Chapter 546: Chapter 36 You’re overthinking it

Last but not least, archaeologists, in combination with Feng Shui masters, Tomb Raiders, fortune-tellers, and other individuals proficient in special numerology, managed to excavate the entire tombstone.

"If we can’t break through, we can only be trapped here. This should be a place over eight hundred meters underground, so it’s not easy for people above to come and save us," Mu Fei looked at the stone gate with a serious expression.

Moreover, now with a lack of personnel, how could the troops spare people to come rescue them?

Or perhaps, everyone thinks they’re dead and won’t come to save them.

Gu Xiaoxi held the flashlight in silence for a moment, and had to admit that Mu Fei’s analysis made sense.

She couldn’t lead everyone to sit and await death either.

She wanted to see what surprises this Ancient Tomb held.

"Can you understand the writing on it?" Shao Changfeng asked, holding a flashlight and looking at the ancient text carved on Stone Gate Mountain.

The other villagers also curiously gathered around the stone gate to look.

They all shook their heads.

Mu Fei immediately felt his importance and coughed confidently, moving closer to the stone gate to scrutinize the inscriptions more carefully.

After a moment, he cleared his throat and said, "It says here, ’I look forward to our mutual understanding, this heart will never wane.’

Gu Xiaoxi slightly furrowed her brows and then spoke in a leisurely tone, "I think it should be, ’I wish to share an understanding with you, so our lives may never end in decay.’

Although Gu Xiaoxi didn’t know why she could understand the writing, when she looked at it, a translation naturally came to her mind.

This feeling was truly marvelous!

Mu Fei, however, suddenly clapped his hands in praise, exclaiming, "Right! No wonder my translation had an extra word. Yours is definitely more accurate. Xiao Xi, do you know ancient text?"

Gu Xiaoxi quickly shook her head, explaining, "I guessed based on your translation!"

But in fact, didn’t she have a feeling of familiarity with the text before her eyes?

Could it be because she had seen the scroll before? But the script on the scroll was different from this!

Mu Fei nodded and gave Gu Xiaoxi a few more glances, "I didn’t expect you to have such literary grace. This tomb was constructed two thousand years ago, this butterfly symbol should belong to Dalan Ancient Kingdom of that time."

"How can you be sure that this is the Dalan Ancient Kingdom from two thousand years ago?" Gu Xiaoxi countered.

"I’ve read ancient texts on the dynasties throughout history. Among them, the butterfly symbol belongs to Dalan, said to have always been ruled by an empress. Its prosperity was on a level with the thriving Tang Dynasty," Mu Fei said with a tone full of confidence.

Gu Xiaoxi sized up the stone gate, filled with nothing but curiosity.

Treasure, ah!

With the scale of what lay underground and the imposing air of the stone gate,

since it was from the prosperous Dalan Ancient Kingdom that could rival the Tang Dynasty, the treasures inside must be plentiful.

Frankly speaking, she was tempted.

What’s more, they were currently standing in this ten-square-meter area, and it wasn’t practical to keep waiting indefinitely.

"Combining the meaning of the poetry, you might be right," Gu Xiaoxi said. This must certainly be a poem a woman wrote to the man she loved.

"Since there’s a way out, why not just push this door open?" one of the villagers said.

Mu Fei shook his head, "Pushing it open is not a problem, but I’m afraid of what strange things may lie within."

"Aren’t you a Tomb Raider?" Zhao Zilong stared at him. Then, with a raised brow, he asked, "Or are you a fake one?"

"Don’t try to provoke me. A Tomb Raider always acts with tools. Now, in order to escape, all my gear has been buried underground. I’m merely a bare pole commander now, and I dare not act recklessly with you all. If there’s danger, I won’t be able to justify it," Mu Fei said seriously.

"So what’s the use of saying all this if you can’t provide any help?" the villager said, clearly annoyed.

"It’s not useless! We must proceed slowly; we can’t rush, you understand?"

Gu Xiaoxi, listening to Mu Fei’s explanation, stroked her chin, figuring that she wasn’t afraid of anything.

The Underworld, the Immortal Realm, she had been to them all.

Would she be afraid of an Ancient Tomb from two thousand years ago?

"Everyone, don’t rush. Mu Fei, take a look to see if there’s a mechanism on this door. If there isn’t, then I’ll push it open," Gu Xiaoxi said.

Mu Fei gestured, telling everyone, "Back off a bit, let me check the situation first!"

So, Gu Xiaoxi and Zhao Zilong, among others, moved back to the water’s edge.

Gu Xiaoxi scooped up some water, thinking of washing her face.

Shao Changfeng kept his eyes on Mu Fei examining the stone gate from a distance, clearly interested in this Qimen Dunjia.

"Gu Xiaoxi, I’m feeling uneasy. Do you think a zombie might pop out of here?" Zhao Zilong asked seriously.

"You’re overthinking! Look at this place, it’s not ordinary at all. Especially this rock, which even an earthquake of magnitude eight couldn’t topple, and the stone at the entrance of the tomb remains unscathed. This indicates it’s not a commonplace. A normal emperor wouldn’t want to become a zombie after death. Moreover, this is the romantic and poetic empress," Gu Xiaoxi said.

It was just her own speculation, and nothing could be said with certainty.

What if a zombie did appear?

Gu Xiaoxi shivered at the thought!

It shouldn’t be this unlucky, right?

Over the years, she hadn’t heard of the existence of zombies in this world.

Gu Xiaoxi sat by the water’s edge and upon further reflection, if the Blood Clan existed in the West, could there be zombies in the East?

She immediately got goosebumps and told herself not to let her imagination run wild.

On hearing Gu Xiaoxi’s words, Zhao Zilong felt much more relieved.
