Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1756 "The Legend of Tibet" - Incense and Tea

"Next, let's go find Xiang Antu."

Upon entering the capital of the Great Yong Kingdom, Jiang Chen immediately decided who to see first.

Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at his destination.

"Pillow Tower".

This is one of the top places in the capital. It looks like a place to watch plays and listen to music, but it actually hides a secret. Even the cunning Canghai has to ask Xiang Antu for help.

However, the pillow tower is a place for information exchange.

Xiang Antu has access to information from all over the capital. Don't underestimate Xiang Antu just because she's a young girl. She's incredibly skilled and has exceptional martial arts ability, making her an easy opponent for Cang Hai.

"Fragrant tea."

"So this is what it looks like..."

Jiang Chen quickly found Xiang Antu.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received a random attribute mineral vein.]

"A mineral vein with random attributes?"

"This is what I got from the third time I checked in."

"According to the system introduction, this random attribute ore vein will become an ore vein after it is placed. However, this ore vein is random. It may be a common ore vein such as gold, silver, copper, iron, cassiterite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, bismuthite, wolframite, and scheelite. It may also be an ore vein such as purple iron, taixuan iron, taiyin iron, zixia iron, qiling iron, leilin iron, xuanlei iron, jiutian xuan iron, and star steel rock that appear in fantasy novels or xianxia novels."

"So, simply put, these random attribute mineral veins are like opening a blind box."

"Bad luck, we only got an ordinary vein."

"If you're lucky, you might find a valuable mineral vein."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Xiang Antu is a character in the novel "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea".

In the drama, she plays Princess Dongxia, who grew up as a hostage in the Dayong Kingdom during her childhood. Intelligent, quick-witted, and possessing exceptional skills, she also exhibits a maturity beyond her years. Like Zang Hai, she carries a heavy burden of history. During this process, she and Zang Hai meet, become acquainted, mutually exploit each other, and eventually understand each other, ultimately developing feelings for one another.

"Xiang Antu in 'The Legend of the Tibetan Sea'".

"This little girl is really capable."

"Xiang Antu and Cang Hai met when they were young, but they didn't recognize each other when they grew up. The scar on Cang Hai's back was given to him by Xiang Antu."

In the drama, when Xiang An Tu and Zang Hai were children, Xiang An Tu was unintentionally offended by Zang Hai when she first arrived in the capital. As a princess of the Dongxia Kingdom, she had been pampered since childhood and was not one to suffer humiliation. Facing the child who was then called Zhi Nu, she showed no mercy and whipped him on the spot. As a result, Zang Hai later recognized his junior brother and Zhuang Er by the scar on his back. Xiang An Tu could never have imagined that the boy she had beaten back then would have so many ties with her in the future.

Xiang An Tu was a pitiful person. As a small country, Dongxia was far less powerful than Yongguo. In addition, the emperor was wary of Dongxia's rise. Therefore, Xiang An Tu had no choice but to come to the capital as a hostage. Although she still enjoyed a life of luxury in the capital and still held the so-called title of princess, she was forced to separate from her family and live a life of dependence. So, although Xiang An Tu may have been happy at first, she may not have been very happy as a hostage.

Fortunately, she later met another princess who enjoyed dressing as a man and was later known as the Eighth Prince, which helped her regain her happiness. Later still, through her own efforts, Xiang An Tu opened her own business, Pillow Tower. With the backing of the royal family, it was difficult for Xiang An Tu's Pillow Tower not to make money.

After Zang Hai returned to the capital and adopted the alias "Zang Hai," the two met by chance. Initially, they used each other for their own purposes, but as they spent time together, they gradually discovered each other's strengths and shared goals, thus deepening their understanding and trust.

In his quest for revenge, Zang Hai encountered numerous difficulties and challenges. Xiang An Tu, as his ally and partner, remained by his side throughout, facing these challenges together. After experiencing a series of events together, the bond between Xiang An Tu and Zang Hai gradually deepened. They not only became each other's strongest support but also jointly confronted the contradictions and struggles between the fate of their nation and their personal feelings.

After experiencing a series of events together, Xiang Antu and Zang Hai's relationship gradually warmed up and they gained a lot: after facing the challenges of fate together with Zang Hai, Xiang Antu not only completed her mission, but also gained true love and friendship.

"Fragrant tea..."

"I don't know if the story has even started yet."

"However, Mingyu Suti has not come to the capital of Dayong Kingdom yet, so even though the plot has started, it hasn't been going on for very long."

Jiang Chen sized up Xiang Antu.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen thought of Xiang An Tu's mother, Ming Yu Su Ti.

