I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 170: Array Foundation Collapse
The old village chief and others urinated, and the urine flowed down like rain and fell into the pit.

"It's so immoral! Killing people is not the right path. This old village chief is really going too far." Zhang Chen watched from the side but did not intervene.

"Liu Ji, you will not die well! You will not die well!" Chen Xu's angry curse came from the pit below.

The people above the pit heard the angry curses coming from inside the pit, and they all laughed and mocked.

After everyone finished splashing water, they left together with smiles on their faces, leaving Chen Xu alone in the pit cursing.

He is about to die now, so of course he is not afraid of people outside anymore, so the insults he receives can be as harsh as they can be.

Zhang Chen watched everyone go away, then he removed the restrictions of the invisibility talisman and came to the front of the pit. Listening to the cursing sounds inside the pit, a puzzled look appeared in his eyes.

"Help! Someone come and save me!" After cursing for a while, Chen Xu shouted at the top of his voice in the pit.

"Who is calling for help?" Zhang Chen opened his mouth, stuck his head out and shouted towards the pit.

Chen Xu was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Chen's familiar face, because he had seen Zhang Chen outside. He said loudly, "Little brother, you are polite. Do you recognize me?"

"Of course I recognize you. Why did you bury yourself in the ground? Do you have any weird habits?" Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu, with only his head exposed, and couldn't help but make a joke.

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, Chen Xu in the pit wanted to curse, saying that this grandson was too mean. But he finally met a passerby, and he had to rely on him to get out.

"Little brother, please give me a hand and dig me out. I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future." Chen Xu said to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen squatted at the edge of the pit, sniffing the smell of urine and pinching his nose. "I heard that you have the ability to find dragons and veins? You just said there is a big tomb on this mountain. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true! If you are willing to rescue me, I will help you find the hiding place of the tomb, and all the treasures in the tomb will belong to you." Chen Xu said in the pit.

Zhang Chen glanced at Chen Xu in the pit and smelled the urine smell. He really didn't want to go down and dig the soil, so he directly pumped water to flush into the pit.

As the water flowed, the soil was washed away, and then the water flow turned into a tornado, carrying Chen Xu out of the pit.

Chen Xu rolled on the ground and quickly steadied himself. Even the dirt on his body was washed away by the water.

At this time, Chen Xu climbed up, looked at the water seeping into the soil, and then looked at the tall and graceful Zhang Chen, with a look of horror in his eyes: "God! You are a god!"

"I guess so." Zhang Chen nodded.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Chen Xu hurriedly bowed to Zhang Chen, his attitude more respectful than ever before.

"Don't be so polite. The so-called gods are just mortals." Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu, then sat down in a pit nearby. "I heard your conversation before. Do you know how to find dragons and explore veins?"

"Compared with Your Majesty, these little tricks passed down from my ancestors are not worth mentioning." Chen Xu said respectfully.

"I am very interested in the tomb you mentioned. You said there is a feng shui formation on this mountain?" Zhang Chen said.

"There is a Feng Shui formation, and it is a Feng Shui formation covering a hundred miles. The fortune underneath must be incredible. Maybe it is the tomb left by the ancient gods in the legend. I originally wanted to keep this fortune for myself, and then come back to dig it secretly after I escape from the hands of this group of ruffians, but who knew that the group of villains wanted to bury me here forever. In order to survive, I wanted to sell the news in exchange for a chance to survive, but who knew that something went wrong, and then I was buried here." Chen Xu's voice was full of helplessness.

"You just said that this is the entrance to the tomb?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Logically it should be the entrance, but who knew that the rock layer would be dug out? It's really strange. My family has ancestral Feng Shui skills, and there is no way we can go wrong in finding the dragon points. According to Feng Shui's speculation, this place should be the entrance to the Feng Shui formation." Chen Xu muttered.

"Maybe the ancient gods had mysterious means to seal the entire tomb and turn all the soil into a mountain of bluestone. If we want to enter the tomb, we may have to chisel through dozens or hundreds of meters of bluestone." Zhang Chen said.

Chen Xu was stunned when he heard this. He felt that what Zhang Chen said made sense. He was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to come back to his senses and asked, "Who can dig through bluestone that is dozens of meters thick?"

