He had heard of the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau. It was said that they had presided over the construction of several popular online tourist attractions. But no matter how you looked at it, it had nothing to do with the Chengdu Security Zone!
Besides, what results can they get from the investigation?

"Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau? What kind of department is this? Who asked them to investigate the cause of the rainstorm? This is the Rongcheng warning area, not a place where you can joke around. Ask them to leave immediately!"

Yang Chen was already upset, and after hearing what Zhao Haijiang said, his expression instantly became very ugly. He rubbed his eyebrows while speaking to Zhao Haijiang.

In response to Yang Chen's reaction, Zhao Haijiang had an "I understand" expression on his face, and said, "However, the status of the comrades from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau is quite special. They do have the right to ask us to fully cooperate with their work!"

This is the main point Zhao Haijiang wants to make.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to find Yang Chen in person.

"What do you mean?"

Yang Chen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. They had the authority to require their security zone to cooperate with the operation. Could it be that this Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau was a special department of the superiors?

"I'm not sure, but the documents are fine!"

Zhao Haijiang spread his hands, looking helpless.

"I've asked someone to bring the comrades from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau here. If you have any questions, just talk to them directly. I still have to keep an eye on the riverbank. If there's any news, we'll contact each other!"

After saying this, Zhao Haijiang walked out almost immediately, not giving Yang Chen any chance to ask any more questions.

Yang Chen: ...

It’s really speechless!

-

This side of the Western Security Zone.

Wei Guangjian had just received a document issued by his superiors, which was personally stamped by the supervisor.

"The Jiumen Fengshui Bureau is a department under the superior, independent of all other departments. Even the General Security Department must fully cooperate with the comrades of the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau when they perform their tasks!"

Looking at this document, Wei Guangjian didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although he still didn't quite understand what the Nine-Gate Feng Shui Bureau was for, Wei Guangjian still forwarded the document.

Yang Chen was still pacing back and forth anxiously in the office when he heard the "beep" sound from the computer on the desk. This was the sound of receiving a file.

The document sent by Commander Wei of the security zone?

Could it be that there are new instructions from the warning zone regarding the heavy rain in the Xichuan area?

Yang Chen clicked on the file and saw the words "Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau" at a glance.

Just now Zhao Haijiang mentioned that the people from Jiumen Fengshui Bureau had arrived, and now Commander Wei has issued a notice concerning the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau.

Is this really just a coincidence?

Yang Chen was puzzled, so he picked up the phone and called the alert area command center.

"Commander Wei, do you know anything about the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau?"

Yang Chen cautiously probed. After all, this was a department that could make the supervisor personally issue a notice, and even the General Security Department had to compromise and cooperate with the action.

"Did someone from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau go to your place?"

I have to say that Wei Guangjian's reaction was quite fast. This document had just been sent out, and there was no movement in other alert areas, but Yang Chen's reaction was so big that Wei Guangjian guessed the key without much thought.

"Instructor Zhao just came to tell me that comrades from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau have arrived. They said they want to investigate the specific cause of the heavy rain in the Xichuan area, and they also hope that our warning area will assist and cooperate with their actions..."

Facing Wei Guangjian's questioning, Yang Chen had nothing to hide.

In his opinion, the heavy rain was a meteorological problem. He really didn't understand what was there to investigate specifically, and why a special department directly under the superior was sent to investigate?

Many questions also popped up in Wei Guangjian's mind.

He also didn't quite understand why people from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau would go to Rongcheng.

"No matter what, fully cooperate with their actions!"

The tasks performed by special departments are all confidential. In Wei Guangjian's opinion, the comrades from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau are definitely not investigating as simple as the cause of the rainstorm. This is just a superficial excuse.

With Wei Guangjian's words, plus that clear document, Yang Chen also knew what he should do.

While he was talking to Wei Guangjian, Taoist Qingfeng and Wang Ye were following the guards towards the headquarters.

“Knock, knock, knock—” There was a knock on the door, and Yang Chen looked towards the door.

I saw two people in green Taoist costumes following the guard and standing at the door.

So, is this the person from the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau?
They really look a bit like two charlatans!
"Comrades, why did you two come to the Rongcheng Security Zone?"

