"The moment the coffin is opened, the fragrance overflows! It's like a spring full of flowers, and the fragrance is refreshing!"

"And in the coffin is the target of our archaeological team - Concubine Xiang!"

"It is said that this Concubine Xiang, no matter in the cold winter months or the scorching summer, will always exude a strange fragrance from her body, which is very strange!"

"At that time, we just thought that this was just another historical legend!"

"But the moment the coffin was opened, all of us were shocked. This historical record is completely true!"

"The scent of the mummy in the tomb lingers for a long time. At that time, the entire base of our archaeological team smelled this scent!"

"Actually, we didn't have any guesses about the source of this fragrance."

"But until Xiangfei's coffin found an ancient jade that is almost the same as the one in front of me!"

When Professor Yang said this, he stopped completely.

But the archaeologists at the scene, as well as the audience in the live broadcast room, have fully understood.

It turned out that the one emitting this rich fragrance was the ancient jade in front of him.

And the so-called Fragrant Concubine became famous because of carrying this ancient jade with her, which exudes a peculiar fragrance at any time.

But at this moment, old Professor Zhou in the seminar couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the words.

"But I remember that this kind of ancient jade was only found in the tombs of the ancient Shu Kingdom! How could it appear in the tombs of the Ming Dynasty!"

Old Professor Zhou said doubtfully.

At this time, Professor Yang under the tomb also raised the same doubts.

"I remember... this kind of ancient jade is only unique to the ancient Shu Kingdom, and there will be no such ancient jade in the later dynasty?"

"Now this ancient jade suddenly appeared here... Hiss! This really confuses me!"

As he said that, Professor Yang looked at the ancient jade at the bottom of the pool, his eyes gradually became a little suspicious.

The experts present were equally puzzled, but they never got an answer.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the entire live broadcast room couldn't help but become a little dull, and all the experts fell into deep thought.

But at this moment, Ye Xiao's voice suddenly resounded in the hall.

"The answer to this question is actually very simple!"

As soon as these words came out, all the experts present immediately turned their attention to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao also turned his gaze to the big screen, and said slowly again:

"Emperor Jiajing raised so many Taoist priests, and he spent countless money on alchemy day after day!"

"During the initial period of alchemy, Emperor Jiajing spent countless sums, even mobilizing money from the treasury, and was criticized by others!"

"However, after recruiting alchemy Taoist priests, Emperor Jiajing raised these Taoist priests, but never took money from the treasury!"

"In the end, recruiting alchemy Taoist priests is just a cover. Emperor Jiajing's real purpose should be to rob the tomb! Fill the inner treasury with the money in the tomb!"

Ye Xiao said it lightly, but the experts present couldn't help being a little dazed.

That's right,

Throughout the ages, many emperors seem to have privately organized tomb robberies in order to fill the treasury.

Like Cao Cao, Xiang Yu, and even Qianlong once stopped the tomb robbery!

But Cao Cao robbed the tomb because he hunted treasures as military pay.

Xiang Yu's robbing the tomb is specifically robbing the tomb of the Qin Dynasty, and it is a great hatred for the country!

Qianlong's so-called tomb robbery is also equivalent to "robbing wood", repairing his own mausoleum with precious wood.

But the Emperor Jiajing in front of him was just looking for treasures to fill his internal treasury and use it for alchemy.

This can't help but make many experts present have a lot of senses about Emperor Jiajing.

Such a well-preserved ancient jade, which can still exude an incomparably strange fragrance, should be someone with a prominent status in the ancient Shu Kingdom.

For their archaeologists, such large tombs have countless cultural relics buried in them.

The history of the ancient Shu Kingdom was deeply faulted, and now the tomb has been stolen many times, which made the experts present feel rather chilled.

All of a sudden, everyone in the archaeological team under the tomb, as well as many experts in the seminar, couldn't help falling into silence.

On the contrary, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help becoming lively when they heard such anecdotes.

"Good fellow, it turns out that Emperor Jiajing and Ye Dao are traveling together!"

"No wonder, I said how did Ye Dao know so clearly, so he was with him!"

"Tsk! That's right, Ye is quite handsome! My colleagues are extremely jealous when they see their colleagues? So you can't wait to expose Emperor Jiajing?"

"Hahahaha! Ye Dao's purpose is impure!"

"However, this Emperor Jiajing is not a good thing at first glance! I remember that the original "Yongle Dadian" was lost here!"

……

Under the tomb

The archaeological team marched again on the floor paved with mahogany, passing a door curtain on both sides of the passage from time to time.

At first, when the archaeological team passed by the curtain, they would enter it to check.

Among the rooms behind these curtains, most of them have a coffin in the center of the house.

The style of the coffin is very ordinary, and the wood is also ordinary Chinese fir.

Hundreds of years have passed, and most of the coffins placed in these rooms have long since decayed.

The archaeological team put on sheepskin gloves and carefully opened one of the rotten coffins for inspection.

The corpses in the coffin had long since decayed, turning into a series of white bones.

"The bones are small and the pelvis is wide. This should be a female corpse!"

Professor Yang took a look and came to a conclusion.

But then, Professor Yang suddenly discovered something was wrong.

Because the placement of these bones...is too distorted, it doesn't seem like a normal way of encoffining.

Realizing that the situation was wrong, Professor Yang immediately expressed his doubts.

"The placement of this corpse... seems a little wrong! It's too distorted!"

When the rest of the experts heard this, they looked into the coffin again and suddenly noticed something was wrong.

In the coffin, the arm bones of this skeleton were scattered on both sides of the body, the leg bones seemed to be folded, and the head was even more deeply raised.

The female corpse was curled up before death.

Obviously, she suffered great pain when she died.

And the moment this idea flashed in his mind, Professor Yang suddenly shuddered.

He thought of a burial method that had been abandoned by everyone since the Warring States Period—living burial!

Immediately, Professor Yang hurriedly expressed his thoughts.

"Is this female corpse buried alive?"

All of a sudden, when everyone present heard the words, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their backs.

Burial alive is an ancient, extremely cruel way of burial!

……

Chapter 104 I don't understand, but someone understands

Generally speaking, living burials are mostly slaves and servants buried with them.

While still alive, special methods were used to stun the buried slaves.

While they were unconscious, seal them into coffins and bury them.

Often after these slaves woke up, they suddenly found themselves in the dark, but no one responded no matter how much they beat and shouted.

In the end, he slowly suffocated in darkness and despair, and died in pain.

This is an extremely tragic way of burial in the long-standing feudal superstition in ancient times.

It first started in Xia and Shang Dynasties, and was later abandoned during the Warring States period.

But to everyone's surprise, this tragic way of burial was resumed by Emperor Jiajing!

Subsequently,

The archaeological team explored several rooms in a row, and the results were not surprising.

The coffin placed in each room contained an extremely distorted female corpse.

Obviously, these were buried directly by living people.

The further they went down, the more silent the atmosphere among the archaeological team became.

In the end, the archaeological team also deliberately avoided whenever they encountered such a curtain that stored living coffins.

I am not choosing to explore the past one by one.

After a long time, the archaeological team finally reached the end of this passage.

Along the way, there are about 99 houses on both sides of the passage, and a coffin is placed in each room.

In other words, 99 people were forcibly buried alive.

What a frightening number.

For a moment, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help sighing a little, denouncing this inhumane act.

"The evil feudal superstition! 99 people were buried alive like this!"

"How painful this must be! Feeling the loss of one's own life little by little in the coffin is undoubtedly the most terrifying torture in the incident!"

"Fortunately, I live in this age full of sunshine!"

"We should be thankful!"
