The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"I think that to break this Bagua and Bamen Formation, we need to find the connection between the eight trigrams and eight gates. By the way, this terrain can also be considered as the Nine Palaces, with the coffin in the central palace."

“The connection…” Partridge Whistle pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

"The Qian (☰) Open Gate belongs to Metal, the Kan (☵) Rest Gate belongs to Water, and the Gen (☶) Life Gate belongs to Earth..."

"The only things related to the five elements in this underworld palace are the funerary objects on the wall!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun replied affirmatively.

"That's right. As long as we select the elemental artifacts that correspond to the Eight Trigrams, we should be able to break the deadlock."

"Brother Dao, I don't need to explain the Nine Palaces positions, do I?"

"nature!"

The two exchanged a glance, and then each walked to a tomb wall and began to examine the funerary objects on the wall.

Only the old foreigner and Hua stood beside the coffin, looking at Fang Yun and Partridge Whistle who were busy at work, lost in thought.

They lack experience; they don't even know much about Qimen Dunjia (damn it). When the Mountain Moving Taoists go down into tombs, they usually just force their way through the traps, so they can't help at all now.

Fang Yun and Partridge Whistle moved quickly, and in just a minute or two, they found the tongues of all the funerary objects and mechanisms on the eight tomb walls.

After all eight funerary mechanisms had been rotated once, the eight tomb walls trembled and then retreated back towards the octagonal beam.

at the same time.

The chessboard that was originally on the stone pillar was also split into several pieces, which were then erected and fell into the stone pillar.

Immediately afterwards, another small stone pillar rose up from inside that stone pillar.

On top of that stone pillar, a bronze box carved with auspicious clouds and four symbols was being dragged along.

As soon as the bronze box rose, the four symbols on it suddenly lifted up, revealing the scene inside.

Inside the box, a tortoise shell lay peacefully, with a human eye carved in the center and dense ancient characters carved around it.

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow! The Hidden Secrets of the Heavenly Book!

"Dragon Bone Heavenly Book!"

Upon seeing the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, Partridge Whistle exclaimed in surprise.

He walked quickly to the Four Symbols Box and took the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book in his hand with trembling hands.

"Senior brother, we can't understand this... How about we show it to Fang Yun?"

The old foreigner who was standing next to Partridge Whistle glanced at the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book and found that this piece of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book was the same as the previous one, with incomprehensible scribbles carved on it.

Upon hearing the old foreigner's words, Partridge Whistle handed the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book to Fang Yun with an expectant look on his face.

"Brother Fang... is the whereabouts of the Muchen Pearl recorded in this Heavenly Book?"

"Let me take a closer look."

As he spoke, Fang Yun took the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book in his hand and pretended to read it.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission: You have obtained the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book from Li Chunfeng's tomb."

"Mission Reward: Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, awaiting collection."

The system notification sounded as soon as the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book was obtained.

⑴00⑴67⑴０5

Hearing the notification sound, Fang Yun felt extremely relieved.

Daxia dragon bird!

After more than a year in the business, I finally got a weapon from the system that's suitable for slashing and wielding in the tomb!

Now, two of the five tasks are completed, and the remaining three tasks... can all be completed by entering the Tomb of King Xian once!

"Tomb of King Xian..."

Thinking about the remaining tasks, Fang Yun suppressed his desire to see the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and began reading the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

As expected!

It's the same ciphertext, and I still can't understand a thing!

But it's wrong to not understand it...

King Wen of Zhou used the sixteen-character celestial divination to deduce that the Muchen Pearl came from Kunlun Mountain and was related to longevity, but that was all he could deduce. King Wen of Zhou had no idea how to use the Muchen Pearl.

King Wen of Zhou was extremely frustrated, and he recorded his calculations of the Muchen Pearl in a secret script on the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

This cipher has two locks: a text lock and a pronunciation lock.

During the reign of King Wen of Zhou, there were eight pronunciations of characters in the world, but four of them were monopolized by the royal family and became the royal secret language, used specifically to record secrets that could not be known to outsiders.

