Chapter 684: Exploiting and Being Exploited

When he walked along the mountain range where the shallow water fish dragon tomb was located, Chen Ziyang encountered a lot of forks in the road.

The so-called fork refers to the branches of the mountain range, after all, a mountain range is not a single direction, each mountain range has many forks, and these forks have different directions.

Just when Chen Ziyang was at a loss, he suddenly remembered that the model of the four mountain ranges was still in his pocket, and then he took out the model of the mountain range where the shallow water fish turned into dragon feng shui treasure cave was located.

At this time, Chen Ziyang suddenly realized the role of these mountain range models. Just as the Dragon's Quest can indicate the direction of a mountain range, and the Dragon's Quest can lead to the end, the models of these mountains have similarities.

Because he came from the tomb of the fish dragon in shallow water, Chen Ziyang immediately compared the direction implied by the model mountain range, and the current fork in the road was no longer a fork in the road in his eyes.

Because although the model of the mountain range is not straight, there is only one mountain range, and there is no branch mountain carved on it, as long as you follow the direction indicated by the model, you will not be wrong.

After several twists and turns, Chen Ziyang came to the end of this mountain range. Standing on the high ground at the end of this mountain range, looking into the distance, Chen Ziyang knew that his guess was correct.

This is a mountain clearing, although the area of the clearing is very large, but against the backdrop of several mountains with no end in sight, this clearing seems so small.

Four mountains winding in different directions converge here, each showing a convergence here, separated by some distance from each other, and the slope of the end of the mountain increases sharply, as if four sharp swords were plunged into the clearing.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Ziyang knew that he had found the right place, his guess was correct, these four mountain ranges should be the four mountain ranges represented by the four mountain range models, and there should be a feng shui treasure cave in the middle or end of each mountain range, one of which is a shallow water fish dragon, and the other is a double phoenix seeking a phoenix.

If it weren't for the previous speculation, no feng shui master would have associated this place with the prostration of dragons in one of the three heavenly caves.

The places where the four mountain ranges converge are all high and towering, and there is nothing special about them, but precisely because of the previous speculation, the places where these four mountain ranges rise look like the backbone of the four dragons in Chen Ziyang's eyes, and the dragons of the four dragons have been buried deep in the ground and hidden.

The soil here is very strange, judging by the surrounding mountains and the exposed rocks on the mountains, the thickness of the soil here should not be too thick. In fact, in this clearing where four mountain ranges gather, the thickness of the soil is beyond Chen Ziyang's imagination.

After using the word trick, Chen Ziyang judged that the terrain here should have been transformed, that is, in this open space where the four mountain ranges converge, there should not have been so much soil before, but someone later piled up a large amount of soil here, artificially changing the thickness of the soil here.

After coming up with this idea, combined with some information about the treasure of the Great Qing Dragon Vein obtained before, Chen Ziyang immediately understood that this should be the location of the Great Qing Dragon Vein Treasure, and there should be two functions of covering these soils here.

The first is to conceal it, these soils can hide the traces of artificially built dragon veins, after all, the location of the dragon veins is the most important thing for a dynasty, and the rulers of any dynasty do not want the dragon veins to be discovered by others.

And the second reason is actually a helpless move, and that is to prevent floods. Feng Shui treasure points are the most natural, and only when forced to do so will they carry out some small artificial modifications.

Through the trend of the nearby mountain ranges, Chen Ziyang can see that the terrain here should be very low before, which is why the four mountain ranges will converge here.

After padding the place where the four mountain ranges meet with earth, the terrain here is much higher than the surrounding area, and if there is a flood season, a large amount of rainwater will flow to the surrounding area and will not gather here, so the feng shui of the area will be preserved.

After thinking of these two reasons, Chen Ziyang already roughly knew the specific location of the dragon vein, but he still needed to verify it. It took him nearly a day to scout the neighborhood.

Maybe it was because there was a mistake in the previous renovation of the nearby feng shui, or it could be because there was too much rain gathered here in a certain year, in short, there was a ravine washed out by the rain that was discovered by Chen Ziyang, and in this ravine a few meters deep, Chen Ziyang saw a section of stone wall.

