Chapter 9674: Six bronze statues 4
The middle-aged man said solemnly: "This is a sacred object in our village. It represents our life. If you take it away, we will all die, so let it go." Hearing this, Leng Xuan said, "If everyone If you don't mind, I can exchange it for something else."
"Exchange?" An old man scolded, "What do you exchange for? Your life?" With that, the crowd gathered from all sides, trying to grab the bronze statue in Leng Xuan's hand.
Leng Xuan was worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so he didn't wait for the other party to take action. He pointed his toes and flew out of the other party's crowd. Standing on the roof of one of the houses, he looked down at the crowd and said, "Everyone, I said, I No malice. All in all, I must take this thing with me. As for the conditions... as long as I can accept it, you can mention it."
Seeing Leng Xuan jumping onto the roof with ease, the villagers were stunned. However, after hearing his words, everyone's anger was stirred up again. I saw a few burly young people fetch the stairs and prepare to go up to the roof to grab Leng Xuan. Seeing this, Leng Xuan waved his hand, and the bodies of several young people suddenly floated up from the ground. Seeing this miraculous scene, the villagers couldn't help but turn pale and looked at Leng Xuan in horror. There were also some timid people who slumped on the ground.
Seeing that these villagers were stunned by their own means, Leng Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then flew to the front of the crowd, and asked, "You said just now that if this bronze statue is lost, you will all die, what is this? the same thing?"
An old man hurriedly said: "This bronze statue protects our existence from disasters. Without it, we will not be able to live tomorrow."
"Is it so serious?" Leng Xuan frowned slightly and said, "Get up, don't kneel." After a pause, he asked, "Who among you is the leader?" The old man walked out and said, "My name is Huang Shou, and I am the village chief here."
"Since you are the village chief, tell me what is going on here?"
"Yes." Huang Shou said, "It's like this. Our village has a history of hundreds of years. There used to be a lot of villagers who lived here. There were hundreds of people. The oasis where we lived was gradually engulfed by the sand, and many villagers disappeared for no reason. In just over ten years, our village has become like this. Later, we found this bronze statue. If you put it in the village, you can avoid all disasters. In the past few years, the village has been safe and sound, all because of this bronze statue. "
"So it is." Leng Xuan nodded secretly, "You said your villagers disappeared for no reason, don't you have any clues?"
Huang Shou shook his head and said, "Those villagers all disappeared at night. At that time, everyone fell asleep and didn't find out until the next day. At the beginning, we thought that there were gangsters making trouble, so we sent a lot of young and middle-aged people to vigil. But , Within a few days, those who were watching the night went missing, their whereabouts are unknown, and they have not been found so far. Sir, please, if we don't have that bronze statue, we will definitely suffer a disaster."
Leng Xuan looked up at the night sky above his head without speaking. At this moment, there are only four of the five bronze statues in the sky. It can be seen that the bronze statue in his hand is one of them.
