Fatty and Old Hu walked to Xiang Qian's side and squatted down. They looked at the ring-shaped object on the ground and said,"Just this?"
"Cut the crap. Hurry up and clean it up. See if it's the entrance to the ancient tomb.”
The three of them cleaned up and a lid with three iron rings appeared in front of them.
The three of them looked at each other. One of them grabbed an iron ring with his hand and lifted it with force. He lifted the lid and placed it beside him. Under the lid was indeed a tomb.
"Fatty, Old Hu and I will go down and take a look. You keep an eye on the archaeological team. It will be bad if they find out.”
The members of the archeological team who were resting outside, as well as Old Master Andrew, were very disgusted with tomb robbing.
Xiang Qian and Old Hu jumped down from the tomb and found that the tomb was not very big, only about 80 square meters. There was a coffin in the middle of the tomb, and the surrounding stone walls were filled with murals.
"Bang!"
There was a sound at the entrance of the tomb. Xiang Qian and Old Hu turned around and shone their flashlights. Fatty came down and fell.
"Why did you come down? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the archeological team?”Old Hu went over to help Fatty up.
"Aiya, it's fine. The archaeological team is sleeping in the middle of the night. They won't find out. Now that the two of you have come down, I'm worried about myself, so I came down to help the two of you.”
" Forget it. I think you are..." Xiang Qian heard Fatty's words and was about to say Fatty when Professor Chen's voice came from above.
"Little Xiang? Little Hu? Little Wang? Are you guys down there?"
When the three of them heard that, they were done for. They had been discovered. Xiang Qian and Old Hu glared fiercely at the fatty. The fatty pursed his lips aggrievedly and did not make a sound.
"Professor Chen, it's us. We found a tomb here, so we came down to take a look. We were just about to let Fatty go up to look for you, but who knew that he would be so stupid?”Xiang Qian said to Professor Chen.
Professor Chen did not say anything after hearing Xiang Qian's words. Instead, he asked Chu Jian to bring a rope and bring everyone down the tomb.
After they went down the tomb, Professor Chen and the other members of the archaeological team were attracted by the murals on the stone walls.
"Look! The murals were about Jingjue Country. According to the mural, the coffin contained a king of a vassal state of Jingjue Kingdom. The Abyssal Race of Jingjue Country ruled the surrounding thirty-six countries and adopted a high-handed rule, causing the citizens of the thirty-six countries to live in endless pain. The king thought of a way to poison the queen's food during the tribute, but it was later discovered by the queen. The queen opened the demon eye on her forehead and cursed the king. Although Queen Jingjue died from the poison in the end and he escaped back to his own country, he died not long after he escaped because of Queen Jingjue's curse.”
After Professor Chen finished looking at the murals, he began to instruct the students to take photos and take notes.
The fatty behind them tugged at Old Hu and Xiang Qian's arms." What should we do? Aren't we working for nothing?"
Old Hu shook off Fatty's hand." You still have the cheek to say that? Didn't I tell you to watch from above?! We don't even know if they've discovered that we're tomb raiders. If they do, we won't even get the 45,000 yuan reward. We might even have to go to jail!”
"Then what should we do?" Fatty was dumbfounded.
"Alright, stop talking. Let's take it one step at a time. Even if Professor Chen and the others suspect that we're grave robbers, they have no evidence. They didn't catch us grave robbers.”
After Xiang Qian finished speaking to Old Hu and Fatty, he walked behind Professor Chen and listened to him talk about archaeological knowledge.
Everyone stayed in the tomb for a night. It was not until dawn that Professor Chen and the others finished recording everything they wanted to record.
After returning to the surface, Professor Chen asked Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng to remember the location of the ancient tomb. He planned to report it to the country when they returned and ask the country to send people to excavate and protect it.
Because they had not slept the entire night, everyone slept in the morning.
In the afternoon, everyone started moving forward again after eating.
At night, everyone found a place to rest. The archeological team, Fatty, and An Liman had all gone to bed, leaving only Xiang Qian, Old Hu, and Yang Xueli sitting by the bonfire.
Old Hu saw Yang Xueli staring blankly at her laptop, so he walked over and sat beside her.""What's wrong, Miss Yang? Why aren't you sleeping? We still have to travel tomorrow."
"I can't sleep." Yang Xueli replied.
"By the way, Miss Yang, I've always wanted to ask you, why do you have to find the Ancient City of Jingjue? No one has seen it for so many years. Perhaps the Ancient City of Jingjue has already disappeared in the long river of history. Your father and the archeological team might not have died in the Ancient City of Jingjue. After all, you have seen it yourself. There are dangers everywhere in the desert, and it is too difficult to find the bodies of the victims in the desert.”
"Mr. Hu, what you said is very reasonable. However, I always believed that my father and the others had found the Ancient City of Jingjue. Ever since he disappeared in the desert, I dreamed of a big black hole more than once. At the entrance of the hole was a big coffin. The coffin was engraved with Abyssal Language and wrapped with many big iron chains. There was also a huge thing lying on the coffin, but I couldn't see what it was. Every time, I tried my best to see what was on the coffin. I woke up from my dream. For the past half a year, I had dreamt of the same scene almost every night. I believed that this was a dream that my father had entrusted to me. That coffin must belong to the Queen.”
"Alright, but what exactly is going on with the Jingjue Ancient Country you mentioned?”Old Hu noticed that Yang Xueli was getting a little emotional when she mentioned her father, so he changed the topic and asked about Jingjue Ancient Country.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hu. I'm sleepy. I'll go rest first.”Yang Xueli obviously did not want to discuss this topic with Old Hu anymore.
Old Hu returned to Xiang Qian's side and rubbed his nose without saying anything.
"What's wrong? Have you taken a fancy to her?" Xiang Qian bumped Old Hu with his shoulder.
"No, don't talk nonsense. I'm just curious.”Old Hu blushed.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Still not admitting it? If you like her, then go after her. What's the big deal? What are you guys afraid of?”Xiang Qian continued to bewitch Old Hu.
"Forget it. She's the daughter of a foreign tycoon. She's very rich. I'm just a grave robber now. If she finds out, I'm afraid she won't even be willing to be my friend, right?”Old Hu looked a little down.
"What was I thinking? Let me tell you, this Yang Xueli isn't as simple as she looks. When we were in the underground river of Kunlun Ruins, I saw a golden talisman hanging around her neck.”Xiang Qian whispered to Old Hu.
"Really?" Old Hu was very surprised.
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Let me think about it." Old Hu was still hesitant.
"Forget it, think about it yourself. I'm going to cultivate.”After Xiang Qian finished speaking, he stood up and patted Old Hu's shoulder before walking to the side to meditate and cultivate.
