Chapter 274 The Feng Shui of Jingjue Ancient City

After two thousand years, the ancient city of Jingjue, which had been buried under the yellow sand for many years, was now found by the two of them.

Looking at a city of this size from a distance, it would not be crowded even if there were 100,000 people living there.

So at that time, one hundred thousand people could have at least an army of five thousand. No wonder the Jingjue Kingdom could rule the thirty-six countries in the Western Region.

The thirty-six countries in the Western Region are thirty-six countries, rather than thirty-six tribes or thirty-six cities. They are only cities with ten thousand people at most, and cities with less than a thousand people.

This shows how shocking the ancient city of Jingjue was in the Western Regions at that time during its most powerful period.

The two of them went deep into the city and saw that most of the buildings were so damaged that no traces of chiseling could be seen, and there were traces of wind erosion everywhere.

The city has been buried by wind and sand for many years. Even during the windy season, it is not easy to tell whether most of the exposed buildings are sand dunes or buildings. After all, many of them have been weathered and collapsed!

One feeling is that it is very desolate!

Jiang Yang took Hua Ling'er to find a hard highland and set up camp. It was already dark, so he was not in a hurry to find Jingjue Palace.

Under the yellow sand here, if you dig casually, you should be able to dig out a mummy or skeleton.

The once glorious ancient city of Jingjue was buried by a black sandstorm during the war, before the residents had time to evacuate.

Therefore, most people did not die in the war, but died at the hands of nature and were buried under the yellow sand.

Of course Jiang Yang would not do something so shameless as digging up mummies. There might be dangerous black-scaled monster snakes under the yellow sand.

Protection must be done well, even if it is wasted, insect repellent should be sprinkled around.

After dinner, Jiang Yang and Hua Ling'er started chatting.

"The air here is too dry. No matter how beautiful you are, your skin will become rough when you get here." Hua Ling'er said a little aggrievedly. After staying in the desert for nearly ten days, her skin had become much drier.

[You may need to wipe it with a lot of water later to moisturize it. 】

"You weren't so pretty before, why are you so worried now?" Jiang Yang said with a smile.

"Hmph!" Hua Ling'er snorted dissatisfiedly: "Who am I doing this for?" 】

As the saying goes, a woman only cares about her appearance to please her, and a wife cares about her beauty, not just to fulfill her husband's love for beauty.

"Practice hard! Once your cultivation reaches a high enough level, you will be immune to all the intrusions of nature." Jiang Yang said encouragingly.

It's easy to say, but very difficult to implement.

"Hey..." Hua Ling'er also understood this truth, sighed, took out an apple and took a bite.

She suddenly thought of something, and turned to Jiang Yang and asked: "Brother, in a place like this where birds don't poop, what on earth did the ancestors who lived here eat?"

"In ancient times, this place was not entirely such a harsh environment. At that time, there should be many oases around, where you could grow some fruits and vegetables, and there were also fish and shrimp in the underground river. In addition, caravans traveled through the desert every day, transporting goods from outside. Bring back the food." Jiang Yang thought for a while and roughly recounted some memories in this regard.

"It turns out that our ancestors lived in such hardship every day!" Hua Ling'er sighed, and put herself into the ancient life, and then shuddered and was afraid.

Who can bear to face the sky full of yellow sand every day?

"Don't think about it. Go wash up and rest. Finish your work quickly and leave here as soon as possible." Jiang Yang stroked Hua Ling'er's head, but felt that her hair was a little rough, probably because it was contaminated with sand and dust.

Hua Ling'er noticed Jiang Yang's strangeness, rolled her eyes at him, and walked into the tent.

Next, the two took turns keeping vigil.

Jiang Yang regretted leaving the angry-eyed phoenix at home, otherwise they wouldn't have to work so hard, and Xiaofeng would be on duty at night! Early the next morning, after the sky was bright, the two of them had something to eat to rest their internal organs, and then began to explore the desolate ancient city of Jingjue.

