Chapter 394 The Amazing Dragon Source Stone! The mural has turned into a dragon!
(I'm in the hospital, they're checking my heart, it's not hemorrhoids...)
...

[You discovered a Dragon Source Stone through the Feng Shui Spirit Record Stone. Perhaps this single Dragon Source Stone alone can complete the Seven Luminaries Feng Shui Formation.]

Dragon Source Stone.

Chen Han was genuinely surprised to receive this hint.

This thing is recorded in the intermediate level of Feng Shui compiled by Feng Shui Linglu Shi.

This is a very high-quality feng shui stone, which is usually born in the terrain of dragon veins.

They are usually buried deep underground and are difficult to discover without excavation.

Of course, under normal circumstances, no one can dig up this Dragon Source Stone.

Like the dragon's lair, the Dragon Source Stone is extremely important. If someone tries to destroy it, the dragon vein will not sit idly by and wait to perish.

If it's a dragon vein with a complete geographical topography, it's incredibly easy to cause headaches, vomiting, dizziness, etc., to those who disrupt it.

They could even directly cause vibrations, collapses, and bury people inside.

This is often the reason why mines collapse even when safety measures are in place.

Therefore, the appearance of Dragon Source Stones is usually due to the depletion of the dragon vein or a natural disaster such as an earthquake, which shakes open the dragon vein and exposes the Dragon Source Stones.

In this situation, it's as if the dragon vein has been severely damaged, and others will be helpless in excavating the Dragon Source Stone.

Just like this mountain, which has been broken into sections by the earthquake, as if it had been cut up, if someone sees this Dragon Source Stone, they will definitely take it away immediately.

However, with the Dragon Source Stone, and the Feng Shui formation diagram, the dragon veins of many geographical locations can be restored; the only question is how much can be restored.

I wonder how many Dragon Source Stones can still be found in Hengshan.

Another advantage of Dragon Source Stone is that it can be used to set up large-scale feng shui formations that gather and retain energy without relying on geographical terrain.

Because it originates from a dragon vein, it carries the remnants of geographical topography.

Legend has it that a wealthy man in Hong Kong obtained a Dragon Source Stone and set up a Feng Shui formation to gather wealth and prosperity, eventually becoming a shipping magnate.

Of course, the effect would be even stronger if the Dragon Source Stone was used in conjunction with the feng shui formation arranged according to the geographical terrain.

Just like the game system says, this alone is enough to repair the Seven Luminaries Feng Shui Formation Diagram.

Chen Han remained calm and followed them inside.

Not long after, he saw the murals with Chairman Ma and the others.

This is a place similar to a cave, with the walls all made of rock.

On one of the stone walls, some carved patterns can be clearly seen.

It's immediately obvious that it's ancient hieroglyphics.

Normally, even if these patterns are carved into the stone wall, they should become difficult to see over time due to overgrown weeds and weathering.

Just look at those unearthed stone tablets to know.

But now the inscriptions on the stone wall are clearly visible.

That suggests that this might be part of a feng shui formation.

Moreover, if this place is indeed related to Zhu Rong, then this feng shui formation must have been arranged by this legendary figure.

Therefore, it's not surprising that someone who could arrange feng shui formations in ancient times was regarded as a mythical figure.

Just like him now, if he went back to ancient times and casually showed off a few skills, claiming to be the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable, then the statue enshrined in the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable Temple would be him.

As for why it's called a cemetery, it must be because the archaeological experts discovered something.

Even a single bone can be given the name of a cemetery.

When Ma Gongtai saw him enter, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Patriarch Chen, these are the murals that have been discovered. The previous ones are all daily records, and the last one is suspected to be a feng shui formation diagram, but we are not able to determine it."

Chen Han nodded and began to look at the content of the mural. It showed a figure looking up at the sky.

This must be Zhu Rong.

Because in many temples that enshrine Zhurong, there are pictures of Zhurong looking up at the sky.

As for Zhu Rong's purpose in looking up at the sky, no one knows. So, whether it was later generations or Taoists, they speculated that it was probably to show his majesty, grandeur, or to communicate with the heavens.

For example, the Nanyue Grand Temple has a painting of Zhurong looking up at the sky.

Chen Han looked at each picture one by one. Because they were pictographs, he could understand many of them, and for the ones he couldn't understand, he could guess.

Chen Han was drawn to one particular mural.

It was a hieroglyph of a person in anger, looking at the sky as if watching something.

Moreover, there are small dots on this angry anthropomorphic hieroglyph.

Chen Han was stunned. Looking at the content, he felt a sense of familiarity, just like when he set up the Seven Luminaries Feng Shui Formation with incomplete parts.

Then, helplessly, I looked up at the sky, not understanding why the stellar energy drawn by the formation was blocked by the atmosphere.

