At this time, the sky is a bit dark, as if there are dark clouds about to cover the sky.
Shiwawa raised his head and looked at the sky, and finally said: "The wind is going to pick up, I'm going back. Do you want to go back to the village with me?"
Li Qiye smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "That's fine." After saying that, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The dark clouds in the sky quietly shrouded over, and they slowly expanded, as if they were living things. They seemed to be slowly sneaking into the weathered canyon.
When such dark clouds appear, those who are inexperienced or do not understand Feng Jie Canyon must not take it seriously, or think it is nothing special.
However, those who know the weathering canyon, or the strong monks who go in and out of the weathering canyon all year round, must know what is going to happen. They know that the wind is coming and the danger is coming.
At this time, the wisest thing to do is to either leave the Weathering Canyon immediately, or enter a village to hide, otherwise you will be buried here, no matter how powerful a monk you are.
In the Weathering Canyon, once the wind blows up, the weathering will definitely come. If you don’t hide, no matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to resist the power of the weathering. In the end, you will be weathered into a statue, and it will be broken into pieces the next day.
It turned into slag and sand and drifted away.
When the dark clouds rose in the sky, all the residents of the Weathering Canyon, whether they were men, women, old or young, human or stone people, hid in their own villages or the villages closest to them.
"The wind has picked up, go home quickly." Suddenly, many people in Fenghua Canyon shouted. Whether they were working out or doing other things, they immediately stopped what they were doing and hurried back to their villages.
in.
"Come quickly, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late." When Li Qiye was sitting there looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Shiwawa, who had already set off, looked back at Li Qiye and was busy urging Li Qiye. He couldn't help but worry about Li Qiye.
.
Li Qiye smiled, stood up and followed Shiwawa.
"What should I call you?" When Li Qiye and Shiwawa walked side by side, Shiwawa's pair of bright black eyes looked at Li Qiye.
"Young Master——" Li Qiye smiled and said casually.
"Okay." Shiwawa didn't think much about it or ponder it, and he agreed immediately.
Shiwawa's village was not far from here. With Shiwawa walking quickly and leading the way, they quickly returned to Shiwawa's village.
When we arrived at the village, the whole village was quiet, there was no movement, there was no sound of chickens crowing or dogs barking, and no one was walking around in the village.
When I first entered the village, I saw a stone pillar standing at the entrance of the village. This stone pillar was very tall, nearly ten feet tall. The entire stone pillar was engraved with mysterious runes that no one could understand.
Moreover, all the runes on the stone pillars are written in one go. Although there are hundreds or thousands of runes on the stone pillars, all the runes are written in one stroke, which means that all the runes are connected to each other.
At the same time, all the runes on the stone pillars were written from top to bottom, straight to the bottom, straight into the soil. It seemed that the runes followed the stone pillars and took root deep into the earth, like an invisible waterfall, rushing into the earth all at once.
deepest.
In Weathering Canyon, if you see such a stone pillar, it is not surprising at all, because in Weathering Canyon, all villages have such a stone pillar. If there is no such stone pillar, there is no way to build a stone pillar in Weathering Canyon.
Village.
In the Weathering Canyon, a stone pillar like this means that it is a village. Without such a stone pillar, no matter how powerful a person is, he will not be able to gain a foothold here, nor will he be able to establish a village or a sect here.
Looking at such a stone pillar, this was not the first time Li Qiye had seen it, and he couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
Walking into Shiwawa's village, the village is quite big, but the whole village is quiet and not a single person is seen.
In such a village, except for the two of them, there was no one else, especially when the sky was covered with dark clouds. Walking into such a village was more or less creepy.
Of course, such an atmosphere could not scare Li Qiye. Li Qiye strolled into the village.
In the village, the houses built all have the characteristics of a weathered canyon. Each house looks low, and each house is made of rocks.
In the middle of the village, there is a large statue. This statue looks like a humanoid statue. It looks like a tall man standing there, looking into the distance. His posture seems to be waiting.
What, it seems like he is guarding this village.
I don't know if it is because of its age, but this statue has lost its edges and corners, and its face cannot be clearly seen. I can only see that it is a statue with a humanoid outline.
