Popularize tomb robbing: The state asks whether gold can be divided to determine the burial site

“Boom boom boom…”

Qin An just grabbed the gold brick and climbed up.

The Western Region flaming oil behind him burned with flames from the air duct all the way to the smoke duct! Even the place where the archaeological team had been standing was burned with flames rising into the sky!

See this.

Gu Yang and Hawkeye quickly moved a stone slab nearby to block the flames.

[Oh my god...Isn't this ruler of the Foyinku Kingdom too sinister? He almost didn't succeed in refining the golden elixir for Lao An!]

[So what if it's shady? It's still a low-quality trap that Qin An can spot at a glance! Just one on the side of the road!]

[You said this trap was on the side of the road? Then let me ask you, are Yang Lele and Zhang Sitian fainted from the smoke? Answer me! If it weren't for Brother Qin An seeing through the trap in time, the archaeological team would have been reduced to ashes!]

[Yeah...Brother Qin An, go check on Zhang Sitian and Yang Lele!]

[Hey! Can you guys in the livestream please take a moment to chat with me? I'm fine and I don't have a birthday. I just want to go to a gym. Can you guys give me some encouragement?]

[These kids! I wish you a blast!]

..........

The so-called life gate is often the weakest point of the mechanism!

Just as the gold bricks used to build the third floor of the Baoling Burial Pagoda are arranged in a honeycomb pattern, once external force penetrates, it will be transmitted to the surrounding areas to share the damage, but the gold bricks in the southeast corner are independent.

Qin An's sword energy can successfully erode the corners of the wall made of gold bricks.

That’s why the southeast corner is called the Gate of Life!

"Where are Yang Lele and Zhang Sitian?" Qin An stood up and asked Gu Yang and Hawkeye.

People around were breathing in the fresh air in big gulps.

Because Qin An had the breath-holding technique, he didn't inhale too much smoke and dust into his nose, but his skin was a little uncomfortable from the burning of the flames.

Hawkeye responded, "Comrade Liuli is giving them water."

Subsequently.

Qin An squeezed through the dense crowd and walked to the innermost part.

In the aisle that was only 3 meters wide, Jiang Liuli was holding Zhang Sitian in her arms and Meng Yu was holding Yang Lele in her arms. They each held a bottle of mineral water and carefully fed them to them.

Gu Wuyan was standing beside them with a vigilant look on his face.

There was a black stain from smoke on her fair face, and the contrast made her look even more adorable.

“A Qin…”

Gu Wuyan's face was full of worry about Qin An.

She thought Qin Anduan was too late to escape from the tomb!

"I'm fine." Qin An said lightly.

Then he looked at Jiang Liuli again: "Are their lives safe?"

Hear this.

Jiang Liuli shook her head.

"I just breathed in too much smoke...my nose was black! I couldn't breathe for a while and then I fainted. I'm not in danger of death."

"That's good."

Qin An breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he have time to look up and take in his surroundings.

On both sides of the archaeological team were two walls made of gold bricks, about forty to fifty meters long and only three meters wide. Therefore, the archaeological team could only line up in a long dragon and sit on the ground to rest.

"Lao Hu! Come here!"

Qin An looked at Hu Jizhou with a military flashlight in his hand.

Hear the words.

Hu Jizhou quickly gave a look to his junior brother Li Mengzhe, then looked at Xu Guozhou and the other two, signaling him to keep an eye on the three old academicians.

See Li Mengzhe nodded.

He then stood up and walked towards Qin An: "Brother Qin An... I'm coming right away!"

The two met.

Qin An asked the others to sit down and rest.

He and Hu Jizhou went ahead to explore the way first, so as to avoid encountering the situation like the third floor of Baoling Burial Tower: everyone rushed in and almost got barbecued.

After instructing Gu Yang and Eagle Eye to keep an eye on Xu Guozhou and the other two, and Gu Wuyan and Jiang Liuli to keep an eye on Zhang Sitian and Yang Lele.

