The Great Xia Dynasty was founded for nearly a thousand years, since Emperor Taizu, the capital was Lin'an, and every subsequent generation of kings, including today's saints, is sitting in the capital and looking down on the territory of Kyushu.

Lin'an is located in one of the Kyushu Donghua Prefecture, if you look at it from the territory map, it is just located in the center of Kyushu, Lin'an City is surrounded by eight directions, there are nine small mountain ranges that stretch for nearly a thousand miles, the shape is like nine dragons, the shape is like the sky. The nine mountain ranges are also the nine leyline dragons, which settle in Kyushu and provide the fortune of a country with thousands of miles of territory.

There are even rumors that these nine mountain ranges were originally nine real dragons, but they were beaten into the world with great mana and imprisoned as nine dragon veins, which determined the fortune of a country and blessed the royal family with incense for thousands of years. Qiao Chen'an was quite interested in this statement, but what he wanted to know was what kind of person had such a big skill to be able to subdue the Nine Dragons and create spiritual veins?

Half a day, with the speed at which Qiao Chen'an drove the clouds, he had crossed thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and looking ahead, he could already vaguely see the outline of a giant city, which looked like a creeping giant beast from a distance.

The so-called Wangshan ran away from the dead horse, even if Qiao Chen'an urged the mana again, but when he arrived near Lin'an City, it was already an hour later, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that a huge city was wanton and ferocious.

It is said that it is wanton and ferocious, just because the scale of Lin'an City is too huge, much larger than Qiao Chen'an expected before he came here, even with his eyesight, at a glance, he can't see the end of its city wall, only a black line extends into the distance, and there is no end in sight.

He looked down above the clouds and saw thousands of households in the city, and the streets with eight frames were full of traffic, and the people were like flowing water.

But what surprised him the most was not these, but the structure of the pavilions, which were not ordinary ancient pavilions, where pavilions of more than ten floors could be found everywhere, and all of them had balconies-like spaces. Some of the buildings are also connected to the high-altitude passages, and the faint sound of rotation is heard, and the passages will be moved, transferred, and docked to the entrances and exits of other pavilions for people to walk on.

At this moment, there was a sudden gust of crazy wind in the far sky, Qiao Chenan turned his head to look, his eyes showed a look of surprise, only to see a giant cyan bird with a wingspan of several feet flying towards the city, the speed was extremely fast, and there was a clear sound of clutching in his ears.

It turned out that the cyan giant bird was not a living thing, but just a magical product of mechanical arts, and the cyan giant bird was made of unknown materials, with distinct feathers, independent roots, and a streamer flickering, shining in the sunlight.

The beak of a bird is like a silver hook, its feet are like the claws of an eagle, and its tail feathers are slender.

The cyan giant bird flashed outside the clouds where Qiao Chen'an was hiding, and its speed was amazing, and a gust of wind rolled up between the swings of its wings, and it rushed straight into the sky above Lin'an City.

"I don't know whose car this is?" He was a little curious in his heart, although the mechanism technique was used to a great extent in Lin'an City, but there were probably not many people who were qualified to ride such a machine bird.

Qiao Chenan suppressed the surprise in his heart, found a no-man's land, fell according to the clouds, collected the spell, re-propped up the oil umbrella in his hand, blocked the sunlight, and accompanied Wu Qiuyue beside him to the city, but at this moment, he suddenly had a feeling of being watched by someone out of thin air.

Qiao Chen was puzzled in peace of mind, looking left and right, but did not find the slightest.

Wu Qiuyue saw his actions, and said puzzledly: "What is Xianggong looking for?" Qiao Chenan shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Let's go!" Maybe it was just his own illusion before.

Among the cyan giant birds, an old man withdrew his gaze to look at Qiao Chen'an, but heard a young man wearing a high crown beside him say, "What is the master looking at?" Following the old man's gaze, he only saw pedestrians in the city like ants, and Qiao Chen'an was no longer there.

The old man had gray hair, his figure was not tall, his face was wrinkled, he had three strands of beard under his chin, and he was wearing a purple python robe, and he smiled lightly: "I saw something interesting." ”

The young man sighed in surprise, he knew what kind of status the old man in front of him was, and there were not many things in the world that could be put into his eyes, and what he had seen before would make him say such a sentence. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a woman sitting not far away, and said, "Hauni, how much time has passed, why are you still like this every day?"

