On the bank of the water, the two of them stood on one side. After arranging their clothes, Mo Guyuan took the lead to look around. The surroundings were filled with beautiful pink and white flowers, colorful purples and reds, and the fragrance of apricot blossoms filled his nostrils.
"I don't know how long we stayed in the Dragon King's Pouch. It floated down the river and happened to be stranded here. It seems that we should still be in Xinghua Village." Mo Guyuan said slowly.
Yu Qing's face was still a little red. She did not look at Mo Guyuan, but walked to an apricot tree, sniffed it gently, and said with a smile, "The apricot trees here are particularly clear and pleasant. She’s so good-looking.”
A cloud of colorful smoke floated out from Yu Qinggong's sleeves, and then came to her side and said, "The aura of heaven and earth here is particularly abundant. Even the water-filled river flowing through this place makes me feel unusual. What do you want to say?" This apricot tree is overflowing with fragrance, and that makes sense.”
Mo Guyuan walked closer, and after pondering for a moment, he told Mian Mianyun and Yu Qinggong the secrets he heard from the villagers under the stone bridge, assuming that some ulterior secrets had happened here.
"In this case, there must have been some water monsters in this irrigation water who came here to cross the river, and the result was the same accident as us. However, the villagers at that time should have extended a helping hand and did not save them, but I didn't expect that in the end The result was that the water monster harmed the village, right?" Yu Qingqing blinked and asked curiously.
Mo Guyuan thought for a while and said, "If I heard their conversation under the water, the general content is this. As for the specific details, I'm afraid only the villagers themselves know."
The cotton cloud floated over in a flash, and said with a bit of surprise, "I have nothing to do anyway, so why don't we go visit Xinghua Village. From the moment we walked along the river, I noticed that there seemed to be some kind of barrier covering the clouds here. The barrier makes the spiritual power here grow strong and the mountains and rivers are beautiful."
Mo Guyuan waved his hand and refused directly, saying, "Since we know that everything here is weird, how can we go into danger alone? Don't forget that we almost lost our lives just now."
Mian Mian Yun pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "You are trying to burn bridges. You promised me that if I encounter the rainbow spiritual energy of mountains and rivers in the future, I will eat it to my heart's content. Are you going to break your promise so soon?"
Mo Guyuan looked sideways at Mianmian Yun and said, "Are you sure there is rainbow spiritual energy hidden here?"
Mian Mianyun nodded desperately and said, "Think about it, the spiritual energy space here has been blocked, and someone has set up a formation here, so that the spiritual energy in the world of Xinghua Village continues to grow but cannot leak out, and the villagers here They are ordinary mortals and do not know how to breathe and practice. This Xinghua Village has a long history and has been passed down for thousands of years without decay. There are even three sects of cultivating immortals nearby. Doesn’t all this mean that there must be some kind of mystery hidden in Xinghua Village? ?」
Mo Guyuan thought about it carefully for a while, and realized that what Mian Mianyun said was not unreasonable. When he climbed up to Shijiang Mountain, he himself also noticed that this place was unusual. However, he did not study the details specifically and just thought it was Xinghua Village. It is protected by the ancients and cared for by the predecessors.
"Having said that, I always feel that the weirdness here is not something we can handle. After all, there is a dragon-slaying sword hanging under the stone bridge. This is something that has never happened before when I asked the fish girl to walk all the way across the river. I had only read about it in books before, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it still scares me." Mo Guyuan said worriedly.
On the side, Yu Qingqing saw a look of remorse on Mo Guyuan's face, and was deeply afraid that he would complain and blame himself, so he immediately said, "I often walk by the river, how can I not keep my shoes wet? I thought I would never encounter this before. It was a rare occasion for us to walk across the river in a place where mortals live, so as not to cause accidents and cause trouble to the local people. Now that I think about it carefully, most of my journey along the river was in the wild mountains, rivers and lakes, so earlier I just came to Xishan in Nian, so I went a little closer to Zhenhun Village."
Mo Guyuan looked at Yu Qinggong and thought about it for a moment. This was indeed the case.
On the side, Mian Mianyun intervened at the right time and said, "About this, I must know better than you. Don't forget that I am Lord Dragon God's personal pet."
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered something. Among them, Yu Qinggong suddenly realized and said, "Yes, you are all the people around the Dragon God, and I am running to go to Jianghualong. You quickly say, this What is the difference between hanging a sword under a bridge? Sister Ling told me before that it is a way for ordinary people to protect themselves.
Put the village in danger and persecution. "
Mian Mianyun rolled his eyes, then nodded, and said, "You are right, but it is just one of the ways to say it. In ancient times, many villages and tribes had the habit of hanging swords under bridges for the purpose of raising money. To a certain degree of deterrence, the river monsters in the water will not be allowed to cause trouble and cause wanton destruction, so as not to put the lives of the people living in the surrounding areas in danger."
Mo Guyuan nodded and said, "There used to be such a custom in our hometown, it's true."
Mian Mianyun continued, "It's just that more people followed suit later, and their effectiveness was not as good as before. Especially the iron swords made by ordinary people who smelted steel and forged iron have no lethality against water monsters, especially against mountains and rivers." For the monsters in Nozawa's river, they are nothing more than decorations."
