A few days later, the poplar iron ox and the red apricot brought more than 20 archaeological team members and a few armed police soldiers to the Wang Jiutang tomb again.

The boulder still flipped on its side and was not replaced.

But the last time Poplar and the others left, they once again covered the entrance of the tomb with branches and dirt, and now the branches and dirt have been lifted aside, revealing the round tomb hole.

Poplar immediately understood that someone must have been to the tomb in the past few days, and it was likely to be the group of seven brothers who did not give up.

The archaeological team members talked a lot, wondering if the artifacts in the tomb had been destroyed.

Only Bai Yang and the other three were very confident that those people would never be able to break through the undestroyed checkpoints and enter the main burial chamber where the cultural relics were stored.

Sure enough, after going down to the tomb, they found a few more charred corpses on the ground, and it is estimated that this group of people, whether it is the Seven Brothers Gang or not, can't even break through this Nine Palace Bagua Formation, so they can only leave with hatred, and they don't even bother to cover the entrance of the tomb with branches and soil.

And in fact, even Ouyang Qi can't crack this Nine Palace Bagua Formation, and the only person in this world who can crack this array may be the Red Gate Master alone.

And because the charred corpses were piled up under the entrance of the tomb, Poplar could only ask the people above to hang all the charred corpses first, so as not to have nowhere to stay for those who came down.

After that, the archaeological team members came down one after another, and followed the leading poplar through the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation.

Because he was frightened by the scorched corpses before, no one dared to take a wrong step.

However, Bai Yang saw that there were two students who might have just graduated, and he showed a little disapproval, so after the archaeological team members all passed through the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation safely, Bai Yang asked everyone to retreat into the latter passage as much as possible, and he threw an unused tool into the Nine Palaces Bagua Transformation Formation.

Instantaneous flames erupted, not only from the rooftops, but also from the ground.

But there were no cracks or holes in the ground, and I didn't know where the flames came from.

All the archaeologists were frightened, especially the two young people who were not convinced, probably thinking about what the consequences would be if they didn't go to find them in strict accordance with Bai Yang's requirements, and couldn't help but turn pale and chill all over.

Needless to say, the most dangerous experience in the tomb was the murderous stone steps.

You must know that Chen Baitong's martial arts are strong, and Ouyang Qi died on the stone steps with him, most of these archaeologists have not practiced martial arts at all, and it is impossible for them to go on safely.

Therefore, before the team set off, Bai Yang had carefully discussed this matter with Ding Sicheng, and Ding Sicheng finally found the relevant unit to call two mechanical experts, and these two mechanical experts brought two relatively light machinery.

These two machines were naturally carried by Bai Yang and Tie Niu through the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation, until they came to the murderous stone steps.

After several tests, the two mechanics determined that they could use the same vibrating machine they had brought to destroy the hidden mechanisms in the walls on both sides of the stone steps, so that people could walk on it and no longer have sharp weapons to pierce them.

The next few checkpoints were all solved by Poplar first, and then the archaeologists were relieved to enter, and there would be no danger of self-heating.

And after seeing the countless treasures in the main tomb, all the archaeologists couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Bai Yang repeatedly explained that he must not go to the coffin, but he was afraid that these nerds would be excited and forget the danger, so everyone was buried alive in the tomb, so he could only stand around the white marble round floor tiles in the center of the tomb with Tie Niu Hongxing, always reminding the archaeologists not to approach.

There are armed police soldiers guarding the entrance of the tomb on the top, and the archaeologists are assured that they will boldly pack a piece of rare treasures carefully, but there is no way to remove all those exquisite murals, and the archaeological team members can only stand in front of the four walls, observing and discussing in twos and threes.

As a result, after a delay of four or five hours in the tomb, the archaeological team members still lingered, as if they could not even feel hunger and thirst.

Baiyang had no choice but to discuss with a few leading middle-aged scholars, saying that this tomb was too evil to stay for a long time, so these people reluctantly retreated.

When everyone came out of the mouth of the tomb and the other archaeologists sat down to eat, one of the armed police soldiers called Baiyang over, pointed to a bush and said, "When you came the first two times, did you see such a big footprint here?"

Poplar looked down, and sure enough, among the grass, there was a very clear footprint.

The ground around the entrance to the tomb is so hard that it is impossible to leave any footprints, but the grass may have insects that burrow into the ground such as earthworms, so the ground is relatively loose, which leaves such a clear footprint.

But it must not be the footprints of ordinary people, or ordinary animals, otherwise it would not have attracted so much attention from several armed police soldiers.

The footprints are very similar to human feet, but they are much larger than human feet, and if they are human footprints, then this person is only afraid that they will be more than three meters.

