Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

Although they had a clue, with that clue and fewer than ten people, trying to find an ancient tomb in the vast grasslands was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, for Wang Gua and his group, this was something they had to do.

After wandering aimlessly for three days, Wang Gua found a pond nearby and led the group to rest there.

The so-called "water pools" are locations where groundwater seeps out. These seepage points often change depending on factors such as water level, and it's not easy to find them unless you're a very experienced herder.

At that time, Wang Gua could see clearly that Su Chen was really risking his life against these two people. Although he didn't completely trust Su Chen, his attitude towards Su Chen changed a lot.

He said, holding the water he had just filled.

"According to the map, this area is most likely the location you mentioned. I wonder if you can see anything from it?"

“This place is not like the mountains. The mountain terrain has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and it is easy to see what is there. On the grassland, there are only hills and deserts, and these things are constantly changing unless you can find something that is unchanging.”

Su Chen wasn't exaggerating. The prerequisite for finding auspicious burial sites is having something to refer to. As for these hills that change only once every few hundred years, what reference could he possibly have?

As his voice faded, A-Yun spoke up.

"Although we haven't seen Zhang Qiling and the others these days, I reckon they're looking for us. We'd better act quickly, or we might run into some trouble."

"Yes, it would be great if this spot were as noticeable as a roe deer."

Wang Gua scratched his head and sighed.

After all, you can still tell the water bubbles, but you really can't tell the other parts.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen's eyes lit up. He looked at the puddle in front of him, slapped his forehead, and said...

“I almost forgot, if we figure out the direction of the water veins, we might have a chance to find the place.”

Is that even possible?

Wang Gua found this statement somewhat absurd, feeling that Chen Xuan was talking nonsense. However, seeing Chen Xuan's excited expression, he vaguely felt that Su Chen's words were not entirely unfounded.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Su Chen calmly offered an explanation.

The concept of "dragon veins" doesn't just refer to the direction of mountain ranges; underground water veins are also known as "hidden dragons." Although the water veins may have changed over the years, they have all left some traces, making them relatively easy to find.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the group began their search.

They quickly found two or three bubbles, and based on their locations, Su Chen pieced together the approximate direction of the water vein on the map.

"Looking at the map, this underground water vein is gradually moving south, and it must have moved a little further north a few hundred years ago."

Su Chen naturally wouldn't be bound by outdated ideas and assume that the Mongol king's temple would be right next to the waterway.

The old lama had made it very clear that the key was to find the ossuary. After receiving confirmation, the group quickly continued northward.

Half a day later, an inconspicuous little earthen temple appeared before everyone's eyes.

The temple was only about two people tall, and the space inside was extremely cramped, with only one Buddha statue inside. Over time, the bones inside the Buddha statue have been faintly revealed.

"This is the Ossuary? There really are bones there?"

Ah Yun looked at the bones, her brows furrowing slightly, and asked with some curiosity.

After glancing at it, Wang Gua slowly spoke.

"This was probably done on purpose, to pinpoint the location of the ancient tomb. It should be directly below the ossuary. Let's get started now."

The Wang family members didn't need him to say anything more. They selected a few places and started to check them with the Luoyang shovel they had brought. They quickly found the rammed earth layer, and after confirming the location, they started digging.

Su Chen didn't need to worry about these things, so he simply found a sheltered spot with A-Yun and sat down.

"Is this Dragon-Seeking Technique really as miraculous as the legends say? Can I learn it?"

Unless you experience it firsthand, it's hard to imagine that an ancient tomb could be found in such a vast place.

Seeing that Su Chen didn't seem inclined to speak, Ayun took the initiative to ask him.

Su Chen didn't rule out the possibility of a definitive answer, and said calmly.

"The Dragon Seeking Technique relies mainly on talent, not just rote memorization. You need to learn how to apply the Dragon Seeking Technique and find what you need most in it."

"Am I not good enough?"

Ayun paused for a moment, and seeing that Su Chen did not agree directly, she vaguely guessed the reason and asked curiously.

Su Chen was also frank, offering no words of comfort whatsoever, and spoke directly.

"No, because your thinking is too rigid and you're prone to getting stuck in dead ends. So other methods are more suitable for you."

A gentle breeze blew, causing the grass to sway slightly, and a hint of helplessness and melancholy appeared on Su Chen's handsome profile.

Originally wanting to refute, A-Yun sat sullenly to the side, unsure of how to respond.

He couldn't very well thank Su Chen for this, so he could only nod helplessly, which was tantamount to acknowledging the statement.

Wang Gua came up with some dry food. Seeing the two sitting there, he misunderstood their relationship and spoke up.

"Getting married in the Wang family isn't easy; you'll have to go through some tests. You two need to work hard."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Upon hearing this, A-Yun's eyes widened in anger.

He picked up his dry rations with a huff, got up, and left.

Only then did Wang Gua realize that he had been playing matchmaker. He immediately showed a troubled expression, glanced at Su Chen silently, and then slowly said.

"Did I really see wrong?"

"You're no good at fighting, and you're no good at judging people either."

Hearing this, Su Chen shook his head helplessly and said something.

Of course, Wang Gua is actually quite good at fighting, but he can't beat guys like Zhang Qiling and Hei Bei Lao Liu, who are top-notch in both talent and strength.

However, after hearing Su Chen say that, he was also somewhat frustrated.

“I, Wang Gua, am a member of the Wang family in life and in death. That will never change. I may have misunderstood you before, and I apologize to you here. Please don’t mind.”

"Ah."

Su Chen was somewhat surprised. Although Wang Gua had a different stance from him, he was a decent person.

At least for now, he is being very honest with himself.

At the very least, she took the initiative to admit her previous mistakes, and from her actions, it seemed like she was apologizing to him.

Su Chen didn't keep pursuing him because of this.

"How much longer until we get down?"

"It was done in just a few hours. The main reason is that we brought less stuff and fewer people this time, otherwise it would have been even faster."

Wang Gua glanced at Su Chen and asked a question.

"You'll make a move down there too, right?"

"Ah."
