Chapter 1348 The Country Knows Me

Fang Qiu heard this unexpected question.

Fang Qiu shook his head speechlessly and smiled wryly. Then he turned his head and said to the college student next to him with a serious face, “There is a black hole behind the bronze door. After you enter, you will transcend time and space and move on to a fantasy world!”

His description startled the college student.

He was in a daze.

He stared at Fang Qiu with wide-open eyes and said, “You’re lying. If you could travel through time, why did you come back? It must be wrong. You couldn’t have done that!”

This time, Fang Qiu was quite at a loss for a reply.

“This young man is truly lost in the world of hot fantasy-action-adventure drama!”

Just then…

The people ahead stopped.

Fang Qiu quickly looked up and found they had reached the end of the tomb passage. After they turned a corner, they came to a stone door.

This stone door looked very thick and simple without any patterns on it. But there were two stone statues guarding it on both sides!

“Everyone, be careful. Don’t touch anything.”

After the archaeological captain said that, the crowd dispersed and began to scrutinize the surroundings.

Fang Qiu also took the opportunity to observe the situation here.

Over there…

They had entered the tomb through the straight tomb passageway. This stone door was in line with the passage. However, like an ancient screen behind a room door, a very high cyan stone wall had been placed before this stone door. If anyone in the passage wanted to enter the door, he had to go around the screen from either side.

Although the tomb did not look as clean and tidy as in the TV series, it was not that dirty either.

Other than the bugs, there were only some spider webs at the top and dust all over the ground.

The two stone men looked like warriors.

They appeared quite forbidding.

Fang Qiu approached the stone guards to take a closer look.

In the meantime…

The archaeological team also came over. Together with Fang Qiu, they scrutinized the stone guards from top to bottom before they approached the big stone door.

After a while…

“Great. That’s great.”

The archaeological captain said excitedly, “It hasn’t been destroyed. We can be sure that the tomb is untouched. The grave robbers must have died due to the previous flipping planks mechanism.”

This time…

All the archaeological members, the students, and Lu Jinzhou breathed a deep sigh of relief. Since the tomb had not been plundered, their investigation was worth it!

In a frenzy…

Several experts from the archaeological team gathered before the stone gate and searched for a long time.

“There are no mechanisms.”

One man shook his head helplessly and said, “We can only try to push it open.”

After that, all the people used all their strength to push the door.

As a result…

The stone door did not budge even an inch, though everyone exerted all their strength. All their efforts seemed to be wasted.

“What’s going on?”

Lu Jinzhou raised his eyebrows and said gloomily, “Can’t we get in?”

“According to my experience, there must be a Dragon-breaking Stone inside the stone gate. It is blocking the gate. Even if the number of our group has doubled or tripled, we can’t push it open. How do we do this?”

The archaeological captain shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “Well, we can only wait for the engineering team. When they come, they can have a try.”

As soon as he said that…

Everyone felt frustrated.

Initially, they took a profound interest in exploring a grand tomb in ancient times. To their dismay, a stone gate kept them out. They were upset.

In particular, these college students…

They felt really down.

They managed to get the chance to visit a tomb, and it was such a big one. However, they couldn’t even get inside. This unexpected setback made them thoroughly frustrated.

After all, chances to explore an unopened tomb were few and far in between. They could only get such a chance after they became archaeologists. In most cases, they could only explore a tomb after the engineering team opened it.

What mattered most here…

It was rare to see a large tomb like this, even in a hundred years.

If they returned and the engineering team came, many more people would go to the tomb. To protect the precious items in this tomb, only a few of them would be allowed to return to the site of the tomb.

At that time, it was hard to say who would get the chance to return.

“Let’s go.”

Members of the archaeological team waved their hands and motioned for everyone to turn back.

In the crowd…

Fang Qiu frowned.

He quickly stepped out and said, “Let me have a shot at it.”

“Forget it.”

Lu Jinzhou shook his head and said, “Let’s go. No one can push the stone away.”

Fang Qiu had knocked out an adult wild boar with one hand. In addition, he had caught a boulder that fell from a cliff more than ten meters high. Lu Jinzhou knew all of this.

From these aspects, Fang Qiu’s strength was undoubtedly enormous.

However, if there was really a Dragon-breaking Stone behind the stone door, it was absolutely impossible for Fang Qiu to push it open, no matter how powerful he was.

For Fang Qiu…

They had come this far. Leaving empty-handed was totally unacceptable.

Besides…

No matter how heavy the stone gate was, could it keep a guru out of the tomb?

Fang Qiu walked to the stone gate.

When everyone had turned around and started backtracking, Fang Qiu secretly activated his internal Qi.

“Hoo!”

A loud shout echoed all around the space.

All the internal Qi in Fang Qiu rose in turbulent waves. He pressed his palms on the stone gate and gave it a sharp push.

“Crack.”

There came a crisp sound.

The others had walked five or six meters away and were about to make a turn. When they heard the sound, they all stopped and turned to look at Fang Qiu in unison.

