"Ziwei Star, what does it symbolize in your eyes?"
At this moment, Professor Chen and others walked out, Professor Chen, and Shirley Yang also had curiosity on their faces.
If it were anyone else, asking them what Ziwei Star was, Professor Chen would definitely say, the North Star.
However, in the eyes of a master like Hu Bayi, it was certainly not so.
Therefore, they wanted to understand what Hu Bayi meant by Ziwei Star.
"Ziwei Star represents nobility, it represents the lord of the stars. In ancient times, it was also a symbol of power and wealth. Countless royal tombs, generally, chose to be built under Ziwei Star."
"Have you heard a saying, 'Under Ziwei Star, there must be a great tomb.'"
Hu Bayi spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something ordinary.
But his words made the expert team excited, their eyes lit up, and some students even quickly took notes.
If these things were not explained by someone, and they had to figure them out themselves,
It would probably take a very long time.
Shirley Yang looked at Hu Bayi, she was fascinated by Hu Bayi's Feng Jin Ding Xue (a method of grave robbing based on feng shui) and his abilities.
"It seems we are close."
Zhang Tian looked at the sky, which was gradually turning white, and in his sight, they had already passed a small island.
"Boss, we just passed the Guard Island, it seems we should arrive this morning."
Hu Bayi looked at the small island they had just passed.
Previously, they had seen on the map that there were five small islands guarding the undersea tomb of the Xisha Sea,
Each symbolizing the fate of the five sacred beasts.
Seeing the small island, Shirley Yang and the professors were very curious.
Why was an ordinary small island considered a divine beast in Hu Bayi's eyes?
If they had to find it using scientific methods, they might never find it in their lifetime.
"Chinese culture is profound and extensive. Comrade Hu, you are truly an extraordinary person."
"Even we archaeologists are no match for you!"
Professor Chen admired Hu Bayi greatly. This made Hu Bayi a bit shy. Professor Chen kept giving him compliments like sugar-coated bullets.
Who could withstand that?
"Boss, is Old Hu experiencing old-fashioned shyness?"
Fatty looked at Hu Bayi, a slight blush appearing on his dark face, and he said in a low voice.
"Fatty, you don't understand, this is like an old apple, especially red."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty gave him a thumbs up.
"Boss, in terms of talent, Fatty will bow down."
As they were talking, the sky gradually brightened, and the ship's speed slowed down.
After passing the small island, it took about an hour for Zhang Tian and the others to reach the location indicated on the map.
This was in a sea area in the center of the island chain.
The ship slowly stopped in the middle of the sea. Looking at the sea surface, which was the same as other parts of the ocean, Professor Chen could not help but say.
"This place, the same as other places, yet it hides a great tomb, it's truly a miracle."
He said, Hu Bayi nodded, and Zhang Tian had already brought the diving suits.
Because of what happened last night, the captain no longer dared to show himself, so even when the ship stopped, the man was nowhere to be seen.
"Look at the sky, this is directly under the Ziwei Star, right here."
Hu Bayi pointed to the sky. Although it was daytime, the dark clouds had parted, and they could still faintly see the Ziwei Star twinkling in the sky.
"Boss, why would this tomb be built underwater? The technology back then should not have been advanced, right?"
Fatty asked from the side, his face full of curiosity.
Zhang Tian nodded, and everyone looked at him.
"This tomb is also known as the Sunken Ship Tomb."
"When it was built, they intentionally sank the ship, and then, in the limited space, they built this mausoleum."
"The designer of this tomb was very skilled, not only ensuring air circulation but also managing to build a peerless tomb."
Zhang Tian said, and everyone nodded.
In fact, many things were difficult to explain at the time, after all, such a large tomb would require a lot of manpower and material resources, and there was a lack of air underwater.
With so many people working, the air would definitely not be enough.
Unless Wang Canghai had too many pets.
"According to historical records, this underwater tomb, we don't know which era it was built in. Some say Ming Dynasty, some say Song Dynasty, no one knows which dynasty it belongs to."
"Unless we go in and investigate."
Professor Chen's aged voice came.
"Professor Chen, why don't you stay here when we go in later?"
Shirley Yang looked at Professor Chen. Professor Chen was quite old now and had no children until later in his life.
The children born later were also raised by him in his later years. Chen Xi's father was actually raised by Professor Chen.
This is also why Chen Xi is relatively young, while her grandfather is from that era.
"No, I want to go in. The things inside are very precious, and I don't want to miss this opportunity. Perhaps after this, I will never see such an ancient tomb again."
Professor Chen said, and Shirley Yang didn't say anything more.
She knew very well that old professors like them were the kind of people who were not afraid of death for the sake of research.
Zhang Tian didn't care about Professor Chen going underwater.
As long as he didn't have heart disease.
Soon, they all put on their diving suits. For safety, Zhang Tian specially prepared an oxygen tank.
After all, if there wasn't enough oxygen inside, the oxygen tank would be their only safeguard.
Zhang Qilin, on the other hand, didn't need anything and went lightly equipped.
"Boss, second brother is so brave! Fatty respects him."
Fatty saw that he was carrying a lot of bags, while Zhang Qilin carried nothing and was not afraid at all. Fatty gave him a thumbs up.
"Boss, is second brother going into a tomb for the first time?"
Hu Bayi also looked over. He hadn't seen Zhang Qilin before. This was the first time Hu Bayi had cooperated with him in a tomb exploration.
"No, he goes often."
They were all family, so Zhang Tian didn't hide anything.
After all, Xiao Ge (referring to Zhang Qilin) practically lived in tombs, so saying he hadn't been in any would be dishonest.
The ancient tomb is my home, and living in it is for everyone.
"That's good then."
Hu Bayi nodded. He was worried that if Zhang Qilin hadn't been to tombs before, he would need a lot of help if he encountered danger.
But he didn't expect Zhang Tian to say that he went often, so he was overthinking.
"Wait a moment, Fatty, take out the bowls."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty took out the porcelain bowls. At the same time, they each drank a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Ge's eyes flickered.
He finally understood why the big snake in the Lu King's Palace was missing an eye, and why those ghosts and spirits were somewhat restless back then.
It turned out Zhang Tian was responsible for these things too.
Drinking mixed blood would produce a certain amount of Yin energy, so the chance of attack from malevolent entities inside would not be high.
"What are they drinking?"
The expert group was stunned to see Zhang Tian and the other two take a sip of blood.
"Aren't they afraid of bacterial infections?"
"Dog blood, snake blood, chicken blood, isn't this what Taoist priests use?"
"I'm really worried that some of us will die from bacterial infections before we even enter the tomb."
Some young experts and scholars muttered to themselves.
Zhang Tian's face turned black.
If you can't speak properly, don't speak. Why are you cursing people?
"We'll go down first. If a bubble floats up from underwater, then you can go down."
Zhang Tian said softly. As for the blood in the bowl, Zhang Tian was too lazy to give it to the expert group, because they wouldn't drink it even if he did.
They might even complain again. Zhang Tian was not a saint, so he simply didn't give it to them.
Professor Chen and the others nodded.
"Thank you, sorry to trouble you."
Professor Chen said with a smile.
Zhang Tian nodded, didn't say much, and with the four of them carrying their backpacks, jumped off the ship.
"One rules a mountain, calling themselves the mountain king. If Fatty rules the sea, wouldn't he be called the Sea King?"
Fatty thought to himself, and he suddenly felt a sense of the majesty of mountains and seas.
Without hesitation, after a moment of emotion, Fatty also jumped down with Zhang Tian.
