Surveillance
"The grass in Emperor Luo Gao's tomb has gone underground, dig it up quickly!"
"The grass in Emperor Luo Fu's tomb has disappeared! How are we supposed to find it?!"
"Should we investigate Luo Zhong's tomb?"
Luo Yan reigned for an extremely long time. Emperor Luo Gao was the old crown prince Luo Yongwen, who inherited the throne at an advanced age and had a limited reign.
The purple gladiolus in Emperor Luo Gao's tomb is even thicker, having already pulverized Emperor Luo Gao's remains into tiny, powdery fragments.
The purple gladiolus plant had only half a leaf left when it burrowed underground, and it was later dug out by the group.
When the imperial coffin of Emperor Luo Fu, Luo Yan, was opened, no trace of his remains or sword orchids was found.
After checking four imperial mausoleums in succession, even though everyone worked at a fast pace, it was already 1 a. m.
In the end, only the tomb of the last emperor, Luo Zhong, remained. Many of the committee members had attended Luo Zhong's funeral when they were young and had heard that Luo Zhong's body was headless.
Whether to search for the purple gladiolus in Luo Yan's tomb or to go to Luo Chong's tomb, the group couldn't help but gather and discuss for a while.
What do you think?
After some discussion, Zhou Yueyan also inquired about the real driving force behind this search.
"I think we could search Luo Zhong's tomb," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"What about the grass around Luo Yan's tomb?" Zhou Yueyan asked. "Is it being left unattended?"
"This kind of grass..."
The first purple gladiolus was caught off guard by the crowd.
The second purple gladiolus began to flee, concealing its chip.
The third purple gladiolus almost escaped successfully, leaving only half a leaf on the ground, which was then pulled out by the group.
As for the fourth purple gladiolus, it has disappeared without a trace.
This purple gladiolus doesn't burrow like an animal, leaving behind mounds of earth as a guide. Instead, it's more like Earth Escape Technique), where the ground is flat after it burrows in, making it impossible to tell where it is hiding.
It is very difficult to find purple gladiolus in the tomb of Emperor Luo Yan.
Some committee members used crowbars and other tools to lift up many of the floor tiles in their search, but the result was that they found nothing.
Luo Zhong's tomb is also a key area of the search. Although Luo Zhong's body is headless, it would be unsettling not to check the situation.
The situation appears to have become a choice between two options.
If the committee members were to be divided into two groups, they would be unwilling to separate in the face of such danger and strangeness.
Moreover, everyone only has one set of equipment, such as a large blackout cloth, and there is only one reporter filming. It is difficult to guarantee what kind of problems might arise after the groups are divided.
The group was currently in the mausoleum of Emperor Luo Yan, also known as Emperor Luo Fu, which was the most luxurious and opulent of all the imperial mausoleums they had visited.
There are hundreds of gold artifacts displayed around the imperial tomb alone. Each one is exquisitely crafted, and even after a hundred years, these gold artifacts have not become dusty and still shimmer with golden light.
Among these were piles of royal treasures, including weapons, silverware, jade, jewelry, lacquerware, bone artifacts, and ivory artifacts.
If one were not at the committee level, the treasures visible to the naked eye alone would be enough to drive anyone mad.
Even if many committee members can resist the temptation of wealth, if they have a keen eye, they might still be able to find one or two particularly appealing items in Luo Yan's tomb.
For example, after glancing at it a few times, Zhang Xuezhou spotted a piece of jade. He felt that the jade was likely carved from some kind of spiritual jade. Although the Spiritual Qi in the jade had lost its previous mystique, it still contained some spiritual jade marrow, which could serve as an important auxiliary ingredient for some special elixirs.
Leaving would mean failure, but staying would mean not being able to find other purple gladioli and might even lead to the problem of taking the coveted burial goods.
Many people whispered among themselves, exchanging glances as if they could discern each other's true thoughts.
"This grass is strange, but it doesn't seem to know much about modern equipment," Zhang Xuezhou whispered. "We can put the live-streaming camera that Zuo Quan forced on us here, so that if that gladiolus sprouts from the ground, we can spot it in time!"
