If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 366 Cutting off the Dragon Veins of Japan
Changing the world is easier said than done.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhanjun already had a plan in mind. He didn't want to become a fat man in one bite, but was prepared to take it step by step.

Now the threat to the north of the Ming Dynasty has been eliminated long ago during the last Northern Expedition. Even the dragon veins of the northern grasslands have been cut off, which can be said to have eliminated future troubles once and for all.

So this time, Zhu Zhanjun planned to do the same in the Japanese country, cutting off the dragon veins of the Japanese country, so that there would be no threat to the east of the Ming Dynasty.

After that, he will consider building the Japanese country into the Ming Dynasty's forward base to open up the sea to the east, and the Ming Dynasty's eastern defense line on the sea.

Although there were six Ming vassal kings and one Japanese king gathered on these four tiny islands, it was not difficult for Zhu Zhanyu to make it run according to his own will.

So after finishing Izumo's affairs, he and Meng Qinglin led the army to Kyoto in the Japanese country.

This is the current capital of the Japanese Kingdom and the last stronghold occupied by the shogunate army. It is also the seat of the Japanese kings of the Northern Dynasties.

"This can be considered a thousand-year-old ancient capital. It has some history since its establishment in the Tang Dynasty." Standing on a mountain on the outskirts of Kyoto, overlooking this city that was built in imitation of Chang'an City, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of ridicule: "Although it is modeled after Chang'an, it creates a formation of four images in a nondescript manner, hoping to protect the city. I really don't know how to comment.

But this saves me a lot of trouble. As long as the formation of the four images is broken, the dragon veins of the Japanese country can be liberated. "

"Array of Four Elephants? Where did the Four Elephants come from in this flat city?" Meng Qinglin knew about the Four Elephants, but the city in front of her did not let her see the manifestation of the Four Elephants, which inevitably made her confused. Confuse.

When Zhu Zhanju heard her question, he took her hand and flew to the sky. While overlooking the earth from a higher perspective, he also explained to Meng Qinglin: "When this city was built, the Japanese people were popular in Japan. Chinese culture, the Japanese king who built this city chose a place with the power of the Four Symbols to build his capital, and set up four shrines to suppress the Four Symbols.

The four images are the river representing the green dragon in the east, the swamp representing the red bird in the south, the road representing the white tiger in the west, and the mountains representing Xuanwu in the north.

Therefore, in order to break the formation, we must destroy the symbols of these four images, and at the same time, we must also destroy the town objects in the four shrines and temples in these four directions.

As long as the four elephants in all directions are destroyed, the suppressed dragon veins of the Japanese country will be released. At that time, I only need a little guidance to extract the dragon veins of the Japanese country, and cut off the dragon veins of the Japanese country like the last time in the grassland. . "

"Such an formation is really neither fish nor fowl." After Zhu Zhankun's introduction, Meng Qinglin finally saw clearly what the so-called Four Symbols formation was about, and this also made her disappointed: "The four spirits are not the same." It’s obvious that the four images are out of tune and the five elements are out of harmony. Even a three-year-old child can’t compare to this level of formation.”

Formation is actually very common, especially for practitioners. Anyone who has a little knowledge has been exposed to formation. It's just a matter of depth.

After all, for practitioners, the spirit gathering array used to gather spiritual energy, the magic circle used to protect oneself during retreat, etc. are all things that are used daily.

Even if they are casual cultivators who are not good at formations at all, most practitioners will find ways to learn some knowledge related to formations to avoid running into problems or being blinded when they need to use formations.

Each sect has direct related education and training, and disciples who are truly talented in this area will receive more resources.Only those cultivators at the lowest level in the world of immortality really don't have any channels to access this information, so they know nothing about battles and other things.

Of course, strictly speaking, this kind of low-level practitioners cannot be said to have embarked on the path of spiritual practice. Many of them have never even entered the door. They have touched a few so-called spiritual practices and call themselves practitioners. They are not even casual practitioners. .

Those who are not good at it can't even beat ordinary warriors, and they are the lowest marginal figures in the world of immortality.

It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of Zhu Zhanchun and Meng Qinglin, two big guys who are very knowledgeable in terms of knowledge and experience, the so-called formation of four images in front of them is really full of errors and omissions that cannot be seen.

The so-called Four Symbols are just a place that was forcibly found in the southeast, northwest and northwest. If it were not for the four shrines that guarded the place and forcibly put together this so-called Four Symbols Formation, it would not even be called the Four Symbols Formation at all.

After all, there are requirements for the formation of the Four-Elephant Formation. You cannot say that you can just pick up four things and point them at them and say that they are four images to hold up the Four-Elephant Formation.

However, although the people who set up the formation at the beginning were relatively inferior, if you ignore the level and look at the arrangement of the formation, it still looks like that. It feels like someone got a formation diagram and then copied it mechanically without asking for a deeper explanation.

This is quite common, after all, it is not a particularly unusual thing for a great master to have an unworthy disciple.

Therefore, in Zhu Zhanchun's view, it is understandable that the array of four images is arranged like this. After all, isn't it true that what Japan learned from China has only been superficial?

And this also made it easier for Zhu Zhankun to break the formation.

"Qinglin, you lead people to dig up the river to the east and divert the river water to flood the shrine." Zhu Zhanquan told Meng Qinglin and began to assign the task of breaking the formation.

Needless to say, although the arrangement of the Four Symbols Formation is not very good, it is not that easy to break the formation.

At least this is a formation that covers an entire city, and it would be inevitable to go to war to break it.

"Tian San produces wood, located in the east, and its elephant is the green dragon." The formation of four elephants is no stranger to Meng Qinglin, and she naturally understands the reason why Zhu Zhanqi asked her to do this: "Water produces wood, and Taiyin produces wood." Raising Shaoyang, the yin pole generates yang, is indeed a way to break the formation! As long as the other three directions and the five elements restrain each other, the power of the dragon vein can come out. When the time comes, you only need to capture and cut it off to destroy it. It’s the dragon’s luck that goes to Japan.”

Although she belongs to the dragon clan, Meng Qinglin has no reaction to cutting off the dragon veins, even though the dragon veins and the dragon clan are inextricably linked.

"If you want to destroy the Japanese country's dragon vein luck, it's not just Kyoto." Zhu Zhanqi shook his head slightly. If the Japanese country's dragon vein luck is really not concentrated in Kyoto, there will be another place in the next few hundred years. The fate of the Japanese country lies here.

So Zhu Zhanqi just said to Meng Qinglin: "But first destroy the dragon vein here and then talk about other things. Qinglin, you go to the east, I will go to the north, and let the Qingyu Guards and Jinyi Guards go to the remaining two sides."