Xiang Antu's mother, who is also the Queen of Dongxia, once had a relationship with Kuai Duo, the father of Zang Hai. Therefore, Xiang Antu and her mother shared similar standards for choosing a partner, and their feelings for the men of the Kuai family were truly deep-rooted. Unfortunately, Kuai Duo at that time was driven by a sense of national responsibility and could never have a future with the Queen of Dongxia.

If Mingyu Suti really gets together with Canghai, wouldn't that be like mother and daughter and father and son?
"Who are you?" When Jiang Chen saw Xiang An Tu, Xiang An Tu also saw Jiang Chen.

"My name is Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen chuckled and sat down in front of Xiang An Tu: "Xiang An Tu? You mean Ming Xiang An Tu?"

Ming Yusu's surname is Ming.

Xiang An Tu, its full name is Ming Xiang An Tu.

Xiang Antu remained silent.

“I am a friend of your mother, Wang Mingyu Suti,” Jiang Chen said.

"Mother Queen" is a title for the queen.

Just like my father.

Xiang Antu's mother, Mingyu Suti, was the Queen of Winter and Summer, which is why Jiang Chen called her that.

It's a bit different from what's shown in the drama, but this is a world where film and television merge.

"What?" Xiang Antu's beautiful eyes narrowed.

“You heard me right.” Jiang Chen nodded affirmatively.

"How can you prove it?" Xiang Antu asked.

“I can take you to see your mother,” Jiang Chen said.

"You?" Xiang Antu clearly didn't believe it.

“I have no reason to lie to you, as long as you agree,” Jiang Chen said.

"This is the capital of the Great Yong Kingdom," Xiang Antu reminded Jiang Chen.

Xiang Antu knew that his mother, the Queen, had no plans to come to the capital of the Great Yong Kingdom.

"It seems you don't believe me." Jiang Chen waved his hand, picked up the incense and tea, and left the room.

Without using an invisibility talisman, Jiang Chen appeared in the sky in a short time, and then flew towards the Winter and Summer Kingdom on his sword.

Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at the capital of the Winter and Summer Kingdom.

This time, Jiang Chen went directly to Ming Yusu.

"Young Master Jiang?" Ming Yusu was quite surprised to see Jiang Chen reappear.

"Mother Queen?" Xiang An Tu was extremely shocked to see Ming Yu Su Ti.

"Are you Xiang Antiu?" Mingyu Suti asked hesitantly upon seeing Xiang Antiu.

"Mother Queen." Xiang An Tu rushed into Ming Yu Su Ti's arms.

After a while.

Mingyu Suti and Xiang Antu, mother and daughter, finally calmed down.

"Now you believe me, right?" Jiang Chen said.

"Greetings, Young Master Jiang." Ming Yusu bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Young Master Jiang." Xiang Antu also bowed.

"No need for such formalities."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "You can't leave the capital of the Great Yong Kingdom yet, so say whatever you want." Jiang Chen said this to Xiang Antu.

"Okay." Xiang Antu understood Jiang Chen's meaning.

"You guys chat," Jiang Chen said, preparing to leave.

"Young Master Jiang." Just then, Ming Yusu called out to Jiang Chen.

"What is it?" Ming Yusu asked.

“I agree with your suggestion,” Mingyu Su said. “However, our Dongxia Kingdom has a treasure in the Dayong Kingdom, and I would like to ask Young Master Jiang to help me retrieve it.”

"Is this what you mean?" Jiang Chen took out the Gui Seal.

"The Gui Seal?" Ming Yusu exclaimed in surprise.

“I obtained this Gui Seal from the Hanzhang Hall of the Dayong Kingdom’s Imperial Palace. However, it is a magical artifact. Unfortunately, you are not yet strong enough to control it. If you force your way in, you will only become neither human nor ghost,” Jiang Chen said.

Last night, Jiang Chen had already studied the Gui Seal.

This is similar to the Yin Iron of the Chenling Continent in the Fourth World.

It is a ritual implement.

It is a magical artifact from the cultivation world. Since there are no cultivators in the Third World, magical artifacts cannot be used; they can only be obtained through blood sacrifice.

"you?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Ming Yusu's eyes showed shock.

Some of what Jiang Chen said was things she knew, and some she didn't know.

But she didn't think Jiang Chen was lying.

“I can return this to you, but if you agree to my request, join my Jiang family, and make Dongxia Kingdom a vassal state of my Jiang family, there will be even better things in the future,” Jiang Chen said.

“Young Master Jiang, I have agreed, and I will not regret it.” Ming Yusu was an ambitious and decisive person.

