Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 305 Feng Shui Arrangement
The mysterious disappearance of the scientific expedition team twenty years ago has captivated the attention of many.

To this day, very few people know the truth about what happened back then, or the whereabouts of the survivors.

However, for various reasons, they are not prepared to tell the relevant people about these things.

At the very least, it's far from possible right now.

Seeing that Hu Ming was unwilling to reveal any more information about the website, Wu Xie could only sigh helplessly.

He took out two bronze snake-browed fish that he always carried with him from his pocket and rubbed them carefully in his hands, his brows furrowing deeply.

"That's not right, Uncle Ming. We got information from the underwater tomb that there are three fish in total."

"Twenty years ago, my third uncle brought one out of an underwater tomb, and recently we brought one out of the Lu King's Palace. There's still no trace of a third one. How can you be so sure that the person who left this message doesn't have any fish?"

"Furthermore, if the Snake-Eyed Bronze Fish really was left behind by Wang Zanghai, why did one of them appear in an ancient tomb from the Warring States period? What secrets lie behind this?"

Wu Xie, still somewhat unwilling, pressed on with the question.

Now that things have come to this, the snake-browed bronze fish is the only clue he can find that is related to the missing Wu Sansheng, so of course he is unwilling to give up so easily.

"...You're such a curious person! People who use their brains are such a hassle, your thirst for knowledge is just too strong."

Hu Ming rubbed his temples, looking at the fleeting sly look in Wu Xie's eyes.

Wu Xie probably invited him to look at this website with the intention of getting some information out of him from the very beginning.

"Forget it, it's not that I can't tell you these two questions. Anyway, after you go back to Hangzhou, someone will come knocking on your door to tell you. He doesn't have much time left, he can't sit still anymore, and he wants to make one last attempt."

Looking at Yin Nanfeng and the fat man, who were equally eager to learn, Hu Ming sighed helplessly.

Secrets are something that many people find irresistible, especially when there's an "old guy" in front of them who clearly knows the answers to everything.

"The first question, about the third fish, was actually dug out as early as 1974 in the Jing'er Palace under the pagoda in a Miao people's settlement in Guangxi Province."

"For some reason, the news was blocked as soon as it came out, but I know who that person is, and your third uncle knows too."

"The exact location... is right here!"

As he spoke, Hu Ming pulled over a map and marked the locations where the three bronze snake-browed fish had been unearthed.

"As for the second question, did you see any connection between these three positions?"

"what."

"Even the feng shui doesn't match. Is there some secret behind this?"

The fat man looked and looked, but couldn't figure it out. He frowned and shouted.

"Don't rush, let me give you another friendly hint: connect these three points and look at it horizontally. Now, can you see anything?"

Hu Ming mysteriously turned the map sideways, whetting everyone's appetite. The group paused, puzzled, and looked at it again carefully.

"Could this be a feng shui arrangement?!"

Before long, Wu Xie understood and immediately gasped in shock!
"Not bad, nephew. The business of tomb raiding is nothing more than finding the dragon veins and locating the burial sites. In this respect, you can be considered barely qualified!"

Hu Ming nodded in satisfaction, somewhat like a teacher watching his foolish apprentice graduate after completing his studies.

"No, Uncle Ming, what kind of riddle are you playing? What is this? It's just three completely unrelated places when you look at it horizontally. What could be the mystery?"

Yin Nanfeng didn't understand feng shui, and after looking around, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up and asked Hu Ming with a straight face.

"This is a rather subtle (water spout)."

The young man said softly.

"That's right. To put it simply, it's like a dragon emerging from the sea, but this feng shui arrangement is missing the dragon's head, and the dragon's head is right here!"

Hu Ming lit a cigarette, leisurely exhaled a smoke ring, and then made a hole at the location of Changbai Mountain.

"Most of the dragon veins in the Celestial Empire originate from several important places, such as the Kunlun Mountains and the Changbai Mountains. These places can be called the origin of the dragon veins in the world and have important significance in Feng Shui."

“These points, when connected to Changbai Mountain, form the Changbai Mountain Range, the Qinling Mountains, and the Yimeng Mountains. One end of the dragon is in the water, and the other end is on the shore, creating a rare and auspicious feng shui formation of a dragon emerging from the water.”

"As for the feng shui of the big head, this kind of feng shui arrangement is not common. It is mostly used in ancient times for divination to see the fortune of the world, or when the imperial court chooses the capital city."

“Generally, it’s not necessary to choose a mausoleum because the feng shui is too great, gathering the power of the world, which is far beyond what one person’s fate can bear.”

"It is worth mentioning that in the history of China, Wang Zanghai was the most outstanding Feng Shui master with big heads."

Feng shui was one of Hu Ming's specialties, and he spoke eloquently about it, getting increasingly adept at it.

"According to the intelligence obtained from the shipwreck tomb, the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top, which was built under the supervision of Wang Zanghai, is located on Changbai Mountain!"

Wu Xie suddenly realized; he understood.

Why did the three bronze fish with snake-like eyebrows appear in three ancient tombs from different eras? The reason is simple: they were placed there by Wang Zanghai.

The purpose was to connect the Changbai Mountains and create a feng shui arrangement.

However, Wang Zanghai did not intend to gather the power of the world in this feng shui arrangement, but rather to guide the descendants who obtained the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish to the Heavenly Palace atop Changbai Mountain.

So the question arises: what secrets does that place hold that made a Feng Shui master so concerned, even guiding future generations to explore it after his death?
Thinking of this, Wu Xie couldn't help but turn his curious gaze to Hu Ming.

"Looking at me won't help. There's one thing I won't tell you. If you want to know, go to the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds and witness it with your own eyes."

Hu Ming glanced at Xiao Ge, who was deep in thought, and ruthlessly rejected Wu Xie.

What's inside?
He and his brother knew this all too well!
