One month later.
Bingzhou, Wenshui County.
On a winding mountain river, two figures, one large and one small, were trudging.
The older one still wore straw sandals, but the younger one didn't even wear shoes at all. He just stepped on the rocks and soil, and the soles of his feet were cracked and calloused.
"Master, what are we going to do here?"
Li Chengqian couldn't help but said, under the scorching sun,
"My child is so exhausted... In the past month, I haven't been able to eat well or sleep well."
"It's so hard..."
Xu Fenglei beside him couldn't help but grinned when he heard this.
"Hard work? Isn't this how ordinary people live?"
He smiled and said,
"Do you think everyone can ride in a sedan when going out? We have a horse to ride on, so that's good!"
"And...where are we now? After you finish your work here and arrive at the grassland of your dreams, you will know how bad the environment in this world is!"
Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
"Hearing what you said, my child doesn't want to go..."
He said sarcastically,
"It was so hard in the Tang Dynasty, but it must be even harder on the grassland."
Xu Fenglei frowned.
"Don't give up. I finally applied to your father, the Queen, and the Queen to take you out."
He taught,
"Follow me honestly, you have to bear it even if you can't bear it!"
"Also, this month's hard work is worth it. Look at the soles of your feet. Are they much better than before? No recurrence of herpes?"
Li Chengqian lowered his head and glanced at his feet, feeling like crying but without tears.
The disease on my feet no longer recurs.
But his originally delicate feet were now weathered and worn thousands of times, and the calluses were as thick as fingernails!
Just looking at the feet, someone would definitely believe it if they said they were from an old farmer!
"Okay, we're almost there."
Xu Fenglei pointed to the big tree in front and said,
"Go to the front and rest for a while, drink some water and eat some solid food."
"Hey." Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief and hurried towards the big camphor tree.
The water bladder and naan cakes on his body were all taken out at this moment.
In this 'harsh' environment, his favorite mung bean cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes could not be brought with him, and they would go bad in a few days!
I can only eat dry food, crunchy dry food.
Fortunately, he had been eating it for a month, and Li Chengqian had adapted to it, so he took out the naan and started to eat it.
Xu Fenglei leaned against the camphor tree, took a sip of water, and looked at the mountains ahead.
There are mountains and gorges here, winding and rugged. Several dragon ridges go deeper and become narrower and narrower. You can see that there are dragon veins!
Dragon Veins!
In addition to Jiutiao Mountain, which Li Er designated as Zhaoling, this was the second dragon vein he had seen with his own eyes!
You must take a good look!
Just as he was thinking about it, a man in single clothes came down the mountain carrying two bundles of firewood.
"friend."
Xu Fenglei shouted hurriedly,
"Come on, come on, take a break and drink some water!"
"I want to ask you something."
When the man saw someone under the tree, he was a little wary at first. It wasn't until he saw clearly that it was a young man with a young man that he relaxed.
"I thought I met someone who cut the path..."
The man muttered, looked at the water bag in Xu Fenglei's hand, and swallowed subconsciously.
The weather was hot and he was indeed thirsty.
boom!
Two bundles of firewood were placed on the ground. The man took Xu Fenglei's water bag and drank several gulps before burping happily!
"Huhu - comfortable!"
The man wiped his mouth and smiled,
"Brother, you look like he's not from here."
"You... what are you doing here in the mountains?"
Xu Fenglei responded casually:
"I came here for mountain climbing and sightseeing. When I saw this mountain from a distance, I felt it had a spiritual energy, so I came to explore it."
"Brother...what is the name of this mountain?"
The man suddenly realized.
"So I'm here for a trip. I really envy you. You don't have to worry about your livelihood."
He scratched his head and pointed to the mountain peak ahead,
"This one, this one is called Guanye Mountain here. It is said that the back mountain range goes around and around, like there are five checkpoints, but the mountain peaks are towering into the clouds. It feels like the master has passed five levels and killed six generals! Therefore, it is called Guanyeshan."
"Let me tell you, many people are buried here on Guanye Mountain, and their descendants have become prosperous! Especially Samurai Yu! Do you know Samurai Yu? We are a big celebrity in Wenshui!"
Xu Fenglei nodded repeatedly.
"You know, you know, the founding hero of our Tang Dynasty! The Grand Duke!"
He gave a thumbs up and said curiously,
"His ancestral grave is also on Guanye Mountain?"
The man nodded firmly.
"Yep."
He said,
"We Wenshui people all know that the Wu family tomb is on Guanye Mountain! The old Wu family relied on the feng shui of this ancestral tomb to make a fortune!"
Xu Fenglei smiled.
"That's not such an exaggeration."
