"The treasure trove of the royal palace?"
Li Yan held the wine glass in his hand and asked, "What do you want from the palace?"
Hu Ming said, "During the Daxing period, the Han River changed its course, and a Crystal Altar emerged from the upstream. It is crystal clear and does not contain any impurities. And every night, the moonlight and stars gather on the platform."
"This object is rumored to have belonged to the ancient immortal cave abode. It later fell into the hands of Prince of Wu Prefecture. It is a good material for making Star Gazing Mirror."
"Tai Bai Mountain is the highest peak east of Qiangtang, standing directly against the sky. I, Jade Emperor Temple, do not have this condition, so I can only use this thing instead."
Immortal thing?
When Li Yan heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "Daoist Friend Hu is joking, I don't have that much dignity."
"Don't talk about stealing treasures. That's just seeking death."
Prince of Wu Prefecture likes to collect treasures. Many people know that, and there are even more jealous ones, but I have never heard of a few who can succeed.
The other party's treasure house is like a forbidden place in Ezhou, and countless people have died there.
Even the Tian family's "Returning Yang One" sneaked into it and got into the position of Chang Shi, and it took several years of planning to succeed.
These two guys in front of me dare to think.
"Young Hero Li misunderstood."
Hu Ming was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Although I'm not good at it, but it comes from Orthodox Xuan Gate, how dare you act recklessly."
"To be honest, we have already tried it, but Prince of Wu Prefecture is closer to Buddhism, so I don't pay much attention to it."
Li Yan was a little speechless, "Prince of Wu Prefecture doesn't even sell Orthodox Xuan Gate's face, what can I do?"
Hu Ming smiled slightly and pointedly said, "Others may not be able to do it, but Prince of Wu Prefecture will definitely give it to Baotong Chan Temple."
"And Young Hero Li happened to have just done a big favor to Baotong Chan Temple..."
Li Yan put down the wine glass and glanced lightly, "Your Excellency's information is quite well informed."
Hu Ming smiled and said nothing.
Li Yan thought for a while and said, "I can help intercede, but there is no guarantee whether it will work."
Hu Ming's eyes suddenly showed joy, "As long as Young Hero Li is willing to match up, Master Lu will take action regardless of success or failure."
Li Yan Hearing this, he looked at the old man next to him.
Seeing this, the drunken Master Lu shook his head and said, "I only refine weapons and don't care about other things. If Hu Ming says it can be done, then I will stay for a while."
"Okay!"
Li Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, a big event finally came to light.
Thinking of this, he quickly stood up and said, "I'm going to ask someone to bring the things over. If you need anything else, master, just ask."
Master Lu looked around again, shook his head and said, "If you want to refine the magic weapon you want, this place is not suitable."
"Fifteen miles east of the city, at Yuquan Temple, there is the Zhuodao Spring. According to legend, it was the place where Emperor Guan Sheng led the army in Jiangling in the past and Zhuodao was the place. The spring water is cold and the energy from the earth's veins gathers, making it an excellent place for refining weapons."
"May 13th is the birthday of Lord Guan. If it rains on this day, it will be called 'Knife Sharpening Rain'. At this time, with the help of the weather, you can refine a superior magic weapon."
"Yuquan Temple is also under the management of Baotong Chan Temple. Since you want to ask for a favor, you might as well mention this matter and lend them their valuable land."
"As for what else is needed, I'll wait until you get the things to take a look."
"Okay, I'll do it right now!"
Li Yan raised his hand and turned around quickly to leave.
As soon as he walked away, Master Lu shook his head at Hu Ming and said, "What he wants to practice is New Style Firearm. The cause and effect is too big."
Hu Ming disagreed and stood up and said, "New Style Firearm I also know that it has been spread secretly for a long time and many forces are building it privately. Otherwise, how could the imperial court let it go so easily?"
"According to the master's deduction, the Divine Land Human Path change has arrived. Tai Bai Mountain already has Star Gazing Platform. If I, Jade Emperor Temple, don't keep up, I will fall behind step by step in the future, and sooner or later I will have to come to ask for help."
"Master, just do it. After taking the things, we will return to Jinzhou immediately. The current chaos is all due to the war in the southwest, and it is estimated that it will not subside so soon..."
On the other side, Li Yan has returned to the E Prefecture Merchant Guild.
It was raining lightly and non-stop, but he was in a very good mood. When he saw Patriarch Tian's family, he immediately said, "Patriarch Tian, things over there have become clearer."
"I plan to go back to Hanyang and pick up all your family members and live in the Chamber of Commerce. What do you think?"
"That's just right."
Patriarch Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "I have been worried about that side all day. The Chamber of Commerce is safer. I might as well stay here for a while until the matter is over."
E Prefecture Merchant Guild There are small courtyards built here for wealthy businessmen from all over the world to live in. Patriarch Tian is a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
Living here is no different from home.
What's more, it's safer here.
Compared to Hanyang, where the world of Three Religions and Nine Schools gathers, Wu Prefecture City has the presence of the royal palace and many yamen, plus several Buddhist temples to guard it, so the people behind the scenes will never dare to act recklessly.
They now have the advantage.
