Night blind mountain.

This is the destination of the archaeological team. It will be called Yebiao Mountain because it is really hard to see your fingers at night. It is so dark. Even with the help of lighting equipment, it is basically useless here, and it will make people feel as dark as a tide.

Even the villagers living nearby dared to approach here. In addition to the darkness, they were also afraid of ferocious wild beasts. The wild wolf and black bear that appeared here from time to time were invisible as a deterrent.

"Start the explosion!"

When the archaeological team arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zheng Xique issued a blasting order. The advance personnel who had been waiting in front pressed the button without hesitation. With a low explosion, the entire mountain wall exploded on the spot, revealing a dark hole, and the whistling cold wind blew out.

Even if there is sunshine, it cannot be shined in due to the obstruction of the mountains on both sides.

"Let's go in." Zheng Xique looked at the entrance of the cave and said with a serious expression.

"good."

Ji Nian was very obedient. Bai Guchua asked him to follow Lumi, so he would never leave him. Walking in this mountain road, he looked up at both sides, and couldn't help but secretly sigh at the magic of nature's creation. It was magical and magnificent. Even if it was high-tech, it could not create such a miracle.

"I had this situation when my teacher and I were visiting the tomb before, and the tomb was visited. When we received the news, we rushed over without stopping, but even so, it was still too late."

"You wouldn't even think of how rampant tomb robbers were. They wouldn't pay attention to any history and culture at all. They were staring at the treasures in the tombs. As long as it was profitable, they wouldn't pay attention to the rest."

"I hope that those unscrupulous guys will not appear this time, otherwise the Peacock Tomb will be really destroyed." Rumi said in a low voice.

A tomb robber? Ji Nian thought about something.

"Rumi, you don't have to worry. The inspection of the Peacock Tomb is different from other places. It has been under martial law. Except for our archaeological team, the tomb robbers who want to take advantage of the situation have no chance or possibility to come in."

"What I mean is that if tomb robbers dare to come to our place, they will leave without returning."

"The Peacock Tomb is not an ordinary tomb. Even if ordinary tomb robbers think about it, they have to estimate their ability. But speaking of this group of tomb robbers, they really deserve to be sentenced to death."

"A group of thieves who know how to steal things will be messed up as long as they have been patronized by the tombs. If you say robbing things, don't break the rest of the things. Who will care about these?"

"Yes, tomb robbers should be killed!"

...

The rest of the archaeological team began to discuss it hotly, or complain more accurately. Should all tomb robbers be killed? This is a very correct view in your opinion, in the eyes of others?

If we really talk about what should be killed, what should be killed by tomb robbers, what should be killed by human traffickers, what should be killed by poaching, there are so many people in this world who should be killed, can we kill as long as we make mistakes? A speechless thought came to Ji Nian's heart, but he didn't say much, just listen quietly.

Bai Guchuan and Zheng Xique walked in the front, and when they heard these radical remarks, they looked indifferent. They were all people from this age group, and their thoughts were even more extreme than this.

But is it useful? Don’t say that you can’t touch the tomb robber, even if you encounter it, what can you do? If you really want to start, the only ones who are unlucky in the end will probably be the archaeological team.

The ruthlessness of tomb robbers is unimaginable. They can act ruthlessly against their accomplices, let alone those who block their financial path.

"Ji Nian is good, I can still keep calm when I hear these words." Zheng Xique turned his head and glanced at him and said in a low voice.

"What's the point of making a fuss about this? They just complained. Do you want to scare Ji Nian like this? Some of the kids' experiences have gone through are bigger than this one."

"I think now that it is best for him to be as calm as he is now after he is placed in the tomb. You and I know that flowers in greenhouses are the most undesirable for engaged in archaeological work, and only those who have truly experienced the test of practice are the most responsible." Bai Guchuan said calmly.

"It makes sense!" Zheng Xique nodded.

"But what they said is not unreasonable. I always feel that something will happen this time. Do you think those tomb robbers will really give up this piece of fat? No, the tomb robbers know how scarce and mysterious the Peacock Tomb is. "

"If they were to see the secret here, who would be indifferent? After all, the area covered by this tomb should be very large, just an entrance to martial law, what about the rest of the place?"

