Junzhou, northern border.
Nanming Lake is located to the north of the northern border that will border Xuanzhou. It is hidden among the snow-capped mountains. On sunny days, the lake surface is blue and crystal clear, and the lake water is clear and clean. Melting water from snowy mountains and falling rain are its water sources. No river flows into it, and no river flows out from it. It seems to have been left outside the world for a long time, alone, without any influence on cause and effect.
The only trace left by anyone is a small temple located on the south side of the lake. According to ancient legends, tens of thousands of years ago, a huge bird burst into flames and fell, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to shake. Several towering snow peaks were destroyed. The heavy snow that rushed down the mountain destroyed almost all human villages in the area. After the apocalyptic disaster, someone was trekking through the snow-capped mountains and saw from a distance a huge bottomless pit between the mountains, with lava-like fire flowing around it. Later, the snow water melted by high temperature poured into the bottom of the pit, and gradually became Nanming Lake.
Also in the time period close to this legend, the last empire in the history of Jiuzhou included the entire Junzhou, Yanzhou, Xuanzhou, northern Zhuzhou, and western Youzhou. It was an unprecedented and probably unprecedented unified dynasty— —Li Chao also ushered in the end of falling apart. According to the Theory of the End and Beginning of the Five Elements, the Li Dynasty claimed to have the virtue of fire and enshrined the Nanming Suzaku as the state religion. So some people speculated that the giant bird that fell into the northern border was probably the sacred beast Suzaku that died with the fate of the country. Later, other ancestors relocated to this area one after another, and someone built such a small temple. Unfortunately, it was not popular and was later abandoned. Nanming Lake remains unknown.
As for the reason, in addition to the sparsely populated northern border itself, the main reason is that this statement is not very credible. For thousands of years, powerful experts from all walks of life have tended to believe that the so-called "Suzaku" recorded in the Li Dynasty should be the seven constellations in the guide sky, rather than a real big bird on fire. Furthermore, the Li Dynasty was so completely destroyed that the ruins of the city, the tombs of nobles, the magic weapons handed down from ancient times...all the evidence that could prove the existence of this incredibly powerful dynasty was almost nonexistent.
The historical records handed down are also difficult to distinguish between false and true. The most suspicious thing is Jinglian City, the imperial capital of the Li Dynasty. In many historical materials, it is described as a city floating in the sky. It is so vast that it can accommodate tens of millions of people. Princes from all over the world come to see the emperor every year. They fly to the sky with wings on their backs. Although they have not soared, they are like Already ascended to immortality.
But according to other digital records in history books, according to the low efficiency and huge output loss of spiritual stone conversion of spiritual power at that time, even if all the spiritual veins that have been discovered in Junzhou are dug out, they cannot support such a huge floating city. The consumption of years... Compared with the end of a historical stage, the Li Dynasty is more like an illusory myth gradually pieced together by people's oral tradition for tens of thousands of years.
But there are always people who believe in it and have some desires.
Late at night, the moon shines like water, and there is light on the water. There is a small boat in the lake. Yunyue, a monk in the late stage of spiritual transformation who was born in the Six Halls, is sitting in it, staring closely at a water mirror in his hand. The mirror is divided into several scenes, the same one. The faint blue hue was actually the lake water at different depths beneath him. A beam of light shone in front, and at the end of the swaying water waves were tiny bubbles. Nanming Lake was so clear that it was so clear that there were no even mayflies.
Most of the pictures came from the detector he put down, but one of them was from what his fellow sect saw before his eyes. Mingqiu, who was also in the late stage of becoming a god, had already dived into the depths of the lake. Nanming Lake falls under the jurisdiction of Shuangyue City in the north. On this moonlit night, they all came uninvited and concealed their whereabouts.
After cultivating to this level, even in Kunlun, where there are many talents, they are already at the top, and they are the 'emperor's ministers' who can talk directly to the elders. It would be unworthy of their status to act so quietly. Fortunately, the current Lord of Shuangyue City happens to be seriously ill, otherwise his cultivation level would be on par with theirs, and such meticulous work is not their specialty. It would be a bit troublesome to sneak in silently.
I can only sigh, these days, as long as the person at the top is not kicked off, no matter how high you climb, you can only be a slave. The difference is only the number of masters, and it has nothing to do with whether the masters want to kill chickens with their own knives.
A few days ago, Yunhua Yuanjun secretly summoned the two of them to Huxin Island Political Affairs Hall and asked them to personally explore a suspected ruins of Jinglian City, the last imperial capital of the Li Dynasty.
"Don't make any noise, go and come back quickly." Yunhua Yuanjun was still dealing with other things at that time, so he just gave this order in a scribble.
"I've been diving down for an hour, why haven't I reached the bottom yet?" The image in the water mirror shook, and a somewhat distorted voice came out.
