Peach Blossom Divine Medical God-Chapter 1827 - 1821: River Dragon King?

After promising the little tiger, he decisively turned around and left, then retraced his steps out of the ancient cave.

"Chen Yang, my young friend, how come you’re out so soon? Could it be that Uncle wasn’t able to accept the inheritance?" An elder guarding the entrance saw Chen Yang come out and immediately approached to inquire.

"No, the old guy has already started accepting the inheritance, but the process is slow, so I came out first," Chen Yang replied.

He originally thought that upon hearing this, the elder would look distressed.

After all, according to the agreement, if Taoist Liu accepted the inheritance, the treasures inside would have little to do with them, and they would only get a few cultivation techniques.

Yet unexpectedly, the elder’s face overflowed with joy instead.

"Great, it’s good that Uncle is able to accept the inheritance. From now on, our Lion and Tiger schools both have a chance for revitalization," the elder said excitedly.

"Uh-huh." Not knowing what to say, Chen Yang nodded twice, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left directly.

He didn’t have many acquaintances on Lion Tiger Mountain, so after leaving the cave, he went straight down the mountain, leaving Lion Tiger Mountain.

Driving, he prepared to return to Lihe Village.

But as soon as the car entered the city and was about to get on the highway,

his phone rang. When he took it out and looked, it turned out to be a call from Director Ma.

"Why is Director Ma calling me again? Could something have happened?" Chen Yang wondered, sliding the screen to answer the call, "Hello, Director Ma, why are you calling? Is there something wrong?"

"Chen Yang, have you gotten on the highway yet?"

Director Ma asked over the phone.

Chen Yang paused, wondering how he knew he was about to get on the highway.

"The thing is, Chen Yang, I’m currently at Lion Tiger Mountain for a task. I heard you just left the mountain, so I called to see if you have time. If you haven’t left yet, you might come over to help," Ma Jiantao seemed to sense Chen Yang’s confusion and explained proactively before Chen Yang could ask.

After listening to Ma Jiantao’s explanation, Chen Yang understood. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Director Ma, what task are you carrying out? How can I help?" Chen Yang was quite interested in secret tasks.

Because not only does it nurture practical skills, but sometimes there’s a small fortuity.

"I can’t say much over the phone. If you’re interested, I’ll send you an address. You can head there now. I will get there soon too. The task is very special and should be beneficial for you," Ma Jiantao didn’t specify, but from his tone, it sounded like an interesting task.

"Okay, then send me the location. Just as well, I haven’t gotten on the highway yet."

Chen Yang agreed.

After Ma Jiantao acknowledged, he hung up. Shortly thereafter, there was a ding, and the location was sent over.

It was more than fifty kilometers from the city, a small mountain village.

The village is next to a river, making it quite distinctive.

Chen Yang briefly looked over the directions and then drove over.

After about forty minutes, he arrived at the village marked on the map and noticed a group of people by the river from a distance. Taking a closer look, he recognized them as Ma Jiantao and Lisa.

So Chen Yang parked his car at the village entrance and walked over.

When he got closer, he also saw an old man among the crowd.

The old man was describing something to the turbulent river.

"Director Ma, Lisa,"

Chen Yang approached and immediately greeted them.

Their conversation stopped simultaneously.

"Wow, Chen Yang, you got here so quickly, didn’t you?" Ma Jiantao said, delighted.

"Chen Yang, you’ve also come. It seems today’s task is a sure thing," Lisa smiled. Having interacted many times, there was a mutual friendship-like rapport between them.

"Director, when you called me, I was just in the city, so it didn’t take long to get here." Chen Yang smiled slightly, then asked, "What task are you carrying out here?"

"Lately, large livestock have often disappeared in this area. We came here to investigate. This is the village chief, and he’s explaining the situation to us," Ma Jiantao briefly explained and introduced the old man to Chen Yang.

"Oh, hello, Chief."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately smiled and extended his hand to greet the old man.

The village chief was very amiable, with a simple smile always on his face.

"Hello, officer," the village chief joyfully greeted Chen Yang back. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he resumed explaining the situation.

Chen Yang listened attentively and understood what was going on.

It turned out that lately, large livestock like water buffaloes and pigs had frequently gone missing from the village.

Initially, the villagers thought thieves had come, and they reported it to the police several times, but to no avail.

Then, just a few days ago, a villager who got up at night happened to see a huge serpent-like creature wandering around the village.

He was so terrified that he fainted on the spot.

When he woke up the next day, the village had lost three more pigs.

After that, the villager shared what he had seen that night, and all the villagers unanimously believed that the river’s Dragon King had emerged.

Now the villages in the vicinity are all terrified, afraid that the Dragon King might visit their homes one night.

"Actually, the legend of the Dragon King in the river has been around these parts for a long time, but no one took it seriously. Who would’ve thought this would turn out to be true?" The village chief looked tense as he recounted this.

Director Ma, Lisa, and Chen Yang, after hearing the story, instinctively thought it was likely a spiritual beast.

Chen Yang thought so as well. Since he got involved in the cultivation world, many questions had become normalized.

What people described as monsters could only be spiritual beasts.

Everyone understood this in their hearts, but they certainly couldn’t admit it wasn’t so in front of the village chief.

"Hehe, Chief, we have understood your situation, but the so-called Dragon King definitely doesn’t exist. Let’s do this, we’ll stay here today and will surely help you solve this matter," Director Ma comforted the village chief with a smile.

The village chief wanted to insist that the Dragon King did exist, but he didn’t say it.

"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you, officers," the village chief thanked them.

"Yeah, we understand the situation. Chief, you can go ahead with your work; we’ll start investigating the nearby situation," Director Ma said with a smile.

"Okay," the chief nodded, then left first.

Once the chief was far enough, the smile on Director Ma’s face faded, replaced by a serious expression.

"According to the villagers’ descriptions, this thing is going to be tough to handle, plus being next to a river complicates our actions," Ma Jiantao muttered to himself.

"Director Ma, do you believe what the villagers say?"

Chen Yang was somewhat skeptical because almost every rural area has legends of dragons or something similar. However, they typically turn out to be either fabricated or exaggerated and rarely authentic.
