While I was slightly startled, Ye Yang said, "Have you divided the dragon's veins and cannibalized them?"

King An said: "It doesn't count! Back then, the dragon veins were cut off and the spiritual energy of the earth veins was scattered. Although many ghosts and monsters were bred, many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were also achieved."

"My dragon blood tea is one of them."

"You can taste it carefully, it will be of great benefit to your cultivation."

After I took a sip of dragon blood tea, I asked directly: "To be honest with King An, I am here this time to enter the prison camp of Zhengyang River to deal with some problems."

"Your Majesty, how much do you know about Shenyang River?"

King An said: "To talk about trapping the Yang River, we have to start with cutting the dragon's veins in the first place."

"You are all masters of martial arts. You should know the legend of 'Taizong Cutting the Dragon Vein', right?"

Among the folklore, the most widely circulated one about "dragon slaying" is that Zhu Yuanzhang sent Liu Bowen to slay the dragon.

In fact, there was another emperor who also cut the dragon's veins, and that was Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Legend has it that in order to "keep the country forever", Li Shimin sent eighty-one Taoist masters to various places to "cut off the dragon veins", leaving only the "only" one named Li.

Before the Han Dynasty, the Guanzhong Plain was covered with dense virgin forests, but by the Tang Dynasty, almost all the trees from Guanzhong to the Qinling Mountains had been cut down.

This is the evidence that when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty cut off the dragon's veins, he removed the dragon's scales.

I heard Ye Yang say before: different dragon veins mean different methods of killing dragons.

The three most common dragon veins are Shenglong, Panlong and Wolong.

Cutting off the rising dragon: artificially cutting off the mountains, earth veins or water veins at the waist of the "rising dragon", so that "the rising dragon cannot rise".

To kill the Coiling Dragon is to dig out the earth veins at its neck artificially, so that "the Coiling Dragon cannot look back."

To kill the crouching dragon, it is necessary to use the method of "moving mountains and mountains" to hold down the dragon's head so that "the crouching dragon cannot raise its head".

As we walked all the way from Blackwater Castle, the dragon's tail and waist were cut off.

Could it be that the people who cut off the dragon veins used different techniques at that time?

King An said: "The Taoist priests sent by Taizong were shocked when they discovered the hidden dragon vein here!"

"They didn't expect that the dragon veins here not only have the potential to break through the sky and soar into the sky, but also can be broken and regenerated."

I couldn't help but interrupt when I heard this: "You mean: this hidden dragon vein can regenerate itself even if it is cut off?"

"Yes!" Wang An said: "Those Taoist priests have never seen such a dragon vein. After several studies, they decided on the plan to cut off the veins."

"Change the river course and cut off the dragon's tail."

"Build a stone gate and cut off the dragon's waist."

"Dig the veins of the earth and cut off the dragon's neck."

"Forge the city and stabilize the leader."

"So, the imperial court mobilized tens of thousands of prisoners and established a prison camp here."

"Wait a minute!" I stared at Prince An and said: "As far as I know, this place was not included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty during the Tang Dynasty, but was under the rule of Heishui Mohe."

"You said that a Taoist priest was traveling here at that time and discovered the hidden dragon vein. I believe it."

"But you said that tens of thousands of prisoners were used to dig dragon veins and build cities here? Could it be that Heishui Mohe at that time allowed the Tang Dynasty to send tens of thousands of prisoners into his territory?"

King An laughed and said, "Mr. Li, you underestimate the methods of those wandering Taoists."

"As far as I know, those Taoists at that time persuaded the leader of Heishui Mohe at that time to cut off the dragon veins here without using any soldiers from the Tang Dynasty."

I probably understand what King An means: he means that those Taoist priests used extraordinary means at that time.

These methods are also often used by warlocks. The simplest method is to attract ghosts themselves to make the employer feel uneasy at home, and then the warlock will step forward to help the employer exorcise the evil spirits and control the house.

Those warlocks back then probably used similar methods, but their skills were astonishingly large.

King An continued: "Back then, after those warlocks killed the dragon here, in order to suppress the evil energy of the dragon veins, they built four bunkers, leaving some Taoist priests to neutralize the evil energy, which are the several fortresses you saw along the way."

"However, there are still ghosts and ghosts here. Ghosts often break out of the ground and kill people."

"The Taoist sect knows that if the ghosts cannot be effectively suppressed, the secret of the underground dragon vein will be discovered sooner or later. However, they can't think of a good way, so they can only report it to the court."

"The imperial court was at a loss for what to do for the moment."

"In the end, the Six Gates came up with the idea of ​​exiling the warlocks to suppress the ghosts."

"The six gates allocate the warlocks to different places according to their level. The weakest warlock is placed in the Blackwater Castle, and only the strongest warlock can enter the prison camp."

"On the surface, those warlocks can accumulate meritorious deeds in the prison camp in exchange for reduced sentences. However, the six gates will not give them the opportunity to get out of the place of exile."

"The only one who can go back from here is the six-door policeman."

"So that's it!" I nodded slightly: "No wonder, all the detectives who escorted the prisoners will have their memories wiped after returning. It turns out that they don't want to expose the real secret of the place of exile."
