The fat man stopped doing it all at once, "Damn it, I've been working on it for a long time, I want me to work hard, I..."

"Hey hey." I quickly called Fatty, "that's no different from your current job."

The fat man thought it was right, but he still looked at Professor Chen very unhappily.

I quickly asked Professor Chen again, "What's the matter in Mingkui?"

Professor Chen thought about it and after a while, he said: "If you have to express it in words, then Mingkui is actually a kind of 'ghost'."

"Ghost?" I couldn't help but lower my voice.

Professor Chen's expression was very complicated, as if he didn't know how to explain it to me.

"Uh, it's not entirely true to say it's a ghost, because Mingkui actually doesn't exist, but there are many legends about Mingkui among the archaeological teams around us."

I was puzzled, and I felt that Professor Chen seemed to be lying to me. It doesn’t exist? What’s not there, so you can just do whatever you want.

"The matter has to start from the reform and opening up." Professor Chen said while recalling, "At that time, all walks of life were carrying out large projects, and the same was true for our archaeological community. Many large tombs were discovered at that time. Looking back, we were really busy from morning to night every day. To be honest, in those days, our archaeological team had insufficient funds and technology. In terms of specific work, we also used some tomb robbers to survey and excavate. Therefore, the excavation of ancient tombs was very fast, but the cleaning work was more complicated."

After archaeologists discovered an ancient tomb, the usual way was to dig, build a shed on it first, and then clean up the underworld tools in the ancient tomb little by little with various small tools.

If the tomb is well preserved, it would be fine, but if the tomb has been stepped on, the cleaning work will become extremely cumbersome.

"Mingkui appeared at that time. The first rumor was said to have appeared in a burial tomb of a noble group in Shaanxi. The cemetery discovered that time was very large, with tents set up for six or seven hundred meters. The initial cleaning took half a year. When the staff started to clean the largest tomb, strange things happened.

Every time, as long as you work at night, the cleaning staff would hear unnecessary footsteps around you, and sometimes even hear people talking. This was the case for several nights in a row, and those people were scared. If the organization hadn't urged them tightly, they would definitely not have gone in at night.

But later, those people gradually got used to it. When they heard footsteps and speeches, they pretended that they didn't hear it and continued to work hard. However, on the last night of the cleaning work, the cleaning staff in the ancient tombs disappeared inexplicably and the others searched for several days but couldn't find it. Just when everyone was despairing, some people were surprised to find that there was a shocking antique hidden in the last main tomb room. The value of that thing was far greater than all the cultural relics cleaned before.

Originally, this is the case. Those who do archaeological work will inevitably encounter strange things. But in that year, similar things happened at archaeological sites across the country, either missing or dead. The most bizarre thing is that as long as such a thing has happened, some amazing cultural relics will be found. The people of the archaeological team are like being cursed. If everything goes well, there will be no big gains. As long as such a strange thing happens, the national treasure-level divine objects will be found at the end of the cleaning work.

Oh, that kind of mood is really unspeakable. In the following years, there were more and more such things. After we summarized, we found that those things seemed to have many similarities. For example, they all appeared in the main tomb chamber, and at the beginning they would make archaeological team members discover. The strangest thing is that they all appeared near the most precious cultural relics, almost without exception.

So, those of us who do archaeology gave the thing a name, "Mingkui", which means that it is a ghost dormant around the precious underworld."

As he said that, Professor Chen sighed, "But after all, we don't know what Mingkui looks like, whether it exists or not, but those things have indeed happened. So later, whenever we encounter any bizarre things in the ancient tomb, we will think that Mingkui is doing the trouble."

The fat man suddenly continued: "A thing has been buried under the ground for a long time, and naturally there will be some spiritual surnames. If it is well transported, that spiritual surname is just a strange phenomenon. If it is not done well, then it is not uncommon to kill humans. Professor Chen, I understand what you said, but why did Zhang Yadong say so surely that Mingkui is among us?"

Professor Chen showed another embarrassed expression, "This is entirely because of some things that happened when we entered the main tomb last time. I can't explain it to you now. You may not believe it if you say it... Well, only when we arrive at the main tomb and you will know why when you see the environment there."

I looked at the fat man, but no one spoke immediately. I knew that Professor Chen was actually reminding us to go in as soon as possible. However, so many problems have not been solved now, I am really worried about going in as I want to go in.

But the fat man said, "You really made a thief hole in that main tomb?"

"That's right, no matter what we do now, we can only find the main tomb chamber first." Professor Chen nodded.

"Hey, Professor Chen, since you have all the stolen holes, why don't you take us out of the stolen holes directly when you come back?" I couldn't help asking.

I thought Professor Chen would be stopped by me, but I didn't expect him to answer immediately.

"You can indeed walk to the main tomb from the thief cave, but there is no snow crane feather fan we are looking for except for a set of coffins and some cultural relics. Moreover, there is no way to find my three students. The structure of the main tomb is very strange."

I probably understand what Professor Chen means, but I still have some doubts, "What you mean is that the main tomb chamber does not have a road leading to the tomb passage or the underground palace, or that road has some restrictions, right?"

"Hey, that's right." Professor Chen nodded to me.

The fat man smiled and said, "Then we have gone through this. Even if we have luck, we will find those three people and Zhuge Liang's fan. But how can we finally get out of the robbery hole in the main tomb?"
