"No, it's just that the sound is terrifying, isn't it? It's a tomb, but it's as lively as a marketplace."
"We'll know when we take a look later."
...
Dean's conference room.
The experts and professors' expressions changed slightly upon hearing the sound.
"This scene is very similar to the journal left behind by the deceased professor before his death."
Professor Wen recalled a tomb he had visited more than ten years ago. Inside, there was a journal left by a professor before his death, describing the scene he saw. Could this be it?
Then what would be inside? Why did that professor die tragically, yet they found nothing when they went there?
"At that time, the professor called it 'Xi Feng Shou Ma' (Lean Horse of the West Wind), but I don't quite understand why he had such a nickname."
The dean also remembered this matter, but they still didn't understand how this thing came to be.
Thinking about it now still sent shivers down their spines. The professor's death was truly tragic, his remains could almost be described as beyond human suffering.
The scene at that time would have caused nightmares for anyone who saw it. It was said that several members of the archaeological team were even scared unconscious.
"Let's not rush. We'll know in a moment. Zhou Lin is so capable, perhaps he can resolve this matter. If even Zhou Lin can't, then probably no one can."
The metaphysics professor hurriedly said after hearing their words.
"That's right, we just need to wait."
Another professor agreed after hearing this.
They were extremely curious about this 'Xi Feng Shou Ma'.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin glanced back. The students, professors from the archaeological team, and security personnel behind him all looked pale as they stared ahead.
They seemed to be very afraid of this thing.
"Don't be scared. We'll know when we go take a look. Right, Brother Wolf King?"
Zhou Lin smiled gently at the Wolf King and then asked.
The Wolf King felt a little uneasy but still nodded firmly, cheering himself on inwardly.
The Daoist, historian, and biologist had been very nervous before, but seeing Zhou Lin's demeanor, they felt a wave of speechlessness.
Did he think everyone was like him? Fearless of anything.
But these words were not spoken.
"Tang..."
Zhou Lin was about to call out to Elder Tang, but Elder Tang, knowing what Zhou Lin was about to say, instinctively interrupted.
"Well, since Zhou Lin told everyone not to be scared, then everyone should follow young friend Zhou Lin and not be afraid."
Elder Tang said quickly.
The students and security personnel behind them eagerly agreed.
Zhou Lin's mouth twitched. He gave Elder Tang one last look and said nothing, leading everyone inside.
Ten minutes later.
The end was in sight, with some light emanating from it, and the sounds were even stronger than before.
Upon reaching the other side of the end, the entire marketplace was lined with people. They were dressed in coarse cloth, their black hair tied up, and they kept looking up expectantly.
As if waiting for something.
Ancient buildings surrounded them, mostly with flat roofs. The vendors selling miscellaneous goods on the street had also stopped their calls, all waiting for something.
Zhou Lin and the other participants, along with the archaeological team and the others, were stunned at first, then looked with great curiosity at what the common people were looking at.
In the live broadcast room.
"Holy crap, what's going on? I'd already prepared myself mentally and was eager to know what was inside, but I never expected it to be like this."
"No, how can there be such a scene of people living and working in peace here? And what's with these people?"
"Are they people? Could they be ghosts?"
"That shouldn't be right. Where is the light coming from inside? The clothes they are wearing are very thin, and they look like it's summer."
...
Inside the tomb.
As everyone slowly walked towards the back of the crowd, they heard the sound of gongs and drums. A group of people dressed in black and red clothing emerged from the distance.
They were slowly approaching their location.
"What's going on? Is this an ancient wedding procession?"
Professor Lin whispered to Elder Tang, looking at him uncertainly.
"This is a wedding ceremony from the Qin Dynasty, but the ceremony is not complete. They only bring the bride back and then have the wedding banquet, but there was no sedan chair at that time."
Elder Tang said with great certainty.
"But now it's... who is getting married? If it were the First Emperor, it wouldn't be like this. It should be a nationwide celebration."
The historian also added.
"This..."
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, and the professors behind them were all filled with curiosity.
The biologist, Wolf King, Daoist, gymnastics champion, architecture champion, and Olympic champion only showed curiosity upon seeing this and didn't have many thoughts.
"Hey, if you want to know, why not just ask?"
Zhou Lin heard this and said indifferently.
"Ah? Ask? Ask who?"
Elder Tang and Professor Lin were a bit bewildered. Could you actually ask about this?
Ask whom?
"Heh heh, Elder Tang, one hundred thousand, how about it? I'll find out for you."
Zhou Lin directly held up ten fingers, smiling at them.
Elder Tang's mouth twitched. This kid was really something, always talking about money.
"Young friend Zhou Lin, well, let's think about how we're going to get out later."
Elder Tang was now powerless. If they continued with this method of asking for money, they would truly be begging for food.
Zhou Lin knew that this method of asking for money was hopeless.
"Elder Tang, if we don't go and see, we won't be able to leave."
Zhou Lin said with a smile.
Professor Lin's entire body stiffened upon hearing this.
If that was the case, they would have to pay.
"Alright then, we will apply to the higher-ups. But how are you going to ask? And how can we leave here?"
Elder Tang looked at Zhou Lin and finally had to agree.
"Elder Tang, I'll give you a discount this time, just one hundred thousand yuan. No matter what happens, there will be no additional charges. How about that? Isn't that very good to you?"
Zhou Lin playfully looked at Elder Tang and the others.
Elder Tang didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this moment. How much money had already been spent? And now he was saying it was good to him?
"Fellow Daoist Zhou Lin, how do we ask?"
The Daoist was very concerned about this matter.
"Simple, you watch."
Zhou Lin then waved his hand, indicating for them to follow him.
The security personnel behind them, seeing the situation, kept their weapons held in front of them, constantly observing their surroundings and remaining vigilant.
"Excuse me, big brother... May I ask what's happening?"
Zhou Lin's question made everyone's jaws drop.
