Chapter Ten: The Hidden Dragon Bows Its Head, One Leap and It Becomes a Dragon
The capital of Izumo Province, the river winds and twists around it, with a mountain in the city, giving people a sense of leaning on a mountain. On the left is a satellite castle, presenting the image of a blue dragon, while on the right is another satellite castle, presenting the image of a white tiger.
"Not bad, not bad, the Izumo Province is indeed a treasure land of Feng Shui. With a mountain at its back, a green dragon on the left, a white tiger on the right, a case mountain in front, and a bright hall in the middle, the water flows in curves, hiding the wind and gathering energy to bring good fortune and wealth to the people, with unparalleled prosperity and nobility. The vast outside world can hold ten thousand horses, leading to future generations' prosperity and good fortune extending far and wide."
This country of Izumo is probably more magnificent than any city in its own world, and it's even more majestic than the Great Wall.
Lady Huayang, however, didn't notice anything and scolded, "What auspicious land of wealth and fortune, prosperity and good luck, I haven't seen this Cloud Country become powerful, the ruler of this Cloud Country is still just an ordinary person."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao smiled but didn't speak, merely pointing at a distant place shrouded in mist and cloud, his expression full of profound meaning.
"That's where the Yuntai Gate is located, what insight do you have?" Madame Huayang asked suspiciously.
"The dragon and tiger are coiled, the rising image, receiving the dragon energy of the big city, everywhere suppressing the big city's head. Even if it is a Feng Shui treasure land, it has become an ordinary place. Look at the palace in the center of the big city, although it is magnificent, but facing the gate where the cloud comes out, one high and one low, forming a humble and submissive image. The ruler of this country will naturally be ordinary people from generation to generation, and cannot be a cultivator." Qin Hao explained in detail.
Lady Huayang took a look and indeed it was the case, and she knew that the ruler of a country could not possibly be a cultivator. This was an unwritten rule in Donglong, even the emperors of the Qiankun Empire were ordinary people. Ministers could have cultivators among them, but the emperor absolutely could not be a cultivator. This was because during the era of the various kings, the eight great kingdoms of the Zhongtu dynasty rose to power and became regional hegemons, quietly rivaling the Great Church and on par with the nine noble families.
So whether it is Donglong or Xiyu Jingtu, there will be no existence of a master country.
"What's the use of seeing it, this is something you can't change. A mortal cannot become a master of the country, and cannot suddenly rise to immortality." Huayang Madame said coldly, this was the rule of Donglong, once a national master cultivates, they will be directly killed without mercy, if there is a sect that shelters them, it will be directly exterminated.
"Haha, can't change it?" Qin Hao shook his head: "This situation is just an unfinished game."
"What do you mean?" Madame Huayang asked in surprise.
"You're really stupid, I don't know how you managed to become king." Qin Hao said sarcastically.
"Then you tell me how to change it?" Lady Huayang said angrily, but still managed to hold back.
"If I were to change this situation, first I would remove the case mountain in front and move away the leaning mountain behind, changing the overall trend of heaven and earth. Then I would add a ring of protection around the Zhuque and Xuanwu two guardian cities, raise the central palace, and turn it into the Cloud Gate that bows its head in submission. Adding to that, the flowing water would be like a dragon encountering water and transforming into a dragon. At that time, the dragon would rise to the nine states, gathering the dragon veins of the Cloud Gate, and it would once again become a place where a dynasty prospers." Qin Hao seemed to wave his brush, and with a point in the air, a scene of rippling water appeared.
In an instant, the entire situation seemed to have undergone a drastic change. Lady Huayang was taken aback, and if Qin Hao's words were true, it would indeed be another prosperous place for the imperial court.
To know that in the Central Plains, it is like this: nine families assist eight dynasties, and the nine families are those who surrender to the dynasty. This pattern, she has seen it in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in Donglong, this is absolutely a taboo, just like an ordinary person disobeying the imperial edict. It's just that this situation is as Qin Hao said, it's just an unfinished situation.
"Does the Lord of Izumo really think he can defy the great taboo?" Lady Huayang muttered to herself.
"Haha, it should be said that the Yunmen wants to do something, rather than the country of Yunyue." Qin Hao made a clear statement, setting up such a heaven-defying situation. If a master were to see through this, the Yunyue country would immediately face the fate of being destroyed, but in reality, there aren't many Feng Shui masters in this world who can actually understand this Feng Shui layout.
The most striking thing is the central gate of this big city, which is actually in a sitting north and facing south pattern. This is completely the momentum of the emperor's feet, overlooking all directions.
And the gate of Ichinoseki in the distance, Qin Hao guessed that it would be a south-facing north-sitting layout, which was exactly opposite this big city. In other words, on the surface, it seemed that the lord of Ichinoseki did not care about the king, but in fact, the status of the lord of Ichinoseki at Ichinoseki even surpassed that of the gate master.
In Feng Shui layout, south is considered supreme, while north symbolizes failure and submission.
The seats of the emperors are all facing north and south, when the emperor faces south to show respect, while on the contrary, after being defeated in battle, they surrender to others and face north to show subordination, so there is also a saying "defeated north" in common language.
Because the due south direction is so honorable, when ordinary people build houses, no one dares to take the due south direction of the meridian line, they are all slightly east or west, lest they offend the taboo and be executed.
