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

The darkness was so cold, how could he refuse the light and warmth?
He resolutely walked towards the sunlight!

"The water-suppressing beast is no longer in Rongcheng, but the torrential rains in the Xichuan region cannot continue. I need your help!"

Xu Yuyi jumped off the bed suddenly, his voice clear and firm.

"Just tell us what you want us to do!"

Master Qingfeng immediately expressed his opinion, but there was still a trace of worry in his eyes when he looked at Xu Yuyi.

He didn't doubt Xu Yuyi's abilities; he just felt sorry for the boy and was afraid he would overwork himself.

"Go to Tianfu Square, the place where the water-suppressing mythical beast was originally unearthed. What I need to do can only be done there!"

As they were talking, Xu Yuyi had already taken the lead and walked out of the lounge.

Master Qingfeng and Wu Xie quickly followed.

The curator, who was most familiar with the exact location, was also brought along by Wu Xie.

For some unknown reason, after the water-suppressing mythical beast was unearthed, although the original site was buried, a small opening remained. Looking into the opening, all one could see was darkness; even if a small stone were thrown in, there would be no echo, as if the opening were bottomless!
If someone were to look down from above, they would see that this dark opening resembles the eye of a demon, silently gazing at the sky.

Due to the torrential rain, Tianfu Square was almost deserted. Gao Yuanda drove there with Xu Yuyi, Daoist Qingfeng, Wang Ye, and the curator.

"The location of this black hole is actually slightly different from where the stone beast was originally unearthed. When this hole was left, it was deliberately moved away from its original position."

Upon reaching the black hole, the curator squinted, carefully discerning the direction, and then earnestly explained.

Who would have thought that someone would actually notice this place?
The surrounding area was blocked off by fences, which actually made things easier for them.

"Black holes are not actually deep; they just contain things that block light, which is why they appear completely black."

As for the actual location, it's been buried; it's right under this tree. "Comrade Wu Xie, are we coming here to move this tree?"

Perhaps because he had told Wu Xie about the strange things about the stone beast, the curator's attitude became much more casual. He pointed to the large tree that had been transplanted from elsewhere, its trunk thicker than a person, and asked in confusion.

The curator genuinely had no idea why Wu Xie and the others had come here.

Regardless of whether the stone beasts in the museum are real or fake, there's nothing left here. What can they possibly find if they come here?

Even so, the curator understood that Wu Xie remained calm and unfazed after he told him those strange things, and even accepted what he said directly. This showed that Wu Xie and his companions were not ordinary people.

It makes sense, really. Since the torrential rains in Sichuan Province, various experts have offered their opinions and suggestions, but none of them have been correct. However, some popular online comments have led netizens to speculate that it's related to the discovery of the stone beast at Tianfu Square.

Xu Yuyi stood in front of the big tree, his face turning pale instantly as if he were thinking of something.

"I'm buried up, and they even planted trees on it. How am I supposed to get down?"

Xu Yuyi's eyes welled up with tears, his face filled with anxiety, but his expression began to show despair.

What he needs to do can only be accomplished by going deep underground, but now, that path seems to be blocked.

Master Qingfeng walked around the big tree twice, covering a distance of about two meters, with his head down, taking one step at a time, and seemingly muttering something under his breath.

"Brother Wu, I have to go down here. Can we move this tree?"

Xu Yuyi looked at Wu Xie with pleading eyes, completely helpless about the current predicament.

"Young man, do you know how much effort it took to move this tree? Digging it up now is not something a few of us can do. Why don't we contact the urban construction department and have them send someone to remove the tree?"

The curator had to admit that after hearing Xu Yuyi's words, all he could say was, "This boy is still too naive!"
In the city, you can't just move a tree away at will.
Without the relevant permits, this tree cannot be moved at all.

Besides, among their group, only Commander Gao Yuanda could contribute anything; the others didn't seem like people capable of physical labor.

The curator wasn't being sarcastic; he was simply stating a fact.

Before Wu Xie could answer, Xu Yuyi heard the curator's words first, and his eyes, which had just lit up, dimmed again.

"Actually, we don't need to dig up the tree. There's a hollow space under this big tree; we can go down from there!"

At this moment, Master Qingfeng walked over slowly, looked at everyone with a solemn expression, and spoke.

"How is this possible?" The curator exclaimed in disbelief.

A large tree is planted here. The black hole that was originally used to deceive ordinary people is just a decoy. How can we enter it without digging this place out?

The curator thought that Master Qingfeng's words were utter nonsense.

Although Gao Yuanda did not deny it directly like the curator, his face was full of surprise, clearly indicating that he also felt that it was impossible to do so.

Only Wu Xie and Xu Yuyi knew that if Master Qingfeng dared to say that, he must be confident.

"What should we do next?" Wu Xie asked directly, knowing that Master Qingfeng might have discovered something.

Master Qingfeng did not respond to the questions from the curator and Wu Xie. Instead, he turned his gaze to Gao Yuanda and instructed, "Commander Gao, please take the curator back to rest. We will wait for you here."

Gao Yuanda frowned. He wasn't stupid; he could naturally understand what Qingfeng Daoist meant. He wanted to get rid of him and the curator so they wouldn't know about the upcoming actions.

He recalled Commander Yang's order to unconditionally cooperate with Master Qingfeng and his group's actions, and to defer to the decisions of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau.

Even though his doubts deepened, Gao Yuanda didn't show them. He simply nodded silently and walked towards the curator.

The curator already harbored many concerns about the stone beast and was reluctant to get too close. Hearing Qingfeng Daoist's arrangement, he was truly relieved. So when Gao Yuanda arrived, the curator readily followed him away.

After only Qingfeng Daoist, Xu Yuyi, and Wu Xie remained, Qingfeng Daoist walked around to the east side of the big tree and stopped less than 1.5 meters away from it. He said to Wu Xie, "Tianzhen, try digging here!"

Wu Xie and Fatty had been to tombs with Zhang Qilin before, which was known to everyone in the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau, so it was the perfect choice to have him do this job.

Wu Xie took out a Luoyang shovel from his backpack, weighed it in his hand, and then dug in the direction that Master Qingfeng had pointed out.

Taking advantage of this moment, Master Qingfeng pulled Xu Yuyi aside.

"I don't know why you insist on going down, but I do know that since the loss of the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast, the only one who can stop this torrential rain in Rongcheng, Xichuan District, is you."

Since the person behind this has chosen to hide this place, they will likely send people or use other methods to monitor the situation here. Once Tianzhen has dug up the area below, you and Tianzhen can go down, and I'll stay up here to protect you.

If there is any danger, innocence will protect you.

My child, it's truly unfair that you have to face all this at such a young age. Don't worry, everything will be alright once this is over.

Even if you really don't want to take on the responsibility of protecting the water-suppressing divine beast anymore, no one will force you.

We will arrange everything for you so that you can return to a normal life!
You've worked so hard this time. I believe you can turn the tide and solve all the problems!

Finally, Master Qingfeng patted Xu Yuyi heavily on the shoulder, his gaze passing over the big tree and looking into the distance.

Xu Yuyi's expression instantly became hesitant, tinged with sadness. He had never thought so much; he only knew that to stop the torrential rain, he had to go underground to the original burial place of the water-suppressing divine beast.

Now that Master Qingfeng has spoken so frankly, Xu Yuyi felt a chill of fear.

If he had come alone, he probably would have been killed before he even found the place.

Just like his parents.

In order to successfully unearth the water-suppressing mythical beast, the first thing those people did was to eliminate Xu Yuyi's parents.

Wu Xie was focused on digging with the Luoyang shovel and did not hear Qingfeng Daoist's earnest instructions to Xu Yuyi.

Not long after, the Luoyang shovel suddenly emptied, revealing a hole just big enough for one person to jump in.

Moreover, judging from the color of the soil around the cave and the marks left on the walls, someone had gone down through this cave entrance not long ago.

"Daoist Master, Xu Yuyi, there's a cave entrance here. Judging by the direction, it should lead to the bottom, and maybe it can lead directly to the burial place of the water-suppressing divine beast!"

Originally, only a water-suppressing divine beast was buried here. After the divine beast was dug out, there should have been nothing left.

"I'll stay outside. You all go down from here, and please be careful."

"Tianzhen, you understand, no matter what happens, we must ensure Xu Yuyi's safety!"

Master Qingfeng led Xu Yuyi to the entrance of the hole dug by Wu Xie and said to Wu Xie.

Some things don't need to be said; people can understand each other implicitly.

