Chapter 571 Close the door and beat the dog
"Tsk tsk tsk... Did these two old academicians offend you? They're so ruthless!" Seeing Wang Ping, who was lying unconscious on the ground, still had his hands on Shao Wei's neck!
Qin An couldn't help but click his tongue.
After carrying the veteran team members Jiang Liuli, Gu Wuyan, Zhang Sitian, and Yang Lele into their sleeping bags one by one, Qin An turned his attention to the newer team members Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan.
Fortunately, these people were just fighting on instinct!
Otherwise, if Gu Wuyan and Jiang Liuli had taken out poisonous Gu worms and fishbone knives respectively, they might have turned this place into a living hell.
I picked Xie Wenjing up in my arms and put her back into her sleeping bag.
Qin An glanced over and discovered... Xie Wenjing's two large, bouncy breasts were actually swaying back and forth!
After realizing that it was somewhat impolite.
Qin An quickly averted his gaze!
It's just unexpected that Xie Wenjing, with her slender figure, could bear such fruit.
After setting aside these distracting thoughts.
Qin An found that only Shao Wei, Zhang Yunfeng, and Wang Ping were lying on the ground. After moving the two elderly academicians back into their sleeping bags, Qin An did not intend to move Wang Ping.
This kid's tough skin and thick flesh, he'll be fine even after being frozen overnight!
Moreover... Qin An roughly understood why Wang Ping had been causing him trouble time and time again! He was very likely in love with either Xie Wenjing or Wang Yanyan!
It's more likely that they like both.
That's why she was jealous that Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan were so close to her!
............
In the live broadcast room.
Because of that chaos just now!
Many viewers who had the live stream running called their sleeping friends to wake them up and tell them to watch the live stream on Douyin, which caused the number of viewers in the live stream to increase several times over.
When they realized that Qin An hadn't put Wang Ping back in his sleeping bag, they couldn't help but laugh.
[Hahahaha... Someone's about to catch a cold and have their crystal pendant fall out! Hope they don't cry the next day!]
[Crying? Wang Ping doesn't even deserve to cry! He just beat two senior academicians terribly... then jumped on Professor Shao Wei's head and delivered a 12 o'clock elbow strike! If it weren't for Brother Qin An's quick action, I'm afraid Wang Ping would have elbowed Professor Shao Wei to death!]
Indeed! It feels very strange! Every time, it's Professor Shao Wei and Professor Zhang Yunfeng who speak up for Wang Ping... but every time Wang Ping gets into trouble, it's those two who get blamed.
[Thank goodness Brother Qin An didn't put that guy back in his sleeping bag, otherwise I would have reported the live stream.]
[Me too]
[Huh? It's not even 4 o'clock yet... What's Qin An up to instead of going back to his sleeping bag?]
..........
On the open space!
After settling everyone in the archaeological team...
Qin An then walked into the passageway behind the Chi You stone statue.
Even now, a low, mournful drumbeat still emanated from the depths of the passageway... but its volume was now almost identical to the initial one! It seemed insufficient to sway the minds of the archaeological team once more.
Therefore, Qin An felt reassured and boldly walked inside!
This dark and secluded passageway is three meters wide and three meters high, and the stone walls on both sides are covered with murals depicting Chi You hunting various wild beasts in the mountains and forests.
Among them are even some terrifying-looking monsters!
It looks eerie, like Zhong Kui catching ghosts.
"Thump thump thump—thump—thump thump thump—"
"Waaaaah—Ahhh—Roar—"
at this time.
The drumming sounds coming from deep within the passageway suddenly changed... no longer simple drumming, but eerie music mixed with the cries of babies and the roars of tigers.
The changes in the music became more and more pronounced as Qin An went deeper into the passageway!
It seems the evil spirits inside are bluffing? Trying to scare Qin An away? But Qin An has robbed at least eighty or a hundred ancient tombs in his two lifetimes!
How could they be scared off by such a small noise?
"Da da da--"
With a flashlight in his left hand, Qin An slowly drew the Black Gold Ancient Sword from his back with his right, slowed his pace, and quietly walked inside.
At the end of this passageway is an octagonal tomb chamber!
The number eight is a significant number in Chinese Feng Shui... It corresponds to the Eight Trigrams, the eight directions, and even the Eight Characters of Birth.
And in this tomb chamber.
Eight is used especially frequently!
Eight stone coffins carved from a single block of basalt, eight stone statues of wild beasts, eight oil lamps... and the eerie drumming sound came from behind the wall of this tomb chamber.
However, Qin An realized that he had been a bit careless!
Because he is now standing in the very center of the tomb.
The eerie drumming sound played in his ears like 3D surround sound, making Qin An's mind somewhat irrational, as if a murderous intent had been awakened in his mind.
He shook his head.
I need to calm myself down!
After all, if he goes crazy... the archaeological team outside would probably be hacked to pieces by him.
After redeeming a bottle of purification potion from the system shop and drinking it.
Qin An felt his mind clearing up considerably!
He began to analyze why Chi You's accomplices would build such a tomb with such a strong sense of gossip.
The eight stone coffins are placed in the center of the tomb chamber in a "非" shape.
Eight stone statues of wild beasts were placed in the eight directions of the tomb chamber: east, south, west, north, northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest, and the same was true for the eight oil lamps.
After pondering for a long time without coming up with any ideas,
Qin An decided to open the coffin first!
Let's see what's inside these eight stone coffins.
But when he opened the coffin...
I was completely dumbfounded!
Damn it... what is all this nonsense?
How could there be a black and white panda inside a stone coffin?!
Chi You's mount—the Iron-Eating Beast?
Qin An thought about it and felt that it wasn't unacceptable.
Rich people even throw wedding banquets for their pet dogs, with dowries including a Lamborghini! Chi You was, after all, a tribal leader... so it's quite reasonable for him to have his mount die with him.
But when Qin An opened the second stone coffin, he could no longer stay in Bengbu!
There is a suit of armor inside.
Moreover, it was a bronze armor with somewhat crude workmanship...
Qin An laughed angrily.
Why put armor in a coffin instead of a dead person?
Qin An doesn't want to open the coffin!
He picked up the black gold ancient sword with its maximum sharpness and randomly chose a wall, preparing to forcefully chisel it open.
But just as the Black Gold Ancient Blade touched that wall...
A bronze door immediately rose up from beneath the passage that Qin An had originally entered through!
Qin An turned around and immediately sensed something was wrong!
Because this way.
The eight stone walls of this tomb chamber are now completely repaired!
Especially considering that Chi You once used the Bagua Formation to defeat the Yellow Emperor's army... Qin An felt that this tomb chamber was probably meant to trap tomb robbers! Ah, no, it was meant to trap tomb robbers!
