Chapter Seventy-Three: Spirit Tortoise
Gu Xiuwen's worries are not unreasonable, after all, the water in the demon world is too deep, and he is just a mortal, although the old man said so, but who knows if it is true or false.
Even in the worst possible way, Gu Xiuwen was worried about whether the old man was suppressed under the Dongjiangyan big demon, once the embankment broke and the water was released, the other party would be released, if this was the case, if he broke the embankment and released the water, then he would really become a sinner through the ages.
Because of this, Gu Xiuwen has been unable to make up his mind for a long time in the past few days, and the matter of rebuilding Dongjiangyan has also been shelved, but fortunately, he was lucky to see Bai Changsheng today, and he felt that Bai Changsheng, as a righteous god, would definitely be able to help him and show him the way forward.
"Brother Gu's worries are not unreasonable."
Bai Changsheng also nodded after listening, and agreed with Gu Xiuwen's thoughts, after all, the heart of harming people is indispensable, but the heart of guarding against people is also indispensable, although the old man said so, but who knows whether it is true or false, if it is true, it is naturally good, but if it is false, then I am afraid that something will happen if I dare to listen to it.
However, Bai Changsheng didn't know about the situation in Dongjiangyan, after all, it was not his jurisdiction, so he had to say.
"However, although I am a righteous god, the Yulong Mountain under my jurisdiction is not in the territory of Donglai Kingdom, and I don't know the situation of Dongjiangyan, so I can't give you the answer you want for the time being, but I can help you ask Cui Fujun later, he should know the situation of Dongjiangyan."
"Then there's Brother Laobai."
"You're welcome."
"For Brother Bai, it may be just a gesture, but for mortals like us, it is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of Li people."
..............
"Dongjiangyan, this new prefect wants to rebuild Dongjiangyan, but he wants to do things, if it is really repaired, it should be a merit."
Half an hour later, Bai Changsheng came to Chenghuang Mansion again to see Cui Chenghuang, and also told Gu Xiuwen about wanting to rebuild Dongjiangyan, and asked about the situation of Dongjiangyan.
As the Chenghuang of Tanglin City, Cui Chenghuang does understand the situation of Dongjiangyan.
"As far as I know, there is an old spirit turtle in Dongjiangyan, which has lived for nearly a thousand years, calculate the time, this year should be his thousand-year limit of life and death, if you can get through, you can break the cocoon and be reborn, and smoothly transform into shape, but if you can't cross it, it will be a dead body, and the thousand-year-old road will .......be scattered."
Lived for almost a thousand years!
Bai Changsheng couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, this lifespan is really long enough, the most important thing is that this spirit turtle has not yet entered the true transformation, and it can live for so long before it enters the true transformation, this life span is simply full.
It's no wonder that turtles have always been seen as a symbol of longevity.
However, the way of heaven, one yin and one yang have their own gains and losses, although the turtle has a long lifespan, it is almost full of life talent, but in other aspects, it is difficult, especially in practice, it has lived for nearly a thousand years and has not been able to enter the true transformation, so it can be seen how difficult the talent of this spirit turtle in cultivation is.
Although the spirit turtle has a long life, there is still an end of time.
Now is the thousand-year limit of the spirit tortoise, in a catastrophe, if you can get through, then you can naturally break through the cocoon and be reborn, into the true transformation, but if you can't get through, you can only die, and the thousand-year-old path will be scattered.
"From this point of view, the old man dreamed of by the new prefect is the old turtle unexpectedly, and this time the new prefect rebuilt the Dongjiangyan, if nothing else, it will also be the catastrophe of the old turtle, whether it can survive depends on its creation."
"I see, thank you Uncle Cui for your doubts, I understand."
After listening to Cui Chenghuang's words, Bai Changsheng suddenly had a bottom in his heart.
"Well, you can tell the new prefect truthfully about this matter, and as for the rest, don't get involved."
In the end, Cui Chenghuang mentioned again, after all, if you have no relatives and no reason, it is enough to give some guidance, as for how the rest of the things will develop, it is not their business, they are rashly involved too much, and it is easy to bear cause and effect.
"Uncle Cui reminded that Changsheng understands."
Bai Changsheng also nodded, he also almost had this idea, Gu Xiuwen's own words and reminders were already considered benevolent, as for the follow-up development and whether the spirit turtle could survive this death tribulation, it was their own business, and it had nothing to do with Bai Changsheng, if it was not necessary, he would naturally not intervene, after all, it was not a parent.
Subsequently, Bai Changsheng also truthfully relayed the news he got from Cui Chenghuang to Gu Xiuwen.
"I see, thank you Brother Bai for this matter, I know what to do."
After Gu Xiuwen learned the news, his heart was instantly relieved, and he thanked Bai Changsheng, and then made a decision in his heart to immediately start rebuilding Dongjiangyan.
