"The Water Dragon King is right there, worshipping in one direction. We guess it might be worshipping the master who built the bridge!"

As the number of tourists continued to increase, the news that there was a Water Dragon King in Xiangyun Village quickly spread on the Internet.

The spread of this news had an astonishing effect. A large number of tourists flocked to Xiangyun Village, making this originally unknown village one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country.

This bridge is also praised by netizens as "the only wooden stacked-beam arch bridge in China."

With the popularity of Xiangyun Village, Wang Fan, who had previously attracted much attention due to his disappearance, also returned here again.

Although the incident was thrilling, it also brought her huge attention, making her the female anchor with the most fans in the company.

Wang Fan was filled with gratitude when he returned to Xiangyun Village this time.

Through the live broadcast camera, she showed her fans the tremendous changes in Xiangyun Village, from its former deserted state to its current bustling crowds.

"Family members, we are now in Xiangyun Village again. We can see that earth-shaking changes have taken place here."

Following Wang Fan's camera, fans in the live broadcast room quickly noticed this change.

They recalled that the last time Wang Fan came here, there were almost no people and vehicles on the road, but now it is bustling with traffic.

"It's so strange, why is Xiangyun Village so popular all of a sudden?"

"It seems to be because of the Three Spirits Bridge. I want to go and see it..."

"Xiaoxiao, please don't disappear again this time!"

Looking at the joking comments in the live broadcast room, Wang Fan covered his mouth and laughed.

"Stop joking, let's go in and see what new changes have taken place in this suddenly popular tourist village."

Following the crowd, Wang Fan came to the bridge. However, before she saw the bridge, she noticed that many people were looking in one direction.

Naturally, she would not miss this lively opportunity and hurried over.

I saw many tourists kneeling on the ground and kowtowing towards the bridge, and the incense burner in front was filled with incense.

There was a villager selling amulets nearby, and Wang Fan recognized him immediately. It was Wu Quan who had been in the ward before.

"Brother Wang, it really is you!"

Seeing an acquaintance, Wang Fan hurried over, and Wu Quan also smiled innocently.

"Girl, you're here too!"

Wang Fan nodded and soon noticed that the amulet in front of Wu Quan was a little special.

Each one is in the shape of a turtle and has the words “Water Dragon King” written on it.

Wang Fan picked one up and looked at it, then asked in confusion: "Brother Wang, what are you selling? And what are these tourists doing?"

Wu Quan explained seriously when he heard this: "Sister, I heard from my wife that this bridge was just built when we were in the hospital. On the day it was completed, the Water Dragon King appeared by the river. At that time, the Water Dragon King was worshipping in one direction. The villagers said that they were worshipping the mysterious master who built the bridge. I don't know how this story got around, and now many people come here specifically to kowtow and pray for peace by the bridge."

Wu Quan lowered his voice and whispered, "I don't fish anymore. Our village has become a tourist village, and there are many businesses we can do. We can open a homestay, a restaurant... It's also good for people like me to sell amulets here."

Wang Fan smiled, but there was some doubt in his eyes.

After saying goodbye to Wu Quan, Wang Fan walked towards Sanling Bridge.

Through Wang Fan's camera, more than 200,000 viewers in the live broadcast room quickly discovered a strange place.

"In addition to the three characters 'Sanling Bridge' on the bridge monument, why is there also the outline of a child?"

"Yes, I have never seen such a bridge monument anywhere else."

"Xiaoxiao, can you ask what's going on with this child's outline?"

After seeing these comments, Wang Fan was also very confused, so he quickly found a villager to ask.

However, what Wang Fan did not expect was that the villagers knew nothing about this.

This makes the pattern even more mysterious.

Wang Fan wanted to go for a walk on the bridge, but there were too many people on the bridge.

Some people were taking pictures, some were enjoying the scenery, and some were admiring the exquisite architectural style.

Wang Fan had no choice but to wait. When she wanted to go somewhere else, she suddenly saw the road leading to the back mountain.

Since Xiangyun Village is so popular now, the village committee simply renovated the back mountain and built an observation deck.

But everyone was attracted by the Sanling Bridge, so there were not many people on the road behind the mountain.

Wang Fan walked towards this side. Since the mountain road had been repaired, it was not difficult to climb the mountain.

Arriving at the top of the mountain, Wang Fan and the audience in the live broadcast room were attracted by the beautiful view of the mountains.