Upon closer inspection, there were seven dots on the angry hieroglyph.

So, was Zhu Rong's original arrangement of the feng shui formation blocked?

Of course, this is just his guess.

Whether these seven dots represent stars or not, no one knows.

Even if it represents stars, seven dots don't necessarily mean the seven luminaries; they could be the Big Dipper or something else entirely.

Seemingly noticing him looking at the painting, Professor Li came over and explained, "Master Chen is interested in this inscription? The inscription is meant to express that this person must have felt fear, and something fell from the sky. These dots should be flames, representing the manifestation of Zhurong's power."

Upon hearing this, Chen Han couldn't help but sigh. No wonder the same words can be interpreted differently by different people.

He and the professor interpreted this simple inscription in different ways.

So, was it Sima Guang who smashed the water jar, or Sima Guang who smashed the earthenware pot?

Anyway, he couldn't be sure that his guess was correct, relying solely on these hieroglyphs without any evidence.

But looking at the professor's confident demeanor, the other party must have thought he was right.

He didn't argue with the other party, but simply nodded and said, "I've learned something."

Professor Li smiled when he saw that the renowned Chen family head was so receptive to instruction.

In this way, we should be able to better take the initiative in future collaborations.

Honestly, he was speechless, not understanding why the higher-ups were letting a group of Taoist priests get involved in their archaeological work.
Chen Han quickly arrived at the last pictographic inscription.

This hieroglyphic image clearly depicts mountains and rivers, making it resemble a map.

Moreover, the small hieroglyphs in the middle seem more like markers.

Almost as soon as he was thinking, the game notification sounded:

[A feng shui formation depicting a dragon gathering energy has been discovered, a protective arrangement for the dragon!]

Chen Han was immediately surprised.

Just as Chairman Ma and the others guessed, it was indeed a feng shui formation diagram.

It can be confirmed that this is the feng shui formation diagram of *Mountain.

The Azure Dragon Gathering Qi is also a type of dragon vein gathering qi, but it is a way to protect the dragon vein.

The protective formation is formed by the presence of this dragon vein, which can ensure peace and prosperity in all directions, favorable weather, and tranquility. In addition, the azure dragon is long-lived, which can ensure longevity, and it is even possible that it can generate special energy.

Therefore, this also proves that the story of Liu Bowen severing the dragon vein is false. Putting aside the fact that he did not have the ability, if he did, various dragon veins would have some protection for the local area, so doing so would definitely incur the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people.

Professor Li came over again: "Master Chen, this should be a sacrificial painting depicting the worship of Zhu Rong. It should record the scene at that time. Look here, there are mountains and water, which should refer to Mount Heng, representing Zhu Rong's control of Mount Heng and expressing his awe of the power of heaven and earth during the sacrifice..."

"I understand," Chen Han said, and then fell silent.

The matters here are no longer something that archaeologists can participate in.

Therefore, he now finds the professor's words laughable.

It even made him wonder if much of the historical knowledge he had learned before was also deciphered by looking at a picture, just like this Professor Li.

If no one else were involved and the archaeological work were completed by Professor Li and his team, they would likely gain a wealth of historical knowledge about Zhurong very quickly.

This historical knowledge might eventually be included in textbooks, or even adapted into films and television series.

At that moment, the game system notification sounded again:

[Congratulations! The analysis of the Azure Dragon Gathering Qi Feng Shui Formation Diagram is complete. You have obtained the Azure Dragon Gathering Qi Feng Shui Formation Diagram!]

Ma Gongtai walked over at this moment and asked, "Patriarch Chen, how is it? What should we do next?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Li immediately said, "Leader, I think I should take the lead from here on out, since this is originally our archaeological project, and Patriarch Chen just agreed with my point of view."

Upon hearing this, Ma Gongtai subconsciously looked at Chen Han.

Chen Han smiled and said, "Chairman Ma, let the Taoist priests go to the surrounding area of ​​* Mountain to observe the feng shui layout and direction. I will make a feng shui formation diagram first, and then analyze what we need."

“Okay, I’ll tell the Taoist priests right away.” Ma Gongtai nodded and immediately went to greet the Taoist priests.

Professor Li was stunned and quickly looked at Chen Han, who just smiled at him and then ignored him.

This surprised him for a moment.

I feel that I am not being respected enough.

But all the Taoist priests gathered around, their faces full of excitement.

After all, this was the second time they were going to set up a feng shui formation together. After the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak incident, they had already learned a lot about feng shui and made great progress.

Therefore, this is a good opportunity for them to test it out and conduct a real-world test.

It doesn't matter if it's wrong.

After all, the Chen family head will help them correct it.

