Chapter 185
"No." Wei Shuxian shook his head slightly, "I just took a look at the pier, and there were a few cargo boats behind us earlier, and they also stopped at the pier of Fengwei Town, after which they transferred the goods into trucks and took to road transport."
"Switching from water to road transport, wouldn’t that increase the cost?"
"Yes, indeed it would." Wei Shuxian nodded, "I gathered some information from a travelers’ forum too. A few travelers had the same doubts as we do and they also pointed out that Fengwei Town seems like a paradise during the day, but at night, it gives off an extremely gloomy feeling."
You glanced out at the street where people were coming and going, thinking the setting here was indeed nice. As for the feeling of being gloomy, you hadn’t sensed that yet.
"Did anyone follow up on that?" Xi Yu asked.
"Yes, a netizen who lives in Losha Town replied, saying that Fengwei Town seems to be situated in a terrain known as ’Dragon and Snake Fight for Pearl.’ The waterway from Fengwei Town to Luoxia Mountain is extremely dangerous with many undercurrents. Ever since the establishment of Fengwei Town, that waterway has swallowed many boats and lives. After the founding of the country, the authorities sent experts to investigate, and after some time, they gave a very vague statement. However, before they left, they sealed off that stretch of water, forbidding any boats from passing through."
"Dragon and Snake Fight for Pearl?" You were slightly startled, and then you walked to the end of the corridor and looked up toward the blood-red sunset in the west, your expression suddenly turning cold.
"What’s wrong? Did you find something new?"
Xiao Feng and Wei Shuxian hurriedly followed.
Scratching the back of your head, you said to the two of them, "From a feng shui perspective, this land formation is an extremely ominous place. Normally, no one would choose to live in such a place."
