Talk about the world of mortals in detail

The rider had gone far away, and the masters in the weapon shop were still discussing.

"I was wondering why the flood was so strange, why there were so many places!" "Yes, it turned out there was a dragon!"

"Hey, Taoist priest, you made so many swords, you are not going to deal with dragons, right?"

Yi Shuyuan retracted his gaze from outside, smiled and looked at the blacksmith.

"Does this poor Taoist priest look like a capable person?"

The two blacksmiths looked at Yi Shuyuan up and down, looking at the calm look in the Cangshan Mountain, wearing a ragged Taoist robe but not looking embarrassed at all, the old master nodded.

"I think so!"

"If you say so, can it be cheaper?"

Yi Shuyuan asked this question, and the old blacksmith hesitated and nodded.

"If Taoist priest wants to protect the people in this area, I don't want the ironwork fee, I will only take the money you pay for the iron!"

"But this poor Taoist priest can't prove himself."

"I don't think you are lying, Taoist priest!"

Yi Shuyuan smiled.

"Okay, I'll come to get the sword in a month."

After saying that, Yi Shuyuan walked out of the weapon shop, but the old master behind him hurriedly followed him out.

"Master Taoist - come and get it in half a month!"

Walking on the street, Yi Shuyuan paused, turned around and bowed before leaving quickly.

When Yi Shuyuan walked to the place where there was a notice wall in the city, the court officials had indeed posted the imperial edict, and there were people everywhere inside and outside.

The officials continued to read the things described in the imperial edict, and there were many people watching the excitement outside, but few people responded.

However, Yi Shuyuan knew that the places with the most responses were mostly those affected by the disaster. Maybe many Taoist friends who entered the magic realm would be the most active ones.

The people talked a lot, and the officials shouted until they were dry-mouthed, and they would add a sentence at the end.

"Is there anyone willing to share the worries of the court and contribute to the people of the world?"

The officials did not think that anyone would jump out at this time, after all, this was not a place where floods passed, but at this time someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.

"I am willing to help eliminate the dragon and protect the people——" "Brother, and I——"

The person who spoke was not Yi Shuyuan. Like the others, he looked in the direction where the voice came from. He saw two men in the corner of the crowd. They looked stronger than ordinary people and looked strong.

The official was delighted and praised again and again.

"Good, good warriors, no matter success or failure, the court will reward you generously. First, send each of you ten taels of silver to settle down——"

When they heard that they could get ten taels of silver just by signing up, the crowd suddenly became restless. This is a lot of money!

But this time the official also laughed and continued to speak loudly.

"If you really want to eliminate harm for the people, the court will naturally not forget it, but if you just want to get the reward silver, you have to think clearly. This is the imperial edict. If you don't work hard, you will be beheaded!"

Some people in the crowd were still restless, but generally they were calm. The two men who spoke before had already arrived in front of the official, and there was no fear on their faces.

Yi Shuyuan was able to squeeze forward.

"I am also willing to help!"

Everyone looked for the voice again and saluted Yi Shuyuan. The official was also surprised to see the person who spoke. He was a Taoist priest in ragged clothes. He was not strong but rather thin, but he looked calm and composed.

"Okay, Taoist priest, please!"

With the three people taking the lead, some people in the city could not hold back and wanted to sign up.

In the eyes of many people, killing a dragon is a ridiculous thing. It should be more like building a dam or holding some ceremonies. After all, who has ever seen a dragon?

But the official didn't care about these things. He had reminded that as long as the applicants looked decent, they should agree.

Including Yi Shuyuan and the two men at the beginning, more than 30 people were recruited in the city that day. All of them were given resettlement fees, and they soon arrived at the government office and met local officials.

More than 30 people were in the courtyard of the government office. The local county magistrate looked at these people with a frown. They wanted to kill a dragon with such a reason?

Some things in the upper echelons of the court may not be known to the lower ranks, but the county magistrate actually knows them. He smiled and said.

"My fellow righteous men, you may not know that the national master had already warned of this disaster. I will first tell you the cause and effect."

It turned out that the national master was not sure what would happen before, but the emperor still sent out various imperial envoys to make preparations. Facts proved that the national master's prediction was true, but it seemed to be much earlier than the national master's judgment.

Some victims even saw the shadow of a dragon appear in the flood.

When the news was passed back to the capital, the national master judged that the disaster had not actually arrived, but now it can be concluded that there must be a big dragon in the water, and there is more than one place.

But there is also good news. The national master looked at the stars at night and felt that the stars were shining, just like the mercy of God, reminding the world that there are many talented people in the world.

The evil dragon ruthlessly harmed the people, so the court immediately decided to recruit heroes from all over the world to kill the dragon.

After the county magistrate finished his detailed explanation, the cause and effect became much clearer. He looked at the group of warriors who responded to the call. It was obvious that each of them looked uneasy. To be honest, only the Taoist priest in front looked like a capable person.

"County, county magistrate, can I withdraw and return the ten taels of silver?"

The county magistrate nodded and ordered someone to take the silver ingot from the man. Then the official detained him directly. The latter was dragged away before he was a little at a loss. When he reacted, he shouted loudly but no one paid attention.

"Sir, Sir, I know I am wrong, Sir——"

The county magistrate just looked at the people in front of him with different expressions. Only a few people could remain relatively calm at this time.

"I don't care whether you are doing it for fame and profit, or for the people. Since you have already responded to the imperial edict, quitting halfway is disobeying the order and the crime should be executed. Is there anyone else who wants to quit?"

