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

Huang Miao tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, lost in thought.

He believed that not many people knew that Jiang Yan had buried five water-suppressing beasts instead of one. Although this account was blank, all the comments posted were related to the water-suppressing beasts. Huang Miao suspected that the other party was likely from one of the other four families besides the Xu family, but for some reason, they could not reveal the truth.

The other party kept mentioning the water-suppressing mythical beast online, seemingly trying to attract attention.

The person Huang Miao contacted on the phone earlier didn't keep him waiting for long.

While Huang Miao was still waiting, the phone rang first.

"Boss, I've sent you the information you requested. Please check your inbox!"

As the person in charge of Huangmiao Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau, let alone just needing all the information behind an account, even if he needed information on many other people online, the technical staff would do their best to help him solve the problem.

Huang Miao glanced at the message and saw that he had indeed received one. He casually opened it.

That's how the name Hu Jiu'er came to Huang Miao's attention.

The technicians were able to find quite a lot of information about Hu Jiu'er.

She is from the Hu family in Northeast China.

So, why would the Hu family pay attention to the water-suppressing mythical beast in the Xichuan region?

It should be noted that shamans from Northeast China do not cross the Shanhaiguan Pass. As a shaman disciple of the Hu family, Hu Jiu'er should normally spend her entire life in Northeast China.

Not enough among these numerous shamans.

The Ma family is the only true authority over the five shamanic practitioners.

Unfortunately, after the Ma family fell from grace, the five shamans and five families belonging to the Ma family's branch went their separate ways.

In Huang Miao's memory, Hu Jiu'er was the head of the Hu family in this generation.

From a business perspective, Hu Jiu'er could not possibly leave Northeast China; from a personal perspective, the Hu family and the Xichuan region have no connection whatsoever. So why would Hu Jiu'er send out these messages about the water-suppressing mythical beasts online?
On the other end of the network, Hu Jiu'er was unaware that someone had already noticed her. Beside her were three small paper figures, each perched on a mobile phone, typing away rapidly.

After glancing at the news about Xichuan District and Guanxian County, Hu Jiu'er was surprised to find that the popularity was declining again, and several of her accounts had been banned, leaving only one main account still active.

The paper figure had no thoughts and no idea what had happened; it only knew that it could no longer continue its work.

With a wave of her hand, Hu Jiu'er put the paper figure away.

For no reason at all, who would notice a small account like mine?

"Hu Jiu'er, what do you know about the water-suppressing divine beast?"

Before Hu Jiu'er could do anything, a private message suddenly popped up in her account, and the other party immediately called out her real name.

Hu Jiu'er stared at the private messages in her account for a long time, but did not rush to reply. She just stared at the screen quietly, seemingly lost in thought.

……

"?"

Perhaps the person on the other end of the network was getting impatient, and seeing no response on the screen, sent another question mark.

"who are you?"

After pondering for a few seconds, Hu Jiu'er began typing a reply.

"Perhaps you could visit the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau, and we can discuss this in person!"

This time, the person on the other end of the screen reacted quickly; as soon as Hu Jiu'er sent the message, the reply came.

"The Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation?"

Hu Jiu'er kept repeating the name, feeling as if she had seen or heard it somewhere before.

After much deliberation, she opened her browser and typed in the words "Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation".

There isn't much information about the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau online. All that's known is that it's a department in Jiangxi Province and has built several popular tourist attractions.

There are many photos of these popular photo spots online. Looking at these photos, Hu Jiu'er couldn't quite describe her feelings, but she just had a strange feeling that this place seemed to be something special.

Laymen see only the spectacle, but experts can discern the underlying principles. Although Hu Jiu'er didn't have in-depth knowledge of feng shui, some principles are universal, and she could still see some clues.

So why would this Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation focus on the water-suppressing mythical beast of the Xichuan region?

"The Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau is a department of Jiang Province. Why are you asking me about the water-suppressing mythical beast of the Xichuan region?"

Hu Jiu'er finally typed out the message and waited for the other party's reply.

It was only then that she belatedly realized that while others might find it difficult to quickly access her detailed information online, it was perfectly normal for her information to be known by official authorities.

So, is the person behind the scenes really from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau?
What is the purpose of this person contacting me?
"Something has happened to the family that guards the water-suppressing divine beast!"

