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

After Qin An finished breakfast, the archaeological team rested with him for a while. But just as they were about to get up and leave, they suddenly heard a crisp sound behind them.

"Clap clap clap..."

The sound didn't sound like flesh and blood hitting a stone door; it sounded more like something extremely brittle striking the stone door.

heard this movement.

Hawkeye laughed. "Those skeletons outside don't think they can smash this heavy stone door open with their skulls, do they?"

Hearing this joke...

The other members of the archaeological team, whose expressions had been strange, relaxed and carefree. Yes, it seemed that the skeletons were trying to hunt them down, but they couldn't open the Nine Stars Sun Mechanism Gate that was blocking them.

He had no choice but to ram his own skull into it!

However, their bones, after years of oxidation, have become as hard as paper. How could they possibly use their skulls to break open the stone door?

Even if you smash your bones to ashes, it's not an option!

Although Qin An could deal with those skeletons by simply unleashing two sword strikes, he didn't want to waste his energy on these little karami.

So, as they walked, they said, "Never mind them, let's go inside first."

Realizing that although there were many skeletons, they could never open the stone door, the archaeological team members leisurely followed Qin An forward.

This relatively spacious passageway doesn't have many twists and turns.

The archaeological team reached the end of the passageway after just two turns.

"Splash—splash—"

We haven't completely left the passageway yet!

Then everyone heard the sound of flowing water.

For a while.

The expressions on everyone's faces became somewhat strange!

"No way? There's water? How many times have we encountered water on this trip to Chiyou's tomb? Is there really that much water in Chiyou's tomb?" Yang Lele couldn't help but complain.

Jiang Liuli wanted to comfort her, saying that the water ahead might be another hot spring, but instead of feeling warmth, she felt a chilling aura.

She swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

"Something's wrong."

Qin An frowned as he listened to the sound of water deep ahead.

Hawkeye said, "Something's not right."

Qin An said calmly, "This sound doesn't sound like flowing water. It sounds more like the sound of fish slapping each other's tails when there are so many fish in the water."

"Fish?!"

I heard the words "fish tail".

Gu Wuyan, who had been completely indifferent, suddenly became pleasantly surprised!

If there are fish ahead, Qin An is sure he can catch two with his skills. Then they can find something to grill the fish and eat it!

I've been eating dry rations for so many days in a row.

Gu Wuyan felt like his mouth was starting to taste like birds!

She really wanted to eat meat.

Seeing Gu Wuyan's delighted expression, Qin An really didn't want to dampen her spirits, so he had no choice but to dampen her expectations first.

"The feng shui in front is too cold and gloomy... I'm afraid even if there were fish, we wouldn't be able to eat them! Besides, I might have misheard!"

Qin An patted Gu Wuyan's little head, hoping she wouldn't have too high hopes.

Gu Wuyan was a little disappointed.

But I still hope there really are fish ahead that she can eat!

After the little episode.

The group continued walking inside.

But the further you go in, the stronger the chilling aura emanating from ahead becomes!

"Splash—splash—"

When the archaeological team finally emerged from the passageway, they were greeted by a fishpond the size of a standard football field.

Why is it called a fishpond instead of a lake?

It's because... there are just too many fish here!

A dense swarm of fish rushed to the feet of the archaeological team. The scene was so spectacular that it was as if some people had seen the sun. The fish jostled and pushed against each other, splashing and thrashing about at the feet of the archaeologists as if they had gone mad.

"What...what kind of fish are these? Why have I never seen them before?" Hu Jizhou looked at the fish in the pond with a suspicious expression.

These fish were all about the size of two adult palms, and their shape was somewhat similar to that of a snakehead fish, but their heads were pointed, and there were four sharp teeth lined up on their upper and lower jaws!

Their eyes were bright red.

Seeing the archaeological team was like seeing food!

"Could this be a piranha?"

Xie Wenjing took two steps back in fear. If these fish could jump out of the water and bite her, that would be terrible!

"Look ahead!"

At this time.

Meng Yu's exclamation rang out from beside her!

The archaeological team then shifted their gaze from the piranhas to the upper part of the pond in front of them.

The scene here is even stranger!

On the rock wall above, there were several things that looked like fixed pulleys. Each pulley had a rope as thick as an arm attached to one end, and each rope had a round object attached to the other end. These objects were three to five meters above the pond.

"What are those?" Zhang Yunfeng adjusted his glasses and looked at the round objects hanging in mid-air with a puzzled expression.

At this time.

Qin An looked at the things hanging above the pond, then at the fish in the pond, and suddenly it dawned on him as if he understood something.

After thinking about it.

Qin An said in a deep voice, "Everyone, step back a little!"

Hear this.

The members of the archaeological team dared not disobey!

He quickly took several steps back.

At this time.

Qin An then spoke, "These fish are the legendary water burial fish!"

"Fish buried in water?"

"It means that after a person dies, the body is thrown directly into the river, and the fish in the river eat the body clean. These fish that specifically eat human corpses are called water burial fish."

Shao Wei swallowed hard and asked, "And then?"

"See that fixed pulley over there?"

Everyone nodded.

Qin An continued, "A rope that won't break is placed on a fixed pulley. The two ends of the rope are tied to the necks of a fat man and a thin man, respectively. To prevent it from being loose, the rope is often wrapped around the necks several times."

Because the fat person weighs more than the thin person, the fat person's lower body will sink into the pond first, and the aquatic fish will then go and eat the fat person's lower body.

But by the time the water burial fish had eaten almost all the fat man's lower body flesh, the fat man's weight was less than the thin man's weight!

Therefore, the fat man will be slowly pulled up with a rope, while the thin man will be slowly lowered into the pond. Once the thin man's lower body has been eaten by the aquatic fish, the fat man will be put back into the pond.

This process will continue until only the heads of the two individuals remain. At that point, the weight on both sides of the rope will be roughly equal, and the two heads will no longer sink into the pond, but will remain suspended in mid-air as they are now.
