If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 959: Geomancy Map of China

In order to help Xiaoyu eliminate her concerns about becoming the Heavenly Master of the Great Qin, Meng Qi talked to her for a long time.

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when Xiaoyu entered the Imperial Observatory.

As the sun set, Meng Qi took Xiao Yu to look for the "office" in the Imperial Observatory.

In recent years, many of the Great Qin Heavenly Masters have fled.

The Imperial Observatory, which seemed crowded during the reign of Emperor Renhuang and was expanded several times, now looked somewhat empty and lonely.

Many palaces were vacant, and there were more houses to choose from, which wasted more time.

“The Imperial Observatory has three departments and nine divisions. The three departments are the Heavenly Emperor Hall, the Earthly Emperor Hall, and the Human Emperor Hall.

The Emperor's Palace is in charge of the "heavenly destiny" of the heavens, the earth, the stars, and so on.

For example, observing the stars and gaining insight into the country's destiny.

The Dihuang Palace is in charge of the affairs of the underworld ghosts and gods, while the Renhuang Palace is in charge of human affairs.

For example, investigating prophecies should be the responsibility of the person in charge of the Human Emperor Palace.

The three major yamen are further divided into three small yamen, which divide the affairs of heaven, earth and man into nine categories.

Basically, all matters related to gods, demons, ghosts, geomancy and fate are under the supervision of the Emperor of Astronomy.

It's not just the royal family that needs our help when they encounter problems.

Ministers in the court and common people in the city can also come to the Imperial Observatory to report cases."

Meng Qi pointed at the "Qianhe Temple" chosen by Xiao Yu, "Qianhe Temple was originally the elegant residence of 'Fuqiu Gong', and it has been empty for fifty years. Fuqiu Gong was the head of the Immortal Beast Department of the Human Emperor Palace.

The Qingluan envoy who brought you to the court last year belonged to the Immortal Beast Division."

The scenery at Qianheguan is elegant enough, the space is large, and it is empty with no one.

Xiaoyu doesn't have to share a table with others, and can occupy a hall and a courtyard all to himself.

There are also disadvantages. Qianhe Temple is a bit remote, away from the city wall and outside the city.

It would have been fine if we were outside the city, but right outside the wall was a market.

Not only do villagers from nearby come to the market, but merchants from other places and foreign countries also trade goods here.

The air is too full of fireworks, and the heavenly masters don't like it.

"Which government office does the Human Emperor's Guard Room belong to?" Xiao Yu asked.

Meng Qi glanced at her and said, “The Tibetan Guard Room does not belong to any government office, it is only guarded by the Grand Tutor.

The Grand Master can appoint someone he trusts to manage the place."

Xiaoyu had a conflicted expression.

After all, she still has to be the Grand Tutor.

"Master Meng, the Jiuzhou earth vein test has roughly produced results."

As the two were talking, the green-haired Guan Zhenren suddenly appeared in front of them and handed a map directly to Meng Qi.

"I estimate that a 'yellow-level' earthquake will occur north of the Jing River."

When Meng Zhenjun opened the map, he saw that on the north bank of the Jing River, which stretched for 5,000 miles, there was a large area painted red, with a circle of light yellow area around it.

"About what time?" he asked.

"Judging from the surge of earth power, an earthquake may occur within half a month." said Master Guan.

Meng Zhenjun frowned and said, "It is the end of the year now, and doesn't the half month just happen to be around New Year's Eve?
At the end of the year, most of the county's population was evacuated to other places.

It is inevitable that public resentment will boil over.

The task of relocating the people was also difficult to accomplish.

Once an earthquake occurs, many people will die. We don’t know how many prophecies similar to ‘The ancestor dragon dies, and the Qin Dynasty falls’ will appear in various parts of the world.”

Master Guan sighed softly and said, “There is nothing we can do about it.

Our Imperial Observatory is only responsible for monitoring the fluctuations of the earth's veins in Kyushu.

Once the news has been notified, the local county magistrate will be responsible for taking precautions against natural disasters in advance.

As for the rumors"

He thought for a moment and said, "Since we are going to relocate the people, we must tell them the reason.

Why don’t we post a notice in Xianyang as well?

First let the world know that the earthquake was not caused by the court's misconduct, but was the aftermath of the Qinling earthquake."

Meng Zhenjun smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't the prophecy of the fall of the Qin Dynasty caused by the earthquake in the Qinling Mountains?
Once the court posts a notice, others will only believe the prophecy more."

Guan Zhenren said: "The prophecy has spread, and the court announced the Jingshui earthquake, which at least indirectly gave a response.

The earthquake in Qinling Mountains was a sign of the dragon vein turning over, which was a good omen. The earthquake in Jingshui was a normal release of earth veins.

The common people are not ignorant.

In the past, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory often issued earthquake forecasts.

This year alone, there have been seven earthquakes of sufficient magnitude in Kyushu.

Including the subsequent Jinghe earthquake, it was only the eighth one.

Compared with previous years, this year's Daqin can even be described as having good weather and good harvests, and God has blessed us."

Meng Zhenjun nodded slightly and sighed: "No matter how much effect it has, what Zhenren said is not wrong. Let's do it this way."

