Chapter Twelve: Observing the Grand Situation, Searching for Ancient Tombs

  Li Chen and the others were unfortunate, no matter how they begged, Mingyue Xiang insisted on sending them to the Law Enforcement Pavilion. Li Gang came but it was useless, this evidence is conclusive! Moreover, Li Chen's usual behavior has determined the current outcome. Li Gang didn't have the face to defend his son either, but he always felt strange, thinking that even if his son was foolish, he wouldn't take a chest shirt and go looking for trouble at someone else's door.

  But he couldn't find any evidence to prove it, and in the end, he almost got sent to the Enforcement Pavilion. The elder of the Li family stepped forward, a true master of the Daoist sect. Mingyue Xiang understood the whole situation, and if they continued to make a fuss, who knows what kind of trouble they would stir up? If it was discovered that Qin Hao was involved, her own reputation as his master would be ruined. He had been beaten and humiliated, so it was time to cut their losses.

  Finally, the elder reluctantly took out a bottle of Qingyang Dan to show his sincerity. He also understood that Mingyue Xiang was about to enter Tiangong and become one of the top talents on the Tianxia list. Such a genius would definitely be highly valued by the Tiangong Sect. With Mingyue Xiang's talent, her chances of achieving enlightenment were over 90%. The sect couldn't compare with their small door faction. They had earth-shaking secret methods to comprehend, and in any aspect, the mysterious gate was just an insignificant existence.

  It can be said that even if Tianxuan Sect sends out a few elders, they can destroy the entire Xuanmen. This is the prestige of the sect.

  The Xuanmen's founder, Xuantian Feng, had a slightly greater aura of prestige, rising to prominence in a miraculous manner and creating the Xuanmen sect. He reached the pinnacle of human dao, just one step away from becoming a great emperor, but ultimately passed away in meditation. At that time, even Tianxuan wanted to know the secret behind Xuantian Feng's rise, but Xuantian Feng took it to his grave, and no one knew where he was buried, including Tianxuan. This secret was known only to Xuantian Feng himself. Nevertheless, the Xuanmen sect was still unable to rival the Great Teachings of Tianxuan, with a vast difference in their underlying foundations. It wasn't until a thousand years later that the Xuanmen sect became an obscure and insignificant minor school.

  And this senior fellow, although he had entered the path of achievement, did not progress any further and forever stopped in his tracks.

  The Taoist under the Way, with a lifespan of 500 years, the accomplished Taoist for 5,000 years. Those with poor qualifications may only last two thousand years, and there are those who can only last one thousand years. This Elder belongs to the kind with the worst qualification, although his strength surpasses that of Mingyue Xiang, he does not dare to easily offend this person appointed by the Tianxuan Great Teaching to be the guide.

  Qingyang Dan, that's a pill that even the most skilled Daoist cultivators dream of getting their hands on. One pill can increase one's lifespan by a year, and although it may seem like just a year, at critical moments, this is a matter of life and death. For a cultivator who has already achieved enlightenment, however, Qingyang Dan doesn't have much use. But he had prepared this Qingyang Dan for his son and grandson, so naturally, he was reluctant to part with it, even though he himself found it difficult to refine.

  If Mingyue Xiang insisted on sending Li Chen to the Law Enforcement Pavilion, then he couldn't do anything about it. With his understanding of the master of the Law Enforcement Pavilion, Li Chen's cultivation was probably doomed.

  Moreover, once Mingyue Xiang enters Tianxuan, her identity is completely different. She has to destroy the Xuanmen Sect, and the Xuanmen Sect can only stick out its head to be slaughtered. This is also why Mingyue Xiang can protect Qin Hao, this Tang monk's meat. If it weren't for this identity, I reckon Qin Hao would have died a thousand times already.

  Finally, Mingyue Xiang nodded, and Li Chen's fat face, which had been tense for a while, finally relaxed. The Taishang elder then led Li Gang and his son away. However, Mingyue Xiang was puzzled in her heart - she sensed that Qin Hao had gone to the cliff from yesterday with a hidden symbol, but she believed that Qin Hao would never commit suicide. She then evenly distributed the dan medicine she obtained from the Taishang elder to the disciples who were beaten by Qin Hao.