The current position of the palace in Dacheng is facing south and bowing to one side, whereas compared to Yunchuan Gate, it should be facing north and bowing to Dacheng. Now, however, Yunchuan Gate faces north and bows to this side, submitting to Dacheng. Just this alone is enough to bring disaster to the Yunchuan Gate.
It's just that no one noticed, and the monks didn't understand Feng Shui at all. Even if they met a few who did, Out Cloud Gate would explain it slightly, and I'm sure nothing bad would happen. This is already a big deal, and they can just say it's a coincidence.
Only Qin Hao saw the difference at a glance. This layout was fine and intricate, with each part linked to the others, capable of turning life into death or death into life.
"This Izumo Gate was originally a national master inheritance, and the Izumo Gate is controlled in the hands of the Izumo national master. Whoever becomes the national master will be an ordinary person. This point is obvious to the great teacher, but now it seems that this Izumo Gate wants to establish a dynasty." said Huayang Furen coldly.
"It seems you're not stupid either." Qin Hao said with a tone that was unclear whether it was praise or sarcasm.
"Hmph." Lady Huayang ignored Qin Hao, holding a few yuan stones in her hand, and began to carve the meridians.
Qin Hao looked at him strangely and asked: "What are you doing?"
"The Grandmaster of Tongxin Sect is at the Cloud Gate, he should be eliminated." said Huayang Madame coldly.
"Enough, stop." Qin Hao grasped her slender hand: "You are now my maid, what do you have to do with the great teachings? If he wants to establish a dynasty after leaving the Yunmen School, let him. Can't the East Dragon Seven Teachings even handle this?"
"Then..." Lady Huayang's face turned red at first, but after hearing Qin Hao say this, she felt that it was indeed reasonable. With the strength of Yunmen, an upper-class sect, what waves could they stir up?
But she suddenly thought of Qin Hao's words, and her eyes immediately turned cold again. She shook off Qin Hao's hand, turned her back on him, and seemed to be observing the situation like Qin Hao did earlier. However, after looking for half a day, there was no clue. All the things Qin Hao said earlier had vanished into thin air.
"Is it really the Nine Gates Alliance? Is it truly the Nine Gates Alliance?" Qin Hao also calmed down: "On the surface, this Cloud Gate absolutely does not have the strength to contend with the Great Sect, however..."
Qin Hao gazed into the distance, suddenly thinking of something. After the Ming Wang's inheritance, if he could obtain what was in the Ming Wang's tomb, it would be enough to establish a great sect. This was the true intention of the Yunmen Gate, secretly and quietly doing everything behind the scenes.
If it weren't for witnessing the grandeur of this city, Qin Hao probably wouldn't have thought of so many things. However, Qin Hao naturally wouldn't tell Huayang Furen about it; this woman would unintentionally leak out his secrets, and if that happened, the entire Chuyun Gate would be destroyed. Moreover, he wanted to see a kingdom standing tall in the Central Plains, and at that time, the Great Church would have its hands full. He was still waiting for a good show.
"No, does the Yunmen sect have to get what's in King Ming's tomb?" Madame Huayang suddenly said, which scared Qin Hao a lot. This woman suddenly became clever.
"They didn't pass down the necessary techniques for gathering spiritual energy, how can they be sure of success?" Qin Hao retorted.
"No." Lady Huayang looked at Qin Hao with determination, apparently not misled by Qin Hao. She continued: "This variable lies in the Jiumen Conference, which has been held hundreds of times in Yun Country. Is it just for competing for the dragon vein and making a balance?"
"What do you mean?" Qin Hao asked in confusion.
"The reason why the Yunchuan Gate is holding the Nine Gates Alliance is to find that person who possesses the hidden breath of transformation, and that person is you. If you become the master of the Yunchuan country, everything will be settled, and it will naturally follow that you will obtain the Mingwang inheritance. With your aura in the Yunchuan Gate, you will surely be a true dragon among men, and with one leap, you will transform into a dragon." Madam Huayang smiled.
"Haha, you really are rich in imagination." Qin Hao shook his head from time to time, the hidden dragon bowed its head and transformed into a dragon. This was absolutely not referring to him, because he had seen the connection between the Yún Cloud Gate and the Great City's destiny meridians, and had long since had the image of the hidden dragon, so this hidden dragon would absolutely not be him.
At this moment, Huayang Madame was filled with murderous intentions towards Qin Hao, giving him a reckless feeling, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts. The Northern Dipper Seven Sects would never allow a dynasty to rise in the East Dragon.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not interested in being the master of any dynasty." Qin Hao didn't want to explain anything. His destiny was connected to the Mystic Gate, not the Cloud Exit Gate. Even if he were to establish something, it wouldn't be a dynasty.
"Don't think about it, if you do, you will absolutely die." Madame Huayang threatened: "Even if I don't care about the danger of demonic possession, I will still kill you."
"So, are you going to kill me?" Qin Hao's words were suffocating. Hua Yang's wife's gaze was completely different; women always liked to speak one way and think another. If she really wanted to kill him, she probably wouldn't have waited until now.
"you..." Madame Huayang naturally knew what Qin Hao was thinking.
"Let's go and have some fun in the big city, I'm too lazy to keep arguing with you here." Qin Hao said, and went down. Lady Huayang also followed him, pouting her mouth.
But in fact, Qin Hao was thinking, what is the real intention of the so-called Jiumen Alliance? If it's just about competing for the dragon vein and ranking, Qin Hao wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death. However, at the moment he landed, Qin Hao suddenly thought of something, and then his heart felt relieved...
