It was necessary to prevent the spiritual veins at the bottom of the lake from leaking out, and to draw out the spiritual energy inside to serve as the source of the Danfeng mountain protection formation to nourish Danfeng. The formation was very difficult to construct. Qin Ran was busy for a long time, working on both restrictions and formations, and even laying a new layer of the lake bottom before he finally got the lake bottom done.
After Huang Feiyu finished firing the bricks, Qin Ran took Zhuifeng and Huang Feiyu to build a long embankment across the artificial lake. Fire bricks were naturally not waterproof, so he drew water-repellent patterns on them.
The lake bottom and the long embankment took Qin Ran more than a month to build. Up to now, the lake center pavilion has not been officially built. Only the foundation has been laid...
But the Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away, and August 15th has a special meaning to Qin Feng. He decided to clear the barrier between the creek and the artificial lake before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The small river flowing down from the back mountain crosses the entire Danfeng Mountain, flows down the mountain from the east side of Danfeng Mountain, and finally merges into the big river passing through Daojianmen.
Danfeng dug a small artificial lake beside this stream.
This artificial lake was basically dug by Li Shiyin. It took her almost three months to dig it. She went from being an ordinary mortal to a land immortal who can go to heaven and earth. This was her journey of digging the lake, her journey of building the foundation, and the beginning of her own immortality.
If the Danfeng River is the "1" of the number "10", then this lake is the "0" of "10". Now we need to break the barrier between "1" and "0", connect "1" and "0", and make the artificial lake a lake.
The Danfeng people, Huang Feiyu, and Tian Wenjin stood at the corner of the stream and the artificial lake, in front of the wind-chasing cat climbing frame. Li Shiyin stepped out of the crowd and said to Qin Ran:
"Master, let me do it!"
She dug the lake, so she should be the one filling it with water.
“Yes!” Qin Ran nodded and reminded, “Don’t make the hole too big, so as not to affect the creatures downstream.”
"I know… "
Li Shiyin took out the Qingxing Sword, displayed her skills, stepped into the air, and danced with the sword in the air.
Suddenly, a starlight lit up, as if the stars had fallen from the earth, dazzling and ethereal. At a certain moment, the star became brighter, and a star sword energy shot out, hitting the junction of the stream and the artificial lake, like a sharp blade cutting tofu, easily cutting the soil and rocks.
Suddenly water flowed into the artificial lake along the gap.
As if it was an illusion, the moment the water flowed into the artificial lake, Tian Wenjin had a sense of integration, as if
The silt was cleared away, as if shackles were broken, as if new life was born... Danfeng, at this moment, is more moist and more vital.
She looked at Li Shiyin in mid-air, feeling envious.
“Is it a formation?” Tu Shan closed his eyes and took in the more humid air, then asked Qin Ran.
“It is indeed a formation…” Qin Ran nodded, “And now is just the beginning, it will get better and better in the future.”
Tian Wenjin looked at the water accumulating at the bottom of the lake and thought to himself, how happy it would be to build a paradise with one's own hands.
"Master, what should we name this lake?" Li Shiyin asked Qin Ran loudly while holding a sword in mid-air.
Qin Ran looked at the female swordsman in the sky, smiled, and said, "Let's call this lake Xijian Lake!"
The female sword fairy's face suddenly turned red. It turned out that her master could hear it when he was unconscious!
But she raised her head and said, "Sword Washing Lake? Very nice!"
She used her magic power again, and sword energy surged from the Qingxing Sword. She said, "This sword fairy will give you a stone tablet."
Air splashed down from the sky and hit a huge rock by the lake. There was a rustling sound, and after a while, a smooth and round stone was taken out from the rock, with three words "Xijian Lake" engraved on it.
Although Li Shiyin felt sleepy when studying, she came from a family with a strict tradition of education, so she knew calligraphy after all; plus, she used sword energy to carve a cat scratching board and a cat climbing frame for Zhuifeng, and her carving skills were also very good.
The three words "Xijian Lake" actually have quite a flavor, coming from calligraphy and kendo.
Qin Ran lifted the stone tablet with water and placed it beside the artificial lake, with the three words facing outward. From now on, everyone who came to Danfeng would see the three words "Washing Sword Lake" when they looked over here.
"From now on, it will be called Xijian Lake," he said.
The female swordsman put away her sword and looked at the water accumulating at the bottom of the lake. She felt a great sense of accomplishment... This was the lake she dug, and it was indeed the lake where she practiced swordplay and washed her sword.
Perhaps many years later, when she becomes an immortal and her descendants come to visit her former residence, they will point to this lake and say, "Look, that's the lake where the female swordsman washed her sword."
"So this is the Sword Immortal's Sword Washing Lake. I'll have no regrets if I can see it once in my lifetime!" Someone would answer like this.
Maybe someone will stare at the stone tablet with her inscription and comprehend a new sword technique...
“Hehehe…” She stared at the lake and grinned foolishly.
Qin Ran
He glanced at her, not wanting to bother with this silly apprentice, and said to the others, "Try the new dish I developed!"
This can be considered a simple ceremony to open the lake. On the day of filling the lake with water, it is also a pleasant thing to invite a few good friends to watch the ceremony and then drink and have fun.
Qin Ran went to the back mountain to collect his own vegetables and cooked a table full of dishes, showing these natives of the other world what delicious food is.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Qin Ran called Tian Wenjin over, and the two of them walked across the bridge over the creek and came to the lakeside.
"We should also build a dam along the lakeshore..." Qin Ran said with a smile, "It's a pity that there are not enough fire bricks."
"You can ask your senior brother to help burn more." Tian Wenjin replied.
Qin Ran looked at Tian Wenjin and from her expression, he knew that Huang Feiyu had not told her about the fairy letter.
"Do you know the fairy note?" he asked her.
"I've heard about it before." Tian Wenjin nodded and said, "It is said that if you hold the Immortal Spirit Card, you can participate in the entrance test of Lingnan Immortal Sect. If you pass the test, you will become a disciple of Lingnan Immortal Sect."
"If I give you a fairy invitation, will you go to Lingnan Fairy Sect?" Qin Ran asked her.
"Am I not qualified?" Tian Wenjin said.
"When you have formed the elixir, you will be qualified."
Tian Wenjin shook his head and said, "Condensing the elixir? When will that be? And it's still unknown whether I can still form the elixir..."
She lowered her head, thought for a moment, and continued, "Now that I have joined Daojian Sect, I will no longer think about those unrealistic things."
"Is it really because of Daojianmen?" Qin Ran sighed.
He took out a golden note from his Qiankun bag, handed it to Tian Wenjin, and said, "This is for you."
"This... This is... a fairy invitation?" Tian Wenjin recognized it but didn't dare to take it.
"Take it!"
Tian Wenjin shook his head: "Shiyin is more suitable than me now. She will definitely join Lingnan Immortal Sect in the future."
"Shiyin will not go to Lingnan Immortal Sect."
"I won't go either."
“But some people want to go.”
Tian Wenjin was suddenly stunned. She instantly understood why Qin Ran handed her this post. At this moment, she understood a lot of things.
After hesitating for a long time, Tian Wenjin finally took the fairy invitation.
