"Chen Ze, are you sure you have a way to open this mechanism?" Chen Wenjin was still very suspicious of Chen Ze.
"Of course, you guys stand a little further away!" Chen Ze waved to Chen Yating and the others.
"Okay!" The three nodded.
"Young man, I advise you to forget it. I have seen this thing before and it is very strong!" Chen Jianguo was afraid that Chen Ze would be injured, so he kindly persuaded Chen Ze not to mess around.
"Haha, don't worry, since I dare to come, I will definitely find a way!" Chen Ze didn't take it seriously.
"Master, don't be impulsive, this mechanism is very dangerous." Chen Yating said worriedly.
Chen Jianguo and Chen Wenjin both stared at Chen Ze nervously. They were curious about how Chen Ze would disarm the trap. After all, Chen Ze didn't show any special skills just now.
"Don't worry, just leave it to me. Look carefully!" Chen Ze said to Chen Wenjin and Chen Jianguo.
After saying that, Chen Ze slammed his legs on the ground and used his bouncing power to instantly leap into the air (Li Haohao).
I saw Chen Ze stepping on a stone coffin with his feet. Chen Ze kicked off the coffin lid hard and flew up.
"Bang——Bang——Bang——"
After three consecutive kicks, the coffin lid opened.
"Wow! So cool!"
“So handsome!”
Chen Yating and Chen Wenjin both let out bursts of exclamation, especially Chen Yating, whose eyes almost turned into heart shapes.
"Chen Ze, you are simply a role model for men, you are so powerful!" Chen Jianguo was also surprised by Chen Ze's skills. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chen Jianguo would not have believed that such a person existed in the world.
"This is just a small skill of mine!" Chen Ze said modestly.
"You are awesome!" Chen Yating clapped and shouted, "Master, I admire you!"
Chen Ze: "..."
"You two, stop making trouble!" Chen Jianguo stopped the two of them.
"Chen Ze, how did you open the coffin? The coffin lid is so thin, how did you kick it open?" Chen Wenjin asked curiously.
"My internal strength is relatively deep, I can kick it away with one kick." Chen Ze said nonsensically.
Chen Jianguo: "..."
Chen Wenjin: "..."
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. Please quickly see if my father-in-law and mother-in-law are inside." Chen Ze urged.
Chen Yating was also eager to see her parents, but Chen Yating did not forget to tell Chen Zedao: "Be careful!"
Chen Ze nodded and got into the sarcophagus.
"Hey, where are my parents' clothes?" Chen Yating said in surprise.
"Shh!" Chen Ze raised his index finger to signal Chen Yating to be silent.
Chen Ze walked around the sarcophagus several times and found nothing unusual, so he walked back.
"There is no one here!" Chen Ze said.
"How do you know?" Chen Yating asked.
"Look carefully. This sarcophagus is surrounded by a sealed state. This state does not conform to the characteristics of human breathing, so the people here have died long ago!"
"Ah? So you mean my parents are already dead?"
Chen Jianguo, Chen Wenjin and Chen Yating were all stunned.
"Well, although I don't want to believe it, your parents are really dead."
After Chen Ze finished speaking, he opened the top cover of the sarcophagus and exposed the bottom of the coffin.
The bottom of the coffin was covered with dust and piled with bones. Chen Ze estimated that these were the burial objects that Chen Jianguo mentioned, that is, the burial objects. "Chen Ze, look, my parents' relics!" At this moment, Chen Yating shouted.
I saw Chen Yating bending down to look for a wooden board. There were several things wrapped in cloth on the wooden board. These things were the cultural relics passed down by Chenjia Village from generation to generation.
"I know this!" Chen Ze took a closer look and recognized one of the items. It was the wooden box that Chen Ze found in Old Chen's study. Chen Ze wanted to take it back and study it.
"How do you know him?" Chen Wenjin asked doubtfully.
"Look over there, there are more over there!" Chen Ze pointed to several other bags and said.
