Following the direction pointed by the old man, Lin Yan walked on the winding small dirt road. The more he walked, the more he felt familiar. It was not until he saw the colorful fruit in the woods that he realized that the back mountain of Mushen Village was him. The mountain that woke up on the first day.

The branch that he picked off the fruit yesterday was full of fruit again.

Lin also approached one of the fruit trees that impressed him the most, but it was also severely damaged by him. Looking up, the bare branch that was touched by him at that time was covered with bright red apples.

Bai Xuqiu saw him standing under the fruit tree staring at the fruit in a daze, thinking that Lin Ye was hungry, after all, the two of them didn't have lunch at noon, so they slowly picked two apples with patterns, and handed them to Lin Ye's surprised eyes. Give it to him, and said sullenly: "...this... this kind of texture... is more delicious..."

Lin was also completely moved by Bai Xuqiu's simple actions. He had the illusion that his son who had worked so hard to raise him suddenly grew up and knew how to be filial to his old father. He reached out to take an apple that Bai Xuqiu handed to him, and put another Pushing it back, with a gentle face, "You eat too, let's go find them now, and I'll cook something delicious for you when I get back."

"If you want to keep Qiuqiu's heart, you have to keep Qiuqiu's stomach." Lin also thought so, and even the kitchen, which he least likes to enter on weekdays, felt amiable.

Bai Xuqiu was very surprised, his eyes blinked and his half-drooped eyelashes went up and down, very smartly, "...you know how to cook?!"

When Lin also heard this non-stuttering sentence, and the surprise contained in it, his vanity exploded, and he quickly swelled up, "Well, and the cooking skills are still very good."

When Bai Xuqiu heard the words, he didn't say anything else. He lowered his head and gnawed on the apple with a complicated expression.

Lin didn't notice the change in Bai Xuqiu either. After some modest self-praise, he didn't continue to favor Bai Xuqiu. The two walked along the footprints on the dirt road for more than ten minutes, and heard the old village Changing the helpless voice, Lin also searched for the voice of the old village chief, and soon found other players.

A piece of green grass was covered with blood, several bloody and unidentifiable corpses all knelt down on the grass in a strange movement, and bowed towards the same direction, Lin also followed that direction Looking at it, I saw a trapezoidal huge platform not far away, surrounded by thick and long wooden pillars of different colors, and colorful flags fluttering.

Undoubtedly, this is the altar set up by Mushen Village in the back mountain to worship the Mushen.

After Lin also saw this, his first reaction was to quickly hold Bai Xuqiu's shoulders, turn around, let his back face here, and explain, "Don't look at Qiuqiu, it's scary, I'll go and find out the situation I'll come back and tell you that Qiuqiu is waiting for me here, okay?"

Bai Xuqiu nodded obediently, lowered his head, his expression unclear.

After arranging Bai Xuqiu, Lin Ye approached the grass and saw other players standing there with heavy faces.

"How wonderful this is!" The old village head said his decision with a bitter face, "Since you have offended the wood god, I dare not ask you to paint for the wood god, old man, otherwise we will be alone The village will suffer! Young man, quickly find a place to bury your friends, and put them in peace, and then you can go back wherever you came from, our small village can't accommodate you group of big Buddhas!"

When Lin Ye came over, he heard these words from the old village chief. Looking at the players who were still alive, Lin also quickly knew that these corpses were Zhang Yan, He Xia, Qiao Qiao, Ning Mengmeng, Li Zhongguo, Bai Xuqiu has another self.

In other words, they all died, and the remaining people added Qiuqiu and himself, and the number of players returned to the original seven.

However, who can be sure that the dead person is not a real player?Moreover, what the old village chief said just now has made it clear that they have lost the qualification to paint for the wood god. From this point of view, the purpose of these masked people is traceable.

But the contradiction is that they have to paint for the wood god, and these fake faces that pop up out of nowhere don't seem to be very happy with them doing these things.

Lin also thought of many possibilities at this moment, and when he looked at Ning Mengmeng, Qiao Qiao, Li Zhongguo and He Xia, there was a faint smile on his face.

