Yu Qinggong and Mo Guyuan stared at the old village chief, seeing that his expression was moved, and the tears running down his wrinkled face looked so weak, and even disappeared into the crevices of the wrinkles before they dripped.
"These are all sad things. Village chief, don't think about it. I'll take care of the rest." After a while, shopkeeper Tong took the lead. Seeing this, Mo Guyuan and the other two nodded gently towards the village chief. He nodded and started to follow.
In the back, the village chief stood motionless, leaning on a wooden cane, like a vicissitudes of apricot tree that has survived forever in Xinghua Village.
"It seems that the village chief must have remembered something sad." Yu Qinggong murmured.
Shopkeeper Tong led the two of them towards the village. When passing one of the three arch bridges in the downstream area, he pointed to the middle arch bridge and said, "With the help of Jiang Chen that year, the little girl who was rescued was actually the real person." It's just a dragon, but it was unconscious in the upper reaches and did not activate its spiritual intelligence. It was only after two years in the village that its spiritual intelligence began to awaken. This is why the girl can speak and her personality has changed drastically."
"According to this, the monster dragon not only showed no gratitude, but also killed Jiang Chen's family?" Yu Qinggong asked curiously.
Shopkeeper Tong nodded and said, "That's right. In the past, this dragon temporarily stayed at Jiang Chen's house and already had some selfish intentions towards Jiang Chen's parents. I didn't know about it at first. After the dragon successfully crossed the river, He actually went directly to Jiang Chen's home and ate up all the essence and blood of his parents. When Jiang Chen rushed home, he only saw his parents died tragically at the hands of the evil dragon. The scene was too horrific to watch. It was also waiting for me to come back. Only then did she discover that as early as two years ago, this evil dragon had unknowingly planted a secret method in the bodies of Jiang Chen's parents. Its purpose was to use the physical essence of Jiang Chen's parents to trap the demon elixir in her body. , when Jiang Chen steals the iron sword under the three arch bridges, allowing the evil dragon to escape, he will naturally come back and take the lives of his parents, in order to take back her demon elixir and boost his cultivation."
Both of them heard the same thing. How could such a careful thought have been laid out from the very beginning?
Mo Guyuan pondered for a moment and said truthfully, "As far as I know, all the monsters that walk in the rivers and swamps in the world are themselves a way of training to train themselves and improve their cultivation. Because of this, it is easy to cause a series of floods and natural disasters. This is one of the reasons why the ancients hung swords under the bridge. Even so, the dragon definitely knew this, but why did Jiang Chen steal the three swords? Why did she fly to Jiang Chen's home to kill his parents when the Iron Sword was coming? If she wanted to take back the demon pill, why would she take a mortal life? You must know that her trip to the river to fill the river had caused strange phenomena several times. If she committed another murder, , I feel that due to the cycle of nature, her final result may not be much better."
As soon as these words came out, shopkeeper Tong, who was thinking a lot, was suddenly startled. He blinked and suddenly frowned. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to think that what Mo Guyuan said made some sense.
"Young Master Mo has thought of the key point, but I'm afraid no one but herself can figure out what the evil dragon is thinking."
"What happened next? Did that dragon suffer divine punishment?" Yu Qinggong asked.
Shopkeeper Tong showed bitterness on his face and shook his head, saying, "Earlier, I also heard rumors about mountains and rivers and monsters walking in the rivers. I am more aware of certain restrictions and heavenly ideals about the monsters walking in the rivers. Since that evil dragon is like this If you do it, you will naturally face the punishment of God. It is strange to say that since that night, there is no trace of the evil dragon in the entire Xinghua Village. I have also inquired about it in private, including the people surrounding Xinghua Village. On the four hills surrounding Hanamura, no one found any trace of this evil dragon, as it seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.”
"Could it be that after the dragon successfully crossed the river, his Taoist practice increased greatly, so you didn't notice it after escaping from the mountain?" Yu Qinggong asked.
Shopkeeper Tong shook his head and said seriously, "How can a dragon snake that has just transformed into a spiritual intelligence escape from my pursuit? Moreover, even if she has a way to avoid my search, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from the palm of the three mountains." My disciples, Xinghua Village is right under their noses, such a big change has happened, even the slightest disturbance will receive the message."
Mo Guyuan smiled and said, "But didn't she disappear out of thin air under your noses? Or is it that shopkeeper Tong believes in the fate of heaven, and that dragon
The dragon has been secretly killed by heaven? "
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Tong was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. After a while, he could only sigh bitterly and said, "It's not that I haven't inquired about it in the past few years, but within a radius of 500 miles in the north, there is only Xinghua Village." For such a small mortal village, if the evil dragon really escaped, I would surely have received the news. However, after so many years, Xinghua Village has gradually returned to its former vitality, no longer the same as before. As time goes by, everyone will slowly Please put this matter aside."
After hearing what Shopkeeper Tong said in such detail, Mo Guyuan finally understood the twists and turns, and now he gave a helpless smile and said, "Everyone does not include Jiang Chen."
Shopkeeper Tong's eyes darkened and said, "I don't blame the child. After all, I witnessed the tragic death of my parents. It's good that I haven't gone crazy these years. Fortunately, he has been guarding this Guanhe River. As long as there is a slight disturbance, everything will be attacked. Then The dragon-slaying sword you encountered under the arch bridge was the one I brought back from the mountain gate."
