Chapter 8: Qi Collaterals Shocking the Gate

  The distance from there to the nearest Jīn Dōu Zi was slightly slower than Peng Tianyuan's feeling, but the perception between the two was only in the last moment.

  But it is precisely this subtle difference in perception that distinguishes the heavenly and earthly aspects of Feng Shui, which is why Peng Tianrang previously praised Jin Douzi's unconventional approach to Feng Shui.

  But what's important now is not to discuss the pros and cons of the two people, but that these two people simultaneously felt that at the "surprise gate" position where Jin Douzi and others dug, the change in the pulse seems to be extremely unusual. This is like before an earthquake, some places will appear abnormal, the situation here has also changed, this change can only be felt by the two of them who understand Feng Shui and pulse.

  Peng Tianrui pulled Jiang Yingshui back and shouted to Cha Qian and the others: "Second brother! Tell all brothers to retreat at least thirty steps, quickly!"

  Jiang Yunshui, who was being pulled away, felt the strength of Peng Tianyang's hand on his arm and could also hear the urgency in Peng Tianyang's voice. Jiang Yunshui knew that something was about to happen, and since Peng Tianyang studied Feng Shui, this change must be related to it.

  Jiang Fengshui and his group left in a hurry, but they did so in an extremely orderly fashion. In no time at all, the first of them had already moved more than ten steps away from their original location.

  The golden helmet on the other side also changed color and shouted at Pang San Ye: "Hurry up and get people to leave here, this place is no longer safe!"

  Jin Douzi finished speaking and didn't care about others, he himself quickly ran away. Pang San Ye heard Jin Douzi's shout and saw that the person had already run off, so he also loudly shouted to everyone "Quickly run!" and then he himself started running with his fat body shaking.

  The people around saw the two of them and ran away, who didn't want to escape for their lives. As a result, the dozens of people gathered here became a swarm, and those who were knocked down were not in the minority.

  Those who were digging the hole also heard the cries and shouts outside, but it was not easy for them to escape from the already deep hole. Inside, several people pulled and pulled each other, refusing to give in, even wanting to trample on each other's heads and shoulders to rush out.

  These few people were closest to the entrance of the cave and ran out first. He kept running back and forth, shouting towards the cave: "Dad! Run faster!"

  It's just that the hole was a slanted one, with several people in charge of different areas inside. His father is now at the very back, responsible for digging soil. At this point, it's too late to run away, and just as he closed his eyes waiting for death, a loud roar like a massive ferocious beast buried underground came from the spot that Jin Douzi had identified as the "Surprise Gate".

  However, there were no ferocious beasts underground, but because the aura of the ground had changed, the sound seemed as if some ferocious beast was howling.

  Then the entire ground rolled up, looking like a big wave had risen there. The few people inside didn't even have time to shout before they were buried in it. But this change hadn't ended yet. As the earth waves rolled more and more violently, with a loud "boom", all the mud, stone, and soil layers seemed to be pushed up by some invisible force, all rushing towards the sky. The scene was majestic, leaving those who witnessed it an unforgettable memory for life.

  Jiang Yingshui and others, who had already run thirty steps away, were all looking back at that place with their heads raised. Peng Tianyong muttered to himself: "What a magnificent dragon rising into the sky! What a wonderful surprise!"

  And the first to escape, Jīn Dōu Zi, has now also run to a safe place. He turned around and looked at the "Surprise Gate" he had chosen, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead. He thought to himself that if he hadn't felt the sudden change in the wind and air currents, he would probably have lost his life here.

  Pang San Ye also escaped with a roll and crawl, followed by his adopted son. After arriving at Jin Dou Zi's place, Pang San Ye was so exhausted that he couldn't speak, but only pointed at Jin Dou Zi with a trembling fat finger. On the other hand, Pang San Ye's adopted son didn't say a word, looking very deep and strategic.

  As the people he had spent a lot of money to invite gradually escaped from that place, Pang San Ye finally calmed down and scolded Jin Dou Zi loudly: "You damn cheat, you've blinded my eyes! You let this piece of dog shit harm me. If I don't chop you up and feed you to the dogs today, my surname is not Pang!"

  Pang San Ye cursed as he reached for the knife at his waist, but his adopted son quickly grabbed his arm and said: "Father, don't let those people from Haoziying laugh at us. Besides, we still have one last gamble with them, and this matter can't be settled without Mr. Jincouzhi."

  Pang San Ye turned his head and glared at his adopted son, then resentfully re-sheathed the knife that had already been pulled out halfway. He didn't even glance at Jin Dou Zi, but instead fixed a furious stare on the spot where earth and rocks were still spewing out nonstop.