"They might find other imports. Our strength is limited, so it is impossible to fully understand everything. If you encounter a tomb robber in it, Lao Zheng, have you arranged the people in the team?" Bai Guchuan swept to the team behind with deep meaning and asked in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged." Zheng Xique nodded.

"That's good, let's go. I can't wait to see what the size of the Peacock Mausoleum is!" Bai Guchen's eyes burst out with brilliance, took a deep breath, and moved forward firmly with his hiking pole.

At the entrance.

It was no different from the entrance that Bai Guchua and the others had seen before. The archaeological team walked in one after another. However, these things they were all accustomed to were strange in Ji Nian's eyes.

He has never experienced it personally, but has seen it in movies. How can he compare with his current personal practice?

"This style is definitely a product of the Snake Ji Emperor Dynasty! Haha, maybe we really found the Peacock Mausoleum this time."

"I dare say that even if it is not the tomb of the national teacher Peacock, it will definitely be unrelated to the Snake Ji Emperor Dynasty. Maybe we can follow the clues and find the real Peacock Mausoleum."

"You are right. Even if you are not a peacock master, you will leave clues. But your intuition tells me that this is the tomb of the peacock. According to the records, not everyone is qualified to enjoy this type of burial pillar."

"Look at these giant pillars, each of which is carved with countless pythons. Some of them have their eyes open, some have spitting out snake letters, and some are sleeping. There are a total of eighty-one snake pillars. This is called "Snakes in the classics of the Snake Emperor's Dynasty!"

...

Snakes?

Ji Nian heard this for the first time. When he looked at Bai Guchuan, he swept over the team members with puzzled expressions and said slowly: "The snake arch is indeed the most obvious sign of the Snake Ji Emperor Dynasty. This sign has a specific symbolic meaning and place of use, and symbolizes the worship of the Great Emperor Snake Ji. The place of use can only be a tomb."

"Apart from tombs, there will be no snakes everywhere. This is the same as our modern burning of paper money. Apart from burning when sacrificing ancestors, have you seen anyone who usually burns that kind of thing? No.

Even the snake arches have strict hierarchy restrictions, and the standard for dividing the hierarchy is the number of snake arches. A giant pillar is a snake arch."

"If ordinary people bury it, at least one can be at least nine. With different official positions, the number of snakes you can have is also different. The ninety-eighty-one in front of you proves that it is at least at the level of the national master, either the national master or the prince. If it were others, it would be no right to enjoy it.

The emperors of the Snake Ji Emperor Dynasty have no limit on the use of the snake arches, the more the better."

"I didn't expect this thing to say."

Listening to Bai Guchen's explanation, everyone couldn't help but think. This is the meaning of the existence of the archaeological team. As long as anyone has questions, someone will answer it if asked.

If it were a tomb robbers, they wouldn't care about these snakes at all, even if they care, no one would explain more. With the ability to explain, they could go far away and get treasures as soon as possible.

"These snakes are so beautiful!"

After Lumi was attracted by the giant pillar, she raised her hand and stroked it. Just as she had just made this move, Ji Nian's face suddenly changed drastically, and she stopped anxiously, "Miss Xiaomi, you can't touch all the snakes, and you all stopped, don't touch anyone!"

While shouting, Ji Nian shot out, pulled Lumi into his arms and retreated backwards. But even though he had a first-rate reaction, it was too late. Lumi's hand had already stroked the giant pillar, and the moment he touched, an amazing scene happened.

The snakes, which had no movement, made hissing sounds as if they were coming alive, and the sound was like countless giant snakes were hissing.

What's more, the others didn't have time to withdraw their arms, and watched a squirt of smoke spray out. As they hit the arm, the arms began to change color and turned into the most desperate gray.

"It's poisonous! You all leave the snakes, don't touch anyone!" Bai Guchua shouted urgently.

"Ah, my arms are no longer conscious and I can't feel any pain!"

"My right leg was also numb and unconscious."

"Oh no, I seem to have breathed in this smoke. Will it be wrong?"

...

A panic began to spread among the crowd. All the people who were hit were shouting fiercely, and those who were not hit were backing back. Everyone was afraid that this inexplicable smoke would pull them into the abyss of disaster.

"Don't move any of it!"

Ji Nian shouted loudly, and while Lumi stood firm in the local area, his hands were raised like lightning. The closest hitter to him suddenly inserted silver needles into the arm of the arm.

