Chapter 147 Bronze Coffin

Ye Yang pulled Professor Lu up and said, "Did you guys look at the back of the coffin?"

"I did!" Professor Lu said, "There's nothing special about it. I'll take you to see!"

Professor Lu led Ye Yang to the back of the bronze coffin. As expected, it was a smooth bronze plate. If the coffin was compared to a great hall, then the back would be the back wall of the hall.

No matter what material a coffin is made of, it will be made into the same style on both sides. For example, if one side is carved with beams and painted rafters, the other side will also have a similar appearance.

The reason why Professor Lu's team had not recognized the bronze hall as a coffin was precisely because of this.

Ye Yang raised his hand and gently tapped the side of the bronze coffin twice. The iron plate hit by his finger instantly shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

When the eaves and steps of the hall were revealed on the side of the coffin, Professor Lu exclaimed uncontrollably, "A coffin! This is really a coffin!"

Ye Yang's expression became even more solemn at this moment, because he saw that the direction of the people walking on the steps of the hall had changed.

The front of the coffin was people entering the hall, and the back of the coffin was people leaving the hall.

Those entering the hall were headless, and those leaving the hall had heads.

This clearly represented the transition between life and death.

Ye Yang gently touched the head of the statue on the back of the coffin and found that the statue's head could be moved. In other words, he could completely replace the head of the statue on the back with the mannequin on the front.

Ye Yang frowned slightly and said, "Professor Lu, please bring back the bronze heads that Zhang Huasheng sent you."

Professor Lu quickly handed the things to Ye Yang. Ye Yang took a few glances and casually threw them aside, "These are fake."

"Zhang Huasheng took out these heads and acted like a shaman over and over again. He just wanted to attract your attention so that you could find a way to force Zhang Huayang out."

Ye Yang's analysis was not without reason. Zhang Huasheng was, after all, a member of the Zhang family. He wanted to take back Zhang Fang's Greed Wolf (Tanlang) fate, but that didn't mean he would give up the Zhang family's plan.

He could let people discover the Greed Wolf Tomb, and he could use the bronze coffin to force Zhang Huayang to show up, but he would not hand over the secrets of the Greed Wolf Tomb to Professor Lu.

Perhaps, Zhang Huasheng had been prepared to kill and steal the treasure from the beginning. If Ye Yang hadn't come, Professor Lu and the others would have eventually died in the hands of the Zhang family, and the bronze coffin would have returned to the Greed Wolf Tomb.

As for who had been attacking Professor Lu and the others during this period, it was no longer important, because their goals were the same: to bring back the bronze coffin.

Professor Lu picked up the bronze head from the ground and looked at it repeatedly before saying, "He is indeed a master of forgery. He took advantage of our fear of looking at the bronze heads! If we had been bolder at the time, we would have discovered that these were fakes long ago."

Professor Lu held the bronze head and said, "Ye Yang, how should this coffin be opened?"

All coffins must be sealed. Ordinary wooden coffins are nailed shut with coffin nails. This kind of complex bronze coffin has risen to the level of a mechanism coffin.

The mechanism on the coffin is equivalent to a combination lock. If you can't crack the password left by Greed Wolf (Tanlang), no one can open this 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 on the front of the hall.

As the bronze head returned to its place, the section of steps where the bronze figure was standing on the back of the coffin collapsed, and bronze pieces the size of an inch fell to the ground one by one.

Professor Lu was so frightened that he quickly squatted on the ground and picked up the bronze pieces. "Ye Yang, be careful. We are doing archaeology, not tomb raiding. You can't destroy ancient sites casually."

Ye Yang said indifferently, "Look carefully, there are ten steps on both the front and back of the hall. Each step on the back has a person standing on it, but the positions are not the same. They look like they were just thrown on it."

"According to ancient etiquette, there are strict requirements for the order in which ministers enter and leave the hall to meet the king. They cannot overstep the rules at will. This shows that the mannequins behind the bronze hall are all decorations and have no use. The real use is the front of the hall."

Professor Lu hesitated and said, "This...this...how confident are you?"

"Not confident at all!" While speaking, Ye Yang, regardless of whether Professor Lu agreed or not, quickly pulled off the ten heads from the back of the coffin and placed them all on the front of the hall.

After the heads left, the eaves and steps behind the coffin all collapsed and turned into a smooth "wall" again.

"You, you..." Professor Lu pointed at Ye Yang, trembling with anger. In his opinion, Ye Yang was just acting recklessly.

Ye Yang still responded expressionlessly, "This is the way to open the bronze coffin. Just wait and see."

While speaking, Ye Yang placed all nine bronze figures on the first step.

It wasn't that Ye Yang didn't want to take down all the bronze figures, but the statue at the entrance of the hall could not be moved at all. Only nine people could move.

Professor Lu was really anxious now. "Ye Yang, stop! Do you know where the bronze figures were originally?"

"Stop...stop..."

When Professor Lu wanted to pull Ye Yang, he was pushed away a few steps by the other party's palm.

At the same time, the first bronze figure placed on the steps moved forward one step without any warning.
