"What...what's going on?" Gu Yuan said subconsciously.
This was just an exclamation, and he didn't expect Kong Baihe next to him to give him any answer.
Gu Yuan knew that this stone statue of Master Mi Xian had a very special meaning to the Crescent Moon Fishing Village... no, to several nearby fishing villages. It was like their patron saint.
"Go back first." Kong Baihe said with a frown.
"Huh?" Gu Yuan was confused.
Kong Baihe sighed and said: "Melon fields and plum trees."
Gu Yuan suddenly understood, nodded, and left with Kong Baihe.
The cracks in the stone statue naturally have nothing to do with them, but if other people see it, it will inevitably cause some misunderstandings, especially the people of Crescent Fishing Village. They will have to live in Crescent Fishing Village next. If the villagers are Hostility will definitely cause them some trouble.
The less trouble, the better.
The next day, Gu Yuan was woken up by someone outside.
The entire Crescent Fishing Village seemed to be boiling.
After briefly washing up, I left the safe house and happened to see Wei Xuanyi and Feng Xiao walking towards me.
After all, they are girls, so they live in another safe house.
"Gu Yuan, go and take a look! There is something wrong with the statue of Master Mi Xian!" Wei Xuanyi waved at him.
In fact, Gu Yuan was not surprised at all.
After all, he and Kong Baihe were the first discoverers.
However, he did not reveal it. After all, Wei Xuanyi was someone who couldn't hide things, so he pretended to be surprised.
"Something went wrong? What went wrong?"
"I don't know, let's go take a look first!"
Gu Yuan nodded, called out Gong Di and Wu Ning, and the five of them went together.
Hundreds of people have gathered near the stone statue.
In addition to the people from Crescent Fishing Village, people from several other small fishing villages around also rushed over.
A group of people were noisy, some were beating their chests, some were sobbing, some had serious expressions, and some were careless.
The elderly people looked at the statue with cracks, and they all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, but the young people and children didn't care at all.
"Grandpa, isn't this just a broken stone statue? It has been exposed to wind and sun for so many years, and it is normal for cracks to appear."
"Shut up! What do you know? This stone statue has been protecting our village!"
"Tch, it's just a stone statue. It's just a commemoration at most! And to protect..." The young man obviously disagreed.
At this time, people from Jingwuyuan also arrived.
Gu Yuan and Kong Baihe looked at each other and nodded, understanding each other tacitly.
Just pretend what happened last night didn't happen.
There are still many people who care about this stone statue.
If they were told that Gu Yuan and Kong Baihe were nearby when the stone statue cracked, it would be impossible for a hundred mouths to explain.
now.
More and more people are gathering here.
The old village chief of Crescent Moon Fishing Village and a few middle-aged men walked around the stone statue, but found nothing. In the end, they could only sigh beside it.
"Old village chief, what should we do?" a man said.
"I don't know." The old village chief sighed, squatted on the ground and smoked a cigarette, and said, "I'm afraid something is going to happen."
"Something happened? What could happen?" Wei Xuanyi approached and asked curiously.
Gu Yuan didn't even hold back.
The old village chief glanced at her and sighed.
"This stone statue of Master Mi Xian has been guarding us. Since the stone statue was here, we have never had sea beasts here. But now, there is something wrong with the stone statue. This is definitely not a good sign!"
Wei Xuanyi's thoughts were actually the same as those of those young people. He felt that this stone statue ultimately had a symbolic meaning.
Sea beasts are monsters in the sea. How could a stone statue be able to suppress them? There are so many sea beasts in this sea.
In the early years, sea beasts would often invade land, but many were killed later. Slowly, the number of sea beasts who dared to come to land became less and less.
Another part of the reason is that although sea beasts can leave the sea water to land, their abilities can only be maximized in the sea water. Once they leave the sea water, their combat effectiveness will be weakened, just like locking an eagle in an iron cage and When a Tibetan Mastiff fights and loses its advantage, doesn't it mean that it is being slaughtered by others?
Then, the old village chief asked the villagers to hire craftsmen to try to repair the stone statue, but they didn't have high hopes, they just wanted to try it.

After eating at noon and returning to the safe house, Wei Xuanyi pulled Gu Yuan.
"Gu Yuan, why do I feel that the villagers in Crescent Moon Fishing Village are no longer as enthusiastic as before?"
Gu Yuan nodded.
Wei Xuanyi realized it later. In fact, when he was at the stone statue before, he noticed that the villagers in the fishing village looked at them with a bit of hostility.
Although it is still unknown why the stone statues cracked, over the years, the stone statues have been exposed to wind and sun without any problems. However, when they came, there was a problem with the stone statues.
The villagers will naturally think that they are related to this matter.
After hearing Gu Yuan's explanation, Wei Xuanyi was furious.
"How could they do this! We didn't do this!"
Gu Yuan said helplessly: "Even if we didn't do it, they still think that it's because we came that there was a problem with the stone statue. This is not a good sign. If it weren't for us being from the Martial Arts Academy, I'm afraid they would have tried every means to drive us away. We are."
Then, he looked at Wei Xuanyi and said, "Next, you should have a good rest and go out again at night."
Wu Ning suddenly said: "I want to see those trees."
He had already started picking the sap last night, but this also took time.
"I'll go with you!" Gong Di patted Wu Ning's shoulder and said.
Wu Ning glanced at him and nodded, but did not refuse.
"Be careful and don't be followed by others." Gu Yuan reminded.
"Don't worry." Gong Di lowered his voice and whispered, "I heard that people from the Jingwu Academy have found some clues, and it seems that they can find the nest of those winged spirit insects. People from the Yunwu Academy and Haiwu Academy are now Staring at them!"
Gu Yuan was stunned and laughed.
No wonder Kong Baihe said before that he would let them collect sap with peace of mind. He had a way to contain the people from Haiwuyuan and Yunwuyuan.
Come to think of it.
If it were him, he would definitely go and have a look without knowing anything about it. What's more, the people from Jingwuyuan are still moving in full force this time, so Kaiwuyuan and Yunwuyuan will naturally not be able to sit still.
"That's good, but you still have to be careful."
After seeing Wu Ning and Gong Di leaving, Gu Yuan still stood there, frowning in thought.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he hurried towards the safe house.
I found the glass container stored here. It looked like a finished can, with several holes punched in the iron lid. After closing the doors and windows, the light dimmed, and the red light could only be vaguely seen.
He thought for a moment and slowly opened the bottle. The winged spirit insect inside flapped its wings gently and flew out.
Gu Yuan opened the door, smiled, and let it fly away.
