The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 184 Qiyuan Lake
Qi Lingmen governs Yongzhou, with its capital in Yongcheng.

On the Sheji Altar, which covers an area of ​​thousands of feet in the north of the city, hundreds of laborers were constructing a huge building in the center of the altar.

A group of officers and soldiers patrolled back and forth to see if there were any laborers who were lazy or slacking off at work. Soil of various strange colors was mixed in the mud and was carefully piled on the huge building by master craftsmen who were proficient in carving and architecture.

The governor of Yongzhou, who was revered by all the people in the city, was usually worshipped wherever he went. But now he humbly followed behind several young people, with an extremely flattering look on his face. He bowed respectfully and said, "My fellow immortal masters, there are six prefectures and thirty-two counties in this state. In every town, according to the order of the immortals, altars have been built to collect soil from all over the world to build statues of the gods.

Eighteen counties and four prefectures have already started construction, and the rest are in preparation for mobilization."

The leading man among the five monks frowned slightly when he heard this, "This matter has been handed down for more than a month, how come the county government has not started construction yet?

"Please hand over the list of prefectures and counties that have not yet started construction. I will ask several junior brothers to go and urge them to work. If anyone resists or slacks off, from the lowest officials to the highest prefects and county magistrates, they can all be executed immediately."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of many officials around him changed, and those who had something to hide began to worry.

Seeing them like this, Shen Qingfeng naturally knew the various interests collusion among officials. He was just waiting for the prefect to present the list and then to shock them.

The prefect Gu Zhiming had visible sweat on his forehead. He could only hand over a document with trembling hands and replied cautiously: "Master Immortal, this is the situation in each prefecture a few days ago."

After receiving the document, Shen Qingfeng glanced at it and said coldly, "To shirk responsibility in this way is really to disregard the order.

The officials below have enjoyed peace for so long that they have forgotten whose territory this official and this people belong to.

Junior brothers, please go and see that all the magistrates of five counties and one prefecture have been beheaded."

After several disciples took the official document and confirmed it, they all said yes, then they each rode on the Dharma Cloud and left, flying away in public.

"This is the most important matter in the sect, and no one in the five states and one city dares to disobey. Even though Yongzhou has many immortal cultivators and many clan members, if anyone dares to delay the progress, he will be killed without mercy.

No matter whose descendants or disciples they are, they are useless. This is something the headmaster has personally instructed. If you don't take it to heart, I will not be afraid of the trouble to replace all the officials in your entire Yongzhou City. "Shen Qingfeng swept his eyes coldly over the officials present and warned again.

"Yes! Yes! Don't worry, Immortal Master. We in the whole state will work together to get this done." The prefect took the lead and responded respectfully.

Shen Qingfeng still had a cold look on his face. He waved away everyone and then stared at the huge statue in front of him in silence.

Even though only 20% to 30% of the statue has been built, it can still be vaguely seen that it is a statue of an animal, and the huge and sharp claws have already been carved into shape.

He thought secretly in his heart that more than a hundred cities in the five states were building this legendary statue of the ancient divine bird. It was said that it was the sect's ancestor who personally requested it, and the sect leader sent disciples to various states to supervise.

The ancient name of this mythical bird was Shangyang. It is said to be the symbol of the ancestor's original destiny and is used to commemorate the sacrifice.

The statue cost a lot of money and effort, and I am afraid that the common people will suffer. But as long as it is beneficial to the sect, it is worth it.

Shen Qingfeng looked into the distance and saw that outside Yongzhou City, thousands of ordinary people were digging soil and taking stones from the mountains, collecting all kinds of rare and exotic soils, and then transporting them back to the city without any complaints, and sending them to the side of the Altar of Land and Grain for forging and stacking.

Not only that, the three states of Qingzhou, Tingqi and Xiayou are also carrying out such a huge undertaking.

The Daqie Lake near the Qiling Mountain Gate is somewhat different from the newly established Yuanzhou.

In Yuanzhou, many counties and towns mobilized large-scale labor, including thousands of farmers and laborers, and even soldiers to build the canal, dredging the 17 rivers in Yuanzhou into two huge rivers, one in the south and the other in the north, dividing the basin, but both ended up flowing into Daqie Lake.

Beside the Daqie Lake, the two banks are separated by a vast ocean. The lake is nearly a thousand miles wide. Large and small ships are floating on the lake, and spirit boats are flying in the sky.

Hundreds of Qi Ling Sect disciples were carrying Fayun, busy casting spells and transporting stones in the middle of the lake, sinking them into the center of the lake.

The center of the lake was in the shape of a terrifying whirlpool, and the water was constantly being sucked into the whirlpool. Fortunately, there was a large light curtain thousands of feet away on all sides to isolate the gravity of the center of the lake and prevent boats from being sucked into the whirlpool.

In mid-air, there were two true practitioners standing in the air.

The gray-haired Lu Fei looked at the formation in the center of the lake and said to the monk beside him with a proud smile: "My Guanxu Fengshui formation is a ground-grade spiritual formation. It mobilizes the power of the three earth elements, Chou, Ji, and Wu, so that I can set up the altar in the center of the lake.

