Chapter 832

Zhong Li tilted her head and thought for a few seconds. Then she said, "The ley line is like a human's meridians. The flow of mountains and rivers is affected by the ley line."

She paused and continued, "The ley line is a general term. There are twelve types, which correspond to the twelve meridians of the human body. It is very important in Fengshui. The land with the ley line is a treasure land. The ley line is especially important when building a house and choosing a cemetery …"

Xu Qi 'an felt numb. He simplified it and replied in the Earth Book group, "The ley line is equivalent to the meridians of the human body, corresponding to the twelve meridians."

It was over.

The people of Heaven & Earth Society waited for a long time, but there was no follow-up. They were silent for a moment. It was equivalent to saying nothing.

However, Xu Qi 'an remembered a small matter. When he bought the new house with Chu Caiwei, there was a ghost in the Xu Fu Well. A ghost could not live alone in the world of the living.

At that time, Chu Caiwei went down to check and found a yin ley line at the bottom of the well.

The yin ley line must be a kind of ley line.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi 'an asked again, "Senior Sister Zhong, is there a ley line in the imperial city?"

Zhong Li said softly, "Of course there is a ley line in the imperial city. It is called the ley line."

Before Xu Qi 'an could ask, she explained considerately, "The ley line is an extension of fate.

Six hundred years ago, Daibun built the capital here. The ley line in the capital was nourished by the purple air, the country's fate, and the people's wishes. After a long time, it degenerated into a ley line. "

The ley line was a kind of ley line, but it was an extension of fate … Xu Qi 'an pondered and asked, "What is the ley line used for?"

Zhong Li pondered and said,

"Just like if the Fengshui of the ancestral grave is destroyed, it will affect the descendants. The ley line is similar to the Nation Guarding Sword, which can suppress the fate of a country. During the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qian Zhong, the great scholar of Yunlu Academy, entered the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty with the resentment of the people. At the cost of his life, he destroyed the last national fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What he destroyed was the ley line.

"There is a saying among us Warlocks, whoever gets the ley line will get the world."

I don't really understand it, but it seems very powerful … Xu Qi 'an sent a message: [There is a dragon vein in the imperial city.]

Then he asked Zhong Li, "Can you control the ley line?"

Zhong Li was dumbfounded for a long time before she said weakly, "The Dragon Vein is the key to the fate of a nation. Even the supervising teachers wouldn't dare to touch it."

"Li," then he said, "If the ley line protects the ley line protects the ley line protects, then the ley line protects the ley line protects the ley line protects the ley line."

Chu Yuanzhen analyzed: [If even the supervisor does not dare to easily touch the dragon vein, then Duke Huai's secret agents would definitely not be able to use the dragon vein to escape underground. "Li."

Even Xu Qi 'an had no idea what to do at the moment.

Suddenly, Number One said, "I will investigate Hengy Yuan. Leave it to me. You don't have to worry about it." "Huh?

Eh, Number One is taking the initiative. This is not in line with his or her personality … Xu Qi 'an was shocked.

Number One was the most low-profile and mysterious among the holders of the Earth Book. There was a reason why Number Seven and Eight could not speak up. Only Number One rarely spoke up. He would occasionally participate in the discussion, but he would not overdo it.

He never interacted with the holders of the Earth Book.

He was not the only one. The members of the Heaven & Earth Society were surprised. Being so proactive was not Number One's usual style.

"One: In the Heaven & Earth Society, no one can enter or leave the Imperial City except me. I can even find a way to enter the palace. Whether it is Hengy Yuan or the ley line, I have more advantages and it is safer.

"Of course, if I need help, I will ask for your help. I hope you will not reject me."

This reason was reasonable, and it easily convinced the crowd. Xu Qi 'an and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

Indeed, the Imperial City and the palace were forbidden places for them. Even if Xu Qi 'an could sneak into the Imperial City, he could only accompany Huaiqing and Lin An. He could not act alone.

"I can take this opportunity to test Number One's ability and identity …" Chu Yuanzhen thought.

Number One could enter and leave the Imperial City freely. He could even find a chance to enter the palace. This meant that he had a high status. One of the dukes? A member of the royal family or a noble? Li Miaozhen tried to figure it out.

"Phew, someone finally took over Master Hengy Yuan's matter. I can rest assured. Sleep, sleep …" Lina thought happily.

…

In the next two days, the imperial court and the Demon and Barbarian envoys negotiated several times without any results. Both sides could not reach an agreement.

Xu Qi 'an was far away from the imperial court and did not care about this matter. He went to the widow's courtyard to hide. The reason was that after the conference, scholars from all walks of life kept sending invitations to the Xu Mansion.

Some wanted to visit him, some wanted to have a drink with him, and some wanted to marry their daughters or sisters to him. They even included their birth dates and horoscopes.

Although Xu Qi 'an's reputation spread far and wide during the Buddhist duel, the scholars were still biased against him and did not completely see him as one of their own.

After the massacre in Chuzhou, Zhao Shou publicly announced that Xu Qi 'an was his disciple. Xu Qi' an officially became one of their own in the eyes of the scholars. However, at that time, the Yuanjing Emperor was angry and no one dared to get close to Xu Qi 'an.

