Qinghua Lane is located south of Zhuque Gate in Jiankang City, adjacent to the Qinhuai River, and winds for dozens of miles.
The ice toad shines clearly, the high wall is deep and deep, and the sound of horse hooves breaks the mottled moonlight on the bluestone slab.
Zhi Shou really hung up the car curtains. At the entrance of the alley, the osmanthus and green Xiao were lush and fragrant, casting soft shadows all the way. The white walls and black tiles were everywhere, the painted eaves and carved lintels were thin and dim, half covered and half exposed, like a quiet place.
Floating quietly in the waves of moonlight.
"This is the world-famous Blue and Flower Lane." Wang Yifu looked at the shadow of the swallow passing by under the moon and sighed, "Over the past thousands of years, countless heroes have stood out here."
"Where are these heroes now?" Zhi Shouzhen heard the faint sound of the waves of the Qinhuai River, mixed with silk, bamboo and sandalwood boards, floating and sinking. "On the contrary, there are red osmanthus and green Xiao, year after year."
Wang Yifu was stunned for a moment. The carriage was twisting and turning in the long and deep alley. The colorful houses in the Zhuge Pavilion appeared in endlessly like a bird's screen, and the Qiongting in the Yaotai Palace was like a beautiful peak rising and falling one after another.
One after another, the animal eyes opened from the alley walls on both sides, green, fiery red, golden, snow white, indigo, jet black...the eyes were as bright as lights, interlaced and projected, like the rainbow of fireworks, beautiful and beautiful. The hunting is so detailed
If you look closely, you will see the images of countless animals carved on the bluestone bricks, vivid and detailed, some opening their teeth to bite, or fluttering their wings and claws... A wave of fierce ferocity rises out, surrounding the carriage, as if it is about to pounce.
carriage.
"These are the souls of ferocious beasts, a total of 3,650 of them. They are sealed here by magic and will guard Qinghua Lane forever. Once civilians or foreigners break in, the beast souls will rush out on their own and work together to kill them."
Wang Yifu showed a beautiful ancient talisman to Zhi Kaizhen, "Members of the aristocratic families who live in Qinghua Lane will carry the evil warding talisman with them. Within one foot, it is difficult for animal spirits to approach."
The four most prominent clans of the Jin Dynasty - the Wang family of Langya, the Xie family of Yanwu, the Pan family of Lanling, and the Bolingyuan family; the Gao family of Huanxi, the Diao family of Yuyang, the Bai family of Cangwu, and the Liangzhou family.
The Zhou family, the He family in Lujiang, the Wei family in Dongshan, the Kong family in Kuaiji, the Lu family in Huating, the Zhang family in Wujiang, the Tao family in Wuling, the Huan family in Beimo, the Wen family in Lancang, and many second- and third-rate wealthy families are vying to buy homes in Qinghua Lane.
It can be described as a gathering of celebrities and high-ranking families.
"The majesty of the family must be supported by dead animals?" Zhikari Zhen curled his lips, "You are so angry!" He secretly reached into his sleeves and held the white jade dice that was inexplicably hot. He never understood the purpose of this dice.
I only know that it will be sensitive to witch spirits. Is the change in the dice now related to the souls of these ferocious beasts?
Wang Yifu gave a wry smile. The prince's literary talent and swordsmanship were second to none, but his temper was a bit extreme.
A thick dark cloud passed by, covering the bright moon, and the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Yongninghou Mansion.
A young man in green clothes had been waiting outside for a long time. He hurriedly came forward and bowed to Wang Yifu and reported: "Master Changshi, the ancestors and clan leaders, and all the elders of the clan have arrived and are waiting to summon the crown prince in the Xuanhua Hall."
Wang Yifu was surprised: "The old lady also came from Boling County?"
The boy in green clothes replied: "My ancestor just arrived half an hour ago."
"Humph, our itinerary has been leaked early. It's really hard to guard against thieves." Zhi Kaizhen sneered, jumped off the carriage, and went to the driver behind to help Zhao Dieniang.