To decipher this Dragon Bone Scripture, you not only need to understand the secret texts of the Western Zhou royal family, but also be able to read the four ancient pronunciations of the characters.

But three thousand years have passed... the secret texts and messages of the Western Zhou royal family have long since disappeared without a trace.

It is now impossible to learn the secret language (bjbd) of the Western Zhou royal family.

The only way to decipher the Dragon Bone Scripture is to find the secret text and code table left behind by the Western Zhou royal family, which is the code formula.

As far as Fang Yun knew... there really was such a cipher formula. There was one in the tomb of the King of Xian, and he remembered it was called something like the Sixteen-Character Jade Ring...

Li Chunfeng also had a solution, called the Beast Horn Riddle Gold Plate.

However... he doesn't need to bother with solving this mystery; he already knows the contents of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book—it's all nonsense.

All he needs to do is obtain the Muchen Pearl, perform a ritual at the Demon Kingdom ruins, and shut down the ritual channel connecting the imaginary space and reality.

Simple and convenient, it solves everything!

"Brother Fang, have you noticed anything?"

Seeing Fang Yunyun engrossed in reading the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, Partridge Whistle asked a question with some urgency.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun was taken aback, then immediately put on a serious expression and said, "I can see that."

"This dragon bone celestial book... does indeed record the location of the Muchen Pearl!"

"real?!"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Partridge Whistle, Old Foreigner, and Hua were all startled. They exchanged glances, their faces filled with ecstatic joy.

"The Muchen Pearl..."

"It's really found..."

"Heaven ultimately did not abandon Zagrama..."

Partridge Whistle was filled with mixed emotions of joy and sorrow, his expression constantly shifting. He shook his head, stumbled, and sat down on the ground. His eyes were red-rimmed, and with his eyes closed, he began to chatter. He read it like this.

Upon seeing this, the old foreigner and Hua patted Partridge Whistle, unsure of what to say for a moment.

The two of them had been in the Mountain Moving Clan for less than five years in total, but they knew how heavy the mission of that clan was. Partridge Whistle, on the other hand, had been bearing this responsibility since he was thirteen years old, and it had been fourteen years since then.

Even they felt intense resentment and grievance, so one can only imagine how Partridge Whistle felt.

Fang Yun didn't speak, but simply sat down and began to plan his trip to the tomb of the Prince of Xian.

The ancient immortal cave, Water Dragon Halo, is said to be unbreakable unless the heavens collapse, and is an immortal cave that can never be stolen...

Difficult!

.........

After a long while, Partridge Whistle calmed himself down, wiped away the tears in his eyes, stood up from the ground, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Fang Yun, saying:

“Brother Fang, Zaglama owes you a great debt. If needed, I, Partridge Whistle, am willing to repay you with my life!”

"Alright, alright, I've already told you not to be so polite with me."

Fang Yun stood up, waved his hand helplessly, and said, "Now that Hua is with me, we can be considered family."

"That's right, senior brother, we're family!"

At this moment, Hua hugged Fang Yun with a grin and smiled at Partridge Whistle.

"Yes.."

Partridge Whistle chuckled, exchanged a glance with the old foreigner, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

In an instant, the atmosphere inside the Underworld Palace warmed up again.

Partridge Whistle took a deep breath, a smile on his face, and asked expectantly, "Brother Fang, where exactly is the Muchen Pearl hidden?"

"The Tomb of King Xian!"

Under Partridge Whistle's expectant gaze, Fang Yun uttered three words calmly.

Tomb of King Xian?

Partridge Whistle was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Didn't Brother Fang say that the tomb of the King of Xian contained the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book?"

"That's right, there is indeed a Dragon Bone Heavenly Book hidden in the tomb of King Xian, but there is also the Muchen Pearl in the tomb of King Xian!"

Fang Yun nodded affirmatively and recounted the whole story to the three of them.

"I learned about this from this piece of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book. Li Chunfeng mentioned on it that there were originally only two pieces of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book."
