Chapter 641 Imperial Tomb View
When Nan Yan asked this question, her eyes were very sharp as she stared at Master Shangshan.
As for Tiangang Lianhuanwu, since it is the remnant of the power that was able to compete with Emperor Gao's power and dominated this place for many years, it must be extremely powerful.
Otherwise, they could not take away all the people they brought with them.
However, as soon as they heard the flute of this great master last night, they retreated.
Speaking of which, it seems that this old Taoist is a little more "scary" than them.
When Master Shangshan heard her question, he just smiled faintly.
"Because good cannot prevail over evil."
“…”
Nan Yan felt a lump in her throat after hearing what he said.
This person's words are so profound.
She vaguely felt that the identity of this Master Shangshan might not be simple.
Including their Taoist temple, it's also very strange.
As for the Tiangang Lianhuanwu, it now seems that it should be the remnants of the forces left by those who fought against Emperor Gao in the early days of the founding of the country. However, in recent years, I am afraid that its forces have grown a lot.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to kidnap their people so secretly.
Thinking about it now, Nan Yan felt a little frightened.
Fortunately, they went to explore other places on the island yesterday. If they had really encountered it, I’m afraid we don’t know what the consequences would be.
In particular, Zhu Feng was injured.
If something happens to him here, the world will be in chaos.
However, even so, the situation they face next is not optimistic, after all, those people are still in the hands of the other party.
Just like Zhu Feng said before, if you want to leave here, you have to rescue those people first.
But, that Tiangang Lianhuanwu...
Nan Yan thought for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Master, do you have a map of this area?"
Master Shangshan shook his head: "No."
“…”
"I guess no one has a map of this place."
"But why?"
Even though Zhu Feng had said before, this place was not marked on the map.
But Master Shangshan just said that in the past, Xingluo Lake was a transportation hub, a place where merchants came and went in an endless stream. It is impossible that there was no map, right?
Hearing her question, the Shangshan Master sighed and said, "In fact, there used to be a map of this place."
“…”
"However, when the Neng Kingdom invaded the Central Plains, their control over the Central Plains was extremely strict."
“…”
"People from the Central Plains are not allowed to hold official positions or go to school."
“…”
"All civil documents, maps, and household registrations are strictly controlled by them."
“…”
"When they were driven out of the Central Plains by Emperor Gao, they burned all those things."
“…”
"Of course, the court can draw maps of other places, but—"
Nan Yan whispered, "Xingluo Lake is controlled by the people of Tiangang Lianhuanwu, and the terrain here is very complicated, so there is no map of this place anymore."
Master Shangshan nodded gently.
At this time, the Taoist priests around had finished their breakfast.
Outside, the bell rang again.
Master Shangshan also finished his bowl. He smiled and said, "Madam, please take your time eating. After dinner, you can also look around the Taoist temple."
“…”
“Although this island is not big, the scenery is still very beautiful.”
Nan Yan originally wanted to ask him something, but he had already walked out with the other Taoists.
Nan Yan sat alone in the cafeteria.
It's very quiet around here.
She slowly frowned.
This Taoist temple is not simple, and this Xingluo Lake is even more extraordinary.
Because just now, she suddenly thought of something——
Grandmother, why did you lead those people from the Neng Kingdom here?
Could it be that she has something to do with this place?
After finishing her meal, Nan Yan left the dining hall, but after thinking for a moment, she did not immediately return to the room where Zhu Feng was resting, but walked to the other side.
It looks like it should be the exterior of this Taoist temple.
She walked slowly forward along a long corridor and could see that the Taoist temple was very large. Although the walls in some corners looked very mottled and the tiles showed signs of damage, overall, this Taoist temple was by no means the dilapidated Taoist temple that people often imagined, appearing in the deep mountains and forests.
On the contrary, it is very impressive.
He must be very rich.
However, if it is built on an island, I am afraid that no pilgrims will visit for many years.
Where do they get the money?
As she continued walking outside, she heard some noises, as if there were many people moving in front of her. She walked over and saw a door next to her. On the other side of the door was a very wide platform.
Hundreds of Taoists lined up neatly here.
They are practicing.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise.
She had felt before that there were many people in this Taoist temple, but she didn't expect there were so many!
It seems that the bell just now was urging them to come over and practice.
Nan Yan stood on this side of the door, watching those people climbing walls and climbing rooftops. Some were practicing with swords, some were practicing with guns and sticks. They actually had all kinds of weapons.
From this perspective, it looks like a——
Well-trained army!
Nan Yan's heart trembled.
What is going on with this Taoist temple?
Nan Yan frowned and hurried forward, wanting to check out what other secrets this Taoist temple had, or to find out their origins.
After walking for a while, she passed through doors and saw the main hall of the Taoist temple.
Zhenwu Hall.
The deity enshrined inside is Zhenwu Emperor.
Nan Yan walked in from the back door and saw several little Taoist boys cleaning. They waved their brooms as if they were playing with swords, spears, and sticks.
Really everyone here practices martial arts.
They were not surprised to see Nan Yan. They just bowed and greeted her calmly. Nan Yan nodded at them with a complicated expression, then walked out of the gate of the Zhenwu Hall.
Outside, there is naturally an incense burner.
The curling smoke makes this Taoist temple even more quiet.
But in Nan Yan's heart, it seemed as if countless undercurrents were surging. She was about to go out when suddenly, Ran Xiaoyu's voice came from behind her: "Madam."
Nan Yan turned around and saw her following out.
"Xiaoyu, why are you here?"
Ran Xiaoyu came over and said, "Madam, the master is awake."
"ah!"
When Nan Yan heard this, her eyes widened in surprise.
Zhu Feng is awake?
Very good!
As long as he wakes up, I feel like I have a backbone.
She was so happy that she hurried to go back with Ran Xiaoyu, but she just took a step and suddenly stopped.
Ran Xiaoyu turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"Wait a minute."
Nan Yan raised her hand and gestured to her, then turned around and continued walking outside the Taoist temple, all the way out of the gate.
Then she looked up at the plaque above the gate.
On the black plaque, three large characters written in gold lacquer were written in a flamboyant style:
Imperial Tomb View!
