Old Hu looked at it for a while, then turned around and asked Xiang Qian and Fatty.
"Look, what does the moon look like when it's together with this Lecture Mountain?”
"Like what?"
Fatty expressed that he couldn't tell.
Old Hu ignored him and continued,"Do you still remember? Yingzi said that this Dead Man's Valley was not called Dead Man's Valley in the past, but Baoyue Valley. These two mountains were like two arms hugging the moon, forming a geomancy pattern of surrounding the mountains and hugging the moon. Therefore, there must be a big tomb here. Of course, it was not qualified to be an imperial tomb, but it was still acceptable as a tomb of a noble.”
"Does that mean we're going to be rich this time? If we find the tomb, your comrades 'families and the villagers of Oxheart Mountain will be able to live a good life!”
Fatty hugged Old Hu excitedly. Old Hu pushed Fatty away and said.
"Let's go back and rest first. We'll look for the tomb entrance tomorrow morning.”
Xiang Qian nodded in agreement, and the four of them went back to sleep.
The next day, Old Hu took out the compass early in the morning and planned to find the entrance to the ancient tomb. In the end, he was stopped by Xiang Qian who walked over.
"Old Hu, let me do it. I'm better at dividing the gold and fixing the acupoints.”As he spoke, Xiang Qian took out his compass and measured it for a while. He pointed to a spot on the ground and said,"The entrance to the tomb is here."
Fatty was stunned as he watched from the side. He asked Old Hu,"Old Hu, is Lord Xiang okay? That compass can find the tomb?"
Old Hu turned around and explained to Fatty," Lord Xiang used the ultimate skill of the Gold Hunting Officer. Dividing gold to fix acupoints. It's very accurate. It can directly find the entrance to the tomb."”
"Then what are we waiting for?" Fatty shouted. Digging! Lord Xiang, get up. I'll dig!" As he spoke, Fatty came to the place Xiang Qian pointed at with an engineer shovel and was about to dig.
At this moment, Yingzi, who was not far away, screamed and fell into a pit.
Xiang Qian and the other two ran over when they heard the sound. They saw that it was a side tomb path dug by a group of grave robbers.
"Shall we go down?" Fatty asked.
Xiang Qian stopped the fat man and said,"But if you don't fight back at midnight, you won't touch gold when the rooster crows and the lamp goes out." Let's pull Yingzi up first."
Fatty did not understand what Xiang Qian meant and asked Old Hu,""Sigh, Old Hu, what did Lord Xiang mean by saying that you don't fight until midnight, and that you don't touch gold when the rooster crows and the lamp goes out? Does it have anything to do with us going to the tomb?"
"Lord Xiang is talking about the rules of the gold looting officer. If you don't fight until midnight, you can't go down to the tomb until midnight. There were two meanings to the saying," when the rooster crows, the lamp goes out, the gold is not touched ". It meant that one could not do anything after the rooster crowed. If the lamp was extinguished, then the gold-looting officers had to light a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb before they touched the funerary objects. If the candle was not extinguished, it meant that they could take the funerary objects out. If the candle went out, it meant that the tomb owner did not agree. At this time, he had to put back the funerary objects he had touched, and then respectfully kowtow three times to leave the tomb. This meant that the tomb owner did not agree to the gold-looting officers touching his funerary objects. This was also a kind of contract between the living and the dead. Otherwise, something incredible would happen. If you want to be a gold-looting captain, remember all these.”
Old Hu explained the rules of the gold-looting officer to Fatty.
After saying that, the three of them took out ropes and pulled Yingzi up. At noon, Old Hu and the other two began to sleep after eating. They were ready to go to the tomb at night, while Xiang Qian continued to meditate and cultivate.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xiang Qian, who was meditating, opened his eyes and woke up the three people who were still sleeping soundly.
"Sigh, get up. It's time. We should prepare to enter the tomb.”
Xiang Qian woke the three of them up. The four of them ate some of the roasted meat left over from lunch and packed their things.
Old Hu looked at his watch and said," It's eleven o'clock. Let's go down. Yingzi, wait for us upstairs. It's too dangerous inside."”
"No, I want to go down with you too. I'm afraid of being up there myself.”
Xiang Qian saw that Old Hu heard Yingzi's words and wanted to persuade Yingzi to stay on top, so he said,"Alright, Old Hu, let Yingzi go down. It's indeed not safe for a little girl like her to be up there alone.”
Old Hu listened to Xiang Qian's words and felt that it made sense, so he agreed to Yingzi follow him into the tomb.
The four of them followed the rope down to the tomb hole. Xiang Qian walked at the front and found that the tomb door in front had already been opened. After entering the tomb door, it was not the ear chamber of the ancient tomb, nor the tomb passage, but an underground fortress.
"This should be the Guandong Army Fortress. I didn't expect the Guandong Army Fortress to be built in an ancient tomb.”
Xiang Qian continued to walk in. The four of them walked around the fortress for a while and found many weapons that had not been used. Old Hu and the other two each took two guns and the corresponding ammunition for self-defense. Xiang Qian also took a pistol and stuck it behind his waist. Then, he took some corresponding magazines and put them in his pocket.
The four of them changed their weapons and continued to walk in. However, they did not find the entrance to the tomb after walking through the fortress.
Xiang Qian and the others walked to the stone wall at the end of the fortress and knocked on the surrounding stone walls. Thump! Dong!"
"This place is empty. The tomb should be behind it.”
After saying that, Xiang Qian stretched out two fingers of his right hand and stabbed them into the stone wall.
"Ah!"
Yingzi was so frightened that she closed her eyes. When Fatty saw this, he wanted to go forward and stop Xiang Qian.
"Mr. Xiang, the tomb is at the back, but you can't stick your finger in it, right? Don't you want your fingers anymore?"
Old Hu grabbed Fatty from behind and said," Don't make trouble. Lord Xiang is using Heavenly Official Fa Qiu's ultimate skill. He's using two fingers to probe holes. Lord Xiang's two fingers can even pierce through iron plates."”
When Fatty heard Old Hu's words, he immediately withdrew his tongue.
Xiang Qian used his finger to poke a hole in the stone wall. When he realized that there was iron behind the stone wall, he pulled out his finger and took out the God-Slaying Halberd from the weapon box on his back. He began to smash the wall. Bang! Bang!" The stone wall was smashed down by the money, revealing a large iron gate behind the stone wall.
Old Hu and the other two saw the big iron gate and walked over.
Xiang Qian and Old Hu searched the door but did not find any traps. They asked Old Hu and the others to retreat. They carefully pushed open a gap and then took out a firefly stick from their backpack and threw it in. Xiang Qian looked behind the door through the gap and found that there was nothing dangerous, so he pushed the door open with force.
When Old Hu and the other two saw that Xiang Qian had pushed the door open, they knew that there was no danger, so they walked over and entered the tomb door with Xiang Qian.
