Compared with the Jin-Touching School Captain who relies on dividing the gold-defining cave to accurately make thieves, the Xieling Lishi relies on more people to dig tombs.
Tens of thousands of people waved hoes and shovels together, the loess was flying and the dust was dancing, and the scene was extremely huge.
Jia Chen smiled and said:
"Director Chen, digging like this will naturally lead to digging out the ancient tomb, but it takes time and effort. I can find a shortcut to the tomb gate."
Chen Zhuo's eyes lit up and he bowed:
"Then please ask Brother Jia to use his means and find the shortcut."
After saying that, he asked his subordinates to stop digging.
Jia Chen nodded slightly and walked to the mound with Lin Daiyu.
Before coming here, Jia Chen asked the blacksmith to create a Feng Shui compass.
He took out the compass, pointed the compass' finger at the mound, and squinted his eyes to observe.
"The entrance is a horse, the horse is Li hexagram, the horse is Wu horse, Wu belongs to the southern Li palace, Zi rat meets horse is Kan Li, Zi belongs to the northern Kan Palace, Wei sheep meets horse is Kun Li, Wei belongs to the southwest Kun Palace, Xu dog meets Xu Horse is Gan Li, Xu belongs to the northwest gan, and the upper gan and the lower gan are the gate of life."
Jia Chen murmured to himself, which made Lin Daiyu and Chen Zhuo stunned.
So professional?
Lin Daiyu was surprised. She never expected that Brother Chen was so proficient in Feng Shui and Xingxiang!
Jia Chen looked up at the sky, then looked at the trend of the surrounding mountains and rivers. He narrowed his eyes, turned his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed to a certain location on the mound and said:
“Dig down from this place!”
Chen Zhuo was overjoyed and believed it without doubt, so he ordered the heroes of the Heling to dig immediately.
Tens of thousands of people worked together, and the efficiency was extremely high. After one hour, they dug up more than 30 feet underground.
Such a thick mound is rare.
After digging about thirty feet, the hoes of the ridge-heeled men touched the hard stone slabs.
This is a bluestone slab.
Jia Chen looked at it and said:
"This is the tomb gate. If you open it, the tomb passage is below."
Chen Zhuo immediately ordered his men to do as they did.
The shaking heroes lifted the stone slabs, and a square passage appeared below, extending obliquely downward toward the ground.
There are dark holes in the passage, and there is no idea that there are unknown dangers hidden.
But Jia Chen doesn’t have to worry. The matter of getting the tomb is only required to be handed over to the Xialing Lishu.
Chen Zhuo ordered his men to enter the tomb passage.
After a while, screams and screams came from the tomb passage:
"Save me, save me..."
"Save me, save me..."
The screams from inside were extremely strange, and they turned out to be a continuous and mechanical life-saving sound.
It sounds like several people are shouting, but their tone is the same, as if they are possessed by a ghost.
Chen Zhuo's face changed slightly. He had encountered many strange things before, but this was the first time he encountered such strange things.
Lin Daiyu was also a little scared and subconsciously hugged Jia Chen's arm.
Feeling the softness and trembling on her arms, Jia Chen gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her:
"Don't be afraid, they have a lot of people, and even if there is any evil spirit, they can solve it."
As expected, as more and more powerful men in the Heling Road entered the tomb passage, the screams gradually disappeared.
More than an hour later, an excited cry came from the tomb passage:
"So much treasure! We're rich!"
More than half an hour later, the Heling Lishu drilled out of the tomb passage one after another and placed the treasures dug out in front of Chen Zhuo.
The Xiling Lishi industry should have strict rules and prohibit embezzling the open weapons. All treasures excavated by tomb robbers must be handed over to the Xiling leader and distributed by the Xiling leader.
If someone dares to embezzle him, he will break his tendons and expel him from the Xialing Sect.
So, no one dares to have bad thoughts.
Less than two hours later, all the powerful men in the Heling River came out.
Chen Zhuo counted the number of people and found that five people were missing.
