Chapter 563 There Are No Tigers in the Mountains, and Monkeys Claim to Be Kings

Professor Xu patiently explained, "The gorge is shaped like a groove, with coffins lined up on both sides of the mountain, and there is a sky-opening line on the top. The water flows from west to east, and the middle line is the source of the flow. If you deviate from the left or right, or go against it, it will go against the Feng Shui taboo that has been followed for thousands of years. Remember, you must never go against the flow of Feng Shui, otherwise, everyone in your family, including those present, will have bad luck."
Professor Xu is not exaggerating. Every word he says is reasonable. Although he teaches history, he also has knowledge in feng shui.
Shen Lirang is scared by what he said, and keeps asking, "Really? Really?"
Zhang Xiuxian didn't even wipe the water off his body and shouted at Professor Shen Li, "Do as the professor said, I haven't had enough of my life, and I don't want to get involved in any unlucky matters."
Professor Shen Li's boat has already started, and he drove the boat downstream.
At this point, the mountain apes seemed to be angry. They saw the boat not backing off, but instead coming in, opening their mouths and declaring sovereignty. They were the master here.
Yue Xin thought, it's really like the saying goes, "no tigers in the mountains, the monkeys would be king". For many years, no one has come to the Coffin Mountain, and now these wild monkeys are taking advantage of the situation. As a legitimate descendant of the Coffin Mountain, he has returned to his homeland only to be chased by people.
The speed of the boat is very fast, and the mountain monkeys on both sides of the coffin mountain are running after it. Their speed is extremely fast. Some old and dilapidated coffins are smashed in their bounding. Soon, several crazy ones in the front jumped from the coffins on the cliff, and their target was their boat.
Next, three or five of them flew down, driving the mountain apes crazy as they tried to stop the boat from moving forward.
Most of the mountain apes that jumped down fell into the water because they didn't have enough distance, but some strong ones managed to fly onto the boat.
They pounced on people as if they had a great grudge, Zhang Xiuxian had to take out his gun again, and Feng Yu also picked up a shovel. As it turned out, firearms were still more effective, and several injured apes stood still, their eyes bloodshot. They seemed to have lost their reason, and it was unclear why.
With the exploration lamp on the boat, Zhang Xiuxian saw countless mountain apes coming and going on both sides of the wall, and cursed, "Damn it, I didn't steal your rice, why are you working so hard?"
"Have you noticed that these mountain apes are not quite normal? Could it be because we've disturbed the Guanyin Temple and angered them?"
"Damn, it's very possible. Luckily, we're on the water, otherwise we wouldn't be able to handle them." Zhang Xiuxian fired two shots into the mountains to scare them off. He held a sledgehammer in one hand and stood on the deck with Feng Yu, then turned and asked, "Professor Xu, where should we go? Have you found a good route?"
The boat kept cruising through the gorge, and Coffin Mountain is a branch crack in the Wu Gorge. It looks small here, but it feels like it goes on forever when you walk. Feng Yu believed in Professor Xu's guidance, and he and Zhang Xiuxian have been driving away the mountain apes, their numbers increasing. Several of them have already climbed onto their bodies.
At this point, Professor Xu is gesturing with the distribution of Tianxing Fengshui. He asks Shen Li to move closer to a cliff. The location they are in corresponds to the fifth star position of Tianxing Palace in Fengshui, which corresponds to the Kan Gate in terms of territorial status. It should be a place with a living chance.
Shen Li warned Professor Xu that it would be very dangerous to approach the side of the mountain, where on one hand, monkeys were jumping down and on the other hand, falling coffins would be hazardous to the boat. However, Professor Xu was adamant and Shen Li had to reluctantly bring the boat closer. Under the light of the searchlight, the water was cold and calm, and numerous old coffins hung on the mountain wall.
Professor Xu found a nearly empty place on the mountain wall. He asked Shen Li to approach and, upon shining a light, they found a door on the mountain wall, situated a few meters above the ground. Without the light, it would have been difficult to spot.
“Which one of you go up and take a look, it's that place.” Professor Xu shouted to the two of them.
Zhang Xiuxian immediately moved, "Shen Li, get the boat closer, I'll go up and take a look."
And at this moment, the mountain apes, seeing this situation, suddenly stopped jumping down. Feng Yu looked at them, feeling very strange. They had just gone crazy, but as soon as they stopped in front of this door, they immediately became quiet.
Zhang Xiuxian climbed up while grumbling, "What kind of monkey show are these stinking monkeys playing? And this damn door is not in the right place, just stepping out and falling into the water, they're having a great time playing."
Because the cliff was too slippery, it wasn't easy to climb up the several-meter-high door. Feng Yu acted as a human ladder for him, jumping left and right for a long time before finally reaching the doorway.
"Professor? How do we open it? Do we just push it directly? Is there anything messy inside?"
Zhang Xiuxian used a tool to knock on it, and it was hollow inside. It really was a stone door. The style of the door was very simple, with no decorations at all. It was just a plain stone door.
Professor Xu asked Zhang Xiuxian to try to see if he could open it. The location of this door is very special, and the inside is still unknown. Professor Xu found this place entirely based on theory.
The door had no handle, so Zhang Xiuxian pushed it inside and found it was locked. He picked up a pickaxe and levered it on the gap between the door. The mountain apes standing on the coffin were chattering anxiously, showing that they were more worried about the situation here than Feng Yu and the others.
There must be some connection, otherwise those wild monkeys wouldn't suddenly show such a big change.
Zhang Xiuxian shouted and exclaimed: "Damn it, so tightly sealed, can't pry it open!"
Feng Yu was anxious below, wishing he could go up and take a look. "Try other methods. There are many ancient lock techniques," she said.
Zhang Xiuxian was angry, "If you can do it, then you do it. Can you open the same door with your skills? Dead is dead."
At this time, the mountain apes on the cliff saw that they were no longer making any sound, and began to call out anxiously, one after another, as if discussing some countermeasures. Apes are a kind of primates with higher intelligence. They are really clever and cunning.
Zhang Xiuxian fiddled with the top again for half a day without saying a word. The people below were getting impatient. He changed two different tools and seemed to have figured out something.
"Damn it, this door doesn't open outwards, it opens inwards! Do you know the lintel stone used by the Tang Dynasty? There's one inside, stuck in the door crack. Without moving it, the door can never be opened."
Feng Yu knows quite a bit about Zhang Xiuxian. The pillar-top door stone used in the Tang Dynasty required special techniques to open. He and his uncle once stole a Tang tomb in Shaanxi using the pillar-top door method. At that time, Feng Yu was still young, and his uncle used a small iron hook to thread through the seams, hook the pillar, and with a skilled grip, the door could be opened easily.
