"Let's check inside." After speaking, Chen Younian walked straight into the cave. The cave was spacious, but inside there was only one stone coffin. The group gathered around the coffin, scrutinizing it keenly. Soon, Ling Chen, with sharp eyes, noticed that there were several lines of small characters engraved on the side of the coffin. Although the script was unrecognizable, they could identify the numbers engraved above.
The numbers were an ancient numeral system known as counting rod numerals, very simple. Behind the few lines of small characters, three of these symbols were engraved, presumed to be three, seven, and four. After these three numeral symbols, there was an additional small character.
"Brother, you're more knowledgeable. Do you think this character is 'year'?" Ling Chen asked.
Ling Gengqiu leaned closer, looked intently, and nodded, "Judging by the shape, it does resemble the ancient 'year' character."
"So, does it mean three hundred seventy-four years?"
