Take out the climbing rope and tie a large knot. From the position of the head of the coffin, let it go down with the rope and gently pull it back.

  Another one from the foot position down, Cha Wenbin shouted: "Got it! Slowly pull it up!"

  As the rope was slowly pulled out of the water, at the moment it left the surface, a well-preserved corpse appeared.

  This was the corpse of an old man, with wrinkles on his face and a goatee. What caught peoples attention was that this person had a pair of huge ears, and his eyeballs protruded severely outward, making him look very frightening. Fortunately, both people were quite brave, they just slightly furrowed their brows.

  This persons physique, even by todays standards, is still quite tall and majestic, with a height of over 1.8 meters. The entire body, except for some slight swelling of the skin, is intact, including the clothes he was wearing, which are undamaged. From the fabric exposed above the water, Xiaozhi could tell at a glance that it was silk! And it was still colored green silk!

  Due to his archaeological experience, Chaozi did not let the ancient corpse completely leave the water surface, and the whole body was still soaked in the red liquid. The entire outline and appearance were already very clear. It was a great surprise for them that an ancient corpse of thousands of years old was unearthed here, and it was so well preserved.

  Cha Wenbin, as a Taoist, was not interested in the ancient. For him, the corpses death and non-decay required not only excellent Feng Shui but also extremely high anti-corrosion technology and coffin sealing. According to the water level of the ancient well, this place should have been submerged in underground river water all year round. However, judging from the height of the liquid in the coffin, not a single drop had seeped in over thousands of years, making him admire the funeral techniques of the ancients.

  "Super, what do you think of this corpse?"

  Originally, Chaozi was still filled with anger towards the host here. Now, however, this corpse has become a treasure in his eyes. Excitedly, he said: "From an archaeological perspective, this is absolutely a miracle. I should be able to call it a wet mummy. This is similar to the female mummy unearthed from Mawangdui in Hunan, but obviously, this one is much better preserved, just like its just fallen asleep. From an archaeological value alone, its already a top national treasure. And this silk, if we only consider its age, should be the earliest silk fabric discovered to date. It can be said that every single item here is worth a city!"

  Chen Wenbin listened to Chaozis explanation and couldnt help but glance at the coffin a few more times, suddenly feeling that something was off: "Huh, Chaozi, have you noticed a problem? When people die, they become stiff, this is certain. But look at this male corpse, we lifted his head and feet from both sides, why did his middle section sink to the bottom of the water so much?"

  When he said that, Chaozi also found it strange. The male corpse floating in the water seemed to have no support at all between his chest and abdomen, and the clothes he wore had sunk down into the water, only a small part of which could be vaguely seen.

  Zha Wenbin carefully poked the hilt of his sword at the abdomen of the male corpse after getting Supers consent, and the clothes sank down to the bottom of the water under the force, and could no longer be seen.

  After drawing out the scabbard, the two of them exchanged a glance and understood one thing: apart from his head and limbs, this persons torso was empty!

  Cha Wenbin was puzzled, muttering to himself: "Empty? How can this be? According to the arrangement of this formation, there must be a complete corpse here to lock in the soul and prevent it from dispersing."

  Chaozi said, "Could it be that it has already rotted? That doesnt seem right either. Looking at the preservation of its limbs and head, its torso shouldnt have rotted completely. Lets pull it up and take a look."

  Cha Wenbin carefully inserted the scabbard into the coffin, then slowly lifted it up. As the clothes left the liquid for a moment, a stream of fresh blood surged out in all directions, quickly mixing with the surrounding colors. When his gaze shifted to Chaozi holding that "corpse silkworm" in his hand, he finally realized.

  "Who would have thought that you, who were so clever and used all your energy to calculate the heavens and set up such a large array in pursuit of eternal life, would ultimately let a tiny insect reap the benefits? This is probably what they mean by mans calculations are not as good as heavens. Chaozi, this persons body is probably now inside that silkworms belly."