"You're so thoughtful!"
Zuo Jin and Zuo Quan kept insisting on fairness, but since neither of them could come in, Zhang Xuezhou, who was in charge of recording the footage, ended up bringing an extra camera to do a live broadcast.
Zhou Yueyan glanced at the only two viewers in the live stream, the accounts "Brother Zuo is Here" and "Handsome Man Zuo No. 1," and couldn't help but nod.
Zuo Quan and Zuo Jin didn't dare to enter the mausoleum, but these two were also petty and afraid that some members of the order committee might take advantage of them, so leaving them behind to keep watch was perfectly fine.
The group could then quickly travel to Luo Zhong's mausoleum.
If they encounter purple gladiolus sprouting from the ground halfway through their journey, they can launch a surprise attack.
After a brief discussion of just two sentences, Zhou Yueyan coughed and relayed the message.
"That's a great idea!"
"Our thinking is a bit outdated; we never even considered using this kind of live-streaming surveillance method!"
"Speaking of which, Flying Entertainment Livestream is still the strongest in the live streaming industry, right?"
"Xinfei Entertainment is also good!"
"It's more convenient for Zuo Household his own software!"
"Yueyan is indeed our leader. We were exhausted after exploring the tomb all day and couldn't come up with any solutions, but she solved the problem so easily!"
Zhou Yueyan's arrangements were convincing to everyone, and the relatively safe contingency plan for the purple gladiolus reassured everyone about the follow-up investigation.
If this purple gladiolus thinks it has escaped death and sprouts out, then this is the end for the other plant.
Although this plant can sense risks and even take preemptive escape actions, no one believed that a plant would be adept at understanding modern technology, especially the kind of live streaming that they all seemed to be somewhat out of touch with.
After a thorough search, Zuo Quan's visual device was found to be hung on a large wooden pillar in the mausoleum.
The purple gladiolus itself emits light, so there's no need to worry about the mausoleum being pitch black after people leave, nor is there any need to leave any lights here.
With Zhou Rihui leading the way and Qin Wenhan guiding them, the group finally emerged from the tomb.
"What's going on? We missed a part of the live stream. The screen has been completely black. Did you guys secretly hide something from us?"
When everyone emerged from the tunnel, Zuo Quan and Zuo Jin, who were guarding outside, were already shouting.
These two are indeed as cunning as ever.
No one paid any attention to Zuo Quan and Zuo Jin's shouting. Only after Zhou Yueyan gave a brief explanation did the two men look disappointed.
"Then you can't just leave my visual device in the tomb. It would be bad if it got tainted by bad luck, and if there's any residual corpse poison, I'd lose a whole device!"
Zuo Quan muttered something.
The brothers' next task was simple: they just needed to guard the mausoleum, saving them the trouble of operating excavators and bulldozers.
Seeing everyone driving non-stop towards Luo Zhong's mausoleum, the Zuo Household brothers felt that they had done enough of the day's dirty work.
Luo Zhong's tomb is probably the most troublesome mausoleum. Apart from the brutality of the Heavenly God Soldier Project against the high-ranking officials and the capture of many ordinary people for experiments, Luo Zhong himself did not have any other problems.
Decades ago, when information was not readily available, if the tragedy hadn't befallen him, Luo Zhong could even be considered a good ruler. Some elderly people still fondly remember this last emperor of the Luofu Dynasty.
The two were happy not to dig up the grave, so they wouldn't be the first to be criticized.
Next was the time period during which they viewed the live stream on the video receiver.
This job is easy and enjoyable; if anything happens, just make a phone call.
Moreover, once the weakness is known, preventing this purple gladiolus is too easy.
The two men called over a member of the task force to bring over a high-class tent, and went straight inside.
If they need to make things even easier, they can call someone over to help monitor the live stream, thus completing this simple task.
Lying in the tent, warming their tea and eating the late-night snacks that were brought to them, while occasionally glancing at the live stream on the monitor, the two felt that this was the life a human being should be living.