Soon, a message appeared in front of Hu Jiu'er's eyes.

She kept rubbing her palms together, feeling a sudden unease and a strange sense of panic.

Just then, the phone rang in the quiet room, almost startling Hu Jiu'er so much that she jumped off her chair.

She stared intently at the phone, vaguely guessing who was on the other end.

Since I didn't reply to the message, the people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau simply called me directly.

Regardless of how they learned about the water-suppressing divine beast protecting the family, it seems there's no way I can avoid this matter.

Hu Jiu'er took a deep breath before picking up the phone and pressing the answer button.

"Hey?"

"Hu Jiu'er, I am Huang Miao from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. I would like to know what Miss Hu knows about the water-suppressing mythical beast of Jiangyan?"

The voice on the other end of the phone, even through the receiver, exuded authority. The speaker paused, then continued, "After all, the Five Immortals of Northeast China never leave the Shanhaiguan Pass, and as a disciple of the shamanic tradition, Miss Hu seems to have never left the Northeast!"

If Hu Jiu'er hadn't paid much attention when the other party mentioned the water-suppressing beast of the Xichuan region, or even the guardian of the family, her expression instantly turned serious when the other party directly revealed his identity as a disciple of the shaman, and she sat up straight.

She understood that since the person on the other end of the phone knew her identity as a shamanic disciple and even knew that the Five Immortals of Northeast China did not leave Shanhaiguan, they had obviously taken the initiative.

"I understand. I'll head to Lianyungang City right away!"

Now that things have come to this, Hu Jiu'er has no other choice.

"I'll be waiting for Miss Hu in Lianyungang!"

The person on the other end of the phone wasn't surprised by Hu Jiu'er's decision; they simply smiled and said that before hanging up.

The moment the call ended, Hu Jiu'er deflated like a punctured balloon, barely able to move, and slumped into her chair.

She was panting heavily, her back soaked with cold sweat, and even the phone slipped to the ground with a dull thud.

After an unknown amount of time, Hu Jiu'er finally regained some of her strength, slowly stood up, and walked into a secluded room deep inside the room. If anyone could see her, they would notice that incense smoke curled up in this room, and beneath a red cloth was a fox statue.

Hu Jiu'er respectfully picked up three sandalwood sticks from the incense table, lit them in the incense burner, bowed three times in succession, and then inserted the sandalwood sticks into the incense burner.

……

Lianyungang City, Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation.

Huang Miao ended his call with Hu Jiu'er.

"The Five Immortals family that Hu Jiu'er belongs to should be related to Feng Baobao, right?"

Zhang Qilin sat on the sofa, having heard Huang Miao's phone call clearly. A blurry image suddenly flashed through his mind, but when he tried to recall it carefully, it was all blank.

He simply stopped thinking about it and looked at Huang Miao, waiting for his answer.

"The so-called Five Immortals of Northeast China used to belong to the Ma family. Unfortunately, the Ma family declined, and the five immortals dispersed and formed their own factions."

Logically speaking, Hu Jiu'er shouldn't be involved with the Xichuan region. Once she arrives, we should be able to figure out what's really going on!

Huang Miao explained earnestly to Zhang Qilin's question. The Zhang family also had numerous connections with the Northeast, so it was normal for Zhang Qilin to have such thoughts.

Judging from his expression, I still couldn't remember.

Hu Jiu'er was very fast; just three hours later, she appeared downstairs at the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau.

The weasel had followed Shen Tongyu back and had been responsible for guarding the gate.

The weasel sensed Hu Jiu'er's presence almost the instant she appeared at the Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation.

The weasel, which had been lazily lying on the ground sleeping, suddenly opened its eyes and stared intently at the gate.

In less than two minutes, Hu Jiu'er appeared in the weasel's sight.

"weasel?"

"The old fox's disciple?"

Both the human and the fox stared wide-eyed at each other intently.

Hu Jiu'er even took two steps back, assuming a stance ready to attack.

She never expected that there would be a weasel in the Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation, and that this weasel could see through her identity at a glance.

Hu Jiu'er was greatly shocked. She knew that no one had ever been able to see through her identity when she was out and about.

"Miss Hu, is this the person in charge? Please come in with me!"

