After experiencing the violent storm before, Xinghua Village is now in a bleak and messy state. This paradise, which was supposed to be a good time for spring, was flooded by the surge. All the areas close to both sides of the Guan River were submerged by the flood. Only the slightly higher locations barely survived. .
That night, Ning was forced to leave Xinghua Village because of Jiang Chen's threat with the dragon-slaying sword. Later, he was split open by Jiang Chen with his sword. The water from the sky retreated into the river. At this point, Xinghua Village was saved from being flooded. crisis.
But even so, Xinghua Village was unable to discharge the flood quickly in a short period of time. The three arch bridges connecting the two sides of the irrigation water were still hidden under the water. The water surface looked rough and mighty, pouring straight into the distance.
Mo Guyuan came over with his sword alone, and first flew around the Guanhe River. After seeing that the water level in it was slowly declining, he also breathed a sigh of relief. If the flood were to continue to rise unbridled, I'm afraid this would happen. Xinghua Village will disappear into the long river of history before Wan Ning is destroyed.
Soon, due to Mo Guyuan's arrival, some villagers discovered his traces. Many villagers still had fresh memories of this young man who helped everyone in the village. If he hadn't helped out in time, Xinghua Village would have been destroyed in that moment. He had been destroyed by the flood from the sky long ago, but during this period, this man still acted righteously to help everyone open the blocked road. He can be said to be a great benefactor of Xinghua Village.
"Look, it's the benefactor!" Someone pointed to the sky and shouted. The sound quickly attracted the attention of a large number of villagers. Everyone looked up and saw that the person who came was indeed the young hero from that day, so many people waved their hands and shouted.
"What a benefactor! My benefactor has come back to see us again. Look, everyone." Mo Guyuan, who was passing by with his sword, turned around and listened to the enthusiastic calls of the villagers below. The figure standing on the Xuanyuan Sword paused slightly, and then spun around in a roundabout way. , falling towards the bottom.
As soon as Mo Guyuan landed, a group of villagers quickly gathered around him. Everyone smiled happily, greeted Mo Guyuan with greetings, and showed great concern. Especially when they saw Mo Guyuan's chivalrous and immortal aura, they felt more and more that this person was The Xianjia sects from the surrounding mountains came to save him.
"Benefactor, you must help us this time. The floodwaters in the Guanhe River have surged, and our homes have been flooded. If the tide does not recede in time, we will be homeless." Someone sobbed.
"Yes, our ancestors in Xinghua Village have lived here for generations, but we can't let it go to waste in our hands. If this flood doesn't go away for a day, it will be difficult for us to sleep. We also hope that our benefactors will do their best to the end. Please help us. Come on." Someone else followed closely and said deeply.
After he finished speaking, before Mo Guyuan could react, a large number of villagers leaned towards Mo Guyuan, saluted and begged him. This left Mo Guyuan at a loss and full of helplessness.
The crowd was roaring and chattering. Mo Guyuan looked around and comforted the villagers in front of him. Fortunately, not long after, a thumping sound was heard from behind the crowd.
Mo Guyuan took the opportunity to look up, his eyes suddenly brightened, he raised his hand, shook it towards the front, and shouted with a smile
"Village Chief." When the villagers saw that the village chief was coming in person, they all retreated to a small path. After this period of trekking, the old village chief's figure became more and more stooped. He hobbled step by step on crutches. , there were wrinkles in the corners of his eyes. The moment he saw Mo Guyuan, he suddenly straightened his back, looked directly at Mo Guyuan, and said deeply in his mouth
"Young Master Mo, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Thanks to your generosity in saving Xinghua Village, Xinghua Village was able to survive. On behalf of all the villagers in Xinghua Village, I would like to express my gratitude to Young Master Mo." After saying this, the old village chief slowly lowered his head. , expressed his gratitude to Mo Guyuan very solemnly.
This move made Mo Guyuan frightened, and he quickly stretched out his hand to help him up, saying
"The village chief can't help me. I am a cultivator on the mountain. I was born outside the world. I should do chivalry and do my duty. There is no need for this." The old village chief held his crutch with one hand and took a deep breath.
"That day, the sky was filled with floods. I thought our Xinghua Village was really going to be doomed. Fortunately, Young Master Mo and your friend helped us tide over the difficulties. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will never forget it." Gu Yuan shook his head and said
"I was in such a hurry to leave that day. I wonder if the flood will fall later?" The village chief twisted his beard and smiled and said.
"No way, if the flood really fell, you wouldn't be able to see me now. Later, thanks to that child Jiang Chen, I didn't expect that this child actually knew some mountain Taoism. The dragon-slaying sword that Yixian brought back from Luojia Mountain It can actually be used by him." Mo Guyuan's heart jumped, and it turned out that shopkeeper Tong's real name was Tong Yixian.
"Jiang Chen? But that orphan whose family was killed by a dragon?" Mo Guyuan asked casually. The old village chief nodded and said
"That's right, it was the poor child. Some villagers saw Jiang Chen holding the dragon-slaying sword and splitting the water from the sky, causing it to fall into the Guanhe River. This was how our village escaped." Mo Guyuan He frowned slightly. When the situation was urgent, he didn't pay too much attention to the young man after escorting the villagers away. The only thing that left a deep impression on him was that he begged him to kill Wan Ning, but later, for some unknown reason, he was able to control the beheading. The dragon sword can also stimulate the power of the dragon-slaying sword.
