Chapter 710 Undying Loyal Souls and Enduring Affection
Inside a private room of a restaurant called Yan Shang Yan · Shaanxi Cuisine New State Banquet, whose exterior sign is inconspicuous but whose interior is newly and well-decorated.

Gao Dongxu and Xu Qin enjoyed a table full of delicious local specialties.

What about the so-called Seven-Colored Treasure Soup that supposedly originated from the Tang Dynasty palace, crispy Shaanxi yellow beef, leek jelly with meat dumplings, beef shank mixed with scallions and Qin peppers, chrysanthemum meatballs with fresh peach kernels, and even the imperial concubine-flavored cold noodles, vinegary boiled tofu, coconut-scented chicken soup, and the nourishing imperial concubine papaya stewed with snow frog?

I must say, the restaurant arranged by the local coordinator was really good.

"Now can you tell me how you knew there was a coffin there?" Xu Qin put down her chopsticks, picked up a glass of juice, took a sip, and looked at Gao Dongxu with sparkling eyes, asking curiously.

Gao Dongxu didn't hide anything and smiled as he explained to Xu Qin the knowledge of vertical burial, dragonfly skimming water burial site, and acupressure to guide the meridians.

"...Normally, in a vertical burial, the head should be facing upwards and the feet downwards. However, the black coffin discovered was the opposite, with the head downwards and the feet upwards... A normal vertical burial can stimulate the acupoints and strengthen the dragon vein, so a reversed vertical burial naturally harms the dragon vein and destroys its fortune."

"I never imagined that feng shui could actually harm people," Xu Qin exclaimed, her beautiful eyes wide with surprise.

"It can not only harm people, but also affect the rise and fall of individuals and the fate of a country. Feng shui may seem mysterious, but it is actually intricately connected. It can be said that feng shui has been everywhere from ancient times to the present."

The ancients often said that the mountains and rivers on earth correspond to the sun, moon and stars in the sky. Those places considered to be auspicious locations often have unique geographical environments and are closely connected with heaven and earth and nature.

For example, the direction of a mountain range is seen as a dragon vein, symbolizing the flow of vital energy on earth. The surrounding water signifies the accumulation of wealth.

Looking at history, many significant events are intricately linked to feng shui. For instance, ancient emperors would consult feng shui masters when choosing a capital city. They believed that a capital city with good feng shui could bless the dynasty with prosperity and longevity.

Just like Chang'an, where we are, located on the Guanzhong Plain, surrounded by mountains on all sides and eight rivers flowing around it, it is regarded as an excellent place with excellent feng shui. Many dynasties in history have established their capitals here, creating a glorious civilization. "Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Hmm, you still haven't said how you knew that the corresponding Ximen also had a black coffin?" Xu Qin now deeply believes in these metaphysical and spiritual theories, but of course, this doesn't prevent her from learning medical knowledge with a scientific attitude.

"I'm guessing. A single tree cannot make a forest. Feng shui emphasizes the balance of yin and yang, especially feng shui arrangements that damage the dragon vein and destroy fortune."

"Although this feng shui arrangement is somewhat unorthodox, it's understandable that those who lost their country resorted to such desperate measures, placing their hopes on feng shui and metaphysics... to drain the Qing dynasty's fortune, waiting for the day when they could overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming, and then guard the gates of the Ming dynasty again," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"They really are loyal enough." Xu Qin couldn't help but feel both pity and admiration when she heard that they were willing to die, be fixed in a coffin, be buried upside down, and use their resentment to ruin the Qing Dynasty's fortune.

"He is indeed loyal, but unfortunately, the change of dynasties is an inevitable part of history. The power of feng shui and magic is too weak. To think that one can reverse the course of history with it is nothing short of wishful thinking."

Those who set up this feng shui arrangement never fulfilled their wish to overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming. Perhaps they had long forgotten the loyal and brave men buried under the two city gates, so much so that even after hundreds of years, they are still unable to escape their fate and have become strange creatures. Gao Dongxu nodded slightly and said.

"How pitiful..." Xu Qin said sadly, but the next moment her beautiful eyes lit up, and she looked at Gao Dongxu with anticipation and said, "You must have a way to free them, right? You must, otherwise you wouldn't have made this special trip, am I right?"

"Hehe, you're quite clever." Gao Dongxu chuckled.

"Hmph, of course I'm smart, but more than that, I believe you won't just stand by and watch a loyal and brave man meet a bad end." Xu Qin first gave a coquettish hum, then slowly looked at Gao Dongxu with eyes full of tenderness and admiration and smiled sweetly.