After the incident at the Wen Conference, Xu Qi 'an became a hot commodity.

These were all small problems. What really made him unable to stay at home were the great scholars of Yunlu Academy.

The day before yesterday, the wind was very noisy and Xu Qi 'an's eyelids twitched.

Director Zhao Shou came. He was wearing a scholar's robe that had turned white. His hair was messy and he looked like a cynic.

Xu Qi 'an respectfully led his nominal teacher into the hall and served him good tea. After chatting for a while, Zhao Shou asked, "Ning Yan is an expert in the art of war. Do you have any handwritten copies of that book?"

Zhao Shou was here to read books, and he also wanted to add military books into the library of the Academy.

He didn't have handwritten copies, but he couldn't help but want to read it … Xu Qi 'an, who had not been close to a woman for four months, regrettably rejected Zhao Shou.

At this time, the great scholars Zhang Shen, Li Mubai, and Chen Tai came to visit together.

Seeing Director Zhao Shou, the three scholars looked disdainful.

Zhang Shen: "Thief of poems!"

Chen Tai: "Thief of poems!"

Li Mubai: "Shameless old thief!"

The three said in unison, "Bah!"

Then Director Zhao Shou was furious. He waved his sleeves and said, "Retreat a hundred miles."

The three scholars waved their sleeves. "No retreat!"

"Retreat a hundred miles."

"No retreat."

"Retreat a hundred miles."

"No retreat."

In this unique magic competition, Xu Qi 'an slipped out of the Xu Mansion. Before leaving, he looked back and saw the potted plant his aunt had placed in the hall broken on the ground.

Seeing Xu Lingyin join the battle, he stood aside and said, "Tuituitui …"

Li Miaozhen risked her life to save this stupid girl. Otherwise, she would have been sent a hundred miles away.

Princess Consort's life was especially nourishing. It was not nourishing physically, but spiritually.

She was free and did not lack food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Xu Qi 'an often accompanied her to go shopping, eat snacks, and watch opera.

The Nine-colored Lotus Root was growing very well. It had already begun to sprout and grew another section. Xu Qi 'an hoped that it would become bigger than the Jinlian Taoist priest's.

That evening, after Xu Qi 'an changed clothes at the brothel, he rode his beloved filly back to the Xu Mansion.

During dinner, his aunt said, "I asked Lingyue to invite Miss Wang to visit the house in two days. Remember to avoid the men in the house. In addition, you should also have the necessary etiquette.

"I'm talking about you, Xu Lingyin. You are the most rude."

Xu Lingyin, who did not eat elegantly, raised her head and said in confusion, "Then when Master and Sister Miaozhen came to visit, I also acted like this. Why didn't Mother say that I was rude?"

"How can it be the same? She is your second brother's future wife," his aunt said.

"What is a wife?" Xu Lingyin asked.

Second Uncle said, "Your mother is your father's wife. Do you understand?"

Xu Lingyin was shocked. "She wants to be my mother?"

Everyone lowered their heads to eat and gave up the idea of explaining the word "wife" to the little bean. In fact, it was indeed complicated to explain. Although "wife" was a noun, when men married a wife, they wanted to turn it into a verb.

The meaning behind it was too profound for a six-year-old child to understand.

"Anyway, as long as you behave and don't make trouble, Mother will take you to Fortune House to eat monkey brains," his aunt said.

Monkey brains were the signature dish of Fortune House.

"I want to eat monkey brains." Xu Lingyin's attention was indeed diverted.

"Brain."

"Monkey brains."

"…"

His aunt kept a straight face and did not say anything.

"Ahem!" Xu Erlang coughed to break the stiff atmosphere. He looked at Xu Qi 'an and said, "Brother, I have recently memorized a part of it. After dinner, come to my study room."

Xu Qi 'an was happy and nodded slowly. "Okay."

'I hope there are some clues in the former Emperor's daily records. Otherwise, I really don't know how to continue investigating. Maybe I can only give up …'

After dinner, the two brothers went into the study room and lit the candles. They sat at the desk, where Xu Erlang recited and Xu Qi 'an listened.

The former Emperor was an ordinary emperor. He did not do anything wrong, so he ascended to heaven. He was also quite gentle. He was a little obsessed with women and neglected politics. It was because of this that two Grand Secretaries were in power.

Now that he thought about it, the Yuanjing Emperor's power was monstrous and he was good at balance. He must have learned a lesson from the former Emperor.

The boring listening continued, and time passed. Suddenly, a conversation made Xu Qi 'an, who was about to fall asleep, wake up.

The former Emperor: Taoist Priest has a profound cultivation and is an immortal. Do you know the Yi Qi Turning San Qing?

Taoist Renzong: When it comes to the Yi Qi Turning San Qing, among the three sects, the Earth Sect is the best.

The former Emperor: It is said that the Earth Sect cultivates virtue and walks in the world of mortals. Can you introduce me to it?

Taoist Renzong: Sure!

