Chapter 575: The Coffin and the Walking Jiao
"This section of the area has been two years in a row, and every June there has been an unusually heavy rainstorm, and at the same time, there are rumors of ghosts and the sound of water monsters roaring, and some people have even seen the shadow of water monsters in the Yellow River......
Monster?
Gao Jingfei and Ruan Bingyang couldn't help but be a little curious when they heard this.
If it's just ghosts and the like, such as ghosts and zombies, they've all seen it, and it's not unusual, but there have long been various rumors about water monsters in the real world, what Loch Ness monsters, Poyang Lake monsters, Tianchi water monsters, and other news are true or false, because the underwater world has always been an area that humans have not fully understood and conquered, so these unsolved mysteries have not been completely solved even in the modern new century of scientific development.
Secretary Zhang pointed to the map and continued:
"Such a situation has seriously affected the circulation of materials and personnel in the northwest region and the Central Plains, and more important than the Yellow River waterway connecting the northwest and the Central Plains is Zheng County, which is the center of the Jinghan Railway, and everyone must know the situation of this railway, for the current Xia Kingdom, it is no less important than the North-South Canal for the former Ming Dynasty, and the Yellow River Bridge across the Yellow River of the Jinghan Railway is precisely in this position, which belongs to the intersection of the north and south of my Middle Earth, this is the absolute heartland!"
In the second year of the Republic of China, the national government unified the government of the previous dynasty and the Zhili Hall, Zhili Prefecture, Santing Hall, and Sanzhou Governance Office into counties, so Zhengzhou Zhili Prefecture became Zheng County, and Chen Xudao was changed to Yudong Road.
Therefore, Secretary Zhang is talking about Zheng County, which is not the provincial capital of Zhengzhou in later generations, but it is already one of the most prosperous prefectures and counties in the Central Plains.
Then Secretary Zhang looked at the Taoist Songhe who came with him and said:
"For the specific situation, please introduce it to you, after all, there are legendary ghosts and monsters involved!"
Seeing the eyes of the others turning to him, the Songhe Dao Chief, who was not tall but very tall, stepped forward and said:
"Master Gao, fellow Daoists of the Taiyi Mixed Yuan Sect, what Secretary Zhang said about ghosts and water monsters is indeed true."
"You must know that the Yellow River has a lot of strange things since ancient times, in ancient times there was still a water god Hebo governance, but I don't know when the Shinto declined, the ancient gods have disappeared without a trace, the Yellow River is more and more silted up year by year, often flooding, originally just the name of the 'river' of this big river gradually has the name of the Yellow River."
"This strange thing is based on the fact that I gathered several top seniors from the north and south sects to research, and the weirdness of a section of Luoyang comes from a legend called the Yellow River Coffin, but this strange coffin is haunting, and the Yellow River is fast and deep, so even a few seniors have not been able to catch each other's shadows, only a few ethereal legends."
"And the rainstorms and water monsters in the past two years have been confirmed, in fact, they originated from a walking Jiao that a water spirit wants to turn into a Jiao!"
"Walking Jiao?"
Ruan Bingyang frowned, confirmed again and asked.
Although he is also from the Xuanmen, he is inevitably a little suspicious of this phenomenon, which has become a legend in modern times and has not appeared for at least hundreds of thousands of years.
As for the other two squadron leaders, they are all from the army, and they are very unfamiliar with this word, which does not appear much in folklore.
Only Qin Xirong, who was also born in the folk wizard inheritance and had been a police detective at the grassroots level for several years before being transferred to the Special Affairs Bureau, knew something about this legend, but he was also a little skeptical about the authenticity like Ruan Bingyang.
On the contrary, Gao Jingfei, a halfway monk in the Xuanmen, didn't think it was impossible for this, after all, even the ghost fairy and the autopsy immortal appeared in this world one after another, and he also feathered and flew away in front of him, and then there was a monster or something, it seems completely reasonable, right?