Jiang Chen smiled, took out his spatial bag, and authenticated Mingyu Suti and Xiang Antu.

"This……"

Sensing the presence of the spatial bag and listening to Jiang Chen's introduction, Ming Yusu and her daughter Xiang Antu felt as if they had met immortals.

“Mingyu Suti, you have another daughter, right?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Yes.” Ming Yusu nodded.

"Then let's call them over." Jiang Chen hadn't forgotten Mingxiang Silver Technique.

Soon, Mingyu Suti summoned Mingxiang Yinshu.

Ming Xiangyin is a character in the novel "The Legend of Zanghai".

In the drama, she serves as queen in the Dongxia regime. To realize her political ambitions, Mingxiang Yinshu leads an army to attack Dayong. During this time, she goes to Dayong as Queen of Dongxia to supervise Xiang Antiu, conveying a secret order to investigate his relationship with Zanghai, and threatening to assassinate him if Xiang Antiu cannot sever ties with Zanghai. With the death of the original Dongxia queen, Mingyu Suti, Mingxiang Yinshu officially succeeds as the new Dongxia queen.

Jiang Chen also certified Ming Xiangyin as a ninth-rank maid.

Having completed everything, he left cultivation resources for Mingyu Suti and Mingxiang Yinshu before departing with Xiang Antu.

After returning to the capital of the Great Yong Kingdom, Jiang Chen and Xiang Antu went to the Pillow Tower.

"Xiang Antu, now that you have the Jiang family's identity token, you can contact your mother at any time. However, since your level in the family communication pavilion is not high, the number of times you can contact her each month is limited," Jiang Chen said to Xiang Antu.

"Understood." Xiang Antu nodded.

After chatting with Xiang Antu for a few minutes, Jiang Chen left.

After saying goodbye to Xiang Antu, Jiang Chen found Liu Chu.

At the same time as Liuchu appeared, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received a low-to-medium grade spirit field modification map.]

"A low-to-mid-grade spirit field transformation plan?"

"This is the tenth time I've checked in."

According to the system introduction, this low-grade to mid-grade spirit field transformation map is used to transform existing land into mid-grade spirit fields.

A low-grade spirit field transformation blueprint can transform ten acres of low-grade spirit fields. A low-grade medium-grade spirit field transformation blueprint can transform ten acres of medium-grade spirit fields.

"The low-grade mid-grade spirit field transformation map is an upgraded version of the low-grade low-grade spirit field transformation map."

"This is good stuff."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Liu Chu is a character in "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea".

In the drama, she is one of Zang Hai's three masters, responsible for teaching him to seal his heart and prevent his emotions from hindering his revenge. When Zang Hai is suspected by Prince Yongrong, she steps in to help him out. Later, she helps Zang Hai take care of Xiang An Tu, the hostage who is locked in an underground chamber by him.

"The Six Beginnings in the Chronicle of the Tibetan Sea".

"I didn't expect she could actually sign in."

In the drama, Liu Chu serves as Zang Hai's guide on his path of revenge. On the surface, she is a cold and mysterious proprietress of a brothel, but in reality, she controls an intelligence network, acting as both mentor and strategist. When teaching Zang Hai how to reject a woman's tenderness, she uses the pomegranate as a metaphor for power politics, seamlessly blending passion and strategy.

The master-disciple relationship between Liu Chu and Cang Hai is not a traditional nurturing relationship, but a game of mutual exploitation and redemption.

After Zang Hai was initially deceived upon arriving in the capital, Liu Chu appeared and taught him how to resist temptation. Through real-life scenarios, she helped Zang Hai understand the complexity of human nature, warning him that emotions can be a fatal weakness in power struggles, and that only ruthlessness can bring revenge. She trained Zang Hai's coping skills by simulating revenge scenarios, improving his adaptability and insight.

In teaching Zang Hai, Liu Chu displayed both strictness and tenderness. By sharing her own background and experiences, she resonated with Zang Hai, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of human nature. Liu Chu was not only Zang Hai's mentor but also a crucial guide on his path of revenge. Her presence enabled Zang Hai to remain clear-headed and calm amidst the complex political situation and power struggles of the capital, preparing him thoroughly for his later incursions into dangerous situations such as the Marquis's mansion.

"Liu Chu's true identity is Kuai Duo's adopted sister. She has been living in anonymity for twenty years, protecting the son of her deceased friend, Cang Hai."

"I wonder if I can get a six-year-old at the Qing... Tower."

Jiang Chen looked Liu Chu up and down.

