The Tuhuang Daoist held a Feng Shui compass in his hand. After hearing Qin Shaoyou's inquiry, he used his magic power to make the Feng Shui compass bloom with wisps of golden light, turning it into a mountain trend, attracting many people nearby. .
"Through our survey, we found that the vein where this cave is located is part of the Shu Mountain. The source of the Shu Mountain starts from West Kunlun and is one of the nine dragon veins of the Xia Kingdom."
When Qin Shaoyou was in the Demon Suppression Department, he checked the relevant confidential files and knew that there were nine dragon veins in the Xia Kingdom, which were consistent with the topography of Kyushu in ancient times.
Although the Great Xia Kingdom did not follow the regional division of ancient Jiuzhou, the nine dragon veins did exist and eventually converged in the capital, so there is a saying of "Nine Dragons Gathering".
Moreover, inside the palace of the capital, there is also a Nine Dragon Wall that carries the destiny of the country.
"So, the Seven-Star Death-Destroying Formation of Marquis Dongchuan was placed on the Dragon Veins of Shushan Mountain?" Su Jianqing floated over with Qiu Rong. After hearing Taoist Tuhuang's story, she raised her eyebrows and asked road.
"Yes, and the location is not simple."
Zeng took the lead from the Taoist Priest, waved his hand, and saw that the golden light projected from the Feng Shui compass changed, making the Shushan dragon veins become larger, and there was a halo of light on the neck behind his head. Stop flashing.
Pointing to the place where the halo flickers, Taoist priest Zeng explained: "This is where the Qingtang Acropolis is. You must have heard the saying "seven inches to kill a snake", right? The so-called seven inches is not the specific length, but It refers to the vital points of snakes and the position of their hearts. Qingtang Acropolis is located on the dragon vein of Shushan Mountain, so it is located at the seven-inch vital point."
When Su Tingyu heard this, she also understood: "So, the seven-star death-killing formation set up by Marquis Dongchuan here is not to take someone's life, but to destroy the dragon veins of Shushan and ruin the national destiny of Daxia? "
Everyone was shocked when they heard the discoveries and speculations of the Taoist priests at Jade Emperor Temple.
A red-clothed envoy couldn't help but question: "Can a Feng Shui formation destroy the dragon vein? And don't we have nine dragon veins in Daxia? Even if the Marquis of Dongchuan is really that capable, if one of them is destroyed, it will be ruined." National destiny?"
Zeng Congzhang explained: "Just a Feng Shui formation, of course, cannot damage the dragon's veins. But in recent years, the national destiny of Daxia has been declining. Under such circumstances, the Marquis of Dongchuan announced The dangerous seven-star fatal formation will undoubtedly accelerate and intensify the deterioration of the national destiny.
Not to mention, what Dongchuan Hou has set up here is not only the seven-star death-defying formation, but also seven Jingguan! The evil spirit in Jingguan will pass through the earth veins and into the dragon veins of Shushan, polluting and corrupting them.
If we guessed correctly, these people who were turned into zombies and built into the Jingguan were either loyal and good people, or they were beloved local sages and officials.
These people died unjustly, were built into temples, and turned into zombies. They were extremely resentful, and the pollution and damage to the dragon veins was also very violent!
After the dragon veins were polluted and damaged, the most intuitive changes were the increase in disasters and the loss of morals. In recent years, isn't it true that Yizhou and its neighboring Shaanzhou, Dianzhou and other places have experienced constant disasters and frequent cults? As a result, the decline of the national destiny worsened. "
Taoist Tuhuang continued the topic and continued: "Although there are nine dragon veins in Daxia, because they will eventually converge at the capital, they will suffer losses and prosper. Besides, Yizhou, Shaanzhou, If there are troubles in Dianzhou and other places due to natural and man-made disasters, won't they affect other surrounding states? And then affect the entire Great Xia Kingdom?"
Everyone was silent.
There was a severe drought in Shaanzhou before, and the people were displaced and unable to survive, which led to the rise of bandits. This not only caused disaster to Shaanxi Province, but also affected many surrounding state capitals, forcing the court to mobilize large armies to suppress the bandits. However, as soon as the army moved, the people along the way suffered again.
Also, this time the Qingtang Border Force was not only supported by Yizhou alone, but several states adjacent to Yizhou also contributed money and grain to serve as food and wages for the border troops.