"Old village chief, it wasn't us who did this. You can't sit still, and there are four days before the sacrificial ceremony will be held in Mushen Village. It's too late for you to find someone to paint for Mushen at this time. Ah, the village head must know the consequences of the wood god's dissatisfaction with the sacrifice, I know you don't want to be a sinner of the whole village, old village head, right?" Li Zhongguo said all the pros and cons, and hoped that the old village head would let them stay Painting for the wood god, otherwise, I can only... Thinking of this, Li Zhongguo's eyes flashed a fierce light, and Lin, who was always paying attention to other players, naturally caught it.

"You, you, you!" The old village chief was impatient, and he ruthlessly moved his cane, "You threatened me! I warned you before, that you should not be disrespectful to the wood god, but you people who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, How dare you go to the altar without permission! You say that the wood god will not punish you, so who else will punish you!!" The old village chief's beard exploded with anger, "Even if I become a sinner of the whole village, I will I can't give you the chance to insult the wooden god! Go! Go quickly! Leave our village!"

"You people who have offended the gods, we dare not provoke them!"

"Old village chief, please be accommodating. It will definitely be dark after we dispose of these corpses, so let us stay in the village for another night, okay?" Scanned it all over, "I promise we'll be there the next day

leave. "

Li Zhongguo understood what Ning Mengmeng meant and agreed, "Yes, old village chief, we must leave the village tomorrow."

He Xia and Qiao Qiao also said that they would definitely leave the village tomorrow, but asked the village chief to keep them overnight.

The old village chief rolled his cloudy eyes and waved his hands, "Forget it, forget it, the dead are the worst, but you have to leave our village early tomorrow morning! Otherwise, I will let the villagers drive you out!"

"Okay, thank you, village chief." Ning Mengmeng thanked the village chief, then asked about the burial, "Village chief, where are these corpses going to be buried?" They couldn't just dig a hole and bury them.

"It's buried here," the old village chief tapped the grass under his feet with his crutches, "Go to the village to get shovels and mats first, people who have offended the gods are not worthy of coffins, just wrap them in mats and bury them, but you Remember to put up a wooden sign for them."

"Okay, we got it." Ning Mengmeng looked at He Xia and Qiao Qiao, "You and the village chief go back and bring a shovel and a mat. We will stay here and look at the corpse, so as not to be snatched away by some animal."

"Okay, sister Ning." Qiao Qiao and He Xia nodded and followed the village chief.

The old village chief was a little worried about them, and before leaving, he specifically told them not to approach the altar, otherwise if something bad happens, don't blame him and deal with it according to the village rules.The old village head also specifically mentioned the village rules, saying that people like them who aroused the wood god's anger would be buried alive as fertilizer. He saw that they were from the village and he personally invited them to paint for the wood god. For the sake of human beings, the village rules were not strictly enforced. Otherwise, according to today's situation, they would have to be fertilizers.

After the village head was no longer in sight, Ning Mengmeng looked at Lin Ye, and also glanced at Bai Xuqiu, who was not far away from here, and said her plan, "We're going to the altar to have a look. go?"

"I'm definitely going to see the altar." Even if Ning Mengmeng didn't say anything, Lin would secretly go to have a look, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Bai Xuqiu."

"Well," Ning Mengmeng replied, holding her chest, seeing Lin Ye walking up to Bai Xuqiu, lowering her head and saying something, and then seeing them walking over hand in hand, she smiled, and said inexplicably: "You guys have such leisure and elegance."

Lin also smiled and said nothing, took Bai Xuqiu's hand, and the four of them walked towards the altar. The altar is not very close to here, but it is not far away. The few people walked quickly, and it took about 10 minutes to reach the altar. The periphery of the altar.

Seven tall colorful wooden pillars surrounded the huge altar in the form of guards. I couldn't see it clearly from a distance before, but now I looked at it so close, and Lin also found that there were seven colorful vines between the wooden pillars. They are connected, and the colors of the seven wooden pillars are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, the seven colors of the rainbow.

Ning Mengmeng and Li Zhongguo obviously noticed this too. After observing carefully in front of the altar, they stepped closer and bent over the colorful vines. A grand and sacred altar appeared in front of the four of them. .

