When I heard this, my heart suddenly sank.

If it is true as what Gai Wancheng said, then this is indeed a bit impossible.

I said: "If that's the case, alas..."

When everyone saw me like this, they couldn't help but become confused.

I said to Li Kun and Xu Tian: "When we found the coffin of the ancient Jinchan clan leader, we didn't see that the Jinchan ancient clan leader turned into a monster that was neither human nor ghost. If this Zhali clan member

If we really exchange with the Golden Toad Ancient Clan, the leader of the Golden Toad Ancient Clan will also accept the Heart of the Sacred Willow, after all, the Heart of the Sacred Willow was rumored to be miraculous back then."

At the end, I shook my head and said: "Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, if we want to determine whether the Zhali people have cold elixirs, we should first open the coffin and take a look. If there is, then everything will be fine. If

If not, we will take away the square sky ball and the moonlight."

After listening to what I said, everyone nodded.

Then I turned around and looked back and forth, and I couldn't help but feel strange when I saw that the bottom of the coffin was being held up by a square stone pillar.

I shook my head. Although this stone pillar looked weird, there was nothing special about it. The only special thing was that if we want to open the coffin now, we must first open the ice layer on the coffin.

Everyone walked to the coffin and took a look. The thickness of the ice layer above the coffin was almost ten centimeters, and the overall appearance was very thick.

But the only thing that everyone is not lacking now is tools for digging and shaving ice. Except for Captain Fang, Cheng Daudao and Saji, the rest of us are carrying tools on our bodies. We can't help but have some folding tools.

An engineer shovel, even a crowbar and a hammer are indispensable. After all, these are the most used items in the tomb.

The entire coffin was covered by this layer of ice, and even the square stone pillars below were covered with a thick layer of ice.

Regardless of whether the coffin is movable or not, it is now wrapped in ice. Even if there is a mechanism, it cannot be activated as it is now.

Seeing this, I waved my hands to a few people, indicating that everyone should start working now.

Seeing this, several people picked up the things in their hands and started working on the coffin one by one.

As expected, Gai Wancheng has been working in the archaeological team for so many years, and he is a bit like Professor Zhang.

When breaking the ice, he did not forget to tell us: "Be careful, don't destroy the coffin inside, it is also a cultural relic."

Li Kun rolled his eyes and said, "Returning cultural relics. The most cultural relics are in the Crystal Palace. What kind of cultural relic is such a broken coffin?"

Lao Qian said: "The teacher is right, this coffin is indeed a cultural relic."

As he spoke, Lao Qian touched the coffin that had been torn open and said, "Look at the material of this coffin. Thousands of years have passed. There is still no major damage to the material of this coffin. Others

Not to mention, this wooden coffin alone can be put on display in a museum."

Hearing this, Li Kun couldn't help but turned his head and looked at me and said, "So, this coffin made of willow heart is quite valuable?"

Lao Qian nodded and said: "Of course it is valuable. It has a history of thousands of years, and it is also the heart of a willow tree. I have never seen such a thing in my whole life. This is not only a cultural relic, but also very rare and very rare in the world."

What a rare thing."

Xu Tian said: "That's true. After all, this willow coffin is made of such a thick willow tree. Its value cannot be measured by money."

Li Kun said to me: "Old Liu, which one is better, the coffin made of golden nanmu that we saw last time or this willow coffin?"

Hearing this, Gai Wancheng immediately became interested and asked: "What age is the coffin made of golden nanmu?"

Li Kun told everyone about the coffin of the owner of the general's tomb, and Gai Wancheng praised him repeatedly after hearing it.

While gritting his teeth and using a crowbar to pry the thick ice layer on the coffin, he said: "If the two are really compared in terms of value, the golden nanmu is better. Looking at the Song Dynasty, the coffin made of golden nanmu

Only the royal family can use it. If it is not a gift from the emperor, anyone who uses golden nanmu as a coffin will be executed."

"So in terms of value, the golden nanmu is better. Moreover, the golden nanmu is insect-proof and antiseptic. It is said that it can prevent corpses from decaying for thousands of years. It is certainly much better than this willow coffin."

Hearing this, Li Kun nodded and said, "If you put it that way, this willow coffin isn't that great either."

Lao Qian said: "Hey, you can't say that. Although the golden nanmu is the best material for the coffin, if the two are added together and compared with each other, the willow coffin will be better. Of course, it must be the same.

It’s inseparable from the excellent terrain here.”

