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.

"That Professor Xu, what did you find at the Yin Shang Ruins?"

Fang Zishu was very curious.

As for the Yin Shang ruins, although he had never personally visited, he had obtained a certain understanding of them through the descriptions of the various kinds of books and knew that they were the remains of the earliest dynasties known in ancient China.

Nowadays, most of the bronze artifacts in circulation on the market were imitated the bronze artifacts unearthed from the remains of Yin Shang.

"Teacher, hurry up and tell us more, we're all hanging out with you."

Xiao Hui urged.

Da Pang and Fatty Dun also cast their curious gazes on Professor Xu, waiting for his next words.

Professor Xu coughed lightly and then said, "We didn't find anything special in the days before we arrived at the Yin Ruins. We just found a few 'Bronze Dendroids' of inferior quality in grave No. 3.

At that time, the archaeologists in the team were all very depressed and clamored to go back. However, Elder Lan was unwilling to accept this. On the day of their return journey, he decided to explore the fifth burial pit again.

Based on the optical sensors and some equipment, Old Blue deduced that there was a 'funeral chamber' connected to the fifth burial chamber. According to Old Blue's conjecture, the entrance to this funeral chamber should be below the fifth burial chamber, which was connected by the underground palace.

After three days of uninterrupted excavation, we finally unearthed a bluestone in the southwest of the fifth burial pit. After opening the slate, we found the entrance that Old Blue had predicted, which was also known as the 'Yin Shang No. 6 Pit' in the classified documents.

We found the legendary 'River Stone Carving' in Yin Shang No.6's burial pit, and we also found some unknown skulls near the river.

These skulls were engraved with densely packed Oracle Bone Text. After Old Man Lan compared and deciphered the Oracle Bone Text, he discovered that these Oracle Bone Text were actually 'Luo Shu'.

However, the 'Book of Luo' inscribed on the Oracle Bone Text was even more comprehensive than the 'Book of Luo' that was spread outside. It not only recorded the source but also the key points and things that needed to be paid attention to.

Professor Xu sighed and said slowly, "If I remember correctly, the words recorded on the thirty-fourth skull in Yin Ruins' sixth grave are 'Nine Elephants Heaven Sealing Diagram'."

Hearing those words, Fang Zishu's eyes narrowed.

In the southeastern library, there was also the 'Book of Luo' handpicked book. However, the words on the 'book' were not obscure oracle bone texts or hieroglyphs, but small charms.

To be more accurate, it was the Chun Qiu, Warring States Period's Qin Xiaoling.

Although this' Book of Luo 'was an excerpt of a book that contained a lot of information, most of the information was not complete. Some of the information was even limited to a few scattered sentences.

Like the records of the Nine Elephants Heaven Sealing Diagram, the Fang family's handwritten version of the 'Book of Luo' only had a short four sentences, and other than that, there was no other description.

However, from Professor Xu's excited expression, Fang Zishu could guess that the 'Luo Book' they found in the 'Yin Ruins Pit No. 6', the 'Luo Book' written entirely in Oracle Bone Text, was definitely more comprehensive than the 'Luo Book' that the Fang family had collected.

There must be more things that we don't know about. Otherwise, why would Professor Xu be so excited?