The power of Buddhism and the imperial court has been mobilized. As long as all these monsters are captured, this job will be completely completed.
Seeing Patriarch Tian's agreement, Li Yan immediately came to the dock to take a boat to Hanyang City.
Although it rained lightly today and there was a lot of rain and fog on the river, Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and there are already people practicing dragon boats on the river, preparing to win a good place in the competition.
Coupled with the businessmen, entertainers, and street traders coming and going... it actually seemed more lively than usual.
There is only a river between the two cities. It took less than half an hour for Li Yan to arrive at Parrot Isle.
Last night I listened to the great monk explaining Feng Shui at Baotong Chan Temple. When Li Yan looked at this place again, I immediately noticed the mystery.
Tortoise and Snake Mountains is like Door Gods, gathering the feng shui and wealth fortune of a thousand rivers and lakes, and this Parrot Isle is like a treasure vase, catching it steadily.
No wonder this pier is so prosperous.
Especially when Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, even if it is raining lightly, the pier is still noisy with people, many food stalls have set up awnings, and it is a spectacular scene of fireworks.
Li Yan was so busy with things today that he didn't even bother to take sightseeing. He quickly entered the city and returned to Tian Residence.
Before he even got close, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that the card was clear, Hanyang Yamen no longer covered it up and directly sent a team of Yamen Runner to guard outside Tian Residence.
With Lu San around, no movement around him could escape his notice, so he immediately came out with Wang Dao Xuan and Sha LiFei to greet him.
After entering Tian Residence, Li Yan first informed Madam Tian and others that they were safe, and then asked them to quickly pack their things and prepare to go to Wuchang.
Due to the military order of the Guard, Patriarch Tian's son-in-law has returned and has to perform many tasks, leaving only his wife behind. Tian Residence Now only a group of female dependents are left.
They were tidying up there, while Li Yan entered the room and recounted everything from last night to today.
"Four images disturbing the earth's veins?"
Wang Dao Xuan was taken aback, and shook his head with a serious face. "These people are really crazy. If they succeed, I don't know how many people will die."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Baotong Chan Temple has been activated. The power of Buddhism cannot be underestimated. Those people probably dare not show their faces at all."
"It's not our turn to worry about these things."
Sha LiFei's eyes were full of anxiety, "Yan XiaoGe, then Master Lu can really make things?"
Li Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I asked specifically. This Master Lu is proficient in all kinds of crafts and is also famous among Jinzhou craftsmen."
"To others, these are just gadgets. If Uncle Sha is interested, just stay with him during this period, and maybe you can learn a few tricks."
"That's great." Sha LiFei's eyes were eager to try.
The same is true for Lu San. Li Yan said that he will take him to visit Master Lin tonight, and maybe he can decipher <Classic of Mountains and Seas Spiritual Responses>.
After explaining the situation, everyone began to pack their things.
They had quite a lot of goods, and the large and small boxes were extremely heavy. They even specially called the Tian Family Nursing Home to help them. Together with the luggage of the Tian Family's female family members, they headed for the dock in a mighty manner.
Along the way, Li Yan was cautious.
After all, not only are they protecting the female members of the Tian family, but their goods are also extremely precious. If someone attacks and falls into the river, it will be bad luck.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful and we arrived at the Chamber of Commerce safely.
"Master."
"Father, are you okay?"
"I've met my sister-in-law."
When everyone in the Tian family met, they were naturally sad.
The second son of the Tian family also brought his family to visit Madam Tian. After this disaster, the estrangement between the two parties was completely eliminated, and it seemed that each other had endless things to say.
Li Yan and others did not interrupt and returned to their rooms.
"Yan XiaoGe, shall we leave now?" Sha LiFei was a little anxious.
"No." Li Yan laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "You haven't done what you promised, so why would you bother to come?"
"And to refine the magic weapon, you need to go to Yuquan Temple. I have to go to Baotong Chan Temple first to explain this matter."
After the arrangements were made, Li Yan found the Enforcement Hall monks and asked, "When will Master Cheng Jue return?"
Baotong Chan Temple is busy now. If he wants to come to intercede, he has to find a good time, and it is best to ask Cheng Jue first.
The leading monk clasped his hands together and said, "Brother Cheng Jue went to Jiangxia Liangzi Lake, and Miao People, who was in trouble with the soldiers and horses of the guard, has not returned yet."
Li Yan frowned, "What about Abbot Mingzhu?"
The monk replied, "The abbot was still in the government office in the morning, and then he was invited by Prince of Wu Prefecture to go to the palace."
Li Yan was not surprised when he heard it.
We only discovered the demon's plot last night, and now both Baotong Chan Temple and the imperial court are in a state of chaos.
He was still a little impatient, so there was no harm in waiting.
After letting go of his mind, Li Yan suddenly felt his bowels rumbling like a drum. He took out his pocket watch and took a look, only to find that it was Shen Zheng Three Religions (15:45). He had been so busy since morning that he didn't even bother to eat.
He was not in the mood to look for a restaurant in Wu Prefecture City at the moment, so he asked the chef from the Chamber of Commerce to get some food.