Hundreds of disciples and tens of thousands of mortals have worked hard for more than a year and finally put enough stone foundation into the lake. Now I will ask you to use your magical powers to erect the statue."

The man beside him was over eight feet tall, with a sturdy body, a broad forehead and a flat top. His tiger eyes gave off an oppressive feeling. He said in a rough voice, "I have only been away from the sect for a few decades, and the Qi River has become like this. It can even be called an inner sea.

This place is far away from the earth, I am afraid my magical power will be weakened by 30%."

This person was none other than Fang Yan, who had just returned to the mountain not long ago and was a rare true practitioner of Ji Tu in the sect.

"With the blessing of my spiritual formation, you can do whatever you want." Lu Fei said with a smile: "If all else fails, there is still the Jitu spiritual object given by the master as a backup."

"Okay, I feel relieved now that you said that, Senior Brother." Fang Yan felt much more relieved, and he raised his voice to the lake and said, "All disciples, please move away, lest you get hurt and fall into the lake and suffer more."

These words were like thunder, scaring more than a hundred Qi Ling Sect disciples into setting up Dharma Clouds and fleeing from the vortex.

Fang Yan's figure flashed and he stood in the center of the whirlpool. His eyes lit up with a light khaki color. He looked through the slightly blue water and saw the soil and rocks that had sunk for dozens of miles under the center of the lake.

These soils and rocks are the Ji Tu spiritual mines "Xuanyin Wet Soil" and "Ji Yin Stone" that the Qi Ling Sect disciples transported day and night.

Although they are only yellow-grade spiritual objects, such a quantity is still worth a lot of money.

His mind sank and he activated his magical powers, a faint earthy yellow light emanating from his body. Thick dark yellow fog emanated from Fang Yan himself, and sank into the center of the constantly rotating lake.

Beneath the lake, countless rocks and earth are moved by the influence of the earth. Ji earth is born and when it sees water divided into two, it changes into Hai and conceives Zi. The earth sinks into the source of life, Kui water, which locks its root and sinks Ren water. Zi and Hai meet at Gui, and according to the position of the Eight Trigrams, it is located in the Kan Palace.

In the Xuanyuan world, Li Yuan deep in the Immortal Palace was also silently watching the various waters on the Daqie Lake combine and change, with all five types of water being present, generating self-generated primordial water.

Even if the True Lords in Heaven saw something, they would be wondering which water virtue it was, and the possibility of targeting Yuanshui would be much smaller.

Li Yuan has been paving the way for his return to the light of day. Under the influence of his magical powers over the years, the Qi Ling Sect has been intent on expanding the width of the Daqie Lake, and now it is no less than two thousand miles wide.

The common people around Lake Daqie have all been relocated, and there are very few scattered people in the surrounding area of ​​thousands of miles.

Only Yuncheng, which is now on a high ground, is still near the Daqie Lake. This lake was originally just a big river, but after the old dragon turned into a dragon, it was divided into a big swamp. In addition, the Qiling Sect intentionally or unintentionally caused clouds and rain to accumulate water here in recent years, which created the water of the river and lake today.

As Ji Tu's magical power changed, the dormant Ji Tu spiritual objects in the center of the lake rose up and gathered together, forming a platform a hundred feet high and a thousand feet long and wide. It stood in the center of the lake and slowly calmed the whirlpool that had been spinning non-stop.

Under the water of the entire Daqie Lake, one can vaguely see the four colors of black, green, blue and yellow flowing and converging in the center of the lake.

Fang Yan pushed his supernatural powers to the extreme. [True Kui Gang Sha] is the Ji Earth supernatural power, which can gather the clouds of Tian Gang and the energy of Di Sha, and use the image of Zhen Kui to form Ji Earth Sha fog, which can trap and imprison people, and is quite useful.

Seeing that he was gradually struggling to display his magical powers, Lu Fei, who was standing by, activated the spiritual formation. Thousands of forbidden formation patterns emerged, pushing away the water from all directions in the center of the lake.

Seeing this, Fang Yan quickly moved his mind, raised his sleeves, released two auras, one blue and one white, and shouted, "Fall!"

These two energies fell into the center of the lake, merged into the Ji Earth altar, gathered water veins from all directions, and were entangled by the nature of water. They turned into two giant pythons that were entangled, half of their bodies in the water and half of their bodies standing on the lake, with the two blue and white python heads standing back to back.

The white snake looks north, the green snake looks south.

The Kan water in the north is led into the head of the white snake, and the Gui water in the south is led into the head of the green snake. This huge six-hundred-foot-high statue stands in the center of the lake, suppressing the Ren and Gui water veins in the north and south, combining the Zi and Hai water veins in the east and west, and determining the water qi within a radius of thousands of miles.

Seeing that the task was accomplished, Fang Yan took back his magical power while panting, and said with a sigh of relief: "I don't know what the use of this spirit statue is. Once its power is formed, I have some indescribable feelings."

