Gu Ning covered Ming Zhi's mouth.
Gu Ning looked at Ming Zhi with a cold face, Ming Zhi flicked his tail unwillingly, his expression was very irritable.
The irritable Ming kitten was patted on the head by his wife in the next second.
Gu Ning hugged Ming Zhi in his arms, with a cold expression, but his fingers smoothed Ming Zhi's hair again and again.
Mingzhi spoke softly to Gu Ning, but in the ears of others, it was just a series of sweet meows.
There was a female player in the dungeon who looked at Gu Ning enviously, but after seeing Gu Ning's face, she began to envy the cat in his arms again.
The female player brushed her long hair and walked towards Gu Ning: "Hey, hello, my name is Naya, what's your name?"
Gu Ning glanced at Naya, and was thinking about how to refuse Naya's attempt to approach, Mingzhi in his arms yelled dissatisfied, and stared at Naya with a grin, as if if Naya took another step forward, he would You're welcome.
Naya was frightened by Mingzhi, patted her chest, and looked at Gu Ning coquettishly: "Oh, your cat is so fierce."
As she spoke, she was about to get close to Gu Ning. Gu Ning didn't like the smell on Naya's body, so he took a few steps back and kept a distance from Naya.
Gu Ning said coldly: "Don't come here."
Naya laughed a few times, brushed her long hair and said, "What if I say no?"
As she said that, she was going to rub Gu Ning with her body, but before she got close to Gu Ning, she was warned by a wrist-sized vine.
Naya didn't believe in evil, and before she lifted her footsteps, she saw the vines attacking her quickly, Naya's expression changed, and she hurriedly dodged.
Then she said coquettishly: "Oh, you are not gentle at all, people don't like rough_violent men."
Hearing the words, Mingzhi stretched out his claws to attack Naya, and dared to molested his wife, so impatient to live!
Naya dodged Ming Zhi's attack, moved away from Gu Ning calmly, and began to pester other male players.
The male player who was entangled by Naya was a big man. The big man put his arms around Naya's waist in a showy manner, proudly kissed Naya's lips, and took a sip of incense.
Except for Gu Ning, the two players turned a blind eye, as if Naya and the big guy didn't exist.
Gu Ning kept stroking Ming Zhi to calm him down.
He glanced at Naya. This woman is not as harmless as the brainless character she showed. On the contrary, she is very dangerous.
When Naya approached, Gu Ning smelled the bloody smell on her body, which was a disgusting smell.
In this dungeon, is there an assassin?
Gu Ning, we looked at the other players from the corner of the eye, except for Naya, the others didn't see anything unusual for the time being.
While smoothing Ming's kitten, Gu Ning secretly looked around vigilantly.
I don't know if it's because Mingzhi gave him "sugar", but he feels that his body is much more sensitive than before.
His body was full of strength. He spread out his palms, and the green under his palms was obvious, more than twice as much as before.
Gu Ning poked Ming Kitten, and was going to ask Ming Zhi what happened when no one was around.
In this punishment copy, besides Gu Ning, there are four other players.
There are two female players and two male players. Naya is fighting fiercely with Pi Han. The other female player with short hair is called Li Que, and the male player with glasses is called Zhao Yun.
After introducing each other, the atmosphere became stalemate for a while.
No one wanted to speak up.
Within a few minutes, the dungeon system appeared from the sky, and a dark red phantom appeared in the sky.
[Hello, I am the system of the E-punishment dungeon]
[Your task is very simple, as long as you help the village successfully hold the Harvest Festival, you can pass the level]
【In this dungeon, the wristband function is turned off, and it can be canceled after leaving the dungeon】
[Attention, the level can only be cleared after the real Harvest Festival is held]
The dungeon system finished speaking meaningfully, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the player.
Li Yun stopped the dungeon system, and he asked the dungeon system: "The bracelet can't be used, so what should we do if we are in danger?"
The dungeon system glanced at Li Yun coldly.
