This is indeed an ordinary world, without gods or spirits.
But, there is metaphysics here.
In fact, metaphysics seems to exist no matter where it is. The difference is that the metaphysics in some places have magical methods that ordinary people cannot understand.
To put it bluntly, the fortune of Fubao is also metaphysics.
And the good luck she brings to her family is even more mysterious.
…
Beijing, mountains in the western suburbs.
As the western barrier of the capital, it is also the burial place of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty. There are usually four guards stationed here. This part of the army is generally called the Huangling Camp.
But at this moment, the four guards and horses of the Huangling Camp that were supposed to be stationed in the mountains were empty.
The imperial mausoleum of the Tang Dynasty did not have any guarding force at this time.
The person who caused all this was Emperor Yongping.
After the news came that Xu Laoer had killed two northern barbarian princes in succession, Emperor Yongping once again thought of quelling the northern barbarians in a battle.
Therefore, Emperor Yongping issued an order to review the northern and southern camps.
Of course, the review is fake, but taking the opportunity to stir up trouble is real.
After hearing from the princess and Eunuch Lan that the North and South Battalions were not as good as before, Emperor Yongping was thinking of finding an opportunity to reorganize the North and South Battalions.
And for this kind of thing, you must find a suitable opportunity.
The news that Xu Laoer had killed the two young princes of the Northern Barbarians was so exciting that Emperor Yongping felt that this was an opportunity.
Use this to parade and launch an attack.
Therefore, in the face of the imperial edict, the four guards and horses of Huangling Camp could only move out from the station.
But no one would know that not long after the soldiers and horses of the Huangling Camp left, someone would cross the defense line of the Huangling Camp and go straight to the Imperial Tomb of the Tang Dynasty, heading towards the burial mausoleum of Emperor Taizu, the founder of the Tang Dynasty.
The leader is none other than Du Qingruo, the Saint of the Path of Luck.
Emperor Yongping did not go on a personal expedition, and the plan to rob Luck Road came to nothing. Just when everyone in Jie Yun Dao thought they had lost the opportunity to attack Dragon Vein of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Yongping actually held a military parade.
A military parade is a military parade, but Emperor Yongping didn't even let go of the soldiers and horses of the Four Guards in the Huangling Camp.
For this military parade, the Imperial Tomb Camp naturally released its guard over the Imperial Tomb of the Tang Dynasty.
Thus, the opportunity that Jie Luck Dao had been waiting for finally came again.
Such a God-given opportunity, if they don't seize it, God knows when they will find a second chance to take action
In order to ensure the success of the matter, the Jie Luck Dao can be said to have deployed all its elites, and the team was personally led by the saint Du Qingruo.
"Dig holes quickly!"
Arriving at the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, Du Qingruo raised his hand and waved.
The Jie Yun Dao disciples who followed her quickly identified their location and found the entrance and exit of the tomb.
Although Emperor Taizu was buried, the dragon-breaking stone entering and exiting the tomb had been put down. But for the Jie Luck Dao who has been well prepared, as long as he digs out the location of the Dragon-Breaking Stone, it will not be difficult to open the Dragon-Breaking Stone and enter the tomb.
"Saint, come and see!"
When the Jie Yun Dao disciples dug up where the Broken Dragon Stone was, they were all stunned.
There is a huge gap in the Broken Dragon Stone.
In other words, the tomb of Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty had been dug up.
"Saint, are we still going in?"
"Enter!"
Du Qingruo pondered for a moment and responded coldly.
She came here this time for the Dragon Veins of the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Dragon Vein of the Tang Dynasty is cut off, the Tang Dynasty will soon fall apart. At that time, they will have the possibility of establishing a Tao Kingdom in the Luck-Taking Way.
Once the Tao Kingdom is established, they will have the qualifications to compete in the world and will no longer be controlled by anyone.
"Then, we have to wait until the turbid air in the tomb is emptied, otherwise, we won't be able to survive even if we go in!"
"how long it takes?"
"This is hard to say!"
The disciple of the Jie Yun Taoist disciple who was responsible for digging the tomb responded quickly.
"We can use a blower to blow air into the tomb, which will speed up the time!"
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up!"
Although Du Qingruo is a saint of luck, she is still very fearful when facing the legendary burial mausoleum of Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty.
…
While a group of people from Jie Yun Dao were busy assembling blowers and preparing to blow air into the tomb, Emperor Yongping was once again taught how to behave.
The person who took action this time was an old clan member of the Tang royal family.
The old clan member did not have any prominent status. He was just a descendant of an uncle in the clan of Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was founded, one man attained enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
When Emperor Taizu came to an end, his descendants paid less and less attention to these side clan relatives.
After all, there are too many side branches. If we pay too much attention to it, it will be a heavy burden on the country.
Over time, even the clan mansion forgot the existence of these people.
