Although Zhumen Town is very lively, Zhumen Village is still as quiet as ever.
The Zhu family has great influence in Jinling, and the martial arts people respect Zhu Xiaoyuan very much and do not dare to disturb him.
Even those at the master level only came to visit once and then left.
But there was one exception, and that was Xiao Sheng, who was left at home by Zhu Xiaoyuan.
Xiao Sheng originally came to help Li Muchen explain. He thought Zhu Xiaoyuan really wanted to gather the entire martial arts world to deal with Li Muchen.
Zhu Xiaoyuan was not sure about the relationship between Xiao Sheng and Li Muchen at first, so he did not dare to tell him the truth, and the two almost started fighting.
Fortunately, they are both at the top of their martial arts, have well-cultivated minds, and have lived for more than a hundred years. Their tempers are not as explosive as those of young people. Finally, they finally made it clear.
Zhu Xiaoyuan left Xiao Sheng at home.
Nan Zhu and Bei Xiao lived in the same house, enjoying themselves harmoniously, which can be regarded as a beautiful story among martial arts circles in the world.
When Li Muchen arrived at Zhumen Village, he was really moved when he heard Bai Fuming talk about this episode.
Asked if there was any news about Tong Hao, Zhu Xiaoyuan said: "We have investigated all the people who came to Zhumen Town, and no trace of Tong Hao has been found yet."
Xiao Sheng said: "Tong Hao has been around for hundreds of years and has extremely high cultivation. If he deliberately conceals his whereabouts, none of us will be able to discover him."
Zhu Xiaoyuan nodded and said: "I also believe that he has come. Not only for Mu Chen, the opening of the Xuanwu Secret Realm will not be unattractive to a big demon like Tong Hao." gōΠb.ōγg
Li Muchen asked: "I also heard people talking about the Xuanwu Secret Realm in the town. What is going on?"
Zhu Xiaoyuan said: "Actually, this is not a secret. The so-called Xuanwu Secret Realm is just the place where the King of Chu buried his gold. Once found, it is just a pile of stuff."
"The King of Chu buried gold?" Li Muchen didn't understand.
Lin Manqing explained: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wei of Chu attacked Wu and Yue. He saw that the king's spirit was too strong here, and there was a sign of a rising dragon. The green dragon was a tree, and only gold could overcome it. So he ordered people to bury gold in the ground to cut off the dragon's veins. This is also the case."
The origin of the place name Jinling."
Zhu Xiaoyuan nodded with a smile and said: "Manqing is indeed knowledgeable, and what he said is right. Jinling is a place where dragons gather together, but all the dynasties that established their capitals here were short-lived. The sixty-nine years of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, the hundredth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, Qi Liang and Chenjia
It lasted for one hundred and seventy years, with an average of only forty years per dynasty. The Ming Dynasty also moved north in the forty years, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom nine years, and the previous dynasty only lived here for twenty-two years. According to legend, it was all because the King of Chu buried gold to block it.
Caused by dragon veins."
"Back then, my ancestors established the capital in Jinling during the Hongwu era. Liu Bowen once advised Taizu to move the capital, but because the king of Jinling was unstable, there would be great changes in fifty years. Taizu then ordered people to dig all over Jinling, but he could not find the gold buried by King Chu.
Therefore, he became suspicious of Liu Ji. Liu Ji resigned and returned to his hometown to live in the countryside."
"Taizu later carried out a large-scale construction work and built city walls to increase his aura as a king of Jinling. Before his death, he told his descendants that if there was peace in the world within fifty years of establishing the country, he would dig up Liu Bowen's grave and whip his corpse for three days to humiliate him."
"Later, as Liu Bowen expected, the Ming Dynasty was only forty years old when the Battle of Jingnan occurred. Chengzu ascended the throne and ordered people to dig up Liu Ji's tomb. They found that there was no body in the tomb, only a compass and a piece of advice.
, it is suggested to move the capital north while the King of Jinling’s spirit is not yet extinguished.”
