One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning

Chu Yi faced the camera and answered calmly: "I have said it before, this is to cooperate with Xiangyun Village's tourism development plan."

"Deputy Mayor, why is this bridge called Sanling Bridge? And what about the funeral procession just now?"

Chu Yi's expression changed slightly. He was asked this question as expected. But he didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

At this time, Chen Shi saw Chu Yi's embarrassment and quickly stepped forward to help: "Dear media friends, we were just respecting some customs and culture of the village. There is no need to talk about this matter. Let's change the question."

The village chief who came hurriedly nodded in agreement, indicating that Chen Shi was right.

Fortunately, the reporters and the villagers were separated, otherwise the villagers would wonder when this custom began in their village.

Unlike the reporters, the villagers had already walked onto the bridge curiously, their faces filled with joy.

They found that the bridge was not only beautiful in appearance, but also that the scenery seemed to get better when they stood on it and looked around.

Every detail on the bridge reveals the care that went into its construction and makes people feel calm.

After the interview, the reporters rushed to Sanling Bridge, wanting to take more photos to enrich their reports.

Chu Yi finally managed to escape and came to Lei Shan and Xiang Tian.

Lei Shan looked at Chu Yi and smiled, "Deputy Mayor, I didn't expect Director Huang to leave you another difficult problem."

Chu Yi naturally knew that Leishan referred to the monument-setting ceremony arranged by Huang Miao.

Fortunately, with the cooperation of several people, it did not cause too many questions.

Hearing this, Chu Yi sighed with a wry smile. Just then he saw Huang Miao coming over, so he said, "Director Huang, next time something like this happens, can we get in touch in advance?"

Huang Miao smiled and nodded: "This incident happened suddenly, next time I will definitely inform you in advance."

Although Huang Miao said so, Chu Yi still hoped that there would not be a next time.

Seeing that a large number of people had gathered on the bridge, Xiang Tian looked at Huang Miao and said, "Director Huang, this bridge is very impressive, but what is the secret behind it? Can you tell us about it?"

Huang Miao nodded upon hearing this, and then pointed to the mountain road leading to the back mountain not far away: "If you are interested, follow me up the mountain and you will know."

Lei Shan and others would certainly not refuse, as they came here for this very purpose.

At this time, Wang Ye, Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao also rushed over, and Huang Miao called them to go up the mountain together.

We finally got to the top of the mountain, and it really felt like we were standing on a high place and looking far into the distance.

In addition, the weather was clear today, and Lei Shan and his companions felt as if they could touch the sky with just their hands.

Led by Huang Miao, the group came to the edge of the cliff again and looked down.

It didn't matter what they saw, Lei Shan, Xiang Tian and Chu Yi all widened their eyes.

Only then did they clearly see that the canal below, viewed from above, did indeed look like a long winding dragon in its course and shape.

The appearance of this bridge is like a scimitar, cutting right on the neck of the dragon's head formed by the water area.

Amid the shock, Huang Miao's voice came calmly: "The dragon head has been cut off, and there will be no more dragon traps here. At the same time, this bridge is both a curved knife and a flying dragon. Cutting the dragon vein here also returns another dragon vein. In this way, Xiangyun Village will vigorously develop tourism. Soon, you will be able to see the changes in Xiangyun Village. Feng Shui changes, and the fortune changes accordingly. Xiangyun Village, which was originally in a dark dilemma, has now seen the light of day again, and the mountains and rivers in this area can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Several people were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that the Sanling Bridge built by Huang Miao in seven days would look so real from this height like a water dragon with its head cut off. They couldn't take their eyes off it for a long time.

Afterwards, Chu Yi and the other two went down the mountain in astonishment, while Huang Miao, Wang Ye and the other two stood on the mountain overlooking the entire water area.

As the deputy mayor, Chu Yi could not stay here for long, so he and Lei Shan and Xiang Tian had to go down the mountain first.

At this time, an hour had passed since the completion ceremony.

When the three of them went down the mountain, they found that the reporters had already left.

For the journalists, they have already got the news they need, and now it’s just a matter of speed.

Whoever reports it first will naturally get more traffic.

Therefore, the group of journalists always come and go in a hurry.

But it’s better this way. Whether it’s Chu Yi, Lei Shan or Xiang Tian, ​​they can all relax a little.

At this time, Chen Shi was directing the workers to remove the equipment. The project here was finished, and they still needed to go to other urban construction projects.

