Yuanqing Township·Weijia Village
Yuanqing Township is close to the mountains, but there is a river, so it can be irrigated. Looking from the higher Tudi Temple, a river belt flows gracefully. Although there are no big boats, there are small boats going back and forth. There is a wooden bridge across the river, and fields on both sides of the river. Continuous, dotted with thatched cottages, an idyllic scenery
In a courtyard with elm trees in front and mulberry trees behind, someone was talking.
"Young Master, today someone wants to check the information of household registration changes within twenty years." This person is Granny Li, who said with a respectful expression.
Another middle-aged man hurriedly entered the yard and was surprised to see Granny Li there. He turned to a young man and said, "Young Master, someone has come to check the newly relocated household registration. The clerk we installed at the county government just now, Sent the news."
The young man was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun. He was a handsome man with a slightly curved square face, dark and thin eyebrows, a high bridge of nose, and a fair and calm face. He was not young but looked very thin. He listened. There was no reply for a while, so Grandma Li asked: "But a very young man with a majestic face and murderous intent?"
"Yes, mother-in-law!"
"People from the imperial court?" the young man asked.
The middle-aged man was about forty years old. His eyebrows were raised unconsciously, with a murderous look. He did not speak directly at this time, and muttered: "It doesn't look like that if he is from the imperial court, he should be an official. He is Jieyuan. I heard that I became a Taoist master, but I heard he is very famous."
The young man tightened his lips, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Supervise him closely to see what he wants to do."
"Yes, young master." The middle-aged man responded.
Inn
Selling buns, wontons, dumplings, ramen and shaved noodles outside, the spoons and pots collided, and there was the aroma of roasted chicken and braised pork. Pei Ziyun walked out silently and stood under the eaves, letting the wind blow on him. After a long time, he turned back and looked at the household registration file.
"Something is wrong!" Pei Ziyun suddenly remembered that the woman was a spy. Didn't she know about the immigration situation? She subconsciously turned over the household registration of Li and found that the age matched: "This woman originally moved to Weijia Village during the war. Why not explain?"
Feeling a little uneasy, I scrolled down and found that Granny Li was the only one in Weijia Village. I suddenly saw a name: "Hey, Fang Yongjie?"
His face suddenly changed: "Fang Yongjie, this name is so familiar. Could it be the person in the memory of the original owner? The person who is a mortal but has been locked up in the fairy prison, and is still delicious and easy to feed?"
"Fang Yongjie? His surname is Fang! I always feel very familiar."
Pei Ziyun walked to the window and looked out, and saw an old tree as thick as an arm in the courtyard. He shook his head and turned back to think. A sudden flash of inspiration made him lose his voice: "The rebel king who killed the grand master is named Fang Hao. Could it be that he has something to do with it?" "
"Fang Hao can also be regarded as one of the scattered dragon spirits. He killed the Grand Master, which can be said to be revenge. It is also possible that he obtained the Dragon Vein Map of the Grand Master."
"Dragon Vein, Fang Family, Xie Chengdong's Immortal Prison!"
"Is it possible that Fang Yongjie is related to the fairy dragon vein?" This spiritual light flashed, seeming to illuminate the dark night, and there seemed to be a lot of confusion. Pei Ziyun wandered around, gritting his teeth for a long time: "Whether it is true or not, it seems that it is I want to check it out.”
As he was about to run out, some thoughts emerged in Pei Ziyun's mind. He stopped, took the county chronicle of Linshan County, opened it, and looked for the map.
It is said that this map was also a military secret in ancient times. It would be a crime for ordinary families to keep it secretly, but it was opened to Pei Ziyun, so he carefully analyzed it now.
"There is a Weijia Village in Yuanqing Township, and most of the Weijia Villages are immigrants."
"Weijiacun means guard."
"That woman is asking for information. I'm afraid she is actually the eyes and ears of Weijia Village." With this thought, Pei Ziyun took a pen and marked Weijia Village, and a defensive force was formed. Behind Weijia Village was a mountain, and he could escape at any time.
"If it's a military defense method, and it coincides with the direction of the dragon's veins, I'll know clearly when I get there." Pei Ziyun finally felt happy and turned around.
royal palace
The sun shone on the golden glazed tiles, casting a shadow on the ground. Looking along the way, a row of armored soldiers stood in the sun, with some sweat dripping from their brows.
In the palace, several eunuchs and maids were waiting, ready to listen to the call. The emperor's expression became a little worse, and a father-in-law took care of him.
"Ahem" coughed a few more times. The emperor felt a little irritable after eating, so he calmed down and remained silent for a moment: "My health is getting worse and worse."
"Your Majesty, if you take the medicine well, you will recover eventually." The eunuch comforted.
"Who can survive? I fought for more than ten years and became the emperor. I have experienced too much, and I am old." The emperor smoothed his hair and found more than ten white hairs.
Seeing the haggard and aging emperor, the eunuch felt a little sad and wanted to comfort him. The emperor waved his hand and said, "I have conquered the world by fighting in my life. I only hope that my descendants will guard the country and be prosperous for a hundred generations."
"Hey, don't let me worry." The emperor said and continued to drink medicine. Another eunuch entered. When he saw the emperor taking medicine, he knelt aside without saying a word.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" the emperor said calmly.
"Yes, Prince Lu sent me all his notes along the way. It was uneventful and he was doing his best along the way, but..."