Lu Fei looked at the rather agile blue and white heads and shook his head, saying, "Who knows? I have never heard of any Taoist sect like the blue and white snakes, but the water spirit of Yue Noi might be prepared for Han Shangwei."

As the two were talking, a cloud of light came flying over, and they saw an old man with a white beard riding on the cloud.

"Brother Zuo, why are you here?"

When Lu Fei saw this person, he was stunned and asked respectfully.

Everyone in the sect respects this existence. Except for the three top positions and the old leader, all true practitioners have to respectfully call him "senior brother" and dare not lower his status.

"Haha, it was the headmaster who asked me to come here to give this lake a new life." Zuo Qiuyu said with a smile: "This river was called Qi River in ancient times, and it was once the place where the southern barbarians made a pact and swore an oath.

However, the sect is no longer the same as it was before, so this name is no longer applicable. I discussed it with the sect leader and changed it to a new name.

How do you two see?"

After he said that, he slowly spread out his hands, and then he saw four mysterious Tai Chi energies, each carrying a flying stone, falling to the four directions of east, west, south, and north. The stones were a hundred feet high, standing on the ground. Where the stone touched the ground, a turtle grew, like a stone turtle carrying a huge stone, with a snake body coiled around the stone body, and a snake head on the top.

There are three words engraved on each of the four stone tablets, namely "Qiyuan Lake".

"Qiyuan Lake?"

Lu Fei was quite surprised. "It's a good name. It sounds more suitable than the original Qiehu."

"Haha, that's exactly the truth." Zuo Qiuyu said with a smile: "The water in this lake gathers thousands of miles of water veins, and it is the creation of heaven and earth. It has all four waters, Zi, Hai, Ren and Gui, which correspond to the four symbols, but also the opposition of yin and yang, and the ultimate principle of Tai Chi."

He looked at the vast lake with a slightly cloudy gaze, as if he remembered something, and said with a puzzled look on his face, "No, there is something mysterious about this lake.

Go and report back to the headmaster. I will be here in Qiyuan Lake to gain enlightenment and will not be returning to the mountain for the time being."

After saying that, Zuoqiu Yu descended from the clouds and walked on the sparkling water. He walked slowly on the water at an unhurried pace. The lake reflected the sky, the mountains hanging in the water, the setting sun, the floating light and the still shadows.

Zuo Qiuyu, with a head full of white hair, walked step by step to the huge statue of a green and white snake head, closed his eyes quietly, and stood in the middle of the vast lake as if he was asleep.

This scene made Lu Fei and Fang Yan a little confused, but they did not dare to disturb this person, so they had to look at each other and go back to the mountain to inform the leader.

In the Xuanyuan Realm, Li Yuan was not surprised when he saw this scene. Instead, he chuckled. This Taoist priest was of great importance. With him guarding here, there would surely be no blind people who would come to do bad things again.

Even when Lord Sun's spirit was reincarnated, he did not attack the old Tai Chi master. This is enough to show that the True Lords are even more wary of the Tai Chi orthodoxy.

The Four Waters Taoist tradition lacks the original water, but has an additional Tai Chi, two yin and yang, four images, true and false, who can be sure that this is definitely the original water?

The lake was rippling with ripples, the old man stood there with a solemn look, the sun's shadow was slanting, the setting sun was melting into gold, and the evening clouds merged into a wall.

The moon is at its zenith in the sky, its sparse shadows slant across the shallow water, and a faint fragrance floats under the bright moon.

The old man seemed to be in deep sleep, unaware of the passage of time.

Until the next day, when the morning light bathed the mountains and the first ray of sunlight fell on the lake, ripples appeared on the calm water. A young man walked on the water, with the rising sun on his back, and came to the old man.

"Taiji descendant, since you have come to the world to gain enlightenment, why do you need to interfere in the chaos of the world?"

The young man in Mu Yang asked with a faint smile.

Zuo Qiuyu opened his eyes, and his pupils were filled with the slowly rising sun, but there was no trace of the young boy.

"The sun's rays illuminate the nine heavens and ten earths. Your Excellency is in good spirits. Although I have cultivated Tai Chi, I am not its successor. I wonder what you mean?"

"It is true that I have not escaped from the ignorance of the mortal world, but it is reasonable." The young man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "An old friend once said to me this: life and death are simultaneous, and death and life are simultaneous. The Tai Chi Yi theory contains yin and yang. I am only yang, not yin, so I cannot understand the true way.

I just hope that since you have come to this world, you will not linger too much in the mundane world."

Zuo Qiuyu frowned and thought for a moment, "I was born in Qi Ling, so I should repay the favor. Even if you are a great man in heaven or a great supernatural being, I will leave after I have repaid my earthly ties. If you try to stop me, the worst that can happen is that I will die."

Hearing this, Mu Yang thought to himself that he couldn't let the other person die, otherwise it would be difficult to find him. So he asked, "There must be a time limit, right?"

The old man's eyes turned cloudy and turned into black and white. He whispered softly:
"The superior is easy to move, the foolish should act accordingly."