Just as the weasel and Hu Jiu'er were staring at each other, neither daring to make a move, a gentle voice came from the office.

The weasel's tense emotions instantly relaxed. It glanced at Hu Jiu'er one last time before lying down again and closing its eyes to rest.

Hu Jiu'er turned her gaze toward the direction from which the sound came.

Shen Tongyu stood leisurely at the door, a gentle smile on her face, and nodded slightly to Hu Jiu'er.

Seeing the smile on Shen Tongyu's face, Hu Jiu'er felt her spirits completely relax in that smile.

"Trouble!"

Hu Jiu'er thanked her softly and then went into the office.

The old smoker was sitting by the window smoking when he saw someone come in, and he nodded to Hu Jiu'er in a friendly manner.

At this moment, Xiao Chen hopped out of Huang Miao's office and skipped over to Hu Jiu'er.

An ordinary person would not recognize Jiang Xiaochen's identity and would only subconsciously think that the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau was employing child laborers. But Hu Jiu'er was no ordinary person, and she recognized Jiang Xiaochen's identity at a glance!
Flying zombie!

There's actually a flying zombie in the Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation?
Is this really an official government office?

The gatekeeper was a weasel, and the handyman was a zombie, after all, the teapot Xiao Chen was carrying and the towel draped over his shoulder were too conspicuous.

Hu Jiu'er felt as if she had stepped into a magical place.

"Jiang Xiaochen, take the guests inside to find the person in charge!"

Before Hu Jiu'er could react, Shen Tongyu had already given instructions to Jiang Xiaochen.

Jiang Xiaochen skipped over to Hu Jiu'er, made a "follow me" gesture, and then turned and walked towards the innermost office.

Hu Jiu'er followed Jiang Xiaochen passively, her face blank and her body stiff.

At that moment, she deeply felt that those who could enter the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau were not simple people. After all, what normal person could accept that the place where they worked was guarded by a weasel and that there were zombies working there?
Such a scene was so impactful that Hu Jiu'er was stunned for a long time.

When Hu Jiu'er entered Huang Miao's office, she saw two very different young men sitting on the sofa. One of them had a cold expression and looked unapproachable, while the other looked at her with a gentle expression.

The other person looked to be only in his early twenties, but he exuded the aura of a superior. Even with a smile on his face, Hu Jiu'er could feel the invisible pressure.

"Miss Hu, please have a seat and a cup of tea!"

Huang Miao spoke first, pointing to the single sofa next to him, and said to Hu Jiu'er in a gentle tone.

After Huang Miao spoke, Xiao Chen jumped to the single sofa first, took out a teacup, poured tea and put it down.

After doing all this, Xiao Chen jumped up and stood behind Huang Miao. If you didn't look closely, you would think there was a statue standing there.

Hu Jiu'er's feelings were hard to describe at this moment. She felt inexplicably uneasy. She walked over slowly step by step and sat down carefully.

"I am Huang Miao, the head of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. This gentleman next to me is our deputy head, Zhang Qilin. I presume you already know why we invited Miss Hu to the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. What are your thoughts on this?"

Seeing Hu Jiu'er sit down, Huang Miao slowly spoke.

He believed that Hu Jiu'er must have looked up some information about the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau before she came, but most of the information online was false, and she couldn't find much useful information.

Huang Miao's voice inexplicably carried a calming quality that soothed people's minds. Hu Jiu'er, who was originally nervous and at a loss, became peaceful and calm at this moment.

"I know, something happened to the water-suppressing mythical beast in Rongcheng, Xichuan District."

After hesitating for a while, Hu Jiu'er slowly began to speak: "I know the mistress of the Xu family. She once told me that if the water-suppressing beast of Rongcheng were unearthed, it would mean that something had happened to her or even that she was dead. She didn't ask me to avenge her, she only hoped that the torrential rain in the Xichuan region wouldn't last too long."

If the guardian of the water-suppressing divine beast dies, the entire Xichuan region will face a huge disaster.

I thought she was joking with me. After all, the water-suppressing beast had been buried underground for many years, and the only ones who truly remembered its existence were the guardian families.

Who would be so idle as to dig up the water-suppressing mythical beast?

Later, I saw the news and tried to contact her again, only to find that she really had disappeared; there was no news of her whatsoever. (End of Chapter)
