Chapter 455: Tomb of King Chuxing?
[Oh my god...what's going on? Why are the Poisonous Corpse Immortal and those poisonous insects all still? Could it be that Brother Qin An's overbearing aura frightened them to death?]
"Are you stupid? Didn't you hear the loud thunder just now? The poisonous corpse fairy and the poisonous insect were probably scared to death by the thunder!"
[This is impossible... How could such a fierce guy be scared to death by thunder?]
"How is that impossible? Those thunderclaps just now were so sudden! I almost pissed myself! Isn't it natural to scare these bugs to death?"
[Is the person above really scared? I want to drink! ]
Qin An is so handsome! He remained calm even when facing a sudden collapse... Did he know there would be thunder?
...............
In the tomb.
The members of the archaeological team grimaced and used their little fingers to pick their ears.
Even though Brother Qin An had told them in advance to cover their ears with their hands, it was still really unbearable when those rumbling thunders sounded!
without any exaggeration!
If someone hadn't closed his lips tightly and covered his ears with his hands, the thunder would have probably deafened him!
After a while.
The archaeological team finally recovered from the torture of the thunder.
"Brother Qin An...is this Poisonous Corpse Immortal dead? And why are those densely packed poisonous insects not moving?" Yang Lele stared in amazement at the corpse of the Poisonous Corpse Immortal lying in front of Qin An.
Qin An drew out the ancient black gold knife and cut the poisonous corpse fairy's neck.
Inside the neck are densely packed poisonous insects! There are dark green geckos, vermilion centipedes, blue-purple spiders...
however!
These poisonous insects, just one of which could kill a person, are now deader than dead!
"This poisonous corpse fairy is deader than dead...but I didn't expect that those poisonous insects would be afraid of thunder?" Qin An cast a questioning look at Gu Wuyan.
Gu Wuyan also shook his head cluelessly.
She also didn't know why those poisonous insects were scared to death by the thunder!
At this time, Zhang Sitian, who had been silent all the time, spoke.
"Perhaps we should head towards that stone door... maybe there's something behind it that can explain everything."
Hear this.
The archaeological team no longer worried about the dead poisonous corpse fairy and poisonous insects. They walked around the corpse of the poisonous corpse fairy, stepped on the corpses of the poisonous insects, and entered the stone gate.
Behind this stone door is a tomb chamber only the size of a basketball court. The tomb chamber is filled with gold, silver, jewelry and cultural relics from the Warring States Period, and a stack of bamboo slips is placed on the table in the center.
Until then.
The archaeological team was completely certain that this was an ancient tomb from the Warring States Period, but everyone was a little confused as to why the tomb owner would pile up so many gold, silver, jewelry and cultural relics behind the first stone door?
"Can you read texts from the Warring States Period?"
Qin An looked at Jiang Liuli, Zhang Sitian and Yang Lele.
Yang Lele glanced away.
Jiang Liuli and Zhang Sitian said they could understand most of it.
Qin An asked the two women to put on sterile gloves and look through the bamboo slips, while the rest of the archaeological team stood guard around them, seeing the two women sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing their brows.
Qin An made a decision in his heart!
Next time I go to a tomb, I still have to bring an archaeology professor with me.
Isn’t that old man Jiang Wengu idle?
Just take him!
A few minutes later.
Jiang Liuli and Zhang Sitian finished looking through the bamboo slips on the table. After discussing some issues, they called the archaeological team and told them the contents on the bamboo slips.
Jiang Liuli looked at the bamboo slips in her hand and said:
"The first sentence on this bamboo slip is outrageous... It says, 'Hello, descendants of the later generations, may I ask if the Qin Dynasty has fallen?' Then it goes on to lament with great pride, and only at the end does he reveal himself to be Xing, the son of Fuchu, King of Chu."
"King Fu Chu of Chu? Wasn't he the last king of Chu during the Warring States Period? How come one of his sons went to Miaojiang to build an ancient tomb?" Qin An was a little confused.
Zhang Sitian said: "He said that he observed the sky at night and found that the western star was bright and the eastern star was dim... He predicted that in a war between Qin and Chu, Qin would win and Chu would be destroyed.
So he asked Fu Chu to lead 15 soldiers and civilians to escape to Yelang and Nanyue, and wait until the power of Qin declined, then he would lead his troops back to fight. The King of Chu Fu Chu actually agreed.
"After crossing Nanyue and Yelang, Ke Xing headed straight for Miao territory and immediately proclaimed himself King of Chu Xing, comparing himself to the ruler of the restoration. However, he did not rest and recuperate to prepare for a counterattack against Qin.
Instead, he imposed heavy taxes and waged war, plundering the people of Yelang and Nanyue to build him a luxurious mausoleum. These gold, silver, and jewels were his gifts to us."
"He said he simply wanted to rest here forever, waiting to be resurrected after the Qin Empire weakened. He personally led a million-strong army to attack Xianyang, hoping that tomb robbers would refrain from robbing his tomb out of his unwavering loyalty."
When Zhang Sitian said this, she could hardly hold back her laughter.
This King Chu Xing is a wonderful man!
Tomb robbers and tomb owners often have a life-and-death relationship, but King Chu Xing actually begged the tomb robbers in a bamboo slip not to rob his tomb, and even offered gold, silver, jewelry and cultural relics.
"This guy is so sensible that even I feel reluctant to rob his tomb." Hawkeye was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Why rob a tomb? We are doing archaeology! And King Chu Xing is such a mean guy!" Gu Yang said unhappily.
Hu Jizhou asked, "Why? Isn't he quite sensible?"
"Are you sensible?" Gu Yang said with a smile, "If we can't defeat the Jade Miner and the Poisonous Corpse Immortal, then we won't be able to get behind this stone door?"
"King Chu Xing placed the bamboo slips here. If anyone reads them, wouldn't it mean that the newcomer has defeated the Jade Miner and the Poisonous Corpse Immortal? I think this guy is begging for mercy because he's at his wit's end!"
As soon as Gu Yang said this.
Everyone thinks it makes sense.
If King Chu Xing had simply placed the bamboo slips begging for mercy and the gold, silver, and jewelry in the cave, that would have been a real negotiation, but wait until the archaeological team stormed into the tomb!
It was too hypocritical for him to beg for mercy in a fake manner.
Actually no matter how you say it.
Everyone in the archaeological team will go to the main tomb chamber. Now that they are here, how can they not go inside and take a look?
Moreover, King Xing of Chu mentioned that he would be resurrected and personally lead a million-strong army to attack Qin and invade Xianyang. Could it be that this old guy also found the way to immortality?
Qin An stroked his chin.
Could it be that there is a gravekeeper in King Chu Xing’s tomb?
