Chapter 383 Panyang Lake Water God

On the white jade chessboard, Zhou Tieyi held the seal of the third-grade water god. He would certainly not return the seal to Baili. He was just thinking about whether to integrate the authority of the seal into himself, or to use the method of calling the name to awaken the fallen third-grade water god and make him his subordinate.

"There are too many variables, so I won't wake you up for now."

Zhou Tieyi made a decision.

The Tianyi Jade Disc was only of the third grade. When Zhou Tieyi subdued Hong Yang, the prison-suppressing general of the Tianyi Dao Mai, he was very cautious and did not dare to give Hong Yang more power for the time being, let alone a third-grade water god.

If this third-rank water god is awakened, the divine weapon is returned to him, and he is allowed to participate in the fight for the dragon vein, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not break free from the shackles of the Tianyi Jade Disc. Zhou Tieyi cannot afford this variable now, so it is better to have less trouble than more.

He stretched out his hand to grab the divine seal with a turtle and snake entwined in front of him.

A large number of images were like flowing stars, forming a galaxy reflected in Zhou Tieyi's eyes.

With experience in usurping the orthodoxy, although these scenes were much more numerous than those of gods who had previously usurped the divine power, they were still within Zhou Tieyi's control.

······
"Prime Minister Qi, you were originally a tortoise and snake, but I enlightened you and gave you intelligence. Now I have killed the gods of the Huai River and the Qi River, and I am afraid that they will revive and bring disaster to the people on both sides of the river. I order you to guard Panyang Lake, control the sacred road here, and suppress the hydrology here to benefit the people on both sides of the river."

"Mr. Taiyi, Prime Minister Qi accepts your orders."

······
This picture shows the water god Qi Xiang being reborn and obtaining the throne of god, so it contains the most information and also contains the most emotions of Qi Xiang.

Zhou Tieyi looked at the two people in the picture. One of them was crawling like a turtle or snake, while the other one was blurry. Even though Zhou Tieyi's divine power of usurping gods could read the historical pictures, it was still interfered with.

Zhou Tieyi had also encountered this kind of thing when he was reading the images related to the Yellow Emperor's Sword.

From the title of the Prime Minister of Qi and his subsequent deeds, Zhou Tieyi immediately confirmed the other party's identity.

Jiang Taiyi.

The butcher who was killed by the joint efforts of hundreds of families on the Luo River had his coffin lid nailed shut.

Tangzhou Prefecture is the place where three rivers converge and it is a key ferry crossing.

The so-called Three Rivers refer to the Huaihe River, Qishui River and Luoshui River.

Panyang Lake, a huge lake formed naturally by the confluence of three rivers, has the natural ability to regulate floods and droughts, and can also protect the reviving gods.

"So Jiang Taiyi transformed a black tortoise to guard Panyang Lake in order to achieve the goal of using gods to control gods. From this point of view, Jiang Taiyi can be considered a pragmatist."

Zhou Tieyi muttered.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Shintoism revived. Not only did Emperor Wu of Wei and the Goddess of Taihang become entangled, but Taoism also developed into the Tianyi School, and even the butcher Jiang Taiyi secretly manipulated the gods...

Perhaps it cannot be described as secretly. With his original strength and arrogance, even if he directly and openly drove the gods, no one would dare to mention this matter in front of Ren Tu.

Moreover, Emperor Wu of Wei, the king of Wei, had an unclear relationship with the Goddess of Taihang Mountains, which shows that people in Wei might have already had the idea of ​​"taking advantage of" the gods. It's just that no one knows why Emperor Wu of Wei suddenly chose to turn against the Goddess of Taihang Mountains. It must be concluded that Emperor Wu of Wei was also responsible for Jiang Taiyi's death.

In this way, Emperor Wu could really be said to be deserted by his friends and relatives, but he was the only one who betrayed others first.

When Zhou Tieyi learned about this secret, the position of [Water God of Panyang Lake] was also gathered upon him.

This divine authority is extremely complex, containing many powers such as [guarding the rivers], [good weather], [good fish harvest], [nurturing aquatic creatures], [capturing water monsters], etc. It is impossible for a single god to fully exercise all the powers, so the third-rank gods have to establish the kingdom of God.

After the establishment of the Kingdom of God, through the Kingdom of God and Panyang Lake, the third-grade water god was able to influence the formation of clouds and rain within hundreds or even thousands of miles around, was able to prevent devastating floods, and was able to eliminate severe droughts.

And even if Zhou Tieyi has the authority of [Good Weather and Good Harvest] now, with his current strength, he can only drive clouds and rain over an area of ​​more than ten miles even if he works very hard. Moreover, this driving is achieved by consuming his own body and cannot last long.

It took Zhou Tieyi nearly half a day to completely absorb the throne of [Water God of Panyang Lake]. He recalled the process and time spent on the previous transaction of the granting in Taixu Illusion Realm, and sent a message to Baili in the name of Taixu Illusion Realm, asking him to prepare to sacrifice the formation and accept the granting.