  They also count as fortunate in misfortune, under this elixir, their anger finally dissipated. Afterwards, Mingyue Xiang instructed: "This matter ends here, you all focus on cultivating to achieve enlightenment. This time in seclusion, if there isn't a life or death situation, I won't come out. Therefore, the matters of Mingyue Peak are all handed over to Fang Xue and Qingxuan to manage together."

  "Yes!" everyone replied, not daring to disobey. No one could have imagined that in the end it would be like this, with power divided equally between two people.

  "There's one more thing, I hope that during my seclusion, no one is allowed to bully Jingxuan, understood?" Mingyue Xiang's tone was severe, obviously taking this matter very seriously. She thought that in the future, she would bring Qin Hao to Tianxuan, and perhaps this ancient great sect would have a way to deal with the divine pulse.

  As soon as Qin Hao was mentioned, all the disciples immediately became united in their anger and completely forgot about the morning's events. That was a divine pulse, whoever killed it would have good fortune afterwards. However, Master's dignity was also at stake here, so they could only superficially agree while having different thoughts in their hearts.

  Mingyue Xiang's understanding of this group of disciples even surpasses their own, and she doesn't know the weight of a few catties? However, with that hidden symbol, she has nothing to worry about, at least no one dares to kill Qin Hao openly.

  After the ceremony, the disciples retreated, while Mingyue Xiang stood in front of the closed room, gazing at the back mountain of the Mystic Gate, gazing at the place where Qin Hao had fallen: "What are you thinking about again? Ah!"

  She shook her head and walked in. The door closed slowly, and a surge of energy enveloped the entrance. Mingyue Xiang had gone into seclusion.

  "Master has finally closed the door, let's go and find that fool to vent our anger." Fang Xue led a group of people towards Qin Hao's house, apparently not satisfied with beating Li Chen, now they want to beat Qin Hao as well.

  "Elder sister, don't you forget, Master has given instructions. Now he's not a fool anymore. When Master gets out of prison, he'll report it to the higher-ups. Don't blame me, your junior sister, for not reminding you." Qingxuan said. The disciples of Mingyue Peak were divided into two factions: one faction was Elder Sister and the other was Qingxuan, the Second Elder Sister.

  "Hmph, he's regained his senses, can't I just beat him into stupidity?" Fang Xue turned her head and glared at Qingxuan.

  In fact, Qing Xuan didn't have the kindness to remind Fang Xue, she was just being impulsive. Whatever good intentions Qing Xuan had, Fang Xue would always go in the opposite direction. However, Qing Xuan didn't expect Fang Xue to think that way either, but she didn't mind, glanced back and left with everyone else.

  "Sister Shi, are we just going to let Fang Xue sister go like this? What if she kills that fool? Wouldn't she be in luck then?" said Xiaoyu.

  Upon hearing this, Qing Xuan shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm sure that fool is not in the room right now. Since Master dares to be so at ease and close the door, he must have a backup plan. Moreover, Fang Xue's courage is big, but it's impossible for her to kill Jing Xuan."

  "Why? She killed that fool, and later she'll get the blessing of heaven, when the time comes, she'll leave the Mystic Gate, where will Master find her then? Moreover, if Master's closed-door meditation is only a few months, it's fine, but if it's like other elders, one closed-door meditation can last for ten or even a hundred years, Master will be in trouble, I'm afraid it will be hard to find her." Little Jade reminded, and some people also echoed, apparently she herself had the same idea in mind.

  "Hehe, you're wrong. From what I know about Master, if Fang Xue really killed that fool, she would definitely die. I reckon even the Sect Leader wouldn't dare do such a thing." Qingxuan didn't explain why Fang Xue would definitely die, but several of her fellow female disciples took heed. Second Older Sister had always been wise and wasn't as impulsive as Eldest Older Sister. She must have meant something deep by saying that.

  "Xing Feng, was it you who did this today?" asked the elder. "Grandfather, I really didn't do it! The belly band really was picked up by us." Li Chen's injuries had healed and he had returned to normal.

  "You scoundrel, still lying in front of your grandfather. I told you not to go to Mingyue Peak now, but you refused to listen..." Li Gang said coldly beside him.

  "Dad, really, it wasn't me!" Li Chen's face was full of grievance, his heart resentful to the core. He had done so many bad things before, now even his own father didn't believe him.

