Chapter 117 Major Discovery

Though it was just a whim, an idea that suddenly popped into my head, I didn't expect to actually find something.

According to this unofficial history, Liu Bowen really did come to Sichuan.

However, this was also reasonable. Sichuan is known as the Land of Abundance and has also produced many emperors.

For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei established the Ji Han regime here; during the Western Jin Dynasty, Li Te captured Yizhou, and his son Li Xiong declared himself emperor in Chengdu; during the Five Dynasties period, there was also the Later Shu regime here, and so on.

Therefore, if Liu Bowen wanted to sever the dragon veins of the world, he certainly couldn't do without Shu.

I saw that the idea I had casually come up with had actually pointed me in the right direction, and I eagerly turned the book to the section where Liu Bowen came to Shu.

Immediately afterward, I saw a map, a map of Shu.

This map depicted the Sichuan-Chongqing area during the Ming Dynasty, which was different from the current administrative divisions, and could even be said to be completely different.

However, through some landmarks such as mountains and rivers, I could still vaguely recognize the specific locations on the map.

Soon, I found the Tuo River, the Yazi River, and the Mamu River surrounding the Sanxingdui Ruins on this map.

Although these rivers have changed course several times in the last hundred years, it has not affected their general trend on the map, so they are easy to identify and can be found at a glance.

After finding the Tuo River, I suddenly saw a mark on the Tuo River, which was a symbol of swords crossing, and the author marked a line of small characters next to it - the ruins of Liu Bowen severing the dragon vein.

At first, I found it funny, thinking that this was obviously just a folk tale. Whether Liu Bowen actually severed the dragon vein in real history is still uncertain, but this author is really something, even creating a fake relic.

But after a closer look, I broke out in a cold sweat, and the hairs on my body stood on end!

The location of this Liu Bowen Dragon Vein Severing Site happened to be the location of the ancient Shu tomb on the Tuo River!

The opposite of this marker point is the town where Little Mei-jie lives, absolutely correct, without the slightest deviation. My heart "thumped," and I began to realize that the author of this book was onto something, at least not just making things up.

Following the course of the Tuo River, I continued to look down and soon found a second mark on the map.

The location of this mark happened to be on the Yazi River, and upon closer inspection, wasn't this the location of the Yazi River ancient Shu tomb?

The map clearly read - the ruins of Liu Bowen severing the dragon vein!

At that moment, I was completely dumbfounded, and the hand holding the book was constantly shaking. I thought this book was nonsense, but it turned out that the author was seriously doing archeology!

Thinking about it again, I suddenly remembered something, that is, the Ming Dynasty tomb robbery tunnel we encountered when we finally escaped from the Yazi River ancient tomb.

At that time, I felt that this tomb robbery tunnel was very strange. Why was it that the tomb robbers suddenly stopped digging when they were only one step away from the ancient tomb?

Moreover, there seems to be no historical record of official tomb robbery during the Ming Dynasty. Why would a group of people suddenly emerge and openly excavate ancient Shu tombs?

Now that I think about it, these people are probably not here to rob tombs, they are simply Liu Bowen's subordinates, who came to sever the dragon vein!

It's just that King Boguan was also proficient in feng shui and directly built his mausoleum on the dragon vein. Therefore, when Liu Bowen severed the dragon vein, he accidentally dug out a "tomb robbery tunnel" above the ancient Shu tomb.

Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense!

Unexpectedly, the rumors in history that Liu Bowen severed the dragon veins of the world were actually true!

I suppressed the excitement in my heart and continued to look at the map. I saw that the author had marked a total of five "Liu Bowen Dragon Vein Severing Sites" in this area, and according to previous experience, the locations of these five sites may all contain the tomb of King Boguan.

"Awesome, this author is too awesome!"

I sincerely lamented that there are experts among the people. I didn't expect that the content of a seemingly nonsensical unofficial history could actually stand up to scrutiny.

I took this book and went to Xiao Liang, pointing to the map and said, "Xiao Liang, look, take a look!"

Xiao Liang said with an impatient face, "What are you looking at? Your storybook? Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, I'm studying history books, and my head is getting big..."

I know that Xiao Liang looks down on my unofficial history book, but my unofficial history book is not that simple.

I pointed to the map on the book page and said, "Xiao Liang, just take a look, I promise that after reading this one glance, you will never want to read any other book again, really."

Xiao Liang couldn't stand my nagging, so she had to sigh helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, I'll take a look."

After speaking, she looked at the map on the book page. At first, she didn't feel anything, but after taking a closer look, Xiao Liang gasped and made a "ah" sound just like me.

I said with a smile, "How is it? Do you know why I asked you to read this book? Don't look down on unofficial history, sometimes the records in unofficial history are more reliable than official history."

Xiao Liang still hasn't recovered from the shock, staring blankly at the map, repeatedly confirming the locations marked on it.

After several minutes, she excitedly asked me, "No way? Is the story of Liu Bowen severing the dragon veins of the world in history true?"

"Better to believe it than not." I said with a profound look on my face.

Then I added: "By the way, didn't I say that when we escaped from the Yazi River ancient Shu tomb, we encountered a tomb robbery tunnel from the Ming Dynasty? There were also a group of tomb robbers' remains in the tomb robbery tunnel, as well as their tools..."

Xiao Liang immediately understood and patted her thigh, making a "slap" sound, and said: "I understand! Those are not tomb robbers at all, they are Liu Bowen's people! They are not digging a tomb robbery tunnel, they are severing the dragon vein!"

"As expected of a top student, so smart!" I said with a smile and nodded.

Then I pointed to the remaining "Liu Bowen Dragon Vein Severing Site" marks on this map and said: "Now it's simple, we just need to follow the clues on this map, search one by one, and we can find other ancient Shu tombs."

Xiao Liang nodded repeatedly, then closed the thick *Guanghan County Chronicles* in front of her, and complained: "If I had known, I wouldn't have read this crappy official history. I've been reading it for two days, and my eyes are sore, and it's not as useful as the information recorded in your unofficial history book."

I said with a smile: "I also had a sudden flash of inspiration, thinking that Liu Bowen's Dragon Vein Severing requires finding dragon points and acupoints, which is the same principle as Gao Shiye finding ancient tombs! I didn't expect that I would actually get it right by accident, it's all fate."

Xiao Liang said: "Actually, one sentence you said just now is very correct, that is, sometimes the records in unofficial history are more reliable than official history, because official history is too official, and some things that can't be put on the table will not be recorded by historians. Unofficial history is different, there are not so many rules and regulations, and you can speak freely. Although there is a certain amount of fiction, many unknown past events have to be passed down through unofficial history."
