Chapter 734: Chapter 734 Longkou

From the topography of Xiashan County, one could tell that all the mountain ranges seemed to be connected together, forming a node somewhere within the county.

Indeed, if one were to imagine this topography as a dragon, it was quite lifelike.

And that node, or rather, the place known as Longkou in geomancy, truly was a treasured spot.

“Head for Tufang Village.” Ji Yang settled into the car and said to the driver.

The car swiftly made its way toward Tufang Village.

Ji Yang hadn’t expected the node to be Tufang Village.

Upon arriving at Tufang Village, the villagers, who were previously quite overbearing, now showed a sense of reverence upon seeing Ji Yang’s car approach.

Ji Yang couldn’t care less about their affairs and ordered the car to keep moving forward.

Of course, a cadre from the village not involved in the dispute was summoned.

The cadre’s name was Yi Dashi, who sat in the car looking very uneasy.

Ji Yang asked, “Do you know where Longkou is?”

“Yes, Longkou is a deadly place in our village. No one wants to go there, saying it’s where the breath of the dragon’s mouth spews forth. People who go there tend to fall ill easily. Many who have been there return only to become sick.”

As he spoke, his face filled with fear, “Mayor Ji… you… you guys… want to go there?”

Seeing his trembling lips, Ji Yang smiled and said, “Alright, no need to be afraid. You can get off at a distance; you don’t have to come with us.”

“Mayor Ji, that place is very eerie.”

Hearing that he wouldn’t have to go there, Yi Dashi stopped trembling.

Soon, the car arrived at a certain location, and Yi Dashi said, “Up ahead is Longkou. We can’t go any further.”

“Stop the car.”

Ji Yang instructed the car to stop and said to his secretary and driver, “You guys stay here. I’ll go in by myself.”

“Mayor Ji, you can’t go in alone. I’ll follow,” his secretary offered bravely, and the driver also said, “I’m not afraid; I’ll accompany you.”

Seeing the two of them so determined, Ji Yang was pleased; it showed their loyalty to him.

After a moment’s thought and seeing their persistence, Ji Yang nodded slightly and said to Yi Dashi, “Okay, you stay here and watch the car. We’re going to take a look.”

Yi Dashi opened his mouth as if to persuade them otherwise but was at a loss for words, so he simply agreed.

The three of them headed toward Longkou.

Very soon, they all felt gusts of cold air rushing toward them.

As they walked further, the secretary’s teeth were clattering.

Ji Yang looked at him and indeed saw that the secretary was shaking all over, clearly unable to withstand the frigid air.

“That’s enough, head back to the car. This place isn’t suitable for you.”

The secretary wanted to say something, but finally just gave a bitter smile. He knew he truly couldn’t go on any further without causing trouble.

“Mayor Ji, be careful.”

Ji Yang turned to the driver, who was faring slightly better than the secretary, but it was apparent that he too was struggling to endure.

“Alright, there’s no need for you to go any further either. You both head back and wait.”

Having been with Ji Yang for some time, they both knew of Ji Yang’s mysterious abilities and remarkable skills. Seeing that Ji Yang was truly fine, they refrained from insisting on continuing further and resignedly made their way back to the car.

Without the two of them in tow, Ji Yang could now let loose.

Although the air here was filled with a supernatural cold, it wasn’t unbearable for Ji Yang. Moreover, despite the cold aura, it seemed not to harm him; he even felt as if it might present him with an opportunity.