And such a tall person, there is no such thing in this world.

"How can there be such a big footprint?" Poplar was also full of doubts, "I'm sorry, after all, we are just archaeologists, not as vigilant as a few soldiers, so the first two times, we didn't think to take a look around!"

He was really ashamed. The last time he came, he found that the boulder had been moved back to its original position, and he just walked around casually, and he didn't turn it carefully, so that he couldn't be sure whether this huge footprint was left before that, or whether it was only in the past two days.

"Old Bai, don't you think that these footprints are about the same size as the two footprints on the front side of the boulder at the entrance of the tomb......? Those two footprints were originally designed according to this huge footprint?" said Iron Bull.

Poplar's heart suddenly moved.

Indeed, this footprint was about the same size as the two huge footprints at the entrance of the tomb, and even the shape was not much different.

For example, the forefoot of the two footprints at the entrance of the tomb is much wider than the heel, especially the toes, which radiate outward almost outwards to form a fan shape.

Ordinary people's feet will not be shaped like this, but the same is true of this big footprint in front of you.

But Poplar didn't think that the two footprints at the entrance of the tomb were really designed according to the footprints in front of him, as Tie Niu said.

After all, the footprints in front of me are so clear, they must have stayed here recently.

The two large footprints at the entrance of the tomb were designed thousands of years ago. Unless the person who left the big footprints in front of him is also immortal, the two footprints at the entrance of the tomb can never be designed according to the footprints of this person.

So, is it possible that a thousand years ago there was a strong man with a pair of giant feet, and it was this strong man who moved a boulder to block the entrance to the tomb?

And today, thousands of years later, there is such a strong man, and he is also born with a pair of giant feet, and the previous boulder was moved back to its original position, which is exactly what this strong man did?

Poplar's heart was full of doubts, but unfortunately when they came the second time, the tomb entrance was full of branches and dirt that they had covered the tomb entrance before, and he had not thought about it at that time, he had to carefully survey the scene, otherwise he might find one or two oversized footprints on the floating soil.

But now it's too late to regret it, and Poplar can only let Hongxing take out her camera, take a few photos of the big footprints, and study it slowly when she goes back.

After that, Poplar discussed with Tie Niu Hongxing whether to move the boulder over and press the entrance of the cave.

In this way, it can prevent random people from going down to the tomb to trigger the mechanism, causing repeated tragedies; second, Wang Jiutang is a strange man after all, if the entrance of his tomb is always open like this, it will also be an insult to this strange man.

Moreover, although the mechanisms in his tomb are strange and incredible, each mechanism has room for it, as long as you have enough skills, you can get through it safely.

That's just like what the Red Gate Lord said, Wang Jiutang designed these mechanisms, perhaps not to kill the tomb enterers, but just to show his ingenuity to future generations.

Even a few of the mechanisms in it made Poplar feel very instructive. In particular, the mechanism that tested the swordsmanship not only brought Bai Yang's swordsmanship to a new level, but also made Bai Yang spy on a new realm of martial arts. So from the heart of Bai Yang, he actually has a lot of respect for Wang Jiutang.

Iron Bull and Red Apricot seemed to be not too far from Poplar's idea, so Poplar mentioned it to them, and both of them agreed.

The boulder weighed more than 2,000 catties, and it was still impossible to lift it directly with the combined efforts of the two poplars and iron oxen. But it is not too difficult to roll the boulder down the ground to the position at the entrance of the tomb.

But fearing that in the process of rolling the boulder, if the mechanism was touched and the entire tomb entrance collapsed, Poplar and Iron Bull beckoned everyone else to go away.

When the crowd heard that the two of them were going to move the boulder to the entrance of the tomb, they couldn't help but look at each other, and no one believed that the two of them could do such an almost miraculous thing.

Poplar Tie Niu didn't say much, and after everyone barely managed to stay away, the two of them worked together to lift the boulder above the tomb.

Fortunately, it did not cause a large-scale collapse of the tomb entrance, but with the strength of the two of them, they could not return the boulder to its original position, so they could only let the boulder crookedly and barely suppress the tomb entrance.

It can be seen from this that the people who moved the boulder before, no matter how many people worked together, the strength of these people would not be below them, or even far beyond them.

But even so, everyone, including several armed police soldiers, was still stunned.

Several armed police soldiers came over and tried it, but several people worked together and failed to move the boulder slightly.

Listening to the admiration of the others, Poplar was thinking in his heart: Who was the one who moved the boulder before? Is it the one who left the big footprint?

If so, why did this person have such a big footprint? and why did this person's footprints be exactly the same as the footprints designed by Wang Jiutang thousands of years ago?
