After leaving in a nameless rage, he wandered around the village like a headless fly, and before he knew it, he walked back to the abandoned and deserted village.

"What's the matter, it's coming back again." She raised her head and looked at the silent land, "Well, the moon is dark tonight, so let's rest here." ”

She stretched out her hands and sighed helplessly, and then searched among the many empty houses for her home tonight.

After searching for a long time, Nameless finally found a relatively clean hut, but just as she was about to stay overnight, a strong wind suddenly blew, blowing the wooden door not far away, bringing a strange "crunch" sound.

Nameless is not like Qingyuan is a coward, in her heart, there is nothing to be afraid of, so she boldly walked out of the door and walked towards the sound.

She soon came to the old house that made a strange noise, and she only touched the wooden door lightly, and the rotten and dilapidated door opened by itself, and the interior was completely revealed in the clear light of the Nine Heavens and the Moon.

The moonlight shines on the excellent begonia flower in full bloom in the center of the courtyard, and the shadow of the flower is mottled and scattered, and the pear white of the tree also shines under its background.

Then, a sudden gust of summer breeze blew through the nameless veil, unreservedly sending the fragrance of self into the nose of the person in front of the door.

This is a flower tree that Nameless has never seen, and it is a fragrance she has never smelled, and in the dark, there seems to be a force that attracts her to enter this door.

But Nameless was a cautious person, and before stepping into the hut, she bent down and picked up a few pieces of rubble and threw them in all directions of the house, and after a long time, she dared to step into the house when she saw that there was no change in the house.

However, this house is indeed quite strange, like a courtyard where people live, and also like a temple dedicated to the gods.

On the left side of the house is a small house with delicate carved patterns, on the right side is a kitchen house, toilet room, etc., and in the direction of the main door, there is a stone statue.

Nameless walked slowly to the stone statue, and wiped his fingers on the offering table with just a finger, staining a finger of dust, and there were only a few tattered saucers on the offering table, all of which were tightly entangled in cobwebs.

It can be seen that this place, like this Huang village, has been forgotten for some years.

Then, she raised her head and looked at the stone statue, but the carved stone statue was not a Buddha, a Bodhisattva, or a fairy, but a young girl.

In order to be able to see the stone statue's face in detail, Nameless blew on the fire fold she was carrying, and with this faint light, she could finally see a rough outline.

Due to the long-term abandonment, coupled with the erosion of the rain here, the stone statue is already hazy, but the face is clearer.

The stone statue woman has a peach petal carved on the center of her eyebrows, and her eyes are slightly raised, showing a gentle posture, and the soft facial curve adds a bit of approachability.

After seeing her facial features clearly, Nameless moved the lamp down, and roughly saw that the woman's graceful body was wearing simple plain clothes.

Although there is no embellishment of gorgeous jewelry, it is also this simplicity that makes her more dignified.

"It seems that this is just an ordinary stone statue." Nameless sighed a little bored, but at this moment, she suddenly saw a yellow cloth hidden behind the stone statue.

With curiosity, Nameless silently walked around to the back of the yellow cloth, only to see that in this hidden place, ten stone statues of the same size were placed in an orderly manner!

"Wow! I didn't expect that behind this yellow cloth, there were so many stone statues hidden, and it was really a different world. ”

She opened her mouth in surprise and looked at each stone statue carefully.

Although these stone statues are different in appearance and figure, they are very similar in two points: they are all young and beautiful women; The dress is very simple.

"These stone statues must have been carved from real people, and judging by their clothes, they should all be from civilian backgrounds."

Nameless frowned and thought about it seriously, and inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of a wooden cabinet leaning against the corner.

She squatted down in a few steps and quietly opened the dusty wooden cabinet, and the moment she opened it, the old ash that Fei Dye snatched out of it covered her body.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Nameless narrowed her eyes, her palms swaying in front of her to sweep away the dust, and when the dust cleared, a book lying peacefully in the wooden cabinet fell into her sight.

