The villagers had all been relocated, and now the entire village resembled a huge construction site.
Hong Fang Zhenren had gone to communicate with various parties, discussing how they should proceed with the entrance and whether to coordinate with the archaeological team.
This matter was handled more conveniently by Hong Fang Zhenren. Li Qing, happy to be at leisure, led Zi Ling and Shisan to the spot they last entered the Underground Palace, following his memory.
"Brother Li, they've demolished this house," Shisan remarked.
Li Qing nodded, "That house was exactly above the Bronze Gate. They would have to dig tunnels like we did, which is too troublesome."
What lay exposed before them now was the massive Bronze Gate, leading straight into the Underground Palace.
Furthermore, Li Qing had just noticed that there were at least four such sites in the village, set up with scaffolding and arrangements like this one.
