Under One Person: Since I am alone, I can dominate the world

Lu Jin nodded repeatedly and wiped his eyes: "Okay, okay, good things!"

At this time, Zhang Zhiwei's voice was heard jokingly: "I say, Lao Lu, we have known each other for so many years, and you have never shed tears in front of me."

"Why do I get older? Is it because the water in my body is getting more and more? Or is it because the weather is so hot that the water vapor in my brain is evaporating?"

Lu Jin's face froze, and he said unhappily, "My granddaughter has made a name for herself, and I'm very happy for her. What's it to you?"

Zhang Zhiwei smiled without saying anything, easily defusing the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Lu Linglong stared with wide eyes again, pointed at the huge backpack on her great-grandfather, and asked in confusion: "Grandpa, what are you doing with a backpack?"

Lu Jin touched his meticulously combed middle-parted hair, coughed dryly and said, "I know you are going down the mountain, and my great grandfather is worried, so he followed me."

What he meant was that he would follow Lu Linglong to meet up with Zhang Taichu and look for the tomb of Zhuge Wuhou!

Zhang Zhiwei joked again: "I say, old man, if you want to go, just go. Why do you have to come up with this excuse?"

"Xiao Linglong is with my junior brother. Where in the world is there any dangerous place?"

Lu Jin's face turned red, and he said stubbornly, "I want to go, what do you care about me?"

Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

……

the other side.

Thousands of miles away, Baokun City, Western Shaanxi Province.

In the suburbs, looking up, you can see the red clouds in the sky floating in the air, covering half of the sky. Looking down, you can see a convoy lined up on the side of an abandoned road in the wilderness. There are three identical Hummer H2s in total.

The dark green paint and tough shape make people's blood boil just by looking at it, and they can't help but want to sit on it and gallop across the yellow sand.

"Yes, only such a domineering off-road vehicle can match my temperament."

Zhang Chulan, who was wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat, said this. He was leaning on a Hummer with one hand, constantly adjusting his posture, and said to Feng Baobao who was holding a camera not far away: "Sister Baoer, take a few more pictures. I want to post them on WeChat Moments."

These off-road vehicles were sponsored free of charge by the Tianxiahui. When they heard that they were looking for the tomb of Wu Hou, they sent them over without saying a word.

Feng Baobao made an OK gesture and took a series of photos with her hands, recording all of Zhang Chulan's slightly exaggerated poses.

The people sitting on the lawn not far away were watching this scene quietly with smiles on their faces, finding it very interesting.

They were still in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Guixi in the morning. After a day's journey, they arrived in Baokun City, Western Shaanxi Province in the evening, where they waited quietly for the arrival of the rest of their companions.

On the lawn at dusk, Zhang Lingyu and Xia He held hands and watched the sunset quietly. Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were making funny faces under the sunset, with a look of contentment on their faces.

Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing and Ma Xianhong got together and had a heated academic discussion because of the content of the notebook. They argued until their faces turned red.

Xiao Zizai and Chen Duo sat on either side of a big tree, each with their legs linked together, enjoying the breeze and half closing their eyes.

There was a young Taoist sitting on the tree, gazing into the distance, and talking to himself: "It's almost time now, everyone should be here by now."

As soon as he finished speaking, several figures appeared at the fork in the road at the end of the abandoned highway. As dusk fell, they stretched their long shadows and approached where he was.

"Master, Senior Brother Lingyu, everyone, I'm here!"

Lu Linglong ran over excitedly, carrying luggage that was taller than her, swinging her long sleeves.

Zhi Jinhua on the side was also excited. She came with a big schoolbag on her back and long legs, striding forward. She had the opportunity to go out with her idol Taichu Zhenren, and to look for the legendary tomb of Wu Hou. The feeling of happiness like winning the lottery made her unable to sleep all night!

"Xiao Linglong, Zhi Jinhua, hiss... why is there an additional Lao Deng?"

Zhang Taichu curled the corner of his mouth, then turned over and jumped up, crossing a long distance and coming directly in front of the three people.

Lu Linglong immediately bowed obediently, and Zhi Jinhua beside her also bowed with a blushing face.

Zhang Taichu nodded to the two of them, reached out and touched his apprentice's head, then looked at Lu Jin, who was smiling awkwardly, with an unfriendly look, and glanced at the huge backpack on his body, raised his eyebrows and said, "I said, Lao Deng, I called my apprentice here, why are you here to join in the fun?"

Lu Jin coughed dryly, touched his nose, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master, I am, I am worried about Linglong's safety, I..."

Zhang Taichu interrupted with a wave of his hand, sneering: "Don't give me that, what? Do you look down on my strength?"

Lu Jin waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no!"

Zhang Taichu said: "No, what's the meaning of no? Please explain clearly what you have to say."

Lu Jin looked like a scolded kid, with a bitter expression on his face. He said honestly, "I know you are going to look for Wu Hou's tomb, so I wanted to go and broaden my horizons."

He had heard the legend of Zhuge Kongming since he was a child and had been fascinated by it for many years. He also wanted to find out the secret treasure in the legend, so after receiving the news, he packed his bags without hesitation and came to join him.