A group of Taoist priests sprang into action, wandering around and recording the terrain and geography of each place. It wasn't until nightfall that Chen Han returned to the site where the remains of Zhu Rong's tomb had been unearthed.

It appeared silently beside the Dragon Origin Stone, then silently stored it in its game inventory, noting the following information:
[Dragon Source Stone: This is a very high-grade feng shui stone, mostly found in areas where dragon veins are located. It can not only be used to repair and arrange the feng shui formations of dragon veins, but also, the residual geographical energy on it can be used to create powerful feng shui formations without relying on the geographical terrain.]

Seeing this note, this Dragon Origin Stone is more powerful than I imagined.

If it were a feng shui formation primarily focused on killing and destruction, carrying this Dragon Source Stone would likely allow one to set up such a formation and wreak havoc.

It's just a pity that he has never obtained such a feng shui formation.

The feng shui books compiled in the Feng Shui Records Stone do not contain any records of such formations.

However, having already obtained the goods, he left and returned to his lodgings.

the next day.

Chen Han began cultivating, storing the intermediate-grade spirit stone in his game inventory. He then went downstairs to eat some breakfast provided by the Nanyue Grand Temple, when Master Lingzhong and Chairman Ma came to invite him.

As soon as Ma Gongtai saw him, he said, "Patriarch Chen, the Taoist priests have compiled all the geographical features of this mountain area and drawn up the relevant feng shui formations. However, we still need you to check it out and sort out the corresponding direction of this formation diagram."

"Okay, let's go take a look!" Chen Han nodded.

Although he already had a complete and perfect feng shui formation and geographical layout in his mind, he couldn't let anyone know about the feng shui spirit stone.

So, we should still pretend to take a look.

Soon, Ma Gongtai invited him to a large hall in the Nanyue Grand Temple.

The Taoist priests had already arrived inside, each holding a map of the terrain and feng shui they had drawn, waiting for him to review it.

"Master Chen, take a look at the drawing I made."

"And my map, the area I'm in charge of is definitely the most difficult."

"Patriarch Chen..."

Seeing the Taoist priests' anxious expressions, Chen Han said to them, "Don't rush, Taoist priests. Please lay out the maps of Hengshan Mountain from top to bottom and from east to west, according to the order of your respective areas. I will look at them one by one and then summarize."

Without hesitation, the Taoist priests placed their drawings in order on a table.

Chen Han then had a huge sheet of paper brought out and placed in front of him, while he also picked up the Taoist priests' paintings and began to look at them.

One of the company's employees was filming a projection onto the spread-out sheets of paper.

When Patriarch Chen draws the formation diagram, it can be simultaneously projected onto the prepared screen next to him, so that all the Taoist priests can see it.

While these Taoist priests were enthusiastically making preparations, Professor Li and his group were unhappy.

Because of this summary in the morning, Ma Gongtai directly excluded these archaeologists.

Since Patriarch Chen had confirmed that it was a battle formation diagram, there was no need for him to argue with those archaeologists anymore; he could just tell them to get lost.

But for Professor Li and his colleagues, this was indeed a very annoying thing.

It's bad enough that they've been stripped of their dominant position, now they're not even being notified.

Without their guidance, if these Taoist priests had acted recklessly and damaged the murals or even the environment inside, it would have been the most significant loss in the history of archaeology.

These people cannot afford this responsibility.

His mindset stems primarily from information asymmetry. Firstly, the company hasn't clearly outlined its terms of service, and he doesn't know the company's current situation.

Most importantly, intellectuals, those who understand, understand...

So he immediately dialed his supervisor's number.

As soon as the call connected, he immediately said into the phone, "Boss, those people are so unruly. They've taken over our control, and now they're making moves without even informing us. We can't let them run wild. The discovery of the Zhurong Tomb is absolutely crucial."

The leader on the other end said, "Professor Li, why don't we just let this go? There are plenty of archaeological projects out there; there's no need to get hung up on this one."

Professor Li was taken aback when he heard this, because something seemed amiss.

The leader didn't have this attitude before; he was indignant and even made a guarantee for him.

What's going on now?

The implication was clear: they were being asked to withdraw and leave the project to the Taoist priests.

Isn't this a reversal of the Heavenly Stems?
"Sir, but it's been so long, and there's very little archaeological evidence about figures like Zhu Rong." Professor Li wanted to argue his point; he was absolutely unwilling to give up on this archaeological discovery so easily.

Knowing the professor's personality, the leader said, "Professor Li, let's maintain the status quo. Whatever they do, just go and join in. After all, we have a cooperative relationship, so there's no way to get rid of you."

Professor Li hung up the phone with some helplessness. It was the first time that someone else had taken his project in his field, and he had no choice but to accept it.

