One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!
Chapter 100 Entering the Mine (Prologue)
Not only in Shacheng, but also within the Huo family, tremendous changes occurred. Because Huo San Niang had donated the mine tomb to Sun Yao, she was punished with confinement upon returning to the Huo family. However, fortunes change, and within just one day, both the outside world and the Huo family underwent significant transformations.
After the news of the Fourth Master's entire family being wiped out spread, Huo San Niang was also welcomed out of confinement by the Huo family.
Huo San Niang has now benefited from Sun Yao's influence, and her status in the Huo family has risen rapidly. Originally, she was just a head of the family who was constantly hampered, but now, although she is not the true head of the family, her voice is many times stronger than before.
Even Huo San Niang herself never imagined that she would be able to wield such great power in the Huo family, and this was simply because she had gotten in touch with Sun Yao. From the moment Huo San Niang left the Huo family ancestral hall, she had already made up her mind to cling to Sun Yao's coattails.
Regardless of the Huo family's situation, Chen Yulou's side had already gathered a large force of the Unloading Ridge in two days. Although the Unloading Ridge had 100,000 bandits gathered in the green forest, in reality, less than 10,000 of them had the ability to dig mountains and break into tombs. The rest were basically laborers; the capable brothers went into the tombs, and the uncapable brothers dug graves.
If it weren't for the special anti-theft measures in some tombs, with the setup of the Xieling faction, no tomb in the world could stop them from looting. After all, even if I can't loot your tomb, I can still dig you out directly.
However, as mentioned earlier, this method is not very effective for some special tombs. On a smaller scale, the Yuan Dynasty general's tomb that Hu Bayi visited had a feature like the Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glazed Tile Roof. On a larger scale, the world-famous First Emperor's tomb has a river of mercury.
If these things were unearthed, the casualties would be immense, which is why the Xieling sect dared not engage in large-scale grave robbing. Otherwise, what couldn't 10 people defeat?
This time, Chen Yulou gathered all eight thousand elite troops of the Unloading Ridge Army and brought them to Shacheng to await Sun Yao's orders.
Early that morning, before dawn, Sun Yao led Xiao Baiqi and Yue Qiluo out of his mansion. Old Dao Bazi wanted to go with him, but Sun Yao left him at home to manage all affairs.
The two got into the military off-road vehicle parked in front of their house and soon arrived outside Changsha. There, Hong Guniang and eight thousand Xieling disciples had been waiting for a long time. Chen Yulou had originally wanted to participate in this operation himself, but Sun Yao refused, arguing that a general should not be placed in a dangerous situation.
Chen Yulou knew very well that Sun Yao was right. So, even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to withdraw from the operation.
After the SUV came to a stop, Sun Yao opened the back door and got out, and Hong Guniang immediately came to his side.
"Master Dao, the brothers have been surveying the area for the past two days. With the help of Master Qi, we've confirmed that this mine is the human-shaped tomb you mentioned. However, Master Qi doesn't want us to go down into the tomb. You should talk to him about it yourself."
After Hong Guniang finished explaining the situation, she gave up her seat, and Qi Tiezui immediately squeezed in.
"Master Dao, we can't go down into this tomb! I've been walking around with my ancestral compass these past two days, and this isn't just a human-shaped tomb, it's a rare tomb of the dead. If it were just a human-shaped tomb, there would still be some pattern to it, since human-shaped tombs are connected by the body's acupoints. But this tomb of the dead, since the human form is dead, there are no patterns to it anymore. If you go in, you're almost certainly going to die."
Qi Tiezui became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice grew louder and faster, as if he were using these actions to emphasize the perilous nature of the tomb.
“I know all that you’re talking about. I even knew it before I came to Shacheng. I also know who the owner of this tomb is and what kind of traps are inside. Of course I know this tomb is extremely dangerous, but fortune often comes from danger. When have people who do this kind of work ever been afraid of danger?”
After Sun Yao finished speaking, the brothers of Xieling all burst into laughter.
"The Taoist priest is right! In this business, we risk our lives; when have we ever been afraid?"
"Yes, if we were really afraid, we would have gone to do something else long ago. Fortune favors the bold, and wealth often comes from danger!"
After hearing Sun Yao's words, the brothers of the Unloading Ridge started to cheer and make a fuss.
"Alright, that's enough." Sun Yao simply raised his hand, and all the brothers of the Unloading Ridge stopped laughing.
"Of course I know this tomb raiding trip is fraught with danger, but with me here, none of these will be problems. I believe you have heard the saying, 'Heaven bestows blessings, and all taboos are lifted.' You also know that I am blessed with the destiny of a true dragon. You are a sorcerer, so tell me, what would happen if a true dragon were bestowed upon you?"
"Bearing the true dragon's fortune, one will naturally have the support of heaven and earth when the time is right, and all things will be done according to one's will."
"Yes, you're right. You've already made that deduction yourself, so don't you believe in yourself? But even if you don't believe in yourself, you should believe in me. If you don't believe me, then use your Qimen Dunjia divination to cast a hexagram."
"Master Dao, you're joking again. How could I dare to divine your fate? I've been lying here for a whole day and night just looking at you. Divining your fate? Do you even want to keep my life?"
"Who said you were counting on me? Count on yourself! Calculate whether your trip will be dangerous."
"Oh dear, how come I didn't think of that?"
Qi Tiezui slapped his forehead and immediately sat cross-legged to begin fortune-telling. Others might not have seen it, but Sun Yao could see it clearly. From the moment Qi Tiezui sat down, a Qimen Bagua formation appeared beneath him.
However, the Qimen Bagua formation beneath him operated on its own, unlike Wang Ye's formation which could be manipulated at will, creating a more awe-inspiring effect.
"A close call! A close call indeed! As expected of the Daoist Master, who is protected by a true dragon, following him through this underground world is a breeze!"
After Qi Tiezui finished calculating his own fate, he immediately jumped up, and the Qimen Bagua formation beneath him disappeared. However, this Qimen Bagua formation gave Sun Yao some new insights; the Qimen Bagua method truly encompassed the Dao of Heaven and Earth and all things.
No wonder Feng Hou Qi Men dares to claim to be the master of the universe, for the changes in the universe transform me into king. By casually manipulating the four plates and eight gates, one has already achieved control over the natural world. In other words, within this Qi Men Bagua formation, the one who sets up the formation is already the master of heaven and earth.
It seems that the interpretation of Feng Hou Qi Men in the Under One Person comic is somewhat limited, or perhaps Wang Ye has not actually mastered Feng Hou Qi Men.
Otherwise, without needing those techniques like the characters for "Li," "Kan," or "Qian," he could simply use a single thought to control everything within the Qimen Formation at will.