Although Zhao Haijiang had already told them the purpose of their visit, Yang Chen still asked again.

"Hello, Commander Yang. I am Taoist Qingfeng, the head of the Imperial Observatory under the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau. This is Wang Ye, the head of the Mountain and Sea Geology Institute. Due to the continuous and frequent heavy rains in Xichuan, we have been ordered by the Bureau Chief to come to Xichuan to investigate the cause of the heavy rains..."

Taoist Qingfeng spoke first, introduced himself, pointed to Wang Ye beside him, and explained their purpose.

"Isn't this continuous heavy rain a weather problem?"

Yang Chen couldn't help it after all, and asked one more question.

"In all these years, Xichuan has never seen such a long period of continuous heavy rain, and the weather has not cleared up. Jiangyan Water Conservancy Project is well-known, and it shouldn't have such heavy rain. But now these conditions have actually occurred, there must be a reason. We plan to go to the water diversion mouth of Jiangyan, and I hope Commander Yang can help arrange a person who is very familiar with Xichuan and Jiangyan to be a guide to take us there."

Facing Yang Chen's doubts, Taoist Qingfeng shook his head, and then spoke slowly.

In fact, he knew in his heart that even if he explained it, Yang Chen might not believe it. For many things, they would only believe it when the truth came out.

"I see. I'll arrange for someone to take you there right away. The commander of the Fourth Regiment, Gao Yuanda, is currently in Jiangyan City participating in the rescue operation. He was born and raised in Jiangyan, so it's perfect for him to accompany you. If you have anything to do, just tell him to do it."

Yang Chen thought for a moment and thought of a suitable candidate. Regardless of Gao Yuanda's identity or status, it would be much easier for him to act by following the people of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau.

Zhao Haijiang was going to Jiangyan in person, so they could go together. "Since Commander Yang has arranged this, we won't be polite. Before we find out the cause of the heavy rain in Xichuan, I'm afraid the rain will continue. Commander Yang, thank you for your hard work!"

At present, the affected area of ​​the entire Xichuan region is still expanding. Chengdu has a superior geographical location, which, to some extent, is also due to the Jiangyan Water Conservancy Project. Now Jiangyan City has been flooded once, and if it happens again, Chengdu will not be spared.

Taoist Qingfeng knew that the time left for him and Wang Ye was very tight. If one of them was not handled properly, the entire Xichuan region might have to struggle in the heavy rain.

Zhao Haijiang has already learned that Taoist Qingfeng and Wang Ye will go to Jiangyan with him.

He also saw the document sent by Yang Chen, and because of this, he was even more confused. After all, the cases handled by the special department should be confidential, right? Maybe what Taoist Qingfeng and the others said was just a superficial explanation.

It has to be said that on this point, Zhao Haijiang and Yang Chen's ideas coincide.

Gao Yuanda hadn't slept for a day and a night. After arriving in Jiangyan City, he had been busy all the time. Due to the continuous heavy rain, the rescue work for the people was progressing very slowly. Even if so many people were sent to the warning area, it would be difficult to speed up the rescue.

In such extreme weather conditions, air operations were also extremely inconvenient. The airdropped supplies were soaked by heavy rain and deviated from the original designated location.

With blurred vision, everyone was trying their best to participate in the rescue operation. However, the many difficulties in reality kept tripping them up.

When Zhao Haijiang arrived, the rainstorm had just subsided, and the entire Jiangyan City was in a mess. The mud and sand brought by the rainstorm accumulated in the city, and small streams of water rushed in from time to time, making it difficult to walk.

The temporary tent was now the emergency management command center. When Gao Yuanda learned that Zhao Haijiang had arrived, he hurried over.

"Commander Gao, these two are comrades from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau. From now on, you will stay with them and fully cooperate with all their actions!"

As soon as he saw Gao Yuanda, Zhao Haijiang pointed at Taoist Qingfeng and Wang Ye and gave Gao Yuanda orders seriously.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Gao Yuanda was full of questions. Now was the critical moment of rescue, but the instructor asked him to accompany these two people who looked like Taoist priests. This was really strange!

However, their duty was to obey orders. So, even though he was reluctant to accept the order, Gao Yuanda still accepted the task and promised to complete it.

