The old village chief and others urinated, like rainwater pouring down, falling into the pit.
"This is too immoral; killing someone should be straightforward, but this old village chief is really going too far." Zhang Chen watched from the side but did not intervene.
"Liu Ji, you won’t die well! You scoundrel won’t die well!" Chen Xu’s angry curses echoed from within the pit.
Those above the pit listened to the curses with sneers and mocking smiles.
After everyone finished their business, they left smiling, leaving Chen Xu in the pit cursing out loud.
He was about to die anyway, so he wasn’t afraid of those outside anymore. He cursed as harshly as he wanted.
Watching everyone leave, Zhang Chen undid the Invisibility Rune and came to the edge of the pit, listening to the ranting inside, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
"Help! Someone, save me!" After cursing for a while, Chen Xu started to shout for help from within the pit.
"Who’s calling for help?" Zhang Chen spoke, poking his head out and shouting into the pit.
Seeing Zhang Chen’s familiar face made Chen Xu overjoyed since he had seen Zhang Chen outside before, he called out loudly: "Greetings, young brother, do you recognize me?"
"Of course I recognize you. Why on earth are you buried in the ground? Do you have some kind of weird hobby?" Zhang Chen joked, looking at Chen Xu, who had only his head exposed.
Chen Xu, in the pit, wanted to curse at Zhang Chen’s comment. This guy was too harsh, but he finally ran into a passerby, and his escape depended on him.
"Young brother, please lend a hand and dig me out. I promise a generous reward." Chen Xu said to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen sat at the edge of the pit, pinching his nose at the urine odor wafting up: "I’ve heard you have Dragon Seeking and Vein Exploration skills? You mentioned a large tomb on this mountain. Is that true?"
"Of course it’s true! If you get me out, I’ll help you find the hidden location of the large tomb, and all the treasures inside will be yours." Chen Xu said from the pit.
Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu in the pit and, not wanting to get down and dig because of the smell, redirected a stream of water to wash over the pit.
As the water flowed, the dirt was washed away, and suddenly the water formed a whirlwind, lifting Chen Xu out of the pit.
Chen Xu tumbled onto the ground, quickly steadying himself, even the dirt and grime on him were washed clean by the water flow.
Standing up, Chen Xu looked at the water seeping into the ground and then at the slender Zhang Chen with a look of terror: "A divine being! You are a divine being!"
"You could say that." Zhang Chen nodded.
"Greetings, Your Eminence." Chen Xu quickly bowed to Zhang Chen, his attitude unusually respectful.
"No need for formalities, so-called divine beings are just people." Zhang Chen said, sitting by the pit: "I heard your conversation earlier. Do you understand Dragon Seeking and Vein Exploration Techniques?"
"Just a little family method, nothing compared to Your Eminence." Chen Xu said humbly.
"I’m very interested in the large tomb you mentioned. You said this mountain has a Feng Shui Grand Array?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Indeed, there is a Feng Shui Grand Array, covering a hundred miles, with unbelievable Creation beneath it, possibly the tomb left by Ancient Divine People. I originally wanted to keep this Creation for myself, planning to return and dig secretly once I escaped those thugs, but who knew those fiends wanted to bury me here forever. To survive, I tried trading the information for my life, but things went awry, and I ended up buried here." Chen Xu’s voice was full of helplessness.
"Did you say this place is the tomb entrance?" Zhang Chen inquired.
"Logically, it should be the entrance, but who knew I’d hit rock layers, it’s puzzling. Our family’s Feng Shui Techniques, Dragon Seeking and Acupointing are never wrong. Based on Feng Shui calculations, this should be the entrance of the Feng Shui Grand Array." Chen Xu muttered.
"Perhaps the Ancient Divine People’s methods are mysterious, sealing the entire tomb, turning the soil into a massive stone mountain. To enter the tomb, we might have to chisel through tens or hundreds of meters of bluestone." Zhang Chen suggested.
Chen Xu was stunned, finding Zhang Chen’s words reasonable. After a while, he regained his composure: "Who could dig through dozens of meters of bluestone?"
"I have ways to dig through bluestone." Zhang Chen said:
"But we’ll need your help to locate the main chamber, so we strike it accurately the first time."
Zhang Chen could dig through bluestone; he had plenty of explosives. As long as the path was correct, they could blast through eventually.
Then Zhang Chen cautiously asked: "I just saw on the other side of the mountain, there was a landslide, turning into rubble, while lightning flashed and thunder rolled from the sky. Do you know why?"
"Where was that?" Chen Xu asked in surprise: "Quick, take me there."
Zhang Chen didn’t hesitate, leading the way.
They climbed to the mountain peak, witnessing the phenomenon previously hidden by the mountain. Zhang Chen pointed to the falling lightning and asked Chen Xu: "Why such a change?"
Chen Xu looked serious, eyes on the lightning clouds, as if discerning something. After a moment, he spoke: "The complexity of this tomb exceeds my imagination. I’m afraid it contains Mysterious Power."