"It's still early. The "Jiuzhou Scenery" said that Nanming Lake is eight hundred feet deep and is the deepest inner lake in Junzhou!" Yunyue contacted the other party in the water mirror.
"Eight hundred feet?!" Mingqiu hissed, "Is it credible? Isn't this the depth of the ocean?"
"It should be credible. After all, it was a series of books that Emperor Xuan personally presided over and revised back then." Yunyue sat for a long time, quite bored, "If it's too deep, dive faster. If you put it eight hundred feet into the sky, wouldn't that be Yu Jianyi? In the blink of an eye?"
The voice in the water mirror was a little irritated, "Can it be the same? This damn lake is suppressing the spiritual consciousness. The spiritual consciousness cannot be detected more than three feet above and below three feet. Who knows what is underneath? Be careful. It’s always right!”
"What can there be? The spiritual energy in this lake is so low that I can't even raise it even during the Qi training period!" Yunyue didn't care, "I see, although Yuanjun sent us to explore the ruins of the Li Dynasty, she herself I don't know for sure, and I don't have much hope. If there really is a Pure Lotus City at the bottom of the lake, the Meng family of Shuangyue City at the foot of the mountain is still unknown in the seventy-second family, and has stayed in the bitter cold borderland for thousands of years to guard the big palm. A small town?”
"Montessori has always followed the rules too much. Maybe people just didn't notice?" Maybe it was the feeling of being isolated by the lake that made him feel so lonely, so Mingqiu also started to have sex with him.
Yunyue laughed at him mercilessly, "What? As you age, do you become forgetful? One thousand four hundred years ago, I remember you were not young anymore. When there was such a big commotion in the north, you were gone. impression?"
"Go, go, go - 1,400 years ago, I was only in my thirties, and I had just built the foundation. Why am I not too young? At that time, there was a war and chaos, and there were big movements every day. In this bitter cold place in the north, What is there to see on earth..."
Under the water, Mingqiu originally wanted to bury the opponent, but the spiritual consciousness of the monks in the foundation-building stage had already begun to mature. It was difficult to forget what he had experienced at that time. After being reminded a few words, he slowly recalled it. He couldn't help but his voice weakened and he said with some embarrassment:
"Oh...that's what you're talking about..."
Yunyue spread her hands.
One thousand and four hundred years ago, various sects and families in Junzhou dominated the land and broke up the soil to establish themselves; outside, there was a large-scale invasion by the Silver Armored Army. The snow in Tianshan Mountain is crumbling, and the sun is declining in Junzhou. As luck would have it, misfortune never comes alone. At this time, another major earthquake occurred in the north that was rare in a thousand years. At that time, the mountain wall that had been bearing the huge water pressure of Nanming Lake for tens of thousands of years cracked for the first time. The lake water broke through the wall and formed a huge waterfall with a shocking flow overnight, rushing down the towering snow-capped mountains. , runs through the Xingyuan River, the largest river in Junzhou, and crosses the Linghe River as a tributary in the north. The river water surged, and ordinary people had not yet recovered from the earthquake that caused heavy casualties. They were immediately plunged into endless floods, and their homes thousands of miles north were almost wiped out.
To control the water, the most fundamental thing is to repair the mountain wall of Nanming Lake. Otherwise, once the mountain wall collapses completely, with the terrible water storage capacity of Nanming Lake, no matter how strong the dam is set downstream, it will be useless. By then, the water of Xingyuan River will skyrocket. , the Central Plains is in danger.
One after another, monks went to the field for field exploration. At first, they were just sporadic wandering cultivators and small sects that were enclosing land nearby; later, some well-established aristocratic families in the lower reaches of the Xingyuan River were also busy fighting for territory. Allocate manpower in an attempt to resolve future troubles. But when they actually wielded their swords in front of the towering snow-capped mountains and saw the surging lake water, they were all helpless. The terrain of Nanming Lake was too high, and the gap in the mountain wall was too large. The impact of the falling water was enough to even knock down the approaching Golden Core monks. Flying away, an "ancestor" with water spirit roots in the divine transformation stage flew around the huge waterfall in a condescending circle, shook his head incomprehensibly, and left, followed by a large number of people who followed behind him. The younger generation has "self-knowledge". It is tantamount to announcing the end of the disaster-ridden Northern Territory.
At that time, the former city lord of Shuangyue City, who had always been unknown, broke through the middle stage of Nascent Soul and ended his retreat. As a result, as soon as he stepped out, he saw that most of his city had been flooded...
From the city tower came the roar of his wife in the foundation building period, Hedong Lion Roar: "Meng! Three of our four city gate formations have been damaged by water!! If you don't get out and deal with me, I will take your son to the west. Escape—"
The bearded man who was part of the Xuanzhou Canglang tribe shivered, and immediately pulled out his green long sword and headed north in the direction of the flood.
