Chapter 356 The stone horse is the mechanism!
Rumbling--
A thunder interrupted Qin An's thoughts.
The thunder was so loud... as if it exploded three feet above people's heads!
Yang Lele and Western Region archaeologist Xu Xiuying were shocked.
After recovering from my shock.
The archaeological team members slowly looked up at the sky.
I saw large chunks of dark clouds floating over everyone's heads at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Qin An's face was solemn.
After the archaeological team had all gone down to the underground palace
He then spoke calmly, "This black cloud isn't coming for us... The Queen of Subi wanted to transform her body into a ghost mother, but Heaven and Earth wouldn't tolerate her! Previously, she hid underground, and Heaven couldn't see her, allowing her to escape.
Now the gate of the underground palace is wide open!
God wanted to strike her with lightning and drown her body with water!
So don’t be afraid, everyone!”
really.
With Qin An's comfort.
The archaeological team members finally felt relieved.
Only Hu Jizhou and Zhang Dekai still looked unhappy.
The tomb robber encountered dark clouds looming...A bolt from the blue is not a good sign!
Maybe they will all be implicated in this!
But since ancient times, shaking the morale of the army has been a taboo!
Therefore, the two of them did not expose Qin An's white lie.
However, Liu Guoqing, an archaeologist from the Western Regions, became interested: "So there's a saying in the tomb-robbing industry that God punishes the tomb owner? That's interesting!"
According to science... this is desert rain! The Taklamakan Desert experiences extreme temperature swings between day and night! When hot air masses rise from the surface and encounter cold air masses high in the sky, dark clouds form, leading to rain!
This is a good sign! Don't be afraid!"
Be reasonable!
Compared with Qin An's "punishment theory", Liu Guoqing's "scientific theory" is obviously more convincing.
But the latter only cares about science and not human heart!
Therefore, everyone is more inclined to listen to Qin An's theory of punishment rather than scientific theory.
After all, good people like to hear that God is here to punish bad people...rather than just to make it rain.
Liu Guoqing saw that everyone was not interested!
So I didn't get myself into trouble.
He took the initiative to step forward, touched the stone horse's nose and introduced:
"In the 4th century AD... the powerful Suobei Kingdom began its expansion! In the arid Taklamakan Desert, a force of a few hundred armored cavalrymen could sweep across all the ancient kingdoms of the Western Regions!
This stone horse is carved entirely from precious sand and stone!
You can tell at a glance that this is the work of the ancient Jingjue craftsmen—Huh? How could this be a mare?
Liu Guoqing's doubtful voice sounded.
The archaeological team members quickly gathered around and looked at the crotch of the stone horse.
how to say......
He is indeed a veteran artist!
This stone horse coin is carved to lifelike detail...
Yang Lele was a little puzzled and said, "It seems that there really isn't a little Jiji! But a mare is a mare! What's wrong with that?"
Hear this.
Qin An and Hu Jizhou suddenly understood.
"War horses in ancient times were all stallions... Stallions are not only stronger but also have better endurance! If the Subi Kingdom wants to conquer all the countries in the Western Regions, it is impossible for it to use mares to gallop on the battlefield!" Hu Jizhou's face suddenly changed.
Qin An also nodded.
"Old Xu! Let's pause our explanation for a moment... to see if these stone horses are all mares! I feel like the mechanism in the underground palace is about to be triggered!"
In fact.
There is no need for Xu Guoqing's consent.
After hearing Qin An's words, the rest of the archaeological team dispersed to check the hips of the stone horses.
however.
As expected...these stone horses are all mares!
Gu Yang also felt that the matter was too strange:
"Holy crap? All mares? Where are the stallions?"
Qin An's eyelids were twitching rapidly!
He picked up Gu Wuyan, who was closest to him, and held him in his arms: "The stone horse is the trap! Everyone, quickly escape into the underground palace!"
The voice just fell.
Boom boom boom——
The stone wall behind the mare suddenly collapsed... and the stone statues of stallions appeared inside.
"and many more......"
Qin An held Gu in his arms, hesitant and undecided.
He stood where he was and did not run into the palace.
"Qin An! What's wrong with you? Didn't you tell us to run into the underground palace? These stallions are ready to charge at us!"
The rest of the archaeological team was about to rush into the palace.
Seeing Qin An standing there motionless, Jiang Liuli came up and pulled his sleeve, while Gu Wuyan hugged Qin An's neck with both hands, buried his head in his arms and said nothing.
"Aqin is thinking...don't disturb him."
After a while.
The confusion in Qin An's eyes disappeared.
He raised his head with clear eyes. "Don't go into the palace! Get out! These stallions are after the palace! Get on these mares!"
Qin An placed Gu Wuyan on the back of a mare.
Then he did the same thing and carried Jiang Liuli to a stone horse!
The rest of the archaeological team did not hesitate at all after hearing Qin An's loud shout. They desperately returned the same way.
Hiss--
The mechanisms in the bodies of the densely packed stallions behind the stone wall are moving!
Their mouths opened and closed, making the neighing sound that only living horses can make.
All of a sudden!
Horses neigh and the wind howls!
Qin An quickly threw Zhang Sitian and Yang Lele onto a stone horse each.
After all the members of the archaeological team jumped onto a stone horse and hugged its neck, Qin An jumped onto the stone horse under Gu Wuyan's crotch and hugged her from behind.
Dadadadadadadadada——
The stallion starts to sprint!
Their speed goes from slow to fast!
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer to the archaeological team... Everyone could only lower their heads and hug the horses' necks, not even having the courage to look back.
Suddenly!
bang——
A dull loud noise was heard!
Qin An looked back.
I saw a stone horse crashing into the outer wall of the palace.
The stone horse broke into several pieces... and the outer wall of the palace just shook! But as more and more stone horses crashed into the outer wall of the palace.
The palace built of sand and stones couldn't withstand the impact!
Collapse!
Then countless stone horses trampled over the ruins of the palace...unimaginable!
If the archaeological team really hid in the palace.
Maybe everyone is drinking Meng Po soup now!
Da da da da da da da—
The palaces in the underground palace were completely destroyed by the stallions!
But as if the program was set up that way...these stallions just passed through the passage next to the mares!
Didn't hit the mare!
Therefore, all the members of the archaeological team lying on the back of the mare were safe and sound.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang——
At last.
These stallions crashed into the stone wall where Qin An and his companions were climbing down the rope, and all of them broke into several pieces...sand and stones were scattered all over the ground.
Until all movement stops.
Only then did the archaeological team dare to slowly raise their heads!
Seeing the palace in the underground palace turned into ruins, a feeling of surviving a disaster came over me.
