120: Chapter 120 Ye Xiao: Everyone, don't believe or spread rumors.

Subsequently, the Archaeological Team circled the second floor but never found a way up to the third floor.

In the end, they had to give up and returned to the lobby on the first floor.

Coincidentally, they found another exit in the first-floor lobby.

Behind a screen in the first-floor lobby, the Archaeological Team discovered a pitch-black passage.

After pondering for a moment, the Symposium issued an order for the Archaeological Team to enter.

Afterward, the Archaeological Team took a rest and then directly entered the pitch-black passage to begin further exploration.

The passage was deep and dark.

Walking through it, apart from the breathing and intermittent footsteps of the Archaeological Team, there was no other sound.

At this time, in the Symposium, many experts also drew a floor plan of the entire underground palace based on the footage explored so far.

Of course, this floor plan was only roughly drawn based on what everyone saw and where the Archaeological Team had explored.

It was not particularly accurate.

Ye Xiao only took one look and discovered several flaws.

Compared to the memories in his mind, this floor plan was far too different.

However, based on the information obtained by the Archaeological Team so far, being able to draw such a floor plan was enough to show the professionalism of the Archaeological Team.

Suddenly, many experts surrounded the floor plan and began to frown and speculate.

Professor Zhou spoke first:

"You know, building structures underground is the most incredible thing since ancient times."

"Yet this underground palace is extremely magnificent and unprecedented; it is a beautifully crafted palace built underground!"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes... I wouldn't even believe it!"

"However, this palace should only be the last location of this great tomb."

"There are four floors in total in the palace. So far, we have explored two floors, but they are all just burial goods!"

"So I suspect that the more important places should be in the remaining two floors of the underground palace!"

"And the main tomb chamber of Emperor Jiajing should exist on the top floor of this palace!"

Professor Zhou pointed to the dense lines on the drawing, frowning and speaking while thinking, his eyes moving constantly across the drawing.

The other experts, upon hearing this, immediately fell into deep thought.

They all stroked their chins, also lost in thought.

The entire Seminar Hall became extremely quiet in an instant.

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the hall, catching everyone off guard!

"Emperor Jiajing was naturally suspicious. The five words 'two dragons do not meet' were enough to make him refuse to appoint a crown prince until his death! Would he really play by the rules?"

This was a doubt raised by one of the older archaeologists after careful consideration.

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhou could not help but fall silent as well.

The strange thing was that the owner of this underground palace—Emperor Jiajing—had a personality that was simply too eccentric and impossible to fathom.

So much so that hundreds of years have passed, and today's archaeologists have found his tomb, and were even nearing the main tomb chamber.

Yet they dared not make a decision at will to pin down the location of his main tomb chamber.

From ancient times to the present, except for the person, all other tomb complexes were built as flat tomb chambers underground.

But now, this vertical tomb chamber of Emperor Jiajing was making the many experts present scratch their heads.

Professor Zhou gently pinched the bridge of his nose and then rubbed his temples.

He seemed to have a headache from being troubled by this question, and turning around, he saw Ye Xiao on the side and asked on an impulse:

"Little Ye! Do you have any special views on the location of Emperor Jiajing's main tomb chamber?"

Once these words were spoken, the experts who were chattering about the location of the main tomb chamber immediately swallowed their words.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Ye Xiao at the conference table.

The Seminar Hall was silent.

Looking at this scene before him, Ye Xiao really wanted to complain:

"You guys keep chatting, why are you all looking at me? Have you never seen a handsome guy?"

However, Ye Xiao felt it was better to be low-key, so he coughed twice and said:

"Emperor Jiajing's main tomb chamber... it should be on the top floor!"

Ye Xiao gave a perfunctory answer.

Just now, when the yongle encyclopedia was discovered, Ye Xiao had a sudden thought and recalled the history after Emperor Jiajing passed away.

The history was very vague, but there was also some useful information.

Based on this information, some guesses had already arisen in Ye Xiao's mind.

It was just that for these guesses, Ye Xiao could not be sure yet and needed further verification.

So there was no other way, Ye Xiao could only give a perfunctory answer.

However, after finishing, looking at the strange gazes of everyone present, Ye Xiao added another sentence:

"Um... regardless of whether his main tomb chamber is on the fourth floor or not, the yongle encyclopedia has been found. Don't you think there might be more amazing things on the fourth floor?"

Once these words were spoken, the many experts present could not help but react.

They were all enlightened, and one after another, they suddenly realized.

The one who understood the deepest was none other than Professor Zhou beside Ye Xiao.

He looked at Ye Xiao with some suspicion, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:

"I understand! You mean the fourth floor is not the main tomb chamber, but it contains more precious things!"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the scene suddenly quieted down.

For a moment, everyone could not help but look at Professor Zhou, and then turned their eyes to Ye Xiao again.

The suspicion in their eyes had become almost tangible.

Ye Xiao was slightly stunned, then asked back:

"Did I mean that?"

As he spoke, Ye Xiao looked at Professor Zhou inquiringly.

And Professor Zhou, meeting Ye Xiao's gaze, nodded firmly.

Ye Xiao held his head high and thought for a while, and only after a long time did he answer:

"Maybe..."

Leaving behind an ambiguous answer, Ye Xiao stopped talking.

At this time, the entire Live Stream Room had already been ignited by Ye Xiao's words!

In an instant, the screen of the entire Live Stream Room was completely flooded with barrage, surging up like a stormy wave.

"Too awesome! Ye Dao even knows this; he hasn't been here before, has he?"

"This matter seems to have been answered a long time ago!"

"That's right, Ye Dao knows this great tomb too well! It doesn't look like someone who hasn't been here at all!"

"I feel that it is very likely that Ye Dao already knows the location of Emperor Jiajing's main tomb chamber, really!"

"Don't talk about him knowing! I'm not bragging, Ye Dao might have even been inside, okay?"

...

For a time, the audience in the Live Stream Room were all discussing it.

Ye Xiao looked at the screen of the Live Stream Room and could not help but explain in all seriousness again:

"I really am just an ordinary screenwriter! I really haven't been to this great tomb, and I really didn't build it!"

"Everyone cannot spread rumors, and cannot believe rumors! Everyone should be a law-abiding good netizen!"
