Two Worlds: I Became an Immortal

Chapter 42 Anjiang County

"According to the map, the place closer to here is Anjiang County in the Jing River area."

Song Yunyuan looked at the direction on the map and locked it after taking a look.

Anjiang County, Dragon King
There is a Jinghe Dragon King in Journey to the West, but there is no such thing as Tang Monk's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures in this world.

Song Yunyuan put away the map and strode towards Anjiang County. Based on his walking speed, he estimated that it would take two days to reach Anjiang County.

Fortunately, at night, he can go directly back to Earth without worrying about encountering any wolves, tigers or leopards at night.

Song Yunyuan was walking on the official road, which was relatively flat, but the two sides seemed a bit desolate. At the beginning, Song Yunyuan was the only one on the road. After Song Yunyuan had walked for most of the day, he could occasionally see some woodcutters doing business on the road.

When Song Yunyuan looked around, he saw that the woodcutters were only wearing straw sandals, while the merchants were dressed a little better, with clothes made of silk.

When the sun came up, Song Yunyuan felt a little thirsty.

Song Yunyuan didn't bring any water on the way here, and after being in the sun for most of the day, he was a little thirsty.

When Song Yunyuan stopped and wanted to see if there was anyone around, and if not, he would go back to drink some water. However, he saw a pavilion not far ahead, and there seemed to be some people resting inside the pavilion.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Yunyuan walked towards the pavilion.

After a while, Song Yunyuan came to the pavilion and saw many men sitting in the pavilion. Next to these men were some boxes, and no one knew what was in these boxes.

Seeing someone coming, the strong men smiled at Song Yunyuan kindly, moved to the side, and made room for him.

Seeing this, Song Yunyuan also sat down beside him and pursed his lips slightly.

The big man opposite saw this scene, and after a little hesitation, he handed over a water bag, "Young man, I have some water I just filled, would you like to drink some?"

"Don't be nosy. How could a young man want things from a rough man like us?"

As soon as the big man finished speaking, his companion beside him immediately started to scold him.

There was a hint of severity in the voice, and the man who had just spoken shrank his neck, smiled awkwardly, and was about to take the water bag back.

Song Yunyuan smiled when he saw this, but he reached out to take it, "Thank you."

Song Yunyuan thanked him, then opened the water bag and drank the water.

After drinking the sweet water, Song Yunyuan suddenly felt that all the fatigue in his body seemed to be relieved.

The big man who had just spoken was also a little stunned when he saw this.

Originally, seeing that Song Yunyuan was dressed quite elegantly, they thought that he might be a young master from some family. How could a young master from such a family want things from rough people like them?

I didn't expect that Song Yunyuan would just take it and drink it.

"This water is very sweet."

After Song Yunyuan drank the water, he handed the water bag back.

The big man smiled when he heard this. "We got this water from the wells in Dongyang County when we passed by there. Dongyang County is really lucky. They got a lot of water from wells there!"

Dongyang County?
When Song Yunyuan heard this, he was also stunned. He didn't expect that the water the other party fetched was from Dongyang County.

There is some fate involved.

"I see."

Song Yunyuan nodded slightly, then looked at the objects these big men were carrying and asked curiously, "I wonder what you are carrying and what you are going to do?" "Young man, don't you know?" Seeing that Song Yunyuan seemed to be quite easy to talk to, the man in front of him also became talkative, "It's almost the day to carry the Dragon King. There have been severe droughts around the Jing River in the past few years, and everyone wants to ask the Dragon King to bless good weather and good harvests."

"So this year's Dragon King Carrying Ceremony has become particularly grand, and even many people from other places have come to pray."

When the big man said this, his face was full of piety, "If the Dragon King doesn't bless us with rain, all the villagers in our village will starve to death."

The successive severe droughts not only hit Dongyang County, but other places as well.

Song Yunyuan frowned when he heard this, "Is this Dragon King effective?"

"Of course it works!"

This time, the person who answered the question was another man. He immediately replied decisively, "In the early years, the weather was good and the harvest was good."

Song Yunyuan frowned when he saw this. If it was really true, then why has there been severe drought in recent years?

If dragons really existed, they wouldn't cause such severe droughts in various places, right?
When Song Yunyuan first arrived in Dongyang County, he heard a lot about the disaster from Dai Mingxuan. Dongyang County also took in many victims who had fled from other places.

When I came here earlier, there were many people who starved to death on the road.

That is to say, after Song Yunyuan arrived, he got a lot of food and asked people to bury the bodies on the roadside. Otherwise, the scene around here would not be like this.

Song Yunyuan looked at the people in front of him and wanted to say that it was just a stone statue and there was no need to be so pious, but when he saw how pious they were, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

We have seen immortal cultivators before, so it seems reasonable if a dragon king suddenly appears.

"Young Master, you are probably going there to carry the Dragon King, right?"

"Well, I am indeed going to take a look."

Hearing this, Song Yunyuan raised his head, smiled and replied.

After thinking about it, Song Yunyuan asked tentatively, "Have you heard of the rumors about the Dragon King in the Jing River area, or has anyone seen the Dragon King?"

"I've never seen it, but I've heard some rumors about it."

The big man answered honestly after hearing this.

"What's the rumor? Can you tell me about it?"

"The most recent one was probably five years ago. It was probably during the Waking of Insects when dark clouds covered the Jing River. People nearby said they saw the Dragon King casting a spell to make it rain in the clouds, followed by lightning and thunder. The thunder roared and illuminated the dark clouds. People could see a giant dragon sitting cross-legged in the clouds."

"No, I heard that the Dragon King's people saw it, and the lightning was striking the Dragon King!"

"Nonsense! The Dragon King can control the clouds and rain, how could he be struck by lightning?"

The big men in front of him started arguing before they had even said a few words.

Song Yunyuan was also stunned after hearing these words.

Has anyone really seen the Dragon King controlling the clouds and rain? But what the people in front of me said were just hearsay.

It seems impossible to determine whether it is true or not.

However, it does seem a little unreliable to say that the Dragon King was struck by lightning.

If there really is a Dragon King, he shouldn't be struck by lightning, right?
