CHAPTER 602: 602 UNVEILED

It’s ten minutes until departure. The two of them stood aside, waiting.

"I’ll hold your hand, it’s safer this way."

Su Yuanyuan was neither pretentious nor did she refuse. After all, she was a novice in this area.

Walking on the plank, swaying. Su Yuanyuan found it quite thrilling.

In her past life, there was a glass walkway, which might have been scarier, but stepping on it was solid and fixed, unlike here. The danger was truly unknown.

"Don’t worry. We’ll be there soon."

Su Yuanyuan stared at the front, nodding gently.

The two of them crossed to the other side without incident. Su Yuanyuan still felt her legs go weak.

They turned to watch the two archaeologists crossing. They were quite old but still walked nimbly.

The third to come over were the grandfather and grandson of the Zeng Family.

Once everyone who was expected to cross had gathered, they all stood around the stone sarcophagus.

Someone was in charge of opening it. Frankly speaking, the stone sarcophagus was extremely cumbersome. It was very heavy.

Everyone helped, and yet it took two hours just to move the lid open. It truly wasn’t easy.

Inside was another stone sarcophagus, two sizes smaller. This one didn’t look as high-grade as the outer one, just an ordinary stone sarcophagus without any patterns.

An archaeologist exclaimed in surprise, "This is jade, wow, truly impressive."

Su Yuanyuan had no idea what jade was, but it must be quite precious, right?

Now she was even more cautious.

Once opened, a red wooden coffin was revealed. Between the jade sarcophagus and the wooden coffin, there was charcoal.

This was to absorb moisture. This was something worth studying. This woman really was quite formidable.

Everyone carefully cleaned out the charcoal, but there wasn’t any discovery.

Now, four hours had passed. A lot of planks had been prepared on the other side, and they were all thickened.

Next was the wooden coffin. Was this the last one?

Su Yuanyuan could now see inside. Wow, there were two well-preserved corpses.

Although not as lifelike as her master uncle outside, their faces could still be clearly seen.

The Zeng ancestor was truly beautiful, but the female ancestor was quite lacking.

She watched as two colleagues waited on the side with cameras, leaving it to the professionals to capture these precious memories.

The burial items with the two were indeed luxurious. Wow, they really were wealthy. Well, according to Zeng Hongling, the entire Zeng Family took generations to recover after their deaths.

Fortunately, not every member of the Zeng Family was a prodigal, otherwise it really would have been hard to say.

Su Yuanyuan observed carefully, feeling a kind of ethereal presence. She didn’t know what it was.

If Tan Shaoting were here, he would definitely know this place was perfect for corpse preservation. But now, people don’t study these things and naturally no longer believe in them.

Once the red lacquer coffin was opened, everyone gasped, and the archaeologists quickly injected preservatives. The two photographers snapped continuously.

The grandfather and grandson of the Zeng Family were also shocked to see the two people lying side by side in the coffin.

Everyone held their breath, now not daring to disturb the experts at work.

The faces of the two archaeologists were filled with excited smiles.

"These are the best-preserved bodies I’ve ever seen. It’s truly a miracle.

What kind of technique is this? Why is it like this?"

Su Yuanyuan also observed the two, curious about which of them had died first. Even Zeng Hongling didn’t say.

They lay there as if they had lain down themselves.

What was the situation, dying together? Is there such a coincidence?

Zeng Yaozu looked at the two, feeling no respect towards them in his heart.

Zeng Hongling and Su Yuanyuan only spoke of what she knew. In fact, these two could be considered sinners of the Zeng Family.

Some things were passed down orally in the Zeng Family, so Zeng Hongling didn’t know.

The two of them didn’t die together. They wanted to maintain a good image by using their own grandsons’ blood in the elixirs they crafted for immortality.

He had been searching for the formula, but over generations, it was never found, leading him to think it must have been brought into the coffin.

Who wouldn’t desire immortality? But he had limits and would never take his own grandson’s life.

Su Yuanyuan felt utterly disgusted after hearing Zeng Yaozu’s inner thoughts.

Could they still be considered human? What was the difference from beasts?

Just now, she thought of the two as an immortal couple, but now she didn’t even want to look at them.

So she focused on the burial items within the coffin.

The downfall of the Zeng Family was understandable. Any one of these items would be priceless in later generations.

Su Yuanyuan noticed that the female ancestor was holding something in her hand, it seemed like a jade bottle. What kind of custom was this?

Actually, archaeologists were mainly researching the bodies now because this was a named and, had descendants, cemetery.

Su Yuanyuan stepped back. Now there was nothing to hold her interest. She should leave it to the researchers.

She saw Shao Hongming also coming down, so she walked over along the plank.

"Go take a look, it’s quite amazing."

"Why are you back already?"

"I’ve seen it. Plus, the burial items inside are too extravagant. I’m afraid I’ll be seduced."

Shao Hongming laughed, "Okay, I’ll go take a look."

When Wei Guangxiang realized Su Yuanyuan had returned, he too turned to leave. Currently, the experts were busy because the textiles in the coffin were visibly oxidizing.

So many things were tempting to look at, but it was better to leave quickly.

He now held Su Yuanyuan in even higher regard. How could she not be curious about these things? And just leave like that?

He and Shao Hongming crossed paths, nodding as they walked past each other.

Su Yuanyuan sat on the side, waiting. Honestly, she felt disgusted by everything here. When Shao Hongming came over, she would go up. She really didn’t want to stay here any longer.

Wei Guangxiang came over and sat next to Su Yuanyuan.

"Why did you come over too?"

"You can see, but you can’t touch, so what’s the use? It’s just tempting."

"That’s exactly what I think. I’ll go up in a bit."

"I’ll follow you."

"What about your little master uncle?"

Wei Guangxiang gave a wry smile, "What else can I do now? If my little master uncle was just bones, I’d still have hope of taking him back for burial, but with the current situation, what can I do? He’ll just be studied by others."
