Chapter 207 Behind the Scenes
Ye Yang pulled Professor Lu up and said, "Have you seen the back of the coffin?"
"I've seen it!" Professor Lu said: "There's nothing special about it. I'll show you!"
Professor Lu took Ye Yang to the back of the copper coffin. The back was indeed a flat copper plate. If the coffin was compared to a hall, then the position behind it would be the back wall of the hall.
No matter what material the coffin is made of, it will be made into the same style on both sides. For example, if there are carved beams and painted pillars on one side, the other side will also be painted in a similar way.
This is also the reason why Professor Lu’s team has never identified the Tongdian as the coffin.
Ye Yang raised his hand and knocked lightly on the side of the copper coffin twice. The iron plate hit by his fingers instantly shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
One side of the coffin exposed the eaves of the main hall. When walking up the stairs, Professor Lu exclaimed uncontrollably: "Coffin, this is really a coffin."
Ye Yang's face became more solemn at this moment, because he saw the direction of people's movement on the steps of the hall changed.
The front of the coffin shows people entering the temple, and the back of the coffin shows people leaving the temple.
Those who enter the temple have no heads, and those who leave the temple have heads.
This clearly represents the transition between life and death.
Ye Yang gently touched the head of the human figure on the back of the coffin, only to find that the head of the statue could be moved. In other words, he could completely replace the head on the back with the one on the front.
Ye Yang frowned slightly and said, "Professor Lu, bring back those brass heads that Zhang Huasheng sent you."
Professor Lu quickly handed the thing into Ye Yang's hand. Ye Yang looked at it for a few times and threw it aside: "This is fake."
"Zhang Huasheng took out these heads and pretended to be a ghost again and again. It was just to attract your attention so that you could find a way to force Zhang Huayang out."
Ye Yang's analysis is not unreasonable. Zhang Huasheng is a member of the Zhang family after all. Just because he wants to take back Zhang Fang's Greedy Wolf destiny does not mean that he wants to give up on the Zhang family's plan.
He can let people discover Tanlang's Tomb, and he can use a copper coffin to force Zhang Huayang to show up, but he will not give the secret of Tanlang's Tomb to Professor Lu.
Perhaps, Zhang Huasheng was prepared to kill people and seize the treasure from the beginning. If Ye Yang did not come, Professor Lu and others would eventually die in the hands of the Zhang family, and the copper coffin would return to Tanlang Tomb.
As for who the people who attacked Professor Lu and the others during this period were no longer important, because they had the same purpose, which was to bring back the copper coffin.
Professor Lu picked up the bronze human head on the ground and looked at it several times before saying, "He is indeed a master of forgery. He took advantage of our fear of looking at the bronze human head! If we had been braver, we would have done it long ago.
I can tell it’s a fake.”
Professor Lu held the bronze head and said, "Ye Yang, how should I open this coffin?"
All coffins must be sealed, and ordinary wooden coffins are nailed with coffin nails. This complex structure of copper coffins has risen to the level of a mechanical coffin.
The mechanism on the coffin is equivalent to a combination lock. If the code left by Greedy Wolf cannot be cracked, no one can open the coffin.
Ye Yang looked at it for a while, then gently took off a head from the back of the coffin and moved it to the corresponding position in the front of the hall.
After the bronze man's head was returned to its place, the steps on the back of the coffin where the bronze man stood collapsed, and copper blocks nearly an inch in size were scattered on the ground one by one.
Professor Lu was so frightened that he hurriedly squatted on the ground and picked up the copper block: "Ye Yang, be careful. We are doing archeology, not tomb robbing. You can't destroy ancient monuments casually."
Ye Yang said calmly: "Look carefully, there are ten steps on both sides of the hall. There is a person standing on each step on the back, but the positions are not the same. It looks like they were randomly thrown on top."
"According to ancient etiquette, there are strict requirements for ministers to meet the king and the order in and out of the hall, which cannot be exceeded casually. This shows that the puppets behind the copper hall are just decorations and have no function. The real use is the front of the hall."
Professor Lu hesitated and said: "This...this...how sure are you?"
"Not sure!" As Ye Yang spoke, regardless of whether Professor Lu agreed or not, he quickly pulled out the ten heads from behind the coffin and placed them all in the front of the hall.
After the heads left, the eaves and steps behind the coffin all collapsed and turned into a flat "wall" again.
"You, you..." Professor Lu pointed at Ye Yang and was shaking with anger. In his opinion, Ye Yang was just doing something wrong.
Ye Yang still responded without expression: "This is the way to open the copper coffin. Just wait and see."
As Ye Yang spoke, he placed all nine bronze figures on the first step.
It's not that Ye Yang doesn't want to take down all the bronze figures, but the figures at the entrance of the hall cannot be moved at all. There are only nine people who can move.
Professor Lu was really anxious now: "Ye Yang, stop it. Do you know where the bronze man's original location was?"
"Stop it... stop it..."
When Professor Lu wanted to pull Ye Yang away, he was blocked by the other party's palm.
