Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

Page 223

"Burying someone in a tree completely destroys the feng shui arrangement."

"Therefore, there has never been a system or custom in our history of burying coffins in trees."

He turned and glanced around at the surroundings, then said:

"This clearing in the woods is low-lying, with a higher elevation in the east and a lower elevation in the west. It is surrounded by no trees or water, presenting a desolate and isolated state."

“This place has extremely poor feng shui and is definitely not a suitable place to build a tomb or mausoleum.”

"Again."

Li Xiaohu turned to look at the "corpse" of the ancient banyan tree.

"Most people know about the five evils associated with burial sites."

"When building a tomb, there must never be 'old trees, scattered rocks, isolated mountains, barren ridges, or dried-up streams' nearby, as these are all very unlucky omens and people must never be buried there!"

"Moreover, old trees are the worst of the five evils associated with burial sites. If a tomb or mausoleum is built around an old tree, the auspicious energy will be completely lost! It is an absolutely ominous and inauspicious sign!"

"However..." Li Xiaohu suddenly changed the subject.

"Everything in the tomb of King Xian is extremely strange, even beyond our comprehension."

"Therefore, the reason why this crystal coffin was buried in this ancient banyan tree cannot be explained by common sense."

After listening, Partridge Whistle, Chen Yulou, and the others suddenly realized!

They're being limited by fixed mindsets!

I want to figure out the specifics.

We need to continue investigating.

The group walked around the crystal coffin again, observing it as they went.

Chen Yulou reached out and touched the crystal coffin; it felt incredibly smooth and cool.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, what a rare and beautiful jade!"

"Moreover, this crystal coffin seems to be a single piece, not pieced together."

"Such a large piece of jade that can hold the secrets of heaven and earth is of unimaginable value."

Yin Xinyue then said, "It's not that hard to imagine."

"If someone could actually afford this coffin, you could probably buy a city with it."

After hearing this, Chen Yulou smiled noncommittally.

Luo Laowai's eyes lit up at the sight of the whole group!

The crystal coffin alone could buy a city!

The treasures inside are incredible!

He grew increasingly eager to open the coffin and search for treasure.

Unfortunately, Li Xiaohu and Chen Yulou were still not finished, so he could only suppress his anxiety and bite his lip repeatedly in frustration.

Before Yin Xinyue could finish speaking, she said, "If you add the carving on it, the value will be even higher."

The surface of a crystal coffin is not smooth and flat.

It is covered with relief carvings.

The coffin lid is engraved with auspicious mythical creatures such as mandarin ducks, swans, foxes, rabbits, horses, deer, and elephants.

The corners are decorated with symmetrical exotic flowers and plants.

The four sides of the coffin are made of jade, and are covered with diamond-shaped reliefs in the shape of flower petals. In each petal, there is a small spirit bird with various kinds of immortal herbs in its beak.

The most shocking thing is...

At least a hundred petals are carved on the four jade walls, and there are hundreds of spirit birds inside, each with a different shape!

The exquisite craftsmanship is evident!

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Yin Xinyue observed the surroundings and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

"I never imagined that there were already such exquisite carving masters during the time of King Xian."

Partridge Whistle chimed in, "It is indeed shocking."

“Even during the Qin and Han dynasties, it would be difficult to find such exquisite coffins.”

"Such an exquisite coffin, I suppose only the beloved concubines of the Prince of Xian were worthy of enjoying it?"

“No,” Li Xiaohu shook his head and said, “The Prince Xian’s beloved concubine does not have such an honor.”

"The one buried here should be the most important high priest of King Xian."

Li Xiaohu's words were like a wake-up call.

Chen Yulou raised an eyebrow and quickly said, "Yes!"

"If the coffin of the great wizard is buried there, then all of this makes sense!"

“Since ancient times, wizards and sorcerers have liked to say that they are beyond the three realms and are not in the formless realm.”

"Therefore, after they die, they are not buried according to the customs of ordinary people."

Partridge Whistle added, "So he was buried in this strange ancient banyan tree."

Li Xiaohu nodded and said, "That's roughly it."

"However, you've forgotten one crucial point."

"What point?" Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle exchanged a glance, their eyes full of doubt.

Li Xiaohu's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said, "I already said that when I arrived."

What is most closely related to King Xian?

"Is it acyl?"

Everyone present was shocked after hearing this!

Li Xiaohu continued, "..."

"So... this crystal coffin and this ancient banyan tree, rather than being buried in the tree."

"It's more accurate to say he was intoxicated and confused, his mind clouded and hesitant."

"what?"

As soon as Li Xiaohu finished speaking, Partridge Whistle, Chen Yulou, and the others all widened their eyes.

Then they all stared at him with disbelief on their faces.

"Brother Xiaohu," Chen Yulou said, stunned, "what do you mean by that?"

Li Xiaohu's views are too absurd.

Even Chen Yulou, who was used to seeing strange and unusual things, couldn't figure out what this meant.

Partridge Whistle was also frowning and thinking hard.

But he couldn't understand what it meant either.

The others were even more bewildered; they looked at each other, completely dumbfounded.

Li Xiaohu raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.

Then he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Actually, we were right about everything we guessed earlier."

"This crystal coffin was definitely not buried here using a tree as a grave."

"It became one with the ancient banyan tree, and then used this place as a star position to suppress it!"

Chen Yulou raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Star position? Guardian?"

These are two more words that are difficult to understand.

Li Xiaohu nodded and continued, "The so-called 'guarding star position' is actually not that difficult to understand."

As he spoke, he pointed to the human skin map and connected the four locations of the accompanying tombs marked on the map with lines.

"Look."

"These four secondary tombs are arranged in a manner resembling stars surrounding the moon, arranged around the tomb of King Xian."

“These four guarded the four possible entrances to the tomb of King Xian, and were regarded as guardians; apart from these four directions, the other places were blocked off by the terrain.”

Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou and the others looked around and found that it was indeed as Li Xiaohu had said.

Chen Yulou hurriedly asked again, "But where did you get this crystal coffin and the ancient banyan tree? They've been hidden away for so long..."

Li Xiaohu continued, "The reason why we say this crystal coffin and the ancient banyan tree are a combination of... (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context, so a direct translation isn't possible.)

"It's because this location isn't a traditionally considered auspicious burial site in Feng Shui."
