Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Chen Yulou nodded slightly.

Turning to Partridge Whistle, he said, "Brother Yang, then I, Chen, will take my leave first."

See you at the Crescent Hotel.

After Partridge Whistle clasped his hands in agreement, he and Red Girl left.

.........

After the two had gone far away,

Zhou Nanbei looked at Partridge Whistle and the others and said, "Let's go."

It's time for us to set off.

Everyone agreed and headed towards the Fishbone Temple.

…………

Noon.

On the hilltop behind the Fishbone Temple, Zhou Nanbei and his group arrived.

Fatty Wang looked at Hu Bayi:

"Old Hu, let's show it to you."

Let's see where we should dig.

Before Hu Bayi could speak, Partridge Whistle interrupted:

"Right here where we are standing."

Fatty Wang raised an eyebrow:

"You, sir, also know the art of dragon-finding and gold-grabbing?"

He pointed at Hu Bayi as he spoke.

"Then please don't try to teach someone what you're capable of. What if you're wrong?"

That would be embarrassing.

My brother inherited the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique created by Zhang Sanlianzi, a legendary figure from the late Qing Dynasty.

Although it's only half a book,

But at least he has formal training, unlike you self-taught individuals.

Partridge Whistle rolled his eyes at Fatty Wang: "Show some respect for the elderly."

His sixteen-character Yin-Yang secret technique is indeed quite good.

But my secret to finding the dragon and the gold,

It may not be weaker than his legacy.

Before Fatty Wang could say anything more, Zhou Nanbei interrupted him.

"Alright, Fatty,"

Speaking of which, Lao Hu and Partridge Whistle, you two are from the same school. Zhang Sanlianzi took in four apprentices back then.

Among them, the Flying Lion later became a monk.

The Buddha's name is "Liaochen".

In other words, Partridge Whistle remembers his master, while Hu Bayi belongs to Sun Guofu's lineage.

Old Hu's grandfather was his apprentice.

The lineage ended with Old Hu's father, but Old Hu himself picked it up again. So, in the end, Partridge Whistle still belongs to Old Hu.

Senior members of the sect.

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang was startled, then looked at Hu Bayi and chuckled:

"Old Hu,

"Did you hear that? If we trace this back to your grandfather's generation, you're already at his level. Go and call someone right now!"

finished,

Ignoring the speechless Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang grinned and approached Partridge Whistle.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Oh, sir."

I never knew we had this connection. Could you give me a tomb raiding charm to wear?

Partridge Whistle gave Fatty Wang a disgruntled look:

"You're really shameless."

He then looked at Hu Bayi and said, "I never imagined we had such a connection."

Back then, my master kept silent about it.

"You seem to know quite a bit about who the patriarch is. When we get back, we'll have to have a good chat about it."

Hu Bayi nodded.

He replied politely, "Of course, I'm also very curious about the Dragon Seeking Technique."

Partridge Whistle looked at Hu Bayi with amusement and nodded.

He thought to himself,

It's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together. To be able to call this Fatty Wang brother is truly remarkable.

It seems we both have thick skin.

At this moment, Zhou Nanbei spoke up: "We've talked enough."

It's time to get down to business.

There's no need to dig anymore. We'll be meeting the oxen and us soon, so digging would be impolite.

I've already sensed it with my spatial powers; the entrance is below. I'll take you down.

He left behind a sentence,

"Don't resist."

With a wave of his hand, everyone vanished from the spot.

next moment,

Inside the tomb, on a winding stone staircase that seemed to stretch endlessly, the group appeared out of thin air.

After everyone had regained their footing,

Sheng Sheng Man then spoke: "Little Nanbei,"

Where are we?

Zhou Nanbei briefly recalled and then said:

"The Suspended Staircase"

Before Sheng Shengman could ask another question, Hu Bayi exclaimed:

"The Suspended Staircase?"

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "Not bad, the Suspended Soul Ladder."

But it's not difficult for me.

let's go."

As he spoke, he walked downwards, with Sheng Shengman following closely behind.

"Little Nanbei,

What is the "Suspended Staircase"?