The two of them understood clearly, and at the same time they also understood why Jiang Chen became so sensitive and caring. For so many years, he was probably waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to avenge his parents. It's just that this time the two of them stumbled into this place by mistake, and a series of strange phenomena were triggered because of Yu Qinggong walking into the river. This also led to why Jiang Chen had ill intentions towards the two of them. Thinking back to that time, the young man should have done the same. A kind-hearted child.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, just let it go. As long as the boy no longer maliciously troubles us, we won't have anything to argue with him." Yu Qinggong said openly.
Shopkeeper Tong nodded, and then looked around. Unknowingly, several people had arrived at Xinghua Village. At this time, there were many people swaying around, all packing their belongings and preparing to move here. The villagers who had just returned heard that It is said that the water flowing into the river is high in the upper reaches, and there is a risk of flooding in the lower reaches.
After the shopkeeper Tong settled the villagers, he told the villagers that there was no need to worry. This flash flood was caused by some accidents and would not be out of control like it was many years ago. He just advised everyone to have nothing to do in the past few days. Just go upstream and farm.
Mo Guyuan was watching every move of Shopkeeper Tong. After the villagers retreated with peace of mind, he stepped forward and smiled at him and said, "It seems that Shopkeeper Tong is very popular in Xinghua Village. I think the villagers Not only do they trust you, they are also very happy with you.”
Shopkeeper Tong grinned, with a sincere look on his face, and said, "That's because I came from Xinghua Village. Before I officially joined Luojia Mountain, Xinghua Village was the place where I was born and raised. But compared to these As far as the villagers are concerned, I am definitely older than them, even the village chief of Xinghua Village is considered my junior, because my appearance has not changed much since I went to the mountain to practice."
Mo Guyuan and Yu Qingqing were stunned. If shopkeeper Tong hadn't said it himself, they would never have imagined that shopkeeper Tong was from Xinghua Village.
"I see. It seems that Shopkeeper Tong is really a master of the world, and he doesn't show off his mountains and rivers." Yu Qinggong raised the corner of his mouth and said suddenly.
Mo Guyuan naturally understood this, but he did not explain anything. As for shopkeeper Tong, he laughed at this sentence and said nothing more.
Under the eaves of the heavy rain that day, several people saw him and the owner of Tianhong Valley standing side by side, and they seemed to be old acquaintances.
"Now that we have arrived at Xinghua Village, if you two young heroes are not in a hurry to go back, you can ask me to be your host. I still have a thatched cottage here for you two to tidy up." Shopkeeper Tong still looked kindly. smiled.
Yu Qinggong glanced at Mo Guyuan and asked through a message, "Since there is nothing going on here, we have to go back first. Yu Nie Luokui and the others haven't arrived yet, so they might not be able to find the way, right?"
Mo Guyuan was unmoved and kept following the villagers in Xinghua Village. After a moment, he bluntly asked shopkeeper Tong, "I wonder if shopkeeper Tong can give me an answer about this vision of my friend walking into the river. Mingming Yu The girl did not cannibalize the water transport of the irrigation river, but instead used her own way to feed the irrigation water. In the end, it still caused the irrigation of the river, roaring mountain torrents, and almost caused a catastrophe. If so, wouldn't it mean that she would not be able to do anything meaningful in the future? "
Shopkeeper Tong, who was walking in front, stopped and said without looking back, "Young Master Mo, I have no comment."
Mo Guyuan was stunned
, looking at Shopkeeper Tong’s back, he was frozen in place and didn’t know what to say.
Perhaps thinking of something, Shopkeeper Tong turned around and said to the two of them after staying for a moment, "I think you two are extraordinary people. Since Master Liu Valley came out of the mountain to see you earlier, he must have some deep meaning. As for Xinghua Village, I advise you two young heroes not to worry about the vision. You must have noticed the creation of heaven and earth here. I believe that the vision caused by this girl walking into the river was unintentional. In the end, everything will be fine. Don’t worry, the Guanhe River in Xinghua Village is rare in the world. If you go to other mountains and rivers in the future, it will not be a problem to provide some water transport back, and the same situation as Guanhe River will not happen.”
After hearing what Shopkeeper Tong said, the two people's hearts became clear. It seemed that the historical inheritance of Xinghua Village must have some kind of protection or restriction.
"That's all. The province's good intentions turned out to be bad. I would like to thank shopkeeper Tong for your help. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the misunderstanding between us and the villagers would have been unclear for a while. As for taking a rest, there's no need. We still have two friends waiting outside the mountain, so we should go back first." Mo Guyuan cupped his fists and said politely to Shopkeeper Tong.
Seeing this, shopkeeper Tong had no intention of holding back. He just nodded to the two of them. Just as he was about to tell them the route to leave, suddenly the mountains shook and the earth collapsed. The direction was the upper reaches of Guanhe River. .
A scene of huge water rising up and gushing out from the mouth of the dragon head on the mountainside. The water curtain was so huge that it blocked the sky and the sun. It seemed that if it fell, it could swallow up the entire Xinghua Village.
"It's really you!" A roar came from behind.
Mo Guyuan looked back and saw Jiang Chen, with red eyes, staring at the figure above the water.
There, a voluptuous and graceful woman was swimming in the water, with three thousand silver threads flying like snow, and she was extremely beautiful.
"We haven't seen each other for ten years, but you recognize me immediately. How much do you miss me?" In everyone's ears, there was a sweet and sweet voice.