He handed the map back to Guan Zhenren, who then disappeared into the ground in a flash.

Seeing Xiao Yu's curiosity, Meng Qi explained, "The veins of the Nine Provinces are crisscrossed, and a single move can affect the entire body.

The Qinling Mountains gather dragon energy, which will naturally affect the surrounding mountains and rivers.

Master Guan monitored that a yellow-level earthquake might occur in the areas along the Jing River in Beidi County and Longxi County.

The universe is vast and boundless, the sky and the earth are dark and yellow, there are eight levels, and there are quantitative natural disasters and catastrophes.

Any level, even the most common 'yellow' level, will cost lives and require migration to avoid disaster."

Xiao Yu asked: "What is the scale of the highest level of earthquake?"

Meng Zhenjun said: "Back then, Gong Gong angrily hit Mount Buzhou, causing the pillars of heaven to collapse, the sky to break, and the earth to break into pieces. This is considered the second level.

The higher level is to repeat the earth, water, wind and fire."

Xiao Yu asked in confusion: "When the Qinling Mountains' veins were active last night, the aftermath should have been released immediately. How could it have affected Longxi County thousands of miles away?"

Last night she controlled the dead dragon veins and used dragon energy to clear the meridians in the "corpse of the ancestor dragon".

While reducing the dissipation of dragon energy, it also makes the flow of earth energy smoother.

In theory, it will only be good for the "health" of the earth and mountains.

Just like when people exercise, the body may feel a little sore and tired, but this is good for the overall health of the body.

Meng Qi asked, "When you were in Xishu, your mind and the earth's veins interacted. How large a range could you sense?"

Xiao Yu said vaguely: "A little half of Western Shu."

Meng Qi glanced at her and felt that she was lying and hiding her abilities.

He did not expose her, and asked again: "After you obtained the power of the Heavenly Master last night, how large was the range of your interaction with the earth veins?"

"A few hundred miles." Xiaoyu said.

Meng Qi couldn't help but said, "Fairy Yu, do you know how big the Qinling Mountains are?

Hundreds of miles is just one mountain in Qinling! But the entire Qinling was moving last night.

Therefore, your sympathetic range covers at least the entire Qinling Mountains, thousands of miles in radius!"

He was still conservative. Xiaoyu sensed half of China, and his mind was in harmony with the earth's veins, radiating thousands of miles.

Xiaoyu said: "Last night, I felt the earth was very peaceful. The Jing River is not far from the Qinling Mountains." Within her perception range, there were no aftermath of the earth veins that needed to be vented.

Meng Qi said: "If Qin Ling was a patient before, he would borrow a penny from his neighbor's family every day to see a doctor and take medicine.

Now that he has recovered from his illness and doesn't need to take medicine anymore, won't his neighbor save on medicine expenses?

When the patient recovers and starts to go back to work, how many people will be affected?
Manpower will eventually be exhausted.

With the authority of Heavenly Master, your perception is far from enough to cover the southern continent.

But Jambu Continent is a small whole.

The geographical veins of the four continents form a large whole.

If Qinling stops taking medicine, the impact will not only be felt within a radius of thousands of miles, but will affect the entire China and even the entire human world!

Because the Qinling Mountains are the vein of the ancestral dragon, Shenzhou is the center of the human world.

On the whole, this influence is beneficial to the stability of the earth's veins.

This is also the purpose of our Heavenly Masters to dredge the earth veins and regulate yin and yang, so as to maintain peace and prosperity in the human world."

Xiao Yu asked, "Did Master Guan borrow the divine tool when he measured the activity of the earth veins in Shenzhou?"

Meng Qi nodded and said: "In Shenzhou, all the famous mountains and rivers have had their 'True Shape Maps' confiscated by Emperor Ying Zheng.

Piecing together the true shapes of mountains and rivers, we get the 'Feng Shui Map of China'.

If you are interested, you can go to the 'Emperor's Palace' to take a look.

I think you are very suitable to be the head of the Emperor's Palace.

You are really talented at this.”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "This junior also thinks that he has some talent."

Meng Qi smiled slightly, "Then I will give you the position of the head of the Emperor's Palace. Your official position is -"

"Hey, wait a minute, senior, you can just arrange me to the Emperor's Palace, why should I give up my throne?" Xiao Yu interrupted him and asked.

Meng Qi said: "In fact, during the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang, the position of 'Grand Master' was not permanent. The head of the Heavenly Emperor Palace was the head of the Heavenly Masters, equivalent to the Grand Master.

In other words, only the Heavenly Master who has the ability to preside over the affairs of the Emperor's Palace is qualified to become the Grand Master."

Xiaoyu was speechless.

——Can we still have a normal conversation?

Every topic you talk about seems like a trap, trying to trick me into the position of Grand Tutor.

"Senior, please take me to the Emperor's Palace first to take a look and familiarize myself with the business of the Heavenly Master of the Emperor's Palace."

"Well, you and I—"

Before Meng Qi finished his words, another beam of light emerged from the ground.

It was the head of the Dihuang Palace, the little Taoist boy Yang Li, who had had an argument with Xiaoyu earlier.