"Hehe, do you think I'm that good?" Gao Dongxu chuckled.

"Of course, the fact that you would risk crossing the boundary between the living and the dead to save a stranger like me shows that you are a good person with a sense of justice and responsibility," Xu Qin said, looking at Gao Dongxu with affection.

"Hahaha..." Gao Dongxu couldn't help but laugh, and finally shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't give me the 'good guy' card. I don't want to be a good guy. Good people don't get rewarded."

"Who says good deeds don't get rewarded?" Xu Qin retorted coquettishly, then blushed slightly and said shyly, "You went to save me, isn't that your reward?"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, yes." Gao Dongxu laughed again, nodding and smiling, "That's right, you are the best reward I've ever received. Now that you say that, I'll really do more good deeds in the future, and see if any other beauties will offer themselves to me in gratitude." "You're so annoying~~~" Hearing Gao Dongxu's teasing, Xu Qin, her pretty face flushed, pouted and playfully punched Gao Dongxu's arm.

Gao Dongxu smiled, reached out and grabbed her wrist, gently pulling her up from her seat. With a coquettish gasp, he pulled her onto his lap, checking the quality of her socks while kissing her red lips.

After a long while, their lips parted, and the two smiled at each other. Gao Dongxu held Xu Qin in his arms and ate the rest of the food. They fed each other bite by bite, like honey and oil, so sweet it was sickening.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Gao Dongxu put his arm around Xu Qin, whose face was flushed and who was blushing with shy sweetness, and they left the restaurant, got into the car, and headed to the museum.

Originally, Gao Dongxu wanted to take Xu Qin back to the hotel first before going to the museum, but Xu Qin refused, preferring to wait in the car rather than stay alone in the hotel.

Left with no other option, Gao Dongxu had to take her to the museum.

In the car, Gao Dongxu asked Wang Jianjun in the passenger seat, "Did you get the stuff?"

“Got it—” Wang Jianjun said, taking out a transparent sealed bag from his bag. Inside was a yellow talisman. He turned around and handed it to Gao Dongxu, explaining, “This was obtained by the local cultural relics protection bureau from the Wanshou Baxian Palace. They said it’s fifty years old.”

"What is this?" Xu Qin, her dark skin pressed tightly against the cool air, looked at the yellow talisman in Gao Dongxu's hand with a curious gaze, her pretty face flushed.

"A talisman." Gao Dongxu unfolded the long strip of talisman and felt it. He could indeed feel the light of faith emanating from the talisman, but whether it would last for fifty years was another matter.

"You can also draw talismans?" Xu Qin blinked her bright, beautiful eyes and asked Gao Dongxu with surprise and admiration.

"No," Gao Dongxu shook his head and smiled, "Drawing talismans is not an easy task."

"Then why are you taking the talisman?" Xu Qin asked curiously.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Wang Jianjun couldn't help but prick up his ears. It has to be said that Xu Qin asked a question that he was also curious about.

"Hehe, I can't draw, but I can print," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"A seal?!" Xu Qin was even more bewildered.

"Don't ask anymore. When you leave the country, I'll give you a talisman." Gao Dongxu said with a smile, pinching Xu Qin's delicate chin.

"Mmm." Upon hearing that she was to be given a talisman, Xu Qin happily and sweetly hummed in agreement. She knew that what Gao Dongxu gave her was something that others would beg for.

Gao Dongxu had no choice but to add an extra layer of protection for Xu Qin. After all, although her pure Yin destiny had been broken, her ability to summon and see spirits had not disappeared. Just think, in that 'free' land of America, there was no shortage of man-made demons and monsters.

Upon arriving at the museum, Gao Dongxu had someone accompany Xu Qin to his office for tea. He then led Wang Jianjun and the rest of the 749 members, along with local officials and cultural relics protection bureau personnel, to the warehouse where the two black coffins were stored.

Looking at the newly unearthed black coffin and another black coffin bound tightly with ropes, Gao Dongxu said to the workers, "Untie the ropes and open both coffins—"

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's order, no one hesitated. They immediately stepped forward, untied the ropes, grabbed their tools, and began to work together to open the coffin.

Soon, both coffins were opened. Gao Dongxu went forward to check and found that they were indeed made of the same type of armor and long swords. Both skeletons were tightly bound with copper wire and fixed to the coffins with thick, man-made iron nails.

Gao Dongxu used his divine sense to investigate and indeed found something unusual. There was a gray consciousness entity between the eyebrows of both skulls. No wonder the people who opened the coffins felt that there were eyes watching them.
