Chapter 208: The stone dragon roars, the rooster crows and the lights go out

No one thought that they were already in danger before they actually stepped into the imperial mausoleum.

Qin Shihuang really took great pains to protect his imperial mausoleum.

It doesn't take much to think about the burials in the outermost layer of the imperial mausoleum. They have basically become the food of these red fire scale pythons.

Coupled with the characteristics of the red fire scale python, it naturally became a line of defense here.

At this time, on the edge of the moat, there were densely packed red fire-scaled pythons, spitting out messages and approaching with eager eyes.

Seeing this, the archaeological team members panicked and picked up their pickaxes to defend themselves.

Da Jinya hid directly behind him. With his helpless state, not causing trouble was already the greatest help.

Aning tied up his hair again and took out the exploration tool that had been tied to his leg, the machete.

Chen Wenjin also held a stick in his hand at this time, with a vigilant look on his face.

Everyone was on alert for a moment and kept retreating.

"Hiss..."

The leader of the red fire scale python suddenly straightened up and made a strange sound. Then, as if it had received an order, the red fire scale python quickly crawled out in groups.

"Be careful!"

Hu Bayi reminded loudly and took the lead in the battle.

Fortunately, the Vajra Umbrella is extremely sharp, and wherever it passes, there are snakes everywhere.

But the snakes were extremely fast and skillful, so Hu Bayi didn't dare to relax.

Zhang Qilin's black gold ancient sword is even more domineering. Every time he cuts it, it will take away the lives of several snakes.

Pan Zi held the dagger in both hands, and a red fire scale python jumped up, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Pan Zi.

Fortunately, Pan Zi reacted quickly enough and blocked the snake's mouth with the dagger while stabbing it into the snake's head.

Wu Sangou did not participate in the battle. He was rummaging around in the treasure box.

923 Not to mention Yang Xueli, holding the mysterious ruler in his right hand and pulling out the gun with his left hand.

"Bang bang bang"

Every time a bullet is fired, a red fire scale python will fall to the ground.

Compared with the calmness of the 543 exploration team, it is much more difficult for the archaeological team.

Although the team members have received some training, after all, in this kind of scene, psychological fear is the most difficult to solve.

The most outstanding performer was Aning. The machete in her hand was crisp and clean, which helped the rest of the archaeological team reduce a lot of pressure.

But more and more red fire scale pythons climbed out of the moat, and they were so fast that no one dared to look down upon them.

If you get bitten, your life will basically be decided here.

At this moment, Wu Sangou's voice came:

"Listen to my command. If I say run, run immediately into the ancient city. If you run slowly, wait for me!"

With that said, Wu Sangou took out several small porcelain bottles with very special shapes from the treasure box.

Every porcelain bottle has a charm affixed to it.

Hu Bayi casually chopped off the snake's head and asked disdainfully:

"Isn't it just shit and shit again? The little fox demon will be very angry if he sees it!"

However, Wu Sangou did not answer. He just saw an opportunity and threw a small porcelain bottle in front of everyone.

Everyone in the archaeological team only paid attention to the small porcelain bottle and did not notice at all. Wu Sangou made a hand and chanted a mantra at the same time:

"break!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the small porcelain bottle exploded, and the orange-red powder inside exploded among the snakes.

A smell suddenly hit him, and Hu Bayi suddenly understood:

"It's realgar powder!"

Wu Sangou said proudly:

"Wrong, this is highly potent, high-purity realgar powder.

Just as the realgar powder exploded and fell, the red fire-scaled pythons immediately moved out of the way, leaving a way in the middle.

Wu Sangou then threw the porcelain bottle in his hand again and shouted at the same time:

"Cover your mouth and nose and run!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

There were bursts of explosions, and almost the sky was filled with orange-red realgar powder.

At this time, other people didn't care so much anymore, they covered their mouths and noses and ran forward.

The red fire scale pythons hated the realgar powder, so they all gave way. Taking advantage of this gap, everyone crossed the suspension bridge and finally arrived at the city gate.

Behind him were red fire scale pythons approaching one after another. Professor Wu immediately ordered the members of the archaeological team to work together to push open the city gate without any mechanism.

When the city gate closed again, the fastest red fire scale python was less than one meter away from the team member standing at the back. The team members finally entered the city gate one after another and closed it.

"so close!'

"Yeah, it's so thrilling."

Everyone was breathing heavily, but when they looked up inadvertently, their eyes widened.

After entering the city gate, there is a large hall. This is just outside the outer palace, but it is already so luxurious.

