Chen Yang felt extremely complicated for a moment. He looked at the old monk in front of him and was speechless.
Needless to say, the heroic nature of this.
"Do you know why we still have so many temples here?" The old monk said again, "Because we are all here to offer them incense and make wishes to them. We think that their eighth family will be safe and sound in the mountains and seas.
So the temple here has always been popular." The old monk murmured, "We can't do so much else, we can only do this."
"They...didn't anyone return?" Chen Yang asked the old monk with mixed emotions.
"Retreat?" The old monk shook his head, "Once they leave, they may never come back. There is no such thing as retreat. Back then, they brought their families with them, and as long as they were from the main lineage, even the newly born children followed them north to the mountains and seas.
At that time, they never thought about withdrawing, so how could they possibly withdraw?"
Chen Yang was speechless for a moment.
These people deserve respect!
"So they are protecting their home..." Yaya said in a hoarse voice, "No wonder everyone is so confident."
"Of course I have confidence!" the old monk said calmly, "Of course I have confidence. Most of the people in Crescent City now are related to the Eighth Family, and they are passed down from generation to generation. You see, the new
Everyone else in Moon City has already run away, and now the remaining ones are unwilling to run away. They all say that one day eight
If the people of the aristocratic family complete their mission, they will return to their hometown one day. If everyone leaves and they come back alone, they will be confident. There is nothing else we can do, but we are here to wait for their return.
It’s what we can do, and what we can do well, we can only do this!”
Chen Yang fell silent again.
This may be a tragic story.
"Did you see here..." The old monk pointed to the tower and said, "There are many spiritual tablets on it. Those are the spiritual tablets of those who died in the mountains and seas."
Chen Yang looked over in surprise.
Sure enough, I saw there were spiritual tablets all around with their names on them.
"The fallen leaves return to their roots. They cannot come back alive, but after they die, we will carve their names here to let them return to their homeland. Every twenty years, we will send a ranger team here to go to the mountains and seas to bring back their spiritual tablets.
It is placed here because I think they can feel the atmosphere of hometown here."
"You...are serious!" Chen Yang sighed.
"Compared with what they did, those of us who stay here are nothing!" the old monk murmured, "I just don't know how many people in this world besides us in Crescent City remember those who fought for them.
People who are still suffering in the mountains and seas."
"We remember!" Chen Yang looked solemn.
This kind of person is worthy of admiration anywhere.
The old monk looked pleased.
"Master, I want to ask you a question..." Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then thought for a moment before asking: "What's the question?"
"If a big demon really comes here, why does it come?" Chen Yang asked.
The old monk was startled, then immediately shook his head and said, "It's impossible, there's no way a big demon can come here."
"I mean, what if a big demon really comes in?" Chen Yang immediately asked, "Nothing in this world is 100% certain, but what if this thing is not certain? If a real big demon comes in, what should you do?
explain?"
The old monk lowered his head and seemed to be meditating.
After a while, the old monk shook his head again and said seriously: "It's impossible."
Chen Yang sighed, this old monk was really too confident.
"Okay, Master..." Chen Yang thought for a moment before he said, "Think about it carefully. If you really think about it, you can come to me at any time. We are staying in the same inn here." 0
"Okay!" The old monk nodded, but finally looked at Ba and said, "You... are they doing well in the Eighth Family now?"
Eight nodded.
"No one has been here for twenty years..." the old monk murmured. "In the last twenty years, none of the people we went to came back, and not even a single spiritual tablet was brought back. This time, twenty years have passed."
, and I don’t know if I can select someone to go there.”
As he spoke, the old monk sighed.
"Master, let's say goodbye first!" Chen Yang stood up and clasped his fists.
The old monk nodded and returned the gift.
Soon, the two of them came out of here one after the other.
It wasn't until he left White Horse Temple that Chen Yang asked: "Eighth Family? Do you know them?"
"I have met Qiu Tianxing, and they are indeed said to have eight aristocratic families." Ba said, "But... two of them have been cut off."
Chen Yang was startled.
"They don't know?"
"Thirty-six years ago, the last member of the Li family died in battle. Seventeen years ago, the last member of the Liu family died in battle!" Ba said calmly, "Unfortunately, I was there in both wars, even in one of them.
I personally collected the body of the 28-year-old young man from the Liu family. He died miserably, with half of his body missing. He was only 28 years old, he was very young..."
Chen Yang stood there blankly, "He... left no descendants?"
"On purpose!" Ba sighed and said, "The Ba family has a transcendent status there. In fact, the man named Liu is not old and has mediocre talent. Many people are trying to persuade him to start a family, marry a woman, and have a child.
, but he couldn’t say, don’t harm others, and don’t let your children end up like him and die there. If he dies, the Liu family will be free."
Chen Yang was silent for a while.
"This is a group of people worthy of admiration." Ba said seriously.
Chen Yang nodded, "If I have a chance, I would like to get his spiritual tablet back."
Ba didn't say anything more.
The two returned to the inn.
Crescent City is very peaceful, so peaceful that it doesn't look like a place where a big demon has been.
When Chen Yang and the others returned there again, there was still no movement.
Everyone lives their own little life, which is completely different from the outside world.
And more importantly, Chen Yang discovered that there was no temple here.
That's right, this Crescent City seems to be managed by these people themselves.
This surprised Chen Yang and Badu.
You must know that temples are pervasive here, but there are no installations here?
Of course, this is definitely not because the temple government has good intentions, it's just because they can't win over the people here.
After all, there are so many people still guarding the mountains and seas. Maybe the temple government doesn't want to offend them too much.
After dinner, the two of them sat on the top of the inn and looked at the small town.
"It's too quiet..." Ba said, "Looking at it like this, it really doesn't look like a big demon has come here. Could it be that our idea is wrong?"
At this time, Chen Yang could not guarantee that his idea was right.
After all, he didn't feel the presence of these big monsters here.