She carefully took out the book, gently brushed the dust off it, and in an instant, the book revealed its original face.

"Directory of Holy Women?" Nameless pronounced out the four big characters mentioned on the cover, and then, maintaining this novelty, he spread his hands and flipped through them.

Her movements were extremely slow and careful, for fear that the slightest mistake would tear the yellowed ancient book apart.

The main record in this book is the origin of these stone carving girls.

"Xuanzong three years, the age in Gengchen, coincided with a hundred years of natural disasters, the thin field of agriculture died, the pond fish dried up its mud, the heat lasted for more than three months, until the birth of the saint, the sky will suddenly rain heavily, for dozens of days, alleviate the drought and relieve the bitterness of the township......"

Nameless then read these obscure and tongue-twisting ancient texts in the dim light, and learned a lot about this deserted village.

According to the book, the first saint, named Shui Yao, was born in a family in the village during the disaster, and an hour after her birth, there was a sudden heavy rain in Libei Village, which alleviated the drought.

For this reason, a powerful goddess in the village concluded that Shui Yao was the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Goddess, and from then on, Shui Yao became a well-known saint in all ten miles and eight towns.

But since then, it has been doomed that the infant baby will no longer be happy.

And all of this is "given" by worshipping the goddess.

The goddess said to everyone that she was entrusted with a dream by the gods, and everyone must show respect for the saint, so the villagers paid out of their own pockets to build this shrine for her, carved a stone statue, and brought Shui Yao, who had just learned to walk, to the shrine to worship.

However, it is more accurate to say that it is an offering, than to say that it is a captivity.

Shui Yao was prescribed not to take a step out of the shrine of the Holy Maiden, and had to live in this small courtyard where the temple and residence were gathered for the rest of her life.

She must not be like other women, who have exchanged heartfelt feelings with men and married each other, and as a saint she must have the purest soul.

In this way, Shui Yao was deprived of affection and love since she was a child, and fulfilled her duties as a saint day after day.

Her duty is to sit quietly under her stone statue, listen to the voices of every villager who has always worshipped, and use the set of "spells" given to her by the goddess to help the villagers realize their wishes.

But Shui Yao couldn't make everyone's wish come true, and gradually, the villagers began to doubt her, the goddess, and the saint.

After a long time, even she began to doubt whether she was a saint who could withstand natural disasters by word of mouth.

It wasn't until a few months later, when a woman in the village gave birth to a baby boy, that Shui Yao gradually won back the hearts of the people.

This woman has given birth to five girls in a row, and she has spent a lot of energy in order to give birth to a boy, praying to God and worshiping Buddha, asking for remedies, and she has done everything she can, but she has never been able to pop out of this belly with a brat with a handle.

Until she was pregnant with the sixth child, the woman came to the shrine of the Holy Maiden all day long to worship, even if everyone in the village said that Shui Yao was a fake saint, she would not come to worship for a day.

In the end, she was pregnant for ten months, gave birth to a white and chubby baby boy, as she wished.

After the news spread in the village, the goddess made a big statement to show everyone that it was because of their lack of sincerity that their wish could not come true, and that this woman was able to do so because of her sincere belief all along.

After that, the villagers once again picked up their belief in the Holy Maiden, and became more fanatical than before, and during these years, there were indeed a few people who fulfilled their wishes.

But the good times didn't last long, and the first saint of Libei Village, at the age of seventeen, died and returned to the west.

After her death, the village was in chaos for a while, and the villagers, who had no spiritual support, felt panicked and helpless, but it didn't take long for the goddess to come up with another explanation.

She said, Shui Yao returned to the heavenly realm because the experience was over and the merits were complete, and next, there will be new generations of saints to come and bless Libei Village with good health.

The way to judge the new saint is that the baby girl born first in the village after the death of the previous saint is the new heir.

In this way, the culture of the saint of Libei Village has been passed down for a long time.