Apart from the workers, only some villagers were left lingering on Sanling Bridge.

The villagers who were initially against building the bridge were also changed their minds by the spectacular Sanling Bridge.

However, at this moment, someone on the bridge shouted, "Look! What is that?!"

This voice not only attracted the attention of the villagers, but also aroused the curiosity of some workers.

I saw a ray of sunlight shining on the river surface right in front of Sanling Bridge, and the beam of light remained frozen for a long time without dissipating.

This scene aroused the curiosity of many villagers, and they all came over.

The workers also put down their work and watched curiously.

In the beams of sunlight, ripples gradually appeared on the surface of the river.

The ripples grew bigger and bigger, and finally a huge object protruded from the water.

The villagers were shocked and stepped back in fear.

However, when they saw what appeared in the water, their eyes widened.

"what is that?"

"Go and have a look!"

There was some commotion among the workers, and many of them quickly ran towards the river.

Wang Lei, who was directing the battle, was puzzled and ran over as well.

However, soon, Wang Lei's eyes widened.

In his sight, an old turtle more than one meter tall emerged from the river.

The old turtle's shell is like a small hill, and the gray-brown shell is covered with green water plants. The old turtle slowly poked its head out of the water, looking towards the shore with a pair of spiritual eyes.

When its gaze swept across the crowd, the villagers who were looked at by these eyes suddenly felt as if their whole bodies became lighter.

The old turtle slowly approached the shore. Although its movements were slow, due to its huge size, each step it took covered several meters.

The old turtle slowly stepped onto the solid ground, carrying a breath of moisture. Wherever its footsteps reached, the grass seemed to be given new life. Then, it staggered forward, step by step, towards the Sanling Bridge.

Everyone was surprised to find that after the old turtle got on the bridge, he seemed to be looking for something among the crowd.

Finally, its eyes locked on the mountain not far away, and then it slightly bent its front legs and made a kneeling gesture.

Amid everyone's astonishment, the old turtle knelt devoutly on the bridge, with his head lowered towards the back mountain.

Its eyes are clear and pure, revealing a bit of respect.

Instantly, the workers and villagers followed suit, kneeling and kowtowing, chanting excitedly: "It's the Water Dragon King, the Water Dragon King has appeared!"

Chu Yi and the other two, who had just come down from the mountain, were immediately attracted by the movement here.

They looked toward the river and immediately saw the golden light in the water and the giant turtle.

The three of them looked at each other, then ran towards the river in astonishment.

When they arrived at the river and faced this huge creature, the three men could hardly believe their eyes.

Lei Shan looked in the direction the old turtle was worshipping, and suddenly he understood: "This old turtle seems to be worshipping in the direction of the back mountain. Isn't Director Huang... on the back mountain now?"

At the same time, Zhang Lingyu on the top of the mountain pointed excitedly and said, "Director, what is that? Is it a giant turtle?" Feng Baobao was also shocked, with disbelief written all over her face. However, Huang Miao did not seem surprised.

He stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the giant turtle that had been worshipping this side in the pillar of light formed by the sunlight below the mountain, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then, Huang Miao slowly stretched out his hands, clasped them together in front of his chest, and bowed slightly in the direction of the old turtle.

What’s strange is that after this, the giant turtle slowly turned around and crawled towards the water.

As the giant turtle left, the light column gradually dimmed and finally disappeared into the river along with the giant turtle.

Huang Miao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at this scene, and said softly: "Put yourself in pain, think of sentient beings in the evil realms, and have great compassion... It seems that this water dragon king is also troubled by the dragon trap and cannot find peace. Today he has finally been freed and can protect this land again..."

Zhang Lingyu and others looked at Huang Miao in surprise and were speechless for a long time.

This kind of scene was rarely seen in their lives, but they did not expect to see the old turtle in the river bowing its head in worship on the back mountain today, and the person who was worshipping was none other than their director Huang Miao.

Meanwhile, down the mountain, even though the old turtle had disappeared, the villagers were still excitedly kowtowed to the river. The workers were talking about it, and Chu Yi and others also came over in amazement.

They witnessed with their own eyes the old turtle worshipping towards the back mountain, and then watched with their own eyes the old turtle disappear into the river. They were so shocked that they could not recover for a long time.

After a while, the villagers finally stood up and excitedly discussed the situation on the river.

