Chapter 207 - 167: Your Ancestor Down Below Has a Lot of Say (5000-word Mega Chapter)_3

```

Even Director Su Yu was taken aback as he said, "Generally speaking, if a stone gate is sealed, the fastest way to get through is to use a cutter or drill to make a hole."

Lin Chuan looked towards Qin Sisi, his expression puzzled.

Qin Sisi also nodded her head.

She had studied in the archaeology department of history, and her courses in college had mostly covered characteristics of tombs, cultural relics, geographical knowledge, historical backgrounds, as well as methods of conservation for tombs and cultural relics.

As for professional skills training and hands-on practice, they involved visiting museums, touring some of the famous excavated tombs in the area, and observing the conservation and restoration of artifacts.

After graduation,

Even in Anling City's Archaeological Team, it wasn't guaranteed that anyone would possess these skills.

Everyone used methods like cutting stone gates, drilling holes; she had even naturally come to believe that this was the correct way to conduct archaeology.

Techniques like "Dragon-Seeking and Positioning" and "Observation, Listening, Inquiry, Pulse Taking" showcased by Lin Chuan today were things she had only seen online.

Therefore, she found them miraculous.

Yes, miraculous.

She never thought that these ancient tomb-raiding techniques could actually exist.

It was somewhat akin to someone who, having always received a scientific education and believed in science, suddenly witnesses a Taoist priest flying on a sword one day.

In Qin Sisi's eyes, Lin Chuan was that 'Taoist priest flying on a sword.'

This had suddenly opened the doors to a whole new world for her!

Lin Chuan was also taken aback for a moment, musing to himself, right, how could someone skilled in these tomb-raiding techniques be part of Anling archaeological team?

These people were either part of tomb-robbing gangs or sitting in prison.

Those not in prison, every single one of them, were sought-after by archaeological teams all over the place.

Well, then.

Sigh—

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Actually, using a cutter isn't a bad method."

Expert Lu, the archaeology specialist, upon hearing Lin Chuan's endorsement, nodded his head in satisfaction. He took a look at Lin Chuan and suddenly found him much more agreeable, then said with an elder's authority, "Young man, watch carefully and learn well!"

Saying that, he carried the stone-cutting machine towards the Stone Gate.

"Expert Lu, wait a moment."

Lin Chuan still called out to stop the 'experienced' archaeology specialist, "Aren't you afraid that there might be a mechanism if you cut it so rashly?"

"Mechanism?"

Old Lu's face showed surprise, then he smirked, "What mechanism? From the Western Han period to now, two thousand years have passed, the mechanisms would have long decayed, no need to worry."

"Is that really what you think?" Lin Chuan's mouth twitched.

"I've opened several tomb's stone doors before and never saw any mechanisms, rest assured." Old Lu said, with his tone growing friendlier after he took a liking to Lin Chuan.

"Exactly how many tombs have you opened?" Lin Chuan asked.

"One, two, three..."

Old Lu counted on his fingers, "Four, five, a total of five."

Lin Chuan grinned, "Expert Lu, your ancestors down there must have a lot of clout."

"What do you mean?"

Expert Lu furrowed his brows.

"After you go back this time, burn a few extra incense sticks for your ancestors." Lin Chuan smiled, then pointed, "Expert Lu, do you see the row of small holes beside the Stone Gate, right on the side?"

Old Lu looked and nodded, confusedly replied, "I see them, so what?"

Su Yu, Qin Sisi, and Shen Qianqian also looked in the direction indicated; there was a row of small holes on both sides.

Lin Chuan said with a smile, "If you use this cutter to cut the Stone Gate, and if you're slightly careless, those two rows of small holes will shoot arrows out, turning you into skewers."

Old Lu's expression changed, a hint of fear appearing on his face: "No way?"

"Why not?" Lin Chuan countered.

"But with so much time passed, wouldn't the mechanism have rotted away?" Old Lu asked, still in disbelief.

"If we can think of that issue, don't you think our ancestors would have, too?" Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

Hiss!

Old Lu and the others behind him sharply inhaled, complex expressions surfacing on their faces.

"Doesn't that mean there's no way to enter the tomb chamber?" Old Lu was puzzled.

Lin Chuan looked at Old Lu and chuckled, "It's a tomb, not a death trap."

Old Lu curled his lip and muttered quietly, "But how do we open the Stone Gate, to enter the tomb?"

"Let me give it a try."

Having said that, Lin Chuan surveyed the area around the Stone Gate and the ground, then found a palm-sized rock nearby and threw it out.

This move was called 'throwing a stone to ask the way.'

Being cautious and meticulous is always the top priority for a Touch Gold Captain.

The tomb can be left unrobbed, but one must preserve their life.

Luckily, as everyone watched, the rock continued to roll up to the Stone Gate without triggering any accidents.

Only then did Lin Chuan feel reassured to approach it.

He stood in front of the Stone Gate and gently curled his index finger to knock on it, producing a 'thud thud thud' sound that was somewhat muffled.

However, one could make out a faint echo within the 'thud thud thud' ringing inside the Stone Gate.

This two-meter-tall Stone Gate was not entirely solid after all.

Lin Chuan looked closely at the Stone Gate, which suddenly seemed familiar to him.

This Stone Gate resembled the Stone Gate Mechanism template from the Virtual World!

The more he looked, the more similar it appeared!

"Could it be that the system got lazy and used a real-world Stone Gate as a model for the Virtual World?" Lin Chuan muttered to himself.

Regardless, Lin Chuan didn't dwell on it too much.

His gaze settled on the animal pattern that resembled a white tiger.

At the mouth of the tiger, there were two small holes.

Lin Chuan shone his flashlight into the holes, spotting many protruding blocks which seemed like the convex parts of a mechanism; he then reached in to feel around.

Huh?

This tactile sensation of concave and convex was identical to the Stone Gate Mechanism template from the Virtual World.

Lin Chuan wouldn't forget this feeling.

This was his first time dealing with a Stone Gate Mechanism!

Confident about the Stone Gate Mechanism, Lin Chuan inserted his two fingers into the small holes in the Stone Gate, touching one of the protruding points, and then exerted a sudden force!

Double Finger Probe!