[Crying, shouting, begging for mercy, whatever you do, I am only responsible for releasing tasks, not for the personal safety of players]
Li Yun clenched his fists: "You are too irresponsible, I will report you when I go out!"
The dungeon system sneered.
【Anything, as long as you can go out, you can go to host me wherever the Lord God is.】
[I wish all players a happy game ~]
After finishing speaking, the dungeon system disappeared, and at the same time, the fence gate in front of them was opened from the inside.
A group of villagers dressed in rough clothes, when they saw Gu Ning and the others, they showed vigilance and asked them: "Who are you? Get out of here quickly!"
Li Yun helped the frame of the mirror and said, "We are tourists passing by, and we got lost accidentally, old man, you can take us in."
Pointing to the nearby hills, he said, "It's getting dark soon, old man, please show kindness and take us in for a night."
Naya said coquettishly: "Old man, you can do it, please."
The big man was dragged by Naya, he was not very happy, and said in a rough voice: "We are all good people, old man, you can rest assured to take us in."
After hearing what the big man said, several people were a little speechless.
Do bad guys call themselves bad guys?
Just as the old man was hesitating, a young voice suddenly came from behind the fence gate.
The old man looked back and said hurriedly: "Village chief, look at these outsiders, do you want to let them in?"
The village head is very young, just a young guy in his 20s, with good features and clean looks.
The village chief took a look at several people, and then said to the old man: "Let them enter the village, otherwise it will be dark and the road will be far away, and it will be bad if something happens."
The old man hesitated and said, "But, our Harvest Festival is coming soon, so it's not good to let outsiders into the village at this time?"
"What's the matter?" the village head said, "They are all outsiders, as long as they abide by the rules of our Harvest Festival, it doesn't matter."
"Let them in."
The old man couldn't resist the village chief, so he could only open the fence gate and let Gu Ning and the others come in.
After several people came in one by one, Gu Ning, who was holding the cat, became a very conspicuous existence in the group.
Because Mingzhi in Gu Ning's arms is a black cat.
The old man looked at Gu Ning hesitantly, and opened his mouth several times to say something, but he didn't say anything.
Gu Ning noticed the old man's troubled eyes, so he took the initiative to approach the old man, touched Ming Zhi once in a while, and was ready to find a chance to talk to the old man.
Naya was walking in front, the village head and Li Yun were talking about something.
Li Que was very silent and didn't say a word the whole time.
Gu Ning looked around and asked the old man casually: "Old man, are there any taboos in the village?"
"You can tell me, lest I accidentally violate the taboo, and it will be bad if I delay until the Harvest Festival."
If Gu Ning said that he was afraid that he would be expelled for breaking the taboo, the old man would most likely not tell him.
But if Gu Ning said that he was afraid of violating the rules and affecting the Harvest Festival, the old man would say 90.00%.
As Gu Ning expected, after hearing his words, the old man hesitated for a moment, and then whispered when he saw the village head walking in the front.
The old man said: "There are not many taboos in our village. As long as you don't play in the caves where the statues are placed in the back mountain, and don't go into the temples casually, it will be fine."
Gu Ning thanked the old man, and walked forward unhurriedly with Mingzhi in his arms.
Along the way, while chatting with the old man, Gu Ning knew that this mountain village was called Shanshen Village.
Because there is a mountain god living in the back mountain of their village, so it got its name.
They hold a Harvest Festival every year to celebrate this year's grain harvest, and pray to the mountain gods to bless them with good weather and a full granary in the coming year.
During the Harvest Festival, they have to prepare good food, as well as good food and wine. More importantly, they have to choose a "lucky one" to become the bride of the mountain god and serve at the side of the mountain god instead of the villagers.
Before the Harvest Festival, there is also a sacrifice to the mountain god.
After sacrificing to the mountain god, the priest will distribute "longevity meat" to the villagers who have contributed to the village this year.
Speaking of this, the old man happily said to Gu Ning: "I opened a canal for the village this year, and the priest will definitely give me a large piece of long-lived meat!"
"Longevity meat?" Gu Ning asked softly, "What is that?"
The old man said excitedly: "That's a good thing!"