"I naturally have the means to dig out bluestone." Zhang Chen said:

"So we have to trouble you to find the location of the main tomb chamber, and we will try to get in in one go."

Zhang Chen has the means to dig bluestone, so he has as much high-explosive gunpowder as he wants. As long as the route is correct, he will be able to blow it in sooner or later.

At this point, Zhang Chen asked tentatively: "I just saw a mountain suddenly collapse into rubble at the other end of the mountain. At the same time, there were lightning and thunder between the sky and the earth. I wonder why?"

"Where is it?" Chen Xu was surprised when he heard this: "Take me there quickly."

Zhang Chen didn't waste any time and led the way.

After climbing all the way to the top of the mountain, they saw the strange scene that was previously blocked by the mountain. Zhang Chen pointed at the falling lightning and asked Chen Xu: "Why did this happen?"

Chen Xu's face was serious, and he looked towards the thundercloud, as if trying to identify something. After a while, he finally spoke, "This tomb is not simple. It is beyond my imagination. I am afraid there is a mysterious power hidden in this tomb."

Before Zhang Chen could continue to ask questions, Chen Xu explained: "The mountain collapse and thunderstorm you saw were actually just the power of the Feng Shui formation. Someone destroyed a key 'suppression eye' of the Feng Shui formation and took away the suppressing object in the formation eye, causing that corner of the Feng Shui formation to collapse. Therefore, the Feng Shui formation leaked out and shattered the entire mountain. The leaked Feng Shui formation disturbed the power of heaven and earth and triggered the thunderstorm."

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this. Thinking of the beads he had taken away, he was speechless: "So the twelfth-level divine object is one of the key nodes of the suppression formation? Is it the node object of the suppression formation? Is it because I took away the divine object that suppressed the formation that caused all these consequences?"

Zhang Chen put his hands into his sleeves, playing with the khaki beads, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He never thought that all this was his fault.

"Sir, we are in big trouble now. The Feng Shui formation has been leaked, causing such a huge anomaly. It will definitely alarm the royal palace and the Inspection Office. By then, it will be extremely difficult for us to snatch the treasures from the tiger's mouth. In my opinion, we'd better retreat quickly to avoid fatal disaster." Chen Xu looked at Zhang Chen tentatively. He had walked in front of the gate of life and death, and now he was really scared. He didn't want to continue exploring at all.

This tomb involves mysterious powers, which are not something he can get involved in. Even if he has a god by his side, can he compete with the Procurator General?
"Can you confirm the entrance to the tomb? Or can you find the location of the main tomb chamber?" Zhang Chen asked.

"This Feng Shui formation is completely messed up, the magnetic field between heaven and earth is disordered, and I can no longer identify the location of the main tomb chamber. Unless the violent magnetic field of heaven and earth calms down, I may be able to give it a try." Chen Xu said. Zhang Chen was silent after hearing this. The sudden exposure of the imperial daughter's tomb was beyond his expectations.

But he was not afraid. With the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, he could deal with those who were stronger than him.

However, the only thing that is worrying now is how many powerful people will come here. If I blow up the mountain at this time, will I be making things difficult for others?

Zhang Chen looked at the thunderclouds in the sky. With the lightning connecting the sky and the earth, he was afraid that even a powerful Yin God would die instantly if he fell into it. The Feng Shui formation set up by the ancient gods in the past was really too overbearing.

Zhang Chen was looking at the Feng Shui formation, and at this time Chen Xu looked at Zhang Chen with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Sometimes people hate to covet things that do not belong to them.

Zhang Chen sighed softly: "This is really troublesome. It seems that I have no other choice but to let go."

"It is difficult for Your Majesty to snatch food from the tiger's mouth!" said Chen Xu.

"Do you think the Prince of Pingbian's Palace and the Inspection Office can find the location of the main tomb?" Zhang Chen asked the key question: "Is there anyone in the Prince of Pingbian's Palace or the Inspection Office who understands Feng Shui?"

"Of course there are, but those people's abilities are mediocre, not even one-tenth as good as mine." Chen Xu's voice was full of pride.

Zhang Chen glanced at Chen Xu, wondering if this guy was just bragging or if he really had the ability.

"When I first saw you, you seemed like a person of status and position, right? How did you end up like this?" Zhang Chen thought of the doubts in his mind and asked directly.