Zhou Nanbei explained with a smile: "The so-called Suspended Soul Ladder..."

There are actually modern explanations as well.

This explanation refers to the Möbius strip, meaning an infinite loop, or something without end.

Sheng Sheng Man nodded slightly:

"I see,

How do we get out of here?

Zhou Nanbei chuckled lightly: "Just find the corresponding node."

This kind of organization is difficult to manage.

It's not difficult, really. For example, take a strip of paper and twist it into a circle.

At the interfaces at both ends,

By rotating and reversing the attachment, a Möbius strip can be formed, and at any point within it,

Find the two points that intersect most closely.

Then you can go down to escape the Möbius strip, which is the suspended staircase beneath our feet.

Sheng Sheng Man nodded slightly.

"This is truly eye-opening; I never imagined our ancestors..."

They already knew this a thousand years ago.

"That's something like a Möbius strip."

Hu Bayi frowned and said, "Young Master Zhou,"

Is this "Suspended Staircase" different from what you described?

Zhou Nanbei did not turn around.

After chuckling lightly, he finally spoke: "Nonsense, the Möbius strip is a term used abroad."

our country

Nature has its own unique characteristics.

The Suspended Staircase here was built during the Western Zhou Dynasty using the principles of divination.

The concept originates from the Tao,

One begets two, which are yin and yang.

Later, Yin and Yang evolved into the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols into the Eight Trigrams, and the Eight Trigrams further underwent changes, resulting in the Sixty-Four Hexagrams.

Each hexagram has six lines.

Ultimately, it resulted in 384 hexagrams.

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi's eyes lit up:

"Young Master Zhou,"

I understand, there are 384 stone steps here.

And wanting to get out

We need to find the key point through the divination, according to the saying that the tomb represents life and death.

This corresponds to Yin and Yang.

The Qian hexagram represents the starting point, so the exit should be the Kun hexagram.

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Nanbei.

"Young Master Zhou, am I right?"

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly and then shook his head: "Yes and no."

The reason why it is correct is

It's because you're talking about the exit, and we're currently on the Suspended Staircase, trying to get to the exit.

We need to get out there first.

Sheng Shengman chuckled softly and said, "The Kun hexagram..."

It is the hexagram of "困" (Kun).

Zhou Nanbei said with admiration, "Sister Man is intelligent."

That's the Kun hexagram.

He stopped walking as he spoke.

"This is it."

With that, he waved his hand and moved everyone to the exit of the stone steps below. Once everyone was steady,

Looking at the tomb entrance in front of him,

And the stone steps behind me were quite awe-inspiring.

Zhou Nanbei also took out the Fragrant Jade.

Li Mingda stepped out from among them.

After taking in his surroundings, Li Mingda said with a grin, "Young master, you've come to my house!"

As soon as this word comes out,

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and Zhou Nanbei said irritably:

"Si Zi,

Don't talk nonsense. What kind of person are you, treating a tomb like your home?

Sizi scratched his head.

"Sizi wasn't wrong. The tomb is the home after death."

After this place is built,

They even visited it.

Zhou Nanbei couldn't help but twitch his lips, but he chuckled softly and said, "Little Nanbei,"

Sizi was right.

The ancients placed great importance on proper burial after death, especially since Si Zi was a princess.

Zhou Nanbei waved his hand slightly:

"Let's stop talking and keep moving forward."

Saying that he would take the lead,

They walked towards the tomb chamber door.

.........

A moment later,

The group arrived in front of a huge stone coffin.

Fatty Wang looked at Li Mingda and said:

"Little princess,"

Is this where you're lying on the board?

Li Mingda glared angrily at Fatty Wang and said:

"You're bad."

He then explained, "This is from the Western Zhou Dynasty, meaning that the person who was buried here was from the Sizi burial site."

The coffins of our predecessors.

However, it was empty; the coffin inside had long since been moved elsewhere.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Guided by Li Mingda, they headed straight for the Underworld Palace.

Along the way, with Li Mingda's guidance, they obtained a brass pen.