The trapezoidal altar looks like a complete boulder. The boulder looks simple but has extremely strange lines. The trapezoidal boulder that is used as the front of the altar has been carved out by manpower to create a ladder leading to the top of the altar. As the height of the ladder increases, The first stone steps also decreased in order from large to small, and the width of the last few steps was less than half the width of the sole of a foot. Lin also carefully supported Bai Xuqiu, and it took the four of them a long time to reach the top of the altar.

The scene on the top of the altar is completely different from what Lin Ye saw below. Looking up, the sky is a clear blue, with white birds flying in it, and the mountains in the distance are undulating, and the dense treetops are winding into golden and green. wave.The altar under his feet was hard and cold, and the surface of the quaint boulder was covered with bright red totems, and the color of the boulder itself could hardly be seen.

Bai Xuqiu stood beside Lin Ye, their shoulders were almost touching. While Lin Ye was looking at the scenery, Bai Xuqiu was watching Lin Ye calmly. Under the strong sunlight at noon, Bai Xuqiu looked at Lin Ye calmly. A small rainbow flickers on and off, and the full forehead is covered by soft short hair. Only when the wind blows, a small black wavy line covered by bangs will appear, and the wavy line marked Lin Ye squinted his eyes slightly, observing the surroundings of the altar intently. Like Bai Xuqiu's eyelashes, Lin Ye's eyelashes were not curled up, but drooped down. Also, the whole person feels like an extremely well-behaved young man.

Bai Xuqiu looked at the people around him, his eyes narrowed slightly, his lips that were pursed and whitish now became as bright as blood.

"This totem can actually move?" Ning Mengmeng's puzzled voice sounded from behind, a look of displeasure flashed across Bai Xuqiu's face, but he followed Lin Ye obediently.

Lin also looked at the surface of the altar that Ning Mengmeng pointed to, and found that the surface of the boulder was gradually appearing, while the bright red totem was disappearing bit by bit, like blood flowing away, but within a few breaths, the original completely The bright red that covered the entire top of the altar disappeared, and the rustic surface of the boulder was completely revealed.

"This must be related to the content on the miracle card we were going to draw before." Ning Mengmeng affirmed, "I just don't know that this totem is still alive..."

Lin also looked at the two people who were puzzled, and generously stated his discovery, "I have seen this disappearing totem on the miracle card."

"How is it possible?!" Li Zhongguo didn't believe what Lin Ye said, "I have read all seven miracle cards, and none of the miracle cards have the same painting as this totem."

Ning Mengmeng was silent for a while, and said her own thoughts, "He's right," and then looked at Lin Ye, "The pictures on the seven miracle cards can indeed be pieced together to form the totem just now."

"That's true." Lin Ye nodded, and subconsciously looked at Bai Xuqiu next to him. His expression was like that of a child seeking praise. Bai Xuqiu scratched Lin Ye's palm very politely, and lowered his head shyly. sniggering.

Lin, who got the response, was so excited that he wanted to jump down from here. He never thought that such a timid and lovely Qiuqiu would take the initiative to scratch his palm! ! ! !Lin also felt that his heart and liver were trembling from being scratched by Bai Xuqiu's little paws, and his mood was extremely beautiful.

Ning Mengmeng looked coldly at the two people who kept popping out pink bubbles, and reminded, "The totem has come out again."

Lin also didn't feel embarrassed being looked at by Ning Mengmeng and Li Zhongguo. He kept a happy smile and looked at the red totem that slowly appeared under his feet.

Near the stone steps, a red spherical object the size of a human head first appeared. Lin also thought it looked like a seed. The next moment, he saw sharp red shoots emerging from the spherical object, and saw that the sprouts continued to grow thicker. Thick vines, I saw the vines surrounding the entire surface of the altar bloom with red gorgeous flowers, I saw those flowers withering and withering, and then the fruits that were exactly the same as the seeds at the beginning fell like a meteor shower... Until the totem completely disappears, then it will sprout and grow again and again.The process of flowering, fruiting, and withering.

And this coincides with the content on the seven miracle cards.

"There is already a wood god totem on the altar, why do you need to draw it again?" Li Zhongguo was puzzled.

