"Haha... no... how could it be..."
Sheng Yichen immediately wiped the barely noticeable ashes on the hem of his clothes with a silly smile.
Under Sheng Nanxi's supervision, he wiped his hands several times with the disinfectant tissue that the little girl kindly provided. Only then was he allowed to hold her little finger and teleport back to the inn.
If eyes could be as sharp as a blade, he would have taken advantage of Sheng Nanxi's inattention and flew towards Gu Cheng, and his glares would have pierced the other person into a sieve.
Soon, the area around Longmian Mountain was surrounded by troops and people who came to check the situation.
There was a lot of noise and chaos all around.
Sheng Nanxi cleared the evidence of the three people's presence with just a wave of her hand, and took the two people away to the spot.
…
Time goes back to one hour ago.
As soon as the bright sun rose from the distant horizon, the sound of night watchmen beating the drums could be heard in Jinyang County.
On the west side of the city, many families were driven by soldiers to the newly built stage in front of the City God Temple to wait for the morning show.
The reason is simple. Ever since Sheng Nancy completely exposed the fig leaf of the Southern Qi royal family, the court's high-handed image in the hearts of the people has been completely shattered.
Not only did the people of the Nanqi clan openly defy the imperial orders, but many of them also completely lost their trust in the Southern Qi court and began to migrate to other countries, or simply became bandits and became self-sufficient mountain kings.
The prestige of the imperial court gradually collapsed in the hearts of the people, and He Huaiyuan was unable to manage it. So, at the suggestion of his staff, he asked the Xianyuan Sect to spread the great achievements of the late emperor in various parts of Southern Qi, intending to re-establish the status of the royal family in the hearts of the people.
Xianyuan Sect specializes in magic, and many of its magic methods are to make the opponent fall into the state unknowingly through acting. The young master immediately agreed to such a big business and issued a ticket, only asking the surname to listen for seven days, and then the stubborn person would be able to obey the court.
At the beginning, the court took into account the men's farming and work, and only required each family to send at least two women or elderly people to "receive education".
It's a pity that the scandals previously exposed in Linyang County were too explosive, and the image of the Southern Qi royal family in the hearts of the people was almost beyond redemption.
After being brainwashed, these women and old people not only failed to convince their families, but also caused family quarrels and fights one after another. The storm was coming and the Southern Qi Dynasty became even more chaotic. The family riots were almost suppressed on one side and then on another.
The court was really helpless. In the past few days, it has issued a decree that all the people of Nanqi must take out one hour every day to watch a play in the neighborhood, which is called "Gaotai Jiao".
I never thought that the immortal fate taught me the art. After three days of performance, most people were brainwashed by the easy-to-understand plays and regarded the daily compulsory education as enjoyment.
It was a cold wind at this time, and although the people who had got up early to "receive education" were shivering, they were all excited and gathered under the stage waiting for "Zhang Dajia" to appear.
"Ouch! I was woken up by a distant explosion early this morning. Did you hear it?!"
"Ouch! I heard it! My husband climbed to the roof and saw smoke and dust billowing near the Bixiao Mountain. It took a while for the smoke to stop. I don't know how, but a large area of the Bixiao Mountain suddenly collapsed."
"Oh my God! Bixiao Mountain is near our dragon vein. It won't affect the dragon vein, right?"
"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about?! Didn't you hear what the opera said? The founding emperor was a true dragon. During his lifetime, all evils fled away. After he rode a crane to the west, he was buried beside the dragon vein, protecting the people of Southern Qi. You are the one who collapsed the heaven, not the dragon vein!"
"Yes! Why does Longmian Mountain look like a dragon sleeping there? That is the body of our founding emperor!"
After three days of "high-level education", Xiao Qi had completely forgotten the dirty things that the royal family had done. All he could think about were Xiao Qi's so-called great achievements on the stage.
As the smoke around them dissipated, everyone's gaze gradually faded and their expressions became more and more excited.
But there was a genius who came to listen to the opera. The child had clear eyes and couldn't help asking:
"Eh? Grandpa said that Longmian Mountain got its name thousands of years ago because it looked like a sleeping dragon. It's only been a dozen years since the late emperor left for the west, so the mountain obviously didn't turn into a dragon shape because the late emperor was sleeping there!"
When these words were spoken, one could hear a pin drop nearby.
The group of people with surnames came because they were confused by the Xianyuan Sect in the past few days. They felt something was wrong when they heard this, but they couldn't figure out what was wrong. They could only scold the child angrily:
"What are you talking about, kid? You weren't even born when the late emperor rode a crane to the west!"
"My master and I were there at the time. We watched helplessly as the late emperor was carried into the imperial mausoleum. Then a golden dragon descended from the sky and lay dormant a few miles east of the mausoleum. This is how the Dragon Sleeping Mountains were formed! You little brat, whose hair hasn't even grown out yet, stop talking nonsense!"
“…”
The brain that had been eroded by the magic had long been unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. When the old man said this, everyone around him felt as if they had seen that scene before and agreed with him.
Soon, the stage was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums. Zhang Da, who has become famous recently, came out in martial arts costumes and danced.
In an instant, the sun completely jumped out of the horizon, and golden light fell on the earth. It was like the sudden arrival of the late emperor in the opera, bringing hope to every poor person.
There was constant cheering from the audience, but Zhang Dajia had a scornful smile on his face.
But before he could open his mouth, a series of piercing explosions suddenly came from Longmian Mountain behind him!
"No way? What did I see?! The dragon vein! The dragon vein seems to have collapsed!!!"
