"I think this woman is truly blessed. That general is also very handsome, and he even renounced his vows for her, and then rose to the rank of general. No matter what the final outcome is, this man truly put his heart into it."
"Why do I feel like I'm not as well off as this woman, and I haven't met anyone who cherishes me. I fancy the big boss, but I know the big boss will never belong to me."
"I envy this woman too. It's really rare."
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin continued to look, and saw that beside the portrait, there was also a pile of text, all written in the script of the Warring States period.
"What does this say?"
The metaphysics professor also noticed it and quickly took a picture with his phone.
"This is the past of this general and this woman."
Zhou Lin glanced at it and explained.
This woman was originally a puppet show apprentice who traveled the streets, often performing puppet shows. The woman was naturally beautiful.
She was taken a fancy to by a wealthy official's family, who intended to seize her by force. The woman, unwilling, fled to a Taoist temple, where she met the general. After spending time together, they fell in love.
The woman's father strongly opposed their union. To marry the woman, the general resolutely renounced his vows, joined the army, and within two years, rose to the rank of general.
When he returned, intending to find the woman, she had already been sold to a rich merchant by her family.
However, the woman was also a woman of strong character. On her wedding night, she drowned herself in a well.
The general, upon learning of this, fell into despair and never married again.
However, the text did not clearly explain how these generals appeared here.
In the Warring States period, heroes emerged in great numbers. A general could rise overnight, but a country could also be destroyed overnight.
"So, this general was a devoted lover. It's a pity they could never be together."
The metaphysics professor lamented.
"Living with a memory in this life must have been very painful for him. Death and dissipation might be a release."
Zhou Lin said slowly.
"By the way, what was wrong with your eyes earlier? They looked different from before. A bit terrifying."
The metaphysics professor suddenly remembered and asked in confusion.
"That was Taoist magic. It's a kind of Taoist magic. You wouldn't understand even if I told you, so it's better not to ask."
Zhou Lin didn't know how to explain it and just brushed it off.
The netizens, upon hearing this, felt sentimental.
"I never imagined this general would experience unrequited love."
"Be rational. Unrequited love is not an excuse for murder. Don't be so sentimental. This is not a reason to kill."
"Exactly, exactly. You people are really something."
"What do you people know? This matter is not as simple as you think. Killing has nothing to do with love."
Inside the tomb.
A few hours later, everyone woke up.
Samir, Jimmy, and Gary also woke up, their bodies aching all over.
Even moving made their bones hurt terribly.
The three of them gasped in pain, and their minds began to recall the previous events.
They only remembered that they seemed to have been working, and a lot of work at that.
"It's good that you're awake. You can leave now."
Guo Liang looked at the three of them and said slowly.
Samir heard this and saw that the people from Great Xia were all looking at him, and he was taken aback.
"What happened just now? Why do our bodies hurt so much?"
Samir looked at Guo Liang beside him and asked in confusion.
"You tell him what happened."
Zhou Lin assigned a student to explain what had happened.
The student started talking, explaining the whole story to them.
Zhou Lin walked ahead, leading everyone out of the tomb, with the student's voice behind him.
"You all woke up, why didn't we?"
Samir, hearing this, looked at the student with dissatisfaction.
They didn't have to suffer like this, so why were their bodies aching so much in the end?
"Oh, Professor, don't you think about it? What kind of relationship do you and Professor Zhou Lin have? Even if you didn't have a relationship, there's a history of national and personal grudges. To put it mildly, you two have a feud."
"I think it's normal not to save you. Don't dwell on this matter."
The student's sharp retort left Samir stunned.
"Pfft..."
Captain Bai and the metaphysics professor couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing the student's words.
Zhou Lin thought that this student might not be good at anything else, but his eloquence was truly impressive. Was this the legendary "mouthpiece"?
In the live broadcast room.
"What does Great Xia mean by this? What are they saying?"
"Exactly. You just want to watch us suffer. Are you even human?"
"Oh my god, how shameless can you be? Isn't what our student said true? I think he's right."
"Yes, what he said is very accurate, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's the truth."
"Haha, I can't stop laughing. If you don't have this much awareness, how can you get by?"
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin walked forward. The stone wall that had blocked their path before had disappeared.
It was still a long stone path, and at the end of the path, a stone door appeared before their eyes. This stone door was at least three to five meters high.
This three to five meter stone door looked like it weighed at least a ton.
Everyone's gaze fell on Zhou Lin.
He was still the strongest among them. If he could deal with the "dragon-slaying stone," he could certainly handle this stone door.
Seeing this, Zhou Lin, under everyone's expectant gaze, raised his foot and kicked it hard.
Clang...
The stone door was opened, and several black figures emerged from inside. They were extremely fast and disappeared in an instant.
Zhou Lin even felt like he was seeing things.
"What's wrong? Is it dangerous?"
The metaphysics professor asked in confusion as Zhou Lin stopped moving.
"It's nothing. Let's go."
Zhou Lin glanced back at the area behind him. Seeing nothing unusual, he led everyone inside.
As soon as Zhou Lin stepped inside, the room was instantly illuminated.
The surroundings were clearly illuminated.
Before them stood a one-meter-tall jade coral tree, with bells hanging from it. Below it was a treasure basin filled with various gems and gold and silver ornaments.
On the walls were palace lanterns made of jade, emitting a soft glow.
There was also lamp oil inside.
"Wow, this jade coral tree looks priceless! And could this thing have bought several cities in ancient times?"