A subordinate reported that he had encountered poisonous arrows and poisonous fog in the tomb just now.
Someone was infected with poisonous fog and had hallucinations. He kept shouting "Save me, save me." He probably was confused and saw something he shouldn't have seen.
The heroes of the Xiling lifted the bodies of the five people out of the entrance of the tomb passage.
Chen Zhuo ordered people to bury these five people.
I counted the harvest this time, including 2,000 taels of gold, 20,000 taels of silver, 10 gold pots, 20 silver pots, a pair of golden incense burners, ten jade beads, and eight pairs of jade Ruyi.
According to the previous agreement, Chen Zhuo gave Jia Chen two hundred taels of gold, two thousand taels of silver, a gold pot, two silver pots, and an jade bead.
In order to show sincerity, this time, Jia Chen was also given a golden incense burner and a pair of jade Ruyi, which was more than the pre-appointed agreement.
Jia Chen gained a lot of gains during this trip, and he used the method of dividing gold to determine the acupoints to continue to help Chen Zhuo find the ancient tomb.
At the same time, Liu Xianglian, Bao Yong and Wang Lang led the escort team to protect Jia Mu and Dai Quan into Luoyang City.
Luoyang Prefect Lu Xiangsheng personally received Jia Mu and Dai Quan because Jia Mu was the first-rank lady of the imperial edict, and Dai Quan was the inner minister. His majesty’s great companion now, and sometimes he spoke better than first-rank officials.
Jia Mu asked Liu Xianglian, what were they escorting?
Liu Xianglian naturally would not tell the truth. The box contained Jia Mu's private money. Jia Chen only told Liu Xianglian that this secret was the only one, and even Bao Yong and Wang Lang didn't know.
......
On the other side, Dorgon held his troops unmoved and sent someone to ask Huang Taiji for reinforcements.
But Huang Taiji was attacking Lin Danhan of Chahar's tribe at this time and wanted to block the Beijing reinforcements led by Wang Ziteng. He could not draw reinforcements to Dorgon at all.
Dorgon took the opportunity to send someone to propose to Huang Taiji again that he would suspend the attack on Shanhaiguan, and he and Duoduo led their troops to help Huang Taiji.
Due to the tight war, Huang Taiji accepted it happily.
Dorgon was slightly happy. In addition to helping Huang Taiji defeat Lin Danhan and Wang Ziteng, he also achieved the goal of avoiding the battlefield in Shanhaiguan.
Because Dorgon likes Jia Yuanchun, he doesn't want to fight to the death with him.
Last time Dorgon rode a horse to chase Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yuanchun actually ordered the gunner to fire at her, with the belief of dying together.
Dorgon did not want to force Jia Yuanchun to death. This time, as long as he joined forces with Huang Taiji and defeated Lin Danhan and Wang Ziteng, he could choose to capture other weak defense passes, cross the Great Wall, and detour to attack the heartland of the Central Plains.
In this way, even if Jia Yuanchun guards Shanhaiguan to the death, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry can still rush to the south and sweep across Liuhe.
By then, Shanhaiguan guarded by Jia Yuanchun would be just an isolated city. Dorgon could threaten and induce Jia Yuanchun to surrender and become his concubine.
The only regret now is that Su Malagu was captured by the Zhou army and entered Shanhaiguan.
Although Su Malagu is nominally a maid, she is actually like a sister with Da Yuer.
Dorgon had not yet fallen in love with Da Yuer, but he failed to protect Su Malagu, so he naturally couldn't explain to Da Yuer.
But now he fell in love with Jia Yuanchun, and his feelings for Da Yu'er became increasingly weak, so he didn't care about Su Malagu.
However, just as Dorgon and Duoduo led their troops to the Chahar tribe, Li Rusong, who was guarding Jimen, also led his troops to aid Lin Danhan and Wang Ziteng.
Li Rusong is the eldest son of the famous general Li Chengliang, and he is brave and good at fighting.
