Chapter 2018 Something else
Nothing in Emperor Luo Yan's mausoleum has changed much.

The Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum seems to be laxly guarded, but some of the problematic imperial tombs are not open during the day, so there are very few people who can climb up and sneak in. And with the help of surveillance, it is also difficult to enter quietly.

Breaking into a tomb to steal requires transporting the antiquities out, which makes it even more difficult.

Once caught by the patrol guards, they would be sent to prison, and it was not uncommon for them to be beaten to death if caught by the old guard.

Robbing tombs is a thankless and laborious task. The value of the antiquities is not high, and few people are willing to buy them. It is even more difficult to sell them, so it is almost rare to see people coming here to cause trouble.

After months of surveillance, Zhou Rihui was the only one who entered Luo Yan's imperial mausoleum once, while Zhang Xuezhou entered it for the third time.

Everything remains the same in Emperor Luo Yan's Mausoleum, and Zhang Xuezhou holds Zuo Quan's lucky gold necklace.

He didn't expect this lucky gold necklace to bring any special benefits, but just wanted to reduce the hidden bad luck as much as possible.

Zhang Xuezhou held the Tongtian Jade Ruler and scanned it back and forth to see if there was any part that could be inserted.

"If Zuo Quan is controlled by the purple gladiolus, then either the other party has been casting spells to influence him, or the purple gladiolus has turned into some special plant that is parasitic on Zuo Quan's body!"

Thinking of the tumor that appeared when Zuo Quan was examined, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but suspect that the purple gladiolus might have turned into a tumor.

He checked back and forth in the tomb of Emperor Luo Yan, but he didn't find any energy fluctuations that could indicate continuous casting of spells, and the remaining range of speculation was further reduced.

"It seems to be here?"

Zhang Xuezhou searched for a long time but couldn't find the mechanism where the Tongtian Jade Ruler could be inserted, but after searching back and forth, he felt that he had found the place where the purple gladiolus grass might have escaped underground.

This is where the burial objects of Emperor Luo Yan were piled up. For many committee members who did not like to turn over burial objects, these places were rarely explored, and there were not many traces of being trampled on the ground.

The reason why Zhang Xuezhou was discovered was simply because the place was extremely messy and there were some fine black bird feathers stuck in the objects.

This was the place where Zhou Rihui had made random arrests and investigations before. It was very likely that the Jade Ruler of Heaven was taken out of the mausoleum by Zhou Rihui here.

There are also two other traces of footprints where the Tongtian Jade Ruler was. One undoubtedly belongs to Zhang Xuezhou who made the two previous explorations, and the other seems to come from Zuo Quan.

Zhang Xuezhou's brain quickly recalled the scene of the first exploration in his mind.

They found nothing in Luo Yan's imperial tomb. The many people hurriedly searched a limited area, and then quickly rushed to Luo Zhong's imperial tomb. No one set foot in the corners of the palace to search.

When they returned to rescue Zuo Quan, they found out it was a false alarm, as Zuo Quan had already gone out again.

"This must be the trace of Zuo Quan's exploration. He may have had an accident here. Some soil has been stirred up here. It is very likely left by the Purple Gladiolus Grassland where he escaped."

The many floor tiles used to pave the imperial mausoleum are thick and heavy, making it extremely difficult for one person to dig or penetrate into them.

Zhang Xuezhou has always wanted to renovate and rebuild several imperial tombs in order to dig out these large pieces of floor tiles and other objects to see if there are any clues hidden underground.

"If the psychedelic effect can be broken, the purple gladiolus will be vulnerable!"

"They were informed of the danger and were trying to escape!"

"Those who are short of time will rush to the ground, while those who have enough time will choose a safe corner."

"This should be the place that Purple Gladiolus considers to be the safest, which even evaded the search of many sequence committee members!"

……

Zhang Xuezhou kept making judgments in his mind.

He touched the loose soil on the edge of the floor tile, thought for a few seconds, and then inserted the jade ruler into the gap.

"long!"

