Chapter 1159: The past.2
The two girls didn’t interrupt his narration. Although Xiang si knew that the old man was stalling for time, there were times when clues to a mission needed to be obtained from these details.
Compared to song qingxiao, who had been asking about local legends and analyzing the clues of the mission in the stories, she was restricted in the yulun void realm.
Even though she had better conditions to enter the mission scenario than song qingxiao, she did not get much useful information because Yi Chang and the others were on high alert. It was not easy for her to find out about the black cocoon, but song qingxiao had found out more than she did.
Thus, she listened attentively to uncle Xiang’s words and did not make a sound.
“The locals are poor. In my generation, they couldn’t even afford to eat.” Because of the inconvenient transportation, backward conditions, and the different beliefs of the local people, the local people were still very poor even after the establishment of the new empire.
at this time, the new person-in-charge was newly transferred. The new person-in-charge was very aggressive and vowed to make a good achievement. After some research, they decided to develop the tourism industry according to the characteristics of our local area.
As uncle Xiang spoke of the past, the gaze in his single eye became drawn out, as if he had fallen into his memories.
Pinluo had already explained the general situation on the ship. However, pinluo’s explanation was different from what uncle Xiang had said. They lived in different times, and uncle Xiang had personally experienced this. If he explained it, the feeling would be deeper.
“The most famous one in the area is the nine Dragon cave on the Black River.” The local people believed in different gods and had all kinds of legends. Even in some neighboring villages, some legends were passed down with different contents. They all sneered at each other’s beliefs and legends and looked down on each other.
However, the legend of the Yellow Emperor killing the nine Dragons was the same.
It was because of this that the local people firmly believed that the Yellow Emperor had killed the nine Dragons. They usually avoided the nine Dragon cave when they went out, afraid that an accident would happen.
When the instructions to develop tourism were passed down, the local city Hall sent officials to carry out the preliminary preparation work. They wanted to invite a group of local people as guides to go deep into the nine Dragon cave and study the development route.
As soon as the news spread, the local area was in an uproar. Many villages joined forces to oppose it and banned the passage.
Uncle Xiang seemed to be reminiscing about the past. He paused for a moment.
However, in the end, the objection was invalid. With great rewards, there would be brave men. Tempted by money and promises, a ship sailed into the nine Dragon cave with the local leaders and staff. The story began with this.
To this day, uncle Xiang was thinking, if the new official had not taken office back then, and the City Hall had not made the plan to turn the local area into a tourist attraction, what would the land look like today?
Perhaps the nine Dragon cave would not be disturbed by anyone. Perhaps he would not have accidentally entered the legendary Yu Lun illusionary realm. He would not have been blind in one eye and almost lost his life. He would not have met Yi Chang and the others. Naturally, he would have lived a peaceful and mediocre life.
“After this ship entered, it never came out again.”
Three days later, the people under him couldn’t take it anymore and reported the matter to the higher-ups, who sent someone to deal with it. They also spent a lot of money to find the local people to lead the way and prepare to find the missing people.
“My father was one of the leaders of this group.”
The Xiang family had been doing the work of picking treasures for generations, and they specialized in dealing with the Black River that everyone feared.
The locals were more afraid of the nine Dragon cave, but there were always some people who were not afraid of death who would spend a lot of money to sneak into the river, trying to find something that others had not found. The existence of these people was one of the sources of income for the Xiang family.
The more they dealt with the nine Dragon cave, the more the Xiang family understood the danger.
But what was scarier than ghosts and evil was poverty. To the poor who needed to support their families, money was more precious than life.
Because of the deaths, and the fact that it was a ship full of people, the City Hall was willing to pay a lot of money. At this time, his father was naturally very tempted.
He had more advantages than others. The Xiang family had been in and out of the nine Dragon cave for several generations and dealt with corpses. Besides knowing some things about the cave, they had also developed a greater courage than others.
This group of people was very lucky. Perhaps they had found the right ‘expert’. After the search and rescue ship entered, they quickly found the ship that the staff was on that day and pushed it out of the nine Dragon cave, completing the mission.