But now, when Emperor Yongping mobilized all the guards from the North and South Battalions, and even the soldiers and horses from the Huangling Battalion, an old clan member broke into the Qiantian Palace with the canonization document given to his family by Emperor Taizu.
In front of the civil and military officials of the court, Emperor Yongping was scolded bloody.
"Unfilial, extremely unfilial!"
"The country is not in danger, and the imperial mausoleum is unguarded!"
"Your Majesty, you presume to be of Taizu bloodline!"
Being scolded by this old clan member from the side branch, Emperor Yongping was quite confused and raised his eyes to look at Xu Yan, Duke of Changle next to him.
"Mr. Changle, tell me, why is the imperial mausoleum unguarded now?"
"Your Majesty, your decree is to transfer the thirty-six guards from the northern and southern battalions. The four guards and horses stationed at the imperial mausoleum will all belong to the northern battalion!"
Duke Xu Yan of Changle responded respectfully, "I once wrote to ask if we really want to mobilize the four guards of Huangling Camp, but you never replied. Seeing that the military parade is approaching, I mobilized the four guards of Huangling Camp!"
“I, I didn’t see Duke Changle’s memorial!”
Emperor Yongping was dumbfounded.
Although he is not a great leader with great talents and strategies, he has always been conscientious in his work after taking the throne. He will take a look at all the details below even if he stays up all night.
Such an important excerpt was presented to the Duke of the dynasty, so it was impossible for him not to read it.
"Your Majesty, I will hand the document to the Tongzou Office to express my gratitude to my father-in-law!"
"Xie Wen?!"
After hearing what Changle Gong said, Emperor Yongping immediately sent someone to summon the eunuch on duty at the Tongzou Department.
However, the chamberlain was quick to reciprocate.
Xie Wen has died from poisoning.
After hearing the news, everyone in the civil and military dynasties understood that something was wrong!
"Pass my decree, immediately surround the imperial mausoleum with troops!"
"Hurry up!"
The soldiers and horses guarding the imperial mausoleum were mobilized, and the memorial regarding the mobilization of the imperial mausoleum soldiers and horses was stopped by the chamberlain in the palace. The chamberlain then committed suicide by taking poison.
At this moment, unless he was a fool, everyone knew that someone wanted to do something to the imperial mausoleum.
Maybe others don't know it, but as the emperor, Emperor Yongping knew that beneath the imperial mausoleum was the Dragon Vein of the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Taizu left an edict, and if the dragon's veins do not move, the country of the Tang Dynasty will be stable for eternity.
But now, someone is thinking about Dragon Vein.
If the dragon vein is damaged, he will be a sinner of the Tang Dynasty, and he will have no face to kill the ancestors of the Li family after death.
…
The Xishan Imperial Tomb is located.
Du Qingruo has been looking in the direction of the capital. If there is any movement there, there will be fireworks.
"The Taoist Lord is above me and the Three Pure Ones will protect me. Nothing will happen to me!"
“God bless you!”
The Saint of the Path of Luck, who has been doing evil and unjust things, is actually praying for God's blessing at this moment. I have to say that this is a huge irony.
And as if in response to her prayer, a column of smoke slowly rose in the direction of the capital.
Fireworks message!
There is only one piece of news from the representative, and that is that the soldiers and horses of Huangling Camp are returning to defense.
But now, a single firework soaring into the sky is not the end, and soon there are several smoke pillars rising into the sky from different locations.
What does this mean? There is no agreement before.
But Du Qingruo understood that there must be something more urgent than the return of reinforcements from the Huangling Camp.
"how much longer?"
Du Qingruo turned to look at the Jie Yun Dao disciple who was blowing air into the tomb.
The blower was paused and a lighted candle was brought into the corner of the tomb.
The candle burned for a short while and then slowly went out.
"It will take at least another hour to get back to the Saint!"
At this point, this person gave an answer.
"An hour!"
"Boost!"
"Everyone else comes with me!"
Du Qingruo immediately waved his hand and led the Jie Yun Dao disciples who were guarding the side, quickly away from Taizu's mausoleum, and ran quickly towards the mountain road leading to the imperial mausoleum.
From the capital to the imperial mausoleum, if we march in a hurry, it will only take one hour.
Therefore, they must find a way to delay the Imperial Tomb Camp's return to defense. And the only way to do this is to block the road.
"Cut down trees and block the road!"
"You guys, go up and pry up the rocks above!"
"Hurry up!"
Du Qingruo and his disciples from the Jie Luck Path were frantically creating obstacles here.
On the official road from the capital to the imperial mausoleum, war horses galloped.
Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an led the army, leading a large group of cavalry, and rushed towards the imperial mausoleum at lightning speed.
Emperor Yongping did not leave the palace and remained in Qiantian Hall.
It is unknown where the Dragon Vein of the Tang Dynasty originated from, but a section of its body passed by the imperial mausoleum, and the dragon's head landed in the palace.
