It was already evening when Lin Feng and the others arrived at the lower reaches of Luohe River.
The remaining staff had already rested, so Xiahou Wen and Lin Feng stayed one night in Xiaoli Village, preparing to go to the ancient Song Dynasty grottoes over there the next morning to search for clues about Luo Shu.
According to Lin Feng's previous request, Xia Houwen did not alert the snake.
They just said that they came to participate in the project to investigate the bone grottoes. But the next morning, when they were preparing to start work, five people in the entire working group disappeared. When they were found, their bodies were soaked in a small village near the village. In the ditch.
Experience previous wars.
Lin Feng was very sleepy. He slept deeply that night. When he woke up in the morning, his physical condition had completely recovered.
It's just that what happened last night, even though he has excellent five senses, he didn't notice anything.
actually.
There was someone on duty at night. Lin Feng and Xia Houwen both went to ask, but the person on duty didn't know what happened. He just said that those few people said they wanted to go out for a walk last night, and there was nothing else.
Who knew that when people were found, they were already dead.
Lin Feng looked at Xia Houwen and said.
"It seems that these people are the moles behind the Luoshu project!"
"We did not alert the enemy, but the forces behind the Hetu robbery were very cautious. They did not dare to reveal their identities, so they killed all the moles in advance!"
Xia Houwen frowned.
"You're really cunning!"
Lin Feng smiled. In fact, he had expected this.
With the methods of those forces at the Hetu project base, it is not unusual to kill these moles. They have never regarded these moles as their own, they only use them when they are valuable, and when they are not, Kill and silence.
It's that simple. .
Lin Feng continued.
"Manager Xia Hou, it's a good thing for us that those traitors are dead. At least, in the next Luoshu project, we can conduct excavations with peace of mind. If I guessed correctly, that group of forces will be destroyed in a short time. We will definitely not dare to act rashly again, they will definitely wait until our vigilance is completely lowered before they act again!"
Xia Houwen really admired Lin Feng more and more, as if everything was under his control.
The bodies of those people were later disposed of by staff from the Bureau of Divine Investigation.
Lin Feng and Xia Houwen, along with other staff, went to the ancient grottoes next to the Luoshui River. The clues to Luoshu must be in this group of grottoes. In order to facilitate development, people from the Shendu Bureau built a temporary dam nearby during the dry season to change the trend of Luoshui. Even now during the wet season Already here, this grotto is still completely exposed.
Lin Feng and Xia Houwen went down to the bottom of the grottoes to observe the structure of these grottoes.
Its style is different from that of Longmen Grottoes. Indeed, it is more in line with the style of Buddhist statues from the Song Dynasty. There are also a lot of words on the stone wall here. They were printed by rubbing, making it easier to understand the words. mean.
The staff of the Bureau of Divine Investigation are specialized in doing this work.
While they were making rubbings, they were translating the ancient inscriptions on the stone walls.
This ancient text says that the grottoes in this place were carved at the expense of a landowner in the Song Dynasty. This landowner was quite wealthy, and was even as wealthy as anyone in the country. There are local rumors that the ancestral tomb of this landowner's family is actually built on the Feng Shui dragon veins. Moreover, the ancestors have been buried in dragon caves for generations. With good luck, it is difficult for this family to develop. Moreover, this family was too rich, and gradually became ambitious, and began to secretly station troops.
On the surface, these soldiers are just craftsmen who build this grotto. In fact, as long as that family gives an order, thousands of craftsmen can instantly put on armor and become the soldiers of this family.
In addition to these troops, there are many people in charge of the farmland, forestry, etc. in the hands of this family. From the perspective of outsiders, they hire so many people, and the employment is too complicated, but in fact,
This is their way of stationing troops.
after that.
This family has been using this method to station nearly 30,000 troops.
In ancient times, thirty thousand was not a small number. During those ancient wars, what was said to be a hundred thousand army was actually mostly an approximation. It was not that many at all. Thirty thousand troops could be called a hundred thousand army at that time. !
Such a force must not be underestimated.
But this family covered up the matter perfectly, and even paid enough taxes to the officials every year to show their loyalty.
Unfortunately, the family's behavior was discovered later. The officials at that time did not confront the family head-on, but quietly weakened the family's various forces little by little. They even sent Feng Shui masters to remove the family's ancestral graves. My feng shui has been changed!
Since then, the family's fortune has plummeted.
at last.
He even ended up having his whole family copied.
In fact, the Xiaoli Village next to it was the village where those soldiers lived when the family stationed troops to build the grotto. Before that family stationed troops, it was just a wasteland.
actually.
That family is the Li family. It is said that they are descendants of the Li family in the Tang Dynasty, and their family's ancestral grave is actually on this mountain beside the Luoshui River.
At the foot of the mountain is this kind of Buddha statue grotto, and on the mountain is the ancestral grave of their Li family.
Xia Houwen told Lin Feng that the mountain near the Buddha Statue Grotto was originally connected to the mountain in the distance. However, after the Li family was found to be rebellious, the officials of the Song Dynasty secretly sent Feng Shui masters. , dug out this dragon vein!
Therefore, after Luoshui arrived here, a tributary appeared, flowing to the southeast.
Luoshui bifurcated, completely cutting off the mountain's dragon veins.
certainly.
What if these things can be connected with the legendary Luo Shu?
That's because the reason why the Li family was able to find the dragon's veins and the dragon's cave in the first place was because of the dragon bone Luoshu in their hands. Following the instructions of Dragon Bone Luoshu, they moved all the graves of their ancestors to this place.
After the Li family was destroyed, Luo Shu disappeared.
But according to the records on the stone walls in front, Luo Shu was buried in the grave with the last head of the Li family.
The last head of the Li family was named Li Chen.
No one knows where his grave is. In short, it must not be above the severed dragon vein. Experts from the Divine Adjustment Bureau guessed that Li Shen's grave must be nearby, possibly in Luo In the water.
Because there is a record on the stone wall.
"Dragon Bone Luoshu, born when encountering water."
"Survival comes from desperate situations, and the Li family will never die."
The place where these words are carved is on a scroll in the hand of the main Buddha statue. The carvings on the scroll are still intact, and the writing on it is naturally very clear.
"Mr. Lin, Manager Xiahou, look, there is a cave down here!"