In the Water Palace, Baili, who received the information, immediately activated the sacrificial formation. The sacrificial portal opened, and an object wrapped in mirage fell in front of Him.

Baili hurriedly took two steps forward. With Taixu Huanjing as the intermediary and the collection of Taixu Huanjing coins, it was enough to prove that what the panda gave was indeed what he wanted, so the transaction was completed.

When the mirage dissipated, Baili was slightly stunned when he saw what was revealed.

It’s not that he suspected that Zhou Tieyi was in collusion with Taixu Illusion Realm, nor that this thing was not worth it, but could he really use this thing?

In the center of the altar, there is a pure black flag with an image of Buddha outlined on it. The flagpole is made of pure gold, revealing a precious flag shaped like lotus petals.

The third level Buddhist treasure of Qinglian Temple, the 'Precious Lotus Flag'!
Even though Baili had never heard of the name of the Precious Lotus Flag before, when Zhou Tieyi promoted his ginseng fruit at a large auction last time, he naturally also promoted the Precious Lotus Flag that was auctioned at the Taixu Illusion Realm blind auction.

The specific capabilities of this flag are unknown. It has not shown its power since it was stolen by Kong Kong'er. Everyone speculates that it is because Kong Kong'er failed to tame the spirit in it.

Kong Kong'er had taken so long to be tamed, but the panda tamed him in just over a month?
Could it be that he is not a Shintoist as everyone guessed, but a Buddhist?

Baili did not approach the altar, but tried to communicate with the spirit of the treasure flag with his divine power. Lotus flowers bloomed around the treasure flag, and a little monk appeared in the golden lotus with a naive look. He put his palms together and said to Baili, "Greetings, donor."

Baili returned the greeting, "Did you know that Lord Panda asked you to help me arrange the fog?"

Bao Lianqi nodded and said, "The master has already given the order." Baili breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not let down his guard. He said, "Thank you Baoqi for your help."

Baili saluted the Precious Lotus Flag, and the Precious Lotus Flag didn't waste any words. The spirituality returned to the flag. Baili didn't touch the Precious Lotus Flag directly, but a pool of azure blue "wave" appeared in his hand. In the wave was a broken third-grade water palace, and the water palace covered the Precious Lotus Flag. During this process, the Precious Lotus Flag did not resist at all. After the water palace completely covered the Precious Lotus Flag, Baili breathed a sigh of relief.

His expression was deep, "The story behind this panda is more complicated than I expected."

What he didn't know was that although he had blocked the Precious Lotus Flag from transmitting information to the outside, his information had already been accurately transmitted to Zhou Tieyi through the Taixu Illusionary Surface.

In the guest house prepared for Zhou Tieyi by Prince Ning's Mansion, Zhou Tieyi was looking through several maps he had found. He had already determined the location of Baili, the water god, in Pingjindu, a county under the jurisdiction of Tangzhou Prefecture, but where exactly was the dragon vein?

The water dragon vein is an underground river. There are many water systems in Pingjindu. Even if you know the approximate range, it will take at least a few years of exploration to get the accurate situation.

In addition to finding the dragon vein, taking the dragon vein is also a difficult problem.

The simplest way for humans to utilize dragon veins is through burial. By burying the remains of ancestors in dragon caves, human luck and earth luck can interact with each other, which is beneficial to both sides. The descendants of those buried in dragon caves will have prosperous luck, a large population, and expand their territory. The dragon veins will also continue to grow with the supplement of human luck, and will eventually have the opportunity to conquer the world and become the foundation of a dynasty.

But this method is not useful for Zhou Tieyi. Let's not talk about when his third-rank father will die. Given the peculiarity of the Zhou family's ancestral temple and the blood of the Emperor of Life and Death wrapped around him, who knows how much change will occur if he is buried in a dragon's cave. Moreover, Zhou Tieyi does not have time to wait for several generations to stimulate his good fortune.

Another usage is "slaying the dragon".

Even if cutting off the dragon vein can obtain things like "dragon blood" and "national destiny", it is like slaughtering people with great merits. It will bring curses from heaven and earth. No one will easily cut off the dragon vein unless it is absolutely necessary.

Baili, the water god, knew the exact location of the dragon vein early on, but he only dared to use it to secretly raise the Dongzhu. He did not dare to directly cut off the dragon vein and seize the harvest. This is the reason.

Therefore, the most practical method should be to "transform into a dragon".

All things in nature have spirituality, and the same is true for dragon veins. This dragon vein in particular is affected by the 'moon phase system' and is already in the manifestation stage.

This manifestation will take two forms. The first is to change the terrain to form a dragon's lair that is exposed. At that time, anyone in the world who has a little knowledge of Feng Shui will be able to judge that this is an excellent Feng Shui lair, or even judge that it is a dragon's lair.

The second is that the dragon vein changes shape, forming a dragon, breaking free from the constraints of the earth veins and water veins, and turning into an independent individual. With the help of the current autumn rain, the dragon changes into a dragon and transforms into a natural third-grade divine dragon.

