Chapter 442 Locking Longjing

Dan Qingsheng asked his servant to take Xin Zhen to arrange accommodation, while he hurried to the backyard.

Xin Zhen made the best of it and stayed at the farm, eating and drinking as usual, practicing as usual, and even wanted to go swimming in the West Lake every day. However, he was stopped by his servants, who said that the dragon was still in the lake and that if he went any further there might be another conflict.

Dan Qingsheng was delayed for three full days. On the fourth day, Dan Qingsheng finally came, looking tired. When he saw Xin Zhen, he smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, brother."

Xin Zhen didn't care much about it. He did come here presumptuously, so it was normal for others to be on guard. Maybe these three days were the time to investigate his whereabouts.

Xin Zhen didn't ask, but Dan Qingsheng took the initiative to say, "To be honest, I have been investigating your identity for the past three days. Don't blame us for not trusting you. It's mainly because we have important tasks to do, so we have to be so careful."

Xin Zhen was stunned when he heard this and said, "Aren't the four seniors living in seclusion here? Is there any other reason?"

Dan Qingsheng smiled and said, "Do you know why that evil dragon wants to eat people in broad daylight?"

Xin Zhen said: "I heard that it is because the world is about to be in chaos, and the Heavenly Court does not care about the affairs of the lower world, so the dragons have become unscrupulous."

Dan Qingsheng nodded, looking somewhat worried, and said, "This is also true, but Ao Zhang, the evil dragon, is not just doing this for the sake of his appetite, he is trying to lure us out."

Xin Zhen reacted immediately and asked, "A sinful dragon was suppressed in Meizhuang?"

Dan Qingsheng shook his head and said, "No, but there are some similarities. The dragon clan has become more and more excessive in the past hundred years, and has repeatedly caused chaos in the rivers and lakes. Some have robbed the luck of the coast, some have condoned the aquatic creatures to enslave humans, some have plundered all kinds of rare treasures, and some have forced the people along the coast to offer sacrifices. It is very rampant.

Therefore, the previous emperor set up a ban at the mouth of each river, called the Dragon Locking Well, not to lock the dragon, but to intercept the water essence in the rivers and prevent it from flowing into the four seas. "

Xin Zhen immediately understood and said, "The dragon clan respects the Four Seas Dragon Kings as their leader. This is to cut off the Four Seas Dragon Kings' foundation and let the Four Seas Dragon Kings control the dragon clans in the major rivers?"

Dan Qingsheng looked at Xin Zhen with a look of surprise on his face, and asked, "Is this your own guess?"

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "According to your logic, it's easy to come up with this conclusion, right?"

Dan Qingsheng sneered and said, "It's not that simple. The four of us brothers came here to guard the place and spent a long time thinking about it before we figured out this truth. Do you think we four brothers are too stupid?"

Xin Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, that means I am extremely smart."

Dan Qingsheng snorted and said, "Shameless!"

Xin Zhen: “…”

Dan Qingsheng said: "Before, Hua Dynasty was powerful and was the representative of Heaven on earth, so the Dragon Clan did not dare to turn against it easily. Now Hua Dynasty is in name only, and no one cares about the Dragon Locking Well anymore, so the Dragon Clan began to have their eyes on the Dragon Locking Well."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "I think these water essences are also very important to the dragon clan. Hua Dynasty exists in name only, and the Heavenly Court dares not descend to the mortal world. How can the dragon clan allow these dragon-locking wells to exist? This is normal." Dan Qingsheng nodded and said, "There is a ban on Meizhuang. If we hadn't taken the initiative to introduce it, others would not have been able to find Meizhuang. The evil dragon knew that we were by the West Lake, but didn't know where Meizhuang was, so he overturned the dragon boat and flower boat and forced us to show up with the lives of hundreds of people.

If you hadn't appeared that day, we wouldn't have been able to watch hundreds of people being eaten like that, but once we showed up, the location of the Dragon Locking Well would inevitably be exposed."

Xin Zhen was shocked and said, "So that's how it is. Fortunately, I was there that day, otherwise it would have succeeded."

Dan Qingsheng snorted and said, "This is also the reason why we invited you. We say we are thanking you on behalf of the people, but in fact we are thanking you for helping us."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "This is only temporary. The Dragon Locking Well is so important to the dragon clan, they will definitely not give up."

Dan Qingsheng looked worried when he heard this, and nodded, "They will definitely not give up. I heard that the Dragon Locking Well at the mouth of the Yellow River has been broken.

In order to break the Dragon Locking Well, the Dragon Clan did not hesitate to divert the Yellow River. Now the Yellow River basin in the north has become an ocean, and the people in the flooded areas are living in misery!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Zhen was furious and said, "The dragon race is so rampant! They regard human life as worthless. Isn't there any great cultivator from the human race who can stand up and stop them?"

Dan Qingsheng said with a sneer on his face, "The Hua Dynasty has lost its power. Now the major inheritances and local princes are either taking the opportunity to expand their territory or entering the capital in the name of serving the king, trying to seize Huajing and gain the title of orthodoxy. Who has the heart to care about the common people?
The Dragon Clan is powerful. When the Hua Dynasty was still in existence, the Dragon Clan was still somewhat afraid of them. But now that the Hua Dynasty is gone, there is no one who can control the Dragon Clan. The forces that can control them, because they want to retain their power to dominate the world, can only turn a blind eye to the Dragon Clan's actions. "

Xin Zhen also sighed when he heard this, and then asked: "Now Meizhuang has become an isolated force, what do you think, seniors?"

Dan Qingsheng shook his head and said, "Let's go. My brothers are waiting for you in the living room. We are going to discuss this matter carefully."

Xin Zhen was immediately cheered up. Here came the key point. If this matter could be properly resolved, he would be able to gain four capable subordinates. If it could not be resolved, then the matter would be dropped.

This is a test, and also a real problem that we have to face.

Dan Qingsheng brought Xin Zhen to the living room, where there were three middle-aged men. Dan Qingsheng introduced them to each other: the man in black was Hei Baizi, the one in yellow was Tu Bi Weng, and the one in purple was Huang Zhonggong.

As soon as Xin Zhen appeared, the three people looked at him with scrutiny. Xin Zhen responded calmly and frankly. Under the stare of three pairs of eyes, he still greeted them with a smile, and the time lasted for a cup of tea, and Xin Zhen was still very calm.

Huang Zhonggong and the other two looked at each other and nodded. It was impossible for someone without great ambition to perform like this. This kid really had something. No wonder that arrogant and madman valued him so much.

Hei Baizi spoke first: "Xin Zhen, we already know why you are here. Fan Jie is arrogant, but we believe in his vision. Since he thinks highly of you, he naturally thinks you can accomplish things. The four of us brothers are willing to follow you to do great things together.

However, you should also know about the Dragon Locking Well. The four of us brothers have guarded the Dragon Locking Well for half our lives, so we cannot watch the dragons wreak havoc on the world. We must properly handle the Dragon Locking Well matter, so that we can follow you to fight for the world with peace of mind."