"The situation is stronger than people! I was careless. I noticed that the terrain here was unusual and wanted to take all the benefits of this place for myself, so I didn't look for help. As a result, I capsized in the ditch." Chen Xu said dejectedly.

Zhang Chen nodded and changed the subject: "As long as you can find the location of the main tomb, you will definitely benefit. I think I have some tricks, so I may be able to take advantage of the Jianxiaosi and Pingbian Wangfu. The Jianxiaosi and Pingbian Wangfu are mortal enemies, and there will definitely be an open and secret struggle between the two sides. This is the best time for us to take advantage of the chaos."

Chen Xu had no way to refute Zhang Chen's decision, so he could only smile bitterly and say, "Forget it, then I will have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany you."

"Thank you, sir. As long as you can find the entrance to the main tomb, everything else will be left to me." Zhang Chen bowed to Chen Xu and said, "If there are treasures in the tomb, I am willing to share them with you. If there are any mysterious things in it, I can also share them with you."

What Zhang Chen now lacks is a wedge that leads directly to the main tomb chamber.

"Mysterious!" Chen Xu's body trembled upon hearing this, and he became a little more excited. He pondered for a long time before saying, "I always feel that the location we excavated before can actually lead directly to the main tomb chamber."

"Are you sure?" Zhang Chen asked.

Chen Xu hesitated for a moment and held up five fingers: "50% sure! This is also the result of my observations in recent months. Apart from that place, I always feel that the rest of the places are a little lacking. But that place is all rocky, which does not fit my calculations at all, so I am beginning to doubt my judgment now."

"No, I think you are right!" Zhang Chen said, "Have you ever thought that there is a 'mystery' in the burial objects below? This is not an ordinary tomb at all, so it cannot be inferred by common sense. This is an ancient tomb of gods and demons, which was not built by ordinary means. So the rock layer you dug out may be the door of the tomb? Maybe this tomb has no entrance?"

Chen Xu was stunned when he heard this, as if he was struck by lightning.

"Let's go back!" Zhang Chen said to Chen Xu.

The two of them hurried back, but halfway through, Chen Xu staggered and almost fell into a deep pit in the mountains. He was too hungry, his hands and feet were weak from hunger, and sweat broke out on his body.

But Chen Xu still had a resolute expression on his face, and he still forced himself to get up and continue on his way.

"No need to rush. The way up and down the mountain is long. It won't be too late to fill our stomachs first and then continue on our way." Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu's condition. He was extremely hungry and it was impossible for him to climb the mountain.

There were still two hours of mountain road to go, and Chen Xu was afraid that he could not hold on, so Zhang Chen spoke to comfort Chen Xu.

Chen Xu forced a smile when he heard this: "Where can we get food in this barren mountain and old forest?"

Zhang Chen activated his animal taming skill and realized that there were indeed no animals nearby. The recent drought had caused countless animals to migrate or die, and it was difficult to find prey in the mountains.

"I'm going to find something to eat, you wait here." Zhang Chen said.

"Thank you very much. Your Majesty, if you continue to be so kind, I will repay you with gratitude." Chen Xu clasped his fists and bowed to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this, patted Chen Xu on the shoulder, and then walked towards the mountains.

He was not afraid that Chen Xu would run away, because no matter how fast Chen Xu ran, he could not match his speed of flying in the clouds.

Zhang Chen walked into the mountains and forests, and out of Chen Xu's sight, he turned into clouds and mist and disappeared.

The only food he could think of now was probably the big snake underground.

However, when Zhang Chen had only walked halfway through the mist, he saw hundreds of human figures walking among the mountains in the distance.

The leader was not very old, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a scholar's robe, with fair skin and a refined manner, looking like a wealthy man. The figures behind him were wearing iron armor, and although they were walking in the mountains, their steps were still swift.

"Coming so quickly?" Zhang Chen looked at the person who came, and the mist he transformed into directly turned into a pool of water, hiding under the dead leaves.

From afar, I heard a voice on the wind: "Young Master, I didn't expect that your good fortune has come. You came to the Northland to watch Na Zhuxun and Chen Sanliang discuss Taoism, but you didn't expect to meet a mysterious person halfway. You are destined to be born. There will definitely be a place for you in this world in the future."
