Chapter 563 Snake Totem

At ten o'clock in winter, there are no lights on the other side of the town, and only the faint moonlight shines down, and people can be vaguely seen.

A group of people came to the old tree with a hanging neck. The second among the twins gestured beside the old tree for a while, then took a step back and started working on the ground with a small shovel.

"Brother, come here and help me."

The boss put down the things in his hands and went to help. The two brothers lifted up a round piece of land, revealing a dark hole underneath.

Putting the land gently on the ground, the boss said to everyone: "This is it."

Zhang Taiping admired in his heart that these people were really capable and their cover-up was perfect. It would not be easy for him to find the entrance of the cave.

The entrance to the cave appeared, and no one was in a hurry to go down. There was still a need for a lookout outside the entrance of the cave. Although it was impossible for anyone to come here on a winter night, caution is the nature of this business, and we had to take precautions. So we still

We need to discuss who will stay behind.

The twin brothers all set their sights on Zhang Taiping. They intuitively felt that Zhang Taiping was dangerous, so deep down in their hearts they did not want Zhang Taiping to follow him. If there was any dispute inside, they would lose a powerful enemy.

Wang Gui said before they could speak: "The commander-in-chief has some research on the agency industry. He must go with us."

"Oh?" the second of the twins asked with some disbelief, "Is Mr. Marshal really proficient in the art of traps?"

Does Zhang Taiping know any mechanism skills? Wang Gui's words just gave him a reason not to want him to stay outside. But speaking of it, he has the existence of space and has developed an inexplicable power of induction that can detect the surrounding situation.

Although he is not proficient in the art of mechanism, he can sense it in advance and achieve the effect of turning danger into good luck.

He nodded and said: "I can't say I'm proficient, I know a little bit."

The ancients were very taboo about being disturbed by people after their death, so they often installed various traps in their tombs, especially large tombs. There are 100% traps in them. Although it has been two thousand years, I don’t know if these traps will still be activated.

It works, but we have to guard against the ones that survive and remain intact.

In this case, the commander will have to follow.

Everyone's eyes turned away from Zhang Taiping and moved to the young man.

"I don't want to stay and go down with everyone." The young man quickly shook his head and waved his hands.

It was his first time to do such a thing, and he obviously still had fear in his heart. There was no problem with being with others, but if he was left alone in such a dark wilderness, it would make his heart tremble just thinking about it.

Professor Han, who had rarely spoken since coming out of the small hotel, said: "Let him follow him down and see what he has to say."

For some unknown reason, Poppy Hua also agreed and said, "Let this little brother go down with us. Maybe he will be of great use then."

"Yes, yes, yes, Sister Poppy is right, maybe I can be of use." The young man echoed.

The poppies giggled, which was a bit heart-stirring in this hazy moonlight-shrouded night.

The eyes of others looking at the young man became strange, especially Professor Han's eyes that looked at him as if he were looking at a dead person. However, the young man's mind was completely attracted by Poppy's laughter, and he did not notice the crowd.

Weird eyes.

The younger of the twins said, "Since you insist on going down, it's up to you. I'll stay."

When the others saw him, he proposed to stay and look after him, and naturally no one raised any objections.

Poppy Blossom brushed a few strands of hair that had been blown by the wind in front of her forehead and said, "Should I tell you how to distribute the things you find?"

The boss glanced at her and said, "According to the old rules, things you find by yourself are considered fate. What if we share the things we encounter together equally? But we brothers have to share two shares."

"This is the best." Professor Han said.

"What do you think?" The boss turned to the taciturn old farmer and the silent Zhang Taiping.

The old farmer nodded and said nothing. Zhang Taiping and others naturally had no objections.

"Since everyone agrees, let's start entering." After the boss said this, he picked up his bag and threw it into the hole, and then slowly went down from the hole.

When the boss reached the bottom and heard the echo, everyone followed him and filed in.