Wang Yifu's expression was uncertain. The old lady Yuan was the only surviving clan elder of the previous generation of the Yuan family. She was also one of the ten great sects and the junior sister of the current head of Feijing Lake Lingxi Zhai. Her cultivation had reached the peak of refining the spirit and returning to the void.
Even if the clan leader Yuan Taiqiu saw her, he would respectfully address her as "Old Taijun". Although Yuan Old Taijun had been behind the scenes for a long time and did not care about worldly affairs, his status was aloof and he spoke the truth. He was known as the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Yuan clan.<
/p>
"Your Majesty, you need to be careful about what you say. This time, of course it was Pan who was the one who got in the way." Wang Yifu said unfaithfully. He was secretly ordered by the Marquis to secretly manage the Crown Prince's entry into the capital, but he did not expect that it would end up causing a storm in the city, and everyone on the road would know.
Even the Pan family of Lanling took advantage of the situation to stir up trouble. The former old lady rushed all the way to Jiankang. If there were no people from the original clan adding fuel to the fire, he himself would not believe it.
Zhao Dieniang stepped out of the car and stood quietly in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, as if looking at the majestic stone lions on both sides. Under the heavy dark clouds, the stone lions became more and more ferocious, and the angry and sinister lion mouth was covered with dark red.
The palace lantern shines, and the blood is stained.
"Lord Chang Shi." The young man in green glanced at Zhao Dieniang quietly and whispered a few words to Wang Yifu.
Wang Yifu's expression froze and he asked: "Where is the Marquis?"
The young man in green clothes said: "Master Hou is still ill and cannot leave the bed. He only asked that the ancestors make the final decision in everything."
Wang Yifu was silent for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face. Zhao Dieniang turned her head, her black and white eyes turned on the faces of Wang Yifu and the boy, and turned around calmly: "Let's go to the side door, lead the way."
"Thank you, madam." The young man in Tsing Yi felt relieved and bowed.
A complicated look flashed in Wang Yifu's eyes, and he opened his mouth to speak, but it turned into a slight sigh.
"Take a side trip?" Zhikari was stunned for a moment, and then he took back the darkness in it.
"You follow Wang Changshi and go through the main entrance." Zhao Dieniang looked as usual, "Listen to me and don't act like a child."
"Why did my mother go astray? What on earth do they want to do?" Zhikarizhen raised his eyebrows and was about to have a seizure.
"Your Majesty, if you want your mother to enter and exit the Marquis Mansion in a dignified manner, you have to endure the honor and disgrace for a moment." Wang Yifu took a deep look at Zhi Horizhen and said seriously, "No matter the side door or the main door, they are just two cinnabar-copper doors.
You can ignore the door and walk away. However, from now on, you will never want to enter the gentry again and see the infinite scenery at the pinnacle of the world. Today, you can rely on your outstanding talent to humiliate Pan Anren. But tomorrow
He has officially entered the Taoist sect, and as long as he opens his mouth, countless monks will rush to humiliate you."
"An'er, do as Chang Shi said!" Zhao Dieniang's face darkened, "Today you choose to stand out on the river, you must have a beginning and an end. How can you give up halfway and make people look down on you and me, mother and son?"

Zhao Dieniang flicked her sleeves lightly, got away from the young man, and walked around: "When I was young, I studied with a opera master. She told me that with everyone's pursuit, it is not enough to sing the opera from beginning to end.
It’s rare. If no one in the audience is watching in the middle of singing, but he can still sing to the end, then everyone will be called.”
"Your Majesty, the old lady and the elders of the clan are waiting for you." Wang Yifu lost no time in taking Zhi Qizhen's hand and pulling him into the Hou Mansion.
The courtyard is densely covered with pines and cypresses, and the winding water flows along the way, glowing with a dark cold light, passing between the pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions.
Wang Yifu introduced: "The water here is diverted from the Qinhuai River."
Zhikarizhen was walking on the twists and turns of the water corridor, the cool breeze was whistling, and the dark red octagonal palace lanterns reflected the broken shadows floating in the distance, which seemed to be a bit lonely and cold. "Why is the Duke's Mansion of Nuo Da so gloomy?
