The main city of Bingzhou is a big city rarely seen in the western region during the Chen Dynasty. In the past, Yanmen County guarded the natural danger to resist the beast tide of the Northwest Wild Spirit Dynasty going south in winter, and it was also in the lower reaches of the Yanshui River. The big river flowing out of the high mountains slows down here, and the sand and gravel sink and finally form fertile fields. When the former Chen was not destroyed, the people of Bingzhou County cultivated here. When the late emperor died, A large-scale water conservancy named Da "Yinggong" was built here.
"Ying" was originally a legendary winged dragon that could fly. In the era of chaos, Emperor Cang who occupied the eastern continent felt that the water on the land was flooding and capricious, so he drove Yinglong to divide the waterways.
Yinglong flew across the land, and the river flowed along the trace left by its tail, which was the later river course.
The first emperor of the Chen Dynasty named the water conservancy on Yanshui "Yinggong", which meant that the water would be divided by the dragon, hoping that Yanshui would flow along the river course and not flood the farmland on the bank. "Yinggong" is divided into three parts, one is the channel leading to the main branch of Yanshui, the other is the irrigation canal distributed among the farmland, and the third is the water diversion and the spiritual tower connected to the water diversion.
In normal times, the river water will be led out through the channels on the main trunk, and flow into the farmland through scattered irrigation canals to irrigate the crops. In the flood season, when the river rises below the "average water line" drawn by the first emperor, it will pass through the water diversion and be led to the spare river channel that is not usually used, and finally lead to the spiritual tower with water storage beads. Refining the spiritual weapon of water.
The former emperor of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Yingdi, who died of illness, was indeed a well-known and well-known emperor.
It's a pity that his foresight was not understood by his courtiers. "Yinggong", a project that benefited the people, started construction in the penultimate year of Emperor Chen Ying's reign, but after his death, the project was terminated, and it has only been half completed so far.
Baili Shu stood on the deck of the Qingyu light boat, leaning on the railing and looking down from a high altitude. From the sky, the "Yinggong" on the ground does look like a dragon wagging its tail, but due to the interruption of the project, this dragon has only a body but no head.
"Young Master Baili and I are really destined. It's rare that you can meet Young Master Baili when you go out to relax."
Ye Qiusheng's frivolous voice sounded from behind, saying that his wounds were almost healed, and his essence and blood would not recover to full strength in a short period of time. He walked to the railing, looked down in the direction Bailishu was watching, and also saw the "Yinggong" that hadn't been fully built.
"Sometimes the power of the world is amazing." Ye Qiusheng looked at the unfinished "dragon" and said with emotion, "Emperor Chen Ying is very proficient in the number of nine heavenly stars, even if he studies hundreds of stars with cultivators Compared with the young people, there is almost no difference in the "Yinggong" route. When Emperor Chen Ying was born, it was said that there was Bai Ni Guankong. The royal family of the Chen Dynasty thought this was a sign of prosperity, so he He was chosen to be the crown prince from the very beginning. However, it is a pity that he died early. He was not able to restore the majesty of the royal family as the royal family hoped."
With that said, Ye Qiusheng glanced at the expressionless Bailishu.
It is really difficult to tell what this person is thinking. The other party knows a lot of things, but there are few changes on his face. Ye Qiusheng can only guess based on his intuition.
"However, since Emperor Chen Ying died so early, it shouldn't be a bad thing for you Jiuxuanmen, right?"
Ye Qiusheng tried to see some reaction from Bailishu's face, but failed as expected.
The other party's brows and eyes were cold and indifferent, like ordinary cultivators, who didn't care about the life and death of a secular emperor at all.
However, if these things were not in the eyes of the other party, how could Bailishu appear in the underground of Lingxing Temple, and how could he look down on the unfinished "Yinggong" water conservancy.
Only very few people know that "Yinggong" is a project that was doomed to fail from the very beginning.
No matter it is Jiuxuanmen or Taishangzong, they will not allow it to be completed, and will not let this "dragon" appear on the land of the Chen Dynasty. Mountains and rivers have a mysterious connection with heaven and earth, and many seemingly inadvertent changes can cause great changes.
