The West Lake has dried up, which is big news that can shock the entire Rongcheng.
That afternoon, West Lake was packed with reporters and citizens watching the excitement.
People are studying this magical spectacle and constantly expressing their opinions, but most people's opinions are like fantasy and very unreliable. Even so, reporters still keep interviewing the citizens who are watching the excitement. Some Citizens even made up all kinds of lies in order to attract attention.
Some people say that he saw a dragon in the West Lake when the incident happened. It was the dragon that left the West Lake and took away the water from the West Lake.
Some people also say that there was a god practicing cultivation at the bottom of the West Lake. After he attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, the West Lake dried up.
What's more, it is said that there are monsters hidden in the West Lake. If the monsters touch the ground of Rongcheng, disaster will happen in Rongcheng soon.
Everyone has different opinions and all kinds of strange theories have cast a mysterious veil on the drying up of West Lake.
Later, some experts drove along the water area of the West Lake to investigate and found that the river above the West Lake suddenly changed its course, which led to the cessation of the West Lake.
As for why the West Lake water disappeared so quickly, experts attributed it to the underground river. They said it was because the geography of Rongcheng had changed, causing the West Lake water to quickly flow into the underground river.
Although the experts' opinions seemed a bit pale, they still dispelled many people's doubts, and some of the baseless remarks were ignored by everyone.
However, citizens still hope that the water in West Lake can come back. After all, without water, West Lake is just a big smelly quagmire. Not only is the smell unpleasant, it may also affect the surrounding housing prices.
In this farce, everyone was watching the lively carnival, except the Li family, who couldn't get excited at all.
On the top floor of West Lake Yaju, more than a dozen core members of the Li family gathered here. They looked at the West Lake, which used to be rippling blue waves, and now turned into a smelly quagmire. Their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.
Li Peizhong sat in the main seat and said to everyone with a calm face:
"The West Lake is the geomantic treasure of our Li family. The Li family is able to prosper by occupying the luck of the West Lake. Now some people are calling for the water in the West Lake to be cut off. They are clearly deliberately cutting off the lifeblood of my Li family! Everyone here is our Li family. You all, those who can speak, tell me, what do you think about this matter?"
Everyone stared at each other, no one dared to speak first.
The water in the West Lake stopped flowing too suddenly, and they were still in a state of confusion. How could they dare to say anything? If they said the wrong thing now, the consequences would be disastrous.
After everyone was silent for a long time, someone finally spoke:
"Could it be that the Bai family hired someone to do it?"
The Bai family has developed rapidly in recent years and has long ignored the Liu family. Now it is not impossible to take action against the Li family.
Li Peizong replied: "Peihua has seen the person who took action. It seems to be a young man who walked out of the room of the head of the Lushan Sect. However, the Lushan Sect and we have always been on the same page, so we should not make a sudden move. However, the great elder of Lushan Sect has close ties with the Bai family, so we cannot rule out the possibility that the mastermind behind this is the Bai family, but the top priority is to find out the identity of the person who did it."
Someone asked: "Peihua has seen the person who took action? Does he have any characteristics? To be able to do something like this, he must not be a small person, but maybe a famous person in the world."
Li Peihua, who changed his clothes on the side, shook his head silently: "He was dressed in ordinary clothes and had no characteristics on his body. It was impossible to tell which sect he was from, but before he left, he told me that we should not investigate him. With his identity, he will soon take the initiative to visit our Li family."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
A master who can stop the flow of water in the West Lake wants to "come to the Li family's door"?
These words match the other person's menstruation, and they sound like threatening words!
Everyone quickly began to think about whether they had provoked some big shot recently, which led to such trouble.
Li Qing'er stood next to Li Peizhong, feeling very bad.
It was originally a nice family gathering, but it turned out to be such a big deal.
Stopping the flow of water in the West Lake will undoubtedly cut off the lifeline of the Li family and blatantly slap the Li family in the face.
In all the years since she was born, Li Qing'er has never felt such shame.
In her eyes, the Li family is superior.
She asked: "Dad, since that person came from the Lushan sect's room, shouldn't we just ask the Lushan sect's people directly?"
Li Peizong shook his head: "The Lushan sect has no friendship with our Li family. Their head, Lu Jingsheng, never interferes in the affairs between the three major families, so even if we ask, they won't tell."
"What's so great about the Lushan Sect that they can't even give our ancestors face?" Li Qing'er said angrily.
Li Fen quickly pulled Li Qing'er aside and said to her in a low voice: "Our ancestors are still ghosts after all, and the Lushan sect is here to catch ghosts. Do you think they will give you face?"
Li Qing'er suddenly woke up, but she was still a little unhappy with the Lushan Sect.
Li Peizong let out a long sigh and felt quite helpless about this matter.
He thought for a moment and said, "You all should find ways to investigate who is responsible. In addition, it would be better to find someone to restore the West Lake to its original appearance as soon as possible."
If you want to bring back the water from the West Lake, you must find people who are good at Feng Shui. Unfortunately, Li Peizong doesn't know such people.
Just as everyone was discussing their worries, the door to the room was suddenly knocked, and the previous manager said timidly:
"Mr. Li, the guest in Qingzi's room wants to see you."
Li Peizhong was annoyed and had no time to see his guests. He waved his hand impatiently: "No!"
The manager said: "The other party said that they are Taoist priests seeking enlightenment on Kunlun Mountain. They know that you are in trouble and are here to help you resolve the crisis."
When Li Peizhong heard this, he immediately changed his attitude and said immediately: "Invite the guests over quickly!"
He was in need of people who knew Feng Shui, but the other party came to his door right away. It was such a coincidence that Li Peizong was more willing to believe that the other party had calculated this step and came to wait in advance.
There is a saying in the Taoist sect that goes, "Kunlun in the south, horses come out from the north." It is also said that "Kunlun is in the south, and one word is Feng Shui. There is horse in the north, and one goes to the underworld." Therefore, the Taoist priests on Kunlun Mountain must be proficient in the art of Feng Shui!
Under the expectation of the Li family, two Taoist priests, one old and one young, in white clothes, walked into the private room.
The old Taoist priest, with white hair and a boyish face, holds a whisk in his hand, and looks like an immortal Taoist.
The young Taoist priest has a gentle face, is quite handsome, and has the appearance of an immortal descending from the earth.
Li Peizong immediately stood up and saluted the two of them with clasped fists:
"The two Taoist priests came at the right time. I, Li Peizong, am the current head of the Li family in Rongcheng. I wonder who you two are?"
The old Taoist priest glanced at the young Taoist priest. The young Taoist priest cleared his throat and said:
"We are Taoist priests from the Miaoyu Temple in Kunlun Mountain. My master is a master of Taoism. He has no name, only a trade name, and is called 'Master Fuque'!"
The young Taoist priest paused and then said: "My surname is Gao Mingjie, and my courtesy name is Zizhen. You can just call me Gao Zizhen!"
Before Li Peizhong could compliment them, the very extraordinary-looking Fu Que suddenly let out a surprised "Huh" and then strode towards Dong Ting, his eyes resting on the baby in her arms.
Dong Ting was a little scared: "Really, really, is there any problem?"
Master Fuque touched his beard and said with an ugly face:
"Vicious, really vicious! The person who broke the Li family's feng shui also placed a curse on this baby. If he hadn't met a poor man, this child would be haunted by the curse when he came of age, lose his mind, and massacre all his relatives.