Liu Hongni looked straight ahead, and after hearing the young man's words, there was not much emotional fluctuation on his face, and he didn't say a word, pursed his lips.

The young man seemed to be a little annoyed by Liu Hongni's attitude, and said: "Isn't it just two waste people, if you die, you will die, why do you care so much, with your talent, it won't be long before you ......"

"Shut up!"

Before the young man's words were finished, he was interrupted by an angry shout, Liu Hongni's cheeks were red, her beautiful eyes were upside down, she stared at the man with anger on her face, gritted her teeth and said: "Li Zhengyang, you are not qualified to say that the two of them are waste! They will die to save me! I, I watched the two of them turn into blood mist like that, but they couldn't do anything......" The voice became smaller and smaller, and the eyes were red.

Looking at the aura on his body, it is already the second turn of Jindan.

The old man just smiled and looked at the two arguing around him with interest, but he never said a word.

......

Qiao Chen'an entered the city gate, and more clearly perceived the difference of Lin'an City, walking on the street, you can see the changes brought about by the mechanism almost everywhere, and there is a feeling of "rejuvenating the country with science and technology" in later generations.

Wu Qiuyue was originally from Lin'an, and when she came here again after many years, she felt a little emotional, and her face was a little more nostalgic, guiding Qiao Chen'an on the way.

Half an hour later, turning two noisy streets, and finally entering a wide alley, Qiao Chenan looked at it, and saw that near the end of the alley, the plaque at the main entrance of a high-gate compound was engraved with the five big characters of "Rite Ministry Shilang Mansion", and he knew in his heart that this was Wu Qiuyue's home.

Coming to the front of the house, two tall and mighty Shishi town houses, Zhumen plaques, painted dot paintings, but the door was tightly closed, Qiao Chen'an stepped forward, and wanted to knock on the door, but was pulled by Wu Qiuyue.

Looking back, I saw that she was biting her lower lip gently, with uneasiness in her eyes, looking at herself with a nervous expression.

Qiao Chenan took her palm, gently stroked it in her palm, and cast a reassuring look, and then knocked on the door.

But for a moment, only a squeak was heard, and a crack was removed from the door of the mansion, and a young man in Tsing Yi poked his head out, looked at Qiao Chen'an in front of the door with a little scrutiny, and said, "Who are you?

Qiao Chen'an said: "I am a scholar in Hangzhou, please go back to your family, and say that I have something important to ask to see below." ”

The little guy glanced at him suspiciously, and saw that he was indeed dressed as a scholar, and there was a bookish air in his conversation, and he believed seven points in his heart, but his own master was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites of the Dynasty, and the official was in a high position, so how could he be a random scholar who could see him if he wanted to? If he came and saw him, the threshold of the gate of Wufu must not be broken?

With a roll of his eyes, he immediately refused: "It's too unfortunate, it's not the right time for you to come, my squire is not at home, come back tomorrow!"

Wu Qiuyue's expression was a little gloomy, and she said, "Since that's the case, Xianggong, then let's come back tomorrow!"

Qiao Chen'an saw the look of the little guy in Tsing Yi, his heart moved slightly, and he knew that what he said was not true, but he just took a step forward, and his left foot was stuck in the gap between the two doors, and the little guy said angrily: "You scholar, you are so unreasonable, don't retreat quickly!"

Qiao Chenan smiled lightly: "Little brother, don't worry. He took out a silver ingot from his bosom, played with it twice in his hand, and said, "Let me ask you again, I don't know if Lord Shilang is in the mansion now?"

When the little girl in Tsing Yi saw the silver in Qiao Chen'an's hand, his eyes immediately lit up, and he was reluctant to move away from it, and said a little eagerly: "Yes, yes, of course! I'll go to report it, as for whether my lord sees it or not, it's not up to me to decide!"

Qiao Chenan smiled: "You don't have to worry about this." Throwing out the silver taels in his hand, the little guy happily took it, put it in his mouth and bit it, and after confirming that it was not a fake, he went.

After the little guy left, Wu Qiuyue's face was a little blushing, and she whispered: "Xianggong, my father is definitely not such a person...... as if he was worried that Qiao Chenan would mistakenly think that his father was the same as this janitor, but he was greedy for money and profit.