This exposed stone wall is the section that Chen Ziyang showed Chen Benzhong, and when this section of the stone wall appeared in front of his eyes, Chen Ziyang knew that this was a feng shui wall.

Don't look at the exposed feng shui wall is only such a small section, which looks inconspicuous, but in fact, the significance of this feng shui wall is very large.

In addition to confirming that this is the location of the treasure of the dragon vein of the Great Qing Dynasty, through the surrounding terrain and the location of this section of the feng shui wall, Chen Ziyang was 100% sure of the location of the dragon vein.

After getting this information, Chen Ziyang did not stay and immediately returned to Huhai City. Although the Iron Book was snatched away by the Dragon Digging Society, but now the opportunity is in his hands again, and with this vital information, Chen Ziyang already has the capital to deal with the Dragon Digging Society.

Now that things are basically clear, the four skilled craftsmen in the Kangxi period should all have participated in the construction of the dragon vein of the Great Qing Dynasty, and in order not to expose the location of the dragon vein of the Great Qing Dynasty, these four people never went back.

After the four craftsmen finished building the dragon vein, they built their own tombs in four feng shui treasure caves on the four mountain ranges, where they always sleep.

It may be that Kangxi has already arranged that these four people have all turned into corpse demons according to the order, in addition to making the four people have no way to reveal the location of the dragon vein, it also has a very important role, that is, to use the corpse qi of the corpse demon and the lock dragon nail stretched out on the jade coffin to firmly lock the dragon qi in the mountain range, and prevent the dragon qi from soaring, so as to ensure the longevity of the dragon qi in the dragon vein.

Therefore, Chen Ziyang estimated that there were two other craftsmen buried in the other two mountains that he had not visited, and these two people had all turned into corpse demons, and these two people were also lying in jade coffins.

Among the four people, there is one person whose situation is very special, that is, Zhang Qianliang, who was buried in the double phoenix treasure cave.

The mountain range where Zhang Qianliang is buried extends all the way to the east, and almost half of its length is within the territory of the Eastern Dynasty, and the Twin Phoenix Treasure Cave is also there.

On the surface, Zhang Qianliang helped the Eastern Dynasty build Li Yan's tomb, but in fact, he was building the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty. This is also the reason why there will be a wall carving with half a snake body and half a dragon body in the tomb of Li Tun in the Eastern Dynasty.

The Yalu River cuts off this mountain range, which is very unfavorable in terms of feng shui pattern, and this mountain range containing dragon energy becomes a broken mountain.

However, Zhang Qianliang skillfully used the legend of the Yalu River to imply that this mountain range would turn into a dragon after the python crossed the river, so as to solve the disadvantage of the broken mountain. This one of his actions is the finishing touch, which makes the entire mountain range and the dragon veins of the entire Qing Dynasty come alive.

However, although Zhang Qianliang has made such a great contribution, he cannot escape the fate of becoming a corpse demon. With the foolish loyalty that the king let the minister die, the minister had to die, so Zhang Qianliang had no other choice, but his concubine and the child in the concubine's womb were refined into a child, which made Zhang Qianliang unacceptable.

So he left the bamboo tube in the belly of the mother and the mother, and left a crucial information in the bamboo tube, that is, the pattern of the "swastika" composed of four dragons, which revealed this great secret and pointed out the treasure of the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty.

However, Chen Ziyang did not think about this aspect at that time, and wasted the clue left by Zhang Qianliang in vain.

Thinking about it now, Chen Ziyang realized that the dragon vein treasure of the Great Qing Dynasty had always been in front of his eyes. Whether it is on the bronze compass left by Zhang Taixu, or in the tomb of Cardinal Wang or Zhang Qianliang, all of them have left the pattern of the gathering of the four dragons.

This pattern refers to the treasure cave where the dragons kowtow, but because the dragons kowtow is so rare, he didn't think about it at all, otherwise he wouldn't have known the location of the treasure of the dragon vein of the Great Qing Dynasty until today.

Four mountains containing dragon qi converged together, forming a treasure cave for a group of dragons to kowtow, and Kangxi sent four craftsmen at the same time, and when Changbai Mountain was named a holy mountain for the first time, Kangxi also sent four ministers to Changbai Mountain to pay respects at one time.