Where does money and food come from?
Not all of it comes from raising taxes on the people.
Among them, there are also corrupt officials who take advantage of the situation and increase their power at every level, causing misery to the people in these states. There are also frequent cases of children selling their daughters.
When there are complaints among the people, the spirit of demons and ghosts will breed crazily, and evil cults such as the Black Lotus will have an opportunity to confuse all living beings, grow stronger, and cause chaos everywhere.
Aren't these all manifestations of the decline of the national destiny?
Although it was not the fault of Marquis Dongchuan alone, what he did here, including the seven-star death-defying formation and the seven Jingguan, definitely contributed to the situation.
Maybe he colluded with Qingtang and wanted to fight a tacit war. In addition to avoiding the court's accountability, he also wanted to use human life and blood to further pollute the dragon's veins and aggravate the decline of the national destiny!
Speaking of which, aren't there people from Qin Tianjian in Longmai who are always observing and protecting it? They didn't realize there was something wrong with the Shushan Dragon Veins? Or is it that they discovered the problem but did not find out where the problem lies?
It seems that the level of people in Qintian Prison is not very good either.
After being stunned, Qin Qiaoer couldn't help but think about another thing: "Why did the Marquis of Dongchuan do this? Is it to help the King of Shu ascend to the great treasure? Or does he have some ideas of his own?"
After thinking for a while, she asked Qin Shaoyou in a low voice: "What do you think?"
"Sit and watch."
Qin Shaoyou replied casually. Seeing his sixth sister raising her fist to hit him, Qin Shaoyou hurriedly changed his words: "I'm just kidding. According to my observations these days, Dongchuan Hou is a very ambitious man. He planted seven stars to kill the dragon veins of Shushan Mountain. The formation, I am afraid, really has the idea of 'the world will be in chaos, summer will lose its deer, and all the heroes will chase it away'."
Qin Qiaoer nodded, she thought so too, and Qin Shaoyou's words helped her firm up her judgment.
After thinking about it, she added: "The evidence is conclusive that the Marquis of Dongchuan colluded with Qingtang. And there is physical evidence that he destroyed the Dragon Vein with the intention of being detrimental to the national destiny. As for whether he has the idea of causing chaos and seizing the throne. , let’s leave it to my master to investigate, and we won’t get involved.”
Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement.
Marquis Dongchuan has many connections in the court. It would be safer to leave it to Qi Longfei or Lu Bing to investigate whether these ministers secretly participated in and funded the things Dongchuan Marquis did.
While they were talking, Cui Youying had already burned the zombies and rat demons completely.
After everyone determined that there was nothing to solve in the underground cave, they left here and returned to the Hou Mansion.
When Qin Shaoyou emerged from the secret passage, he was still holding the bloody half-drawn head of Marquis Dongchuan in his hand.
When Wei Tu recited mantras and set fire to the body of Dongchuan Hou, Qin Shaoyou snatched the head out and prepared to show it to the public, so that the soldiers in the Hou Mansion and the border troops in the barracks would know about Dongchuan Hou. He has already been executed, so don’t continue to resist.
Now that the Qingtang army is coming, we must unite all the forces that can be united to survive the crisis.
Everyone returned to the ground and walked out of the study. They saw that the barrier created by the rain outside was still there. In order to break through the barrier and support the Marquis of Dongchuan, the soldiers in the Marquis Mansion even brought the divine machine cannon. , was about to set up artillery and start blasting.
"stop!"
Qin Shaoyou stirred up his energy and shouted loudly, the sound was like thunder. All the soldiers outside the study were startled. They all looked at Qin Shaoyou and saw him holding his head half up and saying loudly:
"The Marquis of Dongchuan colluded with Qingtang and committed treason. The evidence is conclusive! We, the red-clothed envoys, have followed the orders of the emperor and the court and have killed him in accordance with the law! I think you people have all been deceived by him, If you don't know his conspiracy, as long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, you will be given a chance to atone for your sins. Otherwise, you will be regarded as treasonous and treasonous, and you will be killed without mercy, and the three tribes will be punished!"

The call came in at midnight last night. It was 40 degrees Celsius, sweltering and without air conditioning or fans. It was really sour... Today, the neighborhood next to us had another power outage. I pray that our place can be stable...
