While sketching, he said to Ye Hao, "Young master, could you please head to the Xun position for a moment?"
Ye Hao nodded upon hearing this and walked past two doors to the right to reach the Xun position, then asked, "Elder Zheng, should I try putting the Jade Seal in now?"
"Young master, give it a try. If you sense anything attacking, move away quickly, which would mean we guessed wrong and that's why a hidden mechanism activated. Be careful," Zheng Guang reminded Ye Hao from his spot.
Ye Hao nodded, then took out the Jade Seal and inserted it into the slot at the Xun position.
After placing it, Ye Hao tensed up, ready for any emergency.
"Buzz buzz!" A light flashed from the slot and the Jade Seal, followed by two buzzing sounds.
Ye Hao quickly turned and asked, "Elder Zheng, is everything okay?"
"Young master, I believe we guessed correctly. The first door was right, making the second door easy," Zheng Guang said excitedly.
"So now I should move to the Dui Gate, correct?" Ye Hao asked from the Xun door position.
"Yes, but young master, you must remove the Jade Seal from the Xun and place it into the Dui quickly. Otherwise, if it takes too long, it might affect the Grand Array," Zheng Guang reminded Ye Hao.
"Okay." Ye Hao nodded in response, quickly grabbing the Jade Seal with his right hand and flashing over to the Dui Gate on the left of the Qian Gate.
"Click!"
Just as Ye Hao placed the Jade Seal in, the slot emitted a halo, followed by a clicking sound.
His body remained tensed to avoid being hit by any sudden arrows.
However, after placing the Jade Seal in the Dui position, nothing happened, and Ye Hao's anxious heart relaxed.
"Boss, how is it? Everything okay?" Xue Zhaolong asked loudly, seeing Ye Hao standing in place.
"It's fine." Ye Hao waved to assure them.
At this moment, Zheng Guang said, "Young master, this should be the Luoshu Array. Next, open the mechanism at the Li position, then move to Gen, Zhen, and Kan positions."
"I'm on it." Ye Hao nodded and proceeded to place the Jade Seal into these positions following the same process.
Once Ye Hao had placed the Jade Seal in all positions, only the Qian position remained.
Everyone's tension eased; it seemed this array was about to be broken!
"Haha, young master, the last Qian position is left, and I believe that's where Ming Taizu's tomb is," Zheng Guang said, looking at Ye Hao from the Kan position.
Ye Hao smiled, remarking, "We're fortunate you know the Luoshu Array, Elder Zheng. Without you, entering here would be as hard as reaching the heavens with just us."
"I only know a bit, young master; you are the genius! Just a little guidance and you knew where to go," Zheng Guang smiled humbly.
"Elder Zheng, don't keep praising the boss; he's always been excellent. How are we supposed to handle continued praise?" Lu Yunsong said helplessly.
"Haha, you all are smart as well," Zheng Guang didn't forget to compliment Lu Yunsong and the others.
At this time, Flying Fish had also marked a few numbers on the Seven Gates.
Seeing this, Ye Hao smiled and said, "One last door remains; follow closely behind me! I don't know how long we'll have to enter, better than being left behind."
Xue Zhaolong and the others nodded and gathered near Ye Hao, with Tao Feng following closely at the back due to his stronger abilities, prepared to assist if any incident arose.
Zheng Guang stayed close to Ye Hao without moving an inch.
Ye Hao reached his right hand into the slot at the Kan position, took out the Jade Seal, and quickly moved to the Qian slot.
As soon as the Jade Seal was placed, the Qian position seemed to receive an order, emitting a buzzing sound.
"Boss, should we step aside for a bit?" Xue Zhaolong suggested, finding the sound quite peculiar.
"No need." Ye Hao smiled confidently, as the door had already partly opened, and he had a general sense of what lay inside.
Inside, there was no danger, but rather a vast amount of gold and silver, seemingly endless in quantity.
Ye Hao's confident smile put Xue Zhaolong and the others at ease.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The buzzing volume increased until the entire Absolute Spirit Wall fully moved aside.
Ye Hao said, "Quickly, let's get inside."
Zheng Guang led Xue Zhaolong and the others rapidly into the interior following the command.
After they entered, Ye Hao retrieved the Jade Seal and slipped inside as well.
Once Ye Hao took back the Jade Seal, the Absolute Spirit Wall outside closed up.
But by now Lu Yunsong and the others stood frozen in place, stunned as they stared at the vast quantities of gold and silver before them—a mountain of gold bars... a silver mountain...
Xue Zhaolong and the three others, Tao Feng, Flying Fish, and Zheng Guang, were all fixed on the scene. Upon entering, Ye Hao was also rooted to the spot.
This... How many tons of gold were needed to form a mountain? At least five or six cubic meters, right? By gold weight, one cubic meter is at least 19.3 tons, so wasn't there over a hundred tons of gold here?
Their breathing quickened as they considered the current domestic gold value, with ten tons roughly equating to 2.5 billion RMB. At a hundred tons, over 25 billion.
Ye Hao wondered if Zhu Yuanzhang had collected all the Ming Dynasty's gold here after his death.
Additionally, there was another building hundreds of tons of silver, nearly filling the entire underground palace...
"Boss... we... we're rich..." Lu Yunsong's eyes sparkled, his voice stammering.
"Yes, we're wealthy," Xue Zhaolong nodded in agreement.
"We've struck it big." Zhuorong Town was equally shocked.
Flying Fish was overwhelmed, having nearly risked his life for a billion-dollar job in the past. Now following Ye Hao, this tomb raid had equated to almost 250 dangerous missions.
Though Zheng Guang also coveted the riches, he didn't need so much money, thus warning Tao Feng and others, "These funds are for investing in prestigious families. If word spreads, the nation may notice, causing trouble for you all."
Tao Feng nodded, having joined Ye Hao from God's hand, and given Ye Hao's generosity, he believed there was no better place to be.
Flying Fish also nodded, having forgotten the assassin's life, content with Ye Hao's brotherhood more than the gold. Their bonds surpassed any wealth.
"We don't need warnings. The more we invest in prominent families, the higher our annual dividends, ha!" Xue Zhaolong laughed.
Ye Hao said nothing, knowing they discovered this together. If they wanted shares, he would allocate them. Regarding future endeavors, he'd let them be!
"Of course! You can opt to divide the gold; I'll ensure a fair split," Ye Hao stated.
"Boss, what are you saying? We're all part of a prestigious group. Why hoard when the group lets us earn?" Xue Zhaolong joked, looking annoyed.
Lu Yunsong and the others nodded, making Ye Hao smile in satisfaction. But this silver... (To be continued.