In his opinion, it was just a matter of protecting two people, which was much easier than a rescue mission.

"Trouble you, Commander Gao!"

Taoist Qingfeng said to Gao Yuanda.

Afterwards, Gao Yuanda drove the car and took everyone towards the diversion mouth that had just been washed away by the heavy rain.

"Commander Gao, I heard that you were born and raised in Jiangyan. I guess you are very familiar with Jiangyan, right?

According to the situation in previous years, although it rains in this season, it is only a drizzle, and there has never been a continuous heavy rain. I wonder if there are any abnormalities in other parts of the Jiangyan Water Conservancy Project before the heavy rain comes?

Or, is there anything different from previous years? "

Wang Ye asked seemingly casually, but his tone was very serious.

"Comrade Wang Ye, what do you mean by this?"

Gao Yuanda didn't quite understand. Wasn't a heavy rain cloud the cause of the rainstorm? He really didn't understand what kind of answers Wang Ye wanted to get from him by asking these questions.

"I heard that a water-controlling beast was dug up this year. Is that true?"

Wang did not hesitate at all and directly asked about the information he had learned from the Internet.

With a "swish", a sudden brake sound was heard and everyone in the car fell forward uncontrollably.

Gao Yuanda turned his head and looked at Wang Ye in surprise. Seeing that Taoist Qingfeng was also staring at him with shining eyes, he knew that the focus of these two people was not on the heavy rain in Jiangyan City, but on the water-controlling beast.

For ordinary people, the so-called water-controlling beasts are nothing more than unrealistic legends and feudal superstitions. Therefore, no one believes that there is really a water-controlling beast buried under the Jiangyan water conservancy project.

In fact, this would not be a big deal if the heavy rain had not occurred in the Xichuan area.

Gao Yuanda grew up in Jiangyan and knows the Jiangyan water conservancy project best. In particular, the stories about Li Bing and his son who built Jiangyan and what they did here have been passed down from generation to generation by the elders.

Gao Yuanda believes in things that others don’t believe in.

But he is a soldier after all, and all he has to do is follow orders, not believe in rumors, not spread rumors, and not believe in feudal superstitions.

“Since you two comrades have such questions, you must have learned a lot about the water-controlling beast from the Internet.

The situation in Xichuan was no different from previous years. The only difference was that at the beginning of the year, a stone beast was excavated near Tianfu Square.

According to legend, the Jiangyan Irrigation Project was built by Li Bing and his son, who personally invited five water-controlling mythical beasts and buried them in different places.

With the water-controlling beast here, Jiangyan will be safe, and the entire Xichuan region will be blessed and prosperous forever!"

Gao Yuanda himself couldn't understand why he said those words in front of Taoist Qingfeng and Wang Ye.

He did not want to explain that he was not promoting feudal superstition, but there were some things that really existed "if you believe it, it exists, if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist."

He believed from the bottom of his heart that the stories he had heard since childhood might actually contain some deep meaning and were not without basis.

If it has no special meaning, why go to so much trouble to find the water-controlling beast and bury it underground?
The entire Xichuan region is known as the "Land of Abundance" and it is thanks to the existence of Jiangyan that it has achieved its current prosperity.

For thousands of years, Jiangyan has remained safe and sound, and there has never been any news of the water-controlling beast being dug out.

Even though the news of the water-controlling beast being dug out was only reported at the beginning of the year, Gao Yuanda couldn't help but connect the two events together.

The people living here have a mysterious belief in Jiangyan. It is the existence of Jiangyan that brings them a happy and healthy life. The legendary water-controlling beast buried underground to protect the stability of Jiangyan is also their unwavering belief.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure!"

Gao Yuanda took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then apologized with an apologetic look on his face.

He did not forget that these two comrades were the people the instructor had personally instructed him to accompany and protect.

What kind of person is worthy of a regiment commander's personal escort and protection? The Nine Gates Fengshui Bureau where Taoist Qingfeng and Wang Ye are located must be a special department of the superior.

"It's okay, Commander Gao. I wonder if you know where the water-controlling beast that was dug out at the beginning of the year is? Can you take me to see it?" (End of this chapter)