There are several rocks near this statue. These rocks are placed around this statue. Each rock is different, with different sizes, shapes, and colors. Moreover, these rocks
The rocks have sunk into the ground to varying degrees, some have already sunk most of the way, and some have only just sunk in.
After returning to the village, Shiwa took Li Qiye to the statue. He bowed to the statue, then took out another stone, cut it open, and poured liquid green algae on the stones in front of the statue.
superior.
"Uncle, uncle, it's time to eat. Shiwawa pays homage to you." Shiwawa said seriously after pouring the liquid green algae on it.
When these words came out of Shiwawa's mouth, he seemed a little childish, but his demeanor also seemed mature. This appearance gave people the feeling that a child from a poor family had already become the master of the family.
When Shiwawa was doing this, Li Qiye just watched quietly from the side.
When Shiwawa finished doing these things, he pointed to the rock closest to him and said to Li Qiye: "This is my mother, this is my uncle, this is my uncle..." He put this
Each rock was introduced to Li Qiye one by one.
Every rock is different, but the stone doll remembers it clearly.
When Shiwawa introduced him, Li Qiye smiled and nodded slightly.
If you are someone who doesn’t know Wind Canyon, you will definitely be horrified when you hear this. These stones are either the stone doll’s mother or his elders. Such a thing seems too weird, especially at this time.
The sky has turned dark, making it even more eerie.
Of course, Li Qiye was not surprised at all, he just looked at the rocks in front of him casually.
"My father was the last person to leave me." Shiwawa was not sad at all. Instead, he was a little excited and told Li Qiye about his own affairs, saying: "My father still doesn't trust me alone, so he has stayed in this world...
…”
"...It wasn't until five years ago that my dad felt relieved, so he was completely petrified. My dad is more powerful than anyone else. He has the highest talent in our village. Although he was the last one to leave, he still
It has already sunk into the ground."
Such words made others sound a little creepy, as if they were talking about the death of their father. However, Shiwawa was not sad, but very excited.
In fact, for the stone people, there is nothing sad about returning to their ancestors. On the contrary, for the stone people themselves, returning to their ancestors is a very proud thing, a very happy thing, and also
A very glorious thing.
Because if you can completely return to your ancestors and sink into the ground and disappear, it means that you can return to your roots and exist in the world in another form.
Although this is not true immortality, it is another way to exist in the world.
For millions of years, sages from the Eight Wildernesses have said that when a person cannot live forever, there are two ways to make oneself exist in the world forever. One is to reproduce for future generations, and the other is to make one's reputation and career immortal.
However, the Stonemen chose the third way - returning to their ancestors, which was the path opened up by the Stone Ancestor.
Li Qiye looked at the rocks without much emotion. He just nodded. This is the choice of the Stonemen. It is not easy for others to evaluate or judge. Existence is the truth.
After Shiwawa introduced the rocks, Li Qiye looked at the statue.
Shiwawa also noticed that Li Qiye's attention was on this statue. He quickly said: "This is our ancestor. I heard from my father that this is the second generation ancestor."
"Is it a succession?" Li Qiye looked away from the statue and said.
"Yes." The stone doll looked at the statue with admiration and said, "I heard from my father that our first generation ancestors lived in the era of Stone Ancestor and were very powerful beings. Until a long time later,
A more powerful ancestor emerged in our village, taking over the responsibilities of the first generation ancestor..."
"... He has embarked on the road of semi-returning to his ancestors and stayed here, and the first generation ancestors will be completely petrified." At this point, the stone doll couldn't help but bow to this statue again.
One generation of ancestors follows another. This kind of rule is very common in Wind Canyon. Even on the stone plains, there are many semi-atavistic beings guarding their descendants.
It is precisely because of this that for millions of years, the Stone People have become fewer and fewer and more and more silent. However, few people have never dared to underestimate the Stone People.
Although the number of stone people is getting smaller and smaller, on the contrary, there are many semi-atavistic ancestors left in the world, and they possess very powerful power.
Therefore, for millions of years, even if some people think that the Stone People have declined, no one dares to underestimate the Stone People.
"Our ancestors are very powerful." The stone doll looked at the stone statue with admiration.
"It's not bad." Li Qiye looked at the stone statue and smiled.
