She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 462 Something was discovered

"Today, I went to see the entrance to the former imperial mausoleum. It had been dug out of the ground by some cunning men.

I accidentally noticed that the pattern in the center of the stone gate at the entrance to the imperial mausoleum is somewhat unusual, and I wonder what it means.

Then the prince described the pattern he saw.

Everyone was thoughtful after hearing this.

Could that pattern be related to the treasure?

"Your Highness, let's take out the parchment and the imperial seal of the previous dynasty and have a look at it again." Shangguan Ziqi suggested. He felt that the prince's discovery was very likely a clue.

"Hmm. Maybe there's something we haven't discovered yet."

The prince asked someone to prepare a basin of hot water, and Prince Rong took out the original painting and spread it flat in the water.

The treasure map they had seen many times appeared again.

The eight words "the source of dragon veins, the secret of heaven and earth" are extremely clear.

"Hey, these characters look like they were written by the same person as the four characters '天命所归' on the stone gate. They both have the character '天' in them, and if you look closely, they look like an arrowhead with its tip missing.

The four characters "Tian Ming Suo Gui" on the stone gate were arranged in three rows, with Tian and Ming each occupying one row, and Suo Gui sitting at the bottom. The arrangement of the two characters, large and small, formed a small tower. The prince discovered something.

"Your Highness, do you mean this might be a hint?" Prince Rong asked in confusion after hearing this.

"Why don't we go and take a look now?" Prince Jing suggested.

Except for the prince, none of the other three had seen it, so they couldn't come to a conclusion.

"Yes, let's go and take a look and then come back to discuss it." Shangguan Ziqi agreed.

The prince nodded.

The picture in the water was folded up again, and once it left the water, the pattern on it slowly disappeared.

But everyone kept it in mind.

Without alerting the gangsters stationed not far from them, they quietly left the tent.

They used Qinggong to reach the entrance of the imperial mausoleum. The soldiers guarding the place saw them coming and wanted to go forward, but the prince waved them away.

The prince and several others stood in front of the stone gate at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, and the faint light of the torches reflected on the pattern on the top of the stone gate.

The pattern is complex and mysterious, with intertwined lines, which really gives people the feeling that there is some hidden meaning.

Several people stared at the pattern with frowns.

"The direction of the lines of this pattern seems to be related to the 'Source of Dragon Veins, Secret of Heaven and Earth' on the parchment." The prince said in a low voice.

"Indeed, the direction of these lines seems to be pointing in a certain direction. You see, the pyramid formed by 'Destiny' is like an arrow pointing directly to the south." The prince nodded in agreement.

Shangguan Ziqi also observed it carefully and said solemnly, "If this pattern is indeed a sign, then the treasure is likely in that direction. However, we still need to go on site to further confirm the exact location."

Shangguan Ziqi looked in the direction indicated by the "Heaven's Destiny" pyramid.

Prince Jing gripped the torch tightly and looked closely at the pattern on it. "In that case, we might as well explore in this direction first. Even if we can't find the entrance, at least we can narrow down the area."

The prince nodded in agreement.

"Okay, we'll look in that direction tomorrow.

However, the action must be secretive and must not be noticed by other people in the underworld.

The gangsters who cooperated with us were assigned to look for it elsewhere.

If it's as we suspected, we don't need to give the credit to the Jianghu people. If we find it and there really is a mechanism inside, we can ask them to dismantle it."

"Your Highness is absolutely right." Shangguan Ziqi also felt that there was no need to involve people from the martial arts world.

After discussing it, the few of them quietly left the entrance of the imperial mausoleum as they had come and returned to their residence.

The night was deep and the forest was silent. Only the dim light of torches swayed in the darkness, but everyone felt that they had a direction.

The next day, the prince assigned each team a search route as usual, and asked each team to pay attention to whether there were any caves or the like on the mountain wall.

Maybe it's in a cave that they haven't discovered, or maybe the branches and leaves of some trees are blocking the cave.

After all the other teams had left, the prince led his own team out.

Of course, those who were assigned to go were those gangsters.

Since the Jianghu people joined our team, we have never separated. This is also for safety.

At present, there are more and more people from the underworld in the entire Jiulong Mountain, and the preliminary estimate is that there are more than a thousand people.

It would be quite troublesome if they united to harm the prince and others for their own selfish interests.

The prince and others followed the direction indicated by the pattern and walked for about an hour before arriving at a valley.

The valley is densely wooded, the terrain is steep, and the jagged rocks on both sides form a natural barrier. Climbing to the top of the mountain is quite difficult without some skill.

The water flowing down from the mountain forms a small stream that flows towards the exit of the valley and merges into the Jiuhui River.

The prince stopped and looked around. "The terrain here is quite consistent with the 'source of the dragon vein' mentioned on the parchment. Perhaps the treasure is nearby."

The prince felt that they were closer to the treasure.

In fact, they had come here before, but found nothing.

At that time, they just took a quick look and found that it was no different from other places, so they did not conduct a intensive investigation.

"That's right, but this valley is quite large. The key is how we find the entrance." The prince agreed with the prince's point of view.

"Since the pattern on the stone gate is related to the text on the parchment, perhaps we can study the eight characters more carefully. This 'Secret of Heaven and Earth' may not only have a literal meaning, but may also imply some kind of mechanism or clue." Shangguan Ziqi looked around and said.

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Ziqi, you have a point. We might as well split up and look for any special signs related to 'Heaven and Earth' nearby. Don't miss out on the trees on the mountain either."

Several people, each with a few subordinates, searched carefully in the valley in different directions.

However, despite their best efforts, they were unable to find any obvious clues.

Every stone and every piece of terrain in the valley seemed to be ordinary and nothing special.

In the end, the few of them reunited, all with a hint of disappointment on their faces.

Prince Jing sighed, "We can only determine the approximate location from the map, but we can't find the specific entrance."

Everyone fell into deep thought.

The prince was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "We may need more clues. The pattern on the stone gate, the words on the parchment, and even the imperial seal of the previous dynasty may all hold the key to solving this mystery. Let's go back and study them more carefully, and perhaps we'll make some new discoveries."

"That's all we can do. However, today's action was not without results. At least we have determined the approximate location of the treasure. Next, we need more patience to observe." The prince sighed and said.

"Your Highness, don't lose heart. Treasure hunting is full of unknowns. Moreover, we only have a map and no other information. Or perhaps there was other information originally, but the royal family of the previous dynasty did not leave it behind. But I think as long as we persevere, we will eventually find it." Shangguan Ziqi comforted him, and was also comforting himself.

The prince took a deep breath and said, "You are right. Let's go back and make plans tomorrow."

After returning to the camp, the prince and others did not rest, but immediately reorganized the details of the parchment, the jade seal of the previous dynasty and the stone gate pattern, trying to find more clues from them.

The secret of the treasure may be hidden in these seemingly unrelated symbols and words. As long as you solve this puzzle, perhaps the entrance to the treasure can be found.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep, but the lights in the prince's tent were still brightly lit.

Several people sat together again and discussed today's actions in a low voice.

"Your Highness, how about asking my wife to come and take a look? Her observation skills may be sharper than ours." Shangguan Ziqi suddenly suggested.

He felt that his wife was from a later generation and might have a different way of looking at things than them, and might even be more inspired than these grown men.
