Chapter 439: Number One’s Initiative

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Number One's Initiative

Zhong Li tilted his head, thought for a few seconds, and said: "The ground vein is like the meridian of the human body. The trend of mountains, rivers and streams is affected by the ground vein."

After a pause, he continued: "The ground vein is a general term, divided into twelve types, which correspond to the twelve meridians of the human body. It is very important in Feng Shui. The land with ground veins is the Feng Shui treasure land. Building houses and choosing cemeteries pay special attention to the ground veins......"

Xu Qiyan's scalp tingled when he heard it, and he simplified it and replied in the Earth Book chat group: [The ground vein is equivalent to the meridian of the human body, corresponding to the twelve meridians. ]

End.

The Tiandihui people waited for a long time, but did not see the follow-up, and fell silent for a while, which was equivalent to saying nothing.

However, Xu Qiyan remembered a small thing. When he bought a new house and took Chu Caiwei to see Feng Shui, there was a female ghost in the well of Xu Mansion, and ghosts could not live independently in the world of the living.

At that time, Chu Caiwei went down to the well to check and found a Yin vein at the bottom of the well.

Yin veins are also a kind of ground veins.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an asked again: "Senior Sister Zhong, are there ground veins in the imperial city?"

Zhong Li said softly: "Of course there are ground veins in the imperial city, and its name is dragon veins."

Without waiting for Xu Qi'an to ask, she explained intimately:

"Dragon veins are the extension of luck. Six hundred years ago, Dafeng built its capital here. The ground veins of the capital were nourished by purple qi, blessed by the luck of a country, and blessed by the wishes of the people. Over time, they transformed into dragon veins."

Dragon veins are a type of ground veins, but dragon veins are also called It is an extension of destiny...Xu Qiyan pondered, "What is the use of dragon veins?"

Zhong Li pondered, "Just like if the feng shui of the ancestral tomb is destroyed, it will affect future generations. The effect of dragon veins is similar to that of the national sword, suppressing the destiny of a country. In the last years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qian Zhong, a great scholar from Yunlu Academy, brought people's grievances into the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and broke up the last national destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the cost of his death. What he hit was the dragon vein.

"There is a saying among us sorcerers, whoever gets the dragon vein gets the world."

I don't understand it very well, but it seems very powerful...Xu Qiyan sent a letter: [There is a dragon vein in the imperial city.]

Then he asked Zhong Li: "Can you control the dragon vein?"

Zhong Li was stunned for a long time, and said weakly: "The dragon vein suppresses the destiny of a country. Even the supervisor teacher dare not touch it easily. "

Xu Qiyan immediately relayed the characteristics of the dragon vein to everyone in the Tiandihui.

Chu Yuanzhen analyzed: [If even the Supervisor dare not easily touch the dragon vein, then it is even more impossible for the Huai Wang spy to use the dragon vein to escape underground. Is my idea wrong?]

The speculation was in a stalemate, and even Xu Qiyan had no clue for the time being.

Just then, No. 1 suddenly said: [I will investigate Hengyuan's affairs, leave it to me, and none of you need to worry about it.]

Hey, No. 1 is so proactive, which is not in line with his (her) personality... Xu Qiyan was surprised.

Among the holders of the Earth Book fragments, No. 1 is the most low-key and the most mysterious. There are reasons why No. 7 and No. 8 cannot show up, but No. 1 rarely shows up, occasionally participates in discussions, but stops at a certain point.

Never date with the holders of the Earth Book fragments offline.

Not only him , the members of Tiandihui were surprised. Such initiative and positivity were not in line with the usual style of No. 1.

[One: In Tiandihui, except me, no one can freely enter and leave the imperial city. I can even find a way to enter the palace. Whether it is Hengyuan or the tunnel, I have more advantages than you and it is safer.

[Of course, if I need help, I will ask you for help. I hope you will not refuse. ]

This reason is reasonable and easy to convince everyone, and let Xu Qi'an and others breathe a sigh of relief.

Indeed, the current imperial city and palace are forbidden areas for them. Even if Xu Qi'an can sneak into the imperial city quietly, he can only accompany Huaiqing and Lin'an, and lacks the conditions to act alone.

It is a good opportunity to test No. 1's ability and his identity... Chu Yuanzhen thought.

No. 1 can freely enter and leave the imperial city, and even find an opportunity to enter the palace, which shows that his status is very high. One of the nobles? A royal family or a noble? Li Miaozhen secretly guessed.

Huh, someone finally took over Master Hengyuan's affairs, then I feel relieved, sleep, sleep... Lina thought happily.

........

In the next two days, the court and the Yaoman envoys negotiated several times, but there was no result, and the two sides did not reach an agreement for the time being.

Xu Qian'an stayed away from the temple and did not care about this matter. He went to the widow's courtyard to hide in peace these two days. The reason is that after the literary meeting, various scholars kept sending invitations to Xu's house.

Some wanted to visit him, some wanted to invite him to drink, and some wanted to marry their daughters or sisters to him, and also attached the birth date.

