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

Qin An and Shao Wei remained outside without saying a word.

The remaining members of the archaeological team went into the tunnel together. The tunnel was not deep, only about three to five meters long. The key was the enclosed space behind the tunnel.

"This should be considered a tomb, right?"

Meng Yu stood behind Hu Jizhou, craning her neck to look into the hole Qin An had dug. She was about to ask Hu Jizhou if he had seen the corpse Qin An had mentioned.

Yang Lele leaned her head closer.

"Sister Mengyu! She's over there!"

Yang Lele truly lives up to her reputation as someone with sharp eyesight.

Meng Yu looked in the direction she was pointing and indeed saw a corpse sitting cross-legged in meditation.

The situation was exactly the same as what Qin An had seen before!

The upper body of the corpse was very detailed... The body was dressed in an extremely loose robe with some patterns of the Eight Trigrams of Fuxi. The long black hair was also tied into a bun and secured with a jade hairpin.

He looks exactly like a Taoist immortal.

[Holy crap? This can't be right... Taoism existed in ancient times? Could this be some time traveler playing a game?]

[666 You'd rather believe someone could travel back in time than believe Taoism existed back then?]

[What are you talking about! It's just a piece of clothing! How does that mean someone is a Taoist? Besides... the Fuxi Eight Trigrams are a product of ancient times. Is it so strange to have such a pattern on clothing?]

May the great goddess Pangu and the goddess Nuwa bless this Taoist priest! Or perhaps he has attained immortality! I desperately want to become an immortal!

[If this thing becomes an immortal, do you want the archaeological team to die? You want to cultivate immortality? You've been reading too many fantasy novels. Stay up all night tonight and you'll be cultivating immortality.]

Viewers in the live stream had different points of interest.

Some thought it was fake, some hoped it was real, and some even wanted to buy the corpse, harboring the desire to eat the flesh of an "immortal".

..................

In front of the tomb chamber.

Hu Jizhou said somewhat awkwardly, "Why don't you just stay in? Old Gu, Eagle Eye, and I can go in and carry that person's body out!"

Hu Jizhou didn't want his junior sister and the other girls in the team to go in. If the corpse suddenly rose up and injured them, that would be bad!

Unexpectedly, Jiang Liuli and the others refused very decisively.

"No way! Brother Qin An said we could come together."

Yang Lele said somewhat unconvinced.

Don't let her current appearance fool you!

But if it really came down to a one-on-one fight, Gu Yang and Hawkeye combined might not be able to beat her, of course, assuming they don't use guns.

As the saying goes, "He who possesses a sharp weapon will naturally harbor murderous intent."

Yang Lele also wanted to show off her skills in front of everyone so as to get rid of the label of being a burden.

Hu Jizhou turned his gaze to Jiang Liuli and Gu Wuyan.

The two women nodded slightly.

Hu Jizhou could only sigh and say, "Alright then... let's all go in!"

Done.

He then summoned Gu Yang and Eagle Eye.

The three of them worked together to kick over the basalt blocks in front of them. Although each of these blocks was the size of a desk, the gaps between them were not sealed with mortar.

Therefore, Hu Jizhou and his two companions easily kicked the basalt rock.

A hole about half a person's height appeared before them!

Hu Jizhou took the lead, crouching down and walking into the half-person-high opening. The others followed suit and crawled in. Once inside the tomb chamber...

The archaeological team members then straightened up.

This tomb chamber is not very large!

At most, it's about the size of a classroom.

The archaeological team slowly walked towards the corpse... The beam of the flashlights completely enveloped the corpse, and everyone held their breath, fearing that the corpse would suddenly turn around and pounce on them.

They only relaxed a little after they walked half a meter behind the corpse and saw that it didn't move at all.

The group then tacitly turned 180 degrees to the left.

I want to see the true face of this body!

To everyone's surprise, the corpse had already become a dried-up mummy! Its entire body was blackened... as if it had been roasted over a large fire!

His face was all wrinkled.

Her limbs were so slender they were almost as thin as a newborn baby's!

"What...what is this thing? If it's a corpse, could it have gotten past me?" Zhang Yunfeng exclaimed, dumbfounded.

Upon hearing this.

The archaeological team members couldn't stop smiling!

It's surprising that Academician Zhang Yunfeng, who usually looks quite serious, can be so humorous and witty when he speaks.

Hawkeye was about to say that you two are equally bad.

However, considering that it was being broadcast live, and that we should at least save Academician Zhang Yunfeng some face, I didn't say anything.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished laughing.

Zhang Yunfeng slowly spoke, "Since this thing can't rise from the dead, and even if it did, it wouldn't pose a threat to us, let's carry it out as Brother Qin An suggested! This is a good thing! We'll definitely be able to use it when we study ancient history."

This body could have been found in Chi You's tomb.

Those people were from the era of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor!

We can move it to the research institute and study it thoroughly; who knows, we might actually discover something useful.

Considering that this is something I will use for my own research in the future.

Zhang Yunfeng didn't just sit back and do nothing. Instead, he put on sterile gloves and stepped forward to lift one of the corpse's legs. Gu Yang and Eagle Eye quickly followed to help.

The remaining people were responsible for clearing the way and avoiding other dangers.

The group then carried the body out of the tunnel in a grand procession!

"Puff-"

After carrying out the body dressed in a Taoist robe.

The group gently placed it on the ground.

"Brother Qin An! Mission accomplished!" Hawkeye said to Qin An with a grin.

Qin An nodded.

They then went forward to examine the corpse closely. The reason they were asked to bring it out was partly to test their courage, and partly because Qin An possessed the ability to trace the source of light, allowing him to touch the corpse and examine its past.

Qin An naturally noticed the loose Taoist robe worn by the corpse.

With a solemn expression, he gently placed his hand on the corpse's shoulder.

He then silently activated the technique in his mind—Tracing the Light to its Source.

After a while.

Qin An's mind floated gently, as if he were on a cloud. Pure white clouds drifted by in front of him, but when the clouds dispersed, the scene before him became gloomy and terrifying.

"The gathering of three flowers at the top is an illusion, and soaring on clouds beneath one's feet is not real. To become an immortal, one must forget oneself; if my heart does not die, the Dao will not be born."

on the screen.

A man dressed in a Taoist robe was chopping meat with a knife and axe. Every time he chopped off a piece of raw meat, he would pick it up and put it into his mouth.

He ate while reciting the poem above.

Qin An felt very puzzled.

So he turned his head to look at the man's side, wanting to see what kind of meat this fellow was eating, but when he turned his head to look... he discovered that what had fallen to the ground was a dragon's head?!
