Chapter Seventy-One: Myths and Stories
Bai Qiming shook his head, reassuring Lian Yi, "It's okay, we're not afraid, what about the work at your temple fair?" ”
"Alas!" Lian Yi frowned, "Can you wait for me here first, I'll ask Uncle Quan and get a scolding, otherwise he won't call me next time I have odd jobs." ”
"Okay, you go get busy, we'll play around here, and we won't go far."
Lian Yi trotted away, and Mei Yi asked worriedly, "Just let him leave like this?" ”
"Don't worry, he'll be back, and you and Crimson Maru will have a good time on this street while he's waiting."
Bai Qiming's breezy appearance made Yayi feel a little out of tune.
A person infected with "Honkai disease" said to let him go, can the other party really get it back by himself?
I still remember the days when I followed Kiana to wander in Changkong City, Kiana seemed to be very out of tune, and she still had to worry about everything, so Bronya could save some snacks.
"Sister Meiyi, fried tofu, fried tofu!"
Crimson Tammaru got out of her pocket at this time and tugged at the long hair around her waist.
Mei Yi is helpless, since Bai Qiming is sure, then listen to him.
When she and Crimson Jade Pill were looking for snacks, Bai Qiming contacted the military base and explained the current situation, but withheld some information.
They only told them that they had discovered the Honkai Ability, but did not specify that someone in the town was suffering from the Honkai Disease.
He subconsciously felt that this Lian Yi was very special, so he decided to investigate first and report later.
The other party knew Bai Qiming's identity, and sighed that he was worthy of being a professional from St. Freya's School Park, and he investigated some situations within a few hours of going out.
Half an hour later, Lian Yi ran back out of breath.
"Huh~ You really didn't leave, and the guy who carried the sedan chair with me still said that you were a liar."
Bai Qiming laughed a few times, pointed at Yayi and said, "Can such a beautiful girl be a liar?" ”
Mei Yi snorted, puffed out her cheeks, and gave him a blank look without speaking.
After seeing Lian Yi return, Mei Yi felt a little more admiration for Bai Qiming in her heart, he was not out of tune, but strategizing.
Lian Yi not only returned, but also deliberately looked for them for a while, how did Bai Qiming do it.
No wonder he said that if he wanted to play, he would have fun, and he wouldn't have a chance to play when he was busy, and he also took the scarlet jade pill to throw the circle, and he was worried about something on the side.
Next, Lian Yi took the two of them around the temple fair, and talked a lot about local myths and local customs.
Mei Yi was completely relieved, playing with Scarlet Jade Pill and secretly buying all kinds of small toys and snacks.
Scarlet Jade Pill may have to be a little aggrieved and can only hide, but she is not missing from hers.
Bai Qiming chatted with each other or not, openly and secretly asked some local questions, and there were also questions about the red line on his hand.
Lian Yi is an honest guy, who knows everything, and thinks that it is very normal for people who come to travel to be interested in these.
"Hey, you said the South China Sea used to be a continent? What's the point of saying that? I don't think I've seen it in any myths. ”
Lian Yi touched his head and grinned, "This is the story my grandmother told me when I was a child, I used to think everyone knew about it, but later I found out that our family has been telling it in the village."
So I don't know if it's elaborate, but I heard my grandmother say that it was told to her by her elders when she was a child, so let's listen to it as a story. ”
In the story told by Lian Yi, thousands of years ago, Shenzhou was much larger than it is now, and the South China Sea was not the South China Sea, it was a vast continent.
Later, a very powerful beast appeared and caused chaos in the world.
That strange beast has the ability to devour all things, and when it encounters anything, it eats anything, and quickly eats a large piece of the Shenzhou Continent.
The place that was eaten was turned into the ocean and became the current South China Sea.
Later, the alien beast was defeated by Ji Xuanyuan, who is famous in Shenzhou mythology, and led his clan to defeat it with many immortal families and restore stability in Shenzhou.
Ji Xuanyuan is respected by the people of China as the "first ancestor of humanity" and is loved by all the people.
Legend has it that she led the tribe through the most difficult times, united mankind, and formed the first civilization in the land of China.
In the Mandate of Heaven core database, it is clearly recorded that Ji Xuanyuan is an Stigmata Awakener, leading the people at that time to fight against the collapse and leaving behind the spark of civilization.
The story has evolved over thousands of years, and in the outside world, the part about Honkai has been eliminated, and it is simply recorded that Ji Xuanyuan is a great man, and various myths and legends are circulated.
Bai Qiming knew that the story told by Lian Yi had really happened in history.
That was when Fu Hua was still called the Red Kite, and the "Tinder Project" was launched in Shenzhou.
At that time, her purpose was to help the development of modern civilization, in order to overtake in corners and directly kill Honkai.
However, the Honkai Society will become stronger with the strength of civilization, and the "Tinder Project" has destroyed the laws of natural progress of human civilization, and as a result, it has been destroyed by the Judgment and the Honkai Beast.
As a result, the Tinder Project went bankrupt, and Fu Hua no longer took the initiative to spread knowledge and became the guardian of the Shenzhou civilization.
This story can be preserved almost as it is for thousands of years, without being adapted by later generations, and this Lian Yi is not as simple as it seems.
For him, this story is just a myth and legend casually made up by the older generation when they were coaxing children, but it is different to Bai Qiming's ears.
Now he wants Lian Yi to take him back to the fishing village to meet the old man who told the story.
"What is the name of the fishing village where you live?"
"Wave Village." Lian Yi said: "Although the name is very ordinary, we have more local characteristics there than here, and my grandmother cooks a good meal, and I can let my grandmother cook for everyone when I go back." ”
"Okay, the money for cooking and cooking is calculated separately, and I can't let grandma work hard."
Mei followed up and said, "I can help too." ”
"No, no, no, you're a guest, how can you let a guest cook by yourself."
One night, Lian Yi behaved very simple, did not accept the snacks they bought, and if he had any questions, he would do his best to solve his doubts.
He would tell the same custom in several different versions, depending on what he had heard in the village and what had been circulated in the town.
That night, the trio spent the night in town.
Lian Yi excused himself in every possible way, but Bai Qiming still opened a room for him, and not long after he fell asleep, Lian Yi knocked on Bai Qiming's door again, saying that the room fee could be deducted from his salary.
Early the next morning, Mei Yi took Bai Qiming to buy a lot of things.
When she heard about Lian Yi, she specially bought some things for the elderly and children, which made Lian Yi's face flush and said that she didn't need any guide fees.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Bai Qiming drove to Langhua Village.
Langhua Village is located by the sea, and there are almost no young people in the village, only children playing around, and old people carrying stools out to bask in the sun.
Lian Yi's home is in the far corner of the village, but it covers an unexpectedly large area and can be called a courtyard.
But most of the houses are in disrepair, only the usual three houses are fine, and the others have climbed into the moss, falling into disrepair and facing collapse.
