The danger lay in these sarcophagi.
The Taoist priest was trembling alone, but the people beside him were all captivated by the sarcophagi and hadn't noticed.
"Although the sarcophagi above are covered in blood, their material is bronze, and they are heavy coffins. These should belong to the Qin Dynasty period."
"Bronze technology wasn't very skilled back then, so the sarcophagi crafted were very heavy and crude."
Professor Tang, standing behind, reached out to touch one and then tapped it with a pen, beginning to estimate.
The architecture champion looked at the structure of the coffins, as well as the patterns and carvings on the walls…
It gave a false impression. They had initially thought this was a Buddhist cave, but now it seemed to be just a stone wall, made of granite. It would be difficult to fix anything to this.
The architecture champion lowered his head, wanting to see how the coffins were secured. The more he looked, the more he saw, the bottom was covered in scarlet blood, completely obscuring the coffins.
They couldn't see what was at the very bottom. Were they suspended?
A question had been circling in the architecture champion's mind.
Damn, how was this done?
"Ancient people valued burial in the earth the most. How could they bear to set up these sarcophagi as hanging coffins? And there's so much blood covering them."
"Even if I'm not a Taoist priest, I can tell that there's nothing good inside these sarcophagi."
The historian felt a bad premonition surge within him.
Especially since the scarlet blood on these sarcophagi had not dried up over the years…
Everyone's faces looked grim.
The things within were absolutely not something humans could do. They would never believe it, even if they were beaten to death.
Inside the live stream.
"Damn it, their faces don't look good. What's going on? Is the situation serious?"
"I don't know, but the fact that this blood hasn't dried up makes me feel terrible. Someone please explain!"
"Is that granite above? Ordinary tools can't penetrate this stuff. How are these coffins hanging?"
"Could there be ghosts?"
…
The paleontologist, Olympic champion, and gymnastics champion behind them didn't understand much about cultural relics. They looked around, and as they looked up, they all froze.
They had come down from the cliff, but looking up from below the cliff, it wasn't dark.
Instead, it formed various light-colored clouds, interspersed with golden light, and occasionally, petals would drift by.
Especially the clouds, layered upon layer, giving a visual sense of thirty-three heavens.
Above these clouds, each layer was adorned with golden light, exuding sanctity and majesty…
The Olympic champion and the gymnastics champion only took one glance before their bodies stiffened, and they began to break out in a cold sweat.
As if they had been acupoint-struck.
No, this place was too bizarre, too strange.
Had they entered a tomb, or a Taoist temple?
How could such a scene appear here…
The historian and Elder Tang, seeing that everyone was looking upwards, felt suspicious and followed their gaze. It was better not to look, but looking made them jump in fright.
"Holy cow, what is this?"
The historian finally couldn't help but blurt out a curse.
Following this rough exclamation, the others around them also looked up, their faces changing in unison.
The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
At this moment—
*Boom—*
A sound came from the bronze sarcophagus.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Zhou Lin, dozens of meters away, wearing gloves and forcefully pushing the coffin lid.
"Zhou Lin, what are you doing?"
The historian's brow twitched, and he quickly shouted.
"Of course, I'm going to take a look. Don't tell me you're not curious about what's inside."
After Zhou Lin spoke, he exerted force with his arm and pushed the coffin lid open.
Everyone: …
The live stream: …
Curious!
Elder Tang, the historian, and the archaeological team walked to the side of the coffin and saw a colorful, very thick snake lying inside.
The female member of the archaeological team behind them let out a scream upon seeing such a snake and instinctively shrank back.
The others were once again dumbfounded.
Why was there a snake in this coffin? If it were a person, it would be somewhat acceptable, but a snake…
It was very hard to accept.
"I thought there would be money. Do these coffins have no burial goods at all? Are they that poor?"
Zhou Lin looked at the snake with great disappointment.
Elder Tang's mouth twitched, and he was speechless to the extreme. How could he be so greedy?
Even if there were burial goods inside, they wouldn't belong to him; they could only be handed over to the state.
Why was he so disappointed?
The archaeological team and the historian looked at the sarcophagus. Although there was a snake inside, its body showed no signs of decay.
Judging by the material of the bronze sarcophagi they had seen earlier, these were at least a thousand years old…
The historian's eyes widened abruptly.
These ancient coffins could preserve things?
Live stream.
"I absolutely did not expect that I thought there would be a terrifying corpse inside, but I never imagined it would be a snake…"
"Holy crap, what kind of snake is this? It looks so big! This snake gets such good treatment… My living self is not as good as a snake."
"Is this the point? Shouldn't your focus be on why this snake is in a coffin?"
"Exactly, exactly. It's amazing that this snake is still intact. That alone is incredible."
"I forgot until you mentioned it. How can this snake be preserved? It's been so many years, and it's fine."
…
"Esteemed elites from all walks of life, don't think about it anymore, and don't be curious. Don't you find this snake very familiar?"
"The thirty-three heavens seen above are all because of these snakes. What you see is not necessarily real, and what you don't see is not necessarily false."
Zhou Lin suddenly smiled faintly at everyone, a very bright smile.
"Brother Zhou Lin, do you know what this is?"
The Taoist priest, upon hearing this, hurriedly asked.
"Want to know? Add more? Five thousand yuan per question, okay?"
Zhou Lin chuckled and held up five fingers.
The Taoist priest's joy disappeared upon hearing this.
Damn it, all you know is money. He came here for money, and before he even got it, he was in debt.
Are you kidding me???
"Tell us quickly."
The historian looked at him impatiently.
"Haven't you heard the story of the beautiful snake? I'm a novelist, and I collect all sorts of interesting stories, including the beautiful snake."
"It is said that this beautiful snake is a demon that can transform into a beautiful woman and loves to eat human flesh the most."