That's not all. His feet kept moving. He locked all the members of the poisoned team and stabbed them one by one. After he got the last poisoned person, Ji Nian relaxed slightly, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and swept over everyone with confusion on his face and explained softly.

"I don't know that these giant pillars are snake arches, but just now I smelled a faint smell of medicine. This smell is very similar to a poisonous mist I have studied before. That poisonous mist was refined by refining the toxins of the poisonous snake."

"So I thought, maybe there was poisonous fog hidden in the snakes. At the same time, I don't know if you have noticed that the snake eyes of each snake are small holes, which means there is definitely space inside."

"Even if it is not completely hollow, at least there are partitions. As long as there is a partition, there is a possibility of poisonous fog being placed. Unfortunately, I reminded you a little late, but please rest assured that the poisonous fog in your body has been temporarily controlled and will not continue to extend, and will not affect your mind through your bloodline. It is just..."

Ji Nian wanted to speak but stopped.

"Just what?" Bai Guchen asked anxiously.

"It's just that they can't continue to go to the tomb. Although I can control the spread of poisonous fog, there are restrictions. The time it can be controlled is only four hours, so they must withdraw immediately and return to Lanzhou to detoxify."

"Also, this is just the snake arch at the beginning, so snake venom is not important. Who knows what it will become deeper? If the snake venom inside becomes heavier, it is very likely to cause unnecessary changes. So I insisted that some of them evacuate the tomb and go back to treat it."

"Master, I think we should be more cautious and we must hold the equipment we carry with us tightly. If we are not careful, we may lose various mechanisms." Ji Nian said with a clear and decisive look on his face.

Several poisoned team members looked shocked.

"Ji Nian, is it really as serious as you said?"

"What we are saying is that we carry snake venom serum with us. Isn't it okay after injection?"

"If we withdraw all of us, the strength of the archaeological team will be weakened. Otherwise, we should not continue to get to the tomb. We should withdraw now and come again after we are ready!"

...

Several people in the snake venomous fog said rushing to the end, they didn't want to withdraw just now. They have done so much preparations. If they withdraw before they even start, even if they have achieved success in the end, it has nothing to do with them.

Thinking of that result, no one could stand the impulse in his heart and shouted urgently. Everyone's eyes released a hot smell, eager to hear the answer they wanted.

All retreated? When Zheng Xique heard this, his brow raised slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He could say such words. It seems that you guys have been sitting in the office for too long and have forgotten their duty.

You are poisoned by accident. You can't slow down the progress of the entire archaeological team because of this? If you say that you will withdraw all the preparations, all the preparations will be ruined. What changes will happen next in the Peacock Tomb, which has already exploded the holes, and who can guarantee it?

This is absolutely not possible!

"You six are not allowed to go down again. All of them are withdrawn from the archaeological team and return to the hospital in the city to detoxify!" Zheng Xique said with a cold face.

"Old Zheng..."

"There is no room for negotiation for this matter. Just your current situation is just a drag. I don't think you want to drag down the progress of the entire archaeological team, right? Besides, doing this is also for the safety of your life. Archaeology is great, but can it be greater than your life? I didn't see that you were talking so hard, and my face turned a lot more silence. Ji Nian, are they the deepening of the poisonous fog?" Zheng Xique asked sideways and worriedly.

"yes!"

Ji Nian carefully swept the faces of the six people and said with a solemn expression: "I just said that only your acupoints are sealed, and what is guaranteed is that in a stable state, you will not be invaded by snake venom, but if anyone is so excited, the situation will worsen."

"My suggestion remains unchanged, and I will withdraw from the archaeological team immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. This is not an exaggeration. Everyone, you don't want to become a dead body in the next second."

dead body?

When this word emerged from Ji Nian's mouth, the six people's expressions changed drastically. After looking at each other, no one insisted on staying, and they all obediently withdrew from the archaeological team.

Fortunately, this place was just the entrance, and they soon came outside and rushed to Lanzhou City with the help of a special person. What awaited them was safe and sound. If they continued to stick to their own opinions, Ji Nian was really not joking. None of the six people would be able to walk out of the ancient tomb alive.

"Ji Nian, are the rest of them okay?" Bai Gudian asked in a tight voice after watching the six people leave.

"this…"

Ji Nian hesitated a little, and the entire archaeological team suddenly became nervous.
