Chapter 213: The Animal Skin Map and the Secret of the Earth Thief
"Huh?"
Hearing Liang Shanbo's scream, Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong looked at it at the same time.
"What happened? I was shocked."
Cao Xiong muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Nothing, according to what you said, the layout of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is a big Feng Shui array, right?
Then look at the small seals marked on this animal skin map. Here is the Qiantian hexagram, and here is the Dikun hexagram, and the corresponding one is the Shi hexagram. What do these words mean?"
Liang Shanbo asked in confusion.
Liu Shiba laughed casually when he heard this:
"Isn't this the sixty hexagrams in the Book of Changes? I remember, didn't Lao Cao also know the sixty-four hexagrams of money?"
After saying this, Liu Shiba's face froze, as if he had thought of something...
Cao Xiong also changed his color when he heard this. He patted his gray head in sudden realization and said:
"If the evil hexagram shows the location of Qin Shihuang's virtual mausoleum, that is to say, the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum is on the evil hexagram, does that mean that the place representing the upper hexagram is the real location of Qin Shihuang's tomb?"
Liu Shiba's eyes widened, he snatched the animal skin map and took a closer look...
After a long time, Liu Shiba threw the map away in annoyance and said:
"Old Cao, you are more familiar with the sixty-four hexagrams than me. Come on..."
When Cao Xiong heard this, he pursed his lips and said:
"Master said you just need to learn if you don't understand. When will you be considered a real and successful captain like you?"
After all, Cao Xiong picked up the map and figured it out slowly...
“Recalling the topography of the Imperial Tomb at Lishan, the worst feng shui is the Lishan Mountain to the south of the Imperial Tomb and the Wei River to the north.
The south side represents the direction of Li Gua, and the north side represents the direction of Kan Gua. The Li Gua in the south has three Feng Shui hexagrams, Bing, Wu and Ding, and the Kan Gua in the north has three Feng Shui hexagrams, Renzigui.
Among the two hexagrams Kan and Li, only the Wu hexagram in the south represents time. Since Wu is a horse, it represents the Year of the Horse.
The Zi hexagram in the north represents the Year of the Rat. In this Feng Shui formation, if a person born in the year of Rat or Horse is the emperor, he will be destroyed in the Year of Zi or the Year of Wu.
It just so happens that Hu Hai, the second son of Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, was born in the year of the Horse."
While studying the map, Cao Xiong followed the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes and slowly speculated on the truth buried in the appearance.
Liu Shiba listened solemnly to Cao Xiong's analysis and asked one or two key questions from time to time. He was indeed not very proficient in history.
Looking at Liu Shiba's eyes full of curiosity, Cao Xiong smiled slightly and continued to explain:
"According to the hexagram, Hu Hai came to the throne after Ying Zheng's death and killed his brother Fusu.
When Hu Hai came to the throne, the Qin Dynasty was destined to fall soon. This Feng Shui formation is very mysterious. No one knows how powerful it is.
However, it does give us a warning or hint, never underestimate any Feng Shui formation."
Liu Shiba nodded slowly when he heard the words, and gained a little understanding. It is true that he has too little background. He is said to be a fourth-grade gold captain, but in fact he is still far away...
Liang Shanbo didn't understand these Feng Shui things at all, so he said impatiently:
"Old Cao, I don't want to listen to you talk about Feng Shui. Just tell me, according to the map, where is the Shang Shang Gua?"
Cao Xiong was shaking his head and showing off his knowledge when he was interrupted by Liang Shanbo, who couldn't help but said angrily:
"How do I know where the Shang Shang Gua is? It's such a small map and doesn't have a complete picture. Where can I find it? Tell me?"
Liang Shanbo was so angry that his beard stood up when he heard this...
"Dong dong dong!"
The door to the captain's room was knocked on the wall.
Liu Shiba opened the door and saw Lu Xiaolin, and immediately let him in.
Seeing Lu Xiaolin come in, Cao Xiong and Liang Shanbo immediately became more honest. In the past few days, they had been frightened by this weird Gu sect descendant.
From time to time, a golden Gu worm emerges from this guy's lips, and those with weaker nerves would faint from fear...
Especially Cao Xiong, he seems to know that there must be something this guy did inside him. This can be seen from Liu Shiba's trust in Lu Xiaolin!
