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

The hair that was originally tied in a ponytail now spread out like a waterfall, with a delicate butterfly hairpin pinned on it.

Perhaps it was because of her clothes, but at this moment, Chen Duo's usually cold temperament became calm, and her innocent face looked much more lovely.

Zhang Chulan stared at all this blankly, swallowed his saliva, and felt his heartbeat quicken a bit. He murmured, "If Lao Liao and Lao Meng could see this side of you, they would be very happy."

Ma Xianhong, who was standing aside, felt a sudden lump in his throat when he saw Chen Duo finally succeed in suppressing the poison. He reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, feeling relieved for her.

Zhi Jinhua said to Zhang Taichu, "Master, Duo'er... loves playing in the water so much that she spent a little more time."

Zhang Taichu said gently: "It's okay, the little kid has just regained his freedom and is always a little curious."

At this moment, Chen Duo really looked like an exquisite doll, with more emotions on her face and seemed a little shy. She pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands, rubbed her fingers nervously, and then suddenly bowed deeply to Zhang Taichu without saying a word.

Zhang Taichu reached out and helped the other person up, smiling and said, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Chen Duo nodded and said softly, "Thank you."

Until this moment, she had completely accepted Zhang Taichu in her heart and regarded him as an existence as important as Chen Junyan. He was one of the few people who brought warmth and light to her dark world.

……

A silent night passed and another day came.

The group set out again to explore the Qinling Mountains. With yesterday's experience, Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye seemed to be more familiar with finding the way.

It is worth mentioning that after putting on the skirt of the dress, Chen Duo never wanted to take it off. She was full of energy along the way and joined Lu Linglong and Zhi Jinhua in exploring nature. She always had something in her hands, whether it was a flower, a leaf, a toad, a monkey...

This tomb-raiding trip, which should have been full of tension, was turned into a practical biological science class by a group of young people.

However, Zhang Taichu was happy to see all this happen. He did not interfere, nor was he in a hurry to speed up the progress. He relied entirely on the "Pig King Combination" to lead the way.

So two days like this passed in the blink of an eye.

It took them a total of four days to go deep into the southwestern foothills of the Qinling Mountains. The straight-line distance now is 200 kilometers, and they have no idea which valley they have turned into.

"I say, Zhuge Qing, is he reliable? How about reconsidering and using my Dragon-Seeking Technique?" Zhang Chulan wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head to look at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, and wished he could quickly get into the dense primeval forest to escape the heat.

At this moment, they had been brought to a mountain ridge by Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye. The distance to the sky seemed to have been shortened a lot, and there were no big trees around to block the view. They could only endure the scorching sun.

At this time, Zhuge Qing, who was walking in front and leading the way, suddenly stiffened and stopped.

Zhang Chulan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Are you going to take my advice?"

Zhuge Qing said without even turning his head: "No, I realized we went the wrong way, we have to go back another twenty miles."

Zhang Chulan: “@***=＃#@”

……

The same situation happens from time to time.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, they were walking in the nameless forest as usual.

Zhuge Qing, who was maintaining the Wuhou formation, suddenly widened his eyes and couldn't help but shouting excitedly: "Nine out of ten, nine out of ten...Haha, we found it!"

"Right below here, there is an exaggeratedly large ground vein, which is exactly the same as what was speculated in the ancient animal skin book. The tomb of our ancestors is very likely on this ground vein. We can find it by following it!"

As he spoke, he stomped his foot hard, and the fluctuations belonging to Wu Hou Qi Men spread into the ground, trying to dig out the track of the earth vein completely. However, his face soon turned pale and he was unable to continue: "What's going on? How can this earth vein be hidden so deep!"

"Let me do it."

Wang Ye saw that Zhuge Qing was already powerless, so he took the initiative to shoulder the burden. With a thought, he used the Fenghou formation diagram to expand his perception, and soon extended it deep into the ground.

It was not until dozens or even a hundred feet later that the previously faint aura of the earth's veins began to become clear.

"Follow me."

Wang Ye turned around and reminded his companions. He also sensed the extraordinary nature of the earth's Qi veins. When this was confirmed by the Zhuge family's speculations over the generations, there was a 70% chance that the tomb of Wu Hou was located on this Qi vein!