After You Hour passed, the sky gradually darkened, and Cheng Jue still hadn't returned. Li Yan thought for a moment, called Tian Wei and Lu San, and planned to visit Master Lin first...
The academy is not far from the Chamber of Commerce, only two streets away. At this time, night has fallen, and the light rain that has fallen all day has finally stopped. The lanterns along the street are lit, and they are reflected on the slippery bluestone, which has a unique charm.
When visiting someone's home, naturally you can't go empty-handed.
Li Yan Seeing that the pocket watches were good, I simply bought two more, got some pastries and wine, and wrapped them beautifully in oil paper as a meeting gift.
The name of the academy is Jianghan Academy.
Although Wenjin Academy has a lofty status, it is under Dabie Mountain, by the Confucius River, and not everyone is qualified to go there.
Therefore, the three cities of Wuchang all have academies. For example, Hanyang City has Qingchuan Academy.
This Jianghan Academy is quite large, with the door closed. The four characters "Jianghan Academy" are written on the plaque above, and there are glazed wood-inlaid couplets on both sides, which read, "The literary style of Jingchu has been passed down through the ages, and the elegance of the academy has educated all the heroes."
Tian Wei is obviously familiar with the people in the academy. After knocking on the door, the old man First Gate appeared. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "It's Young Master Tian. Master Lin just arrived and I asked about you."
"Sir is here?"
Tian Wei looked happy and quickly led everyone in.
At this time, the academy was very quiet. Except for someone reading softly in Student Dormitory (student dormitory), the lecture hall and Ten Sages Shrine and other areas were closed, and only lanterns were hung in dimly lit areas.
The old concierge led the way and said with a smile, "Master Lin also brought a gentleman. The mountain chief and the head priest are hosting a banquet for Moon Pond over there."
Li Yan The three of them shuttled through the corridors of the academy, passed two stone paths and arches, and came to a garden.
I saw this place surrounded by green bamboos, with a crescent-shaped pond in the center. The lotus leaves and lotus flowers were washed clean by the rain, and the faint sound of frogs could be heard.
"Hahaha...Master Yu is really amazing."
Before he even got close, he heard laughter coming from the pavilion by the pool.
Li Yan and others looked up.
I saw a few lanterns hanging on the pavilion, and a table set up below, where four old men were drinking and chatting.
One of them is thin, with sparse and upright eyebrows. He is wearing a dark gray straight jacket and a black square scarf.
One person is slightly fat, has a round face and a smile, and is wearing a light blue robe.
The other person is of medium build, with a serious face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face and a wide mouth. He is wearing a navy blue robe and a brown soft hat.
These three people are all dressed as Confucian scholars and are quite dignified.
Opposite them, sat an old man in black robes and white hair. He had deep facial features and double pupils in his eyes. He had a certain aura just sitting there.
Li Yan took one look and knew it was the master Jiang Xiang Sect.
Divine Land Feng Shui masters are roughly divided into two schools: "Situation" and "Li Qi". There are many internal types, such as Luantou School, Xingfa School, Bazhai School, Star Constellation Sect, etc.
And this Jiang Xiang Sect has not had a very good reputation in recent years.
There are also experts among them, but the culture has long been corrupted, and many rely on Feng Shui Arts to cheat and defraud in various places.
The internal grades and responsibilities are strict, as Li Yan probably knows, they are divided into "bachelor", "number one scholar", "second place", "third flower", "Hanlin", "jinshi", "Recommended Scholar", etc.
These people are well organized, similar to the Bee Sect scammers.
I don't know why this person was chosen by Master Lin.
"Tian Wei, you are here."
When the old man in Confucian robes with a thin face and sparse eyebrows saw Tian Wei, he immediately stroked his beard and smiled, obviously relieved, "I just entered the city and heard about your family. It's okay."
"I've seen Mr. Wang Shanzheng and Chen Zhangsi."
Tian Wei usually likes to show off his talk, but when he saw Master Lin, he was honest and his eyes were a little red, "The student was in trouble this time, thanks to Young Hero Li's help."
Li Yan quickly bowed to him, cupped his hands and said, "I have heard that Master Lin is knowledgeable, so I came here specifically to visit and ask for advice."
"Oh?"
Master Lin became interested when he heard this, "I heard on the way that you were the one who broke the overall situation of demon feng shui. Is this possible?"
He is obviously a psychic, so why did he become a bad Feng Shui tactic?
Li Yan was confused, but after thinking about it for a moment, he understood the cause and effect. Baotong Chan Temple obviously didn't want too many people to know that Great Hero Hall was crying blood from both eyes of the Buddha statue.
Especially when it comes to communicating with the gods, ordinary people don't know how to do it.
In the eyes of the common people, an outsider can communicate with gods and Buddhas, but monks who chant sutras all day long but cannot do so are obviously not sincere.
Thinking of this, Li Yan quickly shook his head and said, "This matter just happened to happen. The one who really broke the situation was Master Tonghai..."
"Break the situation?"
Before he finished speaking, Double-Pupiled Old Man of the Jiang Xiang Sect smiled contemptuously, "This game is not that simple. With Tonghai's ability, it's still far from enough!"
