Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 276 Opening the Coffin

After half a month, Shi Fei heard the outside world again, but his heart was calm. He had long been accustomed to this kind of loneliness and silence.

He for once, he kept quiet.

He knew that he was sealed in a coffin. If he was discovered once, he would be discovered a second time. A coffin that might contain treasure would definitely be opened.

According to the atomic vibrations in his body, he calculated the time he had been sealed for, and found that it was only eight or nine hundred years.

Time was meaningless to him. Moreover, during this long period of time, he was sleeping most of the time.

This time, he heard more voices. Not only the two people from last time, but also others. One of the voices sounded familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

At this time, the people outside were discussing: "... Professor, this is the coffin where someone was talking last time."

Zigan responded slowly: "I have checked it, it is just an ordinary Song Dynasty coffin."

Old Zhou was sweating profusely, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his voice: "Why not open it here? What if there is a sealed old ghost inside? Once it leaves this tomb, it will be lawless!"

He had already noticed that something was wrong with this tomb.

Why is the tomb passage so wide?

Why can only their Xingshumen find it?

Could it be that this tomb was built by the predecessors of Xingshu Sect?

What does such a tomb mean to him?
Mystery after mystery weighed on his mind.

"Ha~" Zi Gan couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "If you want to talk about science, there is no such old ghost! Besides, it has only been a thousand years since the Song Dynasty. What's so scary about a thousand-year-old ghost?"

What’s so scary about a thousand-year-old ghost? Have you ever encountered one?
Lao Zhou was very confused and said, "But if I don't open it, I won't feel at ease! What if..."

"Don't be upset!" Shi Zichen, who was working nearby, said coldly, "You are indispensable in excavating this huge tomb now. You still have a good chance of getting your sentence reduced!"

Hearing the word "commuted sentence", Xiao Zhou immediately felt relieved. He said, "Dad, what are you worried about? You can't be worried that there are people here!"

He smiled, patted the coffin, and said, "You worry too much!"

Even if there was someone, after staying in the coffin for half a month, how could he not die!

Unless that person is not human!

Old Zhou looked at the coffin and thought about the full-blooded words of the person in the coffin half a month ago. He said to Zigan and Shi Zichen: "People will not starve to death in half a month. As long as there is water, people can live for two months."

He patted the coffin and said, "Hey, hey, hey, are you still in there? Don't play dead, make a sound and we will come to save you!"

Half a month ago, it was the person in the coffin who said “Hey, hey, hey” to him. Now it was him who said “Hey, hey, hey” to the person in the coffin.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Shi Fei naturally would not respond.

He is waiting.

"Open the coffin! Open the coffin!" Old Zhou held the coffin and wanted to open it. He really wanted to see if there was anyone inside!
Shi Zichen grabbed Lao Zhou and shouted, "Zhou Tian (Lao Zhou's real name), don't forget your identity! You are still a suspect!"

"Dad! What are you doing!" Xiao Zhou also stepped forward and grabbed Lao Zhou. Xiao Zhou was still young and wanted to seek leniency!

"I...I'm going to open the coffin!" Doubts and strangeness in his heart kept hitting Lao Zhou's heart, making him crazy. He didn't know what was going on here, but he knew there must be a secret in the coffin.

A strange tomb and a talking coffin.

He has been robbing tombs for half his life and has never encountered such a situation!

He had to find out the truth, otherwise he would not be able to sleep or eat! "If you don't open the coffin, I will not help you with stargazing and positioning from now on!" Lao Zhou threatened.

"Dad! Reduce the sentence!" Xiao Zhou said anxiously.

"Zhou Tian! Reduce the sentence!" Shi Zichen also said.

"I can't sleep or eat well if I don't find out whether the sentence is reduced or not!" Lao Zhou said loudly. For a tomb robber like him, if there is a coffin in front of him, there may be something fishy inside, and he will open it to find out.

How could he sleep!

"Whatever!" Zi Gan said helplessly when he saw Lao Zhou's expression: "Just open it! Anyway, the scene is already like this..."

In the normal archaeological process, a shed needs to be built for construction, and when digging, one shovel at a time needs to be used to dig slowly. When encountering cultural relics, one needs to use a brush to brush them bit by bit.

It is normal to work on an archaeological project for several years. If you encounter a large tomb, it is normal to work on it for decades or even several generations.

Now, the tomb is quite special. Without Lao Zhou's cooperation, they cannot enter this big tomb. They can only take away some valuable things like tomb robbers.

When he heard Zigan say to open the coffin, Lao Zhou struggled and said to Shi Zichen, "Let me go! The professor said to open the coffin!"

"Professor..." Shi Zichen looked at Zigan.

"It's just opening a coffin. We will need his cooperation in the future." Zi Gan shook his head and said.

Shi Zichen let go of Lao Zhou. In this operation, his authority over cultural relics was not as high as Zigan's.

"Don't play any tricks!" Shi Zichen warned Lao Zhou!

Old Zhou quickly waved to Little Zhou and said, "Son, come and help!"

Everyone has their own expertise, and the two of them quickly opened the coffin!

Lao Zhou gently pushed open the coffin lid, held his breath, and looked inside the coffin nervously! Would a ghost hand stick out from inside? Or was there a skeleton?

Or thousand-year-old zombies and old ghosts?

result……

Under the cold white light of the flashlight, there was only a thick layer of dust in the coffin. It was empty, with nothing in it!

"This..." Old Zhou was completely stunned.

How could there be nothing?

Didn’t someone speak before?
Shi Zichen also took a look and said with a smile: "What the hell were you doing just now! There is no one in the coffin!"

"Yes! Dad! There's nothing! There's only something in that coffin!" Xiao Zhou also said.

"Hurry up and work!" Shi Zichen patted Lao Zhou and said.

"I..." Old Zhou was still full of doubts. But for now, he had no choice but to help everyone transport the coffins out.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Shi Zichen always feels like there's one more person. But right now there are several departments working together, dozens of people, and he can't remember what everyone looks like.

When it was almost dawn, Zigan started to urge him, "Hurry up! Get out now! Otherwise you'll be locked up for the whole day!"

The tomb cannot be found during the day, and can only be dug up at night under the leadership of Lao Zhou. Wouldn’t that take a whole day?

When the group came out of the tomb, they saw the sun rising, and the tomb in front of them disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zigan watched the tomb disappear and turned back to say, "Set up camp and prepare for the shift change."