Coming to the guardrail, Wang Fan took out his mobile phone and took pictures downwards.

However, this shot was not a big deal, as someone soon discovered the clue.

"This bridge looks like a scimitar when viewed from above..."

"It's true! And look at that river, if you look from above, doesn't it look like a dragon?!"

Seeing these comments, Wang Fan curiously moved forward, on the one hand to take a clearer picture, and on the other hand she also wanted to see it with her own eyes.

With the reminder from fans in the live broadcast room, Wang Fan quickly noticed this.

The river is indeed like a winding dragon, and the bridge is like a scimitar that cuts right at the head of the dragon.

This made Wang Fan very excited, and he took photos and videos here for a long time.

No one thought much about it, they just thought this was a rare scene, so they recorded the scene and some even posted it online.

As a result, netizens gradually began to comment on the Sanling Bridge online: "From a shallow perspective, it looks like a real dragon leaping into the water, but from a deeper perspective, it looks more like a scimitar slaying a dragon!"

With such a gimmick, Xiangyun Village has become more and more crowded with people coming and going.

Xiangyun Village, which has been developed for many years but has made no progress, has finally ushered in its hot moment.

Although it is the off-season for tourism, it does not affect the fact that Xiangyun Village attracts more and more people to visit...

At the same time, the master who built the bridge has become a mysterious figure that everyone is particularly curious about.

However, after the bustle continued for several days, it suddenly fell into a post-carnival silence.

On this day, the sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds, giving people a feeling of depression.

For the first time ever, there was no trace of tourists in Xiangyun Village. The reason was simple: Lianyun City issued a heavy rain warning last night.

Due to the bad weather, many tourists canceled their trips, while some chose to stay in the village's homestays and wait for the rain to stop before continuing their trip.

Heavy rain is approaching, and Xiangyun Village has lost its former joy and laughter. Every household is busy collecting food and clothes that have been hung out to dry.

"Rumble..."

Dull thunder could be heard from time to time, foreshadowing that heavy rain was about to fall.

Despite this, there are still some people who prefer this kind of weather. They stop by the bridge and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sanling Bridge when no one is around.

"Wow..."

The heavy rain poured down without warning, covering the world in an instant.

The scattered tourists hurriedly turned around and ran towards the B&B, and Wu Quan, who wanted to make more money, hurriedly packed up his stall and prepared to go home.

But the heavy rain had already arrived, and Wu Quan had no choice but to take shelter under the Sanling Bridge, hoping that the rain would subside before returning home. The heavy rain was accompanied by strong winds, and huge waves were raised on the river surface, some of which were about to hit Xiangyun Village.

Wu Quan squatted beside the bridge pillar, looking at the heavy rain outside, silently praying in his heart that the rain would stop soon.

However, he did not notice that a huge wave had suddenly hit the bridge.

"boom!"

Wu Quan only felt a powerful force pushing him out, and he fell off the bridge and was about to fall into the surging river.

At this critical moment, Wu Quan's waving hand was tightly grasped by another hand.

Wu Quan was startled, and before he could react, he felt his body being pulled suddenly.

This pull allowed Wu Quan to grab the guardrail on the bridge again and climb back onto the bridge.

Wu Quan still remembers the touch vividly. He was sure it was a hand. Although it was a little cold, there was no doubt about it.

Wu Quan looked around in confusion, but only saw a child in red clothes flash by.

He hurriedly chased after it, but found that there was no one there, only the bridge piers standing quietly.

As if he had thought of something, Wu Quan walked closer to the bridge pier thoughtfully and observed it carefully.

Soon, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, because he saw the figure of the child behind the three words "Sanling Bridge".

Aren’t red clothes just those red lines?

Wu Quan fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed three times towards the bridge pier, and kept muttering:

"Thank you, Bridge God, for saving my life. Thank you, Bridge God, for saving my life!"

Strangely enough, the heavy rain gradually subsided after Wu Quan stood up.

As if it was just to give Wu Quan a chance to leave...

Wu Quan bowed to the bridge pier again, then picked up the things on the ground and hurried home.

Faintly, he seemed to hear a child's laughter, which flashed by for a moment.

The heavy rain lasted for several days, and finally the clouds and fog dissipated.

A rainbow hangs in the sky, contrasting with the Sanling Bridge on the water, making it look like a fairyland on earth.

