This also meant that if the sculpture on the plaza before him wanted to evolve into the 'Nine Elephants Heaven Sealing Diagram,' then the direction and position of the underground palace's Pixiu sculpture would require one of the three gates of fortune, the 'Life Gate', 'Open Gate', and 'Hidden Gate'.
If the eight gates were in the wrong position, then the quadrant formed by the Nine Elephants Heaven Sealing Diagram would naturally collapse and disappear. Moreover, the location of that Pixiu in the underground palace was at the door of death, this was something that book was extremely sure of.
So now he could basically conclude that there ought to be no special connection between the statues in the plaza and the Pixiu.
Taking a step back, even if there was a connection between the two, there was no way it would be able to form the 'Nine Elephants Heaven Sealing Diagram'. Therefore, after hearing Professor Xu's conclusion, Fang Zishu couldn't help but interrupt him.
Following that, Fang Zishu recounted his findings and insights in the underground palace to Professor Xu, so as to not let him go further and further on the way he had planned.
Professor Xu frowned after hearing the details of the prescription.
Professor Xu was silent for a long time, then he looked up and asked, ”Master Fang, are you sure the direction of the 'Pixiu' in the underground palace is the 'Gate of Death' of the eight gates?”
Before Fang Zishu could reply, Qi Sanpang could not help but say, ”Professor Xu, I can't guarantee for other people like Qi Sanpang, but with regards to the Mysterious Gate of Escape and Feng Shui, the south-east family has absolute authority.”
After pausing for a moment, Qi Sanpang continued: ”Besides, my brother had already made a trip to the underground palace. I saw with my own eyes the position of the 'Pixiu' statue, and it was indeed located at the 'Gate of Death' of the eight gates. So Professor Xu, your conjecture is wrong …”
”That's right!”
Professor Xu was pleasantly surprised.
Professor Xu's appearance was something Fang Zishu had never expected.
”Professor Xu?” Qi Sanpang just said, ”The location of that Pixiu is at the death gate of the underground palace. Did you hear it wrong earlier?” Fang Zhiru couldn't help but remind him.
”That's right, that's right, that's the door of death! It should be the door of death!”
Professor Xu slapped his thigh and said excitedly, ”Master Fang, since we're on the same side now, I'll leak some information that you don't know about.”
”Information I don't know?” Fang Zishu stared in shock, confused.
One had to know that the southeast region was several hundred miles in radius. No, it should be said that it was the most famous place in the entire circle. The Fang Clan's library was much more well-stocked than any museum in the world.
Those books on Feng Shui that were common or uncommon in the market, southeastern families all had rare books or handwritten excerpts.
Therefore, under these circumstances, it was hard for Fang Zishu to imagine that he would have any information that he would not know. Could it be that Professor Xu had information that even the Fang family did not know about?
Looking at Fang Zishu's expression, Professor Xu smiled faintly and then told him a story from the past.
It turned out that as early as the end of 1994, the chief archaeologist of the Archaeological Institution, Elder Lan, had made a proposal at a general seminar to reexplore the ruins of the Yin Ruins of Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
At that time, this suggestion was rejected by many people. They all thought that the remains of the Ma Wang Pile and the Pile of Three Stars had already been investigated many times, and any information found within had already been discovered long ago.
After the proposal was rejected, Elder Lan was extremely dissatisfied. Carrying those fellows from the archaeological academy, he secretly formed an investigation team. It was at that time that I was fortunate enough to join that investigation team.