Although the luck carried by this divine dragon will be less at that time, it will no longer be loved by heaven and earth as before. At this time, killing the dragon, preventing it from escaping, and safeguarding the safety of the people in the two rivers will be a great merit.

Even if the plan goes perfectly, he could even bring this dragon vein that hasn't completely transformed into a dragon under his command and make it his guardian. This is probably what Baili was thinking.

So he needs to do two things. One is to catalyze the dragon vein and make it evolve towards the direction of transforming into a dragon. Baili should have been preparing for this for a long time. As long as Zhou Tieyi does not disturb his plan, he can carry it out smoothly.

Another thing is to take advantage of the fog covering the river to completely subdue this dragon, which is between the fourth and third grade.

Of course, this is just Baili's wishful thinking. The dragon vein is originally involved in the changes of the world's fortune. It would be extremely difficult and dangerous for a dragon to follow the dragon vein itself. I don't know how many disasters he would have to face before there would be that one percent chance.

However, there are naturally more variables when seizing dragon veins.

For example, in this incident, it seemed that he was the biggest variable in Baili's plan, but after he gained control of Baili Taixu's illusory face, Zhou Tieyi also monitored that Baili was trading with another group of people.

I was able to guess through Baili's various deeds that there might be dragon veins around Baili, and naturally others could guess the same. In particular, I used the 'Yanhuang Tongbao' to lower Baili's intelligence, causing Baili to expose information in many transactions.

This kind of lowering of intelligence cannot unilaterally affect Baili's own intelligence. Instead, all of Baili's behaviors during this period of time have been affected by the "Yanhuang Tongbao" and have been lowered in intelligence, but he himself cannot perceive this change.

Moreover, before he controlled the Taixu Illusionary Side, there was another group of people who could control the Taixu Illusionary Side. They were the Nine Ancient Gods of the Taixu Illusionary Realm. According to Guan Guan, the Nine Ancient Gods swore to each other at the beginning of establishing the Taixu Illusionary Realm as a trading place that they would not test each other's power through the Taixu Illusionary Side.

But this restriction is only limited to the Nine Ancient Gods, and Baili is obviously not within this scope.

A dragon vein is also a vital resource for the current lineage of phantom priests. It is much more important than a third-grade magic weapon and is worth them violating the rules they set.

Therefore, Zhou Tieyi estimated that the group of people who contacted Baili were most likely from the lineage of the Phantom Priest, so he did not stop them. Because the other party also possessed the power of Mirage Qi and might have determined Baili's location before, it was too late to stop them now, and he would expose himself instead.

My current advantage is that I know Baili and the lineage of the Phantom Priest, but they don’t know that I have also paid attention to the matter of crossing the dragon vein in Pingjin.

Moreover, apart from the two of them, it is possible that there are others who have secretly observed the changes in the dragon veins and are waiting to take action when the dragon moves.

At the same time, we also have to consider that the third-grade local forces in Tangzhou Prefecture may arrive at the scene within dozens or hundreds of breaths. At least the Ning Wang Mansion has the ability to do so.

Just as Zhou Tieyi was thinking, Bai Mei came in and reported, "Master, Sha Youcheng, the governor of Tangzhou Prefecture, wants to see you."

Zhou Tieyi looked out the window. Although it was already noon, there was still heavy wind and rain outside, making the sky look extremely dark.

Today it is dry in summer, and Shinto has used its authority and coordinated with the weather to curb the clouds and rain around Tianjing. However, these clouds and rain will not decrease directly, but will be moved to autumn, causing the change from summer drought to autumn floods.

Zhou Tieyi put down the map in his hand. "It seems that he is a little anxious. I don't know what Deng Zhenquan and the others have found."

In the living room, Sha Youcheng, who was served tea, was indeed anxious. Ever since Prince Ning ordered him to turn the Huxin Academy into a case of divine evil, he had been under pressure from all sides of the Confucianists in the past few months. Even though he had the strength of a third-rank official and was also a local fourth-rank pacification envoy, it would only take some extra effort for the Confucians to kill him.

The reason why the Confucians have not touched him is only because the situation in the court has not yet determined the winner, and during this month, he clearly felt the undercurrents surging within his Zhenfu Division, and they wanted to disintegrate the Zhenfu Division from within, so as to get the "truth" of the Lake Heart Academy case. He only noticed this ten days ago and reported it to Prince Ning, but after Prince Ning suddenly took action to suppress the Lake Heart Academy case, he was a little indifferent to the matter, and turned his attention to building railways and shipyards. Even Prince Ning himself, Sha Youcheng, has not been seen for a month. So when Zhou Tieyi came to Prince Ning's mansion, Sha Youcheng waited for Zhou Tieyi to rest for a day, and after reaching an agreement with Prince Ning, he hurried over to test the attitude of the higher-ups.

How should the Huxin Academy case be concluded?
