【Chapter 395】 Houhu Jade City
"I see. Lu Zheng secretly wrote down this name in his heart, and his whereabouts were imminent. Although he had cultivated to the point of great wrath, he was still a little short of lighting up the point of enlightenment......
The toxins in Zhaoyuan River had already been cleaned by Lu Zheng when he arrived. From the Zhaoyuan River into the Xixiu River, and then from the Xixiu River to find all the branches of the Qingjiang River one by one, to eliminate the scope of poisonous water to the greatest extent.
Because of the dragon king's apparition, the dragon king worship in the areas along the Qingjiang River has reached the extreme, and large and small dragon king temples can be seen everywhere. But now, these dragon king temples have been damaged to varying degrees, the more gorgeous the temples are destroyed, the more completely destroyed, but some inconspicuous small temples have been preserved.
After a closer examination of these small temples, a rather strange phenomenon was discovered. Some of the destroyed temples did not have traces of malicious rage, but traces left by some manual destruction, because Lu Zheng even found damaged iron picks and shovels in some ruins.
For seven days, even the temple was destroyed and the water source was contaminated. Even if these ordinary people no longer believe in the Dragon King, they will not have the courage to come and destroy the Dragon King Temple together.
What's more, Lu Zheng purified the toxins in the river as soon as possible. After that, with the guidance of the government, the problem of poisonous water has long ceased to exist, and it has not caused too many casualties.
"Zhang Yueming, you have been in Shuangqiao Town for many days, do you have any clues about the White Snake?"
"Returning to the ancestral master, there is!" Zhang Yueming and Ruan Yunzhou have both experienced brutal wars and have a lot of social experience. When they arrived in Shuangqiao Town, they did not wait on the spot, but quickly began to investigate the destroyed temple.
Their findings are consistent with Lu Zheng's, some of the temples are done by the thief himself, a small number of temples are rebellion, and some of the temples that leave evidence of iron picks and shovels, they have different opinions.
It is indeed the temple that the people destroyed.
But the truth is not that these people are bold, but that they have fallen into evil. They visited several villages around the temple. The night before the incident, dozens of villagers had not returned overnight and were found outside the village the next morning. When they woke up, they smelled, but none of them could remember what they had done that night.
After the two of them turned into veterans and personally treated them, they concluded that these people had been possessed by yin qi and had been manipulated. It is a poisonous thing, and it is good at making the Yin Soul Yin Soldiers. Nine times out of ten, it's what it does. According to Zhang Yueming and Ruan Yunzhou's investigation of the distribution range of the evil spirit, traces of snake walking were indeed found, and the approximate route was deduced from this.
It is centered on the Qingjiang Dragon King Temple and goes upriver along the Qingjiang River. After reaching the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River, the traces disappeared completely. But according to Zhang Yueming's calculations, the white snake likes yin, and it must be the place where it folds to Shanyin.
They did not rush into the mountain, but relied on the ability of feng shui to survey the direction of the mountain, and determined that at least six earth eyes where yin qi gathered, all of which could be the hiding place of the white snake.
"Where are you now?"
"I was about to leave for Hanwu. ”
"Wait a little while, and I'll go over and join you at once. Examine every place it might be hiding. ”
"Master Zu, what about the Panlong Ancient City?"
Lin Xinmiao's whereabouts are unknown, and Lu Zheng will definitely not ignore her. He is now in the middle of the Yangtze River, and the city of Hanwu happens to be on his way back to the Qingjiang River. Just go to explore the ancient city of Panlong.
Hanwu City is the famous thoroughfare of nine provinces in China, according to many tributaries of the Yangtze River, whether it is north, south, east and west, it is unusually usual. Of course, Lu Zheng's impression of the city of Hanwu is not only the Yangtze River. It's hot dry noodles and Wuchang fish.
Lu Zheng had been here before, and not long ago, he had completely destroyed the secret base of the Huiyun Group.
The so-called ancient city of Panlong is actually a small part of it that has only recently been excavated from the ground. Relying on the banks of the Panlong River and surrounded by water on three sides, for Lu Zheng, it is simply tailor-made.
Thousands of acres of Panlong Lake, Nanjiefu River, east of the Yangtze River, backed by the famous Jingchu mountain Mulan Mountain, the shape of the lake is like a dragon entrenched between the Hanwu City and the airport.
