"Guanghan County, Jingling Terrace?"
Bailishu stared at a note on the yellowed page. The owner of the note seemed to have just randomly written a few sentences in scribbled words: Where the land veins meet, where the clouds, air and waters meet, there is a Wolong , can fly with the wind.
Below the line is the river distribution map of Guanghan County. The Huang River traverses from the northwest to the southeast, divided into two branches on the left, two on the right, and three to five branches. It emerges from the high mountains in the middle, passes through the Xiangtan Valley in the middle, and converges into a lake. From the point of view of location, the tower built instead of Qingming Tower in the middle of Guanghan County City should be located here.
He Zhou nodded.
"Originally, a Qingming Pagoda was to be built here, but at that time, the spiritual veins were unstable and could not support the operation of the Qingming Pagoda. Therefore, Guanling proposed to build a new pagoda with reference to the stars in the sky and the water potential of the various places to accommodate the flying boats. Provide orientation. It is also the prototype of the later Qingming Pagoda Goulian."
Qingming Pagoda, this kind of formation operation center created by people after the end of the Ten Thousand Immortals Era, following the power of ancient immortals and imitating the operation of ancient methods. For many years after the Qingming Pagoda was built, the connection between the Qingming Pagodas in various places was maintained by the power of the towers, so there was a strong instability.
On the one hand, this instability exists in the formation itself, and on the other hand, it also comes from the power of tower defense.
Before the Qingming Tower was united into one, tower guards often interfered with the operation of the Qingming Tower due to personal grievances. The most serious one was when Taishangzong and Yushouzong had frictions, the power of Taishangzong guarding the Qingming Pagoda disrupted the operation of the formation, making it contrary to the cycle of stars, so that the flying boat of Yushouzong Get lost and stray into forbidden places.
After discovering this, the Emperor Beast Sect responded with an eye for an eye, and the two sides tried their best to interfere with the operation of the Qingming Pagoda.
During that time, the airships in the Twelve Dynasties were more or less affected.
Seeing that the situation was about to develop in an unstoppable direction, the other sects who were originally on the shore had to intervene in this matter. After lengthy negotiations, a series of contracts were finally signed to stop the further deterioration of the matter. After that, people from various sects and many formation masters are actively looking for a solution to the problem.
I didn't expect that the person who proposed a feasible solution in the end was not the great power of the sect, nor the master of formation with profound cultivation, but a secular craftsman who had no real energy and did not know how to practice.
People from Jintang, Guanling.
"Jingling Terrace was originally the first new Qingming Pagoda built according to Guanling's idea. But for some unknown reason, this attempt failed." He Zhou recounted while recalling that Bailishu saw it right. He is not a person who is very concerned about such miscellaneous trivial matters, and what he is talking about now is only understood after Bailishu has accepted the task.
However, He Zhou didn't know that Baili Shu actually knew these trivial past events better than he did.
When Guan Ling proposed to build a new Qingming Pagoda, there were actually very few people who supported him. Most of the people in the world of cultivating immortals dismissed his statement that the combination of celestial constellations and water potentials and terrestrial veins was proposed. The fact that his idea can be tried is actually due to the support of two people.
One was the Emperor of Jin Tang at that time, and the other was the head of Jiuxuanmen at that time.
The former's attempt to support Guanling is understandable, but it's a bit surprising that the head of Jiuxuan would believe in a mortal. Bailishu read several notes left by predecessors in Zangshu Pavilion, and knew some reasons.
Guanling's ancestral home is Fengzhou. After presiding over the construction of the Jintang Royal Garden, he was appreciated by the then Jintang Emperor Gaozong, and he was specially allowed to return to his hometown in fine clothes. When Guanling Yijin returned to his hometown, it was the time when the head of Jiuxuan found out "right and wrong" and wandered in the world. It was also at this time that the two met by chance and finally became confidants.
Later, after Guanling put forward the idea, the head of Jiuxuan was also the first to support his idea, and sent hundreds of inner sect disciples from Xuanyuan and Xuanxiao peaks to help.
After Guanghan County's attempt failed, it was precisely because of the support of the head of Jiuxuan that Guanling's attempt was able to continue.
After the head of Jiuxuan flew away, Guan Ling sighed that "there is no confidant in this world" and his whereabouts were unknown, without any trace.
Many trivial things flashed through his mind, but Baili Shu's expression remained calm. He looked at He Zhou quietly, waiting for what he had to say next.
He Zhou originally wanted to make a habitual sarcasm, but Senior Brother Jiuxuan would definitely disdain to know these trivial things. The always aloof young man watched him quietly, his face was still expressionless, and his shadow could be clearly reflected in a pair of deep black eyes.
The sarcasm suddenly got stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.
He Zhou looked away, his tone was not very good, and he said bluntly: "So, from the very beginning, Jingling Terrace was not a damned worldly Penglai, and it was almost the same as Burying Soul Terrace. It was the first time that the combination of Zhou Tianxing and water potential and terrestrial veins failed. It affected the movement of spiritual energy in that place, and since then, no one in Guanghan County has been able to break through to the Void Return Realm."