"So, that young man is really impressive." The old village chief was very happy. He seemed to be in a good mood because his village had such a genius. He said with a smile.
"I used to think that this kid had a bit of a bad temper, acted recklessly, and didn't listen to advice, but everyone just thought that Jiang Chen had a sudden change in his family since he was a child, and his temperament changed drastically due to the death of his parents. I didn't expect that after all these years of working hard, he would actually have such a bad temper. You can arm-wrestle with monsters, you are really scary." Mo Guyuan asked subconsciously
"I wonder if the village chief knows where Jiang Chen learned this technique?" The old village chief was stunned, shook his head in confusion, and said
"I don't know about this. Tong Yixian used to come back to the village to visit everyone every once in a while. Do you think it's possible that Yixian taught it to Jiang Chen in private?" At this point, the old village chief suddenly remembered something. Then he asked again
"By the way, Young Master Mo, that day when Jiaolong Yushui came to attack, I remember that Yixian was also in Xinghua Village. I wonder if he was with you later?" Mo Guyuan's face was startled. After thinking about the truth about the death of shopkeeper Tong, he still It’s better to hide it in my heart for the time being, so I opened my mouth and said
"In order to protect Xinghua Village that day, Immortal Tong specifically told the younger generation that he first asked me to stop Jiaolong's actions, and then he went back to inform the mountain gate, so that Xinghua Village could completely survive this disaster." The old village chief Hearing this, his face lit up with joy. Now that Xinghua Village is in ruins, it really needs help with reconstruction. If Yixian can really ask the gods on the mountain to help, I am afraid that the flood that has overflowed the river embankments on both sides will be solved quickly. .
As soon as he thought of this, the old village chief was happy and said with a smile
"Yixian was favored by the Immortal Family back then, and he has been cultivating in Luojia Mountain ever since. However, he would still come down to our village from time to time during festivals. After all, he came from our village a long time ago. One time he and I He drank too much, and I heard from him that he knew my grandfather's grandfather. At that time, I thought Yixian was just drunken nonsense, but later I found out that the immortal on the mountain has endless magic power and that it is not a strange thing to live for thousands of years." Mo Guyuan did not comment, just nodded and agreed.
"After all, he is a cultivator, so he is naturally a little different." The old village chief pulled Mo Guyuan over and said with a smile.
"Since my benefactor has come to our Xinghua Village, and Yixian has gone to Luojia Mountain to ask for help, if you have nothing to do right now, you might as well go home with me and have a drink, so that I can express my gratitude to Young Master Mo on behalf of the villagers." Mo Guyuan He nodded and thought for a while. The top priority now was to find out about Jiang Chen's deeds as soon as possible. There was no way to stay here and be surrounded by everyone. Seeing the village chief speak, Mo Guyuan stopped refusing and took advantage of the situation to talk to the old man. The village chief walked out together.
Walking along the way, circling along the path and turning a few small bends in the mountains, a unique bamboo house suddenly came into view. After the old village chief introduced Mo Guyuan into the house, he took care of himself and tidied it up. , quickly brought a bottle of sake and a few stacks of side dishes.
"Can Young Master Mo know how to drink?"
"It's okay to have a drink." Since Mo Guyuan learned to drink in Qingyun Town, he has not been drunk in the past two years. Most of the time, he accompanied Yu Nie to drink together, just to relieve his boredom and chat.
The village chief drank a glass of turbid wine, clicked his tongue twice, shook his head leisurely, and looked satisfied. It seemed that as long as he had wine to drink, he could put it behind him for the time being. Considering the current situation of Xinghua Village, he was really old. Be open-minded.
Mo Guyuan saw that the village chief was getting more and more drunk, and he was afraid that he would get drunk while enjoying himself, so he had a drink with him and said casually:
"Village Chief, you and I walked half a circle around the village earlier, and I don't think I saw Jiang Chen." The village chief waved his hand and said
"Jiang Chen's kid has gone to Guanhe. He probably won't be back for a while. Naturally, you won't see him in the village."
"Went to Guanhe? But I just came from Guanhe before. The water surface of Guanhe was so turbulent that even the three arch bridges were swallowed up by the flood. Wouldn't it be dangerous for Jiang Chen to go there rashly?" Mo Guyuan said curiously.
The old village chief didn't pay any attention to what Mo Guyuan said and said directly
"I would have been worried before, but Young Master Mo, you have forgotten that Jiang Chen is now a master of Taoism on the mountain. Even the dragon-slaying sword can be used by him. What can the water in the river do?" Mo Guyuan Du Ran, if the Dragon-Slaying Sword can split even water, then it won't be difficult for him to go deep into it. But what makes him puzzled is who Jiang Chen is and why he looks weird.
Thinking of this, Mo Guyuan put down the wine glass in his hand, moved closer to the village chief, and asked in a low voice
"Jiang Chen has lived in Xinghua Village since he was a child. His parents died tragically at the hands of Jiaolong. I wonder if the village chief saw it with his own eyes?"
"No way, the Guanhe River surged back then was exactly the same as today. Jiang Chen came home and saw with his own eyes that the girl turned into a dragon and killed his parents. Didn't Yixian chase him out later? It's just a pity that the monster escaped. Otherwise, our village will not make the same mistake this time." The old village chief sighed after swallowing the wine in his glass.