Zhang Taichu chuckled and looked Lu Jin up and down. "Old Lu, digging graves is not only a technical job, but also a physical job. Can you keep up? Don't fall behind."

Lu Jin patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master. I have done enough homework and have made all the preparations!"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the backpack behind him, and threw it in front of him, like a player with a secret weapon, and took out items from it and placed them on the lawn.

The first thing that appeared in front of everyone was two engineering shovels, two mattocks, a multi-purpose knife, a head-mounted flashlight, a bunch of batteries, and a roll of bandages...

The things at the beginning were normal, slightly unexpected but also reasonable, but they soon became outrageous.

"Ink fountain line, peach wood sword, black donkey hoof... Great grandfather, what is that red bottle?"

Lu Linglong looked confused, with the hair on her head messy in the wind.

Chapter 213 Wuzhangyuan, the tomb of ancestors, the -li Qinchuan Difficulty

Lu Linglong looked at her great-grandfather and the things in his backpack, her face gradually becoming confused.

The looks of Zhang Taichu and Zhi Jinhua also became more and more strange.

Even Lu Jin himself felt something was wrong the more he took out. He thought to himself, what's wrong with the subordinates who prepared things for him? They are trying to trick the master of the family!

"I'm Old Lu. I'm the patriarch of the Lu family and a big boss. Why do you carry these things with you, including the black donkey hoof? You've read too many novels, so why are you inserting zombies?" Zhang Taichu joked.

Lu Jin's old face flushed red and he was speechless. He could only lower his head and tremblingly took out the last few books.

Among them are "Grave Robbers' Notebook", "Ghost Blows Out the Light Bulb", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "The Romantic History of Zhuge Liang".

The four books, like four silent slaps, fell on his old face.

Lu Jin's heart was broken, but he still pretended to be serious and said, "Look, Master... I have also made preparations. Just let me go. I promise to listen to your instructions and follow the rules!"

When Zhang Taichu saw the other person's appearance, he could only smile bitterly and shook his head, jokingly saying, "You old man, are you the grave-digging genius that only appears once in a century?"

"Well, since you want to come, just follow me."

As he said this, he waved his sleeves, turned around and walked away slowly.

After getting the permission, Lu Jin immediately danced with excitement, put away his backpack with excitement, and followed happily.

……

The moon is dim and the stars are sparse in the night sky.

Under the starlight, three off-road vehicles were speeding on the steep mountain road on the mountainside at an extremely fast speed, raising dust all the way.

In the car at the front, Zhi Jinhua was driving, Zhang Taichu was sitting in the passenger seat, and behind them were Ma Xianhong and Chen Duo.

In the middle car, Zhuge Qing was driving, with Wang Ye sitting on the passenger seat, and Zhang Lingyu and Xia He sitting behind.

In the last car, Xiao Zi was in the driving seat, Lu Jin was in charge, and Feng Baobao, Zhang Chulan, and Lu Linglong were also sitting there.

Under Zhang Taichu's instructions, Zhi Jinhua drove the lead car with full concentration, heading all the way to the designated destination. With her skilled driving skills, she could drive the Hummer as if it were flat ground even on this rugged mountain road.

time flies.

It was not until the early hours of the morning that the three cars bypassed countless mountains, crossed shallow streams, walked through gravel and mud, and broke through dense forests, all the way to the end of the mountain road. They finally stopped when they had nowhere else to go.

After Zhang Taichu and Lu Jin got off the car, they chose a direction to explore the way, and the rest of the younger generations began to set up camp.

This is an unnamed mountain with an open gravel area near the top of the mountain, so it didn't take too much effort. Several tents were easily set up, a bonfire was lit, and everyone sat around and chatted.

"Away from the city, as long as you look up, you can see the Milky Way in the sky. It's so beautiful." Zhi Jinhua put her legs together, held her face, and looked at the starry sky through her glasses.

Chen Duo, who was beside her, also looked up and admired the night sky. She suddenly missed her puppy and wondered if the puppy was hungry or whether he was eating well.

However, since Zhang Taichu told her that the puppy would be fine, she believed it.

"The air is fresh, the view is wide, the weather is clear, and the scenery is beautiful. If we hadn't told us we were here to dig graves, we would have thought we were here for vacation." Wang also exclaimed.

Zhang Chulan on the side corrected him in time: "We are volunteers for underground cultural relics excavation and protection."

Everyone laughed knowingly.

The firelight reflected on their faces, making each of them red.

Zhang Chulan said again: "Zhijinhua, where are we now? Look at this desolate mountain, there is no human habitation at all."

"I've heard before that the Wuhou Tomb is located in Dingjun Mountain in Mian County, Baokun City. We've been driving for most of the night, so we must be quite far away from Baokun City. What's going on?"

Zhi Jinhua pushed up her glasses and said helplessly, "Zhang Chulan, how did you get your degree from Nanbukai University? You don't have any cultural knowledge at all."

