Chapter 294 Bagua Returns

"I, Mr. Lu, never thought that I would have such an opportunity, but I have to obey my orders." Lu Shi'e solemnly knelt in front of Mr. Yuan and kowtowed three times.

But the more I looked at him, the more I felt that this Master Yuan was not what he appeared to be, especially the ominous aura about him.

"Originally, the Dragon Vein matter has been taken care of from top to bottom, and only capable people and righteous people can help. However, overnight, the imperial court overtly promoted and secretly demoted, deprived of military power. I thought it was a dead end, but at this time your father offered the true Dragon Vein Map." Mr. Yuan quickly helped Lu Shi'e up and sighed at the fate of fate.

"How could it be possible? Master Yuan, you are the prime minister of the court..." Lu Shi'e looked at Master Yuan in surprise and joy, and then he stopped talking when he considered me standing aside.

"It doesn't matter. This brother is definitely not an outsider at first glance." Mr. Yuan didn't mind Lu Shi'e casually revealing his identity.

"As an important minister of the imperial court, Lord Yuan, why would he be a member of the Alliance and support the overthrow of the corrupt imperial court?" Lu Shi'e only came back to his senses at this time. He had been immersed in his own thoughts, but had not really spoken to Lord Yuan.

"Strictly speaking, I am not a member of the Tongmenghui. I am just entrusted by Mr. Zhongshan to perform my duties as a Han. Mr. Zhongshan sent me an urgent message before personally participating in the Battle of Zhennanguan, and foreigners are also coveting it. Our dragon vein. As for overthrowing the imperial court, for me and the new army under my command, we are not loyal to the imperial court. We are just doing our duty to maintain this country. I hope those Manchus can just put it down. , abdicate the throne as soon as possible, and follow the example of foreigners to establish a constitutional monarchy." Mr. Yuan slowly told his own ideas.

Lu Shi'e's expression suddenly changed, and he wanted to interrupt Master Yuan several times.

I had no choice but to hold him back and ask him not to get too emotional.

Master Yuan seemed to have noticed his changes, so he said casually,

"Mr. Lu, whether you and I agree or not, these are all for later decisions. At this critical moment, we are standing on the same front. Although I have been stripped of military power by the court, I still have some influence and some I have a very good relationship with Yang Shixiang, the next governor of Zhili, and the six towns of Beiyang are still in my hands. As long as I nod, your trip will be smooth."

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan." I knew that by this point in the conversation, all that needed to be said had been said.

If Lu Shi'e were to continue talking, it would be nothing more than an argument. What must be defeated is never the opponent's purpose, but the difficulties that exist in reality.

They are people of this era, always trapped in the current situation,

But I am different. I naturally know that everything they do has its own historical destiny, but I can't help but feel pity for an alliance with a completely idealistic fighter like Mr. Lu.

Master Yuan nodded, then took out the map and his handwritten letter from his sleeve, and nodded.

Lu Shi'e and I took the map and souvenirs and left the room, letting Mr. Yuan rest by himself.

Lu Shi'e drank a lot that night,

Ask me again and again,

"am I wrong?"

"Why I see no hope at all."

"Is there hope for this place?"

"There is hope." I sat on the steps of Lu Mansion and looked at the painful young man in front of me.

"In a few decades, there will be neither warlords nor invaders in this place."

"Really?" Lu Shi'e asked me seriously, holding a wine bottle. He didn't have the self-esteem of an intellectual at all. Instead, he looked like a schoolboy studying.

"At that time, all the concessions will be taken back, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, the roads will be extremely wide, and high-rise buildings will be seen everywhere. A grand expo will be held not far away, and goods from all over the world will be on display. All foreigners will lament this Everything is so amazing." I looked at the location of the Lu Mansion, how close it was to the World Expo a hundred years later.

"I have never been ashamed that my father is a liar, and I also thought that you who he praised were also a liar. But I think you are a very interesting liar. What you said really sounds like one day."

"At that time, the shelves will be covered with exquisite products, which will be dizzying for everyone. The foreigners will also be polite and orderly, and many of them can even speak Chinese. In order to facilitate the visit, the train will be built underground, and then a large iron bridge will be used. Connect the two sides of the Huangpu River."

"Crazy, really crazy, if only I could see it for a day." Lu Shi'e was happily in the yard, spinning around crazily with the wine bottle.