Li Kun said: "Anyway, the terrain here is good, so the golden nanmu coffin is not as good as here. Is that what you mean?"

Lao Qian nodded: "That's right, that's what it means."

Seeing a few people actually talking about the coffin, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Xu Tian patted me next to me and said: "Old Liu, use the crowbar to break it down a few times to see if you can get down. I have almost cleaned up the surrounding area."

I nodded and used the crowbar to dig into the ice that Xu Tian had cleared. However, even after several times, I couldn't penetrate very deep, let alone break it off.

Hu Dalong walked up to me, shook the hammer in his hand, and said, "Boss, let me do it."

I nodded. Hu Dalong reached out and grabbed the crowbar. He picked up the hammer and hit the crowbar hard several times. Immediately, the flat end of the crowbar plunged into the ice.

Captain Fang and Lan Wantian were also busy at the other end with the same movements as Hu Dalong, and the sound of knocking could be heard endlessly.

After everyone worked for a while, they finally revealed a circle around the coffin. Immediately, everyone began to remove the soul-sealing nails on the coffin one by one.

After cleaning up all this, everyone's hands were red from the cold.

Li Kun said: "Hurry up and open the coffin. I can't stand it anymore. It's colder than the winter in the Northeast. It freezes me to death."

Hu Dalong said: "Well, that's all good for you. Look at me. I don't wear half as much as you do. Look, my nose is so cold that my snot is flowing straight down. I have to wipe it all the time.

, otherwise it would be frozen by now."

As he spoke, Hu Dalong did not forget to raise his hand to wipe his nose.

Seeing Hu Dalong like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

After removing all the soul-sealing nails, I nodded to everyone, and then each of them used the crowbar or engineer shovel in their hand to dig into the gaps in the coffin.

Because the gap has been filled with ice, if the ice is not removed, the coffin lid will definitely not be opened.

After working for a while, it's all finally done.

Hu Dalong said: "I didn't expect that opening the coffin would be so troublesome."

I smiled and said to him: "Master Xunlong has another rule, which is to worship ghost incense."

As I said that, I lit the ghost worship incense from my backpack and inserted it on the ice at the front of the coffin.

After I told Hu Dalong once, Hu Dalong nodded.

I turned around and said to everyone: "Okay, get ready to lift the coffin."

Having said that, Gai Wancheng and others took a few steps back, while Lan Wantian, Hu Dalong, Li Kun, Xu Tian and the rest of us came to both sides of the coffin, while Li Kun walked to the front of the coffin.

I nodded to a few people, and then everyone inserted their hands into the gaps in the coffin, and everyone started to lift the coffin lid with all their strength.

The coffin lid had indeed been sealed by ice for so many years. With the combined efforts of several people, the coffin lid suddenly made a clicking sound.

The ice layer in the gap between the coffin lid began to crack piece by piece. Immediately, I shouted in my mouth: "Open!"

After the words fell, the five people all used their strength together. After hearing a few cracks, the entire coffin lid was lifted up by several people in an instant.

I rubbed my hands and nodded to Li Kun. Li Kun walked over to where Hu Dalong and I were. Immediately, the three of us worked together to slowly move the heavy coffin lid to the right.

After the coffin lid was moved by the three of us, the three of us used our strength again and lifted the coffin lid directly.

The moment the coffin lid landed, everyone picked up lighting tools and shined light into the coffin.

But the scene that caught their eyes still made everyone stunned.

The coffin is not filled with gold and silver jewelry and other items. There are not many things in it, only a few simple things.

Gai Wancheng couldn't help but said: "I think the objects in this coffin should be some of the things that the Zhali tribe leader came to wear or carry with her that are very important to her."

We saw that the body in the coffin was really a female body. The woman in the coffin showed no signs of decay as we thought.

The body height of the female corpse was approximately over 1.9 meters, which was much higher than everyone present. This also confirmed that this woman was a member of the Zari tribe.

The height of the Zhali tribe is very similar to that of the ancient Golden Toad tribe, but the height of the women is obviously much shorter, and may be the same height as the men. But along the way, we did not go to the Crystal Hall specifically to look for coffins, otherwise

I might as well take a closer look.

The entire coffin lid showed a dark red color, which seemed to be some kind of dye, and this red color also corresponded to the clothing on the corpse.

The clothes on the corpse are very beautiful, somewhat similar to the clothes of the Yi people today, but the styles are quite different.
