In Yangzhou in the early morning, the sun is shining.
Ji Qingwu walked among the ancient roads, but felt that Yangzhou at the moment seemed to be depressed and depressed.
The faces of the walking Jianghu people are all a little more dignified.
"Sir, should I drink wine or eat meat?"
In the slightly empty hotel, the store owner spoke enthusiastically, seeming to have some expectations.
Ji Wuqing sat down at the window facing the street and gently put down the long sword in his hand, with a strange look in his eyes.
His eyes swept across the empty lobby and he said in a low voice: "Store, what's going on? Why are Jiangnan Fengyuechang and Yangzhou Fireworks Land so deserted?"
"Alas, my guest doesn't know something." The shopkeeper sighed helplessly, and his words were a little low: "The Emperor came to Yangzhou City, built the Qionghua Palace here, and even designated the new capital of the Sui Dynasty here. The Emperor is here , today's Yangzhou is where the imperial court is, guarded by nearly 50,000 cavalry, who dares to cause trouble? People in the world want to be pure, free and easy, and almost no one wants to stay here! It's just that it's miserable. We are ordinary people."
Ji Wuqing nodded slightly and said calmly: "Warm a pot of daughter's red. You can take care of the rest."
His eyes fell on the street and he said in confusion: "Shop, what is being built on the street? It's bluestone and white jade, it's so extravagant!"
It looks like a Buddhist temple, but also like a Taoist worship hall to worship the ancestors!
"That one." The store owner approached with a hot wine cup, and the rich and fragrant aroma of wine spread.
He babbled and said: "That was the City Palace Division built under the supervision of [Taiwei] Chen Xiu under the orders of the emperor. It is said that it was to ward off evil spirits and subjugate demons and suppress the national destiny of the Sui Dynasty!
As for the address, it seems that it was chosen by the Grand Master of Si Tianjian, and it seems to be called Chen Wu..."
Suppress the national destiny?
Ji Qingwu's eyes changed slightly, and he said to himself thoughtfully: "Since it is the place calculated by Chen Wu based on the yin and yang disk, it should be related to Chen Xiu's layout..."
At this time, his eyes suddenly froze.
The so-called City Imperial Palace Secretary actually burst into flames for no apparent reason.
He even felt a somewhat inexplicable aura.
That seems to be evil spirit!
"The aura of the demon tribe seems to be interfering with the construction of the City Palace Division?" Ji Wuqing's eyes became more thoughtful.
At this time, there were heavy footsteps, accompanied by chirping sounds.
The extremely silent second floor gradually became lively.
"Who are those?" Ji Qingqing shook the wine cup lightly, looked at the simple men with big shoulders and round muscles, and asked knowingly.
"Those are the craftsmen of the Imperial Palace Department of the Forging City here under the orders of the emperor. If they disturb the distinguished guests, I will ask them to change seats." The shopkeeper said in a rather flattering manner.
This young master seems to be a major customer, so he cannot be neglected.
"Tell them, please put the money for today's drinks on my account." Ji Wuqing weighed it and placed a huge silver coin on the table.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw it, this was at least fifty taels of silver!
Soon, those men knew about this.
The big man at the head was carrying a wine flask, walked up to Ji Qingqing and thanked him: "Thank you, Master, for the gift of wine!
"
"As for me, I'm just very interested in the City Imperial Palace Division you created. So, I thought I'd find a few people to find out." Ji Qingqing smiled lightly, acting quite like a young master from an aristocratic family.
The leader of the big man said honestly: "This is the task of the imperial court. It is said that it was built by His Majesty under the command of King Wucheng, who is currently the king of the country. It is said that it was to suppress the national destiny and appease the heroic spirits of the human race in the past dynasties. This is a big deal. , eternal bluestone, thousand-year-old white jade, rosewood spiritual wood, amber stone and agate stone, they are all valuable treasures!"
He touched his head and said honestly: "It's just that I don't understand why the prince asked for a golden statue that doesn't require eye makeup."
No need to highlight?
Is this following the legend of the Nanliang era?
Ji Wuqing's eyes flickered slightly, with a hint of thinking.
During the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Daliang believed in Buddhism and asked Zhang Sengyao, who was known as "the best painter in the world" at the time, to paint the Buddhist Golden Dragon for the Anle Temple in Jinling City.
At that time, Zhang Sengyao's brush strokes were like rain, and his writing became a dragon, which was astonishing for a while.
But the Buddhist golden dragon painted has no eyes and no eyes.
When Emperor Wu of Daliang asked about the reason, Zhang Sengyao at that time replied: Between heaven and earth, there is the soul of the true dragon that fell in the past. There is a bit of true spirit inside, floating under the sky, never entering the netherworld, reincarnation, or reincarnation. ! If you draw a dragon and add the dots at this moment, you are drawing a dragon to channel spirits, and the dragon soul will naturally enter your body here! The drawn golden dragon will rise into the sky and turn into a celestial dragon!
"Perhaps, this is Chen Xiu's idea..." Ji Qingqing had some speculation in his heart.
At this time, there was a sound of exclamation.
The hurried man ran up to the pavilion and said hurriedly: "Boss, boss, it's bad! There's a fire again!"
"
"Damn it, why is there a fire again? This is the blessed place of Yin Yang and Five Elements chosen by Master Si Tianjian!
Could it be that master..." The man seemed a little angry for a moment.
"Perhaps it's an evil spirit? I'm Bucai, and I'm the mirror master of the imperial court's Xuanjing Division. If you don't mind, I can help you take a look." Ji Wuqing said with a smile.

"So, that's a problem for you, sir. Our brothers are all rough men and can only do some crafts. How can we know this?" The strong man said gratefully.
Ji Qingwu walked into the slightly larger city palace.
He just felt extremely luxurious!
At this moment, there is a richness inside, and the fire is flickering!
He slowly raised his hand, his sword energy was like a tide!
The wind rises, the smoke disappears, and the fire light dims.
The five figures were surrounded by thousands of sword shadows!
They are the yellow-faced cow, which has strong earth element power; the green-faced dog, which contains the green wood element vitality; the red-faced sheep, which seems to turn into a blazing fire; and the black-faced pig, which is gloomy and gloomy. It looks like ice-cold water; the white-faced chicken's feathers look like gold and iron!
The attributes of the five animals correspond to the five elements of the human world!
"Interesting, he is actually a five-way god among the demon clan." Ji Qingwu said with interest.
Although these five-way gods are mountain spirits, they are not monsters, but humanistic holy beasts, and they are shrewd, dexterous, and extremely intelligent.
Similar to the legendary Qingqiu white fox and the book-holding turtle.
In the rivers and lakes, there are often people who practice qi, and they incorporate these five paths into the gods, and use them to build pavilions, palaces, and palaces by moving bricks and stones.
One day's work is comparable to a craftsman's hundred days of hard work.
"Sir, sir, we are good people! We are here to touch the power of the Holy Emperor of Dao. We deliberately wait here and deliberately create flames, hoping that the Holy Emperor will notice. Then, we can return to the Holy Emperor and serve humanity. ." The five spirits bowed their heads.
"In that case, wouldn't it be better to go directly to find the Holy Emperor you call him? Why did you choose to play such a trick?" Ji Wuqing only found it a little funny.
"Here, there is a terrifying monster here! We dare not go out! If we go out, we will be eaten!"
