When the beauty of cultivation enters the infinite live broadcast

"Qin girl, read the house rules."

The other girl who was supporting the grandmother together with Zhou Yixi stood with her hands behind her back and skillfully recited the family rules that Xiao Yan had violated.

"Article 12 of the Tao family rules states that one may not enter an elder's house without their consent. Violators will be tied to a pillar during foggy nights and may only return home when the bell rings."

Xiao Wen secretly felt lucky that he would not be wiped out directly, but the six people who were brought back from outside the earth building by the old man at the beginning all had solemn expressions.

The old man emphasized that you cannot go out when it is foggy at night. Generally speaking, this door is defaulted to the room door.

The punishment, however, is to tie the player to a pillar and face the night fog.

When it comes to supernatural dungeons, the first thing players think of is encountering ghosts.

Encountering ghosts is not scary. What is scary is that they know nothing about the ghost's power and have no idea of the ghost's identity in its previous life.

If you kill the ghost by mistake in advance, it is very likely to lead to a lack of exploration in the later stages, and the result will be that no one can pass the level.

No one would remind Xiao Wen because he is currently the best person to trial and error.

People are mostly selfish when it comes to life and death, let alone players with whom they have no friendship.

And even if they reminded them, it would not change the current situation, but Lian Wu and the others did not mind lending a hand at the critical moment.

They only need to know what will happen in the night fog. Xiao Wen's life must be saved if possible. After all, no one knows whether players will turn into ghosts after death in this copy.

When Tao Qin finished explaining the punishment for violating the house rules, the bell outside rang, and it was lunchtime.

The fog had completely dissipated at this time, and when the players came out of the hall, they found that there were several square tables and a large round table in the middle on the open space under the stage.

The players did not act rashly and waited for the Tao family members to take their seats first.

The first person to take a seat was the eldest grandmother, who took the center seat at the round table. Her three daughters followed closely behind, sitting on either side of her. The other women of the Tao family also gradually took their seats. Jiu Ling blended in unnoticeably among the crowd; she was always adept at disguising herself.

The round table had just enough space for all the women to sit at. The square table closest to the great-grandmother was occupied by the men of the Tao family who were of seniority, while Xie Ning sat at a table to the left of the great-grandmother.

The positions of the remaining juniors are much more arbitrary.

Soon, the lowest-ranking member of the Tao family brought out food from the kitchen. The most exquisite food was placed on the round table. In the center of the table was a jade bottle. No one knew what was in it, but it emitted a faint fragrance.

The food of players can be clearly seen to be different depending on their seniority.

The dishes on Xie Ning's table looked like those from a normal farm banquet, but the tables of Lian Wu and the others only had simple tea and rice, without any meat or fish at all.

But it’s better this way. Few people in the dungeon dare to eat meat. They don’t want to find out that the meat is from their own kind.

After Feng Ling's explanation before entering the dungeon, Lian Wu finally understood that silver needles could not detect all poisons. The time in the novice dungeon was because he was lucky, as the poison in the food happened to contain sulfur.

Hua Meng, a big prop seller, played a key role at this moment. On the second floor, he had already distributed several poison testing props.

Except for Jiu Ling and Xie Ning who were forced to go to other tables, Lian Wu and the others sat at the same table tacitly and tried a few dishes each.

In the end, it was discovered that the Tao family was too lazy to poison this simple meal, and the food was not even as expensive as their poison.

The sweet and sour pork in front of Xie Ning was poisonous, but the other dishes were fine.

However, Jiu Ling could not avoid taking a small amount of poison. Before the meal, the grandmother personally took the jade bottle and poured a cup of dark red liquid for each girl.

The wine spirit could only confirm that the liquid was blood, not wine, and a poison test revealed traces of toxins. However, the grandmother's gaze remained fixed on the girls, forcing the three female players to drink the liquid from the cup.

Jiu Ling actually thought about replacing the original with the fake one, but the grandmother was watching him too closely, and her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

The eldest grandmother left the table first and was helped back to the house by Jiuling and Taoqin.

It's time for grandma's nap.

The Tao family members left one after another. At some point, the fog outside the earth building became thicker. The Tao family members took advantage of the fog to go out to work, and their figures gradually disappeared into the fog.

Lian Wu and the others went to Xie Ning's room to gather, and by the way, they could observe the differences between the rooms on the second floor and the rooms on the third floor.

The overall layout is similar, but Lianwu still found some differences.

Lian Wu took out a red candle from the cabinet, and then took out a white candle from her room from the cloth bag she carried with her.

Everyone observed the two candles and found no difference other than their color.

It was only when Feng Ling twisted off a small piece from the candle that he discovered the difference.

The white candle feels obviously more delicate, and there is a feeling of oil gradually melting under the residual warmth of the fingertips, while the red candle has a rustling texture.

The white candle gave Feng Ling a very bad feeling, and almost instantly two words appeared in his mind.

Corpse oil.

But the smell was wrong. It didn't have the smell of corpse oil. Instead, it emitted a strange and subtle fragrance after being crushed.

At this time, Jiu Ling knocked on the door and came in smoothly after getting Xie Ning's permission.

As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the faint fragrance.

"It tastes very similar to the liquid in the jade bottle."

It was similar, but also a little different. Jiuling leaned in and smelled it carefully.

"These two have the taste of wine, but the one in the jade bottle does not."

Given the wine spirit's familiarity with wine, no one would question her judgment.

Xie Ning asked, "Is there any news from Old Lady Tao?"

"I didn't find anything obviously suspicious. Even the smell was normal. But there's one thing that's strange. I haven't seen Tao Nian before. There's no Tao Nian at my table."

Zhou Yixi had already recognized all the women in the Tao family, so Jiu Ling could easily identify them.

"I don't know if there's a custom here for the bride not to show her face before the wedding, but I didn't see anyone delivering food to a certain room. I'm now very suspicious that Tao Nian is dead."

Lian Wu blurted out: "Ghost marriage?"

"It is very likely, for I have not seen the groom either."

Hua Meng quietly walked around the earthen building on the first floor and basically figured out what the rooms were. She didn't see anyone who looked like the groom.

[Exploration 5%]

After hearing the system's prompt, everyone immediately realized that their guess was correct.

But they didn't have enough evidence, and mere verbal speculation wasn't enough to gain a lot of exploration.

After confirming the theme of the copy, the few of them immediately had a clear goal.

"Tonight we will split into two groups. One group will observe indoors, mainly studying the effects of candles, while the other group will observe the player who broke the house rules and rescue them if necessary."

Xie Ning silently calculated the pros and cons in his mind, while Hua Meng recorded all his actions in a notebook.

"There must be someone on both the second and third floors. Hua Meng, you stay in my room to study the red candles, and Feng Ling stay on the third floor to observe the white candles."

Xie Ning turned to Lian Wu and said, "Mist is essentially water. This environment should be beneficial to you."

Lian Wu nodded and had no objection to this arrangement.

"Jiu Ling, you should hide in the dark tonight. If the situation becomes chaotic, you must control it so as not to disturb Old Lady Tao."

"Feng Ling and I will be observing outside tonight. Hua Meng, have all the bracelets been distributed?"

"Of course." Hua Meng's mind moved, and a metal ring gradually appeared on his hand.

"Okay, we'll use the bracelet to send you messages. If you touch the red button and the bracelet heats up, it means we need help. The blue button will break, meaning don't come over, run away. If anything unexpected happens inside your room, you can also send messages this way."