Thinking of this, Wang Ye yawned, forced himself to cheer up, and grabbed this precious clue and continued on his way.

Just as he expected, as they moved forward, the earth's energy became more turbulent, and the direction of the mountains that came into view did change, gradually showing signs of a Feng Shui treasure land.

He stopped at the next fork in the road. Relying on his experience, after a brief hesitation, he chose a direction and continued forward.

As time passed, the scenes I saw gradually became more strange.

I saw that on the back of a mountain where the Qi vein extended, there was a forest of ginkgo trees all over the mountain. It looked very spiritual, growing from the back of the mountain all the way to the edge of the cliff.

At the end of the cliff, there is an ancient ginkgo tree that is so big that several people can hug it. It looks like it is hundreds or thousands of years old. It is lush and full of vitality!

It was the beginning of August, and the large gingko forest was still lush and green, looking very spiritual. There seemed to be more than tens of thousands of ginkgo trees all over the mountain, stretching from the back of the mountain to a protruding cliff.

At the end of the cliff, there is a huge ancient ginkgo tree, with a layer of emerald green glow on its surface under the sunlight.

The moment they saw this beautiful scenery, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Lu Linglong, Zhi Jinhua, and Chen Duo even pulled them, and the three of them rushed down directly and started taking pictures here and there, leaving behind many beautiful photos.

Standing on the hillside, Wang Ye looked at the large ginkgo forest. Blue light flowed in his eyes and his spirit was lifted. He realized that the tomb of Zhuge Wuhou might not be far away.

"It is said that ginkgo can store wind and gather energy. Being in this large wild forest really makes me feel relaxed and happy." Xiao Zizai sniffed lightly, feeling the fresh breath. He felt his whole head relax involuntarily, and even the flow of Qi in his body became much smoother.

Wang Ye explained: "There is an extremely thick vein of earth qi under the ground, which rises up here and approaches the surface, so there is such a lush ginkgo forest."

"What makes you feel relaxed physically and mentally is actually the dense earth Qi in the dark. Refining Qi in this place will also be twice as effective with half the effort."

As he spoke, he carefully sensed the direction of the earth's qi veins. His face changed and he said bitterly, "Could this ginkgo forest also be the work of the prime minister? When the earth's qi reaches here, it is attracted to the ground and spreads everywhere, just like diverting water into a lake and losing its accurate direction."

If it weren't for the naturally grown forest, he would really think that this was the backup plan left by Zhuge Kongming back then, artificially concealing the earth's qi veins to prevent people from finding the exact location of his tomb.

But if this is true, it also reflects in some ways that they have not chosen the wrong direction, and are even very close to it!

……

In the following time, everyone stopped here for a short while.

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing continued to explore the vast forest, racking their brains and using everything they had learned in their lives.

Zhang Chulan took "Grave Robbers' Notes" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light Bulb" from Lu Jin's bag, and a simple dowsing rod in the other hand, and took the official photographer Feng Baobao to check in here.

Lu Linglong was pulling Chen Duo and hugging the sturdy ginkgo tree at the end of the cliff, trying to measure the size of the tree with their chest.

Zhang Taichu and Lu Jin sat on the ground in an open area in the woods on the hillside, watching the younger generations' every move in the distance below the hillside.

"Old Lu, how does it feel to be sleeping outdoors with those noisy little guys these days? Can your body still bear it?" Zhang Taichu joked.

Lu Jin laughed heartily, and said with great joy: "Master, please don't look down on me. Back in the day, I was also a carefree and unrestrained wanderer who traveled all over the world."

"It's just that I've gotten older and have more things to do these years, so I don't go out as much as I should. Now, hanging out with these energetic little kids really brings back some of the passion I had back then. I think even if I can't find the Wuhou Tomb, it's worth the trip, haha."

Hearing this, Zhang Taichu nodded and smiled without saying anything. After sweeping across the surrounding mountains, his gaze naturally fell on the ginkgo tree that Lu Linglong was hugging.