,How many people can’t be seen?”
"It used to be crowded and lively." Wang Yifu said, "Six years ago, the Marquis returned from Dimengdao injured. In order to heal his wounds, he resigned many helpers. Now there are only a few maids, old ladies and guards left in the house.
”
"Dimeng Dao? I've heard that there are countless rare treasures and secrets in it." Zhikarizhen curled his lips, "He is lucky."
"The Earthly Dream Path is dangerous and strange, and it is completely different from the human path. Your Majesty, you must not take it lightly." Wang Yifu paused and looked at Zhi Kaizhen with a profound look, "Actually, entering the Earthly Dream Path is not entirely related to luck. For
For the children of aristocratic families, today’s Dimengdao is no longer out of reach.”
Zhi Shouzhen said in surprise: "Have you found the gathering place of Dimengdie?"
Wang Yifu smiled and did not answer. Although he was a member of the Wang clan, he belonged to a side branch. If he wanted to strive for the top, his path was promising. In addition to the help of the clan, he also needed to rely on his own strength. Now he secretly expressed his goodwill to Zhi Shouzhen and revealed some secrets of the high clan.
, maybe it’s because I have some private thoughts.
Zhi Shouzhen pondered for a moment: "The Marquis of Yongning has been recuperating for six years?"
"The Marquis encountered a vicious creature on the Earth's Dream Road and was bitten by a careless move. He has not recovered yet." Wang Yifu stopped and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, once you recognize your ancestor and return to the clan, what name will you give to the Marquis?
Change it, and you must not be so dismissive."
"Let's talk about it." Zhi Qingzhen said disapprovingly. The two of them walked around the elegant Qixia Pavilion, the deep and shadowy Suowu Tower, the jade-washing platform of Shuimu Tsinghua University, the fragrant Yixiang Garden, and the antique Wenyuan Pavilion.
...After passing through countless corridors, winding bridges, bamboo groves, rockeries, medicine gardens, and flower gardens, we finally came to a magnificent hall.
"Your Majesty, you must think twice before speaking." Wang Yifu warned him again and again before going inside to report.
After a while, a young man wearing a platinum robe embroidered with unicorns walked out with his head held high and his eyes rolled up: "Are you that white horse man?"
Zhi Shouzhen looked at him for a few times and said: "I remember a famous poem by our predecessors, 'Goose, goose, goose, singing to the sky.' Now I have seen it."
The young man's face stiffened and he said angrily: "I don't care about you as a villager. Come in, the ancestors and elders want to see you."
Zhikari Zhenshi walked into the lobby. A silver-haired old woman held a crested crutch in her hand, sitting upright on the chair of the imperial master, with a calm air, standing high above her head. Her skin was fair and smooth, as tender as a baby, and her beautiful eyes were clear and sharp, without any
She has a hint of old age. If it weren't for her silver hair, Zhi Shou would have thought she was still twenty years old.
A snow-white crane stood behind the old woman, with a red crown like a fire and a majestic posture. Its bright eyes were staring at Shikarima, and it was walking around, flashing with a hint of naughty cunning.
A slender old man is holding a teacup in his hand, located below the old woman. A dozen old men with fluttering white beards and the old woman are sitting on both sides, all looking at Zhikarizhen.
Wang Yifu said: "Old Taijun, the head of the Taiqiu clan, you clan elders, he is the young white horse man who bravely defeated Pan's arrogance today - Yuan An."
"Wait a minute." An old man with short hair standing on end like a hedgehog shouted, "It's too early to say that his surname is Yuan."
"That's right. How can we easily attribute the actor's surname to the Yuan family based on just a few words from him? Let's do a blood test first to find out who he is, and we will talk about other aspects later!" The old man in colorful clothes next to him patted the armrest of the chair.
, the voice is sharp and harsh, which makes people feel upset.
Other clan elders all agreed. Yuan Taiqiu nodded, glanced at Yuan Old Taijun, and said solemnly: "Come here, admit your kin with a drop of blood, and prove your identity!"
"Wait a minute!" Zhikarizhen raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly.
