The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"Master Fang, you're amazing!"

Qi Tiezui, panting, gave Fang Yun a thumbs up.

Although he was a little tired, he was in a really good mood.

Witnessing the tomb raiders perform the Five Elements numerology and divine the eight directions is a rare opportunity for ordinary people.

Along the way, he drew all the roads he had traveled.

Although it is just one of countless paths, if you apply it to the hexagrams of the sixty-four hexagrams and study it carefully, you might even be able to learn a trick!

"Ten minutes to rest and catch up."

After giving instructions to his troops, Zhang Qishan led Huo Sanniang to Fang Yun's side.

"Brother Fang, this should be the next entrance, right?"

Looking at the two stone doors on the wall in front of him, Zhang Qishan's expression turned solemn.

The tomb gave him a strange feeling.

The old miners said that there were many terrifying things in this tomb, and that people would encounter what they feared most. But they arrived here without any danger.

The old miner was also from the Central Plains and wouldn't lie to him about important matters concerning Riku himself.

Then there's only one possibility: the most dangerous things are concentrated in the actual tomb chamber.

Perhaps you'll encounter it after opening this door!

"That's right, this is the place." Fang Yun nodded, feeling a little excited.

If I remember correctly, the real tomb is not far away.

Meteorite, Xiangzu Book... I'm almost there!

"Master Fang."

Like Zhang Qishan, Huo Sanniang had a solemn expression and pointed to the two doors in front of her.

"Both doors have words written on their lintels, one for life and the other for death. They should be the doors of life and death, but for some reason, the words for life and death are directly displayed."

"Should we open the door to life?"

"Do not."

Fang Yun shook his head slightly and glanced at the two stone doors.

We have to take the dead end!

"The Gate of Death?!"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Huo San Niang and Zhang Qishan were both startled, their faces showing confusion.

They've visited quite a few tombs and have some knowledge of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

They had all encountered similar situations before, and they knew they had to choose the "life gate" (生门).

However, in the past, one had to calculate the Gate of Life and Death oneself, but this Gate of Life and Death directly marks life and death, so they dare not make a judgment.

..... ...... .......

Fang Yun nodded affirmatively and said:

"This is indeed the Gate of Life and Death, but this place is also the Eye of Yin and Yang."

"I see!"

Just as Fang Yun was about to explain to Zhang Qishan and Huo Sanniang, Qi Tiezui exclaimed and jumped up from the ground.

"The Tai Chi symbol represents Yin and Yang, where Yin gives rise to Yang and Yang flourishes at Yin. Yin and Yang reverse each other, and life and death are reversed!"

"We haven't escaped the maze yet. This is the final stage of the Sixty-Four Hexagrams Formation. The Gate of Life is the Gate of Death, and the Gate of Death is the Gate of Life!"

"We can only get out of the maze by going through the death gate. If we go through the life gate, we might encounter a trap left by the tomb owner, or we might end up back in the previous maze-like tomb chamber!"

"Eighth Master is right. Every position must be calculated according to the current location."

Fang Yun glanced at Qi Tiezui, feeling a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).

Indeed, all methods lead to the same goal. Anyone with genuine divination skills can become a Feng Shui master simply by changing their profession slightly.

Of course... for him, there's no need for that.

Is everything going to be bad?

He has mastered all five arts of metaphysics: immortality, medicine, divination, physiognomy, and destiny!

"I see!"

Zhang Qishan and Huo Sanniang both nodded in understanding.

Although there are still some things I don't understand, it doesn't matter.

Both the tomb raider and the fortune teller in the team said so, so this must be the right way to go.

Chapter 210 The Azure-Clad Crow Lord!

After replenishing their food and water on the spot, the team prepared to set off.

"Click..."

The stone door wasn't very heavy, and Zhang Qishan and his adjutant easily pushed it open.

The light from the ever-burning lamp pierced the darkness, revealing the scene behind the stone gate to everyone.

It wasn't as eerie and terrifying as I had imagined, nor was it a hidden trap.

The first thing you see is a warm tomb passage, filled with ever-burning lamps. The passage is long, and at the end of your line of sight is a corner.

"Indeed, this is the gate to life!"

Qi Tiezui grinned and glanced at the word "death" on the stone beam.

In a typical dead end, pushing the door will trigger a mechanism.

"Of course it's the exit; why would I walk into a trap?"

Fang Yun pursed his lips and walked into the passage without thinking.

With such a treasure right in front of him, he couldn't wait any longer.

Seeing Fang Yun's actions, the rest of the group, "five, six, seven," hurriedly followed suit.

................................

After walking about a hundred steps and turning two corners, the group arrived at the new tomb chamber.

This is the actual entrance hall to the main tomb chamber!

The main burial chamber entrance is much larger than the Bagua Formation entrance, and it looks about half the size of a basketball court.

The entire tomb chamber is octagonal in shape, with a stone platform just over a meter high in the center. On the platform stands a large stone tablet covered with inscriptions.

The ground around the stone platform was hollowed out and divided into two areas in the shape of a yin-yang symbol.

There were stone pillars on one side and a small pool on the other, with many fluorescent crystals that were quite bright in the pool.

"That's it... this is the place!"

Upon seeing the tomb chamber, Fang Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He had been worried that he would forget the plot and take the wrong turn.

Without much thought, Fang Yun quickly stepped over the stone platform and arrived at the other side of the tomb chamber.

On the tomb wall opposite the entrance, there is an arched doorway.

Looking through the archway, you can see two huge chains embedded in the rock beneath the arched doorway, suspended in the air and disappearing into the darkness.

Although Fang Yun possessed night vision, the chain was simply too long, and he couldn't see what was at the end.

However, what can be seen is a small lake beneath the chains, with a faint fluorescent glow emanating from the bottom.

If the group wanted to pass through the doorway and go straight to the center of the main burial chamber, they had to climb the chains and walk along them, because the chains were a bridge suspended over the lake.

"Is this the main burial chamber?"

"What a huge entrance hall! This must be the main burial chamber!"

While Fang Yun was observing the main tomb chamber, Zhang Qishan and Huo Sanniang led their team into the entrance hall.

Seeing Fang Yun staring at a doorway, the two of them quickly walked up to it.

"Brother Fang, this is the entrance hall. The main character should be just ahead, right?"

"Yes, it's just ahead!" Fang Yun replied excitedly without turning his head after hearing Zhang Qishan's words.

"Then let's go in right away!"

Zhang Qishan and Huo Sanniang's eyes lit up.

After a whole day of travel, we've finally reached the crucial point.

"Eighth Master...Eighth Master!"

Just then, Zhang's adjutant called out from behind.