Lei Shan stopped an old man and asked in confusion, "Old man, why did you kneel down so excitedly just now?"

The old man said in a trembling voice: "That old turtle is the Water Dragon King... There is a Sea Dragon King in the sea, a Water Dragon King in the river, and a Well Dragon King in the well. Our village has been passed down from generation to generation, and we have the Water Dragon King to protect us."

Lei Shan looked puzzled, looking in the direction where the old turtle disappeared in disbelief: "But this is clearly an old turtle, why is it called the Water Dragon King?"

The villagers were so excited that they could hardly speak clearly: "There is a portrait of the Water Dragon King in our village. This is the Water Dragon King of our river. When my grandfather's grandfather was alive, there was a sudden flood and the old turtle showed up to save the whole village. He drew this portrait to tell future generations that the Dragon King lives in our river and should be worshipped from generation to generation! So until now, the Water Dragon King is still enshrined in the ancestral hall of our village. I didn't expect that the completion of this bridge today would actually attract the Water Dragon King to show up."

Lei Shan pondered over the villagers' words, but he did not fully understand their meaning.

The so-called Dragon King is not really the dragon in the legend. Mountains and rivers have spirits, and all things have roots. All things with spirits can become the guardian spirits of a place.

And this old turtle is obviously the spirit of the river, but the villagers gave it the name of Water Dragon King.

With the title bestowed upon him and the fact that the old turtle had indeed practiced Taoism for many years, he naturally became the Water Dragon King of this river.

At this time, other villagers also came over excitedly and asked: "Leader, are you from the government? Can I ask who built this bridge? This person must be extraordinary to attract the Water Dragon King to appear!"

"The Water Dragon King has appeared. We must hurry and prepare the offerings. Over the years, the children in the village have forgotten the tradition of the Dragon King Festival. The Water Dragon King has appeared today to tell us that the annual Dragon King Festival must not be missed!"

The villagers were discussing the matter one after another, all looking excited.

Lei Shan looked at the people around him in confusion and found that even the workers were discussing this matter.

"It must be this bridge that attracted the old turtle. Didn't the villagers say it was the Water Dragon King?"

"I've long said that this bridge was built in a special way, and now it's proven true. Even if such a big old turtle is not the Water Dragon King, it must have become a spirit long ago!"

"Don't talk nonsense, or the villagers will hear you. But who exactly is Director Huang? It's really strange that the bridge he directed to build could bring about such a strange sight..."

Their ears were filled with various sounds. Lei Shan, Xiang Tian, ​​Chu Yi and even Chen Shi stood there in a daze. Their eyes looking at the river surface became more and more complicated.

The villagers were extremely excited, and they brought out offerings from their homes and worshiped devoutly by the river. Their chanting voices echoed in the ears of Lei Shan and others, making them unable to recover for a long time.

Originally, Lei Shan and Xiang Tian thought they had enough knowledge about Huang Miao and the Core Bureau. However, what happened before them made them realize that their previous understanding was just superficial.

Soon, Huang Miao led his team members down from the mountain. His expression was as calm as water, as if nothing had happened just now.

Seeing Huang Miao and the others, Lei Shan and the other two went to meet them. Chu Yi asked in surprise: "Director Huang, did you see the old turtle appear in the water just now?"

Huang Miao nodded, turned his gaze to the villagers who were still worshipping by the river, and said slowly: "I see. All things have spirits. The completion of this bridge has broken the dragon trap, which can be considered a merit. The Water Dragon King came to thank us."

Lei Shan frowned. He noticed that Huang Miao was not surprised by the appearance of the old turtle and the villagers' worship.

Although he felt emotional, Lei Shan did not show any surprise, which made him even more curious about Huang Miao.

However, Huang Miao did not seem to intend to stay long.

He waved to the three of them and said, "Director Lei, Deputy Director Qi, Deputy Mayor, we have to go back first. Please take care of the things I mentioned before and help us handle them as soon as possible."

After saying that, Huang Miao took a few people away.

Chu Yi looked at Lei Shan and Xiang Tian with some confusion and asked, "What is Director Huang talking about? How come I don't know?"

Xiang Tian pushed up his glasses and explained, "Deputy Mayor, you hadn't come to the Core Bureau at that time. Director Huang meant that we should hurry up and get them exclusive certificates. It just so happens that the Core Bureau belongs to the government system, so please help with the process." (End of this chapter)