"Even if I want to draw, I don't know what to draw." Ning Mengmeng took out the seven miracle cards and examined them carefully, "I think the village chief is deliberately misleading us, maybe we don't want to draw a picture of the wood god at all. "

When Ning Mengmeng said this, she said it to Lin Ye, and Lin Ye nodded, but she said it to Bai Xuqiu beside her, "Yes, the village chief is indeed misleading us, the task issued by the system is 'for "Mushen painting" is not the literal meaning. I don't know if you have noticed that in this so-called Mushen Village, there seem to be only two villagers. One of them is the village head, and the other is also an old man. But I guess, that The old man is the old Liu in the mouth of the village chief."

Bai Xuqiu lowered his head and didn't look at Lin Ye, but he was scratching Lin Ye's palm vigorously with his fingers, and his ears were so red that he could bleed.

Lin was also very satisfied with Bai Xuqiu's reaction, and happily decided to seize every opportunity to express himself in front of Qiuqiu in the future, and strive to become the person in Qiuqiu's heart that can never be surpassed by other coquettish sluts!

"Then what do you think 'painting for the wood god' means? I don't know, such a simple sentence can have other meanings."

Li Zhongguo disdainfully said that he didn't have a good temper with this first-time rookie who stole his limelight.

Lin also smiled at Li Zhongguo, and said the infuriating words word by word, "I won't tell you!"

"You're courting death!" Li Zhongguo pointed at Lin Ye and gritted his teeth.

"Okay!" Ning Mengmeng yelled, displeased, "Stop arguing, it's still arguing at any time! Li Zhongguo, give way to newcomers, don't blow it up, and I think Lin also said that It makes sense, if you can't think of it yourself, can others not think of it?"

Ning Mengmeng's words can be said to be very sharp and disrespectful to Li Zhongguo, but no matter how dissatisfied Li Zhongguo is, he can't lose his temper.

There is not much time left in them.If there were really only two old men in the village, they could force them to stay and do the mission, but other accidents could not be ruled out, so time was still very precious, and it really shouldn't be wasted on such useless quarrels.

After Li Zhongguo figured it out, he snorted coldly and said nothing more. He was just a rookie, and there would be opportunities to deal with him in the future.

"Lin Ye, do you have any other ideas?" Ning Mengmeng asked, obviously, she believed in Lin Ye, a newcomer.

"No more." Lin also shrugged, seeing Ning Mengmeng staring at him, innocently said, "This time it's really gone...I'm just a newcomer, you can't ask too much of me."

When Li Zhongguo heard this, he scoffed.

The corner of Ning Mengmeng's mouth twitched, and she didn't ask Lin Ye any more, and ran through the clues she found during this period of time several times in her mind.

Bai Xuqiu looked at the innocent Lin Ye, pursed his lips, and couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

Then Lin, who was caught laughing, scratched his palm, itching...and warm...

Lin Ye didn't let him go until he scratched Bai Xuqiu so hard that he couldn't lift his head, and said in a shocking sentence: "But I found the paintbrush."

Ning Mengmeng closed her eyes deeply, then opened them again quickly, and said helplessly, "Can you speak like this... choppy."

Lin also just smiled.

"Just find the paintbrush," Ning Meng thought for a while, and said what she could think of: "If the village chief deliberately misled us, making us think that painting is simply copying the paintings on the so-called miracle cards As for the sacrificial altar, then why did he do it? What is the purpose of doing this? If it is not for the sacrifice, then why did he invite us to the village? Why are there no other villagers in the village? What is the purpose of the sacrifice? Does the wood god really exist?"

"And," Lin also added, "what exactly were the masked men before, what was their purpose, and what did the totems on the altar contain."

A series of questions surrounded everyone, and the bright red totem on the altar kept disappearing and reappearing, repeating and repeating.

The time spent on the altar was already long enough. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the four of them observed the altar carefully and rushed back to the grassland immediately.

The seven corpses on the grass remained as they were, and they worshiped in the direction of the altar strangely. Lin also placed Bai Xuqiu in a place far away, and squatted down to examine these corpses carefully.

Lin had some guesses before, but now that he saw the corpse, he showed such an expression. Ning Mengmeng was about to ask Lin if he found anything, but the village chief came over at this time.

Qiao Qiao and He Xia followed the village chief with a shovel and a mat. Qiao Qiao and Ning Mengmeng looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and bury these corpses, remember to write a wooden board." After finishing speaking, the village chief hurried back. There are fourteen people left here, seven of them are angry. out of breath.
