly inspected the two treasures, he saw that Qi Tiezui was still piecing together the fragments of the jade coffin, and most of them had been completed.

"Third Master, come and take a look, you've made a big discovery!"

It turns out that there are many patterns and words carved on the inside of the jade coffin.

There is an unexpected amount of information on it, describing in detail the construction process of King Xian’s tomb and a crucial companion tomb.

This is the tomb site and the burial place of the high priest.

It is said that the ancient Dian Kingdom was three counties established by Qin Shihuang. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Chu and Han Dynasties merged, and the world was in turmoil. These three counties adopted the strategy of seclusion to control the country, closed off communication with the north, and established an independent country.

Later, during the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the King of Dian for the ancient mythical Muchen Bead.

There was a disagreement within the Dian Kingdom, and King Xian fled with Muchen Pearl, traveling far into the mountains of western Yunnan.

Of course, the record on this jade coffin is that of Xian Wang’s bravery and righteousness, protecting the treasure from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It took a total of twenty-seven years to build the Tomb of King Xian. The manpower required for the construction was always around 100,000. In addition to slaves, there were also many local ethnic minorities, which took almost the entire country's efforts.

Seeing this, Qi Tiezui finally understood why King Xian was so rich. How could he not be rich by lying on the heads of more than 100,000 people and sucking blood?