After everyone disappeared into the dark entrance of the cave, the second child lit a cigarette there. For some reason, he always had an ominous premonition this time and took the initiative to stay and look out for some reason.

After smoking a cigarette, he began to arrange it at the entrance of the cave. He did not cover the piece of land again, otherwise the ground would soon be deprived of oxygen. Instead, he used leaves, weeds and other things to cover it up. After that,

He did not stay here, but moved to the top of the slope. From here, he could clearly see the entire situation up and down the slope, which was equivalent to paying attention to all the directions of the east, west, north, and south gates of the mausoleum.

After going down to the ground, Zhang Taiping made an estimate and found that the entrance of the cave was not shallow, it was six or seven meters deep. Under the entrance of the cave was a narrow passage that could allow one person to pass through. Everyone turned on their flashlights and followed the boss slowly.

Moving forward.

The three of them walked at the back. When they reached a corner, Wang Gui gently tugged on Zhang Taiping's sleeve. Zhang Taiping stopped and tugged on Xing Rushui's sleeve as well.

After the three of them all stopped, Wang Gui said to them in a voice that sounded like an ant: "Looking at the situation, that young man is going to be treated as a victim. There may be something unusual here. Be careful and don't show any mercy."

heart."

Both of them nodded. The young man insisted on coming down on his own, and he brought it upon himself. He was the one who asked for being treated as an outcast exploring the way. Zhang Taiping and Xing Rushui are not weak-minded people, so naturally they will not

Feel pity for this kind of people. But I don’t know whether Professor Han will be the villain or Poppy will be the villain.

At the end of the dug passage is a stone gate. A space the size of a small house was dug out next to the stone gate, revealing the brown stone wall around the stone gate. Although the stone wall has experienced more than two thousand years of history underground, it looks seamless.

It is extremely strong. Explosives cannot be used underground. Once a large-scale collapse occurs, no one can survive.

This stone door can only be opened with skill, there is no hope of forcing it open.

Everyone looked at the boss.

The boss smiled and said: "I have something to open the stone door here, but don't worry, you first take a look at the patterns on the stone door and the guards on both sides.

The pattern on the stone door has become blurred due to the erosion of the soil and cannot be clearly seen, but the pillars on both sides of the stone door are entwined with sculptures of two snakes, with their heads facing the direction of the door and spitting out letters.

The pattern on the stone gate seems to represent a kind of writing, but it was written before the unification of the Qin State. It was so old that no one even knew it, even those who often deal with antiques.

The boss said: "I have carefully verified that these characters are indeed characters from the ancient Yue Kingdom, and these two snakes can also prove that this is a tomb that transcends time."

"How do you say that?" Wang Gui asked.

The boss did not explain, but asked Professor Han: "Professor Han, do you know what the two snakes mean?"

Professor Han thought for a moment and said: "Most of the descendants say that the totems of the crossed areas are dragons and frogs. However, as far as I know, in the ancient Yue period, the totems of the Yue people did not include dragons, but snakes and frogs. Dragon totems

It is said that it was only later generations who changed the snake into a dragon."

"That's right!" The boss clapped his hands and said, "During the ancient Yue Kingdom, the totem of the Yue people was snakes. These two stone snakes here show that at least this tomb was not built later. It was probably built more than 2,000 years ago.

The buildings of the ancient Yue Kingdom." The boss continued, "And the territory that Gou Jian crossed after defeating Fu Chai and destroying the Wu Kingdom has greatly increased. I have verified that the area we are currently in is also within the new territory of the Yue Kingdom."

The tombs of more than two thousand years ago are indeed extremely tempting to a tomb robber. Wang Gui said: "Then open the door quickly."

Seeing that everyone's appetite was whetted, the boss nodded, took two things out of the bag and inserted them into the open mouths of the two stone snakes.

ps: The fourth update is here. There will be more to come, at least one more chapter. If there is more, it depends on whether the old Buddha's eyes can hold it.