"This is not the craziest thing. When the time comes, the ground will be dug out, a tunnel will be built, railway tracks will be installed, electric lights will be lit day and night, and trains will fly continuously inside. The distance from Lu Mansion to the county government is no more than a few. It’s only 10 minutes.” I looked at his drunken look and thanked from the bottom of my heart that there are such lovely idealists in this rotten world.

"Why am I not drunk even after drinking so much? Why can my husband be so poetic and wild without drinking anything? It makes Lu really believe in that beautiful future that he dare not imagine."

"Although it is dark night now, stars will appear in the east soon. At first it will be just a little bit of light, but one after another the lights will make the impossible possible. Then thousands of stars will light up together, the star of dawn, at dawn, The bright future that Mr. Lu longs for is here." I picked up the drunk Lu Shi'e and sent him back to his room.

But I can't go back to sleep, every moment now is so painful.

I carefully took out the map returned by Master Yuan, carefully looked at all the information on it, and planned how to complete this task.

The so-called Dragon Veins should be the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but somehow I felt that the place I was looking for was not just the location marked on the map.

Xiao Yuanmiao once said that it was an abnormal human research center with such high-tech power that it was inaccessible before 1908.

I tried to touch the bumpy texture on the map, but I always felt it was another hint.

Gradually the night got deeper and deeper, and I began to feel sleepy.

Since coming here, I haven't been able to sleep well for several days in a row, and now all the fatigue has hit me,

I couldn't help but sit on the steps and closed my eyes.

Slowly I felt the map under my hand moving,

Could someone be stealing the map?

The feeling that slowly came to my hand was not the mosuo feeling of the map, but rather like stroking dragon scales.

The entire map is like a giant dragon acting coquettishly in my arms, rubbing itself forward bit by bit.

I want to open my eyes and see clearly what's in front of me,

As a result, the world gradually turned into green code,

I'm very familiar with this feeling, so it doesn't feel weird at all.

But the next moment, a majestic dragon's breath rushed over,

The world hidden under all the codes reappeared,

The original green English letters were all turned into golden Bagua characters.

I watched the mountains and rivers appear one by one on the map,

Only then did I understand the map.

All things covered by Zhu Li, and supplemented by the Bagua directions, finally pointed out the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, which was not in this dimension.

Chapter 295 Looking for the dragon to share the gold

Finally it was time to set off the next day. Lu Shi'e and I packed up and left the Lu Mansion.

Mr. Lu is already old, so naturally he will not follow us. Mr. Yuan has arranged for people to meet us at the next stop.

Along the way, I was still thinking about the difference between those Bagua characters stained with dragon energy and the green code, and why there was such a strange change suddenly.

Master Yuan's team of men and horses rushed us to set off quickly.

"Why don't you rest for a few days and set off on an auspicious day?" Lu Shi'e was a little surprised by the eagerness of these guys.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Yuan has sent a secret message. The map has been leaked, and two forces have already set off first." A man dressed as an officer or soldier explained to Lu Shi'e in a low voice.

"Master General, how did this leak out?" Lu Shi'e was surprised. Logically speaking, the people who knew about this matter were the imperial officials, and it was unlikely that such an important map would be sold for profit.

"Master Zhang has been dismissed from his post and investigated. It is said that the maps have been scrawled and copied overnight by his subordinates. One of them fell into the hands of foreigners, and the other fell into..." The officers and soldiers stopped talking.

"Well, I understand." Lu Shi'e asked the other party to go back and wait for the news.

"What should I do?" he asked me eagerly,

"There's no need to worry." I thought those guys wouldn't be able to get in anyway.

"But..."

"Believe me, let's make full preparations before setting off. This road is dangerous." I had no choice but to find an excuse to excuse myself.

Then we stopped and stopped for many days, but we were never in a hurry to reach our destination.

Because I discovered something more important,

In the past few days, I have been studying the Mausoleum of the First Emperor on the map. The location marked on it is not Lishan Mountain as later generations of scholars believed.

But it is at an inconspicuous junction between the Qinling Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains.

According to legend, it is the place where the ancestors of the First Emperor lived. It is also the place where the eldest prince Fusu who was supposed to inherit the throne was accidentally sent to.

The dragon's veins in Zushan are high and steep, so one can prove that the dragon's power is great.

But for knotting, if you get close, it will become stiff, and the dragon energy will easily knot.

You must make a big fall and go far away from the ancestral mountain to find a hole.

The accompanying Feng Shui master also said: "Dragon veins are different from mountains. They should be winding and winding, with the temperament of a soaring dragon. If so, it will lead to life, advancement, strength, and blessing. On the contrary, it will lead to death, retreat, weakness, and calamity."