He responded,
“The feng shui of ancestral graves is certainly important, but it mainly depends on your own efforts.”
"If you don't work hard yourself, the ancestors can only be anxious. No matter how hard you try to help, it will be useless."
The man laughed.
"You're a very serious person, so let's just talk about it for fun..."
Xu Fenglei also laughed.
"Okay, Tu Yile, let's just have a casual chat."
He said,
"Brother, do you know where the Wu family tomb is? I want to go up and pay my respects."
"In the future, we will also find a similar grave for ourselves, lie down in it, and wait for our descendants to prosper."
The man nodded.
"It's right up there, but not the highest place."
He responded,
"You don't need me to take you there, you can see which tomb is the most magnificent, and that is the Wu family tomb."
"Master Wu specially sent someone to repair it. It can't be wrong."
Xu Fenglei suddenly realized.
"Thank you brother."
He took out naan bread from the package and said,
"I have some bread here, do you want to eat it?"
The man was a little moved, but finally shook his head.
"No, no, it's hard to get food from people when you go out. Just drink water and that's it."
He picked up the firewood again and said,
"Thanks brother, let's go!"
After that, he carried the firewood and walked away.
"Master, I think he actually wants to eat."
Li Chengqian said doubtfully,
"Why refuse?"
Xu Fenglei touched his head.
“That’s the experience of being away from home.”
He said,
"The food and drink that others give you is not necessarily safe. It is very likely that it contains sweat medicine. If you eat or drink it, it will be poured out immediately. You don't know how you died!"
"Don't look at that guy as naive, he's actually very smart! He drank this water just to see me drink it."
"You also have to remember, unless you're starving to death of thirst, don't ask for food from others, you know?"
Li Chengqian nodded quickly.
"Kid, remember this!"
He cupped his hands and responded.
"Um."
Xu Fenglei held Li Chengqian's shoulders and said,
"It's getting late, we have to speed up the progress, we have to go down the mountain later!"
"Go, go, run forward!"
Li Chengqian: "!!!"
…
After a while.
Xu Fenglei looked at the magnificent ancestral graves of the Wu family and fell into deep thought.
"Master, do you want to worship?"
Li Chengqian asked stupidly,
"But we didn't bring incense and candles..."
Xu Fenglei: "..."
I worship your head!
We are here to do bad things this time, not to offer incense to others!
"It is indeed a good bright hall. The real dragon has its burrow here."
Xu Fenglei looked around and sighed,
"The mountains wind down and go straight into the gorge. The pattern of Changhong's drinking water can continuously nourish the dragon's cave here. In the end - after passing five levels and killing six generals, the flying dragon will rise in the sky!"
Isn’t this what Wu Zetian was like in history?
At first she was just a little martial artist and Li Er's little wife.
She rose up in the palace step by step, and went through countless hardships. She defeated the concubines, the queen, Changsun Wuji... and finally, her own son!
Successfully ascended the throne!
Just like this dragon vein, exactly the same!
"pity--"
Xu Fenglei looked at the mountain peaks ahead and sighed,
"The mountain guard is cut off, the first river is turned away, and the second river is turned away. This is a sign of alienation. In the end, everyone will betray their relatives."
"This also corresponds to the Shenlong coup."
One drink and one peck, it is destiny.
Wu Zetian was able to ascend the throne and become the emperor, but no one's hearts turned to her. All the officials turned to Li Tang and turned their backs on her.
In the end, Long Teng Jiuxiao will not last long, and he must return power to Li Tang.
She can die a good death, but the Wu family will be driven out and killed.
"This pattern, I define it as the pattern of the spiritual python transforming into a dragon and swallowing the sky."
Xu Fenglei pointed at the Wu family's ancestral grave and said seriously,
"The spiritual python swallows the sky. Although it can cover you for a while, it will not last long."
"Now I will break your Wu family's imperial bloodline, cut off the water source of that spiritual python, and dispel its ambition to transform into a dragon and swallow the sky."
"In this way, although your Wu family will not have another emperor, it can ensure the prosperity of the family and avoid the disaster of annihilation!"
Uh-huh!
As he spoke, he took out three incense sticks from his arms, lit them with fire sticks, and inserted them in front of the Wu family's grave.
"Wow! Master, you really brought incense and candles!"
Li Chengqian said in surprise,
"Do you want to worship the child?"
Xu Fenglei shook his head.
"No, they can't bear your bow."
He said lightly,
"When the incense burns out, my master will give you a task."
Li Chengqian seemed to understand but nodded obediently.
After a while.
The three incense sticks were burned out together, no difference in length.
