Chapter 122 Eternal Life Village (12)

Cheng Xing was the first to talk about his findings: "I just went to the entrance of the village to see the dead tree. There were many traces of worship under the tree, but I didn't find anything else except red silk and lanterns on the tree."

"Worship?"

"Well, there are a lot of incense ashes and burned out candles. I don't know whether it was a tree sacrifice or something else."

After Cheng Xing finished speaking, he added with a strange expression: "There is a stone tablet next to the dead tree... You can go and take a look. It's very strange."

It was too dark last night, so no one saw the stone tablet on the other side of the big tree.

How weird it is, only the players will know if they go see it themselves.

After Cheng Xing finished speaking, Sun Hao said, "There are at least 400 households in this village. Every household is hung with red silk, and it looks like they are all inhabited. Based on a family of three, the number of villagers is more than 1,200."

There are advantages and disadvantages to having more basic NPCs.

The advantage is that you can get a lot of clues from these NPCs. The disadvantage is that once you enter the battle royale phase, these basic NPCs will become the main force chasing them.

Sun Hao and Zhu Xuan worked together, and they figured out the approximate size of the village.

When they came back, many villagers had already opened the door and saw unfamiliar faces. The villagers were not defensive at all. Instead, they enthusiastically asked them if they were classmates brought back by the college students from the Zhang family.

"Does everyone in the village know that Zhang Yang will bring people back?"

"Yes, I asked them circumstantially, and they said that Zhang Yang's mother kept saying that her son was coming back and would bring his classmates to play."

This situation is normal. In these villages, gossip spreads quickly and is very outrageous.

For example, if you go abroad, people will say that you are in jail; if you are not married, they will say that you had a miscarriage in your second marriage.

Zhu Xuan finally added: "There are no animals in the village."

They felt it was too quiet when they entered the village last night, so it wasn't a surprise.

"Have you discovered anything?" Cheng Xing asked Shi Yunfei, who had his head lowered.

Shi Yunfei didn't look at anyone and said in a dull voice: "I saw a house without red silk hangings."

Every household in the village hangs red silk, but suddenly one family doesn't, which is even more strange.

After Shi Yunfei said this, he didn't add anything more. He didn't know whether he didn't want to say it or if he didn't find anything else. The players didn't force it, and others continued.

"I didn't go out." Bai Liangyi directly stated that he didn't notice it, but he looked sideways and asked Yinsu: "Can you tell me the rules you told me earlier?"

Yinsu, who was in the auditorium, was suddenly Cued. She said nonchalantly: "Whatever."

Everyone: "???" Rules?

They also talked to the villagers, but they didn't hear a word of what seemed to be rules.

"..." Bai Liangyi stared at Yinsu.

"..." Yinsu looked back in confusion, why was he staring at her? Didn't she agree?

There was no eye contact between the two of them. Finally, Bai Liangyi seemed speechless and repeated the rules Yinsu had said before.

The expressions of several players looking at Yinsu became complicated again. Isn't she really an NPC that sneaked in?

…

…

After everyone exchanged clues, they returned to the yard. Lu Xi was eating a steamed sweet potato. When she saw Yinsu coming in, she gave her one.

Zhang Yang limped and prepared breakfast and asked them to come and eat.

Yinsu still didn't see Zhang Yang's parents. She encouraged Lu Xi to ask, "Zhang Yang, where are your parents?"

"They went to my cousin's house to help." Zhang Yang replied in a low voice: "There are a lot of things to prepare for the wedding, and it's too busy."

Last night Zhang Yang said that his cousin was getting married...but what does this wedding have to do with the copy?

"Let's go to your cousin's house and have a look." Bai Liangyi took advantage of the opportunity, "I haven't seen a rural wedding before, so I'm a little curious."

Maybe Bai Liangyi's reasons were valid, so Zhang Yang easily agreed: "Okay, I'll take you there to have a look later."

"No, just tell me the location and we'll go there ourselves."

Zhang Yang said "Oh" and didn't insist on leading the way or telling them how to go.

Bai Liangyi glanced at Zhao Chen and asked naturally: "Brother Chen, are you going?"

"No, go on your own." Zhao Chen didn't seem to be interested in the wedding, nor did he care what other people did.

Players don't know where the mural is, and asking Zhang Yang will only get "see what Zhao Chen means", so they can only do other things first.

After the players finished breakfast, they were ready to go to Zhang Yang's cousin's house.

Obviously, only the players are interested in the wedding, and the other NPCs are not interested. Lu Xi said that he needed to catch up on some sleep to avoid going to see some rustic country wedding.

The fat man had been gloomy since eating and didn't listen to them at all.

Not to mention Liu Lanlan, if Zhao Chen doesn't go, she will definitely not go.

Players then get time to act alone.

After Yinsu came out with the players, she had no intention of going to Zhang Yang's cousin's house, so she moved separately from them.

Yinsu walked all the way to the entrance of the village and saw the dead tree.

There was insufficient light at night, and only then did Yinsu see clearly how big the dead tree was. It was estimated that it would take seven or eight adults to hug it and completely encircle it.

There are more red silks on the dead trees than at night. From a distance, it looks like a big red tree.

When she walked under the tree, she didn't see the traces of worship that Cheng Xing said, but when she walked around to the other side, she saw the incense ashes and burned out candles.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw a stone tablet standing not far away.

Blood was splashed on the stone tablet, but the surface still looked fresh, as if it hadn't been splashed for long.

But you can also see the old blood stains solidified on the stone tablet.

There seemed to be writing under the bloodstains, but it was covered in layers of bloodstains and it was difficult to see what was written.

Yinsu walked around to the other side of the stone monument.

——Eternal Life Village

Three powerful words were engraved on the stone tablet, and the deep ravine was covered in red, whether it was blood or paint.

Yinsu was watching with great interest when a wrinkled face suddenly appeared from behind the stone tablet. Yinsu was startled and subconsciously wanted to touch the steel pipe.

"Are you Zhang Yang's classmate?"

A woman in colorful clothes came out from behind the stone monument with a warm smile on her face.

"The female dolls in your city are just beautiful. Look at her dewy appearance." The woman was familiar with her. She smiled and praised her several times, and then asked, "Why are you here alone?"

"Alone?" Yinsu resisted the urge to pump the steel pipe and looked at both sides of her in surprise, "I'm with my friend, where can I be alone?"

Woman: "..."

She glanced at Yinsu's side warily, only the girl's lonely figure reflected in her eyes.

The woman laughed again, "You little girl, don't scare Auntie. You are obviously the only one here, there is no one else."

Yinsu looked surprised: "How is it possible? My friend is obviously here."

She pulled at the air and pushed forward: "Auntie, can't you see them? Look, she is obviously there."

Woman: "..."