That night, the torrent of waterfalls on the snow-capped mountains miraculously disappeared. The monks who had not yet left were surprised to find that a blue water curtain had formed at the gap in the mountain wall, and that water curtain was actually the still water of Nanming Lake! The lake seems to have lost its traction toward the lower ground and can support itself without the need for a container.
Some people say that on that moonlit night, they saw the Lord of Shuangyue City standing with a sword, a green ball of light slowly flying out from the center of his eyebrows, and the brilliance was in full bloom, and the monstrous lake water was guided upstream, returning to the gap. inside the lake cavity.
With such an unpredictable ability to control water, even a powerful person who is still in the void stage dare not guarantee that he can do it, let alone an unknown mid-stage Nascent Soul? !
Three days later, the floods that had flooded the northern border for several months gradually receded, and rumors began to spread that the Meng clan in Shuangyue City was pregnant with an ancient relic. Rumor has it that in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor traveled to Chishui and left behind his mysterious pearl. The elephant was lost and recovered, but was stolen by Zhenmeng's daughter. Later, Zhenmeng's daughter sank across the Linghe River and died, and the Xuanzhu was missing. The Shuangyue City Meng clan is a branch of the ancient Zhen Meng clan. They inherited the Yellow Emperor Mysterious Pearl stolen from their ancestors. Whoever gets this pearl can command the water veins of the world, including the small Nanming Lake.
At that time, Junzhou was in a period of darkness and lawlessness, and soon some monks set their sights on this rumored "ancient relic." Suddenly, the number of monks who secretly went to the north far exceeded the number at the time of the flood. They cunningly wanted to have a "win-win deal" with the Meng family, and despicably sent spies to sneak into the city to try to steal. To be reasonable, he has already begun to gather his disciples to attempt to rob him.
But surprisingly, this small border town, which had long been ignored by the major sects and families in Junzhou, turned out to be quite a difficult nut to crack. Anyone who comes with bad intentions will be knocked unconscious and thrown out of the city gate. Those who use evil methods will have to leave an arm or leg. From Qi Lian to Nascent Soul, no matter how many people the opponent sends out, no one will be spared. .
This is really surprising. After all, compared to the mainstream aristocratic families in Junzhou, which have tens of thousands of branches and direct descendants, the Meng clan has withered away and has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. The rest of the residents in the city are ordinary people, and the entire city is repaired. The highest one was the city lord who was only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul at that time. This strengthened the belief of many people that Mengshi had a treasure in his possession, so half a year after the flood receded, two elders of Tianshan Snow in the God Transformation stage came to Shuangyue City and issued a decree saying that the head of Tianshan Snow had recently been killed because of his fight against Youzhou Yinjia. Jun suffered internal injuries and asked Meng to offer Xuanzhu for healing.
The bearded city lord, who paid tribute to Tianshan Snow on time every year, used up all the spiritual stones in his private house, teleported his wife and children away, and then activated the magic circle to seal off Shuangyue City. With one person and one sword, he rose into the air to fight against the two elders in the transformation stage. After three days of fierce fighting, one of the elders was seriously injured on the spiritual platform and lost consciousness. The sword cut off the head of the ignorant elder, and hung it on the tower to be exposed to the wind and sun, to shock those who came after him.
If it hadn't been for a young man named Lian Chao who was born twenty years ago and had a baby at the age of eighty, he would have attacked six major sects with one sword and conquered Kunlun Xu. Meng's deeds of transcending levels and killing two major gods in the transformation stage can already be regarded as a genius that has not been seen in Junzhou for thousands of years. However, even if the epoch-making title of "Never Come Out for a Thousand Years" has been taken over by others, he is still famous in Junzhou. Tianshan Xueqiang, who is already at the end of his power, has lost two elders in a row. He is no longer able to avenge the other sects. The aristocratic family would not dare to make any mistakes.
Temporary solicitation posts flew to the far north like snowflakes, but Montessori did not accept any of them. On the contrary, after Kunlun announced his return to the world, he was the first to contact Shangqing Jun Lianchao and voluntarily joined the Kunlun-led anti-Youzhou front. Lianchao later personally came to the north to help repair the damaged mountains of Nanming Lake. wall. After the war, the northern territory headed by Shuangyue City became the first Junzhou territory to declare allegiance to Kunlun.
The complete story is very long, but Mingqiu, who was underwater at this time, had already understood what his colleagues meant. First, there was a big leak in Nanming Lake. If there was something under the water, there should have been clues at that time. Second, the head of the Meng family had personally stopped the water in the lake. If there really was a Yellow Emperor Mysterious Pearl that could command the water flow, he would not have stopped it. Unnoticed; thirdly, their seemingly omnipotent leader has never been to Nanming Lake. If even his old man has not discovered the existence of Jinglian City, then the two cobblers who are trying to catch up are even more Nothing could be gained.