Legend has it that in ancient times, Panlong Lake was much larger than the current area, and there was another 10,000 acres of Houhu Lake in addition to a thousand hectares. Panlong City is the ancient city of Yin Shang and the first city of the Yangtze River, with a long history. According to legend, during the Shang Dynasty, Houhu Lake was the place where the queen often bathed, hence the name Queen's Lake.
In China, almost all place names related to dragons have legends about dragons. Panlong Lake is no exception, it is said that after the completion of Panlong City, the queen and many concubines bathed in the lake, and suddenly the wind was fierce, the lightning danced and thundered, and it rained heavily. In the midst of the rainstorm, a dragon jumped up from the lake, hovered and soared, danced in the air, and meandered and boiled on the top of Pingdingshan and Brass Mountain.
After the wind and rain, the sun shines and the weather is thousands.
In addition to the thousands of acres of blue waves of Panlong Lake, there is also a 21,000 acres of back lake, because of a beautiful legend, later people simply called the ancient Panlong Lake and the back lake together Panlong Lake. There are two theories about the origin of Houhu. One says that it is in the rear of Panlong City, so it is called "Hou Lake"; one says that in the Shang Dynasty, this is the place where the queen often bathes, so it is called "(Huang) Hou Lake", referred to as "Hou Lake". Legend has it that after the completion of Panlong City, one day, the queen and her concubines were swimming and bathing in the lake, suddenly the wind was fierce, thunder and lightning, and it was pouring rain, they were terrified, and quickly ran to a hillside by the lake to hide in the bushes, and after a while, a dragon jumped up from the lake, and circled and soared, dancing between the Pingding Mountain and the Brass Mountain, and finally flew to the southeast. After the wind and rain, the sun shines and the weather is thousands.
Of course, legends are just legends. Today's Panlong Lake is only a famous lake in the Han Dynasty, and it has gradually attracted the attention of the world with the appearance of the ancient city of Panlong.
As for the back lake where the legendary queen bathed, it has long since ceased to exist.
Nine provinces thoroughfare, eight sides accessible. Panlong Lake is the spiritual cave of the Yangtze River, the spirit of the earth, and nourishes all things. Therefore, Hanwu has been an important town on the Yangtze River since ancient times, and it is prosperous and prosperous.
Diving into Panlong Lake, Lu Zheng did feel that the water source here was different, although the aura nurtured in it was not as good as the spiritual water, but compared to the source of the living water, it was not bad.
The ancient city of Panlong may have been extremely prosperous in the past, but now it is only a few earthen walls, barely maintaining a general pattern, and there is nothing surprising about it.
There was no trace of Lin Xinmiao in the city, but when Lu Zheng inspected Panlong Lake, he made an unexpected discovery. In the silt layer of Panlong Lake, a large number of Yin Shang antiquities are buried.
In addition to bronze spears, bronze tripod vessels, goose, jue, and other utensils, there are also a lot of jade vessels. Yin Shang advocates Kui Long, and many of these antiquities are depicted with Kui Dragon Pattern, Double Dragon Pattern, Gluttonous Pattern, Xiangyun Pattern or Thunder Pattern.
However, because these antiquities are in the mud at the bottom of the lake, most of them are rotten, except for a few unique dragon ornaments, which really can't arouse Lu Zheng's interest.
One of the hook-shaped Kui Long ornaments, the jade is moist, the carving is exquisite, the horns, eyes and teeth of the Kui Dragon are made of gold, even if it has been thousands of years, it still contains luster.
Thousands of acres of Panlong Lake, Lu Zheng only took less than an hour to search every corner clearly. Just as he was about to leave, his heart suddenly moved, and he used his magic to probe the direction of the rumored Panlong Houhu.
The location of the lake has now been replaced by land, but the groundwater resources are extremely abundant. The tentacles of the Secret Technique went all the way deep into the ground, and suddenly, Lu Zheng's heart jumped.
Hundreds of meters underground, there was an amazing discovery.
An ancient city!
A city made of pearl and white jade!
The palaces, pavilions, city walls, and streets are all made of all kinds of beautiful jade. An underground river rushes through the city.
This is definitely not a city built by mortals!(To be continued.) )