An idea flashed in Yu Qingqing's mind, and he exclaimed, "So that's why we got the Dragon-Slaying Sword?"
"Yes, the Dragon-Slaying Sword is a sword-training method specially taught to mortals by military monks in order to protect mortals. However, the Dragon-Slaying Sword was only aimed at the dragons of the Zoujiang genus, because the dragons themselves also have a certain dragon bloodline, but they The emergence of rivers, lakes and seas often brings huge disasters to people, so in villages that rely on water, local people will hang a dragon-slaying sword under the bridge to prevent dragons and water monsters from harming them."
"It's just that it's extremely difficult to forge a Dragon-Slaying Sword. There are specific requirements for the materials and methods involved, as well as time and heat. I saw the Dragon-Slaying Sword under the Xinghua Village Bridge before, although it was rusty on the outside. The moment he revealed his edge, he was invincible. It seems that this dragon-slaying sword must have been made by an expert himself, so it is full of murderous intent." When Mian Mianyun said the last word, his expression became a little more cautious.
Yu Qinggong and Mo Guyuan naturally have a deep understanding of it, especially Yu Qinggong, who is a member of the Shuize Demon genus. When he saw the dragon-slaying sword attacking him, he relied on his cultivation in the God Transformation Realm. She actually had the idea of blocking the car with her arms, which made her feel frightened and frightened. It seems that not only does the Dragon-Slaying Sword suppress Zuojiang's attributes, but even the forging of the sword itself has certain supernatural powers.
Mo Guyuan remembered every word Mian Mian Yun said in his heart. After hearing it half-understood, he suddenly asked it, "According to what you said, it was because the ordinary iron sword could not deter the water monster walking on the river, so it was created." Later, the Dragon-Slaying Sword was not easy to forge. How could it be popularized on a large scale? The sky is vast, with countless mountains, rivers and lakes, many of which are surrounded by villages surrounded by mountains and rivers. Even if the military monks would use the Dragon-Slaying Sword The forging method tells the world that the material of the dragon-slaying sword is rare and rare, where can I find it?"
Mian Mianyun shrugged and said, "I don't know this, but I heard some allusions from the Division of Reincarnation about the Dragon-Slaying Sword earlier, and this involves another explanation of the Dragon-Slaying Sword."
The two were shocked when they heard it, and immediately listened.
"In ancient times, the dragon-slaying sword was mainly used to ward off evil spirits. At that time, when the ancient people built large-scale construction projects, they would disturb the snake gods and ghosts underground. In order to punish the people for their offense and disturbance, these snake gods and ghosts began to maliciously slander the local people and eat away at them. Their essence and blood vitality made them weak and sick, and they were unable to build civil engineering projects. At first, people didn't know the reason. Later, someone knowledgeable told them that when building a bridge, they needed to drive piles, which meant that they needed to find A pair of boys and girls, the boy was buried with his head down at the head of the bridge, and the girl was buried at the end of the bridge. The boy and girl's lives were used as sacrifices to the ghosts. With the sacrifice, those snakes, gods and ghosts would not do evil and just stop doing it." Mian Mianyun said. .five
Upon hearing this, both of their faces were filled with unbelievable shock. Human sacrifice was already unacceptable, let alone the use of boys and girls.
"Is it possible that someone really agreed to do something that goes against the laws of nature?" Yu Qinggong asked.
Mian Mianyun spread his hands and said bluntly, "It's hard to say. Some people may be willing to do it for their own selfish interests. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people will not agree. After all, it is easy to find boys and girls in a village, but you have to put yourself If you take the child out and bury it alive, no one will agree."
Mo Guyuan nodded and said, "So it was the military strategists who took action later. They perfected the Dragon-Slaying Sword. It can not only ward off evil spirits, but also deter monsters walking across the river. It can kill multiple people with one move. This is how the true face of the Dragon-Slaying Sword has been spread throughout the world." World."
"That's right, it's just my opinion
The Dragon-Slaying Sword in Xinghua Village was extraordinary. It might even have been forged by an expert in the military strategist's hands. This made the Dragon-Slaying Sword extremely powerful and had a three-foot hidden edge. "
After hearing this, Mo Guyuan suddenly thought of everything about Xinghua Village. Could it be that the ancient man who protected and guarded Xinghua Village was this military monk?
Just as Mo Guyuan was thinking about it, an exclamation sounded from the river bank.
"They're here!"
Mo Guyuan and Yu Qinggong turned around and saw a villager calling loudly across the river with all his strength, and then summoned a large number of villagers from Xinghua Village.
"Damn it, are they still trying to kill them all?" Mian Qianyun said angrily.
Mo Guyuan and Yu Qingqing didn't want to cause trouble, so they grabbed the cotton cloud and turned around to hide deep in the forest.
Upon seeing this, a large group of villagers rushed towards the apricot blossom forest. One of them, a domineering young man, was even more angry. It was Jiang Chen who took the lead in making noise on the bridge that day.
"Uncle Li got up early today to hoe the fields, and the upper reaches of the irrigation water were swallowed up by the flood. It seems that the water monster must have done evil before. If we catch them, they must pay the price." Jiang Chen clenched his fists and said bitterly.
