Yan Xiang had already expected Xia Yi's expression. After all, he was the same when he first heard it.
Hence, he smiled and said to Wang Qu and Liu Jintao,"
"You guys go ahead, I'll bring him around the city wall.”
"Sure, Sherlie, let's have a drink after work. You stood us up last time.”
Wang Qu smiled and cupped his hands. He walked into the Dragon King Pavilion with Liu Jintao and disappeared in an instant.
"Let's go."
Yan Xiang pointed at the empty ancient city wall and said.
Xia Yi followed him and took a few steps before he heard Yan Xiang say,"
"Your understanding is actually correct. These four Dragon King Pavilions were indeed built by Liu Bowen. As for the reason…you must have heard of that legend, right? Our country originally had 100 dragon veins. In order to ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen cut off 99 of them, but only the one at Changbai Mountain was left out. Therefore, hundreds of years later, the Qing army entered the pass and ended the Ming Dynasty's rule.”
"Yes, I've heard of it."
"This is true."
"…What?"
"The theory of fate says that the cause of the previous life is the effect of this life. The national disaster decades ago was actually related to him. According to the records in the investigation bureau, Liu Bowen is suspected to have broken through the highest level of Awakening, Level 9…"
"Wait a minute, Liu Bowen is an Awakened?”
"Yes, I am. That's right. Otherwise, how do you think Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world? Not only was he an Awakened, but he was also one of the few experts in the world when he fought alongside Zhu Yuanzhang.”
“……”
Xia Yi understood that his worldview might have been overturned once again.
"According to Liu Bowen's speculation, he might have already predicted the human catastrophe that will happen a few hundred years later. In order to protect the Great Land, although he said he wanted to protect the Ming Dynasty, in fact, he wanted to protect the Great Land. Therefore, in order to prevent the dragon veins from shaking, he really cut 99 dragon veins…This method was simply unheard of. But that was where the problem lay…According to the records, he had gone to Changbai Mountain, but no one knew what had happened. In the end, he had kept the dragon vein…Well, of course, this was only the speculation of the investigation bureau. No one knew what had happened back then. However, the most powerful point of view at the moment was that Liu Bowen had calculated all of this. When the Divine Land was in turmoil, although the 99 dragon veins that he cut off had some abnormal movements, they also protected the fate of the Divine Land. In the end, the Soaring Dragon flipped over. Although that group of invaders landed in the northeast, it was the battle in the northeast that determined our victory.”
"You mean the Battle of Liaoshen?”
"Yes."
Xia Yi gradually came to a realization, but he still asked with some doubt,"
"What does that have to do with the Night Sea Ancient City?”
"Because the dragon under the Night Sea Ancient City was…a young dragon.”
"…This thing is divided into young and old?"
"Of course…why not? Birth, old age, sickness, and death, the order of age, this was the truth of heaven and earth. Back then, when Liu Bowen discovered this dragon, he did not kill it because of the kindness of the heavens. Instead, he killed it with suppression. Legend had it that he had cut off 99 dragon veins, but in reality, when faced with such small dragon veins, he, a powerful person, used the water method of mountains and rivers as the principle. Yin and Yang converged into the Dao, connecting the dragon veins and people together. This was why Night Sea Ancient City had not experienced any drought or flood in the past hundred years, and the terrain was stable.”
"Is this really something that humans can do?”
Hearing Xia Yi's exclamation, Yan Xiang shrugged."
"So, the investigation bureau suspects that he has already surpassed the concept of a Level-9 Metahuman. After all…even though I don't know how powerful a Level-9 Awakened is, it sounds too unbelievable.”
"So, our main job is to guard the seal?……What happens if it's destroyed?"
Yan Xiang sighed.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and held the city wall with his hand. He pointed into the distance and said,
"North, South, East, West, the Four Seas Dragon Kings are the four Soul Suppressing Spikes. When the nail was pulled out, the scene of the earth dragon turning over would appear…As for how terrifying it was…Do you know the shock two years ago?”
Hearing this, Xia Yi's heart skipped a beat.
"You mean…"
"That's right, it's that disaster. The seal of that young dragon had been destroyed by someone.”
"…Who did this?!"
"I don't have enough authority to know. Only Awakened ones who were Level Four and above had the authority to understand. But after hearing the rumors, they only roughly knew that…many people died in that attack. Among them…was Sergeant Xu's master, a Level 5 Metahuman who had learned the three ultimate skills of Shaolin Temple.”
“……”
All of a sudden, a heavy feeling lingered in Xia Yi's heart.
"Therefore, guarding the four city gates is the main mission of our Ye Hai Branch.”
"... Since it's so important, then the people on our side..."
"Do you think it's too little?"
"Yes."
" Actually, it's not a small amount. Our branch's mission is to protect them on the surface. I don't know how much power they have in the dark either…"
"Not enough authority?"
"Yes."
Yan Xiang nodded."
" Therefore, our daily main task is to ensure the safety of the ordinary civilians. We don't have to be too afraid of guarding this place. It's extremely safe here. We haven't been out for so many years…boohoo…"
Xia Yi covered his mouth.
He said seriously,
"Old Yan, I'm superstitious. Don't make random flags.”