The old man told Gu Ning about the wonders of longevity meat.
The old people in Shanshen Village live a long life, and they all maintain a younger appearance than their peers. It is because of eating longevity meat that they have such wonderful changes.
But only priests and village chiefs know how to make long-lived meat. Because of the complicated production process, only a small number of villagers can get it every year.
The old man has been struggling for several years, and only this year he dug the canal, and he is expected to get a piece of longevity meat.
According to the old man, long-lived meat can cure many diseases. There is an old man in his village who is seriously ill and is about to die.
So his son worked hard to contribute to the village, and the priest rewarded him with a piece of long-lived meat, which was eaten by the old man.
Gu Ning remembered what the old man said in his heart, and then asked the old man about the Harvest Festival without any trace.
Seeing that Gu Ning was so serious, the old man also told him something that only people in this village knew.
"Young man, if you also want to obtain longevity meat, you can go and tell the village chief," the old Burton paused, then whispered, "The night before offering sacrifices to the mountain god, go to the cave of the mountain god to keep a vigil for the mountain god."
"In this way, after the Harvest Festival is over, the priest will give you a small piece of long-lived meat."
"Although it's not much, it's enough for you to live for a few more years."
Gu Ning thanked the old man.
The old man smiled and said it was okay, and then sighed, young people like Gu Ning are rare now.
Gu Ning got "information" in order to gain the old man's favor, his smiling face almost froze.
Nesting in Gu Ning's arms, Ming Zhi flicked his tail lazily, touching Gu Ning's clothes with his paws from time to time, so that Gu Ning could not look down at him.
Gu Ning has no choice but to stroke his hair all the time, telling him to be quiet and not to play tricks.
The houses in Shanshen Village were low, and there were not many people in the village. The village chief explained that they were all busy harvesting grain and preparing tributes for the harvest festival the day after tomorrow.
The village head arranged Gu Ning and others to live in the backyard of his house.
The village chief pushed open the door of the backyard and said, "The backyard has been unoccupied for a long time. I'll send someone over to disturb you later."
"If you really don't want to live, you can live in the front yard with me."
After the village chief finished speaking, Li Yun and Naya immediately decided to live in the front yard with the village chief.
Seeing that Gu Ning didn't respond, the village chief asked aloud, "This little brother also lives in the front yard with me."
Gu Ning became the focus of sight, and before Gu Ning could answer, Ming Zhi jumped out of his arms, glaring fiercely at the village chief and meowing.
——Seduce my wife in front of me, pretend I don't exist? !
Gu Ning held down the stick and rejected the village chief's kindness: "No, my cat likes wide places."
The village chief said with some disappointment: "That's fine."
At the end he said: "If you feel uncomfortable living in the backyard, you can come to the front yard to find me at any time."
The village head looked at Gu Ning gently, and was so angry that he wanted to give him a set of cat fists, so that he would know what price GOU would have to pay for seducing other people's wives!
No one paid any attention to Ming Zhi's cry.
After the village chief finished speaking, he left with Li Yun and Naya.
The big guy didn't leave with Naya, and Li Que remained silent.
Gu Ning hugged Mingzhi and found a flat place to sit down. There was a very thick locust tree in the backyard of the village chief. It is now April and May, and the locust tree is in blooming season.
Blossoming white Sophora japonica flowers hang on the branches, and the breeze blows by, and the faint sweet fragrance of the flowers just blows over the tip of the nose along the breeze.
Gu Ning looked up at the treetops.
A Sophora japonica flower was blown down by the wind and landed on Gu Ning's open palm.
Then, he looked down at the Sophora japonica flower in his palm, without saying a word.
Seeing this, the big guy on the side snorted coldly, and the syllable he hummed was a mockery of Gu Ning.
Players like Gu Ning who are overly handsome are easily discriminated against in the game.
In the eyes of some players, if they are outstanding in appearance and have a high level, they have climbed up to the big boss. If the level is low, they have not climbed up to the big boss, which is not worth mentioning.