Songhe Daoist nodded solemnly:
"That's right, it's a Jiao, the catastrophe of heaven and earth was foreshadowed as early as the pre-Song Dynasty, and since then, the aura of time has weakened sharply, and spiritual objects have gradually become scarce, so the existence of a refined demon has become rare, and that beast may be the last aquatic monster that can be transformed into a Jiao in thousands of years."
"Only by walking Jiao can bring about the kind of huge rainstorm that affects the two state capital areas, and each sent a few seniors to personally investigate the Yellow River in June last year, and found the traces of this beast."
Gao Jingfei asked:
"Are you sure it's a dragon?"
Matsuru replied:
"According to what several seniors have seen, this beast should be a catfish like a catfish, and his body already has the shape of a Jiao, and his realm is no less than that of my Yin God, but it seems to have been polluted by some evil evil, and he has lost his mind and is almost crazy!"
Gao Jingfei listened to it and said with some pity:
"Since it's already polluted, it really should be removed!" Anyway, he originally planned to accept a dragon as a Zhenshan Divine Beast and pull a cart, but he didn't expect it to be a catfish into a spirit, so he immediately refused in his heart.
Daoist Songhe didn't know Gao Jingfei's thoughts, and he said in a heavy tone:
"The heavy rain of the previous year caused the Yellow River to flood, causing a lot of losses, that is, this material wants to hit the Yellow River Bridge and the fish jumps over the dragon gate, breaks through this barrier, and finally turns into a dragon and returns to the sea."
"It stands to reason that although this is not its original intention, but by nature, but the trip to Jiao will bring a catastrophic flood that has not been encountered in a hundred years, so that the lower reaches of the river are flooded, and it is even very likely that the Yellow River, a hanging river on the ground, will be diverted again.
"This is undoubtedly a catastrophe for hundreds of millions of lives downstream, and it is even more detrimental to my humanity!"
"The last time it was the Yellow River Bridge was established, there was a dragon sword, because of the blessing of the court's luck and the faith of the people, it resisted the first impact of this beast, so that it returned in vain, but the dragon sword itself was only cast by mortal iron, I am afraid that it could not withstand the second impact, so the sword fairy from the Emei faction among several predecessors in the past year took out the sword and slashed the beast, and hung the flying sword that he had sacrificed for decades to serve as a dragon sword, resisting the second impact of the Jiaojiao!"
"But now it's the third year, presumably that beast has healed his injuries, and will start to impact the Yellow River Bridge for the third time, and Emei's senior sword immortal has no second sword power, and the methods of the other seniors have gone fifty percent in the water, and there is no way to help that beast."
"Therefore, I heard that Master Gao is in the southwest to eliminate demons and defend the road, expose the conspiracy of foreign religions, and have the prestige of immortals, the president and several seniors specially sent me to ask Master Gao to help!"
"Obviously, I don't dare to be, it's just that the people are raising love, but I have some interest in this dragon, even if I can't kill it, I have the confidence to stop it, but I still need to discuss it with the doormen!"
Hearing this, Songhe and the others were immediately surprised.
"That's great!"
"Master Gao, please take it, let's wait!"
Song He and Secretary Zhang didn't expect that this high head would have such great confidence, and the people of Middle-earth have always liked to speak modestly, since they said so, they must have the confidence and means that are not inferior to that of the Emei Sword Immortal heir, which is definitely good news for them.
Even if the rumored immortal power was bragging, Songhe also understood that this high-ranking master was definitely a monk who was at least one realm higher than himself, and he must have more help for the demon eradication plan than three or five innate fellow Daoists combined.
This can be proved by both Mao Jiufang and the Shangqing faction who left before, and although he can't see through the details of the other party, he also has the kind of pressure to face Gao Jingfei's predecessors, so it can basically be confirmed that this is not the kind of straw bag liar who is swaggering.
Gao Jingfei did not answer the two immediately, but looked at Ruan Bingyang and the others and communicated with them at the spiritual level.