"Chengzu accepted the suggestion and moved the capital to Yanjing, leaving only one branch in Jinling, holding a compass and looking for the legendary place where King Chu buried gold. This branch is us."
Everyone was shocked when they heard such a secret.
It turns out that the Zhu family in Jinling today was left in Jinling by Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty specifically to find a secret place. He probably wanted to find the place where King Chu buried gold, dig out the gold, obtain the treasure, and connect the dragon veins, killing two birds with one stone, and then conquer the capital.
After moving back from Yanjing, may the country be peaceful and peaceful from now on.
"Oh, who would have thought that hundreds of years have passed, and everything has become a story." Zhu Xiaoyuan sighed, "Actually, we made some discoveries during the previous dynasty. The place where King Chu buried gold should be in Xuanwu
Lake and Purple Mountain area. This is also the source of the theory of Xuanwu Secret Realm. Unfortunately, war broke out later, the country was in chaos, and the Zhu family was in turmoil, so there was no time to look for any secret realm. The most important thing is the compass left by Liu Bowen.
, was also lost in the flames of war.”
"Then why is there talk of the secret realm being opened recently?" Li Muchen asked.
Zhu Xiaoyuan said: "Because several warlocks who know the Feng Shui Qi-seeing technique have seen the Purple Gold Dragon Qi, that is to say, it is the time for the King Qi to flourish in Jinling. This has caused the legend about the secret realm to spread in the world again.
"
"In addition, although our compass was lost, we still had a fixed needle on the compass. We found a skilled craftsman, made a new compass according to the appearance of the compass left by Liu Bowen, and installed the fixed needle on it.
Although the needle is not as safe as the original, the fixed needle can still move and is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding earth's atmosphere."
"A while ago, the compass pointer was swinging erratically. I took it all the way north. The closer I got to Zhongshan, the greater the reaction of the pointer. When I arrived at the Xuanwu Lake, the pointer started to tremble. Unfortunately, the compass is not the original compass and cannot be accurate.
Locate the specific location, let alone know the entrance to the secret realm."
After Zhu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, he took out a compass from the safe in the study and put it on the table.
I saw that the pointer in the Tianchi in the center of the compass kept swinging.
Li Muchen was stunned for a moment when he saw the compass. He felt that the compass looked very familiar.
Suddenly, he took out a compass from his body and put it on the table.
I saw that this compass was almost exactly the same as the one on the table. The arrangement of the hexagrams and the directions of the twenty-four mountains on it were different from the compasses on the market.
It's just that Li Muchen's one looks more primitive, and there is a circle of incomprehensible talismans engraved on the disk.
Zhu Xiaoyuan was shocked and said: "Why...this Six Void Wheel Rotating Disk is here with you?"
Lin Manqing also said: "Yes, Muchen, I've never seen you play with a compass."
Li Muchen smiled and said: "When I first arrived in Hecheng, because I had no money, I went to Mr. Feng's shop with Brother Mashan to gamble on stones and bought it. At that time, I only knew that it was a compass, a magic weapon, and it was already somewhat ruined.
I just bought it and repaired it, but I didn’t take it seriously. I didn’t expect it to have such a history.”
Lin Manqing also laughed and said: "So this is how you earned your first pot of gold!"
Li Muchen said: "If I don't make money like this, I will have to eat your food. The key is that my mother-in-law won't let me eat it!"
Lin Manqing chuckled and said, "If you showed your skills earlier, would my mother not let you eat?"
Zhu Xiaoyuan said: "Mu Chen, it seems that this compass is destined to you. Could it be that the aura of the King of Jinling must be in you?"
Li Muchen quickly waved his hands and said: "Mr. Zhu, please don't say that. I came down the mountain originally to break the bond with the mortal world, but I ended up sinking deeper and deeper into this mortal world. It's hard to extricate myself from this mortal world. If I get any more royal aura, it will be a sea of misery."
Boundless.”
Zhu Xiaoyuan laughed loudly: "Mu Chen, fate is not your thing. If it comes, you won't be able to hide away!"