The sky is full of stars, above the head is a constellation composed of hundreds of luminous pearls, and directly below is a high platform.

There are stone dragons carved on both sides of the high platform. The stone dragon has its mouth wide open, and there is a copper container underneath.

On both sides are the burial coffins that go deep into the ground, and the coffins are hung with red threads.

Ditches were clearly dug on both sides, but the coffin did not touch the ground.

"This is a hanging coffin?"

Professor Wu frowned and said:

“Although hanging coffins only began to appear during the Warring States Period, they are still very niche.

Why is there a hanging coffin burial method in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?"

However, in response, Hao Sangou shook his head:

"This is not a hanging coffin, although it is hung in the air like a hanging coffin so that the coffin does not touch the ground.

But this method is completely different from the hanging coffin.

Look, the red lines of the hanging coffin go straight to the top, intertwined and mixed together, can you see what kind of doorway is coming?"

Everyone followed what Wu Sangou said and looked up.

Under the constellation diagram (agcf) composed of night pearls, there is a red line like a spider web.

There is a coffin hanging below these red lines. There are a total of eighteen coffins in the entire hall.

As he watched, Hu Bayi seemed to notice something and frowned slightly:

"These red lines are everywhere, how come they look like a formation?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Wu and others looked at Hu Ba in confusion.

But in response, Hao Sangou shook his head:

"This is not a formation, but an alchemy.

Different from Taoism, Alchemy is close to witchcraft, and even more straightforward than witchcraft.

If alchemists are kind-hearted, there will be many alchemists in the world.

But if the alchemist's heart is poisonous, his technique will not be correct.

These red lines are all over the place, it seems to be some kind of poison-raising method!"

"Raising Gu?"

Professor Wu spoke at this time and said in surprise:

"What are you talking about, what alchemy, what cultivation of gu?"

Wu Sangou looked at Professor Wu deeply:

"Now I am just guessing, I can't be sure.

However, the purpose of our visit is not to archaeological tombs, but to search for dragon veins.

So although this place is strange, it is not the target of our investigation. "

This statement is a bit too superstitious, right?

"Moo!"

"Comrade, I don't know what this means.

“No, we can’t open the coffin!

The members of the archaeological team stopped curiously and looked back at Yang Xuele.

For the archaeological team, lifting the coffin is the best way.

"Your rules are about touching gold. We are here for archeology. They are different in nature, so the rules are not dead!"

However, just as Hu Bayi finished speaking, the candle went out without any wind.

Everyone's eyes were now focused on the two stone dragons...

"etc!"

In an instant, the faces of Hu Bayi and others changed.

Professor Wu pushed up his glasses, then looked at the members of the archaeological team and said:

Professor Wu also nodded and said to Yang Shirley:

The team members nodded one after another, and then they wanted to diagnose one of the coffins.

But just as Professor Wu was thinking, suddenly, a strange sound came.

They are all too familiar with this sound:

Professor Wu suddenly opened his mouth. It was obvious that what he wanted to say was: Although this is not your goal, it is ours!

After seeing those luminous pearls, Da Jinya couldn't wait to see the funerary objects in the coffin. Hearing this, he immediately said:

"Howling dragon?"

"If the rooster crows and the lantern goes out, there will be no gold..."

But at this moment, Yang Xueli’s voice came:

If the rooster crows and the lights go out, there will be great disaster if the coffin is opened!"

However, the members of the archaeological team looked at each other in confusion.

"Next, everyone should prepare to open the coffin, pay attention to preserving the integrity, and be careful!"

Yang Xueli frowned, although opening the coffin was not the task of the exploration team.

But it seems that they thought that they are two teams after all, and it is normal for each to have its own tasks.

Therefore, Professor Wu decided to let the archaeological team open the coffin and investigate.

The ancient tomb is full of dangers, and now we still need to grasp as many clues as possible.

But after all, we are all together, and if any problems arise, we need to share the responsibility.

Professor Wu looked at Hu Bayi and the others with some solemnity. He knew that this team had unusual strength, so he always paid great attention to their words.

But, after all, the purpose of our coming here is to explore the tomb. If this is the case, wouldn’t it mean that we will not be able to investigate in depth all the coffins we encounter in the future?”

Yang Xueli suddenly said solemnly:

So soon, Yang Xueli took out a candle, placed it in the southeast corner of the tomb, and then lit it.

But the light does not open the coffin. Professor Wu really cannot think of any scientific reason for this.

Hu Bayi saw this and whispered softly:
