Chapter 318 Keeping the family and guarding the people
The whole village looked into the distance. The floods flooded a few days ago and the statue of the Queen was submerged. They knew that a great disaster was coming. No one could stop this disaster from happening. Those who wanted to leave had already left, and those who did not want to leave had already left. , are still holding on, not afraid of life or death at all, which means they are unwilling to leave.
This is the place where they were born and raised. Where else can they settle down if they leave here?
Xie Lingyan understood the reluctance of these people, not that they couldn't leave, but because they were afraid that leaving would be a dead end.
And this statue of the female monarch was their endless hope. Now that it was destroyed, there was not much hope left for them.
So what Xie Lingyan asked is, if you all die, who will remember the past that you have remembered for thousands of years.
What has happened here, what has declined and been revived here, if no one remembers it, will be swallowed up and buried as easily as soil and water.
A lantern supported a white-haired old man out of the crowd. The hobbling old man asked, "Is it the queen who is back?"
The old man looked at the girl in red standing high up. He knew what Nujun looked like. But didn't the girl in red not far away look like Nujun?
Xie Lingyan was silent, she knew why they cast this statue.
It's because Can Ling once stayed here and taught them how to create a home.
They were originally homeless and had nowhere to live, but they were able to get married and start a business here. It was Can Ling who gave hope to the desperate people.
But the sky and the earth changed color, and the mountains and rivers shook.
The terrain here is low-lying and the river water rises and falls. It is inevitable that the village is destined to be submerged.
Moreover, there is a purple-scaled dragon suppressed under the statue. The purple-scaled dragon lurks in the mouth of the river and transforms into a dragon into the sea in five hundred years. Once they incarnate, the place where they live will burst into floods and submerge tens of thousands of miles.
Back then, Xie Lingyan suppressed the purple-scaled dragon by herself, but now the purple-scaled dragon is ready to move. Once it breaks out of the seal and causes trouble, the whole village will die.
The village was not originally so small, but now there are only about a hundred households left. Year after year, the young people who left never returned, leaving only the old and frail old people who insisted on staying alone.
They are unwilling to leave their ancestral land, saying they are reluctant to leave their home, but in fact they are reluctant to leave their roots.
In other words, knowing that there is nowhere to go, you can only stay where you are.
Xie Lingyan looked at a group of monks in the distance still scrambling to grab the magic weapon.
These people don't know that the magical weapons hidden here are not within their control.
Divine magic weapon.
It's difficult for ordinary monks to control it, and even if they do get it, they can't keep it.
Once someone stronger than him takes action, they will not even think about seizing the treasure, for fear of not being able to save their lives.
Moreover, the so-called holy magic weapon is just an inconspicuous peach wood stick.
Yes, sticks.
When Xie Lingyan picked up the stick, she threw it into the fire as firewood, but found that the fire could not burn it, so she took it out and studied it.
Later, I took it to the upper world and showed Xiao Shengxuan what it was.
Xiao Shengxuan said that this was a wooden stick that could break through the sky, but Xie Lingyan didn't believe it. She found that Xiao Shenzun was very good at carving all kinds of wood, so she asked him to carve some beautiful patterns on the peach wood stick.
Xiao Shengxuan agreed and also gave some Taoist divine power, so the power of the wooden stick was even greater.
Later, Xie Lingyan solved the flood in Banbu City. After investigation, she found out that the purple-scaled dragon was causing trouble, so she used a peach wood stick to suppress it.
As for why people in the village are not allowed to move out, firstly, most people live by the river, and the nearby land is fertile and the food is high-yield.