"Master Meng, Fairy Yu, someone has come to the Li Mansion. It's Prime Minister Li's retainer, Black Rakshasa." He said woodenly.

Meng Zhenjun glanced at Xiaoyu and said, "First, you should settle the case of the prophecy, and then I will officially arrange a position for you."

Xiao Yu nodded in agreement and asked, "Tianshi Yangli, is Black Rakshasa in the front hall?"

"I took him to the 'Huang Daoxuan' next door." Yang Li said.

"Then I'll go first, senior, you go and get busy."

Xiaoyu also shrank his body, disappeared into the ground.

Yang Li frowned and glanced at the ground, then hesitantly asked, "Master Meng, are you just going to let Yu Fengxian do whatever she wants?"

Meng Zhenjun said calmly: "Do you think I favor her?"

“If Master Meng really loves Yu Fengxian, he should try not to let her make too many enemies. There is absolutely no need to offend Prime Minister Li.” Yang Li said.

Meng Zhenjun sighed, "I am not partial to her, I am planning to let her take my place and lead the Imperial Observatory.

Once she becomes familiar with the affairs of the Imperial Observatory, I will leave Xianyang.

Since she is the candidate for the Grand Master, why should I care about her?"

Yang Li's expression changed slightly, "If you offend too many powerful people, even if you are a real Grand Master, it will not be easy."

Meng Zhenjun disagreed and said, “In the years to come, I will be a good Grand Tutor of the Great Qin.

It is inevitable that one will offend the heaven and be cursed and hated by the immortals of the world.

A mere nobleman is only worthy of being her stepping stone. I hope Li Si doesn't do anything stupid."

Yang Li did not hide the doubt on his face, "You think too highly of Yu Fengxian."

"You look down on Immortal Huang An and the Shenxiao Sect too much."

Meng Qi looked at him strangely and said, "The Shenxiao Sect can at least be ranked in the top ten among the thirty-six immortal sects.

The Maoshan Dao you are in has not yet entered the 'Thirty-Six Immortal Gates'!"

Yang Li's face flushed, "I just said that the water in Xianyang is very deep, and Yu Fengxian can't control herself.

But I didn't say that I was stronger than her, and I didn't mean to involve my master."

Meng Qi said: "She has already defeated the Shenxiao Sect. Why do you, a little Taoist from Maoshan who has not yet achieved immortality, look down on her?"

"When was the Shenxiao Sect defeated? Even though the Immortal Huang An passed away and Master Hu was defeated, the Shenxiao Sect still has many immortals!" Yang Li said.

Meng Qi patted his shoulder and sighed, "When I am about to leave, I will notify you half a day in advance, and you can run away with me!
The water in Xianyang is too deep, you can’t hold it!”

Black Rakshasa is an Asian European with dark skin.

Completely Asian facial features and body, rough black skin like a pig, burgundy hair, and emerald green eyes.

It is very consistent with his identity as a "strange man".

Well, strange people practice all kinds of weird and secret techniques, and often make their bodies and hair look "non-mainstream".

As soon as Xiaoyu saw him, he felt a little regretful: he should have turned into a little Taoist boy first, and took the opportunity to serve him tea to let him trigger the "Great Destruction of Dad".

She sensed some danger from the other party: if she attacked first, he would be dead, without even a chance to fight back; if she acted arrogantly and let the other party attack first, she would be in a miserable state, or even seriously injured.

——As expected of the capital of China, the water in Xianyang is deep enough that a mere “ordinary alien” can threaten me.

"Black Rakshasa, right? I am Yu Fengxian, what do you want from me?" Xiao Yu bowed casually and sat down on the chair at the top.

Black Rakshasa bowed respectfully and said, "I am Mo Lian, nicknamed Black Rakshasa, and I am here to meet Master Yu Tian.

I came here this time at the request of Princess Hua Ling to inquire about the case of Hua Rong and Zhao Wu.

What did they do wrong? Why were they arrested as soon as they saw Master Yu Tian? "

Xiao Yu said: "It is you who doesn't know about the prophecy of Zulong's death and the fall of the Qin Dynasty, or is it Princess Hualing who doesn't know?
Even if she gets married, she will always be a member of the royal family of the Yingjia Dynasty.

Even when her own dynasty was about to be overthrown by traitors, she still showed partiality to her servants.

If the Qin Dynasty really perishes one day, what will be the fate of the remnants of the previous dynasty?
If she doesn't understand, talk to her carefully."

Black Rakshasa looked grim, and said in a deep voice: "Master Yu, are you sure you want me to tell the princess about this disobedient statement?"

"Not only should you tell it to the princess, but also let your Prime Minister Li listen carefully.

If you plan to find the Queen Mother, tell her again." Xiao Yu said.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Black Rakshasa's face was gloomy, "I will go and tell them right away."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

As soon as he left Huang Daoxuan, Meng Qi floated up from the ground and frowned, "Aren't you too rude?"

"I've been a barbarian all my life and have never done any delicate work. If you are not satisfied, you can do it?" Xiao Yu said.

Meng Qi waved his hands repeatedly, "You do it, I will just watch and not interfere at all."
