Mayor He smiled awkwardly and did not go to pick up Ah Fang. As for how much money Ah Hao could give, Mayor He actually didn't have much idea right now.
After all, this water is for all the people in Fengmen Town to eat and drink, not the mayor's family. The money still needs to be raised from the public, so the amount is counted.
However, those wealthy families in Fengmen Town must have at least thirty-fifty taels of silver, so the amount they can always raise should not be small.
The Taoist priest raised an eyebrow towards Ah Fang, and Ah Hao and the other two just glared at him. It's so shameful. It would be great to shut up at this time. What are you going to say?
The two guys looked at those sharp and cannibalistic eyes, decisively gave up and continued questioning, shrank their necks angrily, and then moved back a little to keep a safe distance.
Anyway, the two of them had an ominous premonition that if they continued to seek death, they would be beaten.
But when it comes to seeking death, sometimes you can't do it yourself. It's completely out of your control. If you're seeking death, you just rush out without thinking about it. After you think about it, you find it's too late when you say the wrong thing.
Fortunately, there are so many outsiders here at this time, and Taoist priest Yimei is also a person who wants to have face. This kind of situation is not suitable for beating people.
As a result, Ah Fang and Ah Hao were temporarily spared.
But I guess I can settle the accounts after I return.
"Little Taoist Master, I wonder if you have found anything unusual?"
Xu Ce pretended to frown and carefully scanned the terrain and hydrology here again, and then said slowly:
"The wind in Feng Shui refers to the air flow. You must not block the air flow. But looking around, you can see that the wind is blowing and the air flow is smooth. In other words, there should be no problem with the wind."
"Then the Taoist priest means that the problem lies in the water?"
Mayor He nodded, the breeze blowing on his cheeks. Just as Xu Ce said, there is indeed no problem.
Xu Ce nodded, shook his head, looked at the veins of the stream above, and said:
"Maybe it is, maybe it's not. As for the specifics, show me the water source before I can make a conclusion."
"Then I'll have to thank the Taoist priest."
Mayor He made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Ce walked in front, heading towards the upper reaches of the stream. Along the way, the stream was gurgling and very refreshing.
Finally, Xu Ce stopped at a small pool. Below the small pool was a cliff of seven or eight meters. The stream flowed downwards, and this small pool was the source of the stream.
"Little Taoist Priest, what did you see?"
Mayor He asked anxiously.
Xu Ce shook his head, said nothing, and walked down again.
Seeing this, everyone followed and stopped as Xu Ce's footsteps stopped.
"Mayor He, it is said that if the wind is in charge and the people are prosperous, the people will be in charge of the wealth. If the wind does not enter the house, the people will not be prosperous.
If the water does not flow to the temple and the wealth does not flourish, the water level pattern of your Fengmen Town is also first-rate.
This is called Long Tu Zhu Cave."
Xu Ce pointed to a ring-like water hole formed in front of him due to years of erosion, and continued:
"The mountain rock has been washed and eroded by the stream for many years, forming a water ring. In the theory of Feng Shui, the water ring traps the water flow, forming a golden dragon chasing beads.
As the saying goes, the pearls are round and the jade is round, and the house is fat and the roof is round. Isn’t that true? We can know the result by looking at the beads here! "
While talking, Xu Ce walked to the water launch site on the small flat beach here and squatted down.
"Little Taoist Priest, where is the location of the dragon ball?"
Mayor He asked.
Xu Ce smiled slightly, pointed at the outlet of the stream, and said:
"If there are no accidents, it should be here."
Immediately, Xu Ce broke open the stone, and sure enough, there was a smooth stone bead hidden under the stone.
This stone bead is the dragon bead in Feng Shui and plays an extremely important role.
However, there is a crack on the stone bead.
Before Xu Ce could speak, Mayor He asked in horror:
"Little Taoist Priest, is this the Dragon Ball?
But why did the dragon ball crack? Is it the water quality problem caused by the crack of the dragon ball?"
Mayor He was shocked.
"Little Taoist Priest, what should we do now?"
Xu Ce pondered and said:
"Based on what we see before us, there is indeed a problem with the water.
But it’s not that the water quality is affected by the cracking of the dragon beads. It should be said that there is a problem with the water quality that causes the dragon beads to crack.”
While speaking, Xu Ce walked towards a waterweed next to him with frowning eyebrows, stretched out his hand and pulled out the waterweed.
When I held it in my hand, I saw that the roots of the waterweed were dark and began to fester.
At this moment, a dead fish floated downstream in the current. Xu Ce, with sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed the dead fish and opened the fish's gills. The gills were all rotten and black.
Xu Ce handed these to Mayor He and said:
"Mayor He, you have also seen it. It seems that there is something wrong with this stream.
Inform the people that it is best not to drink it, and the animals should not eat it."
"Yeah, I understand. Actually, there is no need to inform you that people have stopped using the water from this stream.
Go around and get water from people's houses with wells to drink, eh.
Now that the reason has been found, does the Taoist priest have any good ideas to solve it?"
Xu Ce pondered and looked at Taoist Master Yimei, thinking in his mind, what other good ideas could he come up with, such as opening new water sources and digging wells.
But what to do next is not what Xu Ce is good at. It has to be left to Taoist Master Yimei. This matter was already discussed on the way here.
"Mayor He, don't be too anxious. Now that we are here, we must come up with a solution."
"Oh, that would be great."
At this time, Taoist Priest Yimei came over, addressed the Infinite Heavenly Lord, and then said:
"Mayor He, the easiest way is now. Before coming, Pindao had already made some guesses in his mind. But when he arrived at the scene today, he saw that if this is the case, then we only need to open a new big well and use it with new water.
The problem can be solved by using well water instead of stream water as the water source of Fengmen Town."
"Dig a new well?"
Mayor He was a little hesitant. After all, his original intention was to directly solve the stream problem, rather than open up a new water source.
"Is there no other way?"
The Taoist priest sighed and said:
"Hey, the poor master and apprentice are too shallow. Although they have verified through the theory of water in Feng Shui that there is indeed a problem with the water source, they cannot find out where the problem lies. The drinking water problem of tens of thousands of people in Fengmen Town needs to be solved urgently.
Therefore, Pindao believes that it is better to open up new water sources first and allow the people in Fengmen Town to drink water normally in the shortest possible time. Then, with extra time, we can slowly find out the reasons for the changes in the stream water.
No matter what the final result is, it will not affect the drinking water problem of Fengmen Town.
I wonder if Mayor He thinks Pindao’s words are reasonable?”
