"Now Lan Changdao is no longer their opponent in Bingshan Road. I am worried that they will attack the Snow Mountain Sect and forcefully occupy the water source, so I invited Taoist Master Lin to come."
Lin Xiaodong said: "The lower reaches rely on the river to draw water, and the upper reaches should not build dams."
Zhou Lizi nodded: "This matter was due to my negligence. I agreed with Huaican Pavilion to go to Jixia Mountain to plant Yunxiang, but I didn't expect that they built a dam on the Xinghe River."
Lin Xiaodong said: "The Taoist dispute has nothing to do with the people. Even if we win, it will not affect the downstream draft."
Zhou Lizi was embarrassed: "But if the dam is not built, there will be no water to irrigate the Yunmuxiang on the mountain. I personally promised Huaican Pavilion this matter, so how can I change my mind?"
Lin Xiaodong crossed his arms and closed his eyes: "If this matter cannot be resolved, even if we win, we will only win for a while."
Seeing Lin Xiaodong's attitude, Zhou Lizi had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll go talk to Huaican Pavilion and find a way out."
Lin Xiaodong stayed in Muxue Palace, Jiang Xuesong went down the mountain again and informed Xu Tingyu of the matter. That night, Zhou Lizi went to Huaican Pavilion in person.
Wang Qisi came with a mountain of disciples to greet him and asked: "Palace Master Zhou, is Taoist Master Lin here?"
Zhou Lizi blinked and said: "Taoist Master Lin said that the dispute between the Taoist gates cannot affect the drinking water of the people downstream. You can no longer build this dam."
Wang Qisi said anxiously: "Palace Master, you personally agreed to plant Yunmuxiang in Jixia Mountain."
Zhou Lizi licked her lips: "I agreed, but I didn't agree to you building a dam on the mountain."
Zhang Zhizhi spread his hands and said: "If we don't build the dam, there won't be enough water. There's nothing we can do."
Zhou Lizi said: "If you build a dam, what will happen to the draft downstream?"
Huang Ankang said unhappily: "Who cares about them?
Can a living person die of thirst?
There is no water in Xinghe River, so why not just move to a place with water?"
Guo Kaige also said: "Palace Master Zhou, this is the matter of our Lan Chang Dao. Lin Dao Chang is too lenient, so why should you listen to him?"
Zhou Lizi glared and said with a cold face: "You are building the dam, and Taoist Lin won't help. Without Taoist Lin, how can we deal with Bingshan Road just by you and me?"
Wang Qisi said excitedly: "What should I do with the clouds and woods all over my mountain?"
Zhou Lizi became a little angry: "Do you have to plant it on Jixia Mountain?"
Seeing Zhou Lizi's anger, Wang Qisi softened his tone and said, "Palace Master Zhou, at the beginning, you just considered that Jixia Mountain is close to our Puduan Mountain, so it is convenient to run back and forth."
Zhou Lizi had an idea and said: "You can change the mountain."
Wang Qisi looked at Zhang Zhizhi and others and asked: "Gong Weishan?"
Zhou Lizi thought for a while and shook her head: "Gong Weishan can set up a dojo in the future, but it would be a pity to use it for you to grow vegetables."
Zhang Zhizhi said: "Where is Xiguan Mountain?"
There is a Jing'an River at the foot of Xiguan Mountain. It is within the territory of Lanchang Road. No matter how you use water, it will not affect Bingshan Road. Zhou Lizi agreed: "Okay, then you can go to Xiguan Mountain, Jixia Mountain and Xinghe River. Don't move there anymore."
.”
Wang Qisi lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and whispered: "Palace Master Zhou, what about the losses caused to us by Longlu Hall?"
Zhou Lizi rolled her eyes: "With Taoist Master Lin sitting in charge, we defeated their Bingshan Taoist army, so we can't just negotiate terms casually."
Wang Qisi was overjoyed and bowed to Zhou Lizi: "Thank you, Palace Master Zhou."
After the matter was settled, Zhou Lizi returned to Muxue Palace, rested in the hall, called Jiang Xuesong, and asked, "Have you gone to see Xu Tingyu?"
Jiang Xuesong nodded: "I'm going. Head Xu said that he wants to go back and organize manpower."
