  The door ring was a circle, with a black pattern in the middle that resembled a dragon but wasn't quite one. The creature's head and tail were coiled together in a circle, connected at the end. From just looking at its head, it somewhat resembled an ox, but the horns on its head were exaggeratedly large and seemed to be those of a dragon. Its body was long and slender, without any limbs. This pattern wasn't appearing for the first time in Ye Qiu's mind; he had seen it somewhere else before.

  The underground world of Rome is a huge treasure trove, where the Romans of all dynasties are responsible for collecting the most mysterious objects in this world. If the Forbidden City is said to be the museum with the most treasures, it's probably just on the surface. Compared to the underground palace of Rome, the Forbidden City is indeed small magic seeing big magic. However, even in Rome, the underground palace belongs to the forbidden area, and few people can enter the Roman underground palace to see its true face, but Ye Qiu happens to be one of them.

  The entire underground palace has three layers, almost hollowing out the surrounding mountain body. It is said to be built according to the standard of withstanding nuclear strikes. The third layer of the underground palace is the most mysterious, and the opening of the underground palace uses the pattern he saw today. Ye Qiu had never been down to the third layer before, although he was silent, but he wasn't stupid, listening to people there say that the third layer of the underground palace didn't hold objects or gold and silver, but some of the most dangerous existences, what they were exactly is unknown.

  As soon as people see this sign, it's like ordinary people seeing a skull and crossbones, representing danger, representing fear.

  Unfortunately, Baozi is not a person who gives up easily, and now Ye Qiu has risked his life to get in. The treasure that seems within reach, you want him to give up? That's just not Baozi.

  "Old Two, I'm not going to be scared off by just this little thing. When I was in Xi'an, I saw many tombs with things like this inside, and some even had inscribed curse tablets placed there. People in this line of work only believe in money; if you're too timid to even touch a door ring, then you might as well give up on being in this business." What Fatso said was all true. To prevent grave robbers, the ancient Chinese people who were fond of lavish burials racked their brains, from mechanical traps and poisonous insects to curses and legends, magic and sorcery; whether it was psychological defense or physical defense, they had used every trick in the book. As the saying goes, "the higher the Tao, the higher the devil", these grave robbers thought of all sorts of ways to achieve their goals, even forming their own schools and secret methods for breaking in. Even now, China's grave-robbing world still has the legend of the Northern School and Southern School, representing the clever skill school and the clever strength school.

  Fat boy followed the tomb raider Ding family in Guanzhong, although he was the lowest in the division of labor, but his brain was clever and his memory was good. He could learn by listening and watching others do things once. This Guanzhong tomb raiding school is a representative of the Northern School, which is good at using tools, such as the Luoyang shovel, which they invented. In modern times, they have also made full use of gunpowder. Unlike the Southern School, the Northern School does not care about anything and will take everything from the ancient tomb, including the dead body, as long as it can be sold for money.

  Perhaps it was because of the difference in their experiences that Fatso did not deliberately follow Ye Qiu's intuition this time, so when he decided to go in and take a look, Ye Qiu could only remain silent.

  Beyond this gate, another corridor appears. On the ground, in addition to the mud, there are also some square stone slabs. On both sides of the corridor walls, every five steps or so, there is a tray. A woman-like sculpture holds a plate high up in her hands, while all the women's heads are broken off.

  The fatty looked at the exquisitely crafted candle holder, his hand touching the broken neck of the woman, rough and uneven. He said to Ye Qiu: "What a strange candle holder, it looks like it was cast successfully and then cut off by external force." One after another, they all had the same situation, the candle holders were already empty of oil, the blackened trays showed the copper green of years, you can imagine what it would be like if these lamps were still lit, a dim and narrow corridor at the end.

  Pangzi wanted to move forward, but Ye Qiu grabbed his sleeve again. Pangzi turned back, and Ye Qiu slowly shook her head at him.

  "What's wrong, Lao Er?"

  "Let's go back."

  "Don't be kidding, it's not easy to open that door once. Are you going to give up just like that?" The fatty pointed at the oil lamps on the corridor and said: "Look at these things, they're so luxurious and grand. I think we'll arrive at the back hall soon. We won't be greedy, let's just pick a few and leave. Really, nothing will happen."

  "Really, let's not go anymore, let's leave." Ye Qiu made another request to Pangzi, who seemed to be afraid, fearing what was ahead. Pangzi read the fear in his eyes. Could it be that Ye Qiu is actually afraid? Looking at the man's face, which was slightly pale, and the heroic aura between his eyebrows was gone, what exactly was he afraid of?

  "Alright," the fatty sighed, "Forget it, let's just go back and continue to make do with our salted vegetable buns. It's harder to get you two to follow me than to climb to heaven." As he spoke, he turned around and headed back. The two of them were now about five steps away from each other. Perhaps it was because they didn't want to give up, or perhaps it was just a release of emotions, but when the fatty turned back, he lightly patted the oil lamp on the wall with his hand. Suddenly, there was a "crack" sound, and the fatty was startled, breaking out in a cold sweat as he looked around nervously, asking, "What thing? What noise?"

