"Brother Qin An...what's going on?"

Before Hu Jizhou could congratulate himself for escaping the attack of the concentrated sulfuric acid arrow, he suddenly felt the stone monkey he was holding suddenly tremble!

"Kekeke..."

It sounds like the sound of an old millstone grinding rice!

See this.

Qin An was also a little confused.

Although he knew that the key to cracking the fourth-floor mechanism of the Baoling Burial Tower lay in the Stone Monkey, he still couldn't figure out what would happen if he restored the Stone Monkey mechanism.

"Don't move...let me think about it."

Qin An closed his eyes as he spoke.

Then a simple structural diagram of the Baoling Burial Tower emerged in his mind.

The cylindrical tower is divided into eight sides!

Looking down from the top... the entire Baoling Burial Pagoda is an octagon! Its eight sides correspond to the eight trigrams! And the five floors of the Baoling Burial Pagoda represent the five elements!

These are the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams!

The first layer is the base of the tower and its zodiac sign is earth!

The second layer is made of golden nanmu coffin, which is the zodiac sign of wood!

The third layer is an eight-trigram alchemy furnace, the zodiac sign is fire!

The fourth level is Monkey, which belongs to the metal element, so its zodiac sign is metal!

Metal, fire, wood, earth... So it seems the fifth floor of the Baoling Burial Pagoda is associated with water! And metal produces water! The monkey is metal... So what produces metal?

Earth produces gold!

Think of this.

Qin An suddenly opened his eyes!

He got it!

It turns out that the group of Fa Qiu Zhonglang Jiang took away the limbs of the corpse in the first coffin of Baoling Burial Pagoda not only for worship, but also for offering to the Stone Monkey!

Hands and feet are limbs!

The limbs belong to the spleen!

The spleen belongs to the earth!

Earth produces metal! Metal produces water!

No wonder he couldn't find the path to the fifth floor no matter how hard he tried... It turned out there was no soil for the monkey to produce gold! How could it see water without producing gold?

That's it!

For a while.

Qin An became more and more interested in that group of Fa Qiu Zhonglang Jiang!

He had gone to such great lengths to figure out the intricacies of the situation... I wonder how that group of tomb robbers, the "Fa Qiu Zhong Lang Jiang" (General of the Fa Qiu), managed to do it? They were even more powerful than him, the leader of the Northern School!

If the spirits of those Fa Qiu Zhong Lang Jiang in heaven could hear Qin An thinking like this...

I guess he will come back to life!

They are scratching their heads!

It took several hours of sitting still to come up with the solution to the problem...but Qin An just hugged the stone monkey's body, closed his eyes, and thought for a while before he solved it!

Can this be the same?

Open your eyes!

Qin An said calmly, "Old Hu! Let go of the stone monkey! We're still missing something!"

Hu Jizhou was a little puzzled and asked, "What else can we lack?"

"Hands! Both hands are best! The base of this stone monkey can be lifted up and two hands can be stuffed in! Only when the hands are stuffed in... will the road to the fifth floor appear!" Qin An said lightly.

Hear the words.

Everyone was a little surprised!

Come again?

The stone gate needs to be worshipped...and the stone monkey needs to be worshipped as well, right?

Besides, where can they find two hands?

You can't just cut off your hand and stuff it in, right?

At this time, Gu Wuyan stepped forward and said, "Ah Qin... I remember there seems to be a well-preserved ancient corpse in the golden nanmu coffin on the second floor of the Baoling Burial Pagoda! Can I use that?"

Hear this.

The eyes of the archaeological team suddenly lit up!

Yup!

How could they have forgotten this?

That well-preserved corpse seems to be the son of the ruler of the Buddha's Bitter Kingdom? Perhaps it was the King of Anzhou?

Use your son’s hands to worship the stone monkey!

Open the way to the tomb of the king of the Buddha's Kingdom!

This is such a perfect match!

But the King of Foyinku Kingdom probably never thought until his death...that the mechanism originally used to prevent tomb robbers would actually become the culprit for his son losing his hands?

“It’s more than enough!”

Qin An nodded.

Hearing this, the others seemed even more excited!

I would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die... Besides, that ancient corpse was not on the same path as them!

Gu Yang and Hawkeye even took the initiative to suggest, "Brother Qin An...just take a good rest this time! Let's go remove the ancient corpse's hands!"

Although this may be suspected of destroying the ancient corpse!

But no one thought about this issue in this situation!

Fortunately, Xu Guozhou spoke up in time to make amends for everyone:

"Brother Qin An! From what I can see, that ancient corpse is showing clear signs of resurrection! We'd better chop off its head to prevent future trouble!"

Hear this.

Even Qin An couldn't help but look up to this old guy!

The ancient corpse did not rise from the dead!

If the archaeological team rashly cut off its hands... I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives would report it widely: "The archaeological team chopped off the arms of an ancient corpse with a knife! Damaging a corpse is a criminal offense! Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature?"

But now Xu Guozhou said this!

Even if outsiders want to stir up trouble, it’s useless!

after all!

Even the academician of archaeology said personally that the ancient corpse showed signs of resurrection!

No matter how much you understand, can you understand as well as an academician?

however.

Qin An rejected Hawkeye and Gu Yang's proposal.

He said calmly, "Old Xu is right! The ancient corpse in the golden nanmu coffin on the second floor is indeed showing signs of resurrection! But the Bagua alchemy furnace on the third floor may not have cooled down yet... I'm the only one who's best suited to go there!"

While talking.

Qin An also glanced at Gu Wuyan.

Indicates that even she can't go with him this time!

Although three hours have passed since the archaeological team left the third floor of the Baoling Burial Tower, given the baking temperature of the underground fire... the tomb chamber should still be hot.

If you want to reach the second floor!

You can only return the same way!

As for whether the entrance to the third floor is still blocked by cylindrical stone pillars, it should not be taken into consideration. After all, what good person would not open the furnace door after refining the elixir?

"this......."

Seeing that Brother Qin An rejected his proposal.

Gu Yang and Hawkeye were also a little disappointed.

They are all top special forces soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles...but in front of Brother Qin An, they are like weak women who are being protected.

"Rest here! Don't touch that stone monkey! Don't even take your eyes off it! Be alert and watch out for other zodiac stone statues that might come back!"

Before leaving.

Qin An repeatedly reminded everyone in the archaeological team.

[Wow...Brother Qin An is really gentle!]

[Yes! Although I am a man too! But I really want to marry him! (IP Location: Chengdu)]

【IP features that are popular among the people! 】

[Damn... This Tomb of the Buddha's Bitter Kingdom feels so dark! Why do I have to offer sacrifices at every level? The previous Tomb of King Qi and the Yinxu Ancient City weren't this dark!]

[Could it be that tomb robbing becomes increasingly difficult as time goes on?]

[I feel the same way...but Brother Qin An is too strong! We can't let him steal bags from those small tombs, right? That would be too much of a bully for the ancient corpses sleeping inside!]

[Huh? Did you notice that the three-member academician group seems to have become a two-member group? I only saw Xu Guozhou and Lin Yipeng! Where's Zhang Weizhi? Is he hiding and preparing to attack Qin An and the others?]

[Yes! Where did Zhang Weizhi go?]
