"I said, Mr. Chen, how did you find out about this?"
At this time, Wang Kaixuan came over carrying the snake body that was more than two meters long and marveled at it.
Because of the arrangement of the two of them, he and Hu Bayi always paid attention to the movements in front, so they were very sure that what Chen Ziyan was looking at was the other side.
"Me." Seeing Yingzi and Hu Bayi also casting curious glances, Chen Ziyan smiled slightly and pointed to his ear: "I heard it."
None of the three people traveling with him noticed that Chen Ziyan seemed to be enjoying the scenery and enjoying himself along the way.
But at the same time, he has been adapting to local conditions and practicing the secret techniques of Xiling inheritance.
For example, the technique of throwing stones just now is a hidden weapon technique from the inheritance - hand-throwing arrow.
And he was able to discover this snake waiting for an opportunity to move, thanks to a prerequisite skill of "the method of hearing the mountain and identifying the dragon" - identifying the position by listening to the sound.
Although Chen Ziyan is also a novice on the road, he can't hide any disturbance within one or two meters from his side.
"Huh?" At this moment, Yingzi looked at the snake corpse in Wang Kaixuan's hand and suddenly said in confusion: "How come I haven't seen this snake before?"
Hearing Yingzi's words, other people also looked over. You must know that this is the first time Yingzi has said the three words "I don't know".
Chen Ziyan suddenly felt something strange, took the snake body from Wang Kaixuan's hand, and began to look at it carefully.
Based on Yingzi's performance along the way, there must be something extraordinary about the species she doesn't recognize.
After studying for a while, Chen Ziyan discovered something was wrong.
Although this thing looks like a snake, it is not actually a snake, but a rare variant mentioned in the inheritance.
Eel!
"Brother Chen, do you know what this is?"
Yingzi saw the change in Chen Ziyan's expression and guessed that he might know something, so she asked curiously.
"This is not a snake." Chen Ziyan said firmly.
"It's not a snake?" Wang Kaixuan looked at the snake body in Chen Ziyan's hand in surprise. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it must be a snake.
"Master Chen, is there any secret here?" Hu Bayi directly asked his doubts.
"Look at this." Chen Ziyan borrowed Yingzi's hunting knife and scraped the remains of the body a few times, revealing the fine scales hidden by the soil.
"This should be a strange beast that looks like a snake but is not a snake. Its name is the earth eel, also known as the Earth Dragon of Venus."
"Earth dragon? Just this little thing?"
Wang Kaixuan saw that the remaining body was only two meters long and no more than three fingers wide, so he felt that it was not worthy of the title of dragon.
"A gadget?" Chen Ziyan put the remains of the eel into a sealed bag and said meaningfully: "This seems to be just a cub. According to ancient records, the adult Venus Earth Dragon is more than three feet long."
"More than three feet long?"
Wang Kaixuan suddenly became excited and quickly looked around him with vigilance.
What is the concept of three feet?
That's definitely not a size that the two engineering shovels they have on hand can handle.
Since there is already a small one, will the big one be far behind?
"Yingzi, Mr. Chen, I think we should leave here first." Hu Bayi also suggested quickly.
I didn’t think it was anything just now. After all, it’s normal for snakes, insects, rats, and ants to appear in these deep mountains and old forests. But if there were really big guys three feet long, it would be really overwhelming.
Regarding Hu Bayi's proposal, Wang Kaixuan and Yingzi agreed with both hands. They also did not want to encounter the adult Venus Earth Dragon mentioned by Chen Ziyan.
Naturally, Chen Ziyan would not object. After asking Yingzi to remember the location, he led everyone away from here.
There is indeed nothing they can do about the Venus Earth Dragon now, but that doesn't mean there won't be anything they can do in the future. Whether the Earth Dragon is skin or bones, they are all top-notch materials. Chen Ziyan doesn't want to just let it go.
After continuing to move forward for two days, everyone finally entered the territory of Heifengkou.
Standing on a hillside and looking far away, you can see that at the end of the jungle is a vast grassland that can't be seen to the edge.
Seeing such a scene, Chen Ziyan felt refreshed.
Although this primitive jungle has a unique style, it still feels a little boring after watching it for so many days.
Now that I suddenly see such an empty scenery, the feeling is really hard to describe.
It's like a person who eats plenty of meat and fish all year round but occasionally eats vegetables.
"Lao Hu, Mr. Chen, there is the black wind outlet in front of us. Can you see anything?"
After Wang Kaixuan took a deep breath, he looked at Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi beside him and asked.
He had always been blind to these things, and now that he had reached the place, he wanted to know if there was a tomb here.
Chen Ziyan did not answer, but also looked at Hu Bayi.
He knows hammer feng shui!
Hu Bayi looked at the trend of the mountains and rivers around him, and had no idea for a while. But when he saw Chen Ziyan looking at him, he knew that he couldn't show his timidity at this time, so he smiled and said:
"Don't worry now. When we get to the Savage Valley, it will be fine if there is no ancient tomb. If there is, then I will definitely be able to find it."
It should be noted that the key to tomb robbing lies in finding tombs. If you don’t have the ability to find tombs, you will be like a headless fly.
In such a vast and boundless place, even if you wander around for a few years, you may not be able to find a trace.
And Hu Bayi's ability is exactly this ability to divide gold into fixed points, so he has such confidence.
"Anyway, I have some time to spare, Lao Hu, just tell me about it!" Wang Kaixuan became interested instantly.
It's not that he wants to learn these things, but that after traveling through mountains and rivers, he feels bored even more with his personality, and wants to use Hu Bayi's popular science to relieve his boredom.
"Then I'll tell you about it."
Hu Bayi didn't know that the fat man thought he was a storyteller. He thought he really wanted to learn, so he said:
"Since ancient times, no matter which dynasty or generation it is, the form of this tomb has been derived from the sixty-four hexagrams created by Fu Xi. The so-called Five Elements Feng Shui Bureau that emphasizes the form of occupying the world can be summed up in eight words: Within the creation, the heaven
One body."
"It can be said that this tomb culture is one of the essences of Chinese civilization. The tombs of the Jin and Liao Dynasties are mostly imitated in the Central Plains, so the difference is not that big."
What Hu Bayi explained this time was all pure knowledge, and there were no interesting ancient stories that Wang Kaixuan wanted to hear, so the guy lost interest after listening to a few words and turned his head to look at Yingzi.
"I'm talking to Yingzi, do you know what's going on in the Savage Valley? What on earth is that Savage?"
Before Yingzi could answer, Hu Bayi, who was a little unhappy, laughed and scolded: "I asked you, fat man, if you can have some culture. As the name suggests, this savage is a wild person. You need to strengthen the cultivation of basic common sense in the future.
”
Wang Kaixuan couldn't hear the teasing in his words, but he ignored it.
Yingzi thought for a while and said: "I don't know much about this. I know that Yerengou used to be called 'Dead Man Gou', and further back it was called 'Pengyue Gou'. It has always been the name of the Great Jin Dynasty."
The cemetery of the nobles."
"It is said that the Mongolian army defeated the Jin soldiers here, and the corpses almost filled the entire valley, so the locals later called it the 'Dead Man's ditch', and it was not many years ago that it was changed to the Savage ditch."
