On the outskirts of Jinling City, a magnificent river surges forward.
This area is considered to be on the edge of Jinling City, but the terrain is steep and the mountain roads are rugged, so it is an undeveloped no-man's land.
"Roar!"
The roar of the dragon shook the sky.
The one-horned dragon suddenly burst out from the underground river, just like a raptor crossing the river and slamming into the surface of the river. The water burst and set off violent waves dozens of meters high.
There were countless frightened birds in the mountain forest. They were frightened by the roar of the dragon and fled away.
"It's been hard these days. From Jiangbei to Jiangnan, it spans hundreds of kilometers. I don't know how many underground rivers have been dug before we can get here."
Tang Ming looked at the dragon churning in the river with a faint smile. With a wave of his hand, two high-grade spiritual stones, five spiritual essence pills, and ten top-quality snake spirit fruits shot out.
"Roar!"
The one-horned dragon was so excited that its head suddenly jumped out of the water and swallowed these things in one mouthful.
"This section of the Yangtze River has a large volume of water, a wide channel with a water depth of more than 100 meters, and it is remote. It is quite suitable for Jiaolong. I feel it is even more suitable than the Han River."
"There is also the Qinhuai River in Jinling City that flows into the Yangtze River. If necessary, the dragon can go upstream and directly into Jinling. It is very convenient."
Liu Wan looked at the water flow chart on the map and said.
Tang Ming nodded slightly and said, "That's what I said, but I'm afraid the dragon won't be able to enter the city. It can only support us outside the city and in the suburbs."
Liu Wan said in surprise: "Master, are you afraid that it will be discovered?"
"It's not just for this reason." Tang Ming turned and looked into the distance, which was the direction from which Jinling City entered the city.
"As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Jinling City itself contains dynastic destiny. Even if all six ancient dynasties are destroyed, the remaining orthodox imperial aura cannot be resisted by Jiaolong."
Tang Ming's eyes flashed: "Besides, there is another reason."
"I remember that when the major ancient city gates of Jinling City were first built, they all hung the 'Dragon-Slaying Sword' at the gate. There were also 'Dragon-Slaying Swords' hanging on the ancient bridges in the city."
"Dynasty changes, this tradition has never been interrupted, including now."
Dragon-slaying sword?
Hearing these three words, the originally excited Dujiaolong shrank his neck, obviously frightened.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword was arranged by a Feng Shui master to match destiny and luck, combined with the energy of dragon veins and the energy of kings in Jinling City.
Let alone a dragon.
Even the dragon clan that has truly succeeded in transforming into a dragon would not dare to rush into it rashly.
Liu Wan worriedly said: "Master, then, the dragon is on the outskirts of Jinling City, will it be okay?"
"Of course it's okay."
Tang Ming shook his head and explained: "The purpose of the Dragon-Slaying Sword is not to kill the dragon, but to prevent the fierce dragon crossing the river from making waves and flooding Jinling."
"After all, in ancient times, as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the royal families of major dynasties practiced Feng Shui physiognomy in order to consolidate the foundation of the dynasty."
"This is especially true in the capital of China. Even the Great Demon of Tongtian would not dare to openly invade. Otherwise, if the fate of the dynasty is suppressed, no matter how strong the cultivation level is, they will fall under the power of God."
Tang Ming lowered his eyes, looked at the one-horned dragon and warned: "Remember, you are not allowed to rush into Jinling City under any circumstances, let alone disturb the world and shock the people, otherwise even I will not be able to save you."
"Roar..." The one-horned dragon nodded quickly, shrank into the water with half of its head exposed, and looked towards the direction of Jinling City with some fear.
Even though it was so far away, it could still feel a faint threat.
"Okay, as long as you don't collide with Jinling City, you'll be fine. The Yangtze River is so large, it's enough for you to be happy."
Tang Ming smiled lightly and waved: "Go ahead. If I have any errands in the future, I will notify you in advance."
"Roar!"
The one-horned dragon groaned lowly and was about to turn around and return to the bottom of the river.
suddenly.
"Boom——!"
"Boom--boom--boom!"
A melodious and resonant bell suddenly rang from Jinling City.
The sound of the bell was thick, filled with a wisp of righteousness and majestic domineering energy from heaven and earth, resounding throughout the world. Along with the sound of the bell, a strong spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered together.
The target is clearly where Tang Ming and others are.
"Where did the bell come from?
This direction is..." Tang Ming's expression suddenly changed slightly: "Purple Mountain!"
The words just fell.
"Boom!"
A louder bell rang suddenly.
The sound waves rolled and shook the space.
The entire Jinling City was shaken by today's bell, like a sleeping beast slowly waking up.
...The residents of Jinling City are also a little confused.
Countless people looked up and looked in the direction of Purple Mountain.
"what happened?"
"The sound of the bell was so loud that it made my scalp numb, but it didn't make me feel noisy. It felt like my soul was being shaken."
"I feel the same way. The question is where is the bell coming from?"
"It seems to be coming from the top of Purple Mountain."
"It's weird. Jinling City only sounds the air defense siren on major anniversaries. I've never heard any bells ringing before."
"The problem is that the sound of the bell was too loud. It seemed that the entire Forbidden City heard it."
"It should be a loudspeaker added and then connected to the broadcast system on each street. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a loud sound. Even physicists can't explain it clearly."
"..." There was a lot of discussion in Jinling City.
These are just the comments of ordinary people, but for the cultivators and ancient wealthy families in Jinling City, they all suddenly raised their heads and looked at the direction of Purple Mountain with surprised eyes.
Later.
The ancient wealthy families have recruited their elites to join the team, and then sent spies out to gather information.
...Jinling Tang Family Courtyard.
A middle-aged man in brocade clothes was playing with a small red sandalwood teapot in his hand. When he suddenly heard the bell, his hands shook and he almost broke the antique teapot worth hundreds of millions.
The bells on the top of Purple Mountain! Tang Anshun's eyebrows suddenly jumped, and he quickly opened the bedroom door and walked out.
Outside, many of the direct descendants of the Tang family in Jinling were in a panic, and some had fear on their faces.
Because the Tang family has heard this bell sound before.
Twelve years ago.
The bells on the top of Purple Mountain rang, and then countless powerful men broke into Jinling City and besieged the Tang family in Jinling.
On that day, the Tang family in Jinling was surrounded by powerful enemies from all directions.
On that day, many of the Jinling Tang family’s elite confidants were killed and injured.
That day, Tang Anyin and his wife of the Tang family in Jinling were severely beaten, and the huge Tang family compound was almost razed to the ground.
Twelve years have passed.
Today, the bell on the top of Purple Mountain rang again! "Dad!"
A young man ran over eagerly, with a look of panic on his face.
"What's the rush?"
Tang Anshun frowned slightly as he looked at his son, and scolded: "You are now the heir to the Tang family. You must keep your expression unchanged even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you!"
Tang Haolin had a wry smile on his face. He would not be like this if he was very scheming.
The main reason was that the incident twelve years ago had such a huge impact. Not only him, but the entire Jinling Tang family were frightened by the sound of the bell on the top of Purple Mountain.