……

Time passed by minute by minute, and the first people to make a discovery were Zhi Jinhua and Ma Xianhong. One of them used a drone computer, and the other used various magic weapons. They cooperated with each other and their efficiency was surprisingly high.

"If you ask me, technology is the primary productive force. Look, what is this!"

Zhi Jinhua's extremely excited voice immediately attracted the attention of the people around, and everyone gathered around. Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye, who were hiding in the mountains and forests, rushed over at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

"Huahua, what you mean is, could it be that you have found the tomb of Wu Hou?"

Lu Linglong looked curiously at the various precision machines placed next to Zhi Jinhua, and then her gaze turned to the computer screen in the center that was lighting up.

One of them is a picture of mountains taken from a drone looking down from high altitude, with a calm lake in the picture.

Zhi Jinhua pushed up her black-framed glasses and said excitedly, "Yes, there is an unnamed lake six kilometers away from here. From the terrain scanned by the machine, there are buildings arranged in a very regular pattern at the bottom. It is certain that it is not naturally formed. Ma Ge has also confirmed this with his own methods."

Ma Xianhong nodded and lightly clicked the glasses on his left side. Then an illusory image appeared in front of everyone. It was the three-dimensional projection of the place where the big lake was.

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked it, causing all the water in the lake to disappear, revealing the bumpy bottom.

With another flip of his finger, the lake rotated 180 degrees, so that the bottom was right in front of everyone. They saw that there was indeed a square, extremely regular depression in the center of the lake, which really looked like an entrance to the underground.

Then the pit at the bottom of the lake was also scratched away, revealing the appearance of a lower layer, which was actually a huge hole, also square.

Ma Xianhong said: "It is impossible to know more specific information, but it is certain that there is a large hole underneath."

Zhuge Qing was extremely excited. He said "yes, yes, yes" three times and interrupted, "Let's set off without delay!"

Now that things have developed to this point, he is at least 70% sure that the mysterious building is his ancestral tomb. When he thinks of this, his heart beats faster and he can hardly calm down!

Finding the tomb of Wu Hou has been the long-cherished wish of his Zhuge family for thousands of years, and today he finally has the chance to realize it!

The younger generations looked at each other and became excited. Even Old Master Lu Jin laughed like a primary school student.

Only Zhang Taichu, who remained silent the whole time, had a faint smile on his face. As he followed the large group to the lake, his eyes vaguely glanced at the ginkgo tree king at the end of the cliff again.

……

With their astonishing discovery, everyone flew almost like flying. In less than ten minutes, they arrived in front of the lake that was scanned by the drone, six kilometers away.

It is more like a deep pool than a lake. It appears dark green under the refraction of sunlight and its depth is difficult to measure.

"In other words, if we want to enter Wuhou's tomb, we have to dive down?" Zhang Chulan looked at the dark surface of the pool and felt nervous subconsciously.

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing exchanged a glance, then took a step forward, and the Fenghou formation diagram reappeared, and he shouted in a low voice: "Kan Zi·Shui Long Yin!"

Chapter 217 Yuan Jiu’s chain locks, the tomb door opens!

"Kanzi·Shuilongyin!"

Wang Ye let out a low shout, and when he took a step forward, a strange aura directly covered the entire venue.

Then, the originally calm surface of the lake suddenly began to fluctuate violently, like a boiling boiler. Thick streams of water rushed into the air, as if being kneaded together by an invisible giant hand.

The pool is unknown how deep it is, whether it is tens or even a hundred feet, and there is no telling how much water it stores. At this moment, all the water is sucked into the air, and gradually it becomes the shape of a gigantic four-clawed dragon, with no end in sight, and it has the potential to cover the sky and the sun!

As Wang Ye waved his hand, the water dragon also flew back and forth in the air, continuously absorbing the remaining water in the pool. In a short moment, the previously dark and deep pool was reduced to a huge black pit without even a drop of water.

Wang Ye took another deep breath and tore fiercely with both hands. The giant dragon that was hundreds of feet long flew to a very far distance. When it was no longer able to sustain itself, it exploded and turned into a heavy rain that affected an area of ​​several miles in radius!

The younger generations were all shocked when they saw this scene, and had a new understanding of Master Wang’s strength!

