Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1868 - 1862: Construction Site Formation
Judging by his attire and the color of his hat, he should be the general person in charge of this stretch of road.
The incident at the construction site has given him quite a headache.
These so-called legends, to them, seemed like complete nonsense. But since Liu Daoist had arrived, it was natural to clarify the actual situation to him.
After hearing this, Liu Daoist didn’t speak, only nodded gently.
"Daoist Liu, can this ritual be performed?" Li Han asked proactively when she saw Liu Daoist remain silent.
"It can be done, the problem shouldn’t be significant." Liu Daoist nodded, then smiled at Li Han and said, "How about this, Mr. Li, it’s getting late and I’m sure all the leaders are tired. You all should go first, leave this to me and Chen Yang. Tomorrow you can resume work on time, and we’ll definitely solve the problem for you."
Liu Daoist smiled, his voice full of confidence.
Upon hearing these words, Li Han’s face instantly brightened!
"Really? That’s great, thank you very much, Daoist Liu." Li Han hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Mr. Li, there’s no need to be so formal," Liu Daoist said modestly.
"Chen Yang, I’ll take the team and leave first, so as not to disturb you. If there’s anything else you need, feel free to contact me anytime. Our base is just six kilometers away alongside the road, we can be here quickly."
Li Han wanted to stay together, but since Liu Daoist said so, she had to comply.
Chen Yang vaguely knew why Liu Daoist wanted these people to leave, so he didn’t try to keep them.
"Alright, you can leave first. Leave this to me and the old man. A ritual is relatively simple." Chen Yang nodded lightly.
Then Li Han left with the construction team.
"Xiao Li, you should go with them," Liu Daoist suddenly looked at Li Mengzi and said.
"Ah? Master." Li Mengzi didn’t want to leave.
"There’s nothing much here, you should go first. It’s enough with just me and Young Friend Chen Yang." Liu Daoist insisted.
Although Li Mengzi really wanted to stay, he didn’t dare to disobey Liu Daoist and could only nod and agree, leaving with Li Han and the others.
As soon as Li Han and the others left, the previously bustling construction site instantly became quiet.
Because of the strange pit, the wind around somehow felt even colder, and there was a peculiar feeling that couldn’t be put into words.
"Old man, what do you think about this?" Chen Yang asked Liu Daoist after everyone had left.
Liu Daoist smiled slightly and said, "I estimate this matter to be true. Many times, folk legends do have origins, they’re just slightly exaggerated."
Having said that, Liu Daoist stepped forward and picked out a decayed black piece of wood from the pile of dirt excavated by the construction team.
On the wood, there were some patterns almost worn away to the point of being unrecognizable.
The patterns seemed to form a formation, but due to their age, they were indeed hard to discern.
"The patterns on this wood are part of a simple sealing formation. I’ve seen it in formation books. For such an item to appear in a place like this can’t be a coincidence." Liu Daoist said, after looking at the wood for a couple of moments.
When Chen Yang realized it was indeed a formation, it was almost certain there was something below, no doubt about it.
"Since there’s something there, then what do we do now?" Chen Yang wasn’t surprised because ever since he entered the cultivation world, he had long been accustomed to things he once found inexplicable.
He’d seen a flood dragon, let alone this loach spirit.
Liu Daoist discarded the piece of wood and looked again at the bubbling pit, "We have to go back and get those formation materials I asked you to keep last time. I’ll see if we can replicate a formation on the spot to continue the suppression."
"Alright."
When it came to formations, Liu Daoist was still the master. Chen Yang didn’t question him and just got into the car with Liu Daoist, speeding all the way back to Liuhua Village, where they loaded up the formation materials stored at home to take away.
"It’s a pity, neither Wangcai nor Diao Bro from your house can go underwater. If there was someone who could, it would make solving this problem much easier."
As they were about to set off, Liu Daoist suddenly said.
Chen Yang paused and asked instinctively, "What do you mean by that?"
"That Mud Prince has been suppressed for at least a century. God knows what’s below there. If the formation doesn’t work, we still have to go underwater to solve it once and for all. But in that sticky mud, you sure can’t go down there, so I said it’s a pity, it’s not something we are sure to resolve." Liu Daoist explained.
Hearing this, Chen Yang fell silent for a moment.
Then he unfastened the seatbelt he had just secured.
"Wait for me here for a few minutes, I’ll be right back."
"Where are you going?"
"To find someone who can go underwater."
With that, Chen Yang left a sentence and vanished from Liu Daoist’s sight in an instant.
He headed straight for the mountain reservoir.
It was just ten at night, and the reservoir on the mountaintop was still bustling with activity.
With dining and singing, and people fishing, the fun never stopped.
Chen Yang walked around the reservoir and found a relatively secluded bank to call out the flood dragon from the water.
With the dragon pearl, the flood dragon’s condition was indeed different.
In just a few days, its injuries had almost fully recovered.
The places where scales were knocked off had gradually regrown scales.
Its glossy, black armor and the horn on its head, along with the four claws on its abdomen, truly gave off a dragon-like aura.
"Master!"
Seeing Chen Yang, the flood dragon spoke softly.
While it still harbored some defiance against Chen Yang, under the master-servant pact, it had no choice but to submit.
"With the dragon pearl, indeed it’s different. Your wounds have healed quite extensively already." Chen Yang said with a smile.
The flood dragon, hearing this, looked awkward.
It didn’t know whether to be happy or angry for a moment.
Being happy, its injuries were inflicted by Chen Yang.
Being angry, the dragon pearl was returned by Chen Yang.
So its feelings were very complicated.
"Alright, let’s not get into this now. The task today is to give you an assignment, come with me for a trip." Chen Yang said straightforwardly.
"Alright!"
The flood dragon agreed decisively, not asking what Chen Yang wanted it to do, and just followed him directly.
Due to its natural attributes, the flood dragon could fly outright.
So Chen Yang didn’t need to bring it into the car, allowing it to fly alongside under the night sky as he drove.
Together, they headed for the highway commissioned to Li Han.
"Young Friend Chen Yang, what did you just do?"
Seeing Chen Yang return to the car, Liu Daoist asked curiously.
Even though Chen Yang had only been gone a few minutes, he had a feeling something big was about to happen.
"Nothing, I just went to call in someone to help who can go underwater." Chen Yang replied with a smile.
"A helper?" Liu Daoist was surprised, glancing around before he couldn’t help but ask, "Where is this person?"
Chen Yang smiled mysteriously, "You’ll see when we get there."
...
After another hour and a half.
Chen Yang and Liu Daoist returned to the muddy pit.
At this moment, the pit was spewing out even more mud.
Because Li Han had withdrawn all the workers and no one cleaned the place, the scene was somewhat unsightly.
The surging mud even spread to the asphalt road that had been constructed.