A faint magical power floated in his hand, and the jade ruler quickly stretched out and reached downwards.

The loose soil made it not too difficult for the jade ruler to move downwards. When Zhang Xuezhou pushed it with his hand, the nearly one-meter-long jade ruler was pressed down again.

"Long!" When the Tongtian Jade Ruler is shrunk, it is only the size of a finger, but when it is extended, it can easily become the length of a long sword.

If Zhang Xuezhou had infused more magic power into it, and there was no need for it to be thick, but only thin and long, the length measured by this jade ruler would be longer.

When the two-meter-long jade ruler was inserted, Zhang Xuezhou only felt that he vaguely touched something hard.

"There seems to be something buried underneath!"

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the jade ruler was not touching hard soil or rocks.

He pushed it gently and felt the jade ruler seemed to make a crisp sound when it touched.

"Is it some special jade?"

Zhang Xuezhou just started to have doubts in his heart, when he saw a faint golden light floating on the Tongtian Jade Ruler, and a sense of familiarity suddenly surged into his heart.

"There is indeed another secret beneath the surface!"

Zhang Xuezhou stretched out his hand and pulled out the Tongtian Jade Ruler, only to see the golden light quickly fade away.

When he pulled out the jade ruler, the golden light did not gush out as he had imagined, but everything seemed quiet.

When Zhang Xuezhou inserted the Tongtian Jade Ruler again, a faint golden light floated over the Tongtian Jade Ruler again.

If it is impossible to dig it downwards, the Tongtian Jade Ruler will be the medium that can touch the fortune of the Luofu Dynasty.

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the luck that was rising like a ray of spiritual energy.

Compared with the Dongshan Qi that is everywhere in the mountains, this scene is undoubtedly child's play, and it is difficult to quickly help Zhang Xuezhou's body evolve again.

But Zhang Xuezhou had to say that these conditions were actually very good. Even if he became a close minister of the new emperor and followed the emperor, the greatest figure in the dynasty, the benefits he would enjoy would be no more than this.

This requires years of accumulation to continuously move forward.

It is rare to push the body forward to a crazy growth all at once, and it is hard to come across this even once in several years. However, slow infusion and growth can be achieved all the time, and everything will fall into place naturally as time goes by.

"Well, let's borrow some luck for now, so as to avoid the disaster when Zuo Quan targets us!"

If Dongshan's fortune surges again, Zhang Xuezhou feels that there is a high possibility that Zuo Quan will come back to check.

The possibility of such a trickle of requests being detected is very low.

He touched the gold necklace and saw that the purple light on it had dimmed. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, thinking that if Zuo Quan hadn't taken the initiative to give him a gift, the probability of him achieving the current situation would be very low.

This strategy of using Zuo Quan's methods to counter any methods that Zuo Quan might have deployed has obviously been successfully implemented.

Zhang Xuezhou stretched out his hand and grabbed the Tongtian Jade Ruler, only to see a faint golden light circling upwards along his right hand.

His body shook slightly, darkness passed before his eyes, and the movement of his fish-dragon body suddenly appeared.

Strands of golden light emerged from the ichthyosaur's front claws and spread along its forearms to all over its body.

A vague sense of fulfillment surged in his heart, and Zhang Xuezhou felt very satisfied for a moment.

When he comes here to practice from time to time, he will gain a lot of benefits.

But the most important problem is that this will not alarm Zuo Quan.

Zhang Xuezhou lowered his head with his dragon-like body, and looked at the magic spell that Zuo Quan was casting on him.

Through perception, Zhang Xuezhou was very clear that Zuo Quan was still in Xijing City.

Just as Zhang Xuezhou could only determine that Zuo Quan was in Xijing City, Zuo Quan could only roughly determine that he was in the direction of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum, but it was difficult for him to locate such a detailed location as the tomb of Emperor Luo Yan.

Once his identity as the manager of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum is issued, Zhang Xuezhou can appear here legally and in compliance with regulations without arousing much suspicion.