The ambitious Emperor Chen Ying was unwilling to be constrained by the sect for the rest of his life, so on the surface he was building water conservancy projects, but in fact he was secretly changing the trend of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth—the so-called "Yinggong" is a line against the sect. The evil dragon that looks at the door like a tiger.
It is just a lie to the outside world that Chen Yingdi died of an accidental cold.
At least, Ye Qiusheng knew that one month before the death of Emperor Chen Ying, three elders of Jiuxuanmen quietly left Jiuxuanmen and arrived at the capital of the Chen Dynasty.
It is not that the Chen Dynasty did not have immortal cultivators who were loyal to the emperor, but in front of the Eight Great Immortals, the power of the dynasty is not worth mentioning. So Chen Yingdi, an upright man in his prime, died in such an unexplained and unnoticed manner. After death, "Ying Gong" will naturally be stopped.
Therefore, although Bingzhou City was the most prosperous city in the west of the Chen Dynasty, the people here are still worried about the changes in drought and flood in Yanshui.
Ye Qiusheng thought about these not-so-bright things, not so easy to talk about on the stage, not so easy, but he still had the expression of a frivolous scholar on his face.
Bai Lishu looked at the project that could have benefited all the people after it was completed, and instead of answering Ye Qiusheng's question directly, he asked, "You have been searching for the Supreme Sect for so many years, and it's not time to end yet?"
"Mr. Baili is indeed not a simple person." Ye Qiusheng leaned against the railing, but he was not surprised that Bailishu saw that he had other intentions in running around the land of the Twelve Dynasties for so many years, "What do I understand now?" It's called "You shouldn't judge by appearance". Who would have thought that Mr. Baili, who looks like a fairy outside the sky, would know so clearly about these secret things."
There was deep meaning in Ye Qiusheng's words, and Baili Shu looked at this Taishangzong scholar who always dropped his book bag and could tell a few allusions at any time, so he didn't say anything else.
Without Bailishu's answer, Ye Qiusheng raised his head and looked at the clouds in the sky, and continued to say: "The golden black bow in your hand was made by a refining weapon called Yi Cang. Master. He is a descendant of the eighteenth ancient family, and like those ancient families, when training spiritual weapons, the most important thing is a bloodline. The top spiritual weapons they create can only be used by the disciples of the family. So... "
Ye Qiusheng turned his head to the side, looked at Bailishu, and his expression became unusually serious.
"Which branch of the Eighteenth Clan are you?"
Baili Shu finally raised his eyes.
On the blue feather light boat, the wind is strong, and people seem to be standing in the wind, with their sleeves flying. As soon as Ye Qiusheng's words came out of his mouth, there seemed to be an undercurrent raging between the two of them, and the sound of the sleeves flapping was as murderous as a sword's light.
After so many words and so many temptations from the beginning, what Ye Qiusheng really wanted to say was actually only this last sentence.
After much deliberation, Ye Qiusheng only thought of this guess.
If Bailishu is really a member of the ancient family of the Shibashi, then the head of Jiuxuan will directly accept him as a disciple. He has the Golden Crow in his hand that resembles the bow of the setting sun, and he knows so clearly about the things under the Lingxing Temple It makes sense.
However, under Ye Qiusheng's sharp eyes, Bailishu said calmly:
"Neither of them."
His tone was calm, and his expression never changed.
Ye Qiusheng looked at him for a long time, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he showed that frivolous smile again: "Hey, forget it, it doesn't matter which family Mr. Baili is from, I just think that if you want to pursue Baili As for Mr. Li, no matter what, you should do more homework. The rest of the matter is not something that a fool like me should take care of."
Regarding Ye Qiusheng's words, Bailishu was noncommittal.
—He is Baili Dongling, so naturally he is not from the Shiba clan.
During the conversation, Qingyu Guangzhou was getting closer and closer to Bingzhou City.
In the field of vision, a tower rising from the ground seems to be faintly visible. However, as Qingyu Guangzhou got closer and closer to Bingzhou City, everyone on board felt an invisible force blocking Qingyu Guangzhou's approach. The sky outside Bingzhou City seems to be filled with an invisible force, and the flying boat flying here is like a boat in the water getting stuck in a swamp.
In the end, Qingyu Guangzhou completely stopped in mid-air.