  "Run!" Ye Qiu shouted, but at this moment, a loud "rumble" sound came into Fat's ears. He and Ye Qiu were close to each other, and he also saw Ye Qiu speaking to him, but Fat couldn't hear anything.

  "What?"

  Ye Qiu pulled up Pangzi and shouted "Run!" without looking back.

  Run, run desperately, the fat man only heard the sound behind him getting closer and louder. The ground was particularly slippery with yellow mud, and the space was small, making it difficult for the two men to maneuver. As Ye Qiu rushed out of the White Jade Gate, the fat man turned his head back and took a glance, then let out a cold breath and shouted: "My god, this is going to be the death of me!"

  Suddenly, a huge stone ball came out of nowhere and rolled quickly down the path towards the two men. The stone ball was similar in width to the path, and it was downhill, so its speed increased as it rolled. It's very common to encounter traps in tombs, such as oil fires, crossbow arrows, quicksand, and rolling stones like this one. Many tomb raiders have died from those ancient traps that were set thousands of years ago. As long as the design is clever enough, the triggering device can still function normally after a thousand years. It's likely that it was Fatso's own carelessness that triggered the stone ball with his slap.

  Ye Qiu's speed was indeed fast, the two of them, one in front and one behind, managed to rush out of the door with great difficulty. But once they got outside, they were stunned. The Dragon Stone was lying horizontally over there. Then, a loud "boom" sound came from inside, presumably the white jade stone door that Fatso had been worried about had already been smashed to pieces. The rumbling sound continued to move outward, and at this point, all they could do was pray.

  "One person on each side, quickly!" Ye Qiu turned around with his arms open and stuck tightly to the wall, even his face was sideways. The fat man hurriedly imitated him on the other side, this gamble relied on luck, looking at which direction the stone ball would roll out, Ye Qiu's arrangement was very reasonable, if something really happened, at least one person could still survive, as long as they were alive, there was still hope, and this outer space was much more spacious than the tunnel.

  With his eyes closed, he waited for that moment to arrive. At that moment, Fatso regretted it, but was it still possible to regret now? It was just an instant of lightning and fire, Fatso heard a loud crashing sound, followed by the "pa la" sound of flying stones, except for being splashed with small stones on his body, he seemed to be still alive...

  "Alive," the fat man slowly turned around, his headlamp sweeping across a sea of confusion, the impact sending up clouds of dust that plunged the small room into chaos. If he was fine, then what about Ye Qiu?

  "Old Two! Old Two!" The fatty hastily rushed to the other side, "Old Two, where are you? Old Two, speak up!"

  "I'm here, I'm still here..." was Ye Qiu. Pangzi heard the weakness in his voice and after a moment of searching, he found Ye Qiu leaning against the ground, clutching his left arm and panting heavily. Except for looking a bit disheveled, all his limbs were intact. Pangzi squatted down and tightly hugged him: "Haha, haha, it's great! You're really okay!"

  Later, it wasn't until the smoke dissipated that Fatso realized how close Ye Qiu had come to death. Just one step forward from where Ye Qiu was leaning against the wall, a huge boulder had smashed into the wall, creating a hole the size of a basketball. After hitting this spot, the boulder continued to roll forward in a curved path until it crashed into the guillotine rock. Ye Qiu had been hit by shrapnel from the first rebound, a wound about the length of his middle finger on his left arm, fortunately only a superficial injury that didn't damage any tendons or bones.

  Looking at the huge impact point, and then looking at the broken stone outside that had collapsed with a loud noise, the final position of the stone ball was actually at the bottom of the pit where they came in. The massive impact force shattered the thousand-pound stone gate, what kind of power can achieve this? In fact, it wasn't until later that they learned that it wasn't an ordinary stone ball at all, but a substance much harder than stone. As Cha Wenbin put it, these two men were like they had just come out of their coffins and couldn't wait to go for another walk in the underworld.

  After this ordeal, the fat man suddenly lost his mind to continue exploring inside. Looking at the "dignity" that was smashed by the stone ball, he felt a little heartbroken and a little frightened.

  Looking at him holding the bronze fragment in his hand, Ye Qiu asked: "Do you still want to go?"

  "Ah, running into this black pit is beyond my control. Either I find someone or just give up." Black pit refers to a very dangerous ancient tomb. Some old hands in the Northern School would weigh their skills when encountering such a deadly trap, and if they couldn't break through, they would usually retreat, either selling the location to someone more skilled than themselves or simply admitting defeat.

  "What a pity! This nest is definitely going to make a fortune, and my fat grandpa is really guarding a treasure chest without a key!"

  "If you really want to figure it out, go find him and ask for his help. He knows more than I do."

  "Who, you say go ask him, forget it, with his temper how would he be willing to come and help me with this, if he doesn't scold me at least that's already being lenient..."

  "It won't, believe me, he'll definitely come!"