Chen Wenjin walked over to check and found that there were indeed several similar cloth bags. However, these cloth bags were tattered and obviously used. Because they were old, the dirt on them had covered up the original color.
"Chen Ze, these things belong to grandpa. He has been putting them in the coffin for safekeeping." Chen Yating said.
"Did you misunderstand something? These things are antiques. I can't afford to pay for them. Besides, I don't have any use for them." Chen Ze felt that Chen Jianguo might be overthinking.
"What about this thing? Is it also valuable?" Chen Yating picked up a dark stone bead from the side.
"This?" Chen Ze looked at the stone bead.
This stone bead was round and smooth, and looked like something like jade, but Chen Ze could not feel its aura at all, so Chen Ze concluded that this thing was an ordinary stone.
"What is this? I can't understand it either!" Chen Yating looked at Chen Ze and asked.
"Oh, this thing! This is called a fallen star. This thing is not an ordinary stone. It is an ore, an extremely rare fallen star. It only appears under certain celestial phenomena and conditions. It is said that fallen stars It contains rich elements and is a treasure for cultivation!" Chen Ze introduced.
"Really?" Chen Wenjin has heard of fallen stars, but has never encountered them.
"Why should I lie to you? This thing is mentioned in the classics passed down by my ancestors, and it is also mentioned in our Chinese myths and legends, but it is not detailed and is not enough to prove it!"
Chen Ze said as he stuffed the fallen stars into his trouser pocket.
Don't throw this thing around. If it is lost, the whole Chenjia Village will be in a state of chaos.
"You actually carry such a valuable thing with you!" Chen Wenjin said in surprise.
Chen Yating looked at Chen Ze enviously.
"Haha, I like collecting the most. What do you think this is?" Chen Ze took out his backpack and placed it on the steps next to the sarcophagus, and then took out a long rope.
Chen Yating watched as Chen Ze skillfully put on the rope, tied the long rope to the top of the coffin lid, and then fixed the other end of the rope to the side wall of the sarcophagus.
After Chen Ze was ready, he began to pry up the sarcophagus. Chen Ze pulled hard with his hands, but the lid of the sarcophagus did not move at all. It seemed that there was something inside the sarcophagus that hindered the weight of the sarcophagus.
Chen Ze tried to lift the sarcophagus, but there was still no response.
Chen Ze raised his head and looked at Chen Yating, "Hold this place for me!"
"Okay~" Chen Yating replied, then pressed the lid of the sarcophagus with both hands, while Chen Ze held up the lid of the sarcophagus with both hands.
The sarcophagus slowly moved forward.
"Damn it, this coffin is really heavy. How heavy is it?" Chen Yating said in shock.
Chen Ze ignored Chen Yating and continued to push the coffin forward.
Finally, the coffin was moved away, revealing a corpse lying inside the sarcophagus. The corpse looked very young, but its face was full of wrinkles.
Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief and slowly tipped the coffin to the ground. Suddenly, the body of the man lying inside was exposed to the air. Chen Jianguo and Chen Yating immediately covered their mouths in disbelief.
Chen Ze was not in a hurry to check the condition of the corpse. After all, Chen Jianguo had just said that there were more precious treasures in the coffin waiting for Chen Ze to explore.
Chen Ze asked Chen Jianguo and Chen Yating to stay away. He needed to examine the body.
Chen Jianguo and Chen Yating retreated to the door. Chen Ze squatted down and inspected the corpse carefully. The first thing he checked was the skin condition of the corpse. Chen Ze reached out and touched it and found that the skin of the corpse had lost its elasticity and was even a little stiff.
Chen Ze pinched the right leg of the corpse and found that the left knee of the corpse was necrotic, purple in color, and severely decomposed.
Chen Ze pinched the neck of the corpse again. Chen Ze found that there were strangulation marks on the neck of the corpse, and there were light blood stains on the strangulation marks.
This indicates that the remains were abused during their lifetime. (End of chapter)