Obviously, the big guy is the kind of player who doesn't like Gu Ning. He doesn't like Gu Ning, but he won't do any actual bullying until he doesn't know Gu Ning's real strength.
It's just that the big guy doesn't know that the person he despises is the most powerful person in this dungeon, except for the dungeon system and the will of the world.
The weapons in the bracelet cannot be used, nor can they be exchanged for props.
Directly let the player change from a superior mentality to an ordinary person in an instant.
They are not even better than ordinary people, they are used to the sense of superiority brought by props, how can it be so easy to quit, props are like addicts, eroding the player's ability step by step.
If one day the main god declares war on the players, maybe they will suddenly realize that the weapons they have been relying on are all from the hands of the main god.
Gu Ning knew this from a long time ago, so he never used the weapons and exchange items in the bracelet.
He also reminded Zhao Yang and Zhangzhou, but Zhao Yang and Zhangzhou were already somewhat dependent on props, and they couldn't give up for a while.
Gu Ning doesn't know what the main god means, but if the player is so dependent on the props, then in the end, it will be a dead end for the player.
Will the main god let himself design weapons to defeat himself?
It is impossible to think with your toes.
This is the soft conspiracy of the Lord God.
Let the player rely on the props silently, so that in the final level, the player will not be able to pass the level successfully.
The main god's intention is obvious, that is to prevent players from passing the final level.
So here comes the question, is the main god just setting up this game because he is stingy and doesn't want to fulfill the player's wish?
Gu Ning denied that it was impossible for the main god to spend so much effort to avoid fulfilling his wish.
Designing so many props is no less difficult than realizing a wish.
Gu Ning is well aware that the escape game is by no means as harmless as it appears on the surface.
At least in his opinion - no.
Gu Ning's biggest wish now is to restore his memory.
Thinking of this, he called 009 again in his mind: "009, 009, you should wake up."
Several times in a row, there was no response.
Gu Ning closed his eyes and dived into the depths of his consciousness, where he saw a faint light cluster emitting a warm light.
He lightly poked 009, and 009 was sleeping soundly, showing no sign of waking up.
Gu Ning did not wake up 009.
Opening his eyes again, Gu Ning stared at Shang Ming with a pair of dark cat pupils.
Ming Zhi said dissatisfied: "What is my wife thinking?"
He immediately asked: "Are you thinking about that man just now? I don't allow my wife to miss him!"
Gu Ning pushed away Mingzhi's cat's paw with a cold face.
He was very puzzled and asked, "Why do you have such a big personality change between you in the transfer station and you in the dungeon?"
If it is not the same breath, it is really difficult for people to identify as the same person.
Regarding this point, Mingzhi spread out his cat fist and said to Gu Ning: "I am suppressed by the power of the copy, and my personality may have a slight change."
Mingzhi didn't say it very bluntly, because following Gu Ning to enter the dungeon is an illegal operation, and the main god naturally didn't, and he wouldn't give him permission.
And Gu Ningjin's dungeons are all under the management of the main god's subordinates, so they will naturally suppress Mingzhi, which is also impossible.
No, there is a way.
Mingzhi secretly thought in his heart, as long as he takes the control from the Lord God, then he will not be subject to any restrictions.
But, how to tear face with the main god?
Ming Zhi secretly thought in his heart.
If you want to break with the main god, at least you have to wait for Gu Ning's memory to recover and the soul to recover before doing it, otherwise this will always be a hidden danger.
For him, and for Gu Ning, it's no small trick.
The main god is best at playing tricks and tricks, Mingzhi sighed, he was really in a daze at the beginning, so he formed an alliance with the main god.
After listening to Ming Zhi's explanation, Gu Ning found it hard to accept that dungeon suppression would turn a person's personality into the complete opposite of usual?
But this is not the time to discuss this. When Gu Ning spoke, Li Que raised his head, and stared at Gu Ning with a pair of empty eyes under his thick bangs.
Gu Ning noticed Li Que's gaze, frowned and looked back, and then met a pair of creepy eyes.
Not only is it creepy, it's scary.
