After being reborn, I gave up and became lazy, and the gods actually knelt down on the spot.

Since knowing the truth, Nan Wuya has seen clearly who Shen Yuerong is.

Since Shen Yuerong had framed Shen Yuexi everywhere, why did she plead in front of Nan Wuya to let him go?

Nan Wuya couldn't figure out Shen Yuerong's motives for a while. Naturally, he wouldn't think that Shen Yuerong discovered it out of conscience.

Unless... Shen Yuerong has other purposes.

Nan Wuya, who claimed to be smart, could not figure out what Shen Yuerong wanted to do at that time.

Head hurts again...

Nan Wuya had no choice but to give up thinking temporarily.

Just as he was about to leave this sad place, Nan Wuya's footsteps suddenly stopped.

There's something wrong with this place.

Just now, Nan Wuya only had regrets, but ignored that the surrounding environment had changed a lot compared to the past.

Hundreds of years ago, the place where Nan Wu Ya sealed Shen Yue Creek was still a prosperous place, not as desolate as it is now.

Moreover, this desolate and desolate feeling made Nan Wuya couldn't help but think of the cursed land. The current situation of this place was very similar to the cursed land.

Nan Wuya was shocked and continued to explore further. He felt that the further away from the place where Chen Yue River was sealed, the more desolate the land became, and the life of the villagers living here became very miserable.

The uneasiness in his heart began to spread, and Nan Wuya seemed to understand the reason for this situation.

He walked along the road to a nearby village and asked the villagers here for news.

To avoid attracting too much attention, Nan Wuya specially disguised himself so that he would not look too conspicuous.

"You're from outside, right? There haven't been any new faces in our village for a long time."

In front of Nan Wuya was an old man, very skinny. He was peeling off tree bark in his hands, and he looked like he was very precious.

Seeing Nan Wuya staring at the bark of the tree, the old man smiled and said, "This is today's dinner. We old guys shouldn't compete with others for food. We can gnaw on the bark to satisfy our hunger."

Hearing this, Nan Wuya's heart trembled, and the taste was hard to describe.

"This place didn't seem like this before. Why has it become so desolate now?"

These words seemed to evoke a long-standing memory of the old man. After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth to explain: "Our village has been deeply protected by the goddess since its establishment."

Nan Wuya was startled and couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"

The old man sighed, but did not answer Nan Wuya's question.

"Under the protection of the goddess, this place is prosperous and prosperous, and people live and work in peace and contentment. Our ancestors have been living a stable and happy life. The ancestors were grateful to the goddess and built temples and statues for the goddess. With the worship of us common people, the goddess's Her power seemed to be increasing, and her blessings spread almost throughout the land. At that time, people in several nearby villages were grateful to the goddess.

"Some people say that there used to be a cursed place near here, which implicated many innocent people. In order to break the curse of that place, the goddess exhausted all her strength and sacrificed her own life, so that innocent people like us would not be affected. Even after her death, she used her remaining strength to protect one party.

"Whether this legend is true or not is not important to us, because it will not change our gratitude to the goddess. However, I still remember the story that my great-grandmother often told me when I was very young. She said this It’s something that has been passed down from our ancestors and really happened. “I heard that my ancestor was a woman who married into a cursed village. She gave birth to a daughter who was not welcomed by the family and bullied by outsiders. Later, The goddess appeared there, saved the ancestor, and even brought her back to life. She got rid of the shackles of the curse, left there, and took root in a new place, which is now the village. "

Nan Wuya listened to the old man's words in silence, connected the past events with them, and pieced together a complete story.

The "ancestor" in this old man's mouth must be the peasant woman he saw 800 years ago when he was brought back by Hui Hui Inkstone. Unexpectedly, the lady got rid of the curse, survived smoothly, and even took root in a new place. Today descendants.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Nan Wuya was in a trance, and his memory slowly overlapped with the past, as if he saw Shen Yuexi standing in front of the woman, resurrecting her with flowers...

The legend of the goddess is inseparable from the fact that the woman secretly spread the story of Shen Yuexi.

"Grandpa, this is for you to eat."

Suddenly, a staggering boy stumbled over from behind the old man and stuffed the steamed bun in his hand into the old man's hand.

The old man smiled and shook his head, "Grandpa is old and can't eat so much, so I'll give it to you."

The boy was a little disappointed, but then he cheered up and said, "Then I'll give it to my sister!"

"Dabao is so good!" The old man touched the boy's head with a loving expression on his face.

Dabao tilted his head and glanced at Nan Wuya, then walked back slowly.

Nan Wuya felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. If only Shen Yuexi knew that her efforts at that time were actually not in vain. The descendants of that woman would continue to live on, and they would always remember her benefactor...

However, thinking of the old man and Dabao's emaciated figure, Nan Wuya felt a little bitter in his heart. It could be seen that the lives of these villagers were very difficult now.

He was wondering if it might be related to that matter...

"You may not believe what I say when you see the current situation here, but that is indeed what happened in the past. All these changes began more than ten years ago."

The old man may have seen Nan Wuya's doubts, and finally spoke slowly to explain his confusion, "Since the people from the Wenxin Sect came here more than ten years ago, our peaceful and peaceful place has suffered from successive disasters. , droughts, locust plagues, earthquakes... natural disasters continue!"

At this point, the old man's emotions became excited, and his wrinkled face was full of anger, "This Wenxin Sect must not be a good thing. They must have taken away the luck of the goddess and caused us common people to suffer such a disaster. , simply hateful!”

Nan Wuya fell into silence, lowering his head to hide the flash of embarrassment on his face.

The old man didn't notice Nan Wuya's strange appearance. He was full of anger towards the Wenxin Sect who had harmed them. He kept spitting and even cursed fiercely.

The villagers passing by obviously had the same attitude as the old man, and even joined the team that cursed the Wenxin Sect.

Nan Wuya's mood was complicated, and he couldn't be angry with these people for a moment.

If his guess is correct, the fact that the village has become so desolate is directly related to the fact that he took away Shen Yuexi and sealed it here.

Although the curse of the wilderness was lifted with the death of those people, the remaining power still spread to the nearby areas, and it would take many years to slowly recover.

Shen Yuexi was sealed here, suppressing the remaining power of the curse, so that the people here could live and work in peace and contentment. With her departure, the place would naturally return to its original state... (End of Chapter)
