"Professor, isn't that a dog's head?”
Sha Lipeng was a little heartless. He opened his mouth and spat at the statue.
"Xiao Sha, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Hao Jianguo glared at him and walked into the hall while talking to himself excitedly.
"Legend has it that in the ancient Mountain and Sea Era, there was a type of evil beast called the Pi. It lived underground and had no eyes or tails. It fed on snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It was poisonous and was the ancestor of all dogs.”
"The Zhongshan Kingdom was established by the Ancient Di Race. They worshipped the dog god and even used its head as a totem.”
"In this country, almost every family raises hounds. The status of dogs is above slaves and civilians. If they are of pure blood or have abnormal signs, they will even be regarded as messengers sent by the dog god and receive the worship and worship of the whole country.”
Hearing his words, Zhao Junjun couldn't help but ask,"How? Are you going to kneel down to a dog?"
"Of course!"
" Not only do they have to kneel," Hao Jianguo emphasized again." Sometimes, livestock and living people will be sacrificed to make them produce divine power to achieve certain goals of the ruling class.”
At this point, everyone had already entered the hall and scattered to investigate every corner.
Zhao Canjun ordered his soldiers to hang a miner's lamp on each of the four walls, illuminating the entire hall.
Chu Jian held his spear and kicked the charred beast corpse at the entrance. Seeing that it was completely dead, he looked around. Feeling that there was no danger, he slightly relaxed his vigilance and observed the situation in the hall.
In addition to the cauldron, incense table, statue, and treasure platform, there were two stone statues of giant dogs in the south. They had their backs to the hall and there was a large space in front of them. They must be the main entrance of the underground palace.
There were also many stone doors in the hall. On the stone walls on both sides of each door, there were two ancient bronze lamps. Under the lamps, there were black stone dogs guarding the door.
Chu Jian counted carefully. There were a total of five stone doors.
There were two platforms behind the coffin, one on each of the walls, and one on the right side of the main entrance, next to the stone dog guarding the door.
This should lead to five different tombs.
He told this speculation to Professor Chen. The professor looked away from the cauldron and muttered,""According to the typical tomb of the Warring States Period, there should be a main hall, a front hall, left and right side halls, and one or two back halls behind.。”
Professor Chen looked at the stone door in confusion.
He was old, so he could see more clearly from afar than up close. With just a glance, he noticed the abnormality and hurriedly said,"Little Chu, quickly go and take a look. Is that stone door cracked too?”
Chu Jian looked in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, there was a crack on the stone door!
"Professor, your eyesight is really good. I admire you.”
Chu Jian joked and ran over. He saw a gap as wide as an arm at the bottom left of the door.
As soon as he got close, he felt the cold air pressing down on him. There was a faint whine coming from inside, and there was a familiar sinister smell.
Chu Jian's entire body trembled. For some reason, he actually thought of the tomb filled with coffins in the Ghost Fortress!
"F * ck, this is a tomb of the Warring States Period. Any dumpling that has been here for more than two thousand years is a collector's edition. Even if I have five or six moves, I probably can't beat it.”
He subconsciously took a few steps back and turned around to tell Professor Chen that it was just a small crack and that there was nothing unusual. Then, he changed the topic.
He even took the initiative to apply to bring everyone to explore the tombs behind the other stone doors.
He was prepared to send everyone away first, then return to open the coffin and examine the corpse. After the God's Chosen One's strength increased and the others were safe, he would open that ominous door.
Other than the Ming Emperor Mausoleum, this was Ye Yixin's first time entering an ancient tomb. Seeing that everyone was looking for a mechanism to open the door, she couldn't help but ask curiously,"Teacher, did the ancient tombs during the Warring States Period like to use doors to separate the tomb chambers?”
"That's not the case. During the Warring States Period, the tombs of the powerful dukes were much larger than this, but there was no such thing as a stone door being sealed. In my opinion, it's most likely an anti-theft measure.”
Other than the fact that the culture of the Western Regions was not as thorough as Professor Chen's, Hao Jianguo's understanding of the history of other dynasties was not bad. His explanation was clear and logical.
The first mechanism he found was the side hall facing the entrance. There was a black dog squatting on the left side of the door, and one of its eyes could move.
"Crunch…"
He didn't know what kind of divine mechanism it was, but it hadn't broken even after two thousand years.
The stone door rose. Zhao Junjun was about to go in and scout the way when Chu Jian grabbed him and reminded him,""This door is not cracked, and the air inside is not circulating. Let's go in later.”
Zhao Junjun nodded, and the two of them went to look for other stone doors and opened them one by one. After they took a breath, they went to explore.
However, Chu Jian didn't notice that Hao Jianguo and Sha Lipeng had unknowingly run to the stone door on the right side of the main door. After fumbling around for a while, they actually triggered a mechanism and opened the door!
A creaking sound rang out, and Chu Jian was suddenly startled. When he turned around to look, the stone door had already risen to half a person's height!
