The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 229
Liu Bowen slaying the dragon incident.

This is not a secret in Xuanmen, it has been recorded in many unofficial histories, and there are different opinions.

It is said that in order to protect the Ming Dynasty forever, Liu Bowen took a few apprentices to travel all over the world's famous mountains and rivers. When they encountered Fengshui dragon veins, they would bury dragon-slaying nails to dissipate the dragon's energy and damage their Fengshui.

The journey of slaying dragons lasted for three years. In three years, Liu Bowen cut off hundreds of dragon veins, large and small, which can be described as ruthless means.

This is just an unofficial legend, and it stands to reason that it cannot be taken as true.

But later, Yanxia's luck did plummet, and a dragon was born in Changbai Mountain, the first mountain outside the pass, and took away the imperial power. It was also called the last real dragon in Yanxia's history.

Because the dragon seized power outside the pass, and later closed the country, Yanxia's luck was reversed by a hundred years. On the contrary, the unofficial history of Liu Bowen's dragon slaying became more and more mysterious, and many people believed it.

But as a true Taoist, one should understand that the dragon veins in the world are from Kunlun, and the Kunlun ancestor dragon veins are not extinct, and new dragon veins will continue to be bred in the world. If Liu Bowen can cut it for a while, how can it be broken forever?
Liu Bowen, as a feng shui master who has shaken the past and the present, cannot fail to understand this truth.

What's more, Liu Bowen is not an ambitious and evil national teacher. Although he assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in bringing down the Great Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for him to do such unreasonable and morally damaging things in order to protect Zhu's family for generations to come.

So I immediately responded to Zhu Laoba: "I have indeed heard about the dragon slaying incident, but I think there must be deviations in the unofficial history. Mr. Zhu, why did you suddenly mention this matter? Could it be related to the funeral tomb?"

Zhu Laoba grinned and said: "Mr. Liu slaying the dragon is a real thing, but this is not to protect my Zhu family from falling, but to find the specific location of the burial tomb."

Seeing what Zhu Laoba said, I immediately pricked up my ears.

He is a master storyteller, and he told me very quickly, so that I could understand the ins and outs.

The matter dates back to the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had been in power for many years. Under his diligent and honest government, although there were occasional wars on the border, the Ming Dynasty was already stable, and it could be regarded as a peaceful country.

But Zhu Yuanzhang encountered something similar to Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and he began to dream in the middle of the night.

Although there was no dragon girl claiming her life in the dream, it was also extremely bizarre. He often saw a vast galaxy in his dreams.

The astrology in the emperor's dream is not a bad omen, it can even be regarded as a good omen, implying that the mountains and rivers are shining brightly.

But at the end of every dream, the stars in the sky would fall, as if the sky had fallen, smashing the mountains and rivers into pieces, and every time Zhu Yuanzhang woke up from his sleep.

If he only had such a dream occasionally, Zhu Yuanzhang would not take it seriously. After all, he was exhausted from working day and night on state affairs, and he could understand nightmares.

But after having such dreams several times in a row, Zhu Yuanzhang realized something was wrong, and quickly summoned Liu Bowen to interpret the dream.

Liu Bowen knew astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, and his Feng Shui skills can be said to have reached its peak. After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's dream, he frowned deeply.

Liu Bowen told Zhu Yuanzhang not to be nervous, just sleep peacefully.

But he led a big black dog to the roof of the palace.

After watching the stars in the sky at night on the roof of the palace for seven days and seven nights, the big black dog suddenly bled from its seven orifices and died instantly.

Liu Bowen returned to the palace and met Zhu Yuanzhang again.

These days Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t have that nightmare anymore, he felt much more relaxed. He thought it was Liu Bowen who helped him solve the evil, and repeatedly praised Liu Bowen as the world’s number one Fengshui master. It was Zhu Yuanzhang’s good fortune to have such a national master to assist him. .

But Liu Bowen had a gloomy face, with a preoccupied look.

Zhu Yuanzhang sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Liu Bowen what was going on.

Liu Bowen said that there are changes in the astrology, which can't be seen by ordinary people's eyes. He looked at the sky with the eyes of a dog, and only after seven days did he realize the mystery.

And the big black dog completely ruined his life because he dared to spy on the sky.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, and hurriedly asked Liu Bowen what secret he had discovered.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Bowen said truthfully: "The master of fighting numbers, Ziwei Xingchang."