Zhou Lizi said: "Master Xu is smart and knows that there will be a battle between the two factions, so he directly said that he would organize manpower."
Jiang Xuesong asked: "What did they say about the Huaican Pavilion?"
Zhou Lizi said: "I asked them to go to Xiguan Mountain to plant seeds. No matter how we build the dam, it will not affect the Bingshan Road."
Jiang Xuesong felt relieved: "That's good."
Zhou Lizi asked: "Where is Taoist Lin?"
Jiang Xuesong looked out of the hall: "You are in the room, you must have rested already."
Zhou Lizi waved her hand: "Go ahead."
Jiang Xuesong left the hall, and Zhou Lizi sat alone for a while. After coming back to her senses, she came to the door of Lin Xiao's east room and knocked lightly: "Taoist Master Lin?"
Lin Xiaodong was resting his mind with his eyes closed. He got out of bed and opened the door. When he saw it was Zhou Lizi, he saluted and said, "Palace Master Zhou."
Zhou Lizi smiled: "I just came back from Huaican Pavilion and asked them to go to Gongkai Mountain to plant Yunmuxiang, so that there is no need to build a dam on the Xinghe River."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Thank you, Palace Master Zhou."
Zhou Lizi blinked and asked Lin Xiaodong: "Is Taoist Lin taking a break?"
Lin Xiaodong hurriedly waved his hand: "Not yet, just sit quietly and relax."
Zhou Lizi said: "I want to talk to you."
Lin Xiaodong hurriedly invited Zhou Lizi in, and the two sat across from each other at the table in front of the window.
Zhou Lizi lowered her head and looked at her embroidered shoes and said, "Taoist Master Lin is right. Taoist matters should not affect the common people's livelihood."
"I have been the leader for too long. I only consider the general trend of the Taoist sect when doing things. I have long forgotten about innocent people."
"I didn't think there was anything wrong with Huaican Pavilion building a dam on the Xinghe River. It wasn't until you mentioned it during the day that I thought about the water supply for the people downstream."
"Taoist Master Lin has great magical power. He has no rivals in the six realms of Taoist sects, but he still has a compassionate heart. It is really admirable."
"In comparison, I am far behind. My mind is filled with the disputes among Taoists, I have forgotten my original intention of cultivating Taoism, and I have no regard for the common people in the world."
Lin Xiaodong smiled: "Palace Master Zhou is the head of the sect and the leader of the Taoist sect. Lin is just an idle Taoist, so he naturally views things differently."
Zhou Lizi raised her head: "Not only Xinghe, but also Wufeng River, Pingdai River, and Miaoqian River are not allowed to build dams."
"To defeat them, it is enough for Longlutang to pay Huaicange the money to build the dam and dispel their ambition to annex Lanchangdao."
Lin Xiaodong was very satisfied with Zhou Lizi's plan and nodded: "If this is the case, I will offer a plan to Palace Master Zhou."
Zhou Lizi tilted her head and leaned forward: "What advice does Master Lin have?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Build dams on all four rivers."
Zhou Lizi understood, nodded and said: "Okay, if that's the case, this matter will probably be resolved in less than three to five days."
Lin Xiaodong smiled and said nothing. Zhou Lizi glanced at him, got up and left.
The next morning, Zhou Lizi went to the hall and called Jiang Xuesong.
Jiang Xuesong asked: "What's wrong, teacher?"
Zhou Lizi said: "Go and arrange to build dams on Xinghe River, Wufeng River, Pingdai River, and Miaoqian River."
Jiang Xuesong opened his mouth and blinked, understanding the intention of doing this, and asked: "Are we really planning to fight Bing Shandao?"
Zhou Lizi nodded: "A battle is inevitable, let's go."
Jiang Xuesong left Muxue Palace and went to Huaican Pavilion first.
Wang Qisi and Zhang Zhizhi came out to greet him. Wang Qisi asked, "Why is my nephew here?"
Jiang Xuesong said: "My teacher wants you to rebuild the Xinghe Dam."
Wang Qisi was stunned: "Didn't it say that cultivation is no longer allowed?"
Jiang Xuesong replied: "Not only Xinghe River, but also Wufeng River, Pingdai River, and Miaoqian River must be built with dams to block the water."
