Volume One: The Empire in the Morning, Chapter 178: Chang'an City is a Formation
"Goodbye Suzaku, do you have any new feelings?"
"no?"
"Don't you think it's alive?"
"Master, do you think so too?"
The two masters and apprentices had already walked out of the crowd and continued southward along the Suzaku Avenue. Hearing what Master Yan Se said, Ning Que asked in surprise, and then couldn't help but look back and was surrounded by the crowd. He could no longer see it.
A glance at the painting of a red bird.
Master Yan Se ignored him and continued to move forward: "What kind of existence can be sure to be alive and alive?"
Ning Que turned around and chased after him, thinking that when Brother Eleven asked such a question, he had been sleeping most of the time.
"Of course, this is a rather difficult question, and it has nothing to do with the reason why I brought you to see the Suzaku painting today." Master Yan Se said, "I brought you here because I want to tell you that this painting on Suzaku Avenue
The painting has nothing to do with artistic sculpture. It is a talisman in Chang'an City."
Ning Que was slightly startled. He really did not connect the Suzaku portrait with the Talisman, because he could feel that the Suzaku portrait possessed a terrifying power, a chilling meaning that seemed to come from ancient times, and
Fu, this mysterious but subtle existence, seems to be from two worlds.
"You said before that we talisman masters regard all practices in the world as talismans... It is a very narcissistic mentality. But I can tell you with certainty that the painting of the Suzaku is a talisman, and a front
The talisman left behind by the saint."
The words "Saint Talisman" entered Ning Que's mind. He frowned tightly and asked after a long silence: "Master, you once said that a Talisman Master can only move the world by taking that step. That person
Have the previous saints who left the Suzaku portrait passed that step?"
"Thousands of years ago, the empire established its capital in Chang'an and expanded on the original city. At that time, the Suzaku Talisman was already there. The saint of the previous generation must have exceeded his destiny when he drew the Suzaku Talisman.
Realm, I just don’t know whether it is the Apocalypse or the Infinite Realm, but the last time I told you about Fu moving the world, I guess... the required realm is even more profound."
"Wouldn't that mean he became a god? Is there such a great practitioner in the world?"
"Haotian Taoism has been cultivated to the end, and beyond the apocalypse is to become immortal. The so-called immortalization is to ascend to immortality. Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, there are not too many seniors who have ascended to immortality in the Taoist classics."
"Myths are just myths after all."
Master Yan Se raised his eyebrows and said, "Then do you think an ordinary mortal would think that I am a god when he sees a Talisman Master like me?"
Ning Que was not sure and said: "...Maybe."
"So it's not that unimaginable to practice Taoism until you finally become immortal. But I guess these immortals are different from the immortals in myths and novels. They should be truly transcendent great practitioners."
"Master, I'm still more curious about the stories in the world. The Suzaku talisman left by the previous saint, I believe it must be particularly terrifying. The problem is that the talisman is self-sustaining. Who can activate this talisman?"
Master Yan Se said leisurely: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this Vermillion Bird Talisman has been lying quietly on the stone path and has never been really activated. However, according to the judgment of someone in the academy and the previous national master, the Vermillion Bird Talisman
Once the talisman is activated, it can be roughly equivalent to a full-strength strike from a great practitioner at the peak of knowing destiny, and in some aspects it can even exceed it by several points."
"It's just the pinnacle of knowledge."
"It's just? What's your attitude?"
"Master, you are at the pinnacle of knowing your destiny. Liu Bai is also at the pinnacle of knowing your destiny. I guess the national master and senior brother are also at the pinnacle of knowing your destiny. Master, I don't even dare to guess. I now know many great practitioners who are in the realm of knowing destiny. Second Senior Brother, Chao
Xiaoshu, even my stupid friend is a genius who has advanced to the realm of knowing fate. Is the realm of knowing fate... really rare?"
"Ning Que."
"Master, I'm here."
Master Yan Se looked at him and shook his head, saying: "You are very lucky, or you are very unfortunate."
Ning Que asked in confusion: "Master, how do you say this?"
"The place with the largest number of great practitioners in the world is the Xiling Temple and the Academy. You are a student on the second floor of the Academy, and you are also the apprentice of me, the great priest of the temple, so you can come into contact with many powerful people who know the fate. However, ordinary practitioners
You may never come into contact with a strong person who knows your destiny in your whole life, so I say you are very lucky. However, you are so weak now, but you have come into contact with so many strong people. I am very worried that you look up at the mountains and lose the ability to climb and transcend.
courage."
"Don't worry, master. In fact, I am quite narcissistic at heart."
"That's good."
…
…
Unknowingly, Master Yan Se and Master Ning Que walked through the entire southern city along the Suzaku Avenue and arrived near the south gate of Chang'an City. The majestic city wall towered as if it could break the sky, casting a shadow to cover the neighboring areas.
A large city.
Master Yan Se led Ning Que towards the city wall. For some reason, no one from the strictly disciplined city gate army came to stop them or check their identities, as if they hadn't seen them at all.
Ning Que was surprised and even more confused as to why his master took him up the city tower, but he didn't bother to get to the bottom of it. He stared at the hem of the dirty Taoist robe climbing up. However, he still had some doubts about the power of the Suzaku Talisman.
Puzzled, he couldn't help but ask: "Master, how powerful is the realm of knowing one's destiny? I asked someone to perform once, but I have never seen one fight with one's destiny."
