Popularize tomb robbing: The state asks whether gold can be divided to determine the burial site
Chapter 21 Underground River
"Oh no! This tunnel is surrounded by mercury!"
Professor Jiang cried out that something was wrong.
mercury!
Everyone changed color when they heard it.
This heavy metal element was used by emperors as a trap to prevent tomb robbers more than two thousand years ago, but no one expected that there was also a mercury mechanism in King Qi's tomb!
"Brother Qin An, what should we do?" Professor Yang said anxiously.
"As far as I know, there are only two options for tomb robbers when they encounter mercury mechanisms in tombs. The first is to exit the tomb with the mercury mechanism and never enter it again." Qin An said lightly.
"This, this, this...this definitely won't work! We must enter the tomb of King Qi." Professor Yang was so anxious that he almost cried, and hurriedly asked Qin An what the second way was.
"Find the mercury and let it evaporate completely. After ten days or half a month, bring a dog to explore the way. If the dog ahead is fine, it means the mercury has completely evaporated."
I heard that I would have to wait for ten days or half a month.
Everyone was a little depressed.
Especially the three middle-aged and elderly archaeology professors.
After all, with their physical condition, they can't tell which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.
Wow...
Wow!
The sound of the liquid flowing was heard again.
Qin An frowned slightly.
"Professor Jiang, maybe what's surrounding the tunnel is not mercury, but an underground river." Qin An said lightly.
"Underground river?" Professor Jiang adjusted his glasses.
It seems that the tomb of King Qi is much larger than he imagined!
"Qin An! My teacher said that the tunnel is surrounded by mercury! What makes you say it is an underground river? My teacher is an academician of archaeology! Do you know more than an academician?" Qi Min looked at Qin An gloomily.
He couldn't understand.
It is obvious that I am the rising star in archaeology!
The youngest master of archaeology!
Academician Jiang’s most proud disciple!
As a result, all the limelight has now been stolen by Qin An!
Not only led the entire archaeological team!
Even his three pretty schoolmates sided with him!
"Why are children interrupting when adults are talking? Idiot! Can't you hear the loud sound of flowing water?" Qin An said lightly.
"you!"
Qi Min opened his mouth and wanted to refute.
But Professor Yang raised his hand and held him down.
"Amin, what Brother Qin An said is right. This time it is indeed your teacher who heard it wrong because he is old. The density of mercury is so high, how could it make such a turbulent flow sound?" Professor Yang hurriedly explained.
"Brother Qin An is right! Mercury certainly doesn't make such a turbulent sound. I misheard."
Professor Jiang also stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Brother Qin An, let's quickly find the source of this underground river! Maybe we can find the way into the main tomb chamber."
"Humph!"
Qi Min snorted unwillingly.
The others were relieved. If it was really as Professor Jiang said, the corridor was full of mercury.
It’s no big deal for the archaeological team to suffer kidney failure by inhaling mercury!
Even worse, you might die in this tomb!
After adjusting your mindset.
Everyone walked forward carefully along the corridor again.
Qin An walked in front as usual.
The light of the flashlight flickered in the darkness, like a ghostly fire dancing from hell, adding a bit of horror to the dark corridor.
The crowd walked forward another hundred meters.
A fork appeared at the end of the corridor.
"Strange... why are there so many forks? There feels like a cool breeze in the corridor on the left. Could this be an underground river?" Zhang Sitian, who was standing on Qin An's left, said.
"Then let's go left? I heard that when you encounter two identical forks in the road, you should take the windy one." Yang Lele agreed.
"In the tomb, any place with wind means it is the exit, right? Why don't we go to the right? After all, we want to go into the tomb of King Qi to find out what's inside." Professor Yang advised.
For a while.
Everyone was a little troubled.
at this time.
Qin An suddenly felt the sound of wings vibrating coming from the corridor on the left, as if something was flying quickly.
"Get down quickly!"
When everyone heard Qin An's warning, they all fell to the ground.
squeak squeak...
Squeak!
Sudden.
A large group of black bats flew out from the corridor on the left and passed over everyone's heads.
It's nine o'clock in the evening!
This is when bats begin their hunting activities.
Qin An guessed that it was the smell of blood in the ghost-faced spider cave that attracted their attention.
Everyone lay on the ground for three minutes.
The group of black bats finally flew away.
Professor Jiang stood up and said with lingering fear, "Brother Qin An...how about we go to the right?"
The group of black bats flew out from the corridor on the left.
If they fly back at daybreak and run into everyone, it will be disastrous, and a big battle will be inevitable.
Hear the words.
Qin An shook his head.
"Let's not go through the left or right corridors, let's go straight ahead."
"Ahead?" Jiang Liuli touched Qin An's forehead familiarly. "Qin An, you don't have a fever, do you? There's a stone wall ahead. Where is the way out?"
"Yeah! Could it be that this stone wall is hollow inside?"
"Pretending to be profound!"
Qin An walked forward and felt around on the stone wall. "The Tiger is the gate of life, and its direction is northeast. Our front is northeast, so we must go forward."
While talking.
Qin An found a protruding blue brick.
After pressing lightly.
The stone wall in front of them made a creaking sound, and then a path that was only wide enough for two people to pass through appeared in front of everyone.
[Devils and demons, get out of here! The swarm of bats that just covered the sky reminded me of the fear of being dominated by the ghost-faced spider...]
[Oh my god! This is awesome!]
[When did this tomb raider know so much? I just flipped through his previous works, and it's clear he knows nothing and just recklessly writes.]
[Indeed! I even suspect he learned it in prison!]
This unexpected path is the true path to salvation! Just like when we do math problems, if the final result is 0 or 1, it's usually a sure thing.
[If you explain it this way, I will understand.]
[A blind cat catches a dead mouse! Lao An must have seen this mechanism before, but is just showing off now.]
[Right! I suspect even those ghost-faced spiders were driven away by the special forces, and had nothing to do with Qin An.]
Inside the tomb.
Look at the road that appears before you.
Everyone was a little surprised!
"Walk in pairs, with the special forces walking in front and behind the archaeological team." Qin An ordered.
Then he turned on the flashlight and walked ahead.
See this.
Jiang Liuli hurriedly caught up and walked side by side with Qin An.
When everyone turned a corner.
The scene before them made them gasp!
I saw a huge deep pit in front of me!
The deep pit is filled with piles of bones!
Just as everyone walked into this huge tomb.
Suddenly, billowing black smoke rose from the deep pit, and countless strange green lights flashed in it, like the vengeful spirits of dead corpses.