The emperor's residence here also means to guard the dragon's veins.
At this moment, Emperor Yongping still didn't understand why the Qintian Prison supervisor was saying that destiny was in the Tang Dynasty and asked him to personally conquer the Northern Barbarians. He clearly wanted to transfer him out of the capital, thereby waiting for an opportunity to destroy the Dragon Veins of the Tang Dynasty. .
Now that he did not fight in person, the old thief died of despair.
But these thieves actually had a backup plan and set their sights on the imperial mausoleum.
"The Way of Luck!"
"Eunuch Lan, please pass on my decree. From now on, all the people of the Tang Dynasty, anyone who reports and seizes a member of the Luck-Taking Dao Sect, will be knighted!"
"Also, it is said that the eldest princess has entered the palace, and I want to talk to her!"
Emperor Yongping knew very well that in the Tang Dynasty, who was most closely involved with the Tao of Luck, then it was his aunt.
Once upon a time, Emperor Yongping could turn a blind eye or close one eye.
But now, Jie Luck Dao wants to cut off the Dragon Vein of the Tang Dynasty, so he can no longer ignore it.
"yes!"
Duke Lan responded respectfully, then left the Qiantian Palace and sent someone to summon the eldest princess.
…
At the same time, Dingguo Gongfu was established.
The eldest princess also received news from outside.
Jie Yun Dao had the idea of imperial mausoleum.
"idiot!"
When the eldest princess received the news, she just smiled coldly, "Who is Emperor Taizu? How could he leave such an obvious flaw for you fools to start?"
"What is sister talking about?"
Du Yuan'er didn't see what was written on the note received by the eldest princess, and only heard the eldest princess's mumbling.
The eldest princess turned her head and glanced at Du Yuner, smiled slightly, and said: "It's nothing, they are just a bunch of clowns who think they have some tricks, but in fact they are just making people laugh!"
"Come, sleep with me for a while longer!"
The eldest princess looked at Du Yuner tenderly and crossed her fingers.
Du Yuan'er smiled shyly and soon rolled together with the eldest princess.
"Your Highness, the Holy One has summoned you!"
Before the eldest princess and Du Yuner could do anything, the voice of the female guard leader Riyao came to mind in the courtyard.
"Tell the messenger that I am unwell!"
"By the way, let the chamberlain pass a message to the Holy One. Don't bother yourself with mediocrity and behave like a clown. It's just a joke!"
"yes!"
Ri Yao responded and then exited the yard.
The eldest princess simply held Du Yuner's waist and smiled evilly.
"Wan'er, tell me, if one day my sister and I become the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being, will there be three palaces and six courtyards in this harem?"
"this… "
Du Yuan'er was dumbfounded when she heard the eldest princess asking such a question. She didn't know how to answer this question at all.
When the eldest princess saw this, she laughed loudly.
…
In the imperial palace, in the Qiantian Palace.
Emperor Yongping heard the eldest princess's reply from his chamberlain. He was a little stunned and didn't quite understand what the eldest princess meant.
"Eunuch Lan, tell me, what does my aunt mean?"
"I don't know!"
Eunuch Lan resolutely followed Emperor Taizu's rules and his servants did not talk about political affairs.
"Eunuch Lan, didn't I ask you to send someone to find Yan Jing back?"
"Why has it taken so long and we still haven't found it?"
"My slave has sent someone!"
Eunuch Lan's expression remained as usual, "It's just that the northern land is vast, and when Academician Yan goes here, I am not like God. I don't know which way he took and which Guancheng he went to!"
Emperor Yongping couldn't do anything about Eunuch Lan's lack of food and salt.
He really wanted to send Eunuch Lan away, but when the eldest princess entered the palace that day, Eunuch Lan's behavior made it difficult for Emperor Yongping to drive Eunuch Lan away. With a master like Eunuch Lan guarding him, Emperor Yongping was still very worried. A sense of security.
It's a pity that Eunuch Lan is too rigid!
…
Yingshui is a river in the central and southern part of the Tang Dynasty.
Here is the ancestral residence of Emperor Taizu, the founder of the Tang Dynasty.
The previous emperor sent all the people in Yingshui to the border because he heard that Yingshui had the spirit of a true dragon. But he never thought that Emperor Taizu would rise step by step in the frontier and eventually become the lord of the world.
At this moment, on a small hill by the Ying River, Uncle Lu, his two daughters, and Prince Yan built a thatched shack on the top of the mountain and have been living there for several days.
"Dad, those people don't even know where the dragon veins are, right?"
Lu Xian'er was a little impatient waiting. Staying in this inaccessible place all day was really torturous given her temperament.
"People from the Luck Path are not so stupid, right?"
Uncle Lu was also quite confused.
According to time, the person they were waiting for should have arrived.
However, let alone human beings, there is not a single human hair on them. (End of chapter)