"The tomb of Wuhou has never had a specific location, nor has it ever been exposed. The one at Dingjun Mountain in Mian County is just a cenotaph built by later generations. It is fake."

Zhang Chulan nodded, touched his head and said, "Where did Prime Minister Zhuge bury himself? Doesn't he find it troublesome? No one burns incense for him during festivals..."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Zhuge Qing on the side.

Zhuge Qing waved the ancient animal skin scroll in his hand and said helplessly, "Don't look at me, I also want to know where the ancestor's tomb is now."

Zhang Chulan sighed: "Prime Minister Zhuge is very clever. He hid his tomb very well, even hiding it from his descendants. Did he deliberately not want anyone to find him?"

Zhuge Qing said: "I think the ancestor must have his reasons for doing this, maybe it is also a form of protection."

"After thousands of years, even the imperial mausoleum has been destroyed, but our ancestors' tombs are still intact. That's a blessing, isn't it?"

Leaving clues behind but not pointing out directly means that only those who are truly capable and destined can find the tomb and open the treasure. To some extent, this is also a test, isn't it?

It’s just that over the past thousand years, no family in successive generations has been able to obtain it.

Zhi Jinhua then spoke up again, "It's not that it's nowhere to be found. According to rumors, Prime Minister Zhuge led the Shu army and confronted the Wei army on Wuzhang Plain for more than a hundred days until the Seven Star Lanterns went out and his life ended."

"It was there that he spent the last moments of his life. This is the story of the star falling on Wuzhang Plain, which is relatively specific and verifiable."

Zhang Chulan curled his lips and said, "What are you talking about? Isn't Wuzhangyuan still in Baokun City? It's quite far away from us."

Zhi Jinhua said: "He died in Wuzhangyuan, but he was not buried in Wuzhangyuan."

"Haven't you heard of the legend left by Prime Minister Zhuge? Before he died, he told his soldiers that only four people were needed to carry the coffin southwards, without looking back, and that they would be buried at the place where the rope broke."

After hearing this story, everyone around was immediately attracted and became interested.

Zhang Chulan thought for a moment and added, "If the rope was worn out, how far must they have walked? Legends are always exaggerated, and they may be false."

Zhi Jinhua chuckled: "But that person is Zhuge Liang, the greatest extraordinary person in history."

As she spoke, she took out a notebook from her computer bag, tapped out a topographic map, pointed out the direction to everyone and said, "Wuzhangyuan area, to the east is the Twelve Yuanzi Peak, to the west is the Supervisory Terrace, and to the north is the place where Shu and Wei faced off in the great battle that year."

“Only to the south is there the endless Qinling Mountains!”

Chapter 214: Seeking the Earthly Qi Veins, the Competitive Pig King Combination

"The Qinling Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, dividing China into north and south. To the west, it extends to the Gansu-Qinghai border and connects with the Kunlun Mountains. To the east, it encompasses the Nanhe Mountains. It is rarely visited by people and is extremely dangerous. It is even revered as the Dragon Vein of China."

"Prime Minister Zhuge was loyal and made countless contributions to the country. When he was alive, he could be said to have made the enemy armies fear him with his own strength."

"And I think that before he died, one of the reasons why he told his soldiers to carry the coffin south into the Qinling Mountains to hide the body was to set up a maze like an empty city stratagem to hide his own death and make the Wei army at that time fearful. , don’t dare to act rashly, it can also be considered as Zuo of the Kingdom of Shu, and try to fight for a glimmer of hope."

"Of course, these are just my personal guesses."

Zhi Jinhua spoke every word seriously, and her words naturally revealed her admiration for this legendary figure, which made everyone sitting around the campfire look emotional.

Zhuge Qing nodded and said, "Yes, this notebook also makes such a guess. Moreover, our ancestors have entered the Qinling Mountains many times, all from different directions. Although they returned empty-handed many times, they gradually figured out some ways."

"This time, we will enter Qinling Mountains from this direction. This is also what my father has decided. With a real person leading the team, we may be able to find the resting place of our ancestors."

As soon as the words fell, there was a movement deep in the woods, and two more figures flashed out like flies. They were two elders who went to explore the way.

Zhang Taichu said, "The back mountain here is connected to the southwestern foothills of the Qinling Mountains. There are many strange rocks and dangerous peaks. We really can't go on by car. Let's go there on foot tomorrow."

The younger generations immediately nodded obediently and stopped chattering. Instead, they closed their eyes and took a nap to replenish their energy.

……

But an hour later.

At dawn, the sky began to turn pale.

When everyone woke up, the bonfire had just burned out, leaving only a wisp of white smoke that gradually drifted towards the sky and merged into the nearby sea of ​​clouds.

It was only then that they took a clear look at the scenery where they were. They saw that they were surrounded by lush, endless dense forests. The ground was covered with thick soil of fallen leaves, and the moss climbing up the ancient trees was still stained with... Morning dew.

Less than ten feet in front of where the Hummers were parked, there was an open, exposed cliff. There, a strong breeze blew in, passed through the tents, rolled up the smoke, and carried the scent of trees and moist water vapor, circling to another distant sky.
