It's dawn.

The red sun rising over the river also woke up the tired people.

However, when Jia Gui and his party woke up, they found that the man from yesterday was missing. Jia Gui immediately shouted.

"Where are the people?"

"Where have people gone?"

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and look for them?"

The slaves immediately stood up and rubbed their eyes, running around and looking around.

"Can't find it."

"No...gone."

"No one."

"There aren't even any footprints on the ground. Where could this person have gone?"

"If you don't walk on the ground, how can you fly to the sky?"

I searched all around but couldn't find any trace. Apart from the nearby footprints on the ground, I couldn't see any traces of someone leaving.

At this time, Jia Gui's daughter stretched out her hand and pointed into the cave. Her beautiful eyebrows were pressed together, her shoulders were huddled together, and there was panic in her eyes.

"There, in...in...in."

Everyone turned around and saw that a statue of a god had appeared in the originally empty cave.

However.

They clearly remembered that there was only one cave here yesterday and there was nothing in it.

The statue is carved from stone and is as tall as a person. It is definitely not easy to move.

Not to mention that the statue is integrated on the wall and integrated with the mountain. How can ordinary people move it?

Seeing this scene, not to mention the daughter's family, even the guards and well-informed followers present were at a loss.

"It's weird, it's really weird."

"The person disappeared, but a stone statue appeared."

"What a stone statue? It's a statue of a god. I just don't know who it is."

"That person yesterday...could it be..."

On the contrary, Jia Gui had already accepted a certain fact from his heart, and seemed to calm down at this moment.

He came closer and raised his head to look at the statue.

The statue is quite old, and its appearance has become unclear over the years, and it doesn't look much like the person it was yesterday.

But Jia Gui felt that this was the other person.

His son also came closer, with a bit more awe and less arrogance on his face, and asked him in a low voice.

"Grandpa!"

"What is going on? How can a person turn into a stone statue?"

In fact, as soon as he heard the young man's words, he already knew that he believed that the stone statue was the person who disappeared, and that the person he met yesterday was definitely an ordinary person.

This also represents the thoughts of everyone accompanying him, but they still want to hear what Jia Gui, the head of the family, has to say. After all, he is the master, and it was Jia Gui who was in close contact with him and talked about it yesterday.

Jia Gui looked at the statue, and the figure from yesterday appeared in his mind again.

at last.

He came to a conclusion.

He turned around, looked at his wife, son and daughter, and said with a stunned expression.

"We really have met a god."

When the others heard this, their expressions changed from horror to excitement. The group couldn't help but whisper to each other and talk about this matter.

"I just said, we met a god."

"Look at the man sitting here yesterday, didn't he look like a statue of a god?"

"I also think that person is extraordinary. How can a mortal look like that? He looks like someone who walked down from the sky. You can't tell he is indeed a god."

"I've seen it a long time ago..."

Such an adventure as meeting an immortal is not something that only ordinary people can encounter. His family and followers felt excited, and Jia Gui also felt refreshed.

Ever since he was demoted from the capital, he had been feeling depressed all the way, and he felt that the future was even more bleak.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt...

Perhaps coming here may be another turning point, and God may have another arrangement for him.

——

Following the mountain road, it didn't take long before I saw a mess of thatched mud houses under a valley. The crisscrossing fields were covered with snow, and below were wheat fields.

In the village, a farmer came out of the house carrying farm tools. Jia Gui stopped his horse and came to the farmer.

The farmer looked at the team, a little timid, and asked in a strong local accent.

"Who are you?"

Jia Gui immediately said softly: "Don't be afraid, I just want to ask, do you know there is a grotto on the riverside not far ahead?"

The farmer nodded: "How could you not know?"

Jia Gui: "There has always been a statue of a god in the cave?"

The farmer still nodded: "It's always been there."

From the villagers and farmers who have lived here for generations, Jia Gui learned about the origin of the cave and the statue.

According to the other party.

It has been passed down from generation to generation here that many years ago a dragon's head fell from the sky and landed on the mountain wall by the river.

Later, some strange things often happened here. Some people said that the dead dragon was causing trouble, so someone invited a statue here to calm the place.

Since then, nothing strange has happened in this area.

Speaking of which.

Jia Gui then thought about the conversation he had with that person last night. He remembered that the other person's words mentioned mountains, rivers and dragons, and he felt more and more mysterious. Everything seemed to be connected in some way.

After thinking for a while, Jia Gui asked again.

"Then is the statue of the dragon that was invited, or is it a god who can suppress the dragon of the river?"

When the villagers heard Jia Gui's question, he was also a little dumbfounded. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain why.

"How could I know this? I don't know what happened so many years ago. Anyway, this cave statue has been here since then."

"If you want to know what happened so many years ago, you have to ask the gods in the sky."

Jia Gui didn't ask further. He looked at the villages in the valley on his horse and asked again.

"What is this place called?"

When the farmer mentioned this, he immediately shouted loudly.

"We are spreading in Zhangjiacun."

Jia Gui was stunned for a moment: "Is this Zhangjiacun?"

Farmer: "How can it be wrong?"

Jia Gui didn't expect that Zhangjia Village was so close to here. Coupled with what the other party had just said about asking for a god statue, he seemed to think of something.

He asked again: "Who originally erected the statue in the cave?"

The farmer immediately said: "Who else can be invited by our ancestors in Zhangjia Village? Who among these ten miles and eight villages doesn't know?"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Gui immediately understood.

No wonder.

This small Zhangjia Village actually attracted the presence of a god to guide them out of the disaster of death.

And with one word from the other party, this village, which was destined to be submerged in mud and rocks, changed the fate of hundreds of people who died from the dragon's mouth.

Perhaps it is because at the very beginning, the ancestors of the Zhang family had a relationship with God.

Jia Gui figured this out, but didn't say it.

He just said to the farmer.

"You, Zhangjiacun, have accumulated great blessings!"

After saying that, Jia Gui left with a big smile.

The farmer was standing by the field ridge with his farm tools on his back and was a little confused. At least at this moment, he couldn't understand what Jia Gui meant.
