If it hadn't been for Xiao Liang speaking up in time, Jiang Yongguang would have already grabbed the Suanni and twisted it in the opposite direction. After all, according to human thinking habits, if twisting to the left was wrong, then twisting to the right must be correct.

But Xiao Liang didn't think so. She cautiously said, "The mechanisms are dangerous. Even a slight mistake can be fatal. Officer Jiang, better safe than sorry."

Uncle Mei also agreed, "Dayong, Xiao Liang is right. You'd better plug those three holes again."

Jiang Yongguang nodded with a smile, "Alright, I'll listen to advice and eat my fill. I'll listen to you."

With that, he bent down, picked up the hemp rope from the ground, and plugged the three holes again.

Facts proved that Xiao Liang's reminder saved Jiang Yongguang's life this time. It was a good thing Jiang Yongguang didn't immediately twist the Suanni, but stopped to plug the holes.

Because when he twisted the Suanni to the right, the stone door didn't open. The tomb guardian beast made three more "poof, poof, poof" sounds from inside, and then the hemp ropes plugging the three holes on the Suanni were ejected again.

Looking down, three more crossbow bolts had fallen out of the three holes!

"Fuck!"

Jiang Yongguang was dumbfounded now, and cursed in anger and frustration,

"The bastard who designed this tomb is too insidious! Shooting arrows when you twist to the left, and shooting arrows when you twist to the right. He's not leaving anyone a way out!"

Lao Wei said with a wry smile, "After all, this mechanism was designed for tomb robbers. It's definitely merciless when dealing with tomb robbers."

Jiang Yongguang was scared into a cold sweat by this thing. After all, he almost died at the hands of this Suanni. He glanced at it and asked, "So what do we do next? Which way should I twist it?"

Xiao Liang pointed to the tomb guardian beast and asked, "See if you can twist it any further?"

Jiang Yongguang immediately grabbed the Suanni. Just as he was about to twist it, Xiao Liang quickly reminded him, "Wait! Plug the holes before you twist!"

Jiang Yongguang slapped his forehead and said, "Right, I almost forgot. The guy who designed this tomb is definitely a sly old fox. It might shoot arrows again if I twist it."

With that, he picked up the hemp rope from the ground and plugged the three holes on the Suanni's head for the third time. Then he forcefully twisted it to the right, turning the tomb guardian beast so that its back was facing us and it was facing the stone door.

This time, it finally didn't shoot out any more crossbow bolts. Instead, the stone door in front of us slowly opened with a rumbling sound. We all breathed a sigh of relief. So that's how the stone door was opened.

"We finally opened this door. The Ming tomb is indeed dangerous, every step is fraught with peril!" Lao Wei said with emotion.

Jiang Yongguang also said with lingering fear, "Yeah, there are traps everywhere. Everyone must not relax their vigilance. There might be some insidious traps behind this stone door."

Hearing him say this, I quickly looked behind the stone door. But after scanning with my headlamp, I didn't find any traps or mechanisms. Instead, I saw a dazzling light.

How should I describe this light?

I haven't read much, so I don't know too many idioms, but the moment I saw this light, an idiom popped into my head – radiant with jewels!

That's right, radiant with jewels!

Behind the stone door, it was clear that there were a lot of treasures hidden!

Among us, Jiang Yongguang was still walking in the front, with Lao Wei close behind.

As soon as these two people walked through the stone door, I heard them exclaim in surprise.

"Fuck!"

"Damn!"

Xiao Liang asked with a curious expression, "What's wrong? What's inside?"

Uncle Mei was smart and said in a low voice, "Judging by the sound, they must have found treasure, right?"

We quickly followed them in, and then looked up.

Behind the stone door was a spacious burial chamber. The area of the burial chamber was much larger than the burial chamber above where the Seven Stars Coffin of Doubt was placed.

In the center of the burial chamber, a stone bed was built with bluestone bricks. On the stone bed was a coffin, which was likely the coffin of the tomb owner.

And around the stone bed were placed all kinds of burial goods, large and small!

There were so many of these burial goods, and the variety was rich and dazzling, it was simply dizzying.

I just took a look and saw wooden and bronze furniture, gold and silver jewelry, all kinds of ornaments, as well as bright red and green, embroidered clothes, and all kinds of porcelain, lacquerware, and so on. There were countless items.

What was even more exaggerated was that next to the stone bed were four large wooden boxes painted in vermilion. The wooden boxes had already been opened, and inside they were filled with gold ingots about six or seven centimeters long, two or three centimeters wide, and four or five centimeters thick!

Although these gold ingots had lost their luster after a century of wind and frost, they could still emit a golden light under the illumination of the headlamp!

As soon as I saw these boxes of gold ingots, my eyes lit up!

I'm not lying to you, the charm of gold is something that ordinary currency can't compare with at all.

I wasn't so excited when Jiang Yongguang gave me ten thousand yuan in cash, and I wasn't so excited when Uncle Mei gave me a savings book of two hundred and thirty thousand yuan.

Only when I saw four big boxes of glittering gold ingots with my own eyes did I get so excited. At that time, I only felt my heart pounding wildly, all the way to my throat!

I even suspected that I was drooling!

Looking back, Xiao Liang and Uncle Mei were about the same, both of them staring straight at the four boxes of gold ingots!

Uncle Mei said with a trembling voice, "Goodness! So much gold and silver! Whose tomb is this, anyway?"

Xiao Liang also said in shock, "Four big boxes of gold ingots… how much are these worth?"

Although Jiang Yongguang had seen many big scenes, he was also shocked by the gold in front of him.

He couldn't help joking with a smile, "Damn, there's so much gold, the temptation is too great, it makes me want to become a tomb robber."

Lao Wei quickly said, "Dayong, you can't betray the organization, you must stick to your principles."

"Of course, I was just kidding." Jiang Yongguang quickly assured.

As he spoke, he picked up a gold ingot from the box and took a practiced look at the bottom of the gold ingot.

He saw a line of small characters engraved on it. Jiang Yongguang read to us,

"Yongle, seventh year, April, something something something… can't see clearly. Eighty percent purity gold ingot, fifty taels in weight."

Lao Wei clicked his tongue after listening, "Good heavens, one ingot weighs fifty taels, then how many are there in these four boxes? I'm afraid there are thousands of taels?"

Jiang Yongguang nodded and said, "About that."

At this moment, Xiao Liang suddenly raised a question. She tilted her head and asked suspiciously, "Huh? That's not right. The upper burial chamber was swept clean by Yang Guo and the others. How come this lower, even richer burial chamber, wasn't swept clean by them?"

When Jiang Yongguang and Lao Wei heard this, they also felt strange.

"That's right, logically speaking, Yang Guo and the others must have entered this burial chamber. With the style of tomb robbers, they would definitely take these good treasures out with them. Why would they leave the treasures behind?"

I looked around and suddenly saw that many of the burial goods in the southwest and northwest corners of the burial chamber were lying messily on the ground, and some very valuable porcelain and jade items were even smashed to pieces.

There were two possible causes for such damage – one was that there had been a violent earthquake here, causing damage to the burial goods, and the other was that tomb robbers had fought here, accidentally injuring these cultural relics.

I quickly learned the correct reason, because when I walked over there, I found a corpse among the fragments of porcelain.

A corpse that had not been dead for long.
