Chapter 51 Suspicious Clouds
"No matter how we build the dam or put up Taoist symbols, it will eventually be washed away. Everyone suspected that a Dragon King was coming from the river, so they built a Dragon King temple, but the Dragon King temple was also washed away."
"The county guard speculated that there was something unclean in the river, so he asked us to stay away from the dam in advance during heavy rain. As a result, the river broke through the dam and became even more powerful, even our houses were washed away..."
"Just some time ago, Da Zhuang and Gu Dan in the village took advantage of the calm weather to go fishing, but a wave hit them and they haven't come back yet..."
"Things are becoming more and more abnormal. In the past, strange forces and chaos would only occur during the rainy season, but recently, even though the weather is sunny and sunny, disasters have happened one after another..."
"The river seems to have become a spirit. It actually drags our fishing boat away. Now no one in the village dares to go fishing. Some old people who know the nature of water even say that there is a 'great immortal' in the water...
…”
"We also suspected that there were monsters in the river, so the county guard reported the matter to the immortal master. However, several groups of immortal masters came one after another, but nothing was found."
"Speaking of which, just seven days ago, several immortal masters came over. They went to the river specifically to check the situation. Now I see three more immortal masters coming here. I think the previous ones have disappeared...
…”
"well……"
After some inquiries, Zhou Xuan dismissed the people and asked them to stay away from the embankment first. It was best to take the people who were repairing their houses to stay away together to avoid any accidents later.
Looking away from the people's backs, Zhou Xuan, Li Qingsong, and Dui exchanged glances, and then said:
"Who can tell me your opinion first?"
Dumb raised his hand: "Brother Li, Brother Zhou, let me talk first."
Dui didn't participate much in the discussion along the way, so naturally he had to make a fuss now.
"First, although this dam has a history of several decades, the real disaster should have started five years ago. I don't know if this time is a clue..."
"Second, those uncles said that only the recent river water would destroy the dam and then wash away the houses and carry away the people... This thing doesn't seem to have happened before. I don't know if it has anything to do with demons..."
"Thirdly, no ordinary people have seen clearly what is in the river."
"If it's a demon that's causing trouble... Judging from what happened before, every time this demon attacks, it more or less takes advantage of a flood to occur."
"If that's the case, then why did you take action against the people when things were calm a few days ago?"
"It's a bit contradictory to act before and after..."
Zhou Xuan and Li Qingsong shook their heads after hearing this.
Then, Zhou Xuan asked Li Qingsong: "Brother Li, do you have anything to add?"
Although Li Qingsong was the initiator of the team, Zhou Xuan had a strategizing leader-like temperament during the sky survey. Li Qingsong did not feel uncomfortable about this, but instead looked at Zhou Xuan in his heart because of this.
He then said: "The construction of the dam originated from a water conservancy project decades ago. According to what the uncles just said, it was initiated by the county governor at that time..."
"Dumb ignored a question."
"time."
"A few decades ago, the lord of Guyu City was not Wu Bing. This Wu Bing was recommended by His Majesty the Crown Prince ten years ago. He was conferred by His Majesty and was appointed as the governor of Zangqing County. He is also Guyu.
The position of city lord."
"Since Wu Bing took office, the river has occasionally breached the dam, but it never caused flooding in the first place..."
"Until five years ago."
"Five years ago was a very sensitive time." Li Qingsong said sternly, "Brother Zhou, you should be very clear about it! Five years ago, you were still a demon inspector and went to the Spirit Sacrifice Mountains..."
Zhou Xuan nodded, thinking that Li Qingsong had indeed discovered this problem as well.
Dumb's expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed: "It's about the 'Pilan Mother Immortal Sect'!"
Five years ago, Ah-Dai was only ten years old. He had not yet been discovered by the Celestial Master and accepted a disciple. He had only heard about the Pilan Mu Immortal Sect, but after Li Qingsong's reminder, he also remembered it.
Li Qingsong said: "After the Pilan Mother Immortal Sect was destroyed, the sacred object of the sect, the 'Three Tribulations Soul Banner', disappeared. From that time on, strange things happened throughout Nanyun Continent."
"These strange things usually happen very secretly, as if there is a pair of masterminds behind the scenes... The mastermind behind the scenes should know the rules of the Tianshi Mansion very well, so they control the traces of demons in those incidents within a threshold, thus making
The places where those incidents occurred are all intermediate-level in the Tianxianjian, that is, yellow inspection points."
"I suspect... the weird feeling the City Lord's Mansion gave me should be related to the flooding here. There might even be a shadow of the 'Three Tribulation Soul Flags' behind them..."
"But!" Li Qingsong narrowed his eyes, "Wu Bing has done all this too secretly, and our patrol angels cannot launch an inspection on him... He is a member of the imperial court, so the state pastor can only investigate him.
"
"Other than that, we can only ask our land god from Nanyun Continent or the wandering god from the southern continents to check him out."
"And all we can do is check for flooding..."
Li Qingsong's words were heavy, like a heavy hammer placed on the heads of Zhou Xuan and Ah-Dai, making them breathless.
The small flood in Lone Bird City turned out to be a turbulent undercurrent, not only related to the Three Tribulation Soul Banners, but even the imperial court... was involved!
Zhou Xuan frowned when he heard this.
Especially Wu Bing!
He had the insight across the wall, and could tell from the evil aura in Wu Bing that there was definitely something wrong with him. But there were only three people who could check Wu Bing - Mu'an Zongtang of Nanyunzhou Prefecture, Nanyun Land God, and the southern
Geng, the wandering god of all continents.
He felt a little pain in his temples, so he stretched out his hand to rub it.
He has never seen the land of Nanyun, and An Zongtang was transformed from a fox demon. If Geng worships the wandering god... there is something wrong...
No, given their status, even if there is no problem with both of them, it is impossible to see them under normal circumstances.
So as Li Qingsong said, in the final analysis, the only thing we can really do is check for flooding.
"Brother Zhou, what are your thoughts?" After Li Qingsong finished speaking, he asked Zhou Xuan.
Dumb also looked over, with a look of expectation in his eyes.
Zhou Xuan's thoughts were pulled back, and he nodded and said: "There are three more points. In fact, you have all subconsciously ignored them... I will add them."
Three more points?
Li Qingsong and Ah-Dai looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but soon, excitement appeared in Li Qingsong's eyes.
Brothers, this week is really unusual!
Just listen to Zhou Xuan say:
Chapter completed!
