After the immortal disappeared

Every outsider who entered Tianshui City and a country bumpkin from Shining Gold Plains would be stunned and amazed when they saw Huan Biao.

After you have enough to eat, your external image becomes very important, both to the individual and to the country.

"Then how long will it take for this set of Huan Biao to be completed?"

"Master You said that there is no problem with manpower. Now the expansion project is being uploaded and communicated very smoothly, but the materials are a bit cramped." King Yao waved his hand: "Ask He Xiao to stop at Youhu Villa and bring in the Panjin Stone there. Huan Biao.”

Huan Biao should shock the newcomers at their first sight. In contrast, an official residence hidden in a secluded lake and inaccessible to ordinary people does not have this effect.

In order to sell the residential land in the new city more easily, it is the most reasonable way to use the building materials of Youhu Villa at the moment.

"The carving has been completed and will be used in your palace soon."

King Yao was startled: "Huh? Then let You Rongzhi find another way."

At this time, another palace guard hurriedly came in and reported an emergency:

Xilin Temple collapsed again!

Xilin Temple is the largest goddess temple in the lower forest area of ​​Tianshui Old City and the second largest goddess temple in Tianshui City. It occupies a vast area and has row upon row of buildings. It is extremely grand and can accommodate thousands of believers for worship together.

The green shade along the outer wall is whirling, and the lake ten feet away is clear and clear. The scenery is extremely beautiful.

Xilin Temple is the spiritual residence of countless believers. When it was first built 120 years ago, it was extremely grand. The open space in front of the temple could also host the largest and most lively temple fair in Xialin District.

But after all, it has been around for a long time, and the stone building still has a gorgeous appearance, showing only a little bit of the vicissitudes of time. However, due to groundwater erosion and surface subsidence of the temple, Yao Kingdom has considered many plans, but they can only delay it and it is difficult to remedy it.

The recent rains and floods in the central part of Yao Kingdom have been constant. King Yao cherished the country's vitality and only pushed away the dark clouds above Mount Lu. It still rained every three days in other parts of the capital. The Xilin Temple couldn't bear it. The pagoda a few days ago The landslide killed several passers-by and temple attendants.

The pagoda has not yet been built, and other buildings in the temple have collapsed.

This time, it was the wings of the main hall that collapsed.

On both sides of the originally majestic main hall, the eaves are slanted like flying wings, like a golden roc spreading its wings, which is grand and exquisite.

Now that one side has collapsed, it means the wing is broken. Believers can see it as soon as they enter. It's too ugly.

"If it collapses, repair it and allocate funds from the treasury." King Yao was already very tired from governing today. He pressed his temples and casually ordered, "The Xilin Temple must be repaired as soon as possible, and we cannot neglect it."

The pagoda is too high, the stone body has too much weight, and the foundation is soft. It cannot be lifted up after it collapses. This has been proven by many parties, and Ambassador Liang also admitted it. But other buildings can be repaired now that they have collapsed.

The treasury has received a lot of money in the past few days, and King Yao has become stronger.

"None of the qualified repair teams are in the city." Qiu Long whispered, "They have all been called into the eastward expansion project of the capital."

The renovation of the temple is not something that just any grassroots team is qualified to undertake. It involves various regulations, particularities, and taboos, no less than repairing the palace. Only teams with excellent qualifications and rich experience in temple construction can take over.

However, now these teams are all involved in the eastward expansion project of the capital city!

There is a greatest shortage of skilled craftsmen there, and Yaoting has mobilized the entire country to do this project, so of course they have called in all the good craftsmen they can find.

It has become difficult to hire craftsmen to renovate the homes of Tianshui City residents. After all, the eastward expansion project has paid enough labor. Of course Yaoting ignored such trivial matters, but now that the temple was in disrepair, problems arose.

When King Yao heard this, he realized that this was not a big deal: "Then ask You Rongzhi and He Xiao to send out some craftsmen to build the temple."

"yes."

So, this matter has been arranged.

…

You Rongzhi attached great importance to the instructions from King Yao and immediately dispatched the best team of craftsmen to the Xilin Temple.

The needs of the gods must be met without delay. This is the experience of generations of people in Yao Kingdom.

But this experienced professional team gave a poor answer after careful investigation for more than ten hours:

You can repair it, you can just find a few pillars to hold it up. but--

The fundamental problems of unstable foundation and loose soil have become worse. Even if the side hall is rebuilt and reinforced, it may not last long.

Master Xiao at the Xilin Temple could not help but ask: "How long can it last? How long can it be?"

The craftsmen discussed it together, and the supervisor replied: "The shortest is more than twenty days, and the longest will not exceed fifty days, and there is a risk of another landslide at any time during this period. Also... the next time the landslide area may be larger, Big, no longer limited to side halls.”

Master Xiao didn't understand: "In January this year, we asked Xiangzhuan Shuiling to inspect the foundation, and they said there would be no problem for the main hall to carry on for another three to five years!"

"I see that the floor tiles in your main hall have sunk and the main stone pillars are also skewed." This kind of tilt cannot be seen by ordinary people, but in the eyes of experienced craftsmen, it is as obvious as a tick on a bald man's head. , "This situation is like building a house on sand. When the flood comes...it all depends on God's will."

Master Xiao said angrily: "Can't we use magical formations to assist?"

"There are some solid formations that are optional, but once you use them one day, you will need to use them every day from now on without interruption. This may not be a long-term solution."

In this way, the Xilin Temple has collapsed?

Master Xiao was unwilling to give in. There were 2,500 attendants and temple guards in Xilin Temple. Once the temple is gone, where will so many people go?

He thought about it and decided to ask Xiangzhuan Shuiling again to see what was going on underground.

The Xiangzhuan River outside the city and the Xiangzhuan Lake inside the city are interconnected water bodies. Tianshui City also hired water spirits to manage the creatures in these two water bodies.

Of course, the water spirits can do nothing about the natural lake water seepage, which is an objective reason of the terrain.

The reason why it is called "Xiangzhuan" is that the scenery beside the river and lake is beautiful, so several temples are built. The temple likes to burn incense, which can be heard a hundred steps away, hence the name.

But unexpectedly, with the worsening of waterlogging in Tianshui City, the building standing by the water has become a flaw.

On the day when the water spirit entered the lake, it caused a small sensation in the lower forest area. Civilians crowded to the lakeside, waiting to watch the so-called "river god coming out of the water".

As the capital of Yao State, Tianshui City does not have a mountain and swamp position, but there are water spirits, and there are several of them. However, they have been lurking underwater for many years and rarely show their faces.

There was a splashing sound suddenly from the calm lake. It looked like rain from a distance, but it was a fishing season when you looked closer!

Countless small fish jumped onto the lake surface in panic, as if hiding from something underwater.

Soon, someone shouted at the lakeside: "Shuiling, Xiangzhuan Shuiling is here!"

Everyone crowded to the shore and looked down.

Deep underwater, it seemed that a huge dark red shadow swam slowly along the lakeshore, and there seemed to be blocky spots on its body.
