"Stop talking, it sounds scary."
Wang Qingzheng glanced at him from a distance, "Since you haven't found anything, why are you still here instead of looking for Fatty and the others?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about the main thing.
Let's close the coffin and leave quickly.
Those two lively people have wandered off to somewhere else."
I quickly closed the coffin, intending to insert the nails back in , but unfortunately this thing was too old, and it snapped into two pieces after just two nailings.
Shiry Yang blamed me for being reckless and destroying things in the tomb.
I said, "Why are you becoming more and more mother-in-law, like that Professor Li."
She didn't want to argue with me, so she took out a blue notebook and said, "We They were searched from the opposite direction.
Since they have left, they probably went back to the front of us.
Let’s go back to the meeting point to see if they are back.”
I looked at the time and guessed that they were about to turn around.
We did agree to meet at the place where we parted.
Although I didn't find any useful clues in this round just now, I still have a certain understanding of the ancient city.
Maybe this place really hides some unknown secrets as Shirey Yang said.
We retraced our steps back to our original starting point, and heard the fat man complaining from a distance.
"It's all you.
I said there's nothing to find out.
You insist on researching.
What's so good about a broken disk?
Now, three living people are just lost.
Oh, my uncle Li, you are.
Say something.
Go find it, there will be no result if you wait."
Professor Li retorted: "That is a sundial, an ancient timekeeping tool, which is of great research value.
The earliest record of a sundial in history was probably in BC."
He stopped mid-sentence, pointed at us and smiled: "What did I say?
Why don’t you come here?”
The fat man was relieved when he saw that the three of us had returned safely.
He immediately asked us where we had gone, saying that they had made a major discovery.
"The sundial, right?
We saw it too.
We also found the coffin."
Young Master Wang's show-off nature was once again exposed.
He obviously hid further than anyone else when the coffin was opened, but now it seems like it was all his fault.
When the fat man heard the word "coffin", his eyes suddenly lit up.
I quickly grabbed the conversation and said, "Yes, it's open, but there are no burial items inside.
It's just a mummy.
It's behind the room you went to."
Professor Li asked: "How do you know which one it is?"
"Isn't it the three-story old house?
There's a well in the yard."
Professor Li and the fat man looked at each other, and finally the fat man said: "The sundial is correct, but the one we went to has no well or yard.
It is just an ordinary wooden house, a bungalow."
This time it was Shiry Yang and I's turn to be dumbfounded.

She asked hurriedly: "I remember you entered a very tall building on this road."
"Oh, um, that's where I went.
I followed Professor Li to the small room when I came out.
Why, you are looking for the wrong place."
I said, "There's something fishy about this, and it's very strange."
After they heard me tell the whole story, they both stopped talking.
I said: "Don't be so bitter, it's better to figure this out.
If you haven't been to the three-story hut, why is the dust on the sundial wiped clean?"
The fat man took the lead and said: "What else is there to investigate?
It is obvious that besides us, there are other people in the city, and they are not far from us."
I nodded, and Shiry Yang continued: "The sundial thing is also very strange.
The same thing appears in two unrelated houses in a row.
I have a guess, I don't know if it is correct, and further verification is needed."
"You want to see other houses" "Yeah.
I doubt it's everywhere."
"But in a dead man's grave, if so many sundials are buried, they will die regardless of what they do.
Who would care about time?"
"This is the strange thing.
There is also the dark figure that has been monitoring us.
It is not clear whether it is a human or a ghost.
In short, we cannot sit still and wait for death.
Everyone, clean up and let's leave quickly."
The fat man was very interested in the coffin in the darkroom and said he wanted to take a look.
I said, "The real owner hasn't been found yet, so just let this poor family go."
“You can’t be without a single belonging, right?”
"Why are you lying to me?
You're so poor that you only have one piece of clothing left, and it's almost torn to pieces.
You're planning to strip naked for others."
"That's okay, I'm a person with professional ethics."
After finally giving up the idea of Fatty returning to the darkroom, in order to verify Shiry Yang's inference, we randomly picked a room nearby and walked in.
Sure enough, we found the same old sundial in the corner of the room.
"It's the same as what we saw, there's a moment missing."
After Shiry Yang finished the inspection, he turned back and asked Professor Li, "Can you tell which part is missing?"
Professor Li nodded, took out a notebook and pen, squatted aside and said: "These timekeeping methods are all regular.
Give me some time and I can calculate them quickly.
Speaking of which, I didn't notice it just now.
This point.
Miss Yang observes carefully and admires it."
While Professor Li was calculating the time, I discussed the current situation with everyone.
First of all, there were definitely more than just us in this place.
If it is Wang Puyuan and Xu San, there is no reason not to recognize us; as for the Japanese, the possibility is not high.
They almost always act in groups and have guys in their hands.
It would be good if they don't rush up to fight us, but why not?
When he had time, he hid aside and watched us.
"What else can I do if I'm not a human?