Gu Ning has no fear, but still feels a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Gu Ning looking over, Li Que hurriedly lowered her head, her thick bangs and long hair covered her face, and Gu Ning couldn't see her face clearly.
The moment Gu Ning looked away, Li Que murmured in a low voice: "I want..."
The following words were too light to be blown away in the wind.
Apart from Li Que's strange gaze, the big man Qu Shi was more normal.
Gu Ning retracted his gaze and landed on the Sophora japonica flower in his palm.
Sophora japonica made a small sound, which could be heard by no one except Gu Ning and Ming Zhi.
Sophora japonica finally fell into Gu Ning's palm in the breeze. It likes the breath of Gu Ning's body, making it feel like returning to the embrace of mother nature.
It greeted Gu Ning with a small voice: "You, hello, I am Sophora japonica."
Gu Ning glanced at Li Que and Qu Wang from the corner of his eye. He didn't want to be a strange existence in the eyes of others.
Looking around, Gu Ning saw a relatively hidden and dark corner, holding Ming Zhi and Sophora japonica flowers, he walked to the corner of the wall.
Seeing this, Qu Sheng couldn't help but sneered.
But Li Que remained silent, dressed in black, and looked very strange.
At the corner of the wall, Gu Ning spoke softly to Huaihua.
He said: "Hello Sophora, my name is Gu Ning."
Sophora Hua said shyly, "Hello, Gu Ning."
Gu Ning exchanged a few words with Huaihua before getting to the point, he asked Huaihua softly: "Huahuai, how long have you been here?"
Huai Hua whispered, "I've been here for less than a month, but my mother has been here for a long time."
Gu Ning was stunned for a moment before realizing who Huai Hua was talking about as a mother. He paused and asked again: "Then your mother, do you know how long you've been here?"
Huaihua said: "I don't know, my mother never told me about this issue."
"However, I heard from other brothers and sisters that my mother is as old as the village head, and my mother should be as old as the village head."
"village head?"
Thinking of that young man, Gu Ning pursed his lips and asked Huaihua in a low voice: "Huahuai, do you know longevity meat?"
"I know," Huaihua said, "Mom said that eating longevity meat can live longer and eliminate all diseases, but mother won't let us eat it."
When Gu Ning heard the words, a light flashed in his eyes, and he continued to ask Huai Hua: "Can you also eat longevity meat?"
Huai Hua said, "Yes."
It said: "The ingredients for making Changsheng Meat still need to be taken from my mother. We can still eat Changsheng Meat, but my mother generally doesn't let us eat it."
"It said that the long-lived meat is not for us to eat."
Gu Ning wanted to ask Sophora japonica some more things, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew past the Sophora japonica flower in Gu Ning's palm.
When Gu Ning reacted and grabbed it, Huaihua had already been taken away by the wind, and he didn't know where it fell.
Gu Ning pursed his lips tightly, Ming Zhi raised his cat's paw to appease Gu Ning: "My wife, don't be unhappy."
Ming Zhi said, "Shall I get another slice for my wife?"
Gu Ning shook his head and said, "Forget it."
"Let's go and see the locust tree. I think there may be some secrets hidden in the locust tree."
Ming Zhi never denied Gu Ning's proposal.
Seeing his wife happy, Ming Kitty is still very happy too.
One person and one cat came to the locust tree. This locust tree is very big. Gu Ning couldn't tell the exact year of the locust tree, but such a big locust tree must be at least 20 years old.
Gu Ning hugged Mingzhi and walked around the locust tree, his light-colored eyes stayed on the locust tree, observing carefully.
The trunk of the locust tree is thick and the bark is uneven.
Gu Ning put his hand on the locust tree, and the touch from his fingertips made Gu Ning a little surprised.
Why is the bark of this locust tree smooth?
Looking at it again, the bark of the locust tree looks very uneven, and it is impossible to have such a smooth touch.
Gu Ning closed his eyes and went to establish contact with the spirit in the locust tree.