Zhuge Qing gave a thumbs up to Wang Ye, who looked a little pale, and said, "You are the one who knows how to act smart."

Wang Ye laughed, looked at Zhang Taichu for instructions, and then called out to everyone, "Everyone, let's go in!"

As he spoke, he took the first step and leaped into the huge pit whose bottom was invisible. Everyone followed closely behind him, using the irregular and rough rock walls as a buffer. After a dozen breaths, they all descended safely to the bottom of the pit.

"It's so dark, I can't see anything."

Zhang Chulan muttered, and then a bright flash of lightning appeared at his fingertips, dispelling the darkness before his eyes and revealing the true situation at the bottom, which was all puddles of mud and black rocks exposed on the ground.

Zhi Jinhua retrieved the previously acquired pictures from the computer, walked in front, and led everyone towards the square entrance of the unknown tunnel. Beside her, Zhang Taichu followed slowly with his hands behind his back, bringing infinite sense of security.

At the end of the team was Lu Jin, who was responsible for covering their retreat. He was on guard against possible sudden changes. At this moment, he was approaching the mysterious tomb. If it was really the tomb of Wu Hou, he was afraid that it would be very dangerous.

The journey was safe and sound. About two minutes later, a huge stone building lying in the mud appeared in front of everyone. It was a stone door several meters long and wide, with strange symbols and patterns carved on the surface. It was also inlaid with two upward-protruding copper heads of Pixiu, wearing huge copper rings.

"Could this be... the entrance to Wu Hou's tomb?" Zhuge Qing widened his eyes and walked around the intersection twice, feeling a little dreamy.

"We'll know if it's true or not once we try it. You all need to be careful." Zhang Taichu said with a smile, his words full of encouragement.

Zhuge Qing nodded and bent down very carefully. He did not touch the stone door directly with his hands, but carefully looked at the patterns on it, fearing that there would be any accidents.

Wang Ye, Ma Xianhong and Zhang Lingyu, who were standing by, all came over, and there was a hint of nervousness in their eyes.

This is not an ordinary blind box, but it is very likely the resting place of the greatest alien in history. Many places in it cannot be judged by common sense.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhuge Qing discovered a clue and recognized that the patterns on the stone road were some kind of strange forbidden formation that required unique means to unlock.

"This is the Yuanjiu chain lock passed down by my Zhuge family. This is most likely the burial place of my Zhuge family's ancestors!"

Zhuge Qing said excitedly, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and he looked even more excited. At this moment, he was even 99% sure that this tomb belonged to his ancestor Zhuge Kongming!

When everyone heard this discovery, they were excited again and wanted to rush in immediately to see what the legendary tomb of Wu Hou looked like.

Zhang Chulan held two large shovels in his hands, with lightning arcs wrapped around the shovel handles. He stared at the stone gate with full vigilance.

These days, he has been flipping through Master Lu's tomb-robbing notebook when he has nothing to do. He heard that this kind of tomb-robbing work is always very strange, and thousand-year-old rice dumplings are a common customer!

But the situation was different from what he expected.

But Zhuge Qing was seen squatting beside the stone gate, his eyes glowing blue, and his fingertips touched a certain part of the stone gate, triggering a mechanism that caused the strange symbol to light up.

Strange symbols floated in the air one by one, like tangled chains, looking extremely chaotic, but as the decryption progressed, the restriction was easily solved and gradually sorted out into an orderly appearance.

As the next patriarch of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Qing is naturally very familiar with the restrictions of his own family. It is only a matter of time before he breaks open the door of the tomb.

At this time, Zhi Jinhua on the side spoke up and made a suggestion: "I say, why don't we just use explosives to blow it up?"

As she spoke, she took out two brick-sized pieces of white plastic from her bag. "This is extremely powerful high explosive. With these two pieces in my hand, it's more than enough to blow up the mountain. I think that no matter what material the stone gate is made of, it can't stop us. This can also save some time."

Wang Ye, who was squatting beside the stone gate, looked at Zhi Jinhua with a strange look and patiently explained, "This is a restriction left by Prime Minister Zhuge. Do you really think that this stone gate is just a stone gate? If you force your way in, who knows what kind of trouble you might get into."
