That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1162

Back then, Xiao Yu told people close to him about what he saw in his dream. He once flew into the nine heavens and saw twelve sharp sword qi between the heaven and the earth. The pillars soared to the sky, connecting the sky and the earth, and then saw the fate of Xia Chan in the northwest.

But what Xu Beiyou saw now was different.

In his line of sight, he could see the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the North Sea, and the West Sea.Within the four seas, surrounded by clouds and fog, there are a few places that are particularly bright. These places are the imperial capital in the middle, the river capital in the southeast, the central capital in the northwest, the northern capital in the northeast, and the Daliang Tianhai built later, and the golden tent of the grassland. Wangting, the eastern capital of Wei State.

In addition, there are Shanzhou, Shuzhou, Yanzhou, Liaozhou, Jinzhou, Youzhou, Qizhou, Zhili Prefecture, Huizhou, Yuzhou, Jiangzhou, Huzhou, Xiangzhou, Nanzhou, Guizhou, etc. Fifteen prefectures, the two great grasslands in the southern part of the desert and the northern part of the desert, the [-]-mile southern border, the overseas state of Wei, the countries of the Western Regions, several prefectures later built, and the country in the far west, this is called Tianxia.

In fact, there is nothing particularly surprising about these things. What really surprised Xu Beiyou was that the location of the gods in the Central Plains was extraordinarily bright.

The immortals in the sky look down on all beings in the world, just like mortals look up at the summer night sky, the stars are dotted, bright and dark, the dim ones are almost invisible, and the bright ones can compete with the bright moon.

Yuzhou, also known as Zhongzhou, is the place where the ancient Central Plains was located. Before the Great Chu, Yuzhou and Shanzhou were both the center of the world, and its capital was known as the center of the world. Thirteen dynasties established their capitals here successively. The door and here also have a deep relationship. Taoism originated here, Confucianism originated here, Confucianism flourished here, Buddhism was first transmitted here, metaphysics was formed here, and Neo Confucianism originated here. for the name.It is also famous all over the world for its peonies, and has been praised as "the capital of the gods for thousands of years, and the city of peonies".

It was only later that the ancient Central Plains gradually weakened and lost its former prosperity. The centers of the dynasties of the past dynasties either went south or north, and no longer settled here, and the capital of the gods was no longer comparable to the increasingly prosperous Jiangdu and other places. .After the founding of Daqi, the four capitals were established. They were the imperial capital where Dingdu was located, the central capital where Emperor Taizu Longxing was located, Jiangdu, where money and food were important in the world, and Beidu, which governed the Northeast and also had the responsibility to resist post-construction. Gods who were once in their prime are excluded.

It's just that in the eyes of Xu Beiyou today, the brilliance of the capital of the gods has surpassed that of the eastern capital, the central capital, and the northern capital, and is second only to Jiangdu and the imperial capital.And Shendu is the place where Buddhism was first transmitted. When Buddhism came to the west, it built the first temple in Shendu. It is known as the "ancestral home" and "Buddha's source" of Buddhism. Xu Beiyou searched everywhere. In the world, I don't see the opportunity of Buddhism, but if it is said that the opportunity is at the source of the beginning of Buddhism, it makes sense.

With a thought in Xu Beiyou's mind, his figure began to fall sharply downwards, turning into a long rainbow in mid-air, spanning the entire sky, heading towards Zhongzhou Shendu.

Xu Beiyou had visited the capital of God twice before. The first trip to the capital of God was too hasty. Not long after entering the city, he encountered the governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, Yang Shihe, who wanted to capture the remnants of Lu Qian's descendants. He was unfortunate. Being involved, if Tang Shengyue hadn't rescued him at a critical moment, Xu Beiyou's trip to Shendu would have been unpredictable. Tang Shengyue brought it to Huizhou.

As for Xu Beiyou's second visit to Shendu, it was already on his way from Jiangdu to the north of Shendu. As far as the thousand-year-old ancient capital is concerned, it is only a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg, and Xu Beiyou cannot fully understand how mysterious it is.

When Xu Beiyou came to the sky above Shendu, he was taken aback.He may not be an expert in the art of formation, but he is by no means a layman who knows nothing. Looking at this strange and powerful city in front of him, he feels very inconceivable. The decadence of the city is even more majestic than before. Both the inner and outer city walls and the moat outside the city have been rebuilt. Xu Beiyou was even more shocked that someone was repairing the already dilapidated formation in the city. There is still a long way to go before the project is fully completed, but compared to what Xu Bei saw when he visited Shendu last time, the difference cannot be counted.

Xu Beiyou had been in contact with the imperial city formation in the imperial capital, and had also talked with Lan Yu, who was in charge of repairing and maintaining the formation. The original foundation is already established, and the cost is enough to make a slender family empty out its wealth. The people behind the scenes have a big plan, which can be seen from this.

What is the intention behind the mastermind?Xu Beiyou suddenly felt an urge to find out.However, he also understood that it was nothing but an illusion at this time, and the so-called investigation was just a useless effort, so Xu Beiyou suppressed the impulse in his heart and slowly landed in the city of Shendu.

Then at this moment, time began to pass quickly again, and everything around was passing by so quickly that it was dizzying.

When the time returned to normal, Xu Beiyou didn't know what year and month he was in, but he met an old friend who was expected and reasonable.

Meng Suilong.

Or, Xiao Shu.

The old son of Wei Wang Xiaojin, the crown prince of Wei.

Although the current Xiao Shu is no longer the young man Xu Beiyou saw, Xu Beiyou still recognized him at a glance. It has nothing to do with his appearance or even his cultivation level. There is God's will in it.

However, Xiao Shu at this time was not a prince. He was wearing a black cloak and a hood to cover his face, and his whereabouts were secretive. He walked around the city and finally came to a mansion in the middle of the city.

This used to be the imperial palace of the previous dynasty. When it came to Daqi, it was the royal residence of Liang Wujun's lineage. Not far from the royal residence was the temple that symbolized the ancestral home of the origin of Buddhism.

After Xiao Shu paused in front of the gate of Liangwu County Prince's Mansion, he turned and entered the temple.

Xu Beiyou followed closely behind and entered it without a sound.

The moment Xu Beiyou stepped into the temple, the passage of time changed again, and Xiao Shu was nowhere to be seen, only a person standing with his hands behind his back.

Xu Beiyou looked at the uninvited guest. He was a middle-aged Confucian scholar in a white Confucian shirt. He wore a high black gauze crown on his head, and cloud shoes with upturned toes. Wind, and the bones of Confucian scholars.
