Chapter 805: with translation of chapter title

The mountain range opposite is called Yingjun Mountain.

This golden luopan itself was unearthed from an ancient tomb buried in Yingjun Mountain; its original purpose was to stabilize and drive the mountain range's feng shui, gathering qi and generating wealth.

Therefore, when the golden luopan approaches Yingjun Mountain again, it naturally will move.

Xiao Jiu stared at the golden luopan's needle; the longer she looked, the tighter her brows furrowed.

At first, when they were still far from Yingjun Mountain, the golden luopan's needle turned very smoothly.

But as the vehicle drew nearer, the golden luopan's needle became somewhat stuck.

The pure-gold needle seemed suppressed by a powerful force, constantly trembling and pressing down, as if it might break at any moment.

What's going on?

The golden luopan was born for the ancient tomb of Yingjun Mountain; it should be perfectly matched to the mountain's overall feng shui layout, not exhibit this kind of suppression.

It appears the feng shui layout of Yingjun Mountain has indeed been altered by the other side.

According to common sense, they wouldn't dare alter the feng shui inside the tomb; they can only tamper with Yingjun Mountain itself.

The vehicle had come all the way without obstruction.

Although Hui Moqiong had conducted a prior, covert reconnaissance of Yingjun Mountain, and his men had cleared the way ahead, the opponent is no ordinary person; such smooth progress still makes one feel uneasy.

After all, they have been entrenched around Yingjun Mountain for decades; it's impossible they'd have no defenses.

Xiao Jiu was thinking when Gu Ya beside her suddenly moaned.

In fact, since the golden luopan first showed movement, Gu Ya's lower abdomen had been cramping.

She had been enduring it.

But the closer they got to Yingjun Mountain, the more severe the cramping in her lower abdomen became.

That vague sense of fear surged again.

Even with Xiao Jiu, whom she trusted most, by her side, Gu Ya's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

By now, Gu Ya could hardly bear it any longer; she bit her lip, dug her nails into her palms, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Xiao Jiu noticed and immediately said, "Fifth Lord Hui, find a more concealed spot to park."

Hui Moqiong instantly locked onto a shady spot behind a large tree and parked the vehicle there.

Xiao Jiu took out a tissue, wiping Gu Ya's sweat while asking about her condition.

Gu Ya said painfully, "Xiao Jiu Zhanggui, I feel like I'm about to give birth."

Xiao Jiu glanced at the growing rain outside the window and said, "They are busy preparing; tonight you should give birth, Gu Ya—don't be afraid, don't have any reservations; let the Little Guy come when he comes, everything will take its natural course."

Gu Ya nodded firmly.

Xiao Jiu summoned the Soul-guiding Lamp and placed it beside Gu Ya.

Then she said to Hui Moqiong, "The feng shui of Yingjun Mountain is off; you stay here to guard Gu Ya while I go up the mountain alone to check."

Hui Moqiong dared not let Xiao Jiu venture alone, saying, "Xiao Jiu, we've already scouted the route into the tomb; there shouldn't be any mishaps. Time is pressing—I think it's safer to first send Gu Ya into the tomb, in case she gives birth in the vehicle…"

"Fifth Lord Hui, even if I'm exposed, do you think they could handle me?" Xiao Jiu countered.

Hui Moqiong was instantly speechless.

Yeah, if it weren't for the greater good, Xiao Jiu could burn this mountain to a crisp with a single blaze of Nirvana fire.

She can also fly.

Xiao Jiu is no longer the Xiao Jiu of eight or nine years ago.

Rather than worry about Xiao Jiu's safety, it's better to first look after Gu Ya.

Hui Moqiong silently convinced himself and urged, "I know you can protect yourself, but we have a plan in place, right? Xiao Jiu, go quickly and return quickly; try not to disrupt the plan, since the manpower we brought is limited after all."

Xiao Jiu nodded, opened the car door, and swiftly ascended Yingjun Mountain.

Yingjun Mountain is an excellent feng shui treasure land; the whole mountain is covered in lush trees, and though one is deep in the forest while heavy rain falls outside, only a little seeps in—yet the humidity is so great that it's easy to lose one's bearings.

If an ordinary person loses direction in such a forest, even breaking their legs running would hardly let them find their way out.

Xiao Jiu held the box containing the golden luopan in her hand, observing the needle's condition as she walked.

Soon she discovered that, the higher she went up the mountain, the greater the amplitude of the needle's downward pressure and trembling.

Obviously, the crux of the problem lies above.

This coincides with Xiao Jiu's thought; the other side indeed dare not tamper recklessly inside the tomb.

Gripping the golden luopan, Xiao Jiu quickly locked onto a direction and hurried toward it.

She is agile, her steps light, gliding past and leaving hardly any trace.

After a few minutes, Xiao Jiu was already standing on one of the ridges of the Yingjun Mountain range.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiu saw nothing amiss on that ridge.

The summit is still covered everywhere with trees; even if a drone flew up now to shoot downward, it would capture only trees.

Yet a treasure like the golden luopan, unless it has suffered Heavy Damage, could not possibly malfunction for no reason.

Where exactly is the problem?

Time waits for no one; every minute and second now is precious.

Xiao Jiu kept turning in place, her eyes missing nothing around her.

Every tree, every stone, even every fallen leaf underfoot—she had to look at it, step on it…

After two or three minutes like that, Xiao Jiu still found nothing.

The rain grew heavier, the treetops on the summit soaked through, muffled thunder rolled from the horizon, and intermittent flashes of lightning lit up the sky above the forest.

At the instant another flash of lightning blazed, Xiao Jiu abruptly halted her steps, staring fixedly at an old peach tree not far away, as thick as her thigh.

A peach tree?

In this part of Zhe, the mountains are mostly mixed coniferous and broadleaf, with some common bamboo groves.

Fruit trees like peach trees are generally planted in courtyards, front or back of houses.

It was still surprising to Xiao Jiu that such a large, thick old peach tree would appear on the summit of Seal Army Mountain.

After she came up, she quickly saw that old peach tree.

She hadn't thought much about it before, after all, although rare, it wasn't impossible.

But when thunder and lightning flashed, Xiao Jiu looked at that old peach tree again and was completely stunned.

So that's how it is!

Earlier, when looking toward Seal Army Mountain from the area of the Meng Family Ancestral Tomb, Xiao Jiu had said that the whole of Seal Army Mountain resembled the body and tail of a crouching giant dragon.

Their intention was to wait for Liu Junyan, this true dragon, to arrive, then manipulate the feng shui, borrow Liu Junyan's momentum, accomplish the feng shui pattern of 'True Dragon Entering the Chief,' and achieve their ultimate goal.

But looking at it now, Xiao Jiu feels that her earlier judgment was still too conservative.

They perhaps not only wanted to borrow Liu Junyan's momentum; they…… actually just wanted to keep this true dragon……