The implication is that what Shen Changge said about Jingling Terrace becoming a forbidden place for living people because of someone possessed by demons is simply a superficial cover.
Apparently, He Zhou suddenly came to say such a long paragraph to tell him the important news about retrieving the "Three Profound Emperors Picture". Undoubtedly, the things that Hezhou said were all secret inside stories that were deliberately concealed. If he hadn't used his identity as the senior brother of Jiuxuan to enter the main pavilion of Jiuxuan Cangshu Pavilion, Bailishu might not have known about it.
He Zhou said that although Bailishu already knew about it, the album he brought was exactly what Bailishu needed.
"Thank you."
Baili Shu closed the scroll, nodded slightly, and said softly.
He Zhou snorted coldly and stood up: "You saved me once, it's even."
Seeing the figure of He Zhou striding away, Baili Shu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the untouched tea on the opposite side, and pressed his fingers on the table thoughtfully.
It is said to be "even".
but…
This kind of ancient atlas involving secrets can't be found immediately after encountering a misty bird of prey, right
Baili Shu put away the yellowed album and straightened up. When he stood up, he coughed a few times in a low voice, and there was an abnormal bright red on his lips. He Zhou didn't realize that Baili Shu, who was sitting upright with his expression unchanged, had actually been forcibly suppressing his injury.
He wiped away the blood that he was suppressing but didn't cough up, and a faint, almost non-existent smile crossed his bloodless lips.
———————————
During the battle with the fog bird, the flying boat itself suffered some damage, so it had to change its plan and stop at Yanmen County, the nearest Bingzhou county, and ask the refiner to repair the blue feather light boat before moving on.
Yanmen County has been transformed into a county in terms of level, but in terms of scale, it is actually similar to a slightly larger county. The reason why it can be designated as a county is because it guards a narrow area. There is no place within the county where the flying boats are allowed to park, so most of the flying boats coming and going land in the wilderness some distance away from Yanmen County.
The southeast gate of the city wall.
Some distance away from Guo Qiang, Bailishu lowered the Qingyu Guangzhou.
The light boat landed, and Jiuxuan disciples came out one by one. During this period of time, the core disciples who were recuperating in their respective rooms also disembarked.
Shen Changge's wound cut by the wind blade has healed. He is wearing a sky blue robe with cloud patterns on the cuffs, and he still looks like a handsome young man. Li Xin, who had lost her two knives, became more and more gloomy, and stepped off the flying boat with a gloomy expression. Qin Jiu still had that slovenly look, and Chu Zhiyuan followed behind him, holding his sword and frowning.
Jun Wanbai changed into a good navy blue robe and strode up to the disciples of Xuanshuang Peak with Zhang Ying's vigorous face. Following him down was He Zhou with a cold face as if he might draw a knife to cut someone at any time.
Except for their poor complexions, the core disciples looked similar to usual.
Baili Shu was still the last one to come down, wearing a white cloak bordered by silver threads, and his thin figure was covered under the cloak. With a glance, he put away the blue feather light boat.
"Let's go."
Baili Shu went straight to Guomen, which was lower than the city gate. The side of the white cloak is curled up, like snow falling in winter.
The group of people didn't talk much, and followed Bailishu's pace. Qin Jiu unhurriedly fell behind the team. With one hand resting on the back of his head, he was shaking the flagon that never left his body with the other. Through the crowd, Qin Jiu looked at Bailishu who was walking in the front, and suddenly remembered the side that was on the top of the mountain.
At that time, Baili Shu was standing in the snow that was all over the sky, just like this time, wearing the same big cloak like a mortal who is afraid of the cold.
When passing through the field of Guoguo, Bailishu and the others happened to see a Lingxing temple, and the old farmers in brown clothes worshiped devoutly.
"The spirit star blesses me, and I will have a good harvest every year.
The spirit star blesses me, and I will be healthy every year. "
The so-called Lingxing is the prefect who once loved the people and farmed the land in the northern part of Chen State. Later, when the Zhizhou died of illness, the people of Bingzhou built a shrine for him. Over time, it was said that he was the spirit star god who protected agriculture. The hoarse chanting echoed over and over again, and the dark-skinned old men knelt down and kowtowed heavily, chanting and kowtowing again and again.
Most of the disciples of Jiuxuan who saw this scene sneered indifferently.
Shen Changge stopped slightly, and took a closer look at the small temple.
When Junior Brother Qianmai asked him if there was anything unusual, Shen Changge smiled slightly, waved his fan, and said indifferently: "Without him, I just think that an ordinary secular official can be regarded as a god?"
"The chief of the Jiuxuan Qianmai is indeed as arrogant as ever."
Before the disciple of Jiuxuan could speak, a brisk voice sounded, seeming to be far away.
"However, Chief Shen doesn't know anything about this Lingxing Temple."
Hearing this voice, Shen Changge's face turned slightly cold, and he raised his eyes to look in the direction of the voice.
I saw a person who appeared not far from them at some unknown time.