During the Buddhist battle, Xu Although Qi'an's reputation spread far and wide, scholars still had a layer of prejudice against him and did not completely regard him as "one of their own".

After the Chuzhou Massacre, Zhao Shou publicly announced in the court that Xu Qi'an was his disciple, and Xu Qi'an officially became "one of their own" in the eyes of scholars, but Emperor Yuan Jing was angry at that time, and no one dared to get close to Xu Qi'an.

After the literary gathering incident, Xu Qi'an became a hot commodity.

These are all minor problems. What really made him unable to stay at home were several great scholars in Yunlu Academy.

The day before yesterday, the wind was very noisy, and Xu Qi'an's eyelids were twitching.

Dean Zhao Shou came, wearing a Confucian shirt that had been washed and bleached, with messy hair and a cynical look.

Xu Qi'an respectfully led his nominal teacher into the hall and served him good tea. After chatting, Zhao Shou asked: "Ning Yan is good at military tactics. Does that military book have other handwritten copies? "

Zhao Shou came to read books, and by the way, he wanted to include the military books in the library of the academy.

There is no handwritten copy, but recently I can't help but want to masturbate... Xu Qian'an, who has not been close to women for four months, regretfully rejected Zhao Shou.

Just at this time, the great scholars Zhang Shen, Li Mubai, and Chen Tai came to visit together.

Seeing Dean Zhao Shou, the three great scholars looked disdainful.

Zhang Shen: "Poetry thief!"

Chen Tai: "Thief thief!"

Li Mubai: "Shameless old thief!"

The three said in unison: "Bah!"

Then Dean Zhao Shou was furious, and he said what he meant, and waved his sleeves: "Retreat a hundred miles."

The three great scholars waved their sleeves: "No retreat!"

"Retreat a hundred miles."

"No retreat."

"Retreat a hundred miles."

"No retreat." "

During this unique magic battle, Xu Qian'an slipped out of the Xu Mansion. Before leaving, he looked back and saw the potted plants that his aunt had placed in the hall smashed to the ground.

Seeing Xu Lingyin join the battlefield, he stood aside: "tuituitui..."

Li Miaozhen risked her life to rescue this stupid girl, otherwise she would have been sent away a hundred miles away.

The princess's life was particularly comfortable, not physically, but spiritually.

Free and easy, with no shortage of food, clothing, housing and transportation, Xu Qian'an often accompanies her to go shopping, eat snacks, watch operas, etc.

The nine-color lotus root is growing very well, it has begun to sprout, and has grown a section. Xu Qian'an hopes that it can become bigger than the one of Taoist Jinlian.

That evening, after Xu Qian'an changed his clothes in the brothel, he rode his beloved mare back to the Xu Mansion.

At dinner, the aunt said: "I asked Lingyue to invite Miss Wang to visit the mansion the day after tomorrow. The men in the family should remember to avoid it. In addition, the proper etiquette should also be observed.

"I'm talking about you, Xu Lingyin, you are the most rude."

Xu Lingyin, who was not at all elegant when eating, raised her head and said puzzledly: "Then when Master and Sister Miaozhen came to visit the mansion, I was also like this, why didn't mother say that I was rude?"

"How can it be the same? That is your second brother's wife who has not yet married." Aunt said.

"What is a daughter-in-law?" Xu Lingyin asked.

The second uncle said: "Your mother is your father's daughter-in-law, do you understand?"

Xu Lingyin was shocked and said: "She wants to be my mother?"

Everyone lowered their heads to eat and gave up the idea of ??explaining the noun "daughter-in-law" to the little kid. In fact, it is indeed complicated to explain. Although daughter-in-law is a noun, when a man marries a daughter-in-law, he is eager to turn it into a verb.

The meaning is too profound and not something a six-year-old child can understand.

"Anyway, as long as you behave yourself and don't make trouble, I will take you to Fumanlou to eat monkey brains in the future." Aunt said.

Monkey brains are Fumanlou's signature dish.

"I want to eat monkey naizi." Xu Lingyin's attention was indeed diverted.

"Brain."

"Naizi."

"....."

Aunt kept a straight face and didn't speak.

"Ahem!" Xu Erlang coughed, breaking the tense atmosphere, and looked at Xu Qi'an: "Brother, I have memorized another part recently. Come to my study after dinner."

Xu Qi'an was delighted and nodded slowly: "Okay."

I hope there will be some clues in the late emperor's daily records, otherwise, I really don't know how to investigate, maybe I can only give up......

After dinner, the two brothers entered the study, lit candles, sat at the desk, and Xu Erlang recited while Xu Qi'an listened.

The late emperor was an ordinary emperor, who ascended to heaven without any merit or demerit. He is also quite gentle, somewhat obsessed with women, and somewhat lazy in government affairs. It is precisely because of this that two prime ministers have successively held power.

Now that I think about it, Emperor Yuan Jing is very powerful and good at checks and balances, most likely because he has learned the lessons of the previous emperor.

The boring listening continued, and time passed by minute by minute. Suddenly, a conversation refreshed the sleepy Xu Qian'an.

The previous emperor: The Taoist master has profound cultivation and is a god-like figure. Can you know the art of transforming one breath into three pure ones?

