There is always a hot chicken trying to scare me [unlimited]

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Bai Yan said: "Don't you want to know what this scarecrow is for?"

Could it be that it is really just a pathfinding compass?

Everyone: "..." Think, but can you test out the function of this scarecrow in this way?

They looked at the scarecrow lying motionless on the ground eating dirt:

I suspect you're donkey us.

Naturally, Bai Yan didn't just talk, he said to Yu Fu, "Continue to take photos."

Although Yu Fu didn't get along with him, she was obedient at this time.A little light passed behind the corpse, revealing layers of black shadows, but due to insufficient light, the original appearance could not be seen.

It's just that everyone has their own guesses about these shadows.

The scarecrow lay on the ground as if fainted, Bai Yan picked it up, patted the dirt, and slammed it next to the figure on the boulder.

scarecrow:"……"

After watching it for a while, Bai Yan squinted his eyes and laughed.

The piece of cloth covering its head was actually the same as the rag on the corpse in the stone!Obviously from the same source.

"Huh?!" Song Xiang also found out, and called out in doubt.

Concubine Liu Mang followed her forward, her eyes carefully painted on the man in the stone.Sure enough, there's this scarecrow's fabric on it too.

"Could it be that the scarecrow was made of this man's clothes?" Song Xiang looked at the scarecrow in Concubine Liumang's hand. The black cloth on its head matched the rag on the arm of the man in the stone, and the connection was fine. match.

He raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch it to confirm, but the wound on his ankle was still hurting, reminding him to act cautiously.

So Song Xiang followed the guidance of his heart and silently withdrew his hand.

Concubine Liu Mang touched it with her hands, and rubbed the cloth with her fingertips, making it feel uncomfortable and rough.

"The scarecrow couldn't have brought us here for no reason, there must be something wrong with this person's identity!" Song Xiang pointed at the man in the stone, and circled around himself, "Does the grass growing on these dead people look like Guarding this stone?"

Near the boulders, there is no grass growing, and beyond a tree, there are weeds as tall as a person, and there is not even a trail.

The way they came is gone.

"No." Concubine Liu Mang raised her head suddenly, her eyes were fixed on the stone, her eyes had no landing point, she was immersed in thinking, after a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Qin Kun:

"Remember the coffins parked in every house?"

"Some had just died, while others had been dead for more than ten days. They let the corpses rot at home, but did not bury them."

"It's all because they want to sacrifice these corpses after Zhongyuan Purdue!"

Bai Yan: "You mean, those under the grass are the corpses of sacrifices over the years?" He lightly stepped on the ground twice.

The ground here is made of mud, moist, and strangely sticky, it feels like jelly when you step on it.

Qin Kun squatted down very carelessly, rubbed the dirt with his hands, and sniffed close to the tip of his nose.

Bai Yan: "?" What kind of smell?

He gestured with his eyes, but Qin Kun mused and did not speak.Bai Yan blinked, took his wrist with one hand, and leaned closer to smell it.

The fragrance of the earth blowing towards the face, also has a bit of a decayed smell, which is not pleasant.

Bai Yan: "..." So what the hell is there to ponder?

Song Xiang: "??? Is there any smell?"

Bai Yan glanced at him lightly, but remained silent.

Seeing that they didn't speak after smelling it, everyone at the scene leaned down and rubbed some dirt to smell it.

Everyone: "...?" Is there something wrong with their nose?

So what the hell is there to be silent about?

……

The chief culprit, Qin Kun, coughed dryly and crushed the dirt off his fingertips: "And the grass growing on these corpses is leading the way for this person's clothes." Clothes are the breath of this person. To this person.

Indicating that he was thinking about this just now, and didn't mean to tease them on purpose.

Concubine Liu Mang: "So it's not the grass that is guarding the stone, but the sacrifice is guarding their... big ghost." She held the scarecrow in her hand tightly, her eyes sparkling.

"!"

"Big ghost?" Bai Yan raised his eyebrows.

Concubine Liu Mang stopped talking, and asked instead: "You guys should talk about this part. I remember you once said that the object of worship in Pudu of the Central Plains is also a big ghost?" She smiled at Bai Yan, " Now, there is nothing to hide, do you have any clues about that big ghost?"

"There is really nothing to hide." Bai Yan looked at her and nodded, "About that big ghost..."

He spread his hands: "It's all my guess."

In other words, there is no information at all.

Concubine Liu Mang: "???" She almost blurted out, are you kidding me.

Bai Yan nodded to Yu Fu and the others: "At that time we exchanged information, and all you gave were guesses, so what I gave you was also guesses." He also smiled, showing his sharp canine teeth, "Yes. Come and go."

Concubine Liu Mang: "...!" She immediately looked at Yu Fu.

Yu Fu and the two were startled for a moment, and then when she saw it, they blinked guiltily.

Concubine Liu Mang: "..."

"Now it's your turn. Do you have anything to say about this big ghost?" Bai Yan Youzai Youzai.

Concubine Liu Mang almost blurted out a series of swear words, are you going to be a white wolf with empty hands?What a slap! ! !

Fortunately, her rationality prevailed, and she barely restrained herself:

"I found out that the village was about to be wiped out because of the lack of descendants. At this time, a foreigner came, and then they had hope again, and they no longer worried about destroying the village."

It can be seen that this person is not very suitable for telling stories, but fortunately she told the key points.

"So you suspect that this person is a big ghost, using some ghost methods?" Bai Yan asked.

Use ghost methods to make the heirs of this village prosperous?

"Yes." Concubine Liu Mang said, "The price is that the dead in the village cannot be buried, but the corpses are used as sacrifices to the big ghost."

"One of our tasks is to live until dawn, and the other is to complete the Purdue Ceremony. Now that we know how to complete the Purdue Ceremony, don't you feel that the first task is cumbersome? What danger can keep us from surviving daylight?"

She pointed at the man in the stone: "Maybe it's here."

Concubine Liu Mang's remarks connected everything before and after, with self-consistent logic and perfect thinking.

The eyes of Yu Fu's little girl next to her were almost on fire.

Song Xiang was calm: "But what can the big ghost do to extend the descendants of the people here?"

Yu Fu rolled her eyes: "Is this important? We might as well look for any danger first, it's more realistic to go through the first mission." As she spoke, she suddenly clapped her hands, "Wait! Will there be any threats? Is this the grass?"

She was a little excited for a while: "After the ghost gate is opened, the grass growing on these dead people may cause changes, such as attacking players. And this is the one that can solve this situation!" She pointed to the scarecrow.Because of the Scarecrow, they walked all the way, and the weeds had no hostility towards them at all!

Concubine Liu Mang looked at the scarecrow in her hand: "...It's possible, but there is no evidence yet. Let's search again, there must be clues here, it is impossible for the game to leave such a large area [empty]."

Song Xiang frowned, feeling something wrong intuitively, but he couldn't find what the problem was.

Coupled with the pain in his ankle, he almost gave up thinking: what the hell, these people are so powerful, just hang out with them, why do you work so hard to decipher it yourself.

He couldn't help but want to lean down and rub his ankles, but his gaze just happened to catch the head in Qin Kun's hand.

— This is the head of the stone man.

Song Xiang was shocked suddenly, he stood up abruptly, and almost fell to his waist: No!

"No." At the same time, Bai Yan also said, "The timeline is wrong."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

So what's wrong with the timeline?

Hint: When did their custom of worshiping corpses start?It must be a lot of fertilizer to make the grass grow from the river to the field ridge.
