"Don't say the general is unhappy, if it were me, I wouldn't be reconciled either. Who could be reconciled?"
...
In the Dean's conference room.
"General Bai Hu... No wonder the history of the Great Qin is gone. It was deliberately erased. What a pity."
Professor Wen felt regret and heartache upon hearing this. This feeling was truly unbearable.
To see such good history disappear just like that?
For those who studied history, this was unacceptable.
"It is indeed a pity. Looking at it this way, there's only this much information about the general. Let's give up."
The Dean said with great regret, looking at the large screen.
The other professors chattered, and the entire conference room was discussing the general.
Inside the tomb.
Elder Tang and Professor Lin and the other professors were looking at the bamboo slips before them, beginning to study them carefully.
Zhou Lin stood with Wolf King, looking at the tomb chamber. The chamber was small, but there was no sign of an exit.
"Brother Zhou Lin, look at this."
Wolf King looked at the area behind the talisman and saw a gap.
It was very well hidden, and he wasn't entirely sure.
"Wolf King is indeed Wolf King, with keen observation. This is indeed an exit, but we can't leave for now."
Zhou Lin first praised him, then smiled helplessly.
Seeing Zhou Lin smile like that, Wolf King instantly thought of a word.
Money.
"Can't we leave without paying?"
Wolf King couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards Elder Tang. With this kind of setup, the archaeological team would be in debt by the time they got out, right?
"Wolf King, I like money, but it's not like everything requires money. Am I that kind of person?"
Zhou Lin put on a righteous demeanor.
Wolf King, the security guards, the biologist, the gymnastics champion, and the others all thought in unison.
You absolutely are.
"But I can't refuse money if it's offered, right? How poor am I? I'm just short of starving to death."
Zhou Lin felt he had overdone it and quickly added.
"Stop beating around the bush. You've already earned a lot on this journey. We're all envious. Can you give the archaeological team a discount?"
The gymnastics champion, upon hearing this, quickly chimed in.
"Exactly, don't be too greedy. We need to get out of here quickly. Don't you want to get out as soon as possible?"
The biologist added from the side.
Zhou Lin shrugged.
"It's not that I don't want to leave, but this talisman is preventing us from leaving. This talisman is used to nurture corpses, and corpses do not leave. So, this thing is still in effect. To leave, we need to break this talisman."
Zhou Lin then turned his gaze to the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest was examining the talismans. When he felt everyone's gaze on him, he was momentarily bewildered.
Why were they looking at him?
"Brother Taoist priest, break this talisman. Otherwise, we can't leave. You are knowledgeable; you must know about this."
Zhou Lin chuckled. He wasn't going to do free work. It was better to let the Taoist priest do it himself.
"Daoist friend Zhou Lin, are you crazy? This is forbidden magic. How could I break it? I've only heard of such things. My master never allowed me to touch them. How would I know? Don't even think about it."
The Taoist priest's eyes widened at the mention of it. This was a matter of life and death!
Zhou Lin was taken aback, his smile frozen on his face.
Elder Tang and Professor Lin had already put away the bamboo slips, intending to study them later. They happened to hear the Taoist priest's voice.
They cast their gaze back to Zhou Lin.
In the live stream.
"Haha, what will the big shot do this time? Will he act? If he acts, there's no money."
"It's over this time. They might encounter a very difficult problem. To act or not to act, that's the question."
"Haha, let's wait and see the big shot struggle. Only money can make the big shot struggle."
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin then looked at Elder Tang.
Upon seeing this, Elder Tang and Professor Lin quickly lowered their heads, took out their bamboo slips, and deliberately avoided Zhou Lin's gaze.
Zhou Lin's mouth twitched again. Finally, he resigned himself.
"Alright, alright. I'll give you a discount."
Seeing this, Zhou Lin sighed in resignation. He then walked to the wall, holding the Azure Dragon Treasure Sword, and leaped up. He used the sword to draw on the wall, but no one knew what he was drawing.
He drew back and forth on the stone wall for ten minutes until the stone wall was modified.
Finally, the stone door in the gap automatically sprang open.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they gave Zhou Lin a thumbs-up. His skills were truly amazing.
"Let's go."
Zhou Lin looked at the talisman above, which he had destroyed. He nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the stone door.
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, the participants, the archaeological students, and the security personnel all looked at the stone wall in astonishment.
They didn't understand the talisman very well, but comparing it before and after, the talisman now looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Zhou Lin walk away, everyone quickly followed, fearing that something might happen.
Zhou Lin entered a stone door, and a corridor appeared. As they walked further in, they heard sounds like horses' hooves and many lively noises.
There were also sounds of hawking.
Zhou Lin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then continued walking inside.
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, the historian, the biologist, the Olympic champion, and the gymnastics champion behind him all turned pale upon hearing this.
"What was that sound? Did I hear it wrong?"
The historian's face was grim, and he was still a little nervous, looking at the biologist beside him with fear.
"It sounded like horses' hooves and hawking. Did I hear it wrong? Is this a tomb or a marketplace?"
The biologist was equally terrified.
"No... How can there be market sounds inside? What's going on? Are there living people inside?"
Wolf King looked ahead, completely bewildered and somewhat surprised.
Elder Tang and Professor Lin exchanged glances, a sense of nervousness creeping into their hearts.
Their footsteps also halted.
The students and security personnel behind them were instantly frightened upon hearing the sounds. They held their weapons in front of them.
Seeking a sense of security.
In the live stream.
"What's going on? How can there be living people here?"
"Holy crap, I'm a little scared now. What should we do? Will we see many bad things later?"
"Me too. All the things I imagined before, I'm really scared now."
"Damn, stop talking. If you keep talking, we'll scare ourselves to death."
