The subsequent excavation work seemed easy. The fat man was responsible for picking the locks and moving bricks, while Chen Wenjin was responsible for carrying the large tripod.

Chen Ze was responsible for chiseling the wall.

The soil here is very strange. It is not difficult to dig, and it is not deep, only about two meters at most.

Soon, Chen Ze and others dug out a hole that was big enough for two people to crawl into.

"Chen Ze, why don't you go in and take a look first?" Zhang Qiling urged.

Chen Ze hesitated for a while: "Okay!"

Chen Ze thought to himself, I am not afraid of death anyway, and my superpowers are still there. Even if I encounter danger, escaping will definitely not be a problem with my superpowers.

Chen Ze was the first to get into the pit, followed by Fatty and Chen Wenjin. This was a very narrow space, with a height difference of about 10 meters and a width of about 2 meters.

The air here was a little humid and had a slightly rotten smell. Chen Ze couldn't help but wrinkled his nose.

"Oh my god! Look, what is this?" the fat man suddenly shouted excitedly.

Chen Ze and others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a lot of bones.

The fat man pointed at a skull-like structure and shouted at Chen Ze and the others.

"Damn, so many dead bodies?" The fat man was so scared that he hid behind Chen Ze.

Chen Wenjin: "Don't yell, these dead people have no clothes on, they are still alive!"

Chen Wenjin explained.

Chen Ze: "What's going on? Who killed him?"

Chen Ze looked at the skull. The corpses here were basically human-shaped, except for this skull.

Chen Wenjin: "This is not a tomb, it is impossible for people to be buried alive."

Fatty: "You mean someone broke into this ancient tomb?"

"Yes!" Chen Wenjin said firmly. In this situation, she didn't dare to make random guesses.

Fatty: "So what should we do now? Keep digging?"

Chen Wenjin: "Let's wait until daybreak. When daybreak comes, the environment here will be suitable for archaeological exploration."

"This is the only way. My calves are shaking. There are so many bones. I don't know when a centipede will crawl out and bite me." The fat man patted his chest, as if he was really scared.

"Fatty, don't worry. This is the emperor's tomb. There aren't any poisonous insects or ferocious beasts. It's just a little creepy." Zhang Qiling comforted him.

"Well, I hope so." The fat man sighed.

Seeing that no one was moving, Chen Ze walked over to the skeleton and picked up a small piece of metal that had fallen on the ground.

This piece of metal is no different from ordinary copperware, except that its color is dark red, very similar to the color of blood, and it looks quite evil.

"This should be a jade pendant!" Zhang Qiling said. Judging from the appearance, it is very likely an ornament used by some kind of nobles in ancient times.

Chen Ze put the jade pendant away and prepared to take it away. After all, there were so many things in here that needed the jade pendant.

"what!"

Suddenly Chen Ze felt something.

"What did Boss Chen find out?" Zhang Qiling came over quickly.

Chen Ze squatted down and fumbled around at his trouser legs for a while.

"Look what this is." Chen Ze lifted up his trouser legs and saw a small totem mark on the waistband.

"Dr. Chen, what's in your trouser pocket?" The fat man came over. Zhang Qiling saw it clearly, "This is..."

When the fat man heard that Zhang Qiling knew how to read, he also came forward eagerly to take a look: "What the hell is this?"

Chen Ze pointed at the totem and said, "I'm not sure either. This is a symbol, but it's very special. There's a word engraved in the middle of it, and I don't recognize it!"

"What word? Let me read it to you?" Chen Wenjin asked curiously.

Chen Ze waved his hand: "I know this character, it's the character '山'."

"Which mountain is this?" The fat man scratched his head, and for a moment he couldn't understand why Chen Ze said this was the word "mountain".

"I don't know!" Chen Ze shook his head.

"I know!"

At this moment, Zhang Qiling, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

"Oh! Then tell me, how do you know this is the word "mountain"? " Chen Wenjin looked at Zhang Qiling curiously.

"I have read a book that contains descriptions of mountains, rivers and streams," Zhang Qiling replied.

"Classic of Mountains and Seas?" the fat man exclaimed.

Chen Wenjin: “Yes!”

Zhang Qiling: "Classic of Mountains and Seas. Great Wilderness East and West"

Chen Wenjin: "This is an ancient book!"

The fat man swallowed his saliva. He was just browsing the Internet and never thought that ancient books could be bought.

Chen Ze: "Brother Zhang, you also read ancient books, how come I didn't know?" Zhang Qiling smiled slightly, "A scholar must have some hobbies!"

Everyone: "..."

"Brother Zhang, you're awesome!" The fat man gave a thumbs up and praised. Zhang Qiling even understood ancient books, which made the fat man respect Zhang Qiling.

Chen Ze ignored Zhang Qiling because he had just scanned the entire space.

Apart from the skull that Zhang Qiling and Fatty had just mentioned, there were only three pillars left, nothing else.

"What's going on? Could it be that the owner of this ancient tomb was a martial arts master who died here?" Chen Lili guessed.

Chen Ze: "It's possible, but this is too simple, just a skeleton?"

Chen Lili: "Look at this skeleton. There is a jade pendant on his palm. It should be this person's token. But there are words engraved on the jade pendant. What are they?"

Chen Lili stretched out her hand in front of the jade pendant and studied it carefully for a long time, but did not find any words.

"No words!" Chen Lili gave up and changed the subject: "Did you notice the pen stuck in this person's head? The end of the pen is round, which means the tip of the pen is facing downwards, which means this person should have been kneeling or lying on his back before his death. There was also something on his knees. If it was a pillow, the pillow would have become hard after such a long time."

After Chen Lili finished her analysis, Zhang Qiling added: "There are many pottery jars, porcelain bowls and other sundries scattered around this person's body, which means that this person was a chef before his death."

Chen Ze: "These pottery jars and porcelain bowls are used to hold meat. Do you think it is these pottery jars and porcelain bowls that are blocking the poisonous snakes and spiders?"

Chen Lili: "We can't rule out this possibility, but since there are poisonous snakes and spiders here, it proves that the tomb owner died of poison. As for the reason, I can't deduce it for now, but I have a hunch that we are one step closer to our goal."

Fatty: "Haha, I think we are about to find a clue, but how did this Master Mu die?"

Chen Lili: "This tomb is not big, there are no traps on the walls and the top, it is a closed tomb. According to the layout of the tomb, the layout of the tomb should be connected in all directions. This is the difficulty of our treasure hunt, because there are dangers in every direction. We must survey one by one to ensure that there is no risk!"

Fatty: "Look at the patterns on this coffin. Although they are irregular, they are obviously carved by hand. There are also candles left inside the coffin, and the flames on the candles have not yet gone out, which means that the owner of the tomb is still alive." (End of this chapter)