"The former Emperor was very curious about the Yi Qi Turning San Qing … Hmm, the Dao Master of the Earth Sect during the time of the former Emperor should be the one who became a demon …"

As Xu Qi 'an thought about it, his body suddenly trembled and his expression froze.

The clone of the Dao Master of the Earth Sect was involved in the massacre in Chu Zhou City. The Yuanjing Emperor was in cahoots with the Dao Master of the Earth Sect. I have always wondered how Yuan Jing got in touch with the Dao Master of the Earth Sect.

So, the Dao Master of the Earth Sect has been to Jing City before … He must have been in contact with the former Emperor and the Yuanjing Emperor when he was a prince …

Sure enough, looking up the daily records of the previous emperor's era was correct. There were no problems with these details, and they were even trivial matters. However, it was because of these insignificant traces that they connected the cause and effect.

Xu Qi 'an listened carefully. To his disappointment, there was no information about the meeting between the former Emperor and the Dao Master of the Earth Sect.

The records were either erased or not in the palace, so Qi 'an was not with the Emperor.

As the candle burned out, Xu Erlang heaved a sigh. "I haven't had time to read the rest."

Xu Qi 'an immediately left the study and returned to his room.

…

Early in the morning.

Simu Wang sat in front of the dressing table. With the help of a maid, she combed her hair into the most fashionable bun. She drew on her eyebrows, touched her lips, applied a thin layer of pearl powder on her face, and applied a little bit of blush.

There was a hint of heavy makeup on her face, but it was exquisite and not flirtatious.

She put on a peach-colored palace dress, which was elegant and dignified. The expensive fabric and the complicated style added a touch of nobility to her look.

This attire was a result of careful consideration.

Everyone knew that the mistress of the Xu family was a woman with unfathomable thoughts. She was extremely cunning and would be Chen Fan's number one enemy in the future.

Therefore, if she used her identity as the first wife's daughter to show off, it would be easy for the other party to find a loophole and accuse Simu Wang of lacking upbringing.

Therefore, she had to keep a low profile and walk the path of moderation.

"I'm really looking forward to it …"

She was the first wife's daughter in the Wang family. When she was young, she had seen her mother fight with the favored concubines. She had also seen the arrogant concubines' daughters who tried to compete with her and take away her position.

However, when she was a young girl, these foul characters had all become a thing of the past.

Miss Wang's status in the Wang family was like that of Dugu Qiubai, sitting at the top of a mountain, and playing the zither in loneliness.

She had no rivals in the family, so she 'played' with the daughters of the rich outside. She had beaten the daughters of the noble families into submission and suppressed the princesses of the royal family. Among the female members of the high officials in the capital, the only person who could make Miss Wang feel inferior and fear was the eldest daughter of the Emperor, Huaiqing.

However, later on, she discovered that a woman that could not be underestimated was hidden in the tiny Xu family. And this woman might be her future mother-in-law.

The day before yesterday, when she received the invitation from the eldest daughter of the Xu family, Simu Wang knew that the matriarch of the Xu family intended to formally meet her.

This was both a good and a bad thing.

The good thing was that the matriarch of the Xu family finally approved of her and thought that she was a satisfactory daughter-in-law.

The bad thing was that this invitation was likely to be filled with killing intent and every step would be filled with trepidation. If she did not deal with it well and fell into a disadvantageous position, it was very likely that she would be suppressed in the future.

However, it was precisely because of this that it was interesting.

Miss Wang was a woman who liked to fight. Her brain was filled with intelligence but she could not display it. If her future mother-in-law was an ordinary person, then it would be too boring.

The Xu family's young lady who appeared weak but was actually a scheming person.

The talented and eloquent Xu Erlang.

And the Xu family that all the nobles and dukes of the court feared and that even the Emperor hated to the point of gnashing his teeth.

To be able to teach such a junior, the matriarch of the Xu family was truly an opponent that made one tremble in fear.

"But it is precisely because of this that it is worth looking forward to."

Simu Wang led her maids and squires into the carriage valiantly and energetically, as if she was a female general who led an army into battle.

…

Xu Qi'an sat in the hall and ate a pork knuckle with soy sauce. Lina and Xu Lingyin came over to eat.

His aunt was ordering the servants in the house to sweep the courtyard and sweep away the cobwebs …

"Make it clean. She is the daughter of the Grand Secretary and has a noble status. You can't be rude and let her look down on you. Xu Ningyan, Xu Lingyin!! "

His aunt turned her head and saw that her nephew and daughter were secretly eating the vegetables she bought in the restaurant. She was instantly furious.

"Are you two trying to anger me to death? You're good, Xu Ningyan. You're always sloppy and haven't found a girl you like. Are you jealous that Erlang is one step ahead of you?"

Aunt, you misunderstand. I'll bring you to my fish pond to row a boat next time. It's full of ferocious sharks and crocodiles …

His aunt chased her nephew and daughter out of the hall and continued to lead the servants to busy themselves.

In order to leave a good impression on the daughter of the Wang family, in order to establish a peaceful relationship, his aunt had put in a lot of effort.