  Peng Tianyao looked at the place and said, "The master of this tomb is indeed formidable. It seems that this person has grasped the essence of that book and actually understands how to use the veins of energy to set up the formation."

  "What's this all about?" asked Zhou Futong.

  Peng Tianyong thought for a moment and said: "The air vein is originally an intangible thing, but after years of accumulation, it will also produce some physical forms. This is what is called 'dragon rhyme' in Feng Shui. Once the dragon rhyme appears, the air vein of this place has a few real dragon veins. And because this place has dragon rhyme, using this dragon rhyme to create a fake surprise gate is much easier. Moreover, this dragon rhyme is gathered by the air vein, so if someone destroys the Feng Shui and the direction of the air vein, it's like burying explosives, just waiting for the key to ignite."

  "Looks like it was that Golden Helmet who disrupted the feng shui energy flow earlier, which led to this situation."

  Peng Tianyao said, "It's not entirely like that. If I hadn't arrived a few days early to observe this place, I'm afraid I would have also thought that the location of Long Yun was the real entrance to the Surprising Gate. So no matter what Jin Touzi does, as long as he breaks ground, it will destroy the feng shui and the direction of the qi in that area, and the place where Long Yun is located will explode. If I hadn't thought it was strange at the time and chosen a different location, perhaps the people buried underground now would be my Haoshu Camp."

  At least half an hour passed like this before the place finally gradually calmed down and nothing was seen spewing out anymore.

  The crowd relit the torches and approached, previously someone had already explored and told everyone about the detailed situation there, but after seeing it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but sigh.

  That place has now expanded into a huge deep pit, the size of which is roughly equivalent to two or three rooms of a rich man's main house. From inside this deep pit, there is constantly a cold wind blowing out, making people's hair stand on end.

  Someone tried throwing a stone into the cave, and it took four or five breaths for the stone to finally make a dull thud from below.

  Pang San's face was ashen as he stared at the deep pit, while Jin Douzi beside him also looked worried. This time, not only had his reward disappeared, but it was possible that after leaving this place, he would lose his life as well. Jin Douzi wasn't without thoughts of running away, but Pang San wasn't someone to be trifled with either - he had already arranged for people to keep an eye on Jin Douzi. Moreover, the path they took to enter this place also had Pang San's men stationed there, so now Jin Douzi could only follow along with a bitter face.

  Jiang Fengshui also looked at the deep hole with the light of the torch, and the dark and profound cave always gave Jiang Fengshui a feeling that something terrible was about to rush out. In fact, not only he had this feeling, but also Pang San's adopted son felt uncomfortable looking at the hole.

  However, many people in this place have experienced such a feeling, even if it is the people of Zhang Qian's consumption camp who were invited by Pang San at a high price. When they did that tomb raid for the first time, they were also scared by the dark and unknown places, and some people even urinated their pants at the time.

  Peng Tianrui glanced at Jiang Yunshui and said, "It's not time to be afraid yet. When you go in alone, that's when you'll truly experience what it means to be afraid."

  Jiang Yunshui already felt a chill down his spine, and now that Peng Tianyang had said it, he became even more uneasy. Peng Tianyang didn't continue speaking, actually he just gave Jiang Yunshui a heads up in advance.

  As everyone watched, the thief cave that Peng Tianyao had chosen as the location of the "Surprise Gate" was almost complete, and the entire tunnel slanted downward for a distance of nearly ten meters.

  As the progress was rapid, people around the pit began to gather towards that direction. After all, the second round was won by Huozigang, and if they wanted to compare the third round, they had to enter from the tunnel dug by Huozigang.

  Jiang Yunshui stood beside the cave, taking deep breaths nonstop. Subconsciously, he reached out to touch the "Haozi Fu" that Peng Tianyang had given him, as if holding onto it could bring him a little comfort.

  Pang San's adopted son, Du Zhong, was also anxious. He is now with Jin Douzi, who has been instructing him on the matters inside. However, the more Jin Douzi spoke, the more uneasy Du Zhong felt in his heart, because what Jin Douzi said was too mysterious, making Du Zhong suspect that this person was taking advantage of himself to gain some benefit. But looking at Jin Douzi's sincere eyes, Du Zhong couldn't be sure if the old man was deceiving him or really meant what he said.

  Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a person emerged from the tunnel dug at Hua Ziying and said to Cha Qian: "Second brother, it's opened inside, just wait for the oil to be extracted (the tunnel has been connected, we can go down and get the treasure)."

  Zha Qian said to Pang San: "Let's scout ahead first."

  Pang San Ye then called up a few people he had invited himself and followed Cha Qian and the others into the cave.
