The feng shui issues of the Chen family village have been resolved.
I have also visited the main chamber of this ancient tomb.
I have found the source of the dragon vein.
However, what is left for me is a pile of questions.
This ancient tomb is built entirely to the specifications of an imperial tomb.
Even in the outer passages, there are records of the life and deeds of King Liang Xiaowang, and various measures that once made Su Jiu believe this was an imperial tomb.
However, this ancient tomb is extremely abnormal.
There is not a single burial item in the tomb.
The main chamber is completely empty.
Could all of this be just to conceal the existence of the dragon-destroying pillar?
Su Jiu shook his head, thinking it was neither necessary nor possible.
Because this assumption simply does not hold.
As is well known, such an ancient tomb would naturally attract many tomb raiders, and such a disguise would be counterproductive.
So, why was this done?
And who set up this dragon-destroying pillar, and what was their purpose?
A series of questions flooded Su Jiu's mind.
Su Jiu took a deep look at the huge square stone pillar, the dragon-destroying pillar.
He had been down here for nearly four hours.
Su Jiu thought for a moment, realizing that he still could not figure out everything here. He would have to wait until his cultivation reached a certain level to break the inverted coffin and the dragon-destroying pillar, and see what was inside the stone coffin.
Perhaps then, the mystery would be revealed.
Su Jiu glanced at the stone pillar and began to make his way back.
He had been in the ancient tomb for so long, it was time to leave.
At this moment, in the Chen family village.
The sky was lightly drizzling, the rain slowly falling like a continuous spring rain.
"Huh? It's raining? It was sunny just now, how did it suddenly start drizzling?"
"Right! The weather forecast said it would be sunny today, how did it start raining?"
"The sky turned dark so quickly, what's going on? It happened in the blink of an eye."
"..."
This sudden drizzle did not disrupt the life of the Chen family village.
Only a few people complained.
However, if someone stood outside the Chen family village, they would notice that the sky was still clear and sunny, as if the Chen family village was under a different sky.
At the entrance of the Ox God Cave.
Uncle San looked at the drizzle with a puzzled expression, wondering why it suddenly started raining.
After a moment of confusion, a flash of inspiration came to him, and he seemed to have figured something out.
His face instantly became excited.
"Master Su... Master Su..." At this moment, Uncle San became excited and joyful.
He felt a surge of happiness.
Looking at the drizzle and sensing the surrounding atmosphere, he paced back and forth at the entrance of the Ox God Cave.
It seemed as if Master Su was about to come out of the Ox God Cave.
...
In another part of the Chen family village, a few elders walked slowly, their faces carrying a hint of worry and melancholy.
As the drizzle fell, none of the elders noticed, as if their minds were elsewhere.
Suddenly, one of the elders seemed to notice the rain and said in confusion.
"How did it start raining? It was sunny just now."
"It seems so!"
"Just now..."
"Huh? This is..."
"This..."
The elders stopped walking, looking at each other with shock and joy.
"Rain Bathing the Dragon's Grace!!!"
Elder Chen exclaimed, his face filled with joy, his spirit suddenly invigorated, as if he had transformed into a different person.
...
In the ancient tomb, Su Jiu walked quickly.
It was much easier to come out than to go in.
It took him over four hours to enter the ancient tomb, not because the distance was long, but because the exploration and other matters took time.
Coming out was much faster.
It took him only about half an hour to come out, compared to the four hours it took to go in.
The sky was dark, the sunset gradually descending, and Uncle San was closely watching the rope.
Half an hour passed, and the drizzle had already stopped.
Uncle San did not leave, waiting for Su Jiu.
The excitement had passed, but he could not hide his joy.
Indeed, in Uncle San's mind, the problem that had plagued the Chen family village for hundreds of years was finally resolved.
If it wasn't resolved, how could the Rain Bathing the Dragon's Grace have appeared?
The drizzle that fell half an hour ago might have been just a drizzle to ordinary people, but to a feng shui master, it had a different meaning.
Uncle San, who had learned the art of feng shui from a young age, naturally knew that it was the Rain Bathing the Dragon's Grace.
This was a special celestial phenomenon.
It could also be seen as a manifestation of the nourishment of heaven and earth.
Uncle San was very clear about the situation in the Chen family village, and many things that were not spoken of did not mean they were unknown.
It was just that some things could not be easily spoken of.
