Xia You and a few people also entered the crowd, and together with these tourists, slowly moved forward.

There are two rows of stalls lined up on the street, selling all kinds of delicious snacks and other gadgets, Xia You saw that Xiaozhi was a little moved, so he bought a few snacks and shared them with everyone.

And when he saw Xiaoxia stop in front of a jewelry stall, but left silently, Xia You walked to the stall, carefully selected, bought a hairpin, and gave it to Xiaoxia.

Xiaoxia had a smile on her face, although she didn't say much, but in her expression, she could also see that she liked this gift very much.

This time, the festival was held as in previous years, and they walked forward for a while, and even saw a woman dressed in costume, dancing an exotic dance under the music and the shouts and cheers of the people.

However, unlike the three Xia You who had a relaxed mentality, Xiao Gang had no intention of playing at this time, he lowered his head and followed behind, with a lovesick look on his face, obviously still thinking about the woman on the dock, and even in his mouth, he kept muttering something.

"Wait a minute!"

An old but energetic voice suddenly sounded behind several people.

Xia You turned around and found that it was an old woman with white hair, less than one meter tall, holding a cane, and wearing a purple robe.

The old woman's mouth was large, her skin was very dry, and her eyes, in particular, looked quite sharp.

Xiao Gang was originally immersed in the beauty of that woman, but when he turned around, he was startled by the appearance of the old woman, caught off guard, and sat on the ground.

"Wow! There was a dry... Shriveled old kappa! ”

"Who's the kappa!?" The old woman scolded angrily, and then her eyes swept back and forth on Xia You and Xiao Gang, and said mysteriously, "Listen, you must be careful of beautiful women, otherwise you will definitely be unlucky today!" ”

"What are you talking about!" Xiaoxia pursed her mouth, glanced at Xia You quickly, and said a little twisted, "How could I possibly make him unlucky!" ”

"Stupid!" The old woman shouted, "I'm talking about a beautiful woman, not a milky little girl like you!" ”

"What!? You say I'm a little girl! Xiaoxia instantly exploded, obviously this sentence poked her sore spot.

On the side, after hearing the old woman's advice, Xiao Gang was thoughtful, only Xia You, knowing that she was actually a fake body conjured by ghosts, but at this time she was just staring at them, so he smiled and didn't care too much about her words.

But Xiaoxia didn't want such a rare festival trip to be disturbed by this old woman.

"What gibberish! Okay, let's leave her alone. ”

As she spoke, she pushed Xia You's back with one hand and Xiao Gang's ear with the other, turned around and left here.

The festival ends at a shrine at the end of the town.

When Xia You and the others came to the shrine with the crowd, they saw an old priest who rang the bell and drum on the hour.

"Everyone, be quiet, the treasures of the Maiden Shrine are about to start on display now!"

Beside the old priest, there was also a picture scroll, but the scroll was now covered with a white cloth, making it impossible to see what was drawn.

People surrounded the shrine, and the old priest continued, "This painting is a secret treasure that has been handed down from this maiden shrine since 2,000 years ago, and it is only exhibited once a year during the summer festival. ”

As he spoke, he tore off the white cloth and let the scroll be completely displayed in front of everyone.

In the picture, there is a portrait of a woman, her eyes looking ahead, her hands on her chest, as if she is praying.

Although this painting is only black and white, and there are no other colors, it still makes people feel the beauty of a woman and the rich sadness.

On the side, Xiao Gang was surprised, because the beauty in the portrait turned out to be the woman in the white dress he saw at noon at the small pier!

The voice of the old priest echoed in the ears of the people: "Two thousand years ago, there was a young couple who loved each other very much, but because of the war, the man had to be drafted into the army, and went to sea with the army to fight, and before leaving, he promised that when the war was won, he would return triumphantly.

In this way, the woman has been waiting for many years, but in the end, she did not wait for the return of the man, and the endless waiting made her turn into a rock, standing on the cliff, until now, the man who has been waiting for him. ”

This is indeed a sad legend, and after listening to it, people can't help but feel depressed.

At this time, Xiao Gang was like a demon, and suddenly asked out loud: "Then may I ask, where is that rock now!?" ”

"Huh?" The old priest was stunned, "Don't you know the Maiden Rock?" ”

……

Night covers the land.

On the cliff by the sea, a wooden house, built alone, was built here.

When Xia You and the others walked up the cliff from the rugged mountain road and bypassed the wooden house, they saw a stone statue of a woman sitting on an offshore cliff.

I don't know how many years have passed, but this stone statue seems to have become one with the cliff.

The waves crash against the reef, and in the distance, there are thousands of lights in the town of Jungjou, and even if you are far away from the town, you can still faintly hear the joyful sound of the celebration coming from there.

And here, it seems, like that legend, is full of silence.

Looking at the girl's rock, Xiaoxia whispered: "You say, this rock, is it really what that woman became?" ”

"Who knows." Xia You shook his head, "At least I didn't see any traces of artificial carving. ”

It was already ten o'clock in the night, and the clouds in the sky suddenly covered the moon, and a breeze blew, bringing a cold coolness.

With intuition, perhaps sensing that something was about to happen, Xia You took out two Poke Balls, and with the blue light flashing, the little fire dragon and Reib appeared at his feet.

The light of the fire on the tail of the little fire dragon, and the electric current that flashed on Reib's body from time to time, it seemed that at this time, it not only illuminated the surroundings, but also made him feel extra at ease.

"There's nothing to see here, so let's go back to town."

Compared with the lively streets, Xiaoxia naturally didn't want to stay here longer, but she didn't expect that as soon as she turned around, she saw that the door of the hut behind her was slowly opening.

Creak...

At first, she thought that the wind was blowing open the door, but in the next second, a vague figure emitting light suddenly floated out of it.

"Yikes! It's a ghost!! ”