Xu Fenglei nodded slightly. From a metaphysical point of view, this meant that everything was safe and sound, and the ancestors of the Wu family wanted this to be the case.
But at this moment, a strong gust of wind suddenly came out and blew the three incense sticks around!
"snort!"
Xu Fenglei said silently in a cold voice,
"I know you have the ambition to swallow the sky, but I am here for the Li royal family today, so I cannot let you achieve your wish."
"Be a spiritual python honestly and protect the martial arts well. Don't think about absorbing water and transforming into a dragon!"
He paused for a moment and said to Li Chengqian:
"Chengqian!"
"Yes!" Li Chengqian responded decisively.
"Follow me, master."
Xu Fenglei took Li Chengqian's arm and walked towards the winding ridge of the mountains ahead.
Walking to the middle section, he rode on the ridge, took out the ax he carried casually, and chopped it down with one strike!
boom!
Mud is flying!
Bang bang bang!
The soil here was still very hard. Xu Fenglei gritted his teeth and kept cutting. It took him a long time to cut a gap.
"Come Chengqian, let's dig together!"
Xu Fenglei ordered,
"Cut these two sides as far apart as possible!"
Li Chengqian was ordered to dig and dig with his master.
The two dug from noon until the sun set in the west, and finally dug out a broken path that was nearly one person long.
"Go and carry stones to the gorge. Just pick the ugly ones with edges and corners."
Xu Fenglei clapped his hands and ordered again,
"Fill this place with rocks and pee on it, and that's it."
"Yes!" Li Chengqian ran down barefoot and picked up stones on both sides of the canyon.
The cold water washed over his feet, making him feel extremely comfortable.
Xu Fenglei looked at Li Chengqian's busy appearance, put his hands behind his back and said softly:
"In this way, the pattern of Changhong's water-absorbing momentum is broken. If I let Prince Li Tang suppress you again, no matter how capable you are, you will only be a spiritual python. It will be difficult for you to transform into a dragon, let alone swallow the sky. "
"Don't blame me, I'm just here for Datang."
Whoops!
Hoo ho ho!
The wind in the mountains was a bit stronger, passing through the canyon and reaching Xu Fenglei's ears. It was a bit harsh, as if a person was wailing unwillingly in his ears.
But Xu Fenglei remained unmoved and allowed the wind to blow.
Wow!
Wow!
Several handfuls of rocks were piled on the broken ridge, which was quite ugly.
Li Chengqian unbuttoned his belt, followed Xu Fenglei's instructions, and swam on it!
Hoo ho ho!
"Hiss! It's so cold!"
Li Chengqian trembled violently, his whole body twitching twice, and several drops of urine flew away!
The entire sky suddenly darkened at this moment!
The wind in the mountains is howling!
"Okay, okay, it's not a good time to stay here!"
Xu Fenglei hurriedly took Li Chengqian's arm and said,
"Let's go!"
After that, he pulled Li Chengqian away and fled!
But even though he ran very fast, the wind behind him was still chasing after him, and finally slammed into the two of them!
"Well!"
Xu Fenglei shivered all over, as if he had been hit by a ball of cotton, and his whole body became a little stuffy and stuffy.
"Master, my feet hurt a little!"
Li Chengqian frowned and said,
"It seems that when I was picking up rocks just now, I was scratched by something."
Xu Fenglei looked quickly - sure enough, there was a faint wound on Li Chengqian's foot, with blood oozing out of it.
"It's okay. I'll carry you back and bandage it for you."
He continued,
"Come on, get on Master's back."
"The sun is about to set. There are many ferocious beasts on the mountain. We have to go back to the inn right away."
"Hold on tight!"
Li Chengqian hummed and got on Xu Fenglei's back.
Xu Fenglei held up the child on his back and ran down the mountain quickly without even looking back!
That feeling just now... was so bad!
I feel like something has crashed into my body, but what it is... I don’t know!
Master never told...
After all, the master only taught how to find the dragon's acupoints, but did not teach how to destroy Feng Shui, nor did he explain the consequences of destroying Feng Shui.
I just said... It's quite unethical to do this. I've worked hard for hundreds of years just to transform myself into a dragon, but you cut me off. How can I not be resentful?
Isn't it really like Li Chunfeng said that he ruined the spirit python's luck and will be in bad luck?
But I didn't kill the spirit python, I just cut off its water-absorbing channel. It still exists, but it can't transform into a dragon and fly for nine days...
You shouldn't be so resentful, and you have to take revenge on yourself, right?
With random thoughts in his mind, Xu Fenglei became less and less confident and went down the mountain faster and faster.
Anyway, his intuition told him——
If you do something immoral, run, run!