A faint green light appeared in Gu Ning's palm, and after a few seconds, Gu Ning opened his eyes, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Strange, it is clear that the locust tree has a spirit, why didn't it respond to him?
Gu Ning thought it was because he took too little time, so he tried again, but it still failed.
Gu Ning spread out his palms, with doubts in his eyes.
His soul has been fused into one piece, and he ate Mingzhi's "sugar", and most of the injuries in his soul have been repaired. As long as the remaining fragments of his soul are fused into his body, his injuries can be completely healed.
Even if he doesn't have soul fragments, but he has been loved by plants since he was a child, why doesn't this locust tree treat him very well?
It's not Gu Ning's illusion, the locust tree just doesn't want to see Gu Ning, and even shakes the branches, as if being blown by a strong wind, the branches are about to fall on Gu Ning.
Gu Ning was startled by the sudden shaking of the locust tree, and he didn't have time to react for a while, but Mingzhi was always watching Gu Ning, and raised his cat's paw slightly.
A sharp black air rushed towards the branches of the locust tree.
"Crack-"
The branch of the locust tree was hit by the black energy of Mingzhi, and it broke immediately, shaking and falling down.
Gu Ning quickly dodged with Ming Zhi in his arms, the branches fell to the ground, shaking up dust.
After a burst of miasma, the village head came with the villagers who were cleaning.
As soon as the door of the backyard was pushed open, the village chief saw the branch of the locust tree falling to the ground. He covered his chest with an ugly expression on his face.
Several villagers behind the village chief shouted loudly when they saw this.It seems that what was broken was not the locust tree, but their lifeblood.
Several villagers scrambled to the side of the broken branch, their faces full of depression and sadness.
"Here, what can we do?"
"Village chief, come quickly and have a look at the locust tree. It's so beautiful, how could the locust tree break?"
"Looking at the marks at the break, it doesn't look like a natural break, but this mark doesn't seem to be made by humans, could it be...?"
The villagers' thoughts diverged, and they were about to say something unspeakable. The village chief interrupted their conjectures in a cold voice: "Shut up, talk nonsense in front of the guests!"
In a word, the villagers stopped guessing, and several villagers looked at Gu Ning and the others with unkind eyes, as if they were looking at their enemies.
The village chief walked over quickly to check the condition of the locust tree. Only one branch of the locust tree was broken. After checking the condition of the locust tree, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief.
Forget it, I just need to make less longevity meat this year. Fortunately, the locust tree has not suffered any other damage.It's just a broken branch, and it will be fine after a period of cultivation.
The village chief withdrew his gaze on the locust tree, he looked at Gu Ning and the others, his eyes were sharp, and he lost the previous kindness.
He questioned the three of them: "What did you do just now, why did the good locust tree break?!"
When several villagers heard the words of the village chief, they also asked questions one after another.
"You foreigners, what is the purpose of coming to our village before the harvest festival?"
"Don't talk nonsense with them, bring them to the priest, interrogate them and the truth will be revealed."
"Village chief, you can't let go of the murderer who hurt the locust tree!"
The village chief frowned and looked at Gu Ning and the others, as if he was thinking about the proposals from the villagers.
Qu Wang couldn't help but said: "This is just a locust tree, you still want us to die?"
As soon as Qu Wang's words came out, it seemed that the three of them had something to do with the breakage of the pagoda tree.
Gu Ning doesn't want to be targeted by the people of Shanshen Village, at least not before completing the task.
Gu Ning spoke lightly and said, "I just saw a black air that cut off the branches of the locust tree."
The village chief looked coldly: "What you said is true?"
Gu Ning looked sincerely, and said in a serious tone: "Of course it is true, I never tell lies."
He silently added a sentence in his heart, words of defense are not counted.
Hearing this, Mingzhi raised his head and rubbed his wife's chin.
The village chief looked at Gu Ning carefully, but Gu Ning let the village chief watch without any panic.
After a few minutes, the village head looked away, sighed, and said to several villagers: "Clean the house first, and I will ask the priest what to do with the broken locust tree branch."
