After returning to the county seat, Chen Hongyu began to wander around the county seat. It seems that Yongle County is Wang County with a large population, but at this time due to the suffering of floods, the county town is also in a depression.
Zhao Zhan had been in Yongle County for more than ten days. He was able to control the county government and barely comfort the people affected by the flood. However, he had no clue about the flood.
"This flood is obviously not caused by natural factors. There are even ghosts and monks involved in it. I am afraid that this matter cannot be easily solved by conventional means."
Thinking of the next thing, Chen Hongyu couldn't help but hold the dragon pendant around his waist and rub it in his hand. This dragon pendant was given by his cheap great-grandmother, the Holy Mother God Emperor. Once the dragon energy in it is aroused, whether it is ghosts, gods or monks, they will all be suppressed by this dragon pendant.
All bow their heads.
"I would like to see what is the cause of this flood. I may not be able to use this incident to make preliminary contacts with practitioners in this world."
With his mind spinning, Chen Hongyu shook his head and saw the righteous man in the distance, a monk with white beard and hair and an immortal spirit walking proudly past.
"How many days has the Taoist priest been here?" Chen Hongyu narrowed his eyes slightly and pulled a guard beside him to ask.
The guard immediately replied, "Young Master, according to the information we gathered after arriving in Yongle County, it has been more than half a month since the old Taoist arrived in Yongle County.
During this period, the old Taoist wandered around the market, and his methods of divination and divination, as well as his methods of curing diseases and saving lives, were impressive, and he had gained some fame in Yongle County.
Although you, Young Master, have not asked about it before, we have collected all the information about this old Taoist."
Hearing this, Chen Hongyu was thoughtful. Now that Taoism and Buddhism are fighting each other, it is the time of sacrifice, and this world respects humanity. It is not impossible for this Taoist sect to make early bets on Zhao Zhan's potential.
I just don’t know how this Taoist priest will set up the thread. Will he openly announce it or will he pretend to be a ghost?
In the midst of his thoughts, he saw the old Taoist priest reciting a poem and then disappearing.
"Has this entered the Dharma Realm?" Chen Hongyu was thinking in his mind. Although he didn't know much about this world of immortality, he also knew about the existence of the Dharma Realm.
Ordinary monks can only physically enter the Dharma Realm after becoming a real person. At this time, the old Taoist priest deliberately entered the Dharma Realm in front of him. It was obvious that he was treating him as a child and wanted to arouse curiosity.
When Zhao Zhan was helpless in the face of the flood, he could naturally ask the old man to help based on the rumors in the market.
"Why are you doing so many bells and whistles? Since you are too proud of your figure to bow your head or you want to wait for a higher price, then just keep pretending!"
Chen Hongyu turned a blind eye to the thoughts in his mind and returned to the mansion with the armored soldiers behind him.
At this time, Zhao Zhan had also temporarily finished handling the county government affairs and was resting at home. When he saw Chen Hongyu returning home, he did not get up. He slumped on the seat and asked, "How was it? You went to explore Changshui today. Can you find anything unusual?"
?”
"There is indeed an abnormal situation. The water in Changshui is not as strong as in previous years. I have asked Mr. Changshui to come to the mansion today to explain the situation."
Zhao Zhan was not surprised when he heard what Chen Hongyu said. Even though Lord Chang Shui was the water god of the land and had a respected status, he was still a bit underwhelmed in front of him, the king of the county.
If an ordinary county magistrate summons him, Lord Changshui can naturally rely on the intricate relationships he operates locally to avoid him. But the current magistrate of Yongle County is Zhao Zhan, and Lord Changshui will not be able to disobey him if he dares to do so.
Eat fruit.
“While taking control of the county government recently, I have a vague feeling that the middle- and lower-level officials do not seem to be particularly active in exploring flood problems.
If I hadn’t already placed the county magistrate and other important positions with retainers from the mansion, and the other positions were inconvenient to move because of local powerful people,"
The father and son did not shy away. There was no one else in the hall anyway, so the discussion between the two was heated. While Chen Hongyu and Zhao Zhan were discussing, they suddenly saw guards coming quickly from outside the mansion.
"Your Majesty, the sudden flood caused many areas that were not affected by the disaster to suffer great losses again."
Hearing this, Chen Hongyu and Zhao Zhan looked at each other and immediately prepared to lead the soldiers of the mansion towards the water. This is no small matter. The flood that had been gradually calmed down has become more serious. For the people who are now barely maintaining stability,
This is definitely bad news for Yongle County.
"Yuan'er, there are many doubts about this flood, and it is not simple. What's more, the Changshui River is raging now, what if there is an accident?
Although your mind is no less than that of a father, your body is still young. However, you have decided not to go on adventures this time and just stay with your mother in the mansion.
Anyway, this mansion is protected by the luck of the court, and neither the ghosts nor the practitioners can harm your sister, mother and son!"
When he was about to leave, Zhao Zhan remembered that although his son had an extraordinary mind, he was still young and might suffer if he accidentally fell into the water or encountered some monster.
"It doesn't matter!" Chen Hongyu's eyes were glaring. Even though he and Zhao Zhan were in the mansion, they could still hear the roar of the dragon coming from the distance.
"This flood is suspected to be caused by monsters, but no matter how powerful the monster is, it will not be able to exert much power if it is suppressed by Daqi Qi Luck." After saying this, Chen Hongyu pointed to the dragon pendant around his waist.
"This dragon pendant was given by the Holy Mother God-Emperor. It contains the emperor's dragon energy. As a member of the royal family, I naturally have a way to induce the dragon energy in it.
The Dragon Qi is the general outline of human nature. Our Daqi State is now at its peak of national power, and the Dragon Qi of the Emperor prohibits all methods. No matter how Taoist he is, all the monsters and monsters in the water will be eliminated under the Dragon Qi of the Emperor."
"That's fine!" Zhao Zhan picked up Chen Hongyu and mounted his horse, "Since Yuan'er has such means, then my father and son can naturally go to the Changshui to explore with peace of mind."
————————————————
After the carriages and horses had gone away, a Taoist suddenly appeared outside the mansion, it was Zhong Lingxiu.
Just now, Zhao Yuan and his son were outside the mansion, not blocked by the fate of the court, and they did not deliberately cover up. Even in the legal world, he still heard the conversation between the father and son.
"What a big tone, so what if you are the reincarnation of the True King? Aren't you going to be affected by the mystery in the womb? Even if it's because your basic spiritual intelligence was born early, that's it.
The strength of that evil dragon is considered to be top-notch even among Taoist disciples like me, so how could it be so easy to surrender like that?"
With his mind spinning, Zhong Lingxiu also rushed towards the Changshui River. As for the flooding in Yongle County, he had roughly learned something about it through Xuanqing Road. At this time, he was just waiting for Zhao Yuan and his son to come to ask for advice.
However, he did not expect that this father and son would be so conceited. Even if humanity is respected in this world, it does not mean that they can be suppressed easily.
Even though a mere county magistrate has good fortune, it is not easy to deal with a dragon that is comparable to a real Taoist.
Today he wanted to see how Zhao Zhan and his son dealt with the dragon.
Now that the Daqi royal family is in decline, the title of a county prince alone cannot play a big role. Moreover, it always felt that the previous conversation between Zhao Zhan and his son was deliberately made to be heard by his family.
"A true Taoist? A water spirit? I, Zhong Lingxiu, want to see how a prince like you mobilizes dragon energy."