Wu Quan's experience has become a legend in the village, and more and more people know about it.

While the villagers were still discussing the truth of the matter, news from surrounding villages came in one after another.

The rainstorm and windstorm were so severe that the surrounding villages were flooded and many crops were destroyed...

This situation is not uncommon in villages.

But strangely, the villagers found that only Xiangyun Village was safe and sound.

Not to mention floods, it is truly amazing that the crops were not flooded after so many days of heavy rain.

As a result, not only the villagers of Xiangyun Village ran to the river to worship, but people from nearby villages also came.

"This is a bridge built by a great man. It is this bridge that blesses our village!"

After the village chief learned about this, he excitedly led the villagers to the river and put a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables on the river again.

Wu Quan and his family placed fruits and candies in front of the bridge monument.

"If that hand hadn't saved me, I would have definitely been buried in the river..."

The villagers gathered around, listened to Wu Quan's story, and paid tribute to the bridge monument.

That night, Wu Quan had a dream in which a child jumped out from the bridge monument.

The child, wearing red clothes, took the offerings and started eating.

After eating and drinking, he disappeared into the bridge monument again.

After waking up, Wu Quan paid more attention to this matter and would go to the bridge to place offerings on the bridge monument almost every day.

Later, Wu Quan simply set up a stall next to the bridge monument.

Whenever someone passed by, he would ask them to pay homage to the bridge monument and tell them the story of how they were saved.

After a heavy rain, people's enthusiasm for Xiangyun Village was not dampened. Instead, more and more miraculous things about Xiangyun Village appeared on the Internet, attracting more people.

The entire Xiangyun Village once became the most popular tourist destination in Lianyun City after the Panshe Channel, and it was unrivaled.

On the Internet, almost all comments are about various speculations about Sanling Bridge.

"Who built this bridge? Why is there no mention of who the main builder is in the document released by the Urban Construction Office?"

"Haven't you heard from the people above? They say a lot of strange things happened after the bridge was built. They say it was built by a mysterious master!"

"Is this true? Are there still masters these days?"

"Who exactly is this person? No one knows about this?"

There was a heated discussion on the Internet, and everyone was curious about the people who built the Sanling Bridge.

In addition, no relevant information could be found from any angle, which aroused the curiosity of the public even more.

……

Finally, the enthusiasm of Xiangyun Village reached the ears of the provincial government.

In the Jiangxi Provincial Government Office Building, Zhang Dou strode into the office of senior official Li Ting.

"Old Li, do you know about Xiangyun Village in Lianyun City? It's completely popular now, and the daily traffic even exceeds most tourist attractions in our province!"

Zhang Dou happily placed a document in front of Li Ting, then unbuttoned his suit and sat opposite Li Ting.

Li Ting is in his fifties and looks energetic in a suit.

With his hair slicked back and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, his imposing presence is hard to be underestimated even if he is just sitting there.

But looking at Zhang Dou at this time, Li Ting laughed:

"Lao Zhang, you are famous for your serious face, why are you so happy today?"

Li Ting and Zhang Dou are both high-ranking officials, so logically there should be a level difference between them.

But they have been friends for many years, and it was Zhang Dou who took the initiative to give up the high-ranking position to Li Ting. Therefore, when there are no outsiders around, they never care so much.

Unlike Li Ting's calm personality, Zhang Dou is straightforward, which naturally does not make him popular in official circles.

Therefore, Zhang Dou knew this very well, and he gave up his high-ranking position to Li Ting many years ago. This suited him and made him feel comfortable.

Hearing Li Ting's joke, Zhang Dou leaned back in his chair and gave a thumbs up:

"I have to say that the Lianyun Municipal Government is really capable. Mayor He Wenlin went to Beijing for a meeting, but Deputy Mayor Chu Yi made remarkable achievements during this period! When the last missing case caused a lot of uproar, he held a press conference in time to restore the government's image."

This time, the construction of Xiangyun Village’s internet-famous bridge was once again undertaken by the Urban Construction Office, which successfully created this popular attraction.

Xiangyun Village has thus become an Internet celebrity village, and the number of daily tourists continues to grow!
Zhang Dou was obviously very happy about this, and even his tone of voice was a little excited.

Li Ting smiled and nodded after hearing this, then asked curiously:

"By the way, the city government hasn't submitted the report on that case yet, right?" (End of this chapter)