The head of the human sect: When it comes to the art of transforming one breath into three pure ones, the earth sect is the best among the three sects.

The previous emperor: I heard that the earth sect cultivates merits and walks in the mortal world, like a dragon that can only be seen from the head but not the tail. I wonder if the master can introduce him?

The head of the human sect: Yes!

"The late emperor was very curious about the Three Pure Ones... Well, the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect during the late emperor's time should be the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect who was possessed by the devil..."

Xu Qian'an was thinking about it, and suddenly his body trembled, and his expression froze.

In the Chuzhou massacre, the incarnation of the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect was involved. Emperor Yuan Jing and the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect were in collusion. I have never been able to figure out how Yuan Jing was in contact with the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect.

It turns out that the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect had been to the capital before... He must have had contact with the late emperor and Emperor Yuan Jing when he was a prince...

Sure enough, it was correct to look up the daily records of the late emperor's time. There was nothing wrong with these details, and they were even trivial matters. But it was precisely because of these insignificant traces that a series of causal relationships were linked.

Xu Qian'an perked up and listened carefully. What disappointed him was that there was no information about the meeting between the late emperor and the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect in the daily records.

Either it was erased or it was not in the palace, so the attendant did not follow the emperor.

The candle gradually burned out, and Xu Erlang exhaled: "I haven't had time to see the rest."

Xu Qian'an immediately left the study and returned to his room.

......

Early morning.

Wang Simu sat in front of the dressing table. With the help of the maid, she combed the most popular bun, drew eyebrows, applied lipstick, and covered her face with a light layer of pearl powder, and then applied a little blush.

There was a little bit of heavy makeup, delicate, not coquettish.

She put on a lotus-colored palace skirt, which was dignified and elegant. The expensive fabrics and complicated styles added a bit of nobility.

This outfit was carefully considered.

As everyone knows, the mistress of the Xu family is a woman with unfathomable thoughts and extremely superb means. She is her number one enemy in the future.

Therefore, if she relied on her status as the daughter of the prime minister to make a big show of herself, she would be easily caught by the other party, who would retreat to advance and accuse her of lacking family education.

Therefore, she should be low-key and restrained, and take the path of moderation.

"I'm really looking forward to it..."

She is the daughter of the Wang family. When she was young, she saw her mother and the favored concubine fighting openly and secretly, and she also saw those ignorant concubines trying to compete with her and snatch her position as the daughter of the first wife.

But when she was a girl, these shady characters all became a thing of the past.

Miss Wang's status in the palace is like Dugu Qiubai, sitting on the top of the mountain, just playing the piano lonely.

There is no rival at home, so she "plays" with the daughters of rich families outside, and has defeated the daughters of nobles and suppressed the princesses of the royal family. Among the wives of high-ranking officials in the capital, the only person who can make Miss Wang feel inferior and fear from the bottom of her heart is the eldest daughter of the emperor, Huaiqing.

But later, she found out that the small Xu Mansion hid a woman who should not be underestimated, and this woman might be her future mother-in-law.

The day before yesterday, after receiving the invitation from the eldest lady of the Xu family, Wang Simu knew that the mistress of the Xu family was going to meet her formally.

This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.

The good thing is that the mistress of the Xu family finally recognized her and thought she was a satisfactory daughter-in-law.

The bad thing is that this invitation is probably full of murderous intentions and every step is thrilling. If she doesn't handle it well and falls at a disadvantage, she may be suppressed in the future.

But that's why it's interesting.

Miss Wang is a combative woman. She has a lot of intelligence and talents in her head but can't display them. If the future mother-in-law is a mediocre person, it would be too boring.

Miss Xu, who looks weak but is actually scheming.

Xu Erlang, who is talented and eloquent.

And Xu Dalang, who made all the nobles and officials in the court fearful and made His Majesty hate him.

Being able to teach such a young man, the mistress of the Xu family is really an opponent that makes people tremble.

"But it is precisely because of this that it is worth looking forward to."

Wang Simu brought her maids and followers into the carriage with a heroic spirit, like a female general leading thousands of troops to fight.

......

Xu Qi'an sat in the hall, eating braised pork elbow, and Lina and Xu Lingyin came to eat.

Aunt was ordering the servants to sweep the courtyard and remove the cobwebs...

"Clean up, she is the daughter of the Prime Minister, she is of noble status, we can't lose etiquette, we can't let others look down on us. Xu Ningyan, Xu Lingyin!!"

Aunt turned her head and found that her nephew and daughter were secretly eating the food she bought in the restaurant, and she was furious:

"Are you two going to piss me off to death, Xu Ningyan, you are so lazy all day long, and you still don't have a girl you like, are you jealous that Erlang got ahead of you?"

Aunt, you misunderstood, I will take you to my fish pond to row a boat some other day, it is full of ferocious sharks and crocodiles...

Aunt drove her nephew and daughter out of the hall and continued to lead people to work.

In order to leave a good impression on the daughter of the Wang family and to establish a peaceful relationship, Aunt took great pains.