No one dared to speak. Yi Shuyuan in the crowd just sighed softly, but this sound was also heard by the county magistrate, who looked at him with emphasis.

"You are all righteous men. I will not talk about the arrangements above. I would like to ask if you have any way to deal with the dragon?"

It seems that only this Taoist may have the ability, but before Yi Shuyuan spoke, one of the two men who responded first spoke.

"Sir, my brother and I know a method of setting up a formation. If thirty-six people practice together, we can show our power. If there are three hundred and sixty people, we can capture tigers and remove dragons!"

"Oh? What formation is it? Is there a name?"

The county magistrate immediately looked at the man, who looked at his brother and shook his head.

"We brothers are born with it, but we don't know the name."

Yi Shuyuan's heart moved. These two people seemed to be heavenly soldiers, and he suddenly spoke at this moment.

"As the saying goes, power comes from the ground. Your formation may be effective, but the dragon will stir up waves and come. By then, it will be a flood. You two may be gifted, but how can the rest of you stabilize yourself in the water? How to exert the power of the formation? Wouldn't it be a waste of life?"

The two men looked dissatisfied and were about to refute, but the county magistrate had already walked up to Yi Shuyuan and spoke.

"What do you think, Taoist priest?"

Yi Shuyuan then spoke out his thoughts.

"The big dragon's original intention is not to harm people, but to achieve enlightenment for itself. We will drive it away and drive it to a deserted place to cross the sea, and naturally we can solve the disaster."

"Humph, can the evil dragon still listen to you?"

The younger brother of the two men immediately made a sarcastic remark, and Yi Shuyuan smiled and nodded.

"I can naturally make it obedient. I set up a dragon-suppressing sword formation with the number of Tiangang and Disha, and naturally I can block the layers of passages and let the dragon follow the path arranged by me! I have already asked someone to make a dragon-suppressing sword. Now it would be great if I can get help from the court!"

"I also need some geographical records and water veins atlases to facilitate the study and determination of waterways"

In order to ensure that it is convincing and that outsiders can understand, Yi Shuyuan spoke in more detail as soon as he opened his mouth. Whether it is useful or not, it also makes people listen attentively.

"Master, can you tell me in detail so that I can report to the officials of Tongying."

This dragon-suppression is not a matter of one place. This county is just a small area, and the recruited righteous men are also to be gathered in the city.

People in the imperial court might not believe that the sword could change the flood route, but the cost of trial and error was not high. Yi Shuyuan inferred that he would definitely try it. If the water route was changed, everyone would be happy. If it was not changed, he could still work hard to get rid of the dragon!

In any case, Yi Shuyuan could only work hard in this way.

——

The imperial court wanted to deal with the dragon, which was enough to shock many people. In today's social environment, coupled with the strange floods that appeared almost at the same time before, it also made the people who already had many special speculations believe it.

For a time, the news spread quickly to all directions, and the imperial edict was posted everywhere. The place where Yi Shuyuan was was just a small place, and the rest of the places also had people responding.

Especially in places that had suffered from floods in the early stage, the imperial edict of the imperial court was posted, and the number of people who responded was countless, and even the imperial court had to carefully select them to be shortlisted.

After all, their families were broken and people died. Some people thought about revenge, and some people, based on hatred, still had the intention of sacrificing their lives in exchange for silver to make the remaining people's families live better.

Of course, there are many talented people who have extraordinary qualities in certain aspects. Some are knowledgeable, some are brave, some are excellent at swimming, and some also have some ability to predict or even predict the future.

A riverside camp is right next to the city that was originally affected by the disaster. This is one of the dragon-killing camps. Now there are many dragon-killing righteous men in training.

In the city outside the camp, although the court asked the local government to evacuate the people, there are actually many people who did not leave, and there are even many refugees from the previous disaster in the city.

It is a bit absurd that the locations of the dragon-killing camps in various places will also give priority to the supply of various materials, which has developed into an alternative economy, and people are gathering here instead.

On the streets of the city, a dirty child was walking weakly, holding his stomach. In today's world, it is too difficult to get something to eat.

"There are people giving out porridge and steamed buns over there——"

"Really?" "Hurry up, hurry up, it's too late if you don't go now——"

Many refugees suddenly rushed out of the street, and the child was surprised and hurried to run with them. Sure enough, someone in front of him set up a big pot of porridge and some steamers to give out to refugees.

The child followed the queue, but he didn't even have a bowl. When it was his turn, he looked up and saw that the one giving out porridge was a handsome rich young man.

When the rich young man saw the child, both of them were stunned.

The young man frowned, and the child also looked serious. The thoughts in their hearts were almost the same: Why does this young man/child make people feel so annoying?

The people in the queue behind were anxious.

"Why did it stop? Is there no more?" "No, I think there is still more, but the one giving out porridge stopped!"

"Give it back or not, master, please be kind"

The crowd began to get restless, and Jiang Lang immediately came back to his senses.

"Here, here, here, don't worry, where is your bowl?"

"I, I don't have a bowl. Just give me a steamed bun."

"Then use mine."

After taking a bowl and filling it with porridge, Jiang Lang handed the bowl to the child, stuffed him with a steaming bun, and sent someone to continue distributing porridge to the people behind.

However, when the child left, he looked back at the young man who gave out porridge several times, and the other party seemed to look at him many times.

When the child walked out more than ten steps, he also caught a glimpse of the flag of the porridge station next to him, with the word "Jiang" written on it.

The child's body suddenly stopped, and then turned around abruptly.

"Jiang Lang——"

Such a harsh and familiar voice, Jiang Lang looked at the child, his eyes revealing disgust and confusion.
