These are endless hills| There were a total of nine peaks, located at the intersection of the middle city and the outer city. From afar, these nine small mountains that were connected together| Feng was like a giant dragon lying on the ground.
15 minutes later, Xiong Ba and his group arrived at the foot of the mountain where the ancestral hall was located.
Looking up, Xiong Ba couldn't help but fall silent.
"The mountain range is continuous, rising and falling like a true dragon. This mountain is the highest and the first one. It's like a dragon raising its head. In this way, this place is a treasure land with good feng shui…"
Before Xiong Ba said anything, Qin Shuang had already expected him to say this.
This was also the main reason why Qin Shuang chose to build a shrine here.
As soon as Xiong Ba finished speaking, Yang Mingru stepped forward and bowed,"Reporting to Sect Master, this mountain is called Nine Dragon Mountain. It is formed by nine continuous mountains that look like real dragons.| It got its name from the peak. The highest point of this mountain was exactly three hundred feet, just like the so-called 'ninety-five trend' of the geomancer. From the foot of the mountain to the top, the green stone stairs are paved in order according to the 'ninety-five power'. On the top of the mountain, a temple is built. There are three halls in one temple, so it's called a temple. There are also sculptures on the top of the temple…"
As soon as Yang Mingru finished speaking, Xiong Ba said heroically,"Haha, good, well said, well done! This move suits me very well, but I wonder how much money this will cost?”
"City Lord, the Temple of Life took more than two years to build. It cost more than 20,000 people and about 500,000 taels of silver…"
"Hmm? Where did the money come from?"
"Reporting to the City Lord, not taking a single cent from the people is actually stolen goods from bandits in Liang City.”
"Oh? In that case, what was the reason for the little girl's so-called " construction funded by the commoners "?”
"Reporting to City Lord, before the construction of the shrine, the people of Liang City felt that they had helped the might of the heavens and had once worshipped the Sect Master with their clay bodies. After Young Master Qin Shuang accidentally found out, he was afraid that the clay bodies were not suitable, so he thought of building the ancestral hall. In addition, during the construction of the Temple of Life, many people in the city came to work spontaneously during their leisure time. There were so many people that it was difficult for me to count them one by one. Otherwise, there would be no less than tens of thousands of people building it.”
As Yang Mingru's words fell, the thick worry on Xiong Ba's face quietly dissipated.
Soon, Xiong Ba personally led everyone to the peak.
"Bai clan ancestral hall? Who wrote it?"
"Master, it's me."
"Shuang 'er, tell me, why is it called the Hundred Family Ancestral Hall?”
"Master, this disciple's actions are also due to the people's voluntary efforts.”At this point, Qin Shuang suddenly knelt down and said,""Master, I have a request.”
"Tell me."
"Master, I would like to ask you to open the Hundred Ancestral Temples to everyone in Liang City for free and allow them to enter the hall to pray for peace.”
Qin Shuang's words were simple, but there was a deeper meaning behind them. Xiong Ba, who had heard it, was also filled with emotions at this moment,""Entering the palace to pray for safety, isn't that praying for me?”
Although it was just a thought, Xiong Ba's body and mind instantly flew up into the sky.
"Even if it is a hundred ancestral halls, it naturally has to be opened for the hundred clans. Shuang 'er, pass on my order. From today onwards, send a group of soldiers to guard the ancestral halls of the hundred families. As long as the citizens of Liang City are willing, they can come here to offer incense…"
"Yes, your disciple will do as you say."
……
After taking a look at the ancestral halls of the hundred clans, they stopped for a long time. It was only in the afternoon that Xiong Ba left with everyone.
On the same day, Xiong Ba and his group moved into the City Lord's Mansion.
After moving into the City Lord's Mansion, Xiong Ba used the excuse of being tired from traveling and kindly rejected Qin Shuang, Yang Mingru and the others to welcome him.
Regarding this, Yang Mingru was filled with worry.
However, Qin Shuang's body and mind were not affected at all.
Before leaving, Qin Shuang secretly instructed Yang Mingru,""Don't worry about anything, just report whatever Xiong Ba asks you.”
Xiong Ba did not seem to care, but Qin Shuang deduced,""Xiong Ba will definitely investigate in secret and take action after seeing what he sees.”
When Qin Shuang built the Hundred Clan Ancestral Hall, Yang Mingru had opposed it with all his might. He only said,""This is a waste of manpower and money.”
At that time, Qin Shuang promised Yang Mingru three things: First, do not take a single cent from the people; Second, he would not touch a single blade of grass or tree of the people. Thirdly, the Hundred Clan Life Temple would drive Xiong Ba to consciously change his battle plan of 'those who submit to me will prosper and those who resist me will perish' and would also drive him to transform into a wise ruler step by step.
Among the three points, the third point was the most important. It was also the reason why Qin Shuang built the Bai Family's Life Temple.