After all, it has been confirmed that the old man is not an evil demon but an old spirit turtle, so there is no need to worry about his ill intentions, so naturally there is no need to worry about hesitation.
Even in Gu Xiuwen's view, this is still a good thing, with the help of this old spirit turtle, he will definitely be able to discharge the water flow in the Dongjiangyan more smoothly and quickly to rebuild the Dongjiangyan, as for the old man's request, it is not difficult at all, when the dam is rebuilt after the water is released, as long as you give an explanation to the following, all the turtles found will not be harmed.
"Let's hope everything goes well."
Looking at the back of Gu Xiuwen leaving full of energy, Bai Changsheng had to bless in his heart.
Gu Xiuwen was a vigorous and resolute doer, and after receiving Bai Changsheng's information, he immediately returned to the mansion, and then summoned the officials under his command to start announcing the rebuilding of Dongjiangyan.
The next day, Gu Xiuwen led a group of his officials to the Dongjiang weir dam and began to hold a ceremony to worship the sky.
It is said to be a sacrifice to the sky, in fact, the main purpose of Gu Xiuwen is to sacrifice the old spirit turtle in the Dongjiangyan, and ventilate with the other party in the hope that the other party can help him rebuild the Dongjiangyan next, and he also gave a promise to meet the requirements of the old spirit turtle to ensure its safety.
And Gu Xiuwen also promised that if the old spirit turtle could help him successfully rebuild Dongjiangyan, after the matter was completed, he would report to the imperial court, ask God to seal it, and pardon him as the god of Dongjiangyan Lake.
At the same time that Gu Xiuwen held the ceremony of worshiping the sky, in the Dongjiangyan, a huge spirit turtle with a body as white as jade and limbs like an elephant also looked closely at Gu Xiuwen who read the sacrifice to the sky on the shore and spoke.
"Since the adults have this commitment, then the old turtle will definitely do his best to assist the adults in rebuilding the dam."
That night, after Gu Xiuwen fell asleep, he was promised by the Spirit Turtle Tuomeng again that he would fully assist him in rebuilding the dam, as long as Gu Xiuwen could keep his promise.
After getting the promise of the spirit turtle, Gu Xiuwen was also overjoyed, and his requirements for the spirit turtle were also guaranteed again and again.
And after having the dream promise of the spirit turtle, after waking up again that night, Gu Xiuwen directly ordered the embankment to burst and release the water and rebuild the Dongjiang Weir.
With the help of the spirit turtle, the process of breaking the embankment and releasing water from the entire Dongjiangyan was very smooth.
.................
A few days later, at night, in an uninhabited mountain forest outside Tanglin City.
The ghost Taoist is dressed in a black robe, the altar is high, but it looks very evil, the entire altar is dyed red with blood, and there is an altar in the middle, with seven bone needles inserted in it.
This is a magic curse method mastered by the ghost Taoists, and it is said to be made in imitation of the legendary 'Seven Arrows with Nail Head', which is not as powerful as the 'Seven Arrows with Nail Head', but it is more evil.
For this reason, the ghost Dao people specially prepared for several days, just to deal with Bai Changsheng.
Bai Changsheng's cultivation strength is far superior to him, and he is definitely not as good as Bai Changsheng when he is forced to hit him head-on, but if he is cursed with the evil method, Bai Changsheng will definitely have a great chance of success when he is defenseless, and the curse technique has always been strange and difficult to solve.
"Prepare for a few days, and bring it with you today."
A scorching light burst out in the eyes of the ghost man.
It was really Bai Changsheng's bloodline talent that made him greedy, as long as he could get it, he would be expected to lay the foundation of his immortal status in one fell swoop.
At the same time, the City God's Mansion, a few days have passed, and today is finally the time for the real banquet.
In the entire Chenghuang Mansion, counting Bai Changsheng, Cui Chenghuang, and Jade Dragon Mountain God, there are three hundred and ninety-eight righteous gods, among which there are eight gods who know the fate realm, including Cui Chenghuang and Jade Dragon Mountain God, and the remaining gods are mostly in the true realm, but there are also a few righteous gods who have not even reached the true realm, and most of these gods are ordinary people who have been pardoned by the heavenly court after their deaths, and their strength is basically to practice from scratch after becoming gods.
is like Zhou Lao Taijun, so if the time for this kind of righteous god to become a god is a little shorter, it will be difficult for him to achieve the true realm.
But in general, tonight's City God's Mansion is full of gods.
The ghost Daoist who was outside Tanglin City didn't know the situation in the City God's Mansion, he only knew that Bai Changsheng was inside Tanglin City, and he didn't need to enter the city, he could just cast a spell with a curse.