Several villagers responded in a low voice, and only started to complain when the village chief left the backyard.
"You say that the black air is caused by the mountain god?"
"What are you thinking? The mountain god is so kind to us, why would he cut down the locust tree? How important the locust tree is to us, the mountain god will not know."
"Black air? Could it be that the mountain god is so angry because he thinks our tribute this year is not good?"
"But this is already the most beautiful in the village. Could it be a tribute to the mountain god who was married? This is too shameful!"
"Those foreigners, there are two good-looking men and women, but they are a bit older."
"Don't even think about it, priests won't allow foreigners to be tribute."
"Why don't you agree? If the tribute mountain god of our village doesn't like it, if he gets angry and destroys the locust tree, then we will be finished."
"What are you afraid of? The village head and priests will stand up to you."
"That's right, the priest and the village head are so powerful, so they naturally have a way to appease the anger of the mountain god."
"Hey, the locust tree is injured. This year's longevity meat should be less."
"No way? It was a lot less last year, and if it is less this year, I'm afraid it's really one person..."
"One person, one mouth? How is it possible? There are so many old people in our village, how can one person have one mouth."
"That's true. Why are there so many old people in our village? I don't think other villages have half as many as our village."
"There are a lot of filial sons in our village, otherwise, do you think the longevity meat can reach the mouths of those old people?"
"Hey, why do the mountain gods only choose young people as tributes? Can't those old people be allowed? If this continues, there won't be many young people in our village."
"This is all determined by the priest and the village head. If you are not convinced, you can go to the village head and ask him to change this rule."
"Forget it, I dare not. By the way, why is the old village chief missing?"
"When you say that, I also find it strange. It seems that after the village chief took office, the old village chief disappeared. In the past, I could still see the old village chief working in the field, but now I can't even see anyone."
"Do you think something happened to the old village chief?"
"Don't talk nonsense. With the village head as a filial son, what can happen to the old village head?"
"That's right. Let's clean it up quickly, and then go to the field to harvest the wheat. This year's harvest is good, and I hope it will be the same in the coming year."
"Sure, the mountain god will bless us."
"Stop talking, work and work."
Gu Ning has a keen ear, and he can clearly hear the conversations of several villagers.
Holding Mingzhi in his arms, he found a wooden bench and sat down, then said in a low voice, "I heard from them that the people in this village are all filial sons, and I don't think it's quite right."
Ming Zhi flicked his tail: "Never mind him, as long as they dare to attack their wives, I will never let them go!"
"Can you stop calling me wife?" Gu Ning's face was numb, he was almost used to it.
Mingzhi said solemnly: "No."
He raised his cat's paw, feeling a little depressed: "Hey, the last dungeon was still a human being, but this dungeon has directly changed into an animal. I hope that in the next dungeon, I can appear as my real body."
Gu Ning said softly: "Don't set the flag, it's easy to fall."
Mingzhi didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, anyway, as long as I can be by my wife's side, it doesn't matter what happens."
Gu Ning reached out and kneaded Mingzhi's chin, rubbing Mingzhi into a small snoring, one could tell that he was very comfortable.
After going out just now, Gu Ning thoroughly judged that Qu Sheng is a brainless person.
Would a normal person say something like that in that situation?This is not to tell the village chief clearly - yes, we broke it, what do you think.
Gu Ning raised his forehead. Fortunately, there is no mandatory team formation rule in this dungeon, otherwise he is really afraid that people will hinder him.
at this moment.Gu Ning felt that Zhao Yang and Zhang Zhou were so reliable.
Although Zhao Yang often made mistakes, he knew what to say and what not to say.
If Qu Death played normally in an extremely dangerous situation, there is a high possibility that they will be targeted by the npc of the entire instance.
Instance NPCs cannot be easily offended.
If they offend the NPC, they are likely to be targeted. As the natives in the dungeon, they may know the clues to clear the customs, and they may also know some dangerous situations and secrets that are tried to hide.
So it is completely unnecessary to confront npc.
But there are also some brainless players who are fighting with npcs.
