15. Lin'an Hope(2/2)

The master nodded with satisfaction. He had also been a human being. Naturally, he knew that what this old man thought was simple to convince these lustful people to work hard.

He waved his hand and said in a plain tone:

"Go and do things."—

The capital of the Southern Dynasty, in the city of Lin'an.

The fall of the Central Plains and the war in Caishiji did not seem to have affected the heart area of ​​the Southern Dynasty, and the city is still as prosperous as before.

The streets were crowded and bustling.

Although it is already the cold winter season, this year's celestial phenomena are very strange.

It is said that it snowed in the Central Plains, but there is no coldness in Lin'an Jiangnan. It is obviously November, but the temperature is still as warm as summer, and it is even a little warmer than in late autumn.

With the help of this strange astronomical phenomenon, the business of brothels and flower lanes in the city is very good. It is said that the annual courtesan selection is being held recently.

Romantic figures from all over the world gathered in Lin'an, and there were painting boats everywhere on the West Lake.

The singing and dancing are everywhere you hear the sound of silk and bamboo. If you don’t look at the general trend of the world, the scene in this city really has a charm of peace and prosperity.

However, there are more and more beggars in the city.

This caused great dissatisfaction with the Lin'an Prefecture Order.

A few days ago, I issued a document to learn from the Northern Dynasties, gathered up all the beggars with strong limbs and sent them to serve in the army, which was also considered as finding a living for them.

It is a good deed.

However, some people also say that these beggars are going to be sent to train soldiers.

It is said that the Battle of Jinling and the Southern Kingdom can win, all it depends on the immortal military skills in the hands of King Huainan. Although King Huainan is now dead at the hands of the evildoers, the military skills have been preserved.

The king of Zhao Ming had issued an edict to follow the will of the King of Huainan, train strong troops from all over the world, personally fight on the battlefield, defeat the Northern Dynasties, and regain the country.

In short, the warm wind makes tourists drunk in Lin'an City, which has not been very peaceful recently.

"It's obvious that the world is in chaos, but looking at this city, it seems to be in a prosperous era.

These people, without knowing that the disaster is coming, are still in the mood to listen to the charming courtesans singing. Tsk tsk, it is a sign of the destruction of the country."

On the side of the busiest street in Lin'an, the highest point of a five-story restaurant is in the highest place. She is wearing a Confucian shirt and dressed as a scholar, holding a wine glass and standing at the window.

He still had the smile on his face, half-squinted his eyes, sipped the wine while looking down at this high place, as if he was looking for some traces.

Hearing Hua Qing’s complaints, Liu Zhuoran, who was sitting behind him, nodded with consent.

He held the sword left to him by his father. Although he had a disheveled hair, he had a good skin. When he let him drink, he also had a sense of being free and carefree.

"You have been dragging me around Lin'an for half a month. You said you want to find some traces. Have you found them now?"

Liu Zhuoran took a sip of wine and looked at Hua Qing.

The latter raised his hand and signaled him not to speak for now.

Hua Qing lay beside the window, her eyes following the bustling street and looking out.

At his height, half of Lin'an City can be seen. The most wonderful thing is that from this direction, you can see the Southern Forbidden Palace at the edge of the vision.

The Forbidden Palace in Lin'an was originally just the patriarch of Dachu, so it was naturally not as powerful as Yanjing Imperial City. It caught fire more than 20 years ago and burned most of the palaces.

Today's palace was rebuilt on the ruins.

"It is said that when the Zhao family rebuilt the palace, they were looking for skilled craftsmen of the Mo family, and those Mo family members were really capable."

As soon as the flower greens were thrown, the wine glass in his hand fell steadily on the table.

He leaned against the window and said to Liu Zhuoran:

"When they restored the burned Forbidden Palace, they had tried their best not to destroy the dragon energy in the city. Unfortunately, the fire was too fierce and damaged the dragon shape of the earth's veins.

Over the past twenty years, the dragon energy of Lin'an has been dissipating, and only less than one tenth of them are left today.

No wonder the Southern Dynasty is in turmoil, it is not just because the Zhao family does not practice good deeds."

"This is the technique of looking at the Qi? Brother Hua really knows a lot."

Liu Zhuoran also practiced in the Immortal Sect. From Hua Qing's tone, he learned what he was doing in the past half month.

But he didn't pay attention to this.

He said:

"I haven't learned this, but my master Dong Lingjun is very good at looking at the air. To be honest, I don't believe it much."

"You are all focused on learning swords, I know."

Hua Qing chuckled, he looked back at Lin'an Forbidden Palace and said:

"Actually, I am not very good at it. This saying of looking for the air is not something I learned by myself. But it is also considered the wonder of immortal methods. One of the three thousand great ways has its own reason to be passed on to this day.

In Lin'an City, the dragon energy was almost dissipated. At most, three or four years, the defeat of the Southern Dynasty could no longer be stopped."

He walked back to the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and said to Liu Zhuoran:

"I didn't find anything during this trip to Lin'an.

It really disappoints. In the past half month, we have walked all over the city, which has solved some doubts for me. There is a certain formation in this city, which I discovered last time.

It was originally thought that it was the work of the Penglai people, but now it seems that it should be a formation left by Da Chu in Lin'an's accompanying capital three hundred years ago to gather dragon energy.

It is said that the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom received help from immortals, and this formation is probably left over from the immortals, and it really has nothing to do with Penglai."

"But we can't leave now. I care a lot about the 'national teacher' who suddenly appeared in Lin'an half a month ago."

After drinking the wine, Hua Qing threw a few ingots of silver on the table and left the restaurant with Liu Zhuoran, who was hanging wine gourds. The two walked on the street. He said to Liu Zhuoran, who was wearing a straw hat:

"The formation in the city has nothing to do with Penglai, but the mysterious national master has most of the chance of being a Penglai person."

"Um."

Liu Zhuoran also nodded, and he said:

"These days, the Imperial Guards of the Forbidden Palace have been practicing military force. I went to see it a few days ago. The military skills they practiced do have a bit of the taste of Penglai secret techniques.

The Southern Dynasty ruler respected the master very much, and he also wanted to build a Taoist temple for him to live next to the Forbidden Palace."

"Wait, do you say that Zhao Ming has built a Taoist temple next to the imperial city?"

Hua Qing suddenly stopped, he looked at Liu Zhuoran and said:

"Where is the national master's Taoist temple practicing?"

"Southeast of the Forbidden Palace, five miles away."

Liu Zhuoran turned around and said:

"Is there any problem?"

“It’s a big problem.”

Hua Qing took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and for the past half month of searching, the terrain in the city that she had recorded in her heart appeared in her mind.

Finally, I clicked the last stroke at five miles southeast of the Forbidden Palace.

"The life gate is reversed, the death gate is changed. The finishing touch is added to the dragon, the earth energy is reversed, and the remaining ancient formation is turned by the method of "borrowing the corpse and returning to the soul", which not only stimulates the dragon energy.

It is still gathering the energy of living beings. This is not a Taoist temple, it is a modification of the ancient formation!"

Hua Qing clasped her fingers tightly and said in a deep voice:

"Where is the highest point in the city? I need to look at the overall situation."

"There!"

Liu Zhuoran pointed to the northwest and said:

"Nirvana Temple, Nirvana Pagoda, is only ten inches lower than the Forbidden Palace Hall."

"Walk!"

Hua Qing did not hesitate and pulled Liu Zhuoran to Nirvana Temple.

But when they arrived at Nirvana Temple, the thousand-year-old temple was closed, and the Southern Dynasty Hu Benwei blocked the temple and did not allow others to enter and exit.

Because there is a distinguished guest coming to the door.