Wu Xie and Master Qingfeng had a certain understanding of each other, so as soon as Master Qingfeng said those words, Wu Xie understood what was going on.

He didn't have time to consider the dangers that followed.

"We'll take care of things down there as soon as possible and get back!"

Finally, Wu Xie said solemnly.

Without further delay, Wu Xie led Xu Yuyi straight into the cave entrance.

After the two jumped down, Master Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, took out his phone, and dialed Gao Yuanda's number.

-

Chengdu restricted area.

Yang Chen had just finished a video conference when he received a call from Gao Yuanda.

It hasn't been long since Gao Yuanda left with Qingfeng Daoist and the others, so why is it necessary to send out so many people?

He didn't even understand what the people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau were trying to do.

"Commander, Master Qingfeng has ordered us to send a battalion to Tianfu Square to guard the surrounding area!"

Gao Yuanda was also somewhat confused at this moment. He had just sent the curator back, and the curator was in a daze, walking unsteadily back to the museum.

Just as he was about to rush back to Master Qingfeng's side, he received a call from Master Qingfeng, whose request on the phone stunned him.

Although he was the commander of the Fourth Regiment, he did not dare to directly send a battalion into the city just to surround Tianfu Square without knowing the details of the mission.

Master Qingfeng's requirement was to completely surround Tianfu Square, so that not even a fly could get in!
Even Yang Chen was full of questions when he heard what Gao Yuanda said.

He really couldn't understand what was going on.

"Do as Master Qingfeng requests. You will arrange for people to get to Tianfu Square as quickly as possible!"

After considering the Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation, Yang Chen finally made a decision.

With Yang Chen's order, Gao Yuanda no longer hesitated and immediately transferred a battalion of men over.

As torrential rain poured down, a long procession of green military vehicles set off from the Chengdu restricted area and sped towards Tianfu Square.

Due to the continuous heavy rain, the streets were almost deserted and deserted.

However, the sight of these uniformly arranged military vehicles driving through the torrential rain still attracted people's attention.

On the internet, the tone of news sections about Xichuan District and Chengdu has suddenly changed.

Look, military vehicles are heading towards the city. Could something have happened in Chengdu?

Judging by the number of military vehicles, there must be a whole battalion of soldiers! My goodness, in this torrential rain, they are carrying the burden for us, protecting us in the wind and rain!

[What kind of protection is this? Chengdu hasn't been hit by any disaster yet. If there's any rescue, it shouldn't be in the city center; it should be along the rivers and waterways...]

[There are photos to prove it; these military vehicles were parked in Tianfu Square, but the heavy rain blurred the view, so it was impossible to tell what they were up to.]

[Tianfu Square? Wasn't there a mythical beast believed to suppress floods that was unearthed there? Could it be that disturbing the beast caused this torrential rain in the Xichuan area?]

[What nonsense! Don't spout any superstitious nonsense. They became alert as soon as they got out of the car; there's probably been a major accident. We'd better keep our distance.]

……

These online discussions were taken down shortly after they began.

This matter is related to the restricted area, and in particular, an entire battalion of people were mobilized. No matter the reason, it should not be discussed casually on the internet.

In Chengdu.

It was only then that they learned that the restricted area had deployed personnel to surround the entire Tianfu Square.

Wang Jianbin, the person in charge of the municipal department, quickly contacted the Rongcheng security zone and called Yang Chen's office directly.

"Commander Yang, what's going on with your restricted area? What's the point of making such a commotion at Tianfu Square? Shouldn't you have informed me before taking action, instead of me finding out about this online?"

The alert zone and the authorities are closely monitoring various messages online, which is why they can quickly take action to reduce the heat and suppress the matter after discovering a heated discussion.

After all, they are both in Chengdu, and they often work together with the restricted area to solve problems.

Logically, the restricted area has its reasons for handling matters, and the authorities shouldn't interfere, nor can they. However, Tianfu Square is the center of Chengdu, watched by countless eyes. The consequences of any mishap are something no one can afford.

Wang Jianbin wasn't really criticizing anyone; he mainly wanted to get some information from Yang Chen so that the city would at least know the reason for the operation in the restricted area.

"The Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau is handling a case, and our Rongcheng restricted area must cooperate. Wang, the person in charge directly under the city government, those rumors online might not be entirely unfounded. That unearthed stone beast might really be a water-suppressing divine beast!"