"Dieshan is not only the watershed of the Bailong River and the Tao River, but also a watershed of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The dragon movement is full of changes, which is extremely rare in Feng Shui. It just corresponds to the rumor that the First Emperor's Mausoleum passes through three springs."

But the closer I got along the way, the more I felt that what I was looking for was not geographical coordinates, and that there might be a struggle.

Lu Shi'e became more and more excited all the way, muttering something all day long.

Soon we were at the last stop for supplies, and the local toast warmly received us.

"What's the name of this place?" I couldn't help but ask, because everything here is so spectacular.

Whether it’s snow in the mountains, mist and rain in Naga, or rime in the forest, the mist is misty, all make people feel relaxed and happy.

"Zhagana." The toast introduced us in blunt Chinese.

I nodded and asked when I could enter the mountain.

But the chieftain shook his head and said that he couldn't enter because it was a time of heavy mountain fog recently.

Moreover, the first two groups of people went in, and so far no one has come back.

When the commander-in-chief heard the two groups in front of him, he immediately began to question them with vigilance.

It turned out that a group of foreigners had already entered in the name of archeology, and another group rushed in with guns.

"It's too late, it's too late." The commander immediately rushed out of the room and called his men to prepare to continue marching.

"What should we do? They have already gone up the mountain. Why aren't you in a hurry?" Lu Shi'e also became impatient.

"What does that mean?" I continued to ask the toast.

"Zhagana is the language here, and its semantic meaning is stone box. Legend has it that this place used to be a complete natural "stone city." The terrain resembles a large-scale palace and a complete ancient city built on natural rock walls. Legend has it that During the Three Kingdoms period, when Jiang Wei, the general of Shu, was confronting the Wei army in Longnan, he retreated into Dieshan and found the stone box here, which finally saved the day." The chieftain introduced the local history to me.

After listening to it, I felt a little confident.

The reason why there are such historical rumors here is probably because of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

Because the tomb is not underground,

Of course, this does not mean that it flies in the sky, but that it exists in a certain high-latitude space and requires certain conditions to have an impact on our dimension.

Under normal circumstances, even if you climb Dieshan, you will see nothing but scenery.

The two teams that went up the mountain before should soon return without success.

"How much luggage did the first two groups of people take with them when they left?" The general soldier was still worried and wanted to ask what the chieftain had to say.

"They didn't bring anything with them. They just asked us for some dried bacon, saying they were going to stay in the mountains for a long time." Tusi recalled hesitantly.

"Didn't they ask for water?" I suddenly felt something was wrong and asked quickly.

This seems a bit abnormal. Things like water are almost necessary. If they stay for several days, they will at least have to carry a lot of water to the camp.

You will definitely need to replenish it when you get here. It is impossible to bring too much water from other places unless they believe that there is water to replenish on the mountain.

"No." Tusi recalled for a long time and shook his head.

"Is there a river or underground water near you?" I guessed that they might be planning to camp by the river, so that they could replenish water without affecting the progress.

"Yes, there are, but they are all down the mountain." The toast also pointed outside.

"Then what are they drinking?" I couldn't help but become confused.

"Some of them said they drank some natural dew, but I don't know what it was." The chieftain seemed a little frightened by the ferocious face of the chief soldier. After speaking, he saluted us and said goodbye.

"Thank you." I returned the greeting according to his etiquette.

Then he pretended to be calm and returned to his room, leaving the general and Lu Shi'e discussing whether to go into the mountains in the fog tomorrow.

In the evening, I took Lu Shi'e to the commander-in-chief's room.

"Put down the baggage, take a few elite soldiers at night, tie up a local guide and go into the mountains." I expressed my thoughts seriously.

"But..." The general didn't seem to expect that I would have such a request and wanted to ask.

"Okay." Lu Shi'e was already preparing to order people with the general.

"The chieftain didn't tell the truth, but he didn't lie either. If he wanted to enter the tomb, he had to take advantage of the fog and snow." I had already guessed that the two previous teams might have some information that we didn't know.

"The reason why they didn't bring water was just to take advantage of the foggy and snowy weather to enter the mountains. This place is surrounded by water and has many mountains. It's a wonder behind, with dragon veins guarding it and sand and water gathering together. There is no need to bring too much water. ."

"Isn't this hope too slim?" The general was already hesitant. Maybe the troops behind him were his confidence. If he went up the mountain alone, whether he could enter the mausoleum or not, he would not be able to defeat the first two groups. It gave him an even bigger headache.
