Chapter 223: Chapter 173: Writer Lin is Amazing! (5000 Words Chapter)

The afternoon sun at around three or four o’clock, obliquely hung in the western sky, its golden rays spilled forth, coating the edge of the mountains with a faint golden glow.

The contour of the mountain peaks appeared indistinct amidst the interplay of light and shadow, and the small streams in the mountains, under the sunlight, glittered with sparkling ripples, like a silver ribbon winding through the mountains.

Two members of the National Archaeological Team Nine stayed at the original location to wait.

The rest, led by Old Yao, followed the direction pointed out by Qin Sisi, toward Little Stone Pond, bypassing Gourd Mouth.

Indeed, as Qin Sisi had envisioned, to be precise, it was as described in the first volume of “Touch Gold Notes.”

——A unique realm unfolded.

Professor Qi had some understanding of geomancy, and after going around Gourd Mouth and through a dense jungle, when he looked up again at his surroundings, his brow quickly furrowed.

“Professor Qi, what’s wrong?”

Old Yao looked toward Professor Qi beside him and asked.

Professor Qi stared fixedly at the undulating mountain range around them and said in a daze, “I don’t understand this place.”

“Is there no Dragon Vein here?” Old Yao felt a slight shock in his heart and asked.

“It might be there, or it might not be.” Professor Qi gave an ambiguous answer.

“So, is it there or not?”

Old Yao was somewhat confused by the response.

Professor Qi raised a hand and pointed toward the mountain range in front of them, saying, “Seeking dragons is actually about finding Dragon Veins, observing the trend. And the Dragon Vein, primarily, is about finding the Dragon’s Backbone, which is the main ridge of the mountain range. But here, the mountain shapes do not converge, and the peaks spread out, I am somewhat unable to discern where the main ridge of the mountain range is.”

At this time.

Old Yao couldn’t help but look toward Qin Sisi, his eyes conveying a question.

Qin Sisi had suggested that the location of the previous tomb was a False Dragon Head, fraught with deceptive mechanisms, and that bypassing Gourd Mouth would reveal a new realm, which was why everyone had come here.

Thus, he wanted to hear Qin Sisi’s opinion.

At that moment, Qin Sisi was also observing the trend of the mountain range around her.

She didn’t understand the art of “Dragon-Seeking and Positioning”; she was recalling the descriptions in Lin Chuan’s novel.

The novel described:

After Mr. Lin passed Gourd Mouth, he continued to head northwest. About one kilometer ahead, he could see a stream winding around the mountain at the base, like a jade belt. Roughly two kilometers further on, there would be a natural lake in sight.

Bypassing the lake to reach the high ground for an overview, only then could one clearly see the layout where ‘streams surround and five dragons converge’; that was the true Dragon Head.

After pondering for a while.

Qin Sisi turned to face Old Yao and Professor Qi, raised her hand toward the northwest, and said gravely, “We might try looking in that direction to see what we find.”

She didn’t speak with absolute certainty.

Whether Lin Chuan’s writings were a novel or notes, whether he had truly been to this place or not, was unknown.

Everything was mere conjecture, with no definitive conclusion.

Moreover.

Her heart was conflicted.