Upon seeing Liu Chu, Jiang Chen thought of Ren Duomei, Wen Di, and others.

Like Liu Chu and Ren Duomei, Liu Chu was played by the same actor in her previous life.

However, Jiang Chen did not contact Liu Chu.

In the next hour, Jiang Chen met Zhuang Luyin and the others.

Jiang Chen only had a casual acquaintance with these people.

However, Jiang Chen still kept an eye on Zhuang Luyin.

Zhuang Luyin was the Marquis of Pingjin and the Grand General Protector of the Great Yong Kingdom.

In the drama, he coveted the Gui Seal, which could mobilize the silent soldiers, and falsely accused Kuai Duo, the director of the Imperial Observatory, of treason, leading to the execution of Kuai Duo's entire family, with only his young son, Zang Hai, surviving. As the main obstacle on Zang Hai's path of revenge, Zang Hai consolidated his power by eliminating his advisors and sowing discord between him and his wife. Ultimately, he was imprisoned by Zang Hai's scheme during the power struggle.

"The drama describes Zhuang Luyin as a cunning, scheming, and ruthless person."

"I wonder what will happen to Zhuang Luyin in this world where film and television are intertwined?"

When Jiang Chen saw Zhuang Luyin, he couldn't help but take another look.

However, that's all.

For Jiang Chen, the art of geomancy was of interest.

What is Feng Shui?

Looking up to observe astronomy and down to examine geography, this is called geomancy.

Feng shui masters provide advice on living, burial, and construction by observing the terrain, topography, water flow, wind direction, and other natural environments, as well as calculating astronomical calendars.

Specifically, it refers to geomancy and construction, which involves surveying the terrain and combining geography and feng shui to build houses and tombs.

Those skilled in geomancy and construction possess profound knowledge of astronomy and geography. Based on natural features such as terrain, mountain shapes, and watercourses, they achieve harmony between humanity and nature through site selection, layout, and design of buildings. Methods such as "finding the dragon vein, observing the water, locating the acupoint, and determining the orientation" are used to determine the direction of mountain ranges and water flows. Furthermore, methods like using a compass are employed to determine the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of building locations.

A geomancer is simply a feng shui master.

In the second world, "Nine Streams Overlord," Feng Ge is a geomancer who has mastered geomancy.

The art of geomancy also exists in the Third and Fourth Worlds.

In particular, the Kyushu continent in the Fourth World has a fixed profession of Feng Shui master.

The Jiang family has developed over a long period of time, and there are quite a few feng shui masters within the family.

However, like array masters, feng shui masters only cover the most basic aspects.

Therefore, when exploring the capital of the Great Yong Kingdom, Jiang Chen went to the Imperial Observatory and found a lot of geomancy data.

Actually, Jiang Chen wanted to find Master Xingdou.

After all, Master Xingdou in the drama is Zanghai's first master and also a master of feng shui and construction.

In the drama, he teaches Zang Hai geomancy, including the observation of earth veins, mountain shapes, water flow, and orientation, as well as traditional wooden building construction techniques with mortise and tenon joints as the core.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen did not find Master Xingdou in the capital of the Dayong Kingdom.

Therefore, Jiang Chen could only discuss it later.

It was afternoon.

Jiang Chen returned to the Jiang residence in the suburbs of the capital of the Great Yong Kingdom.

"Greetings, young master." Lu Muping, Wei Yanwan, Ye Lanyi, Niohuru Xiuxin, Niohuru Yilan, and Fei Yunyan bowed.

“You’re the ones who accepted the mission.” Jiang Chen’s gaze swept over Lu Muping and the others. “Of all the countries I know about this new continent, I only know the most about two: the Winter and Summer Kingdom and the Great Yong Kingdom. That’s why I call this new continent the Winter and Summer Continent.”

As he spoke, Jiang Chen recounted the situation on the Winter and Summer Continent.

Of course, the information on other countries on the Winter and Summer Continent besides the Winter and Summer Kingdom and the Great Yong Kingdom was obtained in the Great Yong Kingdom's palace, but the information is not much and needs to be explored again.

Finally, Jiang Chen said, "Regarding the development of the Winter and Summer Continent, you can formulate a development plan based on the actual situation of the Winter and Summer Continent. In addition, I have already arranged for the Queen of the Winter and Summer Kingdom and her two princesses to join the Jiang family. From now on, the Winter and Summer Kingdom will be an asset to the family on the Winter and Summer Continent..."

It can be said that Jiang Chen explained things in great detail so that Lu Muping and the others could develop better in the Winter and Summer Continent.
