"We're here."

Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately retorted, "Old Hu, you're wrong. Not to mention Old Bai, even you understand feng shui, so isn't this perfect?"

Meanwhile, Sun Qiaoshan began to subtly stir up trouble: "The harvest in the village hasn't been good these past two years. If we can find gold, the villagers' lives will be much better."

Bai Jing chuckled to himself upon hearing this.

Sun Qiaoshan's purpose was already very clear. He wasn't after any gold vein; he just wanted to find the Ghost Government Office and take out the bronze box inside.

However, what Sun Qiaoshan still doesn't know is that the bronze box inside that ghostly government office has long been gone.

Upon hearing Sun Qiaoshan's words, Hu Bayi immediately tried to decline.

"Old man, my skills are still far from sufficient."

However, Sun Qiaoshan looked at Bai Jing at this moment and interrupted Hu Bayi: "Isn't there another great talent here?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi couldn't help but look at Bai Jing, wanting to ask for Bai Jing's opinion.

"Old Bai, what are you thinking?"

Bai Jing considered the pros and cons for a moment, and decided that since these tombs posed no danger to him, he simply said, "Let's go take a look."

As he spoke, Bai Jing looked at Sun Qiaoshan seriously and said, "However, old man, whatever we find is contributing to socialist construction, wouldn't you agree?"

After speaking, Bai Jing stared at Sun Qiaoshan, but Sun Qiaoshan's gaze remained indifferent.

After a long while, Sun Qiaoshan finally spoke, saying, "You're right, that makes sense."

After agreeing on the matter, the group took their leave.

On their way back, Bai Jing, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang encountered Huamei returning to the forest farm.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group parted ways.

After returning to Yanzi's house, Bai Jing began to supplement the contents of Hu Bayi's "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique".

Although Bai Jing couldn't pass on the Yin-Yang technique to Hu Bayi, the Feng Shui technique alone would be enough to greatly benefit Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi, on the other hand, was studying the map to determine the location of the Ghost Office.

To be fair, Hu Bayi's talent is indeed remarkable. Just as Bai Jing had finished completing the Heavenly Scroll for Hu Bayi, Hu Bayi was able to pinpoint the location of the Ghost Yamen solely by relying on the map.

No wonder the tomb raiders have risen to prominence again in Hu Bayi's generation.

Meanwhile, Fatty, watching Bai Jing and Hu Bayi scribbling and drawing, was also getting incredibly sleepy.

They both stopped writing.

He immediately asked, "Are you done? I'm so sleepy I'm seeing double."

Bai Jing smiled and handed two pieces of paper to Hu Bayi, saying, "This is content that wasn't in your book. I've filled in some of it for you. This is the content of the Heavenly Scroll. Take a look."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi was overjoyed and accepted the paper that Bai Jing handed him.

A few minutes later, Hu Bayi finished reading Bai Jing's writing and carefully slipped it into his half-book, "The Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Techniques".

Then, Hu Bayi laughed and said, "Haha, Lao Bai, thank you so much. The content here is truly profound."

Bai Jing waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

Then, Hu Bayi said seriously, "Old Bai, Fatty, I've found it."

Upon hearing this, the fat man looked at the map drawn by Hu Bayi.

However, he couldn't understand what it was at all.

Hu Bayi was also speechless. Talking about these things with Fatty was really a waste of time.

Chapter 31 Fire

Seeing this, Bai Jing shook his head, then looked at the map, pointed to a location, and asked Hu Bayi, "Is this the place?"

Seeing this, Hu Bayi nodded with some admiration and said, "I'm not too sure either, but this is the most likely location. Look."

As he spoke, Hu Bayi pointed to that spot and said, "The stars in the sky, the roads on the ground—everything has a beginning and an end."

Fatty Wang was completely bewildered; he couldn't understand a word Hu Bayi was saying.

"I don't understand at all."

Bai Jing didn't care; not everyone has Hu Bayi's level of understanding.

Immediately, Bai Jing used his hand as a pen to trace the direction of the mountains, and then explained: "Fatty, look, this gold vein is like a coiled dragon, with its head facing northeast and its tail facing southwest."

In Feng Shui, a site that is considered to have a golden vein is one that is supported from the front and back, embraced from both sides, and contains bubbles.

The gold miners built a temple to suppress the gold vein. So, if it were you, where would you build the temple?

The fat man roughly understood something at this moment. Since the goal was to build a temple to suppress the gold vein, the temple must be located on the gold vein.