Qin An then took Hu Jizhou to the front of the corridor.

This corridor is not long.

Only fifty meters.

But at the end of the corridor there is a stone horse carved from white marble. The stone horse is pure white all over, with eyes wide open and its right hind hoof constantly digging the ground, as if it is about to run in the next second.

See this.

Hu Jizhou said worriedly, "Brother Qin An... could this stone horse be a trap? This corridor is so narrow! If this stone horse charges forward, there will be nowhere for so many of us to hide!"

Hear the words.

Qin An nodded.

What Hu Jizhou said is entirely possible!

He glanced at the place next to the stone horse. Next to this corridor was another corridor, and the two corridors were separated by only a wall.

Qin An gently placed his right hand on the stone horse's belly.

Then he suddenly pushed to the left!

"Oh!"

The stone horse's four legs were first pulled out by the roots and then its body was suddenly pushed to the ground.

"Let's go!"

After doing all this.

Qin An clapped his hands and walked into the second corridor.

Hu Jizhou was dumbfounded. So, the tomb owner's trap was broken? "Brother Qin An, you're a true numerical freak!"

The second corridor is no different from the first corridor.

The only difference is that the second corridor is slightly shorter.

Only about 30 meters.

This corridor is in the shape of "?8?5". There is another corridor in front of it, and a new corridor extends to the right. However, in the middle of these two corridors, there is a rat carved out of black stone.

This mouse is only the size of a basketball!

If the tail is included, the length is estimated to be nearly 1 meter!

It just crawled on the ground, as if avoiding some natural enemy.

"Rat?" Hu Jizhou frowned as he looked at the stone statue that suddenly appeared on the ground.

First the stone horse and then the stone rat?

What on earth is going on on the fourth floor of the Baoling Burial Tower?

Hu Jizhou raised his head and glanced at Qin An.

Unexpectedly, Qin An shook his head and said, "Maybe they are stone statues of the twelve zodiac animals? But I don't know what their purpose is."

I see that even Brother Qin An doesn’t understand.

Hu Jizhou simply stopped thinking about it.

"Brother Qin An... there are two ways here! Should we act separately or go together?" Hu Jizhou couldn't make up his mind.

"Let's go together! Let's take the main road ahead."

Qin An said lightly.

He always felt that the fourth floor of the Baoling Burial Tower was a huge maze, and there was a stone statue at the intersection of each corridor, but Qin An was not sure whether it was related to the twelve zodiac animals.

Because until now.

They had only seen two stone statues.

After crossing the "Stone Rat", Qin An and Hu Jizhou continued walking towards the corridor ahead.

Until you reach the end of this corridor.

There are two forks in the road again, forming a "V" shape.

And here actually appeared a stone dog statue, which was carved from the same material as the stone rat, both black stone.

And the stone dog in front of us has a few more details!

Its sticking out tongue was red with cinnabar dots, and from a distance it really looked like a black dog.

"Stone dog?" Hu Jizhou looked suspicious.

Could it be that the fourth floor of the Baoling Burial Tower is filled with stone statues of the twelve zodiac animals?

"Horse, rat, dog..." Qin An muttered to himself.

According to the order of the twelve zodiac animals of Daxia, they must be rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig. However, the order of the fourth floor of the Baoling Burial Tower starts with horse, rat and dog.

Is it because of different customs or because they were walking in the wrong direction and therefore saw the stone statues in a different order?

Qin An still can't figure out this question.

"Let's keep moving forward! We have encountered too few stone statues now and can't see any clues." Qin An said lightly.

"it is good!"

Hu Jizhou jumped over the stone dog and walked forward with a flashlight.

Qin An followed closely behind.

The further they go!

The farther the light from a military flashlight goes!

The farther the light goes... the darker the tunnel becomes!

The corridor is dark!

The stone rat and the stone dog opened their eyes.

One of them slid forward and the other slid backward, and before they knew it, they had exchanged positions.
