Hearing this, Ye Yingling frowned slightly and said coldly: "Come out first, don't hide in there."
After Ye Yingling finished speaking, the man in the pit began to crawl out. After splashing a lot of sand, a middle-aged man in ragged clothes stood in front of Ye Yingling.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Ye Yinling asked after sensing the ragged man and finding that he had only a meager amount of energy.
"My name is Qin An, and I am from the nearby Qinjialing. I am here because our Qinjialing has been experiencing drought for half a year.
In the past six months, our several wells in Qinjialing have had no water at all. We can only rely on a small river flowing through our Qinjialing to get water. But as the drought becomes more serious, the small river will also dry up.
We had asked people to report this matter to Yuyang City, and Yuyang City also sent people to investigate, but it was just an investigation. The reason was not found, and the people from Yuyang City left. We are in this drought,
I persisted for half a year.
At first, everyone could barely hold on, but as time went by, many people starved to death, and more people couldn't hold on and began to flee outside.
But where can we escape? This drought is not just in Qinjialing, but all villages and towns, large and small, within hundreds of miles are suffering from drought. We can only choose to escape to
Yuyang City, or escape to a more distant place.
However, there are still many people who have been sticking to their hometowns and refusing to leave. Moreover, Yuyang City has been very strict recently, prohibiting non-city residents from entering, so we can only stay in Qinjialing.
Then seven days ago, our small river in Qinjialing completely dried up, without a drop of water left, and lost its water source. In just a few days, many people died because of this.
For this reason, we in Qinjialing can only send some skilled people to draw water from the Chuiyu River. However, in the past six months, many strange things have happened in the Chuiyu River. As long as anyone goes to draw water from the Chuiyu River, they will drown.
We only sent people there as a last resort.
The final result was the same. None of the dozen or so strong men who went there came back, and the entire Qinjialing fell into despair. Finally, three days ago, we met a savior!"
Qin An's tone suddenly became excited, and he paused and continued: "Three days ago, a wandering Taoist gave us a fortune telling in Qinjialing and told us that a master will pass by this plain in three days. As long as
If Master is willing to take action, our drought problem in Qinjialing will be solved."
Ye Yingling kept listening to Qin An's words. She didn't speak until Qin An finished speaking: "You mean a wandering Taoist told you that a master will pass through this plain in three days? It's funny, this plain is so big.
, I don’t know how many people pass by here every day, and just based on that person’s nonsense, how dare you be sure that we are the master?”
"Master, what I said is true. That Taoist wanderer is not an ordinary person. When he came to Qinjialing, he forced water to grow in a dry well. If not, how could we do it?
Will believe him." Qin An explained quickly.
"He has such miraculous abilities, why don't you let them help you solve the drought and come here to find us?" Ye Yingling was very disdainful of this statement.
"The Taoist priest said that his Taoism was limited and could do nothing, but he left us something, saying that if I bury this thing on this plain, when the guru comes, the thing will work, and the guru will appear in my
In front of me. Now you appear in front of me. That thing must have played a role in bringing the master to me!" Qin An's body was shaking with excitement.
"Did you cause the earthquake just now? Tell me quickly, what did Taoist You Fang give you, and where is Taoist You Fang now!" Ye Yingling's expression changed and she asked coldly.
She said, if she hadn't really determined that Qin An only had the strength of the primary level of inducing qi, she would have captured Qin An by now.
"I, I don't know where the Taoist priest went. After the Taoist priest left things to us, the Taoist priest left. I was sent here because I am one of the only remaining warriors among the people who stayed.
I buried the things the Taoist gave me in the center of the plain. If Master needs it, I will take you there to see it now."
Seeing that Ye Yingling was angry, Qin An looked nervous and began to explain quickly.
But before Ye Yingling could move, a burnt black object fell beside her, and Zhang Yongxu walked out.
"Junior sister, I heard it all. I dug this thing out from the center of the plain. It should be what the Taoist left behind."
Ye Yingling looked down and saw that there was an extra thing next to her foot. It looked like a tentacle, but it was completely burnt black.
"This, this is different from what the master gave me. What the master gave me was a black square box. How could it be such a strange thing?" Qin An pointed at the thing on the ground and said in disbelief.
Ye Yingling and Zhang Yongxu looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do.
Just when the two were hesitating, a voice echoed in their ears.
"This man is not lying. These are the only things he knows. Let's go to Qinjialing."
This voice was that of Elder Ma. It was not until she heard this voice that Ye Yingling put away her sword.
Zhang Yongxu lowered his body, put away the burnt black tentacles, and then said to Qin An: "Follow us first, and then lead the way to Qinjialing."
"Thank you, Master, thank you Master!" After hearing the two people's agreement, Qin An was so excited that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed. He believed extremely in what Taoist You Fang had said.
"Don't waste time, let's go."
When Yang Ze and the others saw Ye Yingling coming back, they also saw Zhang Yongxu and Qin An beside Ye Yingling.
"Something happened. We need this person to take us to Qinjialing. Everyone, get in the car and we are ready to leave." As soon as he appeared, Zhang Yongxu explained the matter clearly to everyone.
Yang Ze in the carriage heard the name Qinjialing, felt vaguely familiar, and began to search his memory.
Seeing his appearance, Lu Qing and Bai Lun did not disturb him. It was not until the carriage started moving again that Yang Ze suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "I thought about why I know this place Qinjialing."