However, now that things have come to this point, it's impossible for him to give up. He needs to see what's really going on with this project and what the final conclusion will be.
"Let's go take a look over there," Professor Li said directly, leading his group to the main hall where Chen Han and the others were.

When he arrived, he saw the Taoist priests bustling about inside.

He could also see the head of the Chen family holding a pen, drawing on a large blueprint.

There was another person filming the projection, showing the drawing by the Chen family head onto the screen next to him.

At this moment, the Taoist priests all gathered in front of the screen, looking at the paintings displayed on it.

One Taoist priest excitedly said, "Look, the formation and direction of the painting by Master Chen are exactly the same as my judgment based on the painting."

That look was one of pride.

"As if you're the only one who's right," the other Taoist priests snorted.

Chen Han had to admit that these Taoist priests' feng shui skills had improved significantly, far surpassing what they had achieved at the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak of Wudang.

When these Taoist priests were at the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak of Wudang, they made many mistakes in examining the geography and making judgments about the relevant area.

This time, he looked at the paintings of several Taoist priests and compared them with the complete formation diagram in the Spirit Record Stone. Surprisingly, there were no mistakes at all.

This clearly demonstrates the progress these Taoist priests have made.

Chen Han was carefully drawing the formation diagram of the Azure Dragon Gathering Qi at Hengshan.

Professor Li overheard these people talking about geography and terrain, and he roughly understood what they were doing.

This made him frown and walk towards Ma Gongtai: "Leader, is the Chen family head and the others setting up a feng shui formation? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with our archaeology. I hope the leader can give us the lead in archaeology."

Ma Gongtai glanced at Professor Li and asked, "Professor Li, didn't you realize that the murals painted by the Chen family head are related to those in the tomb of Zhu Rong?"

Professor Li was taken aback when he heard this.

What do you mean?
What connection could those murals have with the painting that the Chen family head is currently working on?
He wanted to ask more, but Ma Gongtai had already walked over to Chen Han to watch, so he could only step forward and stare at the screen.

As the head of the Chen family painted more and more murals, he finally saw some familiar places, after all, he had looked at the murals again and again.

For example, the direction of the mountains and flowing water drawn by this Chen family head can be easily seen to be the same as the direction in the mural.

This made him frown, and for a moment he quietly watched Chen Han paint.

Yesterday, Li Qiuyu filmed some videos of Chen Jiazhu and Xiaoyu visiting Hengshan. After editing and uploading them, the scenic area's account gained a lot of traffic, so she came online as soon as she woke up today.

Having heard that all the Taoist priests had gathered here, she rushed over to see what they were doing.

After all, the Chen family head came here to participate in the Taoist discourse.

She didn't expect to see those Taoist priests watching the Chen family head paint something as soon as she got up there.

Naturally, she was very curious and went over to record the screen with her phone.

It might even be great material.

Ma Gongtai glanced at her but said nothing. If necessary, he could have prevented the Hengshan Scenic Area from getting involved this time, but some things cannot be hidden.

Since everyone already knows, there's no need to hide it anymore; we might as well be open about it.

Li Qiuyu was naturally unaware of these things. When she heard that the patriarch of the Chen family had drawn a feng shui formation diagram of Hengshan, her eyes widened.

There are many legends about this Chen family head and feng shui formations online.

In particular, the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak is known to everyone.

Yesterday, she speculated whether the fact that the Chen family head came here to participate in the Taoist discourse was also related to this.

After all, before the Wudang Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak was repaired, it was also a place for Taoist discussions.

But later it turned into repairing the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak, and the Chen family head even wrote related books.

Now, at another Taoist discussion, the Chen family head is doing the same thing again.

This made her take even more serious photos of the picture drawn by the head of the Chen family.

Moreover, as she continued drawing, she could see more and more clearly that the drawing was developing an incredible shape.

It looks somewhat like a long, thin animal.

The key point is that she actually remembered every part of this animal and could match it with different areas of Hengshan.

After all, she had worked in Hengshan for so long that she knew the location of every peak inside and out.

One or two errors might occur, but when so many match consecutively, it can't be an error.

Finally, when the Chen family head finished the last part, she was completely astonished.

She saw a dragon in the picture.

That's right, it's a dragon.

"This is Zhu Rong Peak!" Li Qiuyu was even more surprised after this analysis.

The location of the dragon's head is precisely where Zhurong Peak is situated, and the pair of ferocious dragon horns should be the two stone cliffs of Zhurong Peak.

She was able to discern the meaning of the picture on her own. Was it because she was so talented, or because the head of the Chen family was so skilled at drawing?

Professor Li's head was buzzing as he looked at the outlined dragon.

The dragon seemed to have shattered his proud spirit.