The Rain Bathing the Dragon's Grace, in a literal sense, means rain bathing a lake with a dragon.
The Chen family village did not have a lake, so it was a metaphor, symbolizing a person rising to prominence with favorable conditions.
The drizzle that fell in the Chen family village half an hour ago was indeed the Rain Bathing the Dragon's Grace.
Standing on the hillside at the entrance of the Ox God Cave, Uncle San felt the thick and powerful dragon vein energy spread with the drizzle, covering the entire area.
It made his heart feel refreshed.
The appearance of this phenomenon in the Chen family village at this time meant that the issue with the Ox God Cave had been resolved.
Otherwise, how could such a phenomenon appear?
Uncle San was overjoyed.
Master Su was indeed Master Su, young but with such great abilities.
He never thought that Chen Yier bringing back just a classmate would change the fate of the Chen family village. This truly meant that heaven had not abandoned the Chen family village!
Heaven has eyes!
Uncle San rejoiced in his heart.
He even wanted to shout out loud.
But he knew Master Su had not come out yet, so he suppressed his excitement and waited quietly by the Ox God Cave.
"Tonight, I must have a good drink with Master Su!" Uncle San muttered to himself.
At that moment, the rope at the entrance of the Ox God Cave suddenly moved.
Uncle San immediately focused his attention on the cave entrance.
A moment later, Su Jiu climbed out of the cave with great effort.
"Climbing down was easy, but climbing up is really hard!" Su Jiu panted, sitting on the ground without caring about the dampness, muttering to himself.
"Master Su, you're out." Seeing Su Jiu come out, Uncle San looked excited and respectful.
"Yes, Uncle San, I'm back. Climbing up from that height of several hundred meters is really tiring." Su Jiu did not move, looking at Uncle San and continuing to rest on the ground.
"Don't, don't, Master Su, don't call me that. Master Su, has the feng shui problem of the Chen family village been resolved?" Uncle San asked with anticipation, though he was already certain that Su Jiu had solved the problem, he still wanted to hear it from Su Jiu.
"Not yet, the situation there is still unresolved." Su Jiu, hearing Uncle San's words, thought of the overwhelming dragon resentment and said with some reluctance. Uncle San's eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth opening as if to say something, but Su Jiu's next words cut him off.
"However, I set up an Eight Trigram Array there to temporarily suppress it. For the next five years, it will be fine. I will come back to resolve it when my cultivation reaches a higher level." Su Jiu said with some regret, unsure if he would have the strength to resolve the issue in five years.
But at this moment, Uncle San did not notice Su Jiu's expression, his previously disappointed heart suddenly becoming excited and joyful.
"The dragon-destroying pillar is suppressed, which means the feng shui of the Chen family village will not change anymore?" Uncle San muttered.
"Uncle San, do you know about the situation in the ancient tomb below?" Su Jiu, who had been sitting on the ground, stood up immediately upon hearing Uncle San's words.
He stared directly at Uncle San.
Since he came up, he had not revealed any information about the ancient tomb at the bottom, but now, Uncle San could mention the dragon-destroying pillar.
What did this mean?
It meant that Uncle San had known the situation below from the beginning.
Su Jiu thought back to when he was trapped in the Three Talents Seven Stars Array, and if he had not coincidentally reached the middle stage of the Qi Cultivation realm, he might have been trapped there. He felt a surge of anger.
"Ah, Master Su, Master Su, don't misunderstand!" Uncle San, who had been excited, was stunned by Su Jiu's rebuke. His expression changed rapidly, his face turning as dark as pig's blood.
"I'll give you a chance to explain, otherwise, the future of the Chen family village..." Su Jiu narrowed his eyes, coldly saying. Being deceived was a terrible feeling, and Su Jiu was very angry. He spoke directly, knowing that if he could suppress the dragon vein and protect the source of the dragon vein, he could also destroy everything, so he spoke with confidence.
"Master Su, don't be angry, Master Su, really don't be angry, let's talk it out." Uncle San, hearing Su Jiu's words, became anxious. He waved his hands, wanting to approach Su Jiu to explain, but stopped at Su Jiu's cold gaze, looking at Su Jiu anxiously.
"Explain!" Su Jiu's words were short and direct, still looking at Uncle San coldly.
"Alright, alright, Master Su, I'll explain, I'll explain right now!"