They are now looking for the temple, which is a symbol of the ancient civilization of the Western Regions.

In the ancient countries of the Western Regions, temples were generally built in the middle of the city, and there were usually underground palaces underneath the temples, and there must be underground rivers in the underground palaces.

The underground river belongs to water, the water of Feng Shui.

The choice of site to build a temple of faith above the underground river was based on the Feng Shui pattern.

After half a day, the two of them went deep into the ruins. Jiang Yang soon discovered a towering stone tower with a sculpture on the top that looked like an eye.

"Like human eyes." Hua Ling'er also looked at it in surprise.

Jiang Yang took Hua Ling'er to the high slope, changed several angles, and when he looked at the top of the tower, he discovered the significance of building this stone tower.

The stone tower stands tall and is inserted right into the gap of Cishan.

Feeling Hua Ling'er's doubtful look, Jiang Yang explained to her: "Does Cishan look like a black dragon? In ancient times, emperors prepared mausoleums for themselves a hundred years from the time they ascended the throne. If there is really something underneath this ancient city If there are underground water veins, it will echo with the Yagrama Mountain from a distance, forming a dynamic and still movement."

"The culture of the Western Regions is similar to that of the West. Countries often place the tombs of royal members in cities, unlike the Han people in the Central Plains who built tombs on mountains and hills."

"This Cishan black dragon is so ferocious that the authorities deliberately cut off the mountain ridge and cut the black dragon in half. Then they used this tower as a nail to nail the black dragon here, leaving it here forever to defend this ancient city and gather together. Inhaling dragon energy creates the treasured eye of Feng Shui."

"No matter how good the Feng Shui is, it can't withstand the erosion of time, otherwise how could it be as desolate as it is today." Hua Ling'er didn't care about this Feng Shui treasure.

"That can only mean that the dragon's energy is not enough to carry the destiny, the destiny will be lost and the country will be destroyed. I boldly guess that the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions will die because of this." Jiang Yang has learned all about the dragon's veins affecting the destiny of the dynasty. After reading "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", I am convinced.

This is not a ridiculous statement, and it is well-founded.

One side is feng shui, and the other is water and soil. This water and soil nourishes people, and people are the foundation of the country. People govern the country and make it safe, and people make the country strong. This is pretty much the principle.

"After all that, can you determine the location of the temple?" Hua Ling'er asked urgently.

"Don't worry! I'll take another look. The Feng Shui bureau has been laid out in front of me. Let's see how many traces it retains." Jiang Yang comforted Hua Ling'er.

After saying that, Jiang Yang began to calculate the Feng Shui direction: "The dry opposites determine the universe...the wind moves to the Zhaoxing Palace...the water hides the dragon and turns into the Qimen..."

Finally, Jiang Yang set his sights on a high sand dune, with thick stone mounds vaguely protruding from the top.

He pointed at the sand dune and said firmly to Hua Ling'er: "This should be the sand dune."

The two of them ran up the hill quickly and saw a stone door with half of it leaking out at the top.

"This is the temple?" Hua Ling'er was a little doubtful.

"It has been submerged in yellow sand for more than two thousand years. We are lucky to have half of the door exposed." Jiang Yang said with a smile.

If their luck is too bad, they may have to dig out the yellow sand.

You can't even see the steps outside the temple, which shows how thick the yellow sand is. It requires two people to dig. How long will it take before the door can be dug out?

The two of them carefully slid down the pile of yellow sand halfway through the door. It was pitch dark inside the temple. Only the light from the door could not illuminate the entire temple. After all, the temple was still very spacious.

"Brother, do you think this place is spooky?" Hua Ling'er looked around suspiciously, and it was so dark that she trembled in her heart.

"I think these stone statues and stone bricks are made of stones from Cishan. The magnets are dark and cold, so don't be afraid." Jiang Yang used a flashlight to shine around and found nothing unusual.
