Chapter 59: The River Chart Symbol

  The next day when I got up, the outside was still quiet. Sheteng and I called Huahe Shang to go out for a walk together. We saw that there were more and more burial mounds here, and more and more of them were exposed.

  "Who did you say was so powerful that they needed to be buried with so many people?" I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, judging from the number of burial mounds, there were at least tens of thousands of people buried with them...

  "I don't know either, the real tomb chamber hasn't been found yet, only the burial mound has been found, I'm afraid we'll have to stay here for a long time." Shitian was just as perplexed as me.

  "I've been to so many places, but I've never stayed this long!" I looked at Hua and Shang who were smoking a cigarette and blowing out smoke rings with an indignant look on their faces. If I wasn't familiar with them, they would have scared me to death.

  "I don't even know what's hidden in this tomb." I sighed, and the three of us just kept staring at those workers...

  "Zihe big brother, I feel like these burial mounds seem a bit strange..."

  "What? Did you find something?" Listening to Shitian's tone, it seemed like he had discovered something, and I saw him staring at the burial mounds without saying a word. Hua and I were quietly watching him from the side.

  "I...I don't know, but I think I just saw something." Sheng Teng's words almost made me want to kick him. "I also found something, but I forgot too." Sheng Teng heard that I was teasing him and gritted his teeth: "Zi Chuan big brother, I really did discover something, I really forgot!"

  "Alright, alright, I believe you, okay, think carefully." Seeing Shitian's wronged expression, I was also afraid. When we returned to the tent, he kept telling me that he really found something...

  After a few more days, Shitian seemed to want to prove something to me, running out every day to look at those burial mounds... Of course, I was also dragged along by him. Today was the same, I stood aside smoking, while he stared very carefully...

  "Haha! Brother Zikawa! I've found it! Look, those burial mounds aren't they very regular!" Shengteng exclaimed and jumped up to pat me on the back.

  "Shi Teng... you should know that your brother Zi Chuan is not in good health, he can't withstand a slap from you like this." He slapped too hard, I looked at him sideways.

  "Ah, sorry about that. Brother Zikawa, take a look! I stared at those grave mounds and indeed found a pattern! The positions of the accompanying burial mounds connected together seem to form a square, what does this imply?"

  "Hmm, it seems like there's a pattern, what else did you figure out?"

  "Tell Captain Luo to get an aerial photo, that way we can see it." Seeing Shitian still had a bit of a happy expression, I and he ran to find Captain Luo.

  "Captain Luo, is there any way you can take an aerial shot from above to capture the distribution of those tomb mounds?" Now it's all up to Shitian.

  "What? Have you found something?"

  "Let's take a look first." Captain Luo immediately walked out, and Shitian and I sat in the tent waiting. After a while, Captain Luo came back with a roll of photos, "Here, take a look." Captain Luo spread the photos on the table.

  "This...this is so strange." Captain Luo also saw the distribution of these burial mounds, and indeed felt a strong sense of regularity, but this regularity was inexplicable, with a peculiarly wonderful distribution, and the numbers were increasing one by one.

  "Can you see anything?" I looked at Shi Teng who was staring carefully at this photo.

  "This feels so familiar... it seems to be related to Feng Shui, let's go ask Tang Qi." "Shi Teng said this is related to Feng Shui?" I and he don't understand, can only find Tang Qi. Luo Team Leader heard and ran to find Tang Qi.

  "I'll take a look." I saw Tang Qi being brought over by Captain Luo and staring directly at the photo. "This... this is the River Chart Symbol!" I saw that Tang Qi also seemed to be excited as he shouted out loud.

  "Ah! Right, it seems like the River Chart symbol!" Lian Shengteng also said...

  "He Tu... what is He Tu?" I don't understand anything at all.

  "Whenever the River Chart is mentioned, it must be paired with the Luo Book. According to legend, these two books are auspicious gifts from heaven. In ancient times, during the reign of Fu Xi, a dragon horse emerged from the Yellow River in Mengjin County, northeast of Luoyang, carrying the "River Chart" on its back and presenting it to Fu Xi. Fu Xi used this to create the Eight Trigrams. During the time of Yu the Great, a divine turtle emerged from the Luo River in Luoning County, west of Luoyang, carrying the "Luo Book" on its back and presenting it to Yu. These two books are the source of China's I Ching Eight Trigrams!" Tang carefully adjusted his eyes and spoke slowly...

  "I know... I know where that tomb is!" Hearing Tang's news, we all relaxed a lot. After lingering here for so long, there was finally some progress.