"Just what?" When the emperor saw the eunuch kowtow, he said, "Just report it, it's not your fault."
"yes!"
The emperor drank the medicine and listened. He was quite satisfied. He heard that King Lu wanted to eat fish, but the fish on the table was not fresh. , suddenly coughed and turned over all the medicine.
The medicine bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The two eunuchs were frightened and knelt down quickly. The emperor ignored him, with no color on his face, and repeated in a low voice: "I don't know if my descendants can take it." This fish!”
After murmuring, the emperor burst into tears and said, "It's my fault that a humble Yichen can bully my son."
The emperor shed tears and felt a sense of suffocation in his heart. He leaned heavily on the dragon chair, feeling as if his body was hollowed out. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. He had already made a decision and said: "Importance, Prince Fulu County Lord."
The eunuch beside him didn't dare to say anything. He kowtowed and was about to prepare an edict when he was stopped by the emperor: "In charge of the three palaces, I also added this sentence."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Send it out immediately, without delay!" The emperor said coldly with a stern face.
It is said that there were thousands of people in King Lu's motorcade. Not to mention the ox cart, there were also mule carts, and the cavalry had horses. They could only travel forty miles a day. Xie Chengdong looked at it with slightly confused eyes from the ox cart.
There was the sound of footsteps, hooves, and wheels rolling beside me. The sky was a bit overcast, with clouds covering the sky. The villages and outposts along the way were a bit blurry, and the vastness seemed to never end.
"Hey, these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers have condensed the dragon energy. If you don't walk around and see it for yourself, you really can't understand it." Just as he was thinking about it, Fu Yi felt hot in his arms.
Due to the influence of being close to King Lu, the heat only dimmed. Xie Chengdong said something and moved to a forest. The tree crowns were not very high, but the surroundings were dark, blocking out much light, so he opened the talisman. A flash of inspiration appeared, and a Taoist priest reported what happened to Pei Ziyun.
When Xie Chengdong heard the report, he couldn't help being surprised. He asked for some details and became furious. He slapped the tree with his palm. The tree suddenly trembled and a handprint appeared.
"Damn it, Guo is eyeing the newly relocated household registration. Does this person know anything about it? No, I have to rush over quickly." Xie Chengdong was about to start, then stopped, lingered for a few steps, and frowned: "King Kelu At the critical moment again, if we lose this, it will be difficult to achieve the great road."
There are many birds in the mountain forest constantly chirping, which makes people more and more bored.
In the car, King Lu was drinking bird's nest porridge. Her face was already rosy, but her previous physical weakness had not fully recovered and she was still a little thin.
Xie Chengdong returned to the team, his face struggling and a little restless.
King Lu put down the porridge, looked at Xie Chengdong and smiled: "Mr. Xie, you have been very restless recently. Why?"
Hearing what King Lu said, Xie Chengdong was shocked, but said: "Your Majesty, I'm a little worried. Everything that should be done has been done. I don't know what the result will be."
King Lu felt warm in his heart after hearing this, and smiled: "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. You have done your best, and I am very grateful. Whether you can succeed or not depends on God's will."
Just then, a fast horse suddenly came running towards him. Both of them felt something and looked up.
I saw a father-in-law riding a fast horse and hurriedly leading a dozen guards. The leading eunuch was galloping and shouting: "Your Highness, King Lu, please stay, there is an imperial edict."
Hearing this voice, Xie Chengdong stood up and smiled: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's done."
King Lu also stood up: "Hurry, come with me to greet the angel."
The incense table was set up. Prince Lu was wearing the clothes of a county prince. She was a little thin, but her complexion improved a lot. She glanced at the eunuch before kneeling down, and saw that the eunuch had a flattering smile on her face. She was immediately reassured, and hurriedly knelt down to greet the imperial edict: "My dearest greetings to you!"
"Honor, Holy Gong!" The eunuch slowly unfolded the imperial edict and read: "Zhi said: Wang Congwu of Lu County has long since served the country. He is sincere in serving the country. He is pardoned for his crimes and cruelty. He is reinstated as a prince and leads him with the old title. He is increased to the three prefectures and should be guarded. The border pass has lived up to my expectations, I appreciate this!"
After hearing this imperial edict, King Lu trembled all over and shed tears. All the plans were made for today. Wiping away his tears, King Lu shouted: "I accept the edict, thank you!"
Xie Chengdong looked secretly, and as the imperial edict was announced, he heard a dragon roar and pounced on King Lu, and the aura of King Lu changed drastically.
He was cut into a county king, with traces of black energy lingering around him. He was granted the title of prince again and was given three guards. The snake immediately grew claws and was surrounded by yellow water waves.
Looking at the changes, Xie Chengdong couldn't help but sigh: "After practicing Taoism for ten years, a piece of paper is not as good as a proclamation. It's just that you have to cultivate Taoism yourself, and the power belongs to you. If you don't specifically target it, you can be free and have its own advantages and disadvantages."
Then he looked at King Lu, who welcomed the imperial edict and sent the eunuch away. Xie Chengdong thought to himself: "We have the capital of Longxing, and then we need to obtain the merit of following the dragon. Then we can use the dragon's energy to defeat the earthly immortal."
King Lu rewarded the eunuch heavily, watched the eunuch who announced the edict leave, and stood under the sun holding the edict in his hand before taking a deep breath of depression. At this time, Xie Chengdong stepped forward to congratulate: "Congratulations, Your Highness."
