The Emperor is Above

Chapter 519: Building Gaoling City
"The process of Yin Warrior ritual formation is very complicated."

The humble witch knelt on the ground and said, "The complicated ritual process is only the first step. After that, we need to bury it underground to absorb the evil spirit.

My clan has been entrenched in the Lishui Lake for more than 800 years, and has been dealing with the corpses after sacrifices in this way. Even the old witch himself doesn't know how many Yin warriors we have accumulated to date.

The old witch was bent on taking over the northern border to establish a ghost kingdom on earth. He emptied the ghost witch tribe's assets for his own ambitions, but due to the short time schedule, he was bound to miss a lot.

Because the topography of the Lishui Lake has been constantly changing over the past 800 years, many of the locations where the Yin Warriors were originally buried have gradually been submerged in the lake and cannot be found. "

Qing Yi used his divine power of the Sky Eye to closely observe the lower wizard, but found that the other party did not show any signs of lying, so he continued to ask:
"Since even the old witch doesn't know where these Yin warriors are buried, why would their crawling out tonight be related to my destruction of the grotto?"

"Master, allow me to report!"

The lower witch knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "My tribe is in that cave to sacrifice Yin warriors. Once someone destroys the altar in the cave, all the Yin warriors will crawl out to attack the enemy.

Even if the old witch wanted to summon all the Yin warriors, it would be impossible for him to destroy the cave altar, which is why so many of them were left.

However, when Yin warriors attack people, they must be controlled by upper and lower witches holding the soul-calling banners, otherwise they will wander around without any purpose like now."

After figuring out the reasons why so many Yin warriors appeared, Qing Yi no longer had so many worries in his heart. Yin warriors without anyone in command were just roving soldiers and there was nothing to be feared.

The next day, the Longcheng Guard led by Gongsun Wu and the Zhongzhou Allied Forces led by Shen Bumie and Shen Buhai arrived. They were eager to fight and immediately took the initiative to assume the task of clearing out the Yin warriors.

The Diqiu Mage Camp, headed by Zhao Wensheng, also took the initiative to propose to eliminate the remaining miasma, yin energy, and evil energy in the swamp within hundreds of miles around the Ghost Witch Tribe as much as possible.

After sending them off, Qing Yi was busy looking for Qing Hua again, asking her to leave part of her 10,000 tree spirits in the Lishui Lake:
"The Lishui Lake is a place with abundant water and grass, and it controls the vital east-west throat of the northern border. Now that we have completely dealt with the Ghost Witch Tribe, we must control it.

I plan to find a suitable location in the swamp to build a city, mobilize a group of willow-sacrificing pharmacists from the Dragon City Fengtu, and cultivate a spiritual blessed land in the swamp. "

How long can a piece of spiritual plants give birth to a spiritual blessed land? The top-level spiritual wood often plays a very important role. The tree spirits under Qinghua are at least of the fifth grade, which is obviously the best option.

Qinghua thought for a moment and said with a hint of joy: "Then I will leave a thousand tree spirits here. It would be great if one day the entire Yunling to Daze is covered with spirit realms."

"This day will come!"

Qing Yi had a bright smile on his face, but he was a little surprised in his heart. He had thought that it would be nice to have dozens of tree elves, but Qinghua waved his hand and kept thousands of tree elves.

Next, Qing Yi, accompanied by Shi Dazhu, Shanmao Dabao and Gongsun Wu, took the lowly witch to look for the crystal mine discovered by the Ghost Witch Tribe, and to look for a new location to build a city.

The mine is located two hundred miles southwest of the Ghost Witch Tribe camp, on an island with a radius of more than ten miles. The island is covered with lush vegetation and it is impossible to find the location without the guidance of an insider.

"Originally, there were more than a thousand slaves mining here, but the old witch was afraid of accidents after he went out to fight, so he brought them all back to the Ghost Witch Tribe camp. Now they are all dead."

After a series of blows, the lowly witch spoke listlessly, "In fact, there is a geomagnetic black iron mine and a silver mine in the southeast.

There is a salt well on an island 300 miles northwest. By extracting extremely salty brine from underground, pure white salt can be boiled. "Qing Yi carefully observed the crystal mine. The vein was not too large, but it could fully meet the consumption and needs of the Dragon City burial mound.

"My Lord, the Lishui Lake not only has the benefits of water, but also contains so many precious mineral deposits. It is absolutely necessary to build a city here to defend it."

Gongsun Wu's eyes were filled with excitement but also with a hint of worry, "The entire Daze is full of lakes, ponds, swamps and marshes, which will make it difficult to communicate with the outside world in the future.

Moreover, the hydrology of the lake is unpredictable. Once the floods in summer and autumn surge, there is a great danger of being submerged, so we have to consider it in advance."

Qing Yi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Gongsun. We flew all the way here on the Great Wilderness Dragon Eagle. I vaguely saw a good spot. Let's go over and take a closer look."

The three people and the cat were riding on the dragon eagle's back. They saw the place Qing Yi pointed out from 20 to 30 miles away, and they all exclaimed in admiration: "This place is indeed more suitable for building a city."

This is a high hill covering an area of ​​more than ten miles. The middle part is twenty or thirty feet higher than the Lishui Lake, but the overall terrain is flat and its shape is similar to an oval.

It is convenient to build cities without having to worry about floods, and hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land can be reclaimed in the surrounding area, which is enough to meet future food needs.

The most important thing is that the strategic location is very important. It seems that this place is just an ordinary high ground surrounded by lakes and waters, but it can only be discovered when looking down from the sky.

The surrounding lakes and marshes are the intersection of the flood channels of Hutiao River and Lishui River, which means that the city can be connected with Yangwu City and Feixiong Bay City via convenient waterways.

Shi Dazhu exclaimed: "No one has ever discovered that this is a key point controlling the waterway in the northern border. Going downstream should be able to connect with the White Wolf City in the southeast of the northern border.

No wonder the Ghost Witch Tribe chose the Lishui Lake as their base more than 800 years ago. No wonder the old witch had to control the northern border first. The entire lake and water system are enough to provide so many conveniences. "

Gongsun Wu also suggested: "Since the Lord wants to build a city here, you can directly use ships to transport various equipment here to start construction.

If you want to cultivate land, try to limit the scope and cultivate only within the high hills. If the beasts escape this year, they will definitely return next year. I wonder what name you are going to give to this city, my lord?"

"Is this it?"

Qing Yi pinched his chin and thought, "The confluence of two rivers is called Hejian? Heyang? Water City? Oh, forget it, since the city is built on a high hill, let's call it Gaoling City.

From now on, Longcheng Mound will no longer be used to settle new citizens, but will be used exclusively as the location of Longcheng Research Institute and School, and also as our base for growing spiritual rice.

All the people who migrate here in the future will be settled in Yangwu City, Gaoling City, Xuanwei City, and the vast land between the three. There will be no problem settling millions of people."

After choosing a suitable site for building the city, Qing Yi asked everyone to move here and settle down. The next day, the fleet that set out from Feixiong Bay and Yangwu City arrived under the guidance and escort of the Great Wilderness Dragon Eagle.

The safe arrival of the fleet also means that this new water route has been completely opened up. There is no need to worry about Gaoling City's external connections anymore. Instead, it will become the shipping center of the northern border.