  "Alright, regardless of whether you've done it or not, before Mingyue leaves the Mystic Door, you are not allowed to set foot on Mingyue Peak. Otherwise, don't blame Grandfather for being ruthless." The Elder issued a decree, his words carrying an intangible air of majesty.

  "Yes, Grandfather, but what about the divine pulse..." Li Chen wanted to say something else.

  "We have our own ideas." Li Gang was so angry that he wanted to beat his useless son, but after all, this was his own flesh and blood.

  "Hmph, you fool! If it weren't for you, I, Li Chen, wouldn't have today's troubles. Sooner or later, I'll kill you. When the time comes, I'll strike first and report later. Let's see who can save you then!" Li Chen decided to take action tonight, guessing that Mingyue Xiang had already gone into seclusion.

  But he didn't say so with his mouth, instead he respectfully agreed and bowed out.

  "When the dragon comes from ten miles, its energy is high for one zhang; when it comes from a hundred miles, its energy is high for ten zhang. When the energy is upright, the pulse follows the middle and falls, and the hole is upright; when the energy is biased, the pulse follows the side and falls, and the hole is biased." And in the back mountain of Xuanmen, at the cliff, he gazes at the grand momentum of heaven and earth, muttering to himself, this is precisely the wind-water technique in the dragon-seeking method.

  What is meant by "finding a dragon" is to understand what a dragon is. The general term for mountain ranges is called a dragon. Specifically, mountains near water are called dragons, while those not near water are called mountains.

  In Qin Hao's world, to seek the dragon, the first step is to climb Tai Zu Mountain, then pass through Shao Zu Mountain and Father Mother Mountain, observe how the dragon emerges and transforms, walk through repeated unfolding of the canopy, passing through the gorge, binding energy, until arriving at a place with rivers and lakes, entering the starting point, suddenly rising from the starry sand intersecting with water **Yang**, transforming energy to form a knot, this process is seeking the dragon.

  Taizu Mountain is simply the ancestral mountain of the dragon, that is, the source. The Taizu Mountain of Chinese dragons is the Kunlun Mountains. It stands tall among the mountains and ridges, majestic and towering, piercing the clouds and mist, like a crane standing out from the flock, with lush trees and often surrounded by purple clouds and mist. The mountain is green and the water is clear, making it a beautiful and magnificent sight, with Dragon Tower, Phoenix Pavilion, Heavenly Pool, Heavenly Ladder, and Guardian. Auspicious creatures appear and disappear in the clouds and mist, and arriving at the foot of the mountain is like entering a fairyland, making people feel refreshed and delighted.

  However, Qin Hao has now encountered a problem, that is, the Feng Shui of this world is completely different from his own world. Although the principles are the same, finding the dragon is difficult. Most importantly, Qin Hao discovered that the mountains here seem to have spiritual properties, and each one can be called a dragon vein.

  "This Huangshen pulse really has the blessing of heaven and earth, it can actually let me easily see through the veins of heaven and earth. According to these trends, there should be a large tomb in the distance." Qin Hao looked into the distance, at the far side of the cliff. He had just crossed over into this world and found that the place he was in was different, comparable to the feng shui of ancient Chinese imperial mausoleums.

  It's just that this kind of feng shui, surprisingly, hasn't been used for burial. Even if the world has many dragon veins, it wouldn't be so extravagant. Moreover, he doesn't believe that in the thousands of years of Xuanmen's inheritance, no one would have achieved enlightenment and then sought out a good feng shui location to be buried, in order to protect the fortunes of Xuanmen.

  Moreover, Qin Hao could feel that among the twelve peaks of the Mystic Gate, there was a faintly visible aura of mystic yellow energy flashing about. However, this mystic yellow energy was extremely weak, so weak that almost no one could see it, but Qin Hao could understand what it represented - the aura of fortune. But even if all these auras were added together, they wouldn't be worth one percent of the aura on his own body. Yet, they still managed to protect an entire sect, which just goes to show how enticing this Tang Monk meat was.

  "Mountain after mountain, momentum after momentum, this is just one corner of the entire Feng Shui layout. Then how big should this tomb be?" Qin Hao observed the trend of the heavens and earth, finally understanding some of it. The large dragon encircled the small dragon, and this cliff was just one corner. He could finally show off his skills...
