I am a fairy

Chapter 4 Statue of Gods
Its daybreak.

The red sun rises over the river, waking up the tired people.

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

"What about people?"

"Where have people gone?"

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and look for it."

The servants immediately rubbed their eyes, stood up, and ran around looking around.

"Can't find it."

"No... it's gone."

"nobody."

"There's not even a footprint on the ground. Where could this person have gone?"

"If it doesn't walk on the ground, how can it fly into the sky?"

I looked everywhere but there was no trace of him. Apart from footprints nearby, there were no traces of anyone going far away on the ground.

At this time, Jia Gui's daughter pointed her finger inside the cave, her eyebrows were pressed together, her shoulders were hunched together, and panic was revealed in her eyes.

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

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

however.

They clearly remembered that there was only a cave here yesterday, with nothing inside.

The statue is carved from stone and is as tall as a person, so it is definitely not something that can be moved easily.

Not to mention that the statue was fixed to the wall, becoming one with the mountain; how could ordinary people move it?

Seeing this scene, not only the daughter, but even the guards and knowledgeable followers present were at a loss.

"It's strange. It's really strange."

"The man disappeared, but a stone statue suddenly appeared."

"What stone statue? It's a statue of a god, but I don't know which god it is."

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

On the contrary, Jia Gui had already accepted a fact in his heart, and at this moment he seemed calm.

He walked closer and looked up at the statue.

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

But Jia Gui felt that this was the other person.

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

"Grandma!"

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

In fact, as soon as I heard the young man's words, I already knew that he was sure that the stone statue was the disappeared person, and he was also sure that the person he met yesterday was definitely not an ordinary person.

This also represents the thoughts of the people accompanying them, 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 had close contact and conversation with the other party yesterday.

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

At last.

He came to a conclusion.

He turned around, looked at his wife and children, and said with a look of realization.

"We really have encountered a god."

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

"I said, we met a fairy."

"Look at that man sitting here yesterday. Wasn't he just like a statue?"

"I also think that person is extraordinary. How can a mortal look like that? He looks like he walked down from heaven. Look, he is indeed a god."

"I've already seen that..."

Meeting a fairy is not something that ordinary people can encounter. His family and followers were excited, and Jia Gui also felt refreshed. Since he was demoted from the capital, he has been feeling depressed and felt that the road ahead was bleak.

But at this moment he suddenly felt.

Perhaps coming here might be another turning point, and God might have another plan for him.
-
Following the mountain road, we soon saw a group of thatched houses in a valley, criss-crossing ridges covered with snow, and wheat fields below the ridges.

There was a farmer in the village who came out of his house carrying farm tools. Jia Gui stopped his horse and came to the farmer.

The farmer looked at the team, feeling a little timid, and asked in a strong rural 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 by the river not far ahead?"

The farmer nodded: "How could I not know that?"

Jia Gui: "There has always been a statue of a deity in that grotto?"

The farmer still nodded: "Always."

It was from the villagers and farmers who had lived here for generations that Jia Gui learned the origins of the cave and the statue.

According to the other party.

They have passed down the story from generation to generation that many years ago a dragon's head fell from the sky and landed on the cliff by the river.

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

Since then, no strange things have happened in this area.

Speaking of it.

Jia Gui thought about the conversation he had with that man last night. He remembered that the other party had mentioned mountains, rivers and dragons. It seemed even more magical, as if everything was connected in some way.

After thinking for a while, Jia Gui continued to ask.

"Is the statue they invited the statue of the dragon, or is it a deity who can suppress the dragon in the river?"

When the villager heard Jia Gui's question, he was a little dumbfounded and hesitant for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly.

"How would I know? That happened so many years ago. Anyway, the statue has been here ever since."

"If you want to know what happened so many years ago, you can only ask the gods in heaven."

Jia Gui did not ask any more questions. He immediately looked at the village in the valley and asked another question.

"What is this place called?"

When the farmer mentioned this, he immediately started shouting loudly.

"We are from Zhangjia Village."

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

Farmer: “How could it be wrong?”

Jia Gui didn't expect that Zhangjia Village was so close to here, and coupled with what the other party had just said about inviting the statue of the god, he seemed to have associated something with it.

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

The farmer immediately said, "Who else could it be? We were invited by our ancestors from Zhangjia Village. Everyone in this area knows him."

After hearing this, Jia Gui immediately understood something.

No wonder.

This tiny Zhangjia Village actually attracted the gods to come to the earth and guide them out of death.

With just one word from the other party, the fate of this village, which was destined to be buried in mud and rocks, and the hundreds of people who died in the mouth of the dragon, was changed.

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

Jia Gui figured out the key point, but didn't say it out loud.

Just said to the farmer.

"You, Zhangjia Village, have accumulated great fortune!"

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

The farmer stood by the ridge of the field with farm tools on his back, looking somewhat confused. At least at this moment, he still couldn't understand the meaning of Jia Gui's words.
