The ancients worshiped the heaven and the earth and enshrined mountains and rivers, and they believed deeply in the theory of Feng Shui. As long as there are mountains and rivers with unique beauty and excellent Feng Shui, once they are buried in them, emperors and generals will definitely appear.
The territory of the Great Emperor of China is vast, and there are hundreds of dragon veins descending from the Kunlun Mountains. They are distributed in different mountain ranges, large and small, just waiting for those who are destined to discover them.
After Zhu Taizu seized the country, he wanted to kill the dragon in order to ensure that the Zhu family would stay in the country forever and enjoy the country exclusively.
This important task naturally rests on Liu Bowen, who can kill mountains with dragons.
From then on, Liu Bowen traveled to famous mountains and rivers with his holy will. As long as he saw the shape of dragon veins, he would dig out the flesh, cut bones, break the spine and cramp, so that the dragon would not become a dragon and the dragon would not become a dragon.
After so many years, nearly a hundred dragon veins in the land of China have been cut off, but there is always a sparse one.
When Liu Bowen came outside the pass, he saw that there was dragon aura but no dragon shape in Changbai Mountain. Curious, he cast a spell to see it. It turned out that the dragon in the pond that day was dismissed as a dragon, dying, curled up into a ball, and even the dragon aura was about to dissipate.
He originally wanted to drain the Tianchi Lake and dry up the dragons to death, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt it was wrong.
Dragon veins are natural, and killing dragons is tantamount to going against nature. Now that he has killed ninety-nine dragon veins, the Zhu family will naturally be able to sit on the throne for three hundred years. If they kill all the dragon veins, they may be punished by God!
After much consideration, he finally let the dragon go and allowed it to surrender to the Dragon Veins of the Central Plains and occupy one side.
This Tianchi water dragon is the Jurchen dragon vein of the previous dynasty. The Jurchen tribe living peacefully in Changbai Mountain really surrendered to Zhu Ming. Zhu Taizu naturally established a state guard here and asked the Jurchens to guard the prefecture on their behalf. Just like the dragon assisting the dragon, the ministers serve the emperor. .
As for the Jurchens who turned against the guest three hundred years later and the ministers rebelled against the emperor, that was another fate of heaven and earth.
It is said that when Liu Bowen killed the dragons, he drew all the shapes, momentum, veins, principles and water of the hundreds of dragons in China on an atlas and named it the Guanshan Xianglong Sutra. Later, due to his death and his whereabouts were unknown, he was never seen again.
When the Xianglong Sutra ended, extremely complex patterns appeared in front of everyone's eyes, like Bagua diagrams nested inside each other, densely arranged like a sundial and compass, and full of mantras.
Master Mao was sweating profusely and exerting all his strength. He huffed and opened his backpack, took out a small ivory jar covered with starch, and opened it with force. He saw creaking and roaring inside, as if something was flapping.
Phew~
The mouth of the jar shook, and a golden cicada soared out from inside, circling around the cinnabar pattern, and the cicada kept chirping.
If you look carefully, you will see that this golden cicada is slightly larger than your thumb, with a three-point round head, a fat belly and a pointed tail, and eight fine legs. Its two eyes are as oily and translucent as rubies. Its appearance looks like gilding, and its belly is inlaid with black lines.
The six transparent wings were constantly trembling and flying, and the wing bones were curved and connected like golden wires, dividing the transparent wings into strange and mysterious patterns, glowing with iridescence under the glass lamp.
"Jin Chan?"
Judging from the appearance, it is about the same size as a cicada, but it has a few more parts than an ordinary cicada.
"It must be Nezha cicada, with three heads, six wings, and eight legs and red eyes."
Mr. Cat wiped the sweat from his head and explained proudly:
"Cicadas are the spirits of the earth. They stay in the soil for several years as pupae. When they turn into cicadas, they soar into the sky. They will not live in trees unless they are lush, and they will not drink dew unless they are flowers. The sage said that the sun and the moon are both bright and dark, and the husband and wife are close to each other. The ancients believed that The cicada can survive deep in the mud without rotting, and stand out in the sky because it does not eat fireworks and has a noble character, so it can be called a cicada pupa from the most filthy to the pure."
"Anything that is immortal in the soil is an earth spirit. This cicada is transformed from a pupa that has not decayed for thousands of years. Thousands of years have already made it human. When it turns into a cicada, it is called an earth spirit, also called a thousand-year cicada. Once born, it can live for hundreds of years."
"This cicada was given to me by my late father before his death. It knows the terrain and mountain patterns well and can help us find the entrance to the mausoleum."
"Co-author, were you using the ghostly talisman just to fool people?"
Master Mao was not angry at what Yue Erpao said, but shook his head:
"No, no, this prophecy is called the Dragon Trap Formation. It can help us trap the dragon veins so we can find the entrance to the tomb!"