Under their gazes…

Behind Fang Qiu’s palms, the big stone gate actually moved!

“Crack, crack, crack…”

After three or four clicking sounds were heard…

“Buzz.”

There came the sound of the stone gate scraping against the ground.

Little by little, Fang Qiu succeeded in pushing open the heavy stone gate.

This scene was rare to see.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“What the fuck!”

“He pushed it away?”

“What the hell was going on? He alone pushed the gate open?”

“Holy shit, all of us tried our best but failed to move it even a little. How could he do it by himself?”

This scene shocked these archaeological members to the core.

One by one, they quickly returned. However, they were so flatly taken aback that they forgot to help. They watched Fang Qiu push the huge stone away, an inch at a time.

One minute later…

Fang Qiu finally pushed the stone gate wide open.

Through the stone gate, Fang Qiu forcefully pushed back the large Dragon-breaking Stone behind it. Everyone gaped at his movement in sheer amazement.

Such a boulder weighed at least dozens of tons!

How could Fang Qiu do it alone?

Even if he was an expert or a master, he could not do it, could he?

At this point…

Everyone shifted their eyes from the Dragon-breaking Stone to Fang Qiu. They even forgot to look into the tomb. Everyone fixed their gazes on Fang Qiu as if they were looking at a monster. They were so awed at the sight that no one could speak.

Over here…

After Fang Qiu swung the gate open.

He heaved a long sigh of relief.

This stone door was heavy. Beyond that, there was a Dragon-breaking Stone that weighed dozens of tons behind it. Thus, it took him a lot of effort to push it open.

All of a sudden…

“You… Are you a human being?”

Just as Fang Qiu gasped for breath, an extremely shocked voice came from the other side.

Everyone remained silent as they waited for Fang Qiu’s answer.

Fang Qiu chuckled and said, “Of course I am.”

“How is that possible? How can a person have so much strength?”

“You’re a ghost, right?”

“Are you the owner of this tomb? You brought all of us here on purpose to…”

As a college student spoke, his voice trembled with fear.

“Haha.”

Fang Qiu couldn’t help smiling and said, “The state knows me.”

Members of the archaeological team and Lu Jinzhou heard his reply.

Their eyes lit up, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it involved the country…

They felt secure enough to accept all his abnormal acts.

The students were also relieved.

A student went straight to Fang Qiu and reached out to pinch his arm.

Then he turned to the other students and said, “He is no different from any normal person?”

Words failed Fang Qiu when he heard this.

Next…

They walked through the gate together.

“This is the inner tomb passage.”

Upon entering, an archaeologist said, “We had walked through the outer tomb passage. Now, the inner tomb passage is right before us. Besides the two passages, a great tomb usually has patios, side rooms, corridors, coffin chambers, back rooms, etc. We officially entered the tomb the moment we stepped into the inner tomb passage.”

Everyone heard his introduction.

They looked up.

There was a small area behind the stone gate roughly the size of the gate. In addition, they could only see a flight of stairs leading down. Moreover, as the staircase went down, it grew wider. When it reached the bottom, the inner tomb passage became twice as wide as the passage outside. The passage base became as broad as a small square, which made them flustered.

“Let’s go.”

The archaeological captain shouted excitedly and immediately went down the stairs and led everyone toward the inner tomb passage. As he walked, he said, “This inner tomb passage is at least nine meters wide, and the walls on both sides are flat. The standard of workmanship is very high.”

“Good. That’s really good!”

Although the inner tomb passage was very wide…

Its bottom half was only about 20 meters long.

Therefore, they soon came to the end of the passage. There, they saw a spiral stairway that led upward. In this wide space, it looked like a building.

Beyond doubt…

This place was a patio.

The inner tomb passage was at the bottom of the patio. There were three rooms and two chambers on the left and right sides. The patio was about 19 meters long and 13 meters wide. It looked very spacious.

However…

The patio was high and broad, but it seemed to have no special significance except that it was connected to the inner tomb passage. The experts went up the stairs but found nothing up there. They had no choice but to come down and continue to move inside.

After the patio, they came to another gate.

It was a cyan stone gate that was larger than the previous one. There were no words or patterns on it. This time, two stone tortoises, instead of two stone soldiers, guarded the stone gate on both sides.

The archaeological captain stood before the tomb door.

He said, “As soon as the tomb door is opened, we can see the coffin chambers behind it.”

After that…

He turned to look at Fang Qiu.

One after another, the others also looked expectantly at Fang Qiu.

In their opinion…

Fang Qiu had performed a miracle once. Now it was time for him to achieve another great marvel.

Everyone came to this tomb mainly for those artefacts that lay behind this gate.

Under everyone’s gazes…

Fang Qiu took a deep breath, stepped forward, and stood before the stone gate. Right after his internal Qi surged out, he extended both hands to push the stone gate.

It cost him much more energy this time around to complete the task.

Fang Qiu was nearly overcome by fatigue during the process. With great difficulty, he pushed open this big stone door and revealed the situation inside.