When encountering the misty bird of prey before, Qingyu Guangzhou also had a similar situation. The disciples of Jiuxuanmen have almost gotten used to it, so there is nothing surprising. They are still taking advantage of the last time to practice more, or more Strengthen your connection with Lingbing.
Baili Shu controlled the Qingyu light boat to retreat a certain distance, and landed the flying boat at a place less affected by that force.
As soon as the flying boat landed, the disciples of the Nine Profound Sect discovered something was wrong as soon as they stepped out of the blue feather light boat. In the blue feather light boat. Due to the existence of the shield of the flying boat itself, the induction to the outside world is not very clear. But now that they got out of the Qingyu light boat and stood outside the city of Bingzhou, everyone immediately noticed the abnormality.
— There is a violent, disordered force in the air.
And not far from them, Bingzhou City was dead silent, so quiet.
It's like... like the whole city suddenly went silent.
The official disciples of Jiuxuanmen looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously unable to imagine how the change in Qingming Pagoda caused the current scene. However, for a long time before that, there had never been any accidents in Qingming Pagoda, so there are actually very few records of accidents in Qingming Pagoda in the world of cultivating immortals.
"Bailishu."
Jun Wanbai frowned and looked at the huge city not far away, then looked at Bailishu and asked his opinion.
Although the core disciples except Jun Wanbai did not speak, they were all waiting for Bailishu's instructions. Qin Jiu was holding his flagon, and it didn't shake at this time, Chu Zhiyuan was holding his Fusu sword with a serious expression, He Zhou looked as if the whole world owed him money and saw that no one was happy, Shen Changge stood away from Bai Closed with a fan not far away, Li Xin looked more eerie than usual.
As for Ye Qiusheng, a disciple of the Supreme Sect who joined halfway, all the core disciples ignored him.
Ye Qiusheng touched his nose, intending to protest their different treatment.
Li Xin's long knife was slightly unsheathed, and Ye Qiusheng closed his mouth.
Bailishu raised his head, no matter which city the Qingming Pagoda is in, it must be the tallest building there. Standing outside the city gate of Bingzhou at this time, looking up, one can vaguely see the spire of Qingming Pagoda. But the blue light they saw before they set off had dissipated, and there were thick dark clouds in the sky, and the whole Bingzhou was shrouded in shadow.
Very unknown.
Just as everyone was looking at Bingzhou City, a beam of dazzling fire rose from the city and shot straight into the clouds.
"Oops!" Shen Changge's expression changed, "That's a distress signal from disciple Jiuxuan."
After the success of the Qingming Pagoda linking method proposed by Guan Ling, the Qingming Pagoda no longer needs to rely on its power to operate. But Qingming Pagoda, an important formation tower, still needs to send people to guard it. The guardians of the tower are generally the elders of the sect, and there will also be a large number of disciples of the sect to assist in the operation of the formation of the Qingming Pagoda.
Bingzhou Qingming Pagoda is in charge of Jiuxuanmen.
At this time, seeing the distress signal from the disciples of Jiuxuanmen, almost everyone subconsciously guessed whether the disciples of Jiuxuanmen guarding the tower were in danger.
Baili Shu lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Li Xin asked him what to do, Baili Shu answered "Go" concisely, and rushed to the city gate first.
The disciples of Jiuxuanmen followed closely behind, and Ye Qiusheng paused on the spot before catching up. It is true that the signal was used by the disciples of the Nine Xuanmen to ask for help, but is there really such a coincidence? As soon as they settled at the gate of Bingzhou City, a distress signal was sent out in the city.
and…
Ye Qiusheng looked at the city gate of Bingzhou, which was getting closer and closer. There were no guards on the gate, the gate was half closed, no pedestrians came in and out, and there was no sound from behind the gate. They are cultivators with keen ears, how could they not hear the commotion of the city when they are so close.
It's so weird.
It was as if the city had suddenly fallen asleep.
While thinking, Ye Qiusheng followed Bailishu and others into the city gate.
The author has something to say: Qu Yuan's "Heavenly Questions" "Rivers and Seas Yinglong? Where is the end?" is actually the story of Yinglong dividing the river.
And you really don't have a conscience qaq