Qiao Chenan smiled: "Don't worry, I am still very confident in my father-in-law's character." He didn't pay much attention to the janitor's behavior, it was just human nature.

He could have used his supernatural powers to enter the Wu Mansion directly, but he didn't, except for wanting to make a good impression on his future father-in-law, there were other reasons. As the saying goes, God has the way of God, Buddha has the way of Buddha, ghosts have the way of ghosts, all things have their own way, and since he is in the world, he should walk the way of the world.

In fact, he was ready to be rejected, and at that time, it would not be too late to cast the occult method.

Wu Qiuyue's face turned a little redder when she said this, and she said curiously: "Xianggong, how do you know that my father is in the house." ”

Qiao Chen'an glanced at the closed door, as if he wanted to see the scene through the barrier of the wooden door, "I don't know!"

It's just the way of the world.

It didn't take long for the little guy in Tsing Yi to turn around, open the door of the house, and said with a smile: "Son, please come in, my lord is invited!"

Qiao Chenan led Wu Qiuyue to follow, in fact, there was no need for a little girl to lead the way, Wu Qiuyue grew up in this mansion since she was a child, and she couldn't be more familiar with it.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of her, this familiar grass and trees, familiar bricks and tiles, on the branches of a peach tree in the corner, and her swing from childhood to adulthood. How many nights have I seen a scene in a dream, but now I finally really appear in my own world, and in addition to infinite joy and excitement, I can't believe it.

Unconsciously, he had passed through several courtyards, and finally came to the main hall living room, and the little maid led the way here, and said "The master is in the hall" and retreated.

Qiao Chenan took Wu Qiuyue's palm and slowly walked into this spacious hall, and at a glance saw the figure sitting in the middle, it was Wu Qiuyue's father, the court's waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was lowering his head at this time, looking at a piece of rice paper on the table.

"You want to come and see this poem?" After hearing Qiao Chen'an's footsteps, Wu Siming did not look up, his eyes still fell on the rice paper.

Qiao Chen'an stepped forward, and when he saw the content on the paper, he was not only a little surprised, but also saw that the four lines of poetry were neatly written on the rice paper, and the content was the palindromic poem he had made when he was competing with the students of Baiyuan Academy in Hangzhou.

At this time, I only heard Wu Siming sigh: "There is such a delicate and wonderful poem in the world, and the old man really has only seen it in his life! How did such a wonderful poem come up with it, it is really terrifying!"

sighed for a while, but he didn't know that the afterlife in his mouth was in front of him, and he was still immersed in the study of poetry on paper, and it seemed that he was also a person who was obsessed with poetry and poetry.

Qiao Chen'an saw that his father-in-law ignored him, and never looked at him from beginning to end, so he said: "Xianglian blue water is cool and the water is cool, and the summer is long. Under the long sun, the cool breeze moves the water, and the cool breeze moves the water with the fragrance of blue lotus. ”

Wu Siming's eyes were still on the rice paper on the table, and after a while, he suddenly sighed softly, and then Huo Ran raised his head, stared at Qiao Chen'an tightly, and said excitedly and surprised: "What did you just say!? Say it again!"

Qiao Chenan had no choice but to recount what Fang Cai said again, and at the same time took the opportunity to look at his father-in-law, the middle-aged man in front of him was a little taller, with a thick back, dressed in regular clothes, there were already a lot of white hair on his head, and there seemed to be a touch of bitterness between his eyebrows, which was the demeanor that only people who had experienced all kinds of situations in the world and experienced joy and sorrow would have.

The moment Wu Qiuyue saw this figure, tears flowed down uncontrollably, compared to a few years ago, her father was much older.

After listening to Qiao Chen'an's words, Wu Siming first savored the artistic conception, and his eyes gradually bloomed with surprise, looked at Qiao Chen'an, and said: "Good knowledge! I thought it would be rare to see such a poem in my life, but I didn't expect it to be an eye-opener today!"

Wu Siming looked at the young man in front of him, and saw that although his face was not particularly handsome, there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, he was tall and handsome, his eyes were bright, and there seemed to be stars dotted among them, and his body was shrouded in a distant and insignificant temperament, and he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "You said that you are from Hangzhou?"

Qiao Chenan nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Wu Siming's expression was a little more joyful, and said, "Then do you know the person who made this poem?" As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something, and looked at Qiao Chenan in disbelief: "Could it be you?"