After nightfall, Xiong Ba first dressed up and left the City Lord's Mansion alone.
After a while, Xiong Ba sneaked into Liang City.
"It's already night time, but why aren't most of the houses in the city closed? Weirdly enough, weren't they afraid of the Thieves?”
With this question in mind, Xiong Ba once again arrived at a brightly lit area.
It was a tavern. Even after night fell, there were still many martial artists gathered in the tavern.?
As soon as Xiong Ba entered the tavern, a waiter greeted him with a smile.
"Customer, our shop has top-grade Nu 'er Hong and delicious dishes that go with wine…"
Without waiting for the waiter to finish, Xiong Ba took out a silver ingot and asked,""Waiter, it's already late at night. Why is your tavern still open for business?”
"Sir, is this your first time in Liang City?”
"Not bad, I just arrived."
"Sir, you might not know this, but there is no day or night in Liang City. Secondly, it is more prosperous than Dragon City. Thirdly, there is an endless stream of martial artists who come here. Many people are reluctant to leave after coming here once.”
"Oh? Sit down and talk about it."
"Sir, to be honest, Liang City was in a foul mood three years ago. Not only did the City Lord take bribes behind Sect Master Xiong's back, but he also wantonly took advantage of the people…"
At the mention of Liang Cheng, the waiter became interested and started talking non-stop with Xiong Ba.
As the waiter spoke, the rest of the people in the tavern were also talking.
"Brother, what do you think of Liang City?”
"Beautiful Flowers, I'm afraid it's already surpassed the East Province's Dragon City.”
"That's right. Eh? It has only been three years since we left Liang City. At that time, we only heard that Xiong Ba would 'submit to me and prosper, and those who resist me will perish.' However, after three years, Xiong Ba had actually become a wise ruler…Today, the citizens of Liang City had spontaneously flooded the streets, and there were actually tens of thousands of people. The most unbelievable thing was that they actually called Xiong Ba 'Long live!' It seemed like the World Association was already the ruler of the North Region.”
"Brothers, I heard that the World Association is recruiting many wise men, and there is an endless stream of people who want to join the World Association. Why don't we follow Xiong Ba and do something great?”
After a long time, Xiong Ba left the tavern.
A group of soldiers who were on night shift walked towards them and happened to bump into Xiong Ba, who was strolling along the road.
The soldiers didn't recognize Xiong Ba, and one of the generals took the initiative to gallop his horse over to Xiong Ba.
"Stop…"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Why are you walking on the streets in black in the middle of the night?”
Xiong Ba wasn't angry at the general's question, instead, he pretended to be dumb and said,""General, I am not a bandit. The black clothes are my own clothes. If not for that, I would not have swaggered on the streets.”
"Hmm? It better be so. You look a little unfamiliar, so you must have come to Liang City recently, right?”
"Indeed. What advice does General have?”
"Hehe, I don't dare to advise you, but in Liang City, the rules of the city cannot be broken. Once you break them, even the heavens can't save you. Remember, first, you can't use force in Liang City. Second, you can't do anything sneaky. Third, if you encounter an enemy, you can find a soldier. After you explain the whole story, someone will naturally help you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier left again.
With a heart full of waves, Xiong Ba came to the outer city.
In the area where the Hundred Clan Temple was located, under the night sky, a group of lanterns followed the crowd up and down.
"Hmm? It was already so late, and there were still people going to the ancestral hall to offer incense? No, it just opened today, right?”
Thinking of this, Xiong Ba once again ascended the mountain peak.
Entering the hall, under the burning candles, Xiong Ba disguised himself as a devotee while secretly observing the scene in front of him.
On the incense table in front of the Xiongba Golden Body, a group of men, women, and children were kneeling on the futon and burning incense.
"Sect Master, my wife has been pregnant for ten months and is about to give birth. Please bless her to give birth to a fat grandson for this old woman…"
" Gang Leader Xiong, I want to join the Liang City's Iron Cavalry, but my martial arts are too weak. I've been eliminated after participating in the competition three times. Please bless me so that I can successfully join next year…"
"Thank you for your leadership, Sect Leader Xiong. If it wasn't for Young Master Qin Shuang leading the troops to rescue us in time, we would have long been ghosts…"
Hearing everyone's prayers, Xiong Ba's heart was filled with excitement.
Xiong Ba could clearly feel that the person who was praying was not lying, he was sincere.
That night, Xiong Ba didn't leave the Bai Clan's ancestral hall. To Xiong Ba's disbelief, as the second day arrived, the people who went up the mountain to pray came in batches after batches.
"How will Shuang 'er govern the city? The prosperity of the City of Liang had surpassed that of the Dragon City in the East Continent. The people in the city were well-fed and had smiles on their faces. How did Shuang 'er manage the city? I haven't been to Liang City for three years, but the people in the city are talking about me? How did Shuang 'er manage the city? I want to know, I want to know…"
