Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 324: Everyone is doing their job

"Whether it's opening the dragon's eyes to let in the essence of the sun and the moon, or cleverly using the special terrain and lighting in the tomb to create yin and yang, or the placement of these burial objects in the tomb, they are all related to yin and yang and the five elements. You haven't moved these burial objects, right?" Nanchun asked.

Li Minghe shook his head. "I wanted to move it at first, but Old Man Nan said that since we wanted to hide all the artifacts we found elsewhere here, we shouldn't move it."

Nanchun pointed at the burial objects on the ground and continued, "Look, these burial objects are centered around the coffin in the middle. Qian and Dui represent metal, Zhen and Xun represent wood, Gen and Kun represent earth, Kan represents water, and Li represents fire."

"This ceramic horse is placed here because the horse is of the fire element?" said Butler Shi.

"Yes, it is also possible that the person in this coffin was born in the Year of the Horse. The owner of this tomb was a big believer in the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory. Moreover, I just saw people playing chess in the palace on the rock wall murals outside, and the chessboard was a Bagua formation. So could this maze be the Nine Palaces and Bagua formation with its winding paths and numerous maze doors?" Nanchun explained.

Shopkeeper Shi's eyes lit up: "Very likely!"

Li Minghe thought for a moment and said, "Old Master Nan did mention things like Tai Chi Yin and Yang before he died."

"If so, there should be eight such tombs. And the underground fairy palace should be in the middle." Nanchun said.

With a clear goal, Li Minghe felt at ease.

Seeing how excited he was, Nanchun quickly added, "I'm just guessing. I can't guarantee it's really as I said. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I..."

"Whether it is true or not, you can give it a try!" said Shopkeeper Shi.

"Yes!" Li Minghe said with a smile, "After Mr. Nan left, we were closely watched by the Bai family. For the past two or three months, we have been unable to move forward and have no clue what to do. If this continues, everyone's hope will be wiped out.

Regardless of whether what you said is right or not, it at least gives us a direction and motivation to move forward. If it is wrong, we can just learn from Yugong moving the mountain, digging and searching bit by bit. Could it be that it has disappeared from the ground?

Nanchun nodded.

"If we find all eight tombs, can we find the way to the underground fairy palace?" Li Minghe asked.

Nanchun thought for a moment, then pointed to the southwest and said, "Li represents fire and is located in the south. Have you ever been to the southwest?"

Li Minghe nodded. "I've been there before. It's full of traps, making it impossible to move forward. Old Man Nan took the risk and nearly lost his life. So we changed the direction to look for the tomb."

We found one in the southeast, roughly the same size as this one. Then we headed east, but it was again full of traps. Before we could get through, the Bai family showed up.

"The Death Gate is located in the southwest Kun Palace, and the Injury Gate is located in the east Zhen Palace." Nanchun said.

"So what do you mean?" Li Minghe asked.

"Since our target is the underground fairy palace, let's go directly to it. Don't take the risk of finding other tombs and making unnecessary sacrifices." Nanchun said.

"That makes sense. Our goal now is different from before. Our goal now is to find the underground fairy palace and hide all the funerary objects we have in it. Instead of taking out everything in the tomb, the other tombs don't need to be touched at all." Shopkeeper Shi said.

"But how can we get in if we don't find all the tombs?" Li Minghe asked.

"If this is indeed a Bagua formation, we can try entering from the Shengmen, exiting through the Xiumen, and finally entering from the Kaimen. This way we can break the formation.

Of course, the formations can change, and the methods of entry and exit are not fixed. But as you said before, this tomb owner was both complex and simple. He created such a complex maze, but left the simplest path.

Could it be the same here? It's a complicated formation, but the solution might be the simplest one. "Besides, Shengmen, Xiumen, and Kaimen are the three auspicious gates, so it shouldn't be a big deal to give it a try," Nanchun explained.

Li Minghe smiled and said, "It was indeed right to let you come."

Nan Chun touched his nose a little embarrassedly: "I'm just leaning against a big tree for shade. You guys have already done the hardest things in advance. I came in just when we were almost victorious. If we really succeed, the credit should belong to you, not me."

Li Minghe rubbed Nanchun's head and said, "The credit belongs to all of us!"

"It's getting dark soon, let's go out first! Go back and make some arrangements before coming back." said Manager Shi.

After coming out of the tomb, the four of them returned along the same route.

Hearing some unusual movement on the way, Duoji and Li Minghe hurriedly protected Nanchun and Manager Shi behind them.

The four of them hid in the bushes and watched quietly.

After a while, two figures slowly approached.

"This place is so far from the tomb passage, and so remote. How could there be a way in?"

"Yeah! How long will you find it if you keep searching blindly like this? Wouldn't it be better to just dig the tomb passage honestly? You have to follow the Sheng family and let them make a fool of you!"

Doji took out his gun, and Nanchun beside him grabbed his wrist, shook his head at him, and then deliberately made a noise.

"Someone!"

"Who?"

When the two men heard the noise, they turned their backs to each other, gripped their guns tightly and took a defensive stance.

Nanchun let out a "wolf howl", and Shopkeeper Shi understood and followed suit.

"There are wolves!"

"There are a lot of wolves here, run!"

The two ran away quickly.

Nanchun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

"Why don't you let me kill them?" Doji asked.

"If you kill them, it will expose our presence here. They send people in different directions. If there are no people in a certain direction, it means that there are enemies guarding that direction. If there are people guarding it, it means that this position is very important." Nan Chun said.

"But hiding like this is not a solution," Doji said with a frown.

"We can wait in another direction, and then deliberately move the body nearby. The Bai family is suspicious, and they will definitely think that we are trying to cover up something. This way we can lead those people in the wrong direction and away from here." Nanchun said.

Shopkeeper Shi smiled and said, "Great! Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, taking the enemy by surprise."

"Good idea! Doji, you take them back first. I will take people to catch the two unlucky guys." Li Minghe said.

Nan Chun was a little unhappy: "I don't need protection. I'm good at fighting and I know how to use a gun. I'll go with you."

"Nanchun, we're not protecting you because we think you're weak. The Fourth Master said it's important for everyone to be able to do their job and perform their duties. Your brains are more important than your strength. We don't lack capable fighters, we lack people with brains.

"With the Third Master gone, our operations in Xinchuanling have made no progress for over a decade. With Old Man Nan gone, our team has stalled. The most important thing for you now is to save your life and contribute with your brain. Do you understand?" said Shopkeeper Shi.

Nanchun nodded: "I understand."
