"The Japanese imperial family saw the entrance to the former imperial tomb. It had been dug out of the ground by some quacks.

I accidentally noticed that the pattern in the middle of the stone gate at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum is a bit special, I don’t know what it means.”

After that, the prince described the pattern he saw.

Everyone was thoughtful after hearing this.

Is that pattern related to the treasure?

"Your Highness, let's take out the parchment and the imperial seal of the previous dynasty and have a look at it again." Shangguan Ziqi suggested. He felt that the prince's discovery might very well be a clue.

"Hmm. Maybe there's something we haven't discovered yet."

The prince asked someone to prepare a basin of hot water, and Prince Rong took out the original painting and spread it in the water.

The treasure map they had seen many times appeared again.

The eight words "Dragon Vein's Source, Heaven and Earth's Secret" are extremely clear.

"Hey, the handwriting of these words and the four characters '天命所归' on the stone gate seem to be written by the same person. They both have the character 天, and if you look closely, they look like an arrowhead with the tip missing.

The four characters "天命所归" on the stone gate were arranged in three rows, with "天" and "命" occupying one row each, and "所归" sitting at the bottom. The arrangement of the small and large characters was just like a small tower. "The prince discovered some clues.

"Your Highness, do you mean this could very well be a hint?" Prince Rong asked in confusion after hearing this.

"How about I go and take a look now?" Prince Jing suggested.

Except for the prince, the other three hadn't seen it yet, so they couldn't come to a conclusion.

"Yes, let's take a look and then come back to discuss it." Shangguan Ziqi agreed.

The prince nodded.

The picture in the water was folded up again, and once it left the water, the pattern on it slowly disappeared.

Everyone should keep it firmly in mind.

The few of them quietly left the tent without alerting the gangsters stationed not far from them.

They used Qinggong to get to the entrance of the imperial mausoleum. The soldiers guarding there saw them coming and wanted to step forward, but the prince waved them away.

The prince and several others stood in front of the stone gate at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum. The dim light of the torches reflected on the pattern on the top of the stone gate.

The pattern is complex and mysterious, with intertwined lines, which really gives people the feeling that there is some hidden meaning.

Several people stared at the pattern with frowns.

"The direction of the lines of this pattern seems to be related to the 'Source of Dragon Veins, Secrets of Heaven and Earth' on the parchment." The prince whispered.

"Indeed, the direction of these lines seems to point to a certain direction. You see, the word pyramid composed of 'Destiny' is an arrow pointing directly to the south." The prince nodded in agreement.

Shangguan Ziqi also observed it carefully and said in a deep voice: "If this pattern is really an indicator, then the treasure is likely to be in that direction. As for the exact location, we need to further confirm it on the spot."

Shangguan Ziqi looked in the direction indicated by the "Heaven's Destiny" tower.

Prince Jing clenched the torch in his hand and looked closely at the pattern on it: "Since that's the case, we might as well explore in this direction first. Even if we can't find the entrance, at least we can narrow the scope."

The prince nodded in agreement.

"Okay, we'll look in that direction tomorrow.

However, the action must be covert so as not to be noticed by other people in the underworld.

As for the people who work with us, we can look for them somewhere else.

If it is as we guessed, we don’t need to give the credit to the Jianghu people. If we find it and there is a mechanism inside, we can ask them to dismantle it.”

"Your Highness is absolutely right." Shangguan Ziqi also felt that there was no need to let the people from the martial arts world get involved.

After discussing it, they quietly left the entrance of the imperial mausoleum as they had come and returned to their residence.

The night was deep and the forest was silent. Only the dim light of torches flickered in the darkness, and everyone felt that they had a direction.

The next day, the prince assigned each team a search route as usual, and asked each team to pay attention to whether there were any caves or the like on the mountain wall.

Maybe it is in a cave that they have not discovered, or maybe the branches and leaves of some trees are blocking the cave.

After all other teams had left, the prince led his team out.

Those who were taken away were certainly those gangsters.

Since the arrival of the Jianghu man, my team has not started any operations. This is also for safety reasons.

At present, there are more and more gangsters in the entire Jiulong Mountain, and the preliminary estimate is that there are more than a thousand people.

It would be quite troublesome if they united to harm the prince and others for their own selfish reasons.

The prince and others followed the direction indicated by the pattern and walked for about an hour before arriving at a valley.

The valley is thick with trees, the terrain is steep, and there are jagged rocks on both sides, which is a barrier formed by the sky. If you want to climb to the top of the mountain, it is still difficult without some skills.

The water flowing down from the mountain formed a small stream that flowed at the exit of the valley and merged into the Jiuhui River.

The prince stopped and looked around: "The terrain here is quite consistent with the 'Dragon Vein Source' mentioned on the parchment. Perhaps the treasure is nearby."

The prince felt that they were closer to the treasure.

In fact, they had come here to look for it before, but found nothing.

At that time they just took a cursory look and found that it was no different from other places, so they did not conduct a intensive investigation.

"Yes, this valley is not small. The key is how we can find an exit." The prince agreed with the prince's point of view.

"Since the pattern on the stone gate is related to the eight characters on the parchment, perhaps we can take a closer look at those eight characters - 'Dragon Vein Source, Heaven and Earth Secret'. This 'Heaven and Earth Secret' may not only have a literal meaning, but may also imply some kind of mechanism or clue." Shangguan Ziqi looked around and said.

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Ziqi is right. We might as well look around to see if there are any special signs related to 'heaven and earth' nearby. Don't miss any trees on the mountain either."

Several people, each with a few subordinates, searched carefully in the valley in different directions.

However, despite their best efforts, they were unable to find any obvious clues.

Every stone and every piece of terrain in the valley seemed to be ordinary and nothing special.

Finally, they reunited, all with a hint of disappointment on their faces.

Prince Jing sighed: "We can only determine the approximate location from the map, but we can't find the specific entrance."

Everyone was silent in thought.

The prince was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We may need more clues. The pattern on the stone door, the 㫧 character on the parchment, and even the imperial seal of the previous dynasty may all be the key to solving this mystery. We can return to study it carefully and perhaps make new discoveries."

"That's all we can do. However, today's action was not fruitless. At least we have determined the approximate location of the treasure. Next, we need more patience to observe." The prince sighed and said.

"Your Highness, don't be discouraged. Treasure hunting is full of unknowns. Moreover, we only have a map and no other information. Or there might have been other information, but the royal family of the previous dynasty did not leave it behind. But I think as long as we persevere, we will find it eventually." Shangguan Ziqi comforted him, and also comforted himself.

The prince took a deep breath and said, "You are right. Let's go back and make plans tomorrow."

After returning to the camp, the prince and others did not rest, but immediately reorganized the details of the parchment, the imperial seal of the previous dynasty and the stone gate pattern, trying to find more clues from them.

The secret of the treasure may be hidden in these seemingly unrelated symbols and letters. As long as you solve this puzzle, perhaps the entrance to the treasure can be found.

It was late at night, but the lights in the prince's tent were still on.

Several people sat together again and discussed Tian's actions in a low voice.

"Your Highness, how about asking my wife to come and take a look? Her observation skills may be sharper than ours." Shangguan Ziqi suddenly suggested.

He felt that his wife was from a later generation and might look at things differently from them, and might even be more inspired than these grown men.