However, the fat man looked at Bai Jing and asked, "But, Lao Bai, this gold vein is so long, how can you be sure it's this place?"

Hu Bayi laughed upon hearing this, then drew a circle on the map with both hands and said, "Look again, does this place look familiar?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man looked at the area that Hu Bayi had covered up and immediately felt that it looked very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he said with some doubt, "Hey, you know what, this seems to be the bear cave we went to before."

Bai Jing nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly it. Although there's a saying that rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, the human bear is the exact opposite. Human bears are greedy and lazy, and they specifically look for food near their burrows. Do you remember that gold nugget we found in the human bear's belly?"

Hu Bayi nodded and said, "That's right. That gold nugget must have been dug out by the bear nearby and accidentally eaten by it."

The fat man was even more confused.

"But what is the connection between the bear and that so-called Great Immortal Temple?"

Bai Jing was too lazy to talk anymore, so he immediately gestured for Hu Bayi to explain.

Although Hu Bayi was speechless, he still explained, "The fact that the bear was able to dig out that gold nugget means that there must be a gold vein nearby. Therefore, the location of the bear's cave must not be far from the Great Immortal Temple."

Didn't you hear what Old Man Qiaoshan said? "If you want to find a bear, first find a temple." This bear has shown us the right path.

At this point, the fat man finally understood.

"I think I understand now. It means that the Great Immortal Temple is not far from the bear's cave, and once we find the temple, we won't be far from the gold. Doesn't that mean we're going to be rich?"

Hu Bayi shook his head and said, "Don't be too happy yet. Old Master Qiaoshan must still be hiding something from us."

The fat man asked with a puzzled look, "Is there anything else I haven't said?"

Bai Jing laughed and said, "What else could it be? Something about the Great Immortal Temple."

Love, huh?

Hu Bayi lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and then said, "Old Bai, Fatty, I don't know if you guys noticed what's written in the bottom right corner of that map?"

Fatty Wang didn't understand at all, nor did he notice any of this at the time.

Bai Jing, however, said calmly, "Drawn by the Osaka Archaeological Team in the eleventh year of Showa!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi nodded; he recognized him too.

But the fat man asked with some doubt, "Isn't it just digging for gold? Why is there an archaeological team involved?"

Hu Bayi also said with some doubt, "So, I also feel a little strange."

Bai Jing said, "There's nothing strange about it. Have you forgotten what I said before? Tuanshanzi is a dragon vein. Since it's a dragon vein, there must be a large tomb inside."

Hu Bayi nodded as well.

Suddenly, Bai Jing stretched out a hand, signaling Hu Bayi and Fatty to quiet down.

Fatty and Hu Bayi immediately shut their mouths, looking at Bai Jing with some confusion, not understanding what he was going to do.

Bai Jing immediately said softly, "Be quiet, someone's here."

Immediately, the three of them began to quietly put on their clothes, but just as they finished dressing, they discovered that there was a fire outside the house.

Bai Jing was startled and immediately shouted, "Quick, Lao Hu, Fatty, there's a fire outside!"

The three quickened their pace, and as soon as they finished dressing, they rushed out.

In the darkness, Bai Jing saw several figures run out of the courtyard.

Although it was dark, Bai Jing could still see the departing people clearly. One of them was none other than Xu Erhei, whom he had seen before.

However, Bai Jing didn't have time to think about these things right now; it was best to put out the fire first.

Then, the three of them went to the kitchen, picked up buckets and basins, and began to put out the fire.

Hearing the commotion, Yanzi ran out of her room.

Fortunately, the fire was not large, or rather, it was discovered by Bai Jing and his group before it even started burning.

The next moment, Bai Jing noticed a suspicious figure slipping out of the house.

Bai Jing immediately stepped forward and captured the man. Then, with the light from inside the house, everyone could see clearly that the man was none other than Xu Erhei, a local hoodlum.

When Yanzi saw Xu Erhei, she questioned him, "Xu Erhei, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Yanzi immediately demanded, "Could it be that you started this fire?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Erhei immediately tried to break free from Bai Jing's grasp and prepare to run away. However, Xu Erhei was relatively weak compared to ordinary people, let alone someone as skilled in combat as Bai Jing.

Xu Erhei was completely suppressed by Bai Jing and couldn't even move.

Suddenly, Bai Jing seemed to remember something, reached into Xu Erhei's arms, and found that there was a book in Xu Erhei's arms. He took the book out and looked at it.