  "Where did you say it was?" Captain Luo became even more excited,

  "Look, these burial mounds are arranged according to the River Chart diagram. North: one white dot inside, six black dots outside, representing the Xuanwu star symbol, five elements of water. East: three white dots inside, eight black dots outside, representing the Qinglong star symbol, five elements of wood. South: two black dots inside, seven white dots outside, representing the Zhuque star symbol, five elements of fire. West: four black dots inside, nine white dots outside, representing the Baitu star symbol, five elements of metal. And in the center should be five white dots inside, ten black dots outside, representing the time-space wonder point, five elements of earth. According to this photo, dig towards this point!" Tang Qi finally got to the point after talking for half a day.

  "Ah! Alright, I'll go call them to dig over here right away!" Captain Luo took the photo and ran out, I saw Tang Qi still seemed to be entranced by the river map. "Inconceivable, inconceivable, I'm getting more and more curious about who the owner of this tomb is!", Tang Qi was also too infatuated.

  "Tang Qi, are you okay?" I was a bit worried about him, looking at him like that.

  "Haha, I'm fine, it's just that I've never seen anyone arrange their own tomb with a river map pattern before, it's too amazing."

  "It's okay, Subei, he's just too infatuated with that aspect." Shitian wasn't worried about Tang Qi...

  "Let's go, let's take a look." I also want to see how different this river map is. The three of us went out and walked towards that time node, all the staff had gathered here, I saw them slowly digging this land, it was already over one meter deep, we stood on top and stared down.

  "Be careful!" I shouted, because the soil seemed to be sinking down, this feeling was like an earthquake, we were all unstable on top, it shook for a while before disappearing, when we got up and looked, the pit below had been shaken open very wide, but those people were buried again!

  "Save people quickly!" Captain Luo became tense, this time no one can die again. Fortunately, it was just over a meter and not quicksand! I and Shiteng also joined the team to dig with our hands to rescue people. After a while, we dug out those few people, fortunately, they could still be saved. Those few people were taken away for emergency treatment. The project stopped temporarily.

  "Dig! Keep digging!" Tang Qi kept shouting beside him like a madman, but Captain Luo didn't react for a moment. He didn't dare to joke about human lives anymore. But Tang Qi himself took the shovel and jumped down to continue digging.

  "Tan Qi! Come up quickly!" Seeing this scene, I felt that he had really gone mad! I jumped down to pull him up, but he kept digging with his shovel and even pushed me to the ground. "Li Zichuan, believe me, if we keep digging, what we want will come out!"

  "Believe me! I don't know why I have this feeling!", what should I do... Looking at Tang Qi's appearance, since I couldn't pull him away, should I go up myself? No, I can't do that.

  "Shi Teng, throw down a shovel for me!" I shouted at the person above, and then saw Shi Teng also jump down and hand me the shovel. "You...I just asked you to throw down the shovel! Why did you come down too?!"

  "Whatever Brother Zikawa wants to do, I'll follow him absolutely." Shiteng didn't say much either and started digging... This, this pair

  The scenery is missing a Ze Hong...

  "Alright! Let's dig together!" The three of us continued digging into the soil!

  "Ah! I've dug it up! Look! I've dug it up!" I saw Tang Qi throw away his shovel and kneel on the ground, continuously digging at the mud. Slowly, a stone-like thing appeared, very hard and flat.

  As we saw this thing come out, the three of us threw away the mud around it, and a large stone slab slowly appeared, looking like a road... could it be?

  "Captain Luo! Quickly use the machine to remove all the mud in front!" If what's underfoot is a road, then what's ahead must be the entrance to the tomb!

  "Alright! You go first!", we pulled Tang Qi up, and the excavator continued to dig out the mud.

  "Halt!" Captain Luo shouted, and the excavator stopped. It was because a hole had appeared below, but we couldn't see what it was. We jumped down again, and I reached my hand into the hole. There was nothing inside, but I felt that the space was still quite large, only blocked by the mud on the side. I kicked with my foot, and all the mud collapsed, revealing a stone door about one person high!

  "Don't go in yet!" I pulled back Tang Qi, feeling that he had lost his mind and was walking in, we still didn't know what was inside. "Captain Luo! Look at this hole!" Captain Luo jumped down with us.

  "Li Zichuan! Believe me, this hole is the way to the tomb inside!", I feel Tang Qi's strength getting bigger and almost breaking free from my hands, fortunately Sheng Teng is on the side pulling together with me.

  "Let me go! I didn't cheat you!" But he still struggled on.

  "Captain Luo, let's go in and take a look first," I really didn't know what was inside that made Tang Qi so persistent, and I started to waver too.

  "This..."

  "Ah! Tang Qi is back!", Captain Luo was still hesitating when Tang Qi suddenly broke free from our hands and ran inside. What are we supposed to do now?

  "Zihe big brother! I'll go catch him first!", Shitian left me with this sentence and ran in before I could even react.

  "Go!", I was about to chase in, but was held back by Captain Luo. "Alright, but you let them hurry up! Inside is my brother, I can't let him go in alone!", I also broke free from Captain Luo's hand and ran in.
