~7 min read 1,314 words

Zhang Lin nodded slowly and said: "Since I said this is the key to King Lu Shangwang's tomb, there is definitely a signal. Let's not look at this gourd first; the key is the position of the toad."

"The position it is pointing to now is where the mechanism is located; the door to the tomb is in this place. Now, what needs to be done is to open the trigger for the mechanism, which is five steps away from where the toad's head is facing; there should be a corresponding mechanism there."

"It could be a stone slab, or it could be something like a lever; anyway, as long as you touch it, you should be able to see where the real mechanism is."

Zhang Lin didn't ramble and immediately stated the location of the mechanism, because explaining the subsequent matters was more complicated than it was now.

And those villagers would arrive soon; in case they used some violent means to smash the door open directly.

At that time, Yang Lu wouldn't want to make any extreme choices, but she would be forced to do so.

Now, the goal was to avoid the sharp edge, and this so-called sharp edge came from the villagers' ignorance.

So Zhang Lin had to seize the time; once they entered that gourd-mouth tomb, everything would stabilize, and the real crisis that needed to be faced would still come from the Wang family.

Regarding matters inside the tomb, Zhang Lin could handle them with ease and explain everything well.

But whenever any corresponding crisis was encountered, they could only rely on the Second Archaeological Team's own discernment, and in many situations, they could only rely on personal ability to complete subsequent matters.

The message was quickly transmitted to the Second Archaeological Team; Yang Lu didn't have any hesitation, and Wang Pangzi was the first to bear the brunt this time.

He also saw the weeds on the ground in the nearby area and hurriedly used his military shovel to sweep them aside horizontally; the moment he swept the weeds, he seemed to have hit something.

Wang Pangzi pressed down subconsciously, and unexpectedly, there was a 'click' sound; everyone looked at Wang Pangzi in astonishment!

Wang Pangzi hurriedly put down the military shovel in his hand and raised both hands above his head, looking like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing this scene, Yang Lu couldn't help but laugh, and in an instant, three stone pillars rose from the ground, each pillar carrying a toad.

They were pointing in the same direction; now there was no need for Zhang Lin to explain anything, as everyone knew this was the mechanism location Zhang Lin had mentioned.

And just the moment they saw the mechanism, shouting sounds suddenly came from outside.

That voice came precisely from Zha Long; this person was perhaps more furious than any other tribesman, because he attributed the fact that he had lost one of his eyes entirely to the Second Archaeological Team.

In his view, if these people hadn't come to the forbidden area of their tribe, such a thing would not have happened.

They themselves did not dare to enter such a forbidden area, and as long as these people entered, they could not just watch as the treasures that might exist in their tribe were taken away by some people.

Yang Lu's analysis of this group's purpose was not wrong at all, even if A Da had never said whether it was correct or not.

But he also understood in his heart that it was precisely this greed that led them to walk here, which was why they had to pay such a price.

If there hadn't been such greed, naturally, this Zha Long would not have become what he was now.

Only hearing Zha Long outside shouting at the top of his lungs: "This is the forbidden area of our tribe, and this is the temple left by our ancestors! You have trespassed here! It is a desecration of our ancestors! Come out and die!"

At this time, Zha Long was already insane, but En Kuan did not stop him.

And with the popping up of the mechanism, no one at the Crescent Hotel mentioned the mechanism itself; even though they saw those three stone pillars, they were already used to such things and didn't feel anything strange.

But what they were curious about was what Zha Long was shouting; at this time, someone raised their hand and asked: "Mr. Zhang, you just said that this Insect Valley is King Lu Shangwang's altar."

"And in this altar, his former tribesmen have long had no descendants; why do these people still claim that this temple was left by their ancestors?"

Zhang Lin smiled helplessly and said: "Pulling the tiger's skin to make a banner—it's not that whatever he says is true. The so-called descendants of King Lu Shangwang, the so-called ancestors of theirs, are nothing more than coming from those small tribes in the surrounding area; King Lu Shangwang would not have gathered all the tribes within the Insect Valley."

"And before he died, he must have been very hurried; also, regarding the things King Lu Shangwang did, I will tell you bit by bit later."

"Now I can give you a foreshadowing: if you think it is cruel for Wang Canghai to use living people for experiments, or that Queen Jingjue had so many burial objects, then the cruelty of these two people combined does not equal one ten-thousandth of King Lu Shangwang's."

Everyone gasped upon hearing this; this was the first time Zhang Lin had directly called an emperor cruel.

And they all knew very well that since Zhang Lin could speak to such an extent, it meant that the cruelty of this King Lu Shangwang far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Everyone listening to the book couldn't help but start to imagine through Zhang Lin's words: what kind of existence was King Lu Shangwang?

And to what extent was he cruel?

Looking at everyone's expressions, Zhang Lin waved his hand and said: "I said, these things will be told to you later; now the important thing is to crack this mechanism."

"I told you before that in Heavenly Star Feng Shui and all the methods of earth veins, there will always be some inherent ways. Do you remember the Sixteen Dragon-Searching Methods I told you about in the Ancient City of Jingjue?"

Everyone nodded subconsciously, and Zhang Lin smiled indifferently and continued: "This place is called the Nine-Curved Loop, which is also a type of Feng Shui method and mechanism technique."

Everyone looked at each other; for the idiom "Nine-Curved Loop" alone, they were not strangers to it at all, but through the four words spoken by Zhang Lin, they knew it must have a different definition.

At this time, no one opened their mouth to ask questions; they understood that since Zhang Lin said so, the next one would definitely give a very intuitive explanation.

And Zhang Lin spoke leisurely: "There is a formula in this, and this formula is the answer to cracking this mechanism."

"The so-called 'Groups of dragons traverse the mountains to make nine curves, each curve is a nine-fold loop. Beyond nine returns are nine turns, three by three entering the Spirit Mountain'."

Hearing this poem, naturally, no one had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and what Zhang Lin was talking about was the Dragon-Searching Formula classic from the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Arts.

Only by following the classic of the Dragon-Searching Formula could this mechanism be cracked.

Although they didn't understand what these poetic lines meant, they instinctively felt it was very powerful; the next moment, someone tentatively raised their hand and asked: "Mr. Zhang, can you explain the meaning of these poetic lines to us in detail?"