In this way, the four ministers did not go to the same place at that time, but should have gone to the location of the four dragon veins to check the progress of the construction work, to see if the four craftsmen had completed their work, and to see if there were any troubles left.

After figuring out all this, Chen Ziyang found another unreasonable place. According to the reason, as one of the three heavenly caves, the dragon kowtowing treasure cave is very rare, and the dragon qi contained in this treasure cave should also be very much, plus the four locked dragon nails firmly lock the dragon qi in the mountain range, so that this treasure cave tends to be perfect, so the feng shui of the dragon vein should be the top.

This level of dragon veins should be outstanding even among all the dragon veins, even if it can't let the Qing Dynasty have an immortal foundation for 10,000 years, it is enough to bless the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years.

In fact, the fate of the Qing Dynasty was not worthy of such a treasure cave as the dragons kowtowing, and it only took more than 200 years to play, which Chen Ziyang could not understand.

According to his guess, there must have been some huge change in the middle, which caused the dragon qi in the dragon vein to leak out, so there was such a result.

Because at that time, when he was checking near the dragon's bow cave, Chen Ziyang opened his yin and yang eyes, but he didn't see the dragon qi that rushed to the sky, and he didn't even find a trace of dragon qi.

Even if the feng shui treasure cave of this level is broken, there will be more or less some dragon qi left, otherwise, Zhang Linfu would not want to place the Tiangang Bafang Great Array here to gather dragon qi.

But whether it was in the place where the four mountain ranges converged, or in any of the mountain ranges, Chen Ziyang did not see a trace of dragon qi existing, which made him feel that Zhang Linfu's death was a little worthless, maybe Zhang Linfu's original idea was about to fail.

However, these have no impact on Chen Ziyang's next actions, because his purpose is different from that of the Dragon Digging Society and Chen Benzhong, he does not want to find the treasures left by the Qing Dynasty in the dragon vein, or he wants to gather the dragon qi in the dragon vein, his purpose is very simple, that is, to deal a heavy blow to the Dragon Digging Society and completely solve the sorrowful Yoshioka Xiong.

The day after reaching a cooperation agreement with Chen Benzhong, the three Chen Ziyang brothers set off with Chen Benzhong's team.

Because of the relationship between the elite stationed in the Northeast region a long time ago, there were not too many people in the team that set off this time, and there were relatively few things to carry, so it was much easier to move. What Chen Ziyang didn't expect was that the hundred-year-old Chen Benzhong actually set off with them.

Chen Benzhong did not go to the grave in person decades ago, and everything was left to the younger generations to do. And maybe because this action is related to his long-cherished wish in this life, so even if his physical condition is not good, he still took action himself.

This was not the first time that the three Chen Ziyang brothers and Chen Benzhong's organization had taken action, but unlike before, this time the three of them obviously felt that the entire team was crowding them out. It's no wonder, after all, the matter of snatching the Iron Book has been spread all over the world, and it is reasonable that Chen Benzhong's men are full of hostility towards them.

Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai are most worried about Chen Ziyang's safety. The facts are obvious, only Chen Benzhong in the whole team is very vain to the three people, pretending to be very welcome, and has done enough superficial work, in fact, the three people who think about Chen Benzhong also know that the relationship between the two is nothing more than using and being used.

Chen Ziyang wanted to use the power in Chen Benzhong's hands to deal with the Dragon Digging Society, and Chen Benzhong wanted to use Chen Ziyang's knowledge of the location of the Great Qing Dragon Vein Treasure to achieve his goal.

On the surface, the cooperation between the two is to take what they need, but in fact, Chen Ziyang and the three of them are still passive.

When Chen Ziyang brought Chen Benzhong to the location of the dragon vein, it was the time when the two sides completely tore their faces and turned their faces ruthlessly. At that moment, Chen Ziyang had no use value for Chen Benzhong, and he could be thrown off or quietly killed.

However, although Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai were very worried about this situation, Chen Ziyang was confident and confidently told the two of them that he had his own way. This made Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai feel a lot more relieved, after all, after so many ups and downs, Chen Ziyang has never disappointed these two people.

Two days later, the team arrived at Chen Benzhong's base camp in the northeast region.