I haven't heard that the nearest rice dumpling can climb the wall, and I haven't heard that ghosts turn around and run away when they see people."
"No matter who the opponent is, at least he has not shown any threat for the time being.
Please be careful and never act alone again.
I suggest you go directly to the main city in a while.
If Concubine Ming's coffin is really in this underground city, it is most likely to be That’s probably where it’s parked.”
"I agree with this.
But what about other houses?
I won't check them anymore."
"We can't afford to waste time.
The longer we delay, the worse it will be for us.
It's best to make a quick decision this time and get out immediately after grabbing your things.
I don't know what's going on at the other end of the camp, or whether support has been received."
At this point, I couldn't help but look at Wang Qingzheng.
Originally, I was afraid that the Guo family would bite back after the large army took over the camp, so I deliberately maintained an alliance with the Wang family.
Now Wang Puyuan's whereabouts are unknown, and his group has dispersed.
It's enough for us just to take this bastard Wang Qingzheng with us.
We don't know what kind of impact we will encounter when we go out soon.
But that is something to consider later.
Right now, our focus is on how to find the golden tripod and the coffin of the tomb owner.
Shiry Yang looked worried.
I asked her if she had any other concerns.
She shook her head and said, "It's okay.
I'm just a little dizzy.
Maybe I'm thinking too much."
The fat man said, "That's not the case.
After you come back, She didn't say a word and just rushed, which almost made me and Lao Li anxious to death."
I was afraid that she would feel guilty again, so I immediately stopped the topic and turned to ask Professor Li how his research was going.
"Yes," Professor Li ran to us excitedly, spread out his notebook and said, "Miss Yang is right, there are two hours in an hour in ancient times.
This clock only lacks a quarter of Hai hour.
When broken down, it is about It’s around eleven o’clock today.”
"So it must be midnight, not noon" "Of course, there are graduation marks on the stone plate, and the morning and evening are clearly distinguished.
The three sundials we saw successively are all the same.
I boldly assume that maybe all houses have such an incomplete sundial, but I don’t know what it does.
I think we need to study it carefully.”
"This is the same as what I originally inferred."
Shiry Yang nodded and said, "Maybe for the owner of this tomb, Haishi has some special meaning."
"That's a dead man's business, and it has nothing to do with us."
The fat man didn't like Professor Li's continued study of sundials, and he wanted to find the rightful owner.
I didn't want to stay here and waste time, so I followed the fat man's instructions and explained our current situation, hoping that Professor Li would focus on the overall situation.
Although the old man was reluctant to give up, he couldn't get over the opinions of all of us, so he had to give up.
He murmured a few words, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "What time is it now?"
We don't know why he suddenly asked about the time.
To be honest, "Since I entered the empress's grave, my concept of time has become very weak, and I have never paid attention to it deliberately."
However, the old man had been talking about the sundial just now.
It is inevitable that time will come.

Shiry Yang looked at his watch subconsciously and replied: "Eleven o'clock, still ten minutes to go."
When she finished her report, everyone present was stunned for a moment.
I don’t know if it was psychological trouble, but I reached out and touched the wound on my neck, and I always felt like something was crawling up, something light, itchy, and painful.
"Lao Hu, are you okay?"
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
The wound on my neck was caused by a sneak attack while fighting the two-faced corpse, but I had already done emergency sutures, and Xu San also checked it afterward.
There shouldn't be any major flaws.
The pain was probably caused by my own guilty conscience.
To be honest, Professor Li's question was so scary that it made my skin crawl all over the place and I always felt like something was going to happen.
Shiry Yang was probably also upset by him, as he kept looking down at his watch unconsciously.
The fat man burst out laughing when he saw our funny look.
"Lao Hu, why should I take it seriously?
You shouldn't be afraid anymore, right?"
"This is a naked slander.
I don't do anything bad on weekdays, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night.
I behave upright and walk straight.
It's you who's the most scary thing.
You were clearly trembling just now."
"Nonsense, it's cold, don't you feel it?
The temperature here doesn't seem right
