Chapter 89: The evil dragon

Dongting Lake that year was calm in the first half of the year.

And this is also the time when fishermen go into the lake to fish in groups.

There are countless islands scattered on the surface of Dongting Lake. Some of them are beautiful and close to the lake shore. They are all good places at that time and have long been occupied by tourists everywhere. However, for those small islands near the center of the lake, they are rarely visited.

Only fishermen who go into the lake to fish will build huts on those islands to store supplies. Every time they go into the lake to fish, it often takes several days or even longer, so they will use these deserted islands in the middle of the lake as their destination.

In the summer of that year, the fishing moratorium had just passed, and it was the time when fishing boats entered the lake in groups.

Among them, the exit of Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River, the Chenglingji area is the place with the most fishermen.

At the beginning of the fishing season, it was the time when fishermen entered the lake to store supplies. At that time, someone found a deserted island that no one had ever landed on dozens of miles out of Chenglingji.

This deserted island is clearly facing the exit of the river, but no one has ever discovered it before. It is quite strange. However, as the place where fishermen store supplies, a group of fishermen went to the island to prepare. As a result, someone discovered a lake in the middle of the island in the middle of the island.

The island itself is not too big. The island's heart lake occupies half of the area and does not have a stream connected to the water of Dongting Lake. It looks quite strange. At that time, fishermen dragged their boats into the island's heart lake to try fishing. After all, lakes on islands like this often have undercurrents connected to Dongting Lake and will be regarded as a place for laying eggs by fish, and will gather in the lake at this time.

However, the fishermen who entered the lake in the middle of the island did not catch the fish, but instead overturned the boat and threw themselves into the lake.

Later, the people who entered the lake to rescue all sank the ship without exception and were buried at the bottom of the lake. It’s strange that these fishermen are all well-versed in water, but no one can get on the water anymore.

Many fishermen died at that time, and this incident alarmed the local officials and brought people to the island to check, allowing a team of officers and soldiers with excellent water qualities to go into the water to check. Unexpectedly, no one could come up.

And in the few days after that, there was a rainstorm in Dongting Lake East Lake, and even the fishermen could not enter the lake.

This can be said to be a major event in the local area. It has spread around Donghu Lake. It is said that the lake in the heart of the island is the dragon palace of the Dragon King of Dongting. The fishermen disturbed the Dragon King and were dragged into the water to feed the fish.

But no matter how many people died, and there were officers and soldiers, so they couldn't get over this matter, so the local officials reported it again and reported it to the upper level.

Of course, this upper level does not refer to Zhang Yue. As a second-rank official and a governor from Huguang, he could not alarm him, but an official from the governor's department under his command.

He is also a fifth-rank official, and he has made extensive friends in the world and knows many talented people.

So he found a master and took his men to take a boat with him while the heavy rain stopped.

This master is also a real skill. When he went to the island in the middle of the lake, he immediately changed his color and said that there was a huge evil spirit under the lake, or even a evil dragon.

The master said that this evil spirit was at the bottom of the lake, and it seemed that it was sleeping at the bottom of the lake before, but was awakened by the fishermen. If it was not dealt with earlier, with its evil spirit, it would probably cause harm to the entire East Lake. By then, I don’t know how many people would die.

At this moment, the official couldn't hold back and asked the master what to do.

The master said that looking at this evil spirit, this thing is a fierce evil in the water, and it will be aroused when it encounters water, so he said that it may be a evil dragon. If it is still in the water, it will not be able to deal with it no matter what. He can only find a way to get it up first to solve it.

But the lake in the middle of this island is not small, and it is very deep. If you want to get the things inside, you have to go down to the lake. But none of the people who went down to the lake before were still alive. Who dares to go down to the lake now?

No one is willing to do this thing to die in vain, and officials cannot force them to go into the water. There is no way, the master can only risk his life to go into the water. Before he went into the water, he told the people on the shore to prepare, and when he went into the water, he brought eight chains and asked the people on the shore to pull the other end.

Not long after the master went to the lake, the entire lake began to surging violently, as if something was fighting under the water, and a faint roar came out of the water. Not long after, the master suddenly emerged from the water and shouted and asked everyone to twitch the chains. However, he seemed to be dragged by something and fell into the water.

Although the others were afraid to see this, they still pulled the chain. Sure enough, something heavy seemed to be dragged up on the other end of the chain. According to the instructions of the master, a chain was pulled by eight strong men, with a total of eight,864 people, and finally dragged the thing out of the water.

It is not a monster or a dragon that people imagine, but a heavy bronze coffin.

The coffin was dragged up, but the master never came up again.

Before going into the water, the master told him that he might not be able to get up, so he asked the officials to send the things he dragged up to the shore of Dongting Lake, and then search for a Fengshui burial on the shore of Chenglingji. And even if he can't get up, don't let anyone else go into the water, because the evil spirit will remain in the water, and he can only let it disperse itself.

Seeing this, the official knew that the master was probably buried at the bottom of the lake, so he cried, kowtowed three times and nine times at the island's heart lake, and then he asked someone to carry the copper coffin onto the boat, preparing to send it to the shore. At that time, the Fengshui gate was extremely prosperous, and his boss Zhang Yue was a Fengshui master himself, so he was not worried about not being able to find what the master said about Fengshui to suppress evil.

But things didn't go so smoothly. As soon as the ship sailed, heavy rains broke out again in the sky, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It is said that the scale was like pouring water from the sky. When a person showed up in the rain, he was like being splashed by water.

The water level of Dongting Lake had already risen to a dangerous level with the heavy rainstorm in recent days. When their ships reached halfway, a major flood that only once occurred in Dongting Lake would have been around for decades.

The ship of the Chief Secretary for Administration sank into the bottom of the water with the bronze coffin. Only a few people survived and told the others about this.

The storm they had before when they were on the lake was just the first wave of floods. The subsequent dam breaking and heavy water completely destroyed the towns along Dongting Lake.

There were countless casualties and injuries in that flood, and I don’t know how many innocent people died.

Zhang Yue, as the governor of Huguang, naturally couldn't sit still. He used his skills in black and white to mobilize to treat disaster victims and clear water conservancy.

But as long as the heavy rain continues, the heavy water cannot stop no matter how hard it is cleared.

The bronze coffin on the island in the middle of the lake was naturally noticed by Zhang Yue. However, at the beginning of the flood, he was so busy that he was overwhelmed. Even if his subordinates of the governor had to deal with it, he had no time to take care of it. But now the flood was overflowing, and he had to start thinking about it.

It seems that the heavy rain and flood in Dongting Lake began on the island in the middle of the lake. According to legend, the dragon can spread clouds and rain. Will the flood in Dongting Lake be related to the evil dragon mentioned by the master?

However, he was the descendant of Feng Shui Sect, good at feng shui and layout, but he was not good at this kind of thing. So he found his best friend, the general leader of Yin Wu Sect, which is my ancestor Ma Yi.

The forces of Yinwumen are the main force in Huguang area, and the Ma family has made great achievements since then. Of course, Ma Yi would not refuse this matter. The two of them took a large brigade of officers and soldiers and drove into the lake in a large ship, braved the surging waves and checked on the island in the middle of the lake.

Although the island in the middle of the lake is not big, fortunately the terrain is relatively high and it is not flooded. My ancestor Ma Yi took the lead in the water. Although the danger in the lake is inexplicable, with his ability, he will naturally not easily break into the water.

He came up from the lake in the middle of the island without any damage, but it brought bad news.
