Chapter 3: Whales in the Wood
"Helping you?"
He wanted to kill her a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, he asked her to save them, and Shi Xi, a monk, couldn't understand the rapid transformation of these mortals' thinking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ask the fairy for help!"
Poof, a group of people knelt down neatly.
"If you are talking about saving your life when the holy lake rises and falls, I can only try this, after all, avoid it when the water rises, store some water before the water recedes, and it will not be a problem to survive. ”
Since ancient times, the human race has not been the race with the best physical conditions, but it is the race with the fastest reproduction and the highest creative ability, so that some great human sages in ancient times discovered the method of cultivation according to their own structure. This is also the reason why in today's cultivation system, only the body of the human race is the most suitable.
It's just a matter of the rise and fall of the water of the Holy Lake, and I believe that these mortals have already had a way to deal with it after they knew that there would be a rise and fall every hundred years.
"The water of the sacred lake has passed the period of high tide and is now about to dry up, but according to the old people, the water we have stored mysteriously disappears during every dry season, and it is not enough to sustain all of us in the village through the dry period. ”
There is no food and only water, and a mortal can still hold on for about half a month, but without water, he can survive for seven days and be a strong man among mortals.
"Fairy, save us. ”
"Will the water disappear mysteriously?" Shi Xi was also stunned, and while following the group of people towards their village, he pondered, "How long have you lived in this poplar forest, and there are other villages nearby, where is this?"
"This is the edge of the Taxi Desert in Nanling Kingdom, our village is called Changyan Village, and our village is within a radius of 100 miles. ”
"There is only one village of you within a radius of 100 miles, don't you usually communicate with the outside?"
"We grew up in this oasis and are used to the simplicity of life here. ”
Shi Xi smacked his tongue, Nanling Kingdom was the territory controlled by Wu Yumen. This place is not as simple as the country of Yuelang and the country of Yan. The Yuelang Kingdom and the White Bone Gate are symbiotic states of equal status, the Yan Kingdom is a puppet royal family supported by the Yin Yang Valley, and the Nanling Kingdom is a country directly controlled and controlled by Wuyumen. If she remembers correctly, the master of Wuyu Gate, Hei Sha, is the master of the entire Nanling Kingdom.
This kind of thing of being directly notified by a sect to the territory, she has also heard of a Wuyu Sect.
After getting to know the team one by one, Shi Xi only remembered the name of Ayizama, the woman who had been introducing her to the surrounding scenery.
When they came to the village where they lived, Shi Xi actually had a feeling of returning to Anyue Town, and even the environment here was worse than that of Anyue Town, because there were still blue-tiled houses built by Zhou Yuanwai in Anyue Town.
In the entire Changyan Village, Shi Xi saw wooden houses in addition to wooden houses, and houses built of poplar trees one after another, which looked a little simple, but had a unique flavor.
This kind of house, which is built according to the characteristics of the branches of the poplar tree itself, looks strange and strange, but it is full of a messy artistic beauty.
"You want me to help you through the dry period, it's not impossible, I'll store the water first, and then give it to you to drink when the dry season comes. It's just that the water you said will disappear for no reason, and I am a little worried, what if the water I stored is also gone?"
Shi Xi's thought of a very simple solution was to store the water in the Yuan Fa Ring. The Yuan Dharma Ring is her storage ring, something that completely belongs to her, and even meditation can't penetrate it. It's definitely okay to put water in it, but I'm not afraid of 10,000.
She'd been told too many things to understand, and every time she thought she could solve a doubt, a bigger one would pop up.
If it weren't for her natural big heart, many things would not be desperate to get to the bottom when she didn't know, and now she would probably be buried by all kinds of doubts.
"What then?"
As soon as Shi Xi heard that the water would disappear, Ayizama's group began to worry, and even a group of old people and children gathered around the village began to sigh after hearing this.
"Try it, it's unlikely that the water will disappear when it reaches my hands. But this is a palliative rather than a cure, and it is best to find the reason for the rise and fall of the water of the holy lake, so that we can completely solve the problem of your Changyan Village once and for all. ”
Just because of the comfortable and peaceful atmosphere in this town, the longing look on the faces of those who greeted her, and the emotion that Aunt Yi had brought to her at the beginning, she also wanted to explore what was under this holy lake!
"For the sake of the baby below, let's just say it, why make so many excuses for yourself. Gollum simply saw through Shi Xi's truest heart at a glance, and revealed it neatly.
"What's wrong with me just for the baby, which monk doesn't cultivate for these things?"
Shi Xi followed the village chief to an empty house in Changyan Village, and listened to the old village chief talk about the history of Changyan Village, the history of the poplar forest, and more importantly, the rise and fall of the holy lake.
"Old village chief, when the holy lake dried up, did anyone go to the bottom of the dry lake to see what caused the water to dry up?"
The old village chief's brown wrinkles trembled slightly, and he waved his hand and shook his head: "That's a holy lake, we only get water in a fixed place on weekdays, and we don't dare to approach it after it dries up." ”
Well, Shi Xi is a little incomprehensible to this kind of piety of mortals: "Why don't you dare to approach after it dries up?"
"We worship the sacred lake, but the rise and fall every 100 years has also caused our village to suffer heavy losses. Over the years, it is not that no one has tried to find the reason for the bottom of the lake during the dry period, but the lesson left by the ancestors is that every time the villagers who try to get close to the bottom of the lake during the dry period die violently, and the duration of the dry period will be doubled!"
"It sounds like the emotions of someone in this holy lake. Shi Xi smacked his tongue and told the old village chief that he would do his best to help Changyan Village survive the catastrophe, and then returned to his resting hut.
"Gollum, what do you think is the treasure under this holy lake, swallowing the breath of the outside world once every hundred years, or is there any creature underground?"
If it's just a treasure, it's swallowed once in a hundred years, regular and stable, and it won't prolong the drying period because of the villagers' inquiry. Moreover, the water stored before the drying period will mysteriously disappear, and the person who goes to the bottom of the river will die, which is not like what a dead thing would do.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there must be mysterious monsters living under this holy lake!
She's going to come and meet this mysterious monster for a while! )
