Without thinking twice, he gathered his strength and shouted in a deep voice:
"Please hear me out!"
Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at Li Xingyun in confusion.
"Qianling Mausoleum is riddled with traps and dangers; please do not..."
Before Li Xingyun could finish speaking, the crowd began to shout:
"Nonsense! If it weren't dangerous, would it be called the Dragon Spring Treasure?"
"You piece of trash, you clearly want to monopolize the Longquan treasure, why are you pretending to be a good guy?"
"Shut up or I'll tear your stinking mouth apart!"
No one believed that Li Xingyun genuinely didn't want to see them die in Qianling.
They all thought Li Xingyun was trying to scare them away so he could take all the Longquan treasure for himself.
Many people have already drawn their swords and are about to attack Li Xingyun.
Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.
They stared at Li Xingyun with menacing glints in their eyes.
Fortunately, Wen Tao activated the mechanism beneath the blank stele, drawing everyone's attention.
Li Xingyun thus escaped a calamity.
He sighed, feeling no more pity for these people who were blinded by the Longquan treasure, and finally understood what Qin Chuan meant by what he had just said.
The wordless stele slowly moved, revealing a dark entrance.
Those people rushed into the mouth like swarms, fearing that if they were a moment too late, the Longquan treasure would be taken away by others.
But they soon discovered that there was another huge bronze door inside.
The door is decorated with dragon and phoenix carvings, and a sword-shaped notch is particularly eye-catching.
Clearly, only the Longquan sword can open this bronze door.
Everyone had no choice but to stand still and wait for Qin Chuan to arrive.
They didn't dare to snatch the Longquan Sword from Qin Chuan.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Qin Chuan strode over and placed the Longquan Sword at the notch.
The bronze door slowly opened, revealing a long, narrow passage before everyone's eyes.
"The Longquan treasure is mine!"
At this point, everyone could no longer contain themselves and rushed into the passage.
"Everyone stay close to me, or we'll be in trouble if we trigger any of the mechanisms in the tomb."
Wen Tao, being a professional, was much more cautious.
He led the way, guiding Qin Chuan and his group deeper into the Qianling Mausoleum.
Along the way, screams could be heard from time to time, and corpses were everywhere.
Most of these people were tricked by traps, some were assassinated, and some even died together with others.
The wickedness of human nature is vividly displayed in the underground palace of Qianling Mausoleum.
At the end of the passage was a huge stone chamber.
As far as the eye can see, there are solemn and dignified funerary statues.
Upon arriving here, the original hundreds of people had dwindled to just a few dozen.
These people were all still shaken.
Even after learning about the many traps and mechanisms in the Qianling Mausoleum's underground palace, they still did not give up.
Instead, they cleverly waited for Qin Chuan and his group to arrive, preparing to follow behind them and outmaneuver them.
Qin Chuan didn't seem to care much, and even took the initiative to walk alongside Wen Tao at the front, constantly moving through the sculpture.
Suddenly, Wen Tao stopped in his tracks and said with utmost seriousness:
"This underground palace is strange, everyone must not separate."
After robbing tombs for so many years, this was the first time he had encountered a situation where the compass malfunctioned and there was no "Life Gate" or "Death Gate" among the Eight Gates.
"What is this? It's so beautiful!"
Shangguan Yunque spotted a flying insect that was glowing all over.
He was about to reach out to touch it when Wen Tao quickly stopped him and sternly reprimanded him:
"Don't touch it! This insect is of unknown origin, and it must be highly poisonous!"
"Stop making things up. This is our Raojiang's guiding firefly, specially used for leading the way! In crucial moments, we'll still have to rely on my methods, right? Little brother, aren't I amazing?"
Chi Meng stood with her hands on her hips, a hint of smugness in her expression.
Wen Tao felt awkward and could only cough slightly to cover it up.
Qin Chuan patted him on the shoulder and gave Chi Meng a thumbs up, praising her generously.
With Chi Meng's guidance, the group quickly emerged from the sculpture group and arrived at the bottom of the steps.
At the top of the stairs stands a magnificent palace.
If there really is a treasure trove of dragon springs in Qianling Mausoleum, it must be there.
The remaining dozens of people, overcome by greed, all rushed toward the palace.
But at that moment, strange noises began to ring out from all around.
A swarm of tomb-guarding corpse worms suddenly appeared from nowhere, engulfing dozens of people like a tide.
A series of piercing screams echoed through the Qianling Mausoleum, before quickly fading into silence.
The remains of those dozens of people also disappeared along with them.
They all met a tragic end, their bodies torn to pieces.
At this point, apart from Qin Chuan and his group, all those who entered the Qianling Mausoleum underground palace were wiped out.
Li Xingyun and the others were horrified and drenched in sweat.
Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant, let alone these tomb-guarding worms.
Everyone, including Li Xingyun, subconsciously looked at Qin Chuan, placing all their hopes on him.
Qin Chuan did not disappoint them. With a stomp of his foot, he unleashed terrifying true energy, sweeping away all the tomb-guarding corpse worms covering the ground.
"You're really amazing..."
Li Xingyun exclaimed in amazement.
Qin Chuan ignored him and strode towards the palace.
Chapter 79: A Battleground Between the Two Wives!
Qianling was originally the mausoleum of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, and Empress Wu Zetian.
So when Qin Chuan and his group stepped into that magnificent palace, the first thing they saw was the coffin of the husband and wife emperors.
Li Xingyun knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times and nine times to pay respects to his two ancestors.
Qin Chuan and the others also bowed slightly to show their respect for the deceased.
After the worship ceremony, everyone's eyes fell on the dragon throne between the two coffins.
In the very center of the dragon throne, there was a brocade box.
This is the Longquan Treasure Box.
It contains the key clues to finding the Longquan Treasure.
Qin Chuan called out to Li Xingyun, who was reaching for the Longquan treasure.
"You want it?"
Li Xingyun looked at Qin Chuan with a subtle expression.
Is this guy about to reveal his ambitions?
"I just didn't want to get dragged down by your reckless behavior."
As Qin Chuan spoke, he nodded to Wen Tao, signaling him to inspect the dragon throne.
In the original timeline, after Zhu Youwen obtained the Longquan Treasure Box, he directly triggered the self-destruct mechanism of the Qianling Mausoleum.
If he hadn't called out to Li Xingyun, Qianling would have ended up in the same state.
"There's a mechanism under the dragon throne; it will be triggered immediately if the Dragon Spring Treasure Box is moved!"
After examining the area, Wen Tao indeed discovered something amiss.
The most terrifying thing about government agencies is that they are impossible to guard against.
Once the mechanism is found, its threat level will be greatly reduced.
After fiddling with it for a while, Wen Tao solved the puzzle.
Just in case, he checked it several times before bowing to Qin Chuan.
"It's okay, but don't open the Dragon Spring Treasure Box. It contains the Raojiang Sacred Gu, which will cause hallucinations and lead to suicide."
Qin Chuan added another instruction.
Upon hearing this, Li Xingyun quickly tossed the Longquan Treasure Box to Qin Chuan.
He had no interest in the Longquan Box or the Longquan Treasure.
It was just pure curiosity.
Now that they hear how dangerous the Longquan Treasure Box is, they naturally don't want to touch it at all.
"How come you know everything?"
Li Xingyun watched suspiciously as Qin Chuan put away the Longquan Treasure Box.