  Chaozi heard, his hand shook, and the hunting rifle almost fell out of his hands. Although he knew that this insect loved to eat meat, but after eating thousands of years of corpses, the feeling of nausea was unbearable. If it wasnt for Cha Wenbin stopping him, he would have killed it with a knife!

  "Apparently, the Corpse Silkworm King ran all the way here to give birth, just so his son could eat this disgusting thing!" Chaozi pointed at the insect and said viciously: "Your mother really did a great job for you, finding a piece of thousand-year-old rotten meat for you to eat. Isnt she afraid that youll get food poisoning?"

  "Alright, stop joking around. I think the water here was originally colorless, but it turned red because of that bugs blood after its belly was bitten open. Earlier, when I was at the bottom of the coffin, I seemed to have bumped into something, probably burial goods. Now lets bring them up and take a look."

  Chao Zi had a mountaineering claw on his body, which was used as a dredging tool. The two of them searched inside for a while and finally found something:

  This is a bronze disc the size of a washbasin, very similar to the giant disc suspended from an iron chain at the entrance to the tomb chamber, but smaller. The outside is a large circle and the inside is a solid small circle. The two circular shapes are connected by five bronze rods, dividing one circle into five equal parts. It looks like the hubcap of a modern car wheel, but its made very thin. On top, there are some small dots with unequal distances between them, each dot linked to others by lines of varying lengths, ultimately extending to the center of the small circle.

  Cha Wenbin carefully examined those dots and lines, arranging them one by one in his mind on a flat surface, and a pattern gradually emerged - it was a mind map!

  "Slowly, Cha Wenbin spoke up and said: Chaozi, Ive found the third boundary I was looking for."

  Chao Zi was puzzled and asked: "The third boundary?"

  "Look at this bronze disc on the ground," said Cha Wenbin, "If Im not mistaken, this thing should be called the Sun Wheel. See those small dots on the disc? They should represent the planets revolving around the sun, marked according to their distance from the sun and connected by lines. If these dots can move, well find that they all revolve around the central small circle - which is the sun! The ancients considered the sun a symbol of heaven, so they created this thing and placed it in coffins to press down on the deceased, making them truly dead in all three realms, thus achieving transcendence beyond the five elements!"

  Chaozi looked at the ancient bronze round plate on the ground, from his professional perspective, whether it was material or shape, especially in ancient times when there were no precision instruments, it was not difficult to divide a circle evenly into four or eight parts. However, dividing it into five parts was extremely difficult. According to Cha Wenbins analysis, the middle part is a sun, and the five rods should represent the five rays of sunlight. Why did they create such an instrument that looks simple but is actually incredibly complex? Currently, the only explanation may be Cha Wenbins theory of the heavenly realm, taking it as the sun.

  "Your meaning is that this person placed four coffins above the village: the human world; four underground: the earth boundary; and this one in between: the heavenly boundary, a total of three boundaries to declare his own death. In fact, he did not truly die, but instead dispersed the power of his three souls and seven spirits into the ten bronze coffins, waiting for the day when he would truly revive?"

  Zha Wenbin said: "Thats right, thats how it is. This corpse has existed here as a fake dead person for thousands of years."

  "The power of the three realms of heaven, earth and man, combined with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, as well as the power of twenty-seven star constellations and a special elixir, can ensure that the physical body does not decay. Through these grand arrays, one can also separate their three souls and seven spirits without dispersing them, using this life force as the eye of the array. One day, if someone can collect all three souls and seven spirits and reunite them with their original spirit, perhaps they can truly come back to life! This ghostly technique is unprecedented and unmatched, its really opened my eyes today. Fortunately, the Corpse Silkworm King coveted the power contained in this corpse, taking advantage of the receding water level, sent its offspring down here, sharing this feast with us. We didnt we just see that when it went down, its belly was a bit bulging? I reckon it also ate quite a lot, and fearing its son wouldnt have enough to eat, planned to leave us two behind as companions in death. If not for the Return Soul Incense, perhaps today all five of us would be trapped at the bottom of this unknown well."
