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

The archaeological team walked to the relatively well-preserved house. Although they didn't believe there was anything evil inside, they all chose to stay outside.

Only Qin An went in to investigate!

Cross the threshold.

Qin An entered the house.

At this time.

A cold wind blew in my face.

"crunch-"

The two wooden doors behind him closed with a click.

Qin An didn't take it seriously. He shone the military flashlight above his head to examine the layout of the room and found that the things inside were very simple.

Then Qin An lowered his head and looked for the painting on the ground.

Thinking of Yang Lele saying that the painting fell from behind the door... Qin An turned to look at the ground behind him, but he couldn't see the painting there either.

Qin An thought the wind had blown it away!

Just as he was about to open the wooden door and walk out... he suddenly looked up! To his astonishment, he found the painting right above his head! No more than 10 centimeters away from his eyes!

Qin An's pupils suddenly dilated.

Clearly, they hadn't anticipated this sudden shock!

But...didn't Yang Lele say the painting fell on the ground? How come it's still hanging perfectly fine behind the door?

Qin An slowly took a few steps back.

Only then could I see the whole picture!

This is a beautiful young girl lying in a stone coffin, struggling, her upper body naked... except that because her hair is too long, it just happens to cover the two key parts of her chest.

Therefore, only two rough outlines can be seen.

Of course, that's not the main point!

The key point is that this beautiful young woman's face was deathly pale, and a silver needle was inserted into each of her seven orifices! This caused blood to flow from her seven orifices, which was extremely terrifying!

And whether it was the artist's skill that was too exquisite, or whether the painting was imbued with some kind of magic, Qin An had a feeling that the beautiful girl in the painting was pleading with him for help!

After a brief moment of shock.

Qin An's mind began to calm down!

Logically speaking... painting techniques in ancient times were not advanced enough, so it's unreasonable that they could have created such a lifelike painting!

How was this painting created?

I can't figure it out right now.

Qin An simply reached out and took the painting down from behind the door!

He had just rolled the painting up into a scroll and put it away when the wooden bed behind him collapsed with a loud crash!

Qin An suddenly turned around to look.

No other abnormalities were found!

at the same time.

The archaeological team members outside the house also heard the noise... They hurriedly ran forward and pushed open the door.

"Brother Qin An! Are you okay?"

Gu Yang craned his neck to look behind Qin An.

"It's nothing... the bed just collapsed on its own." Qin An strode out of the house and said, "Lele, are you sure this painting fell to the ground before?"

"Yes, yes! I saw it fall on the ground with my own eyes!"

Yang Lele nodded, her eyes filled with determination.

Hear this.

Qin An remained silent.

He called the archaeological team members to form a circle, said "High Alert Ahead," and then unfurled the parchment scroll.

"Shh-"

The sudden appearance of the eerie portrait startled the entire archaeological team!

Shao Wei patted his chest repeatedly and exclaimed, "This...this...this is the painting Yang Lele mentioned before? How eerie!"

Seeing that everyone had seen enough.

Qin An then put away the parchment scroll and said, "What do you feel when you see the woman in this painting? I mean... do you feel that her eyes are pleading for your help?"

As soon as these words came out.

The archaeological team looked at each other.

He then shook his head repeatedly.

"I only saw despair in her eyes... and maybe a little regret too?" Hawkeye said honestly.

Qin An then looked at the rest of the archaeological team.

They nodded repeatedly in agreement with Hawkeye's statement!

Qin An stopped dwelling on the topic.

"Professor Zhang! Look at the woman in this portrait... Who is she? Did she leave her name in ancient history?"

to be frank.

Just looking at this face with blood streaming from all seven orifices, expecting Zhang Yunfeng to recognize who this is is really asking too much.

Qin An also felt that his question seemed a bit hasty.

So he got up, looked around, and prepared to lead his team away from there.

But never thought.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Zhang Yunfeng's eyes sharpened.

"I just noticed that her ears are a bit pointed, like fox ears... And this is Chi You's tomb again! I feel that this woman's identity must be Chi You's wife from ancient legends—the Thousand-Faced Fox!"

A thousand-faced fox demon?

The rest of the archaeological team looked at each other, completely clueless about the origins of this thousand-faced fox demon.

Shao Wei quickly interrupted, saying, "This Thousand-Faced Fox refers to the youngest daughter of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the ruler of Qingqiu Kingdom! She ran away to Chi You's territory because she was playful, and later fell in love and fought with Chi You before finally getting married."

But how could a human fall in love with a fox? This ancient mythology is utterly absurd! Of course! If it's a fox in human form... then never mind.

Hear this.

Yang Lele stared in disbelief and said:

"So, the woman in this painting who looks so miserable is Chi You's wife, the Thousand-Faced Fox Demon? This is in Chi You's tribe! Who would dare treat Chi You's wife like this?"

Wang Yanyan chimed in, "Exactly! They stripped their leader's wife naked and threw her into a stone coffin! They even pierced her seven orifices with silver needles! That's unreasonable, isn't it?"

Never thought.

As soon as these words came out.

Zhang Yunfeng calmly replied, "Unreasonable? What if I said that the people of Chi You's tribe wanted the Thousand-Faced Fox to be buried with Chi You, but the Thousand-Faced Fox herself didn't want to be buried with him?"

The archaeological team was so shocked they were speechless.

Zhang Yunfeng continued, "I've researched the history of ancient emperors having their concubines buried with them... and I finally discovered that the burial culture of the Chiyou tribe was the earliest!"

PS: Lao Yu's words:

Since Lao Yu intends to write a novel similar to "The Haunted House" for his next book, some of the later plot developments in this book will try to take a supernatural turn.

On the one hand, it's a chance to practice writing.

On the other hand, it's about seeing if you have a talent for writing spooky stories!

If any reader doesn't like it...

There was nothing Lao Yu could do...

This book currently earns around 50 yuan per day...

That is, 1500 yuan per month...

I think I'm already doing a great job of updating 4000 words a day.

The above is a statement made with high emotional intelligence.

To put it another way, with low emotional intelligence:

This book won't make any money!

I'm about to let loose!
