One person, one sword, I have guarded the lonely city for 70 years

The capital of Great Xia, Yangcheng.

This is the "fairy city on earth" that the Great Xia Emperor tried to build. It gathered the essence of the civilization of the entire Great Xia Dynasty and was the most advanced place in the world.

The clouds are colorful, the sky is filled with rainbow light, and it looks like a fairyland, but it is a special effect after the blessing of countless formations.

People fly by from time to time in the sky. There are a lot of venerables in Yangcheng, and there are even emperors and heavenly kings sitting in the city. It is a real "city of the strong".

Within the majestic city walls, tall buildings stood tall, the streets were wide, and luxurious carriages sped by.

The fragrance is lingering, and the roadside plants are all rare plants such as Jiurui Zhenzhu, Qinghun Zicalyx, etc. The fragrance alone can improve people's physique.

Every day, there is a long queue at the gate of the city, and tens of thousands of people want to enter Yangcheng.

However, in order to prevent the infiltration of Sanmen, the review of entering the city is extremely strict. Household registration, documents, and various certificates need to be complete, and many questions must be answered.

This caused tens of thousands of people to stay outside the city every day, and the government simply built four small towns at the gates of the four cities, all of which were inns and restaurants for those who entered the city to rest.

The core area of ​​Yangcheng is naturally the imperial palace.

The towering purple-gold palace stands like a mountain, magnificent and magnificent, with extraordinary momentum.

Outside the palace, from time to time, people came to kneel and kowtow, chanting words devoutly.

They are on a pilgrimage.

Worship the first emperor of all ages, the Supreme who ruled the world for 4 years.

Just looking at the palace from a distance and feeling the solemn atmosphere will satisfy the pilgrims.

At the gate of the palace, several burly Jinwu guards stood, glanced at the pilgrims outside, but did not drive them away.

If there are martial arts masters here, they will be surprised to find that the aura of these Jinwu Guards is extremely powerful, with every gesture, the Gang Qi is self-generated and circulates endlessly outside the body.

These people are martial arts masters!

Only the imperial palace has such a high standard for a master guarding the gate.

In the palace, there are nine main halls and 36 side halls, which are used for different formal occasions.

There are more than a thousand palaces where queens and concubines live.

The most central is the emperor's bedroom, which is also the place for daily life, martial arts training, and seclusion. It covers an area of ​​thousands of hectares. There are martial arts training grounds, library cabinets, treasure cabinets... all kinds of buildings are complete, and they only serve the emperor.

This bedroom alone is equivalent to a small city.

If the concubines entered the palace at night to serve the emperor, they would have to leave at noon to arrive in time.

At this time, in the study room of the bedroom, a majestic man in his thirties and 40s with a red face, wearing a nine-claw golden dragon robe, was slowly flipping through the books on the table, occasionally turning his eyes to the ceiling, his pupils From time to time, Lei Mang appeared.

This person is the Supreme Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

No one knows the emperor's name anymore, and if he insists on mentioning it, there is only one word "Qi".

Qi, the first unified emperor in the history of the human race, and the only one who started the Wanzai Dynasty.

Qi is resting at this time, flipping through the classics in Shuge.

Every book here is a rare and unique copy worth tens of thousands of dollars. If it is spread out, it will shake the world.

But in Qi's hands, it's just a book to read to pass the long time.

On the left side of the desk, a beautiful concubine is burning incense and grinding.

On the right side of the desk, there is a magic weapon with a strange shape.

The instrument is divided into three parts.

The lower part is a square frame laid flat, with eight or eight 64 squares neatly embedded in it.

On the horizontal and vertical sides of the square frame, eight small gold-plated characters "Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui" are engraved in sequence.

The embedded 64 small squares are also engraved with words, which are related to the corresponding positions of the squares.

For example, if the horizontal direction is dry and the vertical direction is Gen, then the word "Dun" is on the square.

This is the 64 hexagrams formed by the combination of two pairs of gossip.

The back part of the magic weapon is a silver box, and there is a buzzing sound from inside.

The front part of the magic weapon is a erected bronze mirror.

On the bright and clean mirror, there is a bright picture, which is a map of the imperial palace.

After Qi finished flipping through a book, he stretched out his hand and pressed on the square frame, his fingers fell lightly, and there was a burst of knocking.

clack clack...

Each small square was pressed, and then automatically popped up, making a crisp sound.

At the same time, the picture on the bronze mirror also began to change. The map of the palace gradually expanded, and the buildings inside became clearer and more detailed. Finally, the faces of the patrolling Jinwu Guards could even be seen.

Kai nodded in satisfaction.

"Sitting in the meditation room, you can look around the outside scene, revealing every detail, and synchronized at all times."

"The map function developed by Aifei is really useful, thank you."

The concubine immediately knelt down to thank her, her pretty face bloomed like a spring orchid, she pursed her lips and smiled and said:

"It's His Majesty's ingenious workmanship in developing this 'Vientiane Instrument'. It combines different sequences of the 64 hexagrams to form different commands, allowing the magical instrument to calculate itself."

"Using the functions of utensils to replace the ingenious changes of divine thoughts, the illusions are endless, and the universe is formed by itself."

"This is the miracle of creation."

This concubine knew how to please the king, and she praised the Wanxiang instrument for a while.

Qi is very useful, strokes his beard and smiles, his face is bright.

This "everything instrument" is indeed his brainchild.

From scratch, it took thousands of years for the early drawing and derivation, and thousands of years for the subsequent development, trial and error, and assembly.

For tens of thousands of years, more than a thousand ghost immortals served as developers, and spent their entire lives on this magic weapon.

There are even many ghost immortals reincarnated with the memory of research and development, focusing on it for several consecutive lives.

The outside world basically thinks that the omnidirectional instrument is still under development, and many people even think that it took nearly 1 years to achieve no results. This is just His Majesty's self-entertainment, and it is not worth looking forward to.

In fact, the first Omnicam has already been released, and it is placed in front of Qi's desk.

The next thing to do is to reduce costs and enrich functions.

Let the Vientiane Instruments be arranged out and placed in the main cities to become the emperor's sharp weapon to control the world.

Looking at the continuously enlarged map in the bronze mirror, Qi's pupils burst into thunder again.

This universal instrument will be an unprecedented artifact, and also the greatest masterpiece of his life.

At this time, the concubine was still praising:
"Such an artifact, with such an exquisite conception, is really unimaginable, how did His Majesty conceive it in the first place."

Hearing this, Kai's smile disappeared unconsciously.

The concubine was very sensitive, and immediately realized that she had said something wrong, her heart tightened, and she quickly changed the subject:

"I believe it won't be long before the Vientiane Instrument will be put into practical use and help His Majesty complete the great cause of the ages..."

Qi nodded slightly, "Okay, you can go back and receive the reward."

The concubine saluted again, and exited the study respectfully, feeling uneasy in her heart, but still couldn't think of what she said wrong.

Inside the room, Qi looked at the classics in the room, his eyes were a little dazed.

With a slight movement of his fingers, he tapped the small square on the square again.

clack clack...

In the bronze mirror, a document was slowly unfolded.

This is a page of the dossier that records the identity information of Zhu Xiewei.

On the first line, the word "Song Lan" is impressively written.

"You're still back."

"You shouldn't have come back."

In the study room, a sigh of unknown meaning suddenly came out.