Master Yan Se frowned and asked, "Which stupid great practitioner would be so idiotic as to perform for you?"
Ning Que secretly said that the great cultivator's surname was Chen Pipi. Although he was an idiot in life, he was really a good person.
Master Yan Se was displeased and scolded: "As for fighting with your destiny? Do you want me to go find Liu Bai and give you another fight?"
Ning Que explained with a grimace: "You misunderstood, I'm just curious."
The two masters and apprentices climbed up to the high tower, and the wind blowing from the plain climbed up the ancient but still strong city wall, carrying several sharp eagle calls, blowing the clothes of the two of them as if they were flying.
Master Yan Se stood on the edge of the city tower, stroking the blue bricks with his hand, looking at the mountain clearly visible in the south, and suddenly said: "That second senior brother in your academy only needs to look at you and you will die. This is knowing your fate."
realm."
Ning Que stood beside him, looking at the mountain where he had lived and studied for more than a month, thinking silently in his heart.
One look at you and you will die.
After savoring these eight words carefully, Ning Que felt more and more admirable and timid. After a moment of silence, he answered honestly: "... Master, I understand. I will definitely respect you and the second senior brother more in the future."
Master Yan Se took him to the other side of the tower facing Chang'an City.
Chang'an City, composed of countless buildings, has now become a puzzle piece at your feet. The Imperial Palace in the north city no longer looks so unattainable. If Zhuque Street directly below is like a sharp and straight sword, then
The imperial city is the hilt of the sword.
"Did you see something?"
These days, Master Yan Se took Ning Que to travel around Chang'an City and visited many historical sites and places of interest. Everywhere he went, he would ask questions. Ning Que knew that the old man wanted to speed up his understanding of the Tao of Talisman through this method. In fact, no matter whether it was
The rain eaves of Chunfeng Pavilion or the eaves beast statues can indeed deepen his understanding of Fu Dao, but...
At this time, standing on the city tower and looking at the city view, the entire city of Chang'an appeared in front of me, with the bustling and bustling outer layer gone, leaving only silence and a sense of separation after looking away. Ordinary people would probably scream with excitement and look for their own home.
Where, from a literary and artistic perspective, one can probably detect the historical vicissitudes left to this majestic city over thousands of years, but from a Fu Tao perspective, what can be seen?
"Chang'an City is actually a large formation."
Master Yan Se's answer directly shocked Ning Que and left him speechless.
"This majestic city in the world has gathered the wisdom of countless practitioners from previous generations. It took our Tang Dynasty Empire thirty years of financial resources to expand and build this majestic city. Of course, it should be the most powerful formation in the world, so it is named Jingshen.
.”
Ning Que opened his eyes and looked at Chang'an City below his feet, trying hard to see the general appearance of the formation, but he found nothing.
Master Yan Se couldn't help but smile when he saw his expression, and said: "Of course, this amazing formation in Chang'an City cannot be seen with the naked eye. Most of it is buried underground. What I can tell you is that the formation hub is conveniently located under the palace, and the Zhuque Street is
Zhengen.”
The old Taoist pointed his right hand in the direction of the palace, then slowly moved his fingertips down Zhuque Street, and continued: "The formation's roots continue to our feet, which is the south gate of Suzaku, but it spreads through the city wall, and then through all the city caves in the inner city and outer city.
Return it."
"You can also think of the Chang'an City formation as an extremely complex and huge talisman. This talisman is composed of countless divine talismans. As soon as the formation eyes are opened, this huge talisman will be activated to protect this majestic city.
The city and its inhabitants.”
Ning Que looked at the dense buildings in Chang'an City and the busy but happy crowds like ants. Hearing Master Yan Se's words, Ning Que couldn't help but feel shaken. His admiration and awe were beyond words.
"The Suzaku portrait I took you to see just now is the most powerful talisman among this vast talisman."
It took Ning Que a long time to suppress the shock in his heart. He looked at the majestic city in front of him and murmured with emotion: "Once this formation is opened, I don't know what the scene will be like. Dark clouds covering the sky or the earth is shaking."
The mountain shakes and the city does not move..."
"No one knows what that picture will look like. I believe that even the designers and the previous generations of practitioners who were responsible for building the formation don't know, and they don't want to know, and I don't want to know either."
Master Yan Se looked at him with a serious expression and said: "The activation of the Jingshen Formation means that Chang'an City is about to be destroyed. If that day comes, it can only mean that our Datang Empire is on the verge of destruction."
Ning Que suddenly thought of a key question. He looked at Master Yan Se and said seriously: "Master, you shouldn't tell me about things like this, especially about the center and formation roots. This is not good."
Master Yan Se said calmly: "Do you know who is in charge of this amazing formation in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty now?"
"who?"
"You master me."
Master Yan Se looked at him with a smile and said: "And you are my only descendant. After I leave this world, you will be responsible for this amazing formation, so it is natural for you to know some situations in advance."
Ning Que didn't say anything. His face turned pale and he turned to look at Chang'an City below the tower. He shook his head and made a strange sound in his mouth, which sounded like cursing and sucking in air conditioning. It was more like unconscious thoughts.
.
A long time passed.
He turned back and glanced at Master Yan Se, and said resentfully: "Master, you don't have to be so scary."
