Chapter 1044: Chapter 1043: Nine Giant Coffins

Report it to the relics department?

That’s definitely not possible; otherwise, if the relics department comes in for excavation, won’t the land bought at auction here be unusable for construction?

So, when Secretary Lin just mentioned it, the heads of the engineering teams immediately said, "We definitely can’t. If the relics department staff comes here, we might have to stop work. Moreover, if this really is some kind of celebrity grave, we’re afraid this whole area can’t be developed."

Su Group invested billions in the auction. If development can’t proceed, wouldn’t it be a free gift to the country?

Secretary Lin agreed, so he didn’t speak further.

"We can’t notify anyone else."

Master Yuan also said.

He wasn’t very clear on what was below, but it didn’t seem to be ordinary relics.

Upon hearing Master Yuan’s words, Secretary Lin remained silent.

The excavator had stopped digging, and now some engineering team members jumped down and began carefully digging with small shovels.

The more concrete they excavated, the more golden areas were exposed. Eventually, the entire area of over twenty square meters was covered in these objects.

At first, these people thought it was gold; otherwise, why would the shine be so strong?

But after carefully examining it, they realized it wasn’t gold; it looked more like brass.

It should indeed be brass!

Even if it’s brass, such a large relic, the engineering team members thought, would surely bring wealth.

"Keep digging!"

Master Yuan said.

Looking at this area, he found his prediction accurate—that such things were indeed buried below.

From the exact south, north, east, west, and center, when those engineering team personnel jumped down and continued digging, the uncovered gold-colored objects became more abundant.

Finally, about twenty square meters were covered in gold-colored areas exposed, only the top layer visible; how deep it went was still unknown.

But now they knew the extent of this area.

Thus, they could begin deep digging from a side with the excavator.

The excavator dug deep, piling up the removed soil at one side as the eyes of Master Yuan and others inspected the depth.

When the excavator reached six or seven meters deep, leveling out the surface, it dug two or three meters down further until finally stopping.

Now, they started digging from all four sides, and when the surrounding was fully excavated, others around began to look over.

Located exactly south, now the surroundings were fully excavated, and a six or seven meter deep layer lay with two objects side by side.

They were almost identical to the items Master Yuan had discovered on the diagrams, each six to seven meters long, three to four meters wide, and two to three meters deep, found similarly in the south, north, east, and west.

South of the northern side are two objects side by side, while at the center it was just one.

"Master, this seems like a coffin!"

The apprentice whispered while looking down.

Master Yuan had already realized that; it was indeed a coffin.

However, whether these coffins were entirely made of brass, he wasn’t sure, nor did he know if there was a thick layer of brass coating outside.

"Master, what do we do now?"

"First, lift them all up."

Now there are excavators, cranes here, and no one knows how heavy these things are.

But certainly, they must first be dug up.

Upon seeing this scene, the engineering team leaders and other workers became very excited; even if the coffins weren’t made of gold, if they’re brass, they’re certainly worth a lot.

As the saying goes, those who see it have a share; otherwise, even if exposed, the losses would go to Su Group.

The surrounding leaders instructed engineering team members to tie up the nine coffins and lift them out.

Initially planning to use ropes, it was clear ordinary ropes were insufficient to bear the weight, risking falling without extremely thick steel cables.

The engineering team leaders climbed up, tied the south, north, east, west, and center nine coffins with steel cables, then used cranes to lift them out.

"Slow down, slow down!"

The engineering team leader commanded.

It took about half an hour for all the coffins to be lifted up.

As everyone went to inspect, they discovered these enormous coffins; it was their first time seeing such; might they hold royalty or nobility inside, otherwise why such coffins?

Master Yuan examined the coffin’s exterior, finding no dragon carvings but imprints of talismans covering the outside.

Ordinary people couldn’t understand, but as Master Yuan was a descendant of Yuan Tiangang, he recognized these as talismans used to suppress evil spirits and demons.

"Master Yuan, what do you see?"

Secretary Lin asked.

Yet Master Yuan remained silent.

Did he see it wrong?

But he felt it was impossible. He knew there were things below, and only by excavating would he resolve the Feng Shui here.

"Master, I see a lot of gold and silver treasures inside; should we open it?"

These coffins, measuring six or seven meters long, three to four meters wide, and two to three meters high, could surely hold many things.

And judging by the brass coating outside, even in ancient times would have been a massive consumption.

In ancient times, Copper Coins largely contained brass properties, so brass was directly used for coinage.

Looking at the surrounding engineering crew, the exterior already seemed so valuable, leading them to believe the contents must be even more expensive.

Master Yuan felt it was ominous and wished to dissolve the coffins quickly.

However, with so many people wanting to see, he was also curious about the contents.

"It’s not easy to open these!"

Master Yuan commented.

"It’s quite easy,"

an engineering crew member said.

They constructed scaffolding, then used steel cables to anchor one end to a truck, and as the truck pulled, the top layer of a coffin began to slide open.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The friction noise echoed frequently; had relics department personnel been present, they’d have surely stopped it.

After all, it would be a severe detriment to the relics.

But now the excited truck driver pressed forward with full power.

"Stop!"