Sure enough, the first words Lu Xiaolin said when he entered the door scared the two old men inside so much that they turned pale and had black lines on their heads...
"Little Master, that new stupid young man Zheng Weida, do you want to give him a brain fragment?"
Lu Xiaolin smiled evilly, a huge golden Gu insect at the corner of his lips appeared and disappeared, twisting and turning...
Liu Shiba forced himself not to look at Lu Xiaolin's face and grinned:
"It is necessary. No one on this Storm Battleship should be spared except you, me, and Liang Shanbo."
"Oh! What about mistress Ning Min'er? Do you want one too?"
Lu Xiaolin licked the corners of his lips!
Liu Shiba was stunned for a moment, slapped him, and said angrily:
"I'll beat you to death..."
This scene was so beautiful that Liu Shiba didn't dare to think about it. What the hell would it be like if he and Ning Min'er were making out in the middle of the beautiful scenery, and suddenly a shiny worm crawled out of his mouth?
"Little Master, I'm just saying..."
Lu Xiaolin giggled.
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaolin glanced at the animal skin map on the table and said strangely:
"A map of the Qinling Mountains?"
Liu Shiba, Cao Xiong and Liang Shanbo were stunned when they heard this, and then said with great joy:
"Do you know the terrain here?"
Lu Xiaolin licked his nostrils and said in confusion:
"Why don't you know me? Didn't I grow up here? Doesn't this look like Walnut Valley in Qinling Mountains?"
As he spoke, Lu Xiaolin pointed at the map...
Liu Shiba looked over with dumbfounded eyes, staring for a long time without realizing what was going on...
Lu Xiaolin saw this and explained in detail on the animal skin:
"Look here, it's Walnut Valley, here is the Black Prison, and further ahead, it's where a fellow countryman of mine lives..."
Speaking of this, Liu Shiba suddenly remembered the old man collecting herbs in the mountains who drove a little donkey.
"Lu Xiaolin, do you have a friend in Qinling Mountains? He is a black and strong old man? He lives not far from Hetaogou Valley in Taibai River. The door has a writing on it: Such a Medicine House?
There is also a couplet below: Return to the garden and live in the mountains to cook medicine, and practice elixirs quietly under the shadow of bamboo and the fragrance of flowers?"
When Lu Xiaolin heard this, his eyes widened and he said in surprise:
"He is my best friend, do you recognize him?"
Liu Shiba said solemnly:
"He has been living there for thirty years and has been looking for you for thirty years."
Lu Xiaolin's eyes filled with tears and he choked with sobs...
After a long time, Lu Xiaolin gradually calmed down and stared at Liu Shiba strangely:
"He introduced himself as a medicinal collector?"
Liu Shiba said confusedly:
"Ah? Isn't it?"
Lu Xiaolin couldn't laugh or cry:
"That old guy is a tomb robber."
"What? Tomb robbers, you can't do that. As long as they are people from the Five Elements and Three Families, or those who are capable of the Ten Cultivations, I will be able to sense them."
Liu Shiba was shocked.
Lu Xiaolin's eyes bulged and he gritted his teeth and said:
"He is not the kind of tomb robber with a heritage, but the kind of ancient thieves!"
"What is a bandit?"
Cao Xiong wondered.
"Thieves are the kind of tomb robbers who are out of touch with Feng Shui, technology and other technical content.
These people use ancient methods to reach heaven and earth with just a shovel, a torch, and a rope in their hands.
This kind of local thieves are so capable that even a large tomb cannot stop such people. Sometimes local methods may not be worse than dragon-seeking and acupuncture techniques, they just vary from time to time."
Liang Shanbo asked curiously:
"Isn't this the kind of thing where the legal ones are called archeology, and the illegal ones are called digging holes, and the people who dig holes are the thieves?"
Lu Xiaolin nodded cautiously and said:
"Yes, this kind of person has rich on-the-spot experience that no one can match. He also has his own rules and style of doing things."
Liu Shiba waved his hand and said with a flash of light in his eyes:
"Inform Luo Zhan that the Storm Battleship has changed its target and is heading to Hetaogou in the Qinling Mountains. I want to visit this mysterious old man."