Qu Death is such a player.
Not only did he look down on Gu Ning, he also looked down on the dungeon npc.
Qu Zhan, who claims to be an advanced player, has completely confirmed the eight characters of well-developed limbs and simple mind.
But after a few minutes of work, after Gu Ning thought about it, he heard a loud noise.
Hearing the sound and looking around, I saw Qu Wang holding a villager's collar, and his fist was about to make intimate contact with the villager's face.
The other villagers hurriedly pulled the two of them away, and Qu Shengqi blushed.He pointed to the villagers who were pulled over and questioned: "Who do you say has no brains?!"
The villager straightened his collar and said sneeringly: "Just like you, saying you have no brains is just flattering you, you are stupid, stupid!"
Qu Zhan's face turned red when he was scolded, and his fists were clenched. The villagers were not afraid of Qu Zhan. This is Shanshen Village. As a foreigner, he is really arrogant and stupid.
Qu Zhi had no idea not to have conflicts with npcs, so he got into a ball with a few villagers, and swear words crazily.
Mingzhi stretched out his cat's claws to cover Gu Ning's ears, but he was too small to do it.
Instead, Gu Ning stretched out his hand and gently placed it on his cat's ear, blocking Qu Death's swear words for him.
Although Mingzhi was dissatisfied that he didn't cover his wife's ears, but his wife covered his ears instead, which made him very happy, and said softly, "Wife is fine."
Gu Ning's eyes were slightly bent, and he said softly: "Then you should be good, and don't always make trouble for me."
Mingzhi said aggrievedly: "I didn't make trouble, my wife wronged me."
Gu Ning didn't want to settle accounts with Ming Zhiqiu, so he glanced at him and then looked away.
This fight successfully attracted the village chief, whose face was dark and his voice was cold: "What's going on?"
"Fight before the Harvest Festival, are you capable?!"
Under the glaring gaze of the village chief, several villagers did not dare to say a word of defense.
Qu Sheng, on the other hand, is still making his mindless remarks.
Qu Death said: "The way of hospitality in Shanshen Village is nothing more than this. It is not surprising that your Shanshen cut down locust trees."
"Quickly apologize to me, or I will cut down this locust tree!"
Qu Zhan really doesn't believe in evil, a locust tree is more precious than human life.
Qu Sheng's words successfully aroused the vigilance and scrutiny of the village chief and the others.
Just as the village chief was about to speak, he heard a rush of footsteps outside.
When the village chief saw the visitor, before he could reprimand him, he heard the visitor gasp and say, "No, it's not good, the village chief..."
The village head reprimanded him coldly: "What's the matter with panic, just talk about it if you have something to say."
The visitor took a deep breath, his face turned pale: "The village chief is not good, Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin is dead!"
"The murderer, the murderer is his son and daughter-in-law!"
Gu Ning's eyes fell on the village chief and several villagers.
Didn't it mean that the young people in the village are all dutiful sons, so what's going on?
Will the filial son unite with his wife and kill his old father?
Gu Ning felt that the mountain village in front of him seemed to be covered by fog, and the truth inside was impossible to detect.
Gu Ning held Mingzhi and followed.
He had a hunch that the truth covered up by Shanshen Village would reveal the tip of the covered iceberg in this matter.
Gu Ning looked at Ming Zhi with a cold face, Ming Zhi flicked his tail unwillingly, his expression was very irritable.
The irritable Ming kitten was patted on the head by his wife in the next second.
Gu Ning hugged Ming Zhi in his arms, with a cold expression, but his fingers smoothed Ming Zhi's hair again and again.
Mingzhi spoke softly to Gu Ning, but in the ears of others, it was just a series of sweet meows.
There was a female player in the dungeon who looked at Gu Ning enviously, but after seeing Gu Ning's face, she began to envy the cat in his arms again.
The female player brushed her long hair and walked towards Gu Ning: "Hey, hello, my name is Naya, what's your name?"
Gu Ning glanced at Naya, and was thinking about how to refuse Naya's attempt to approach, Mingzhi in his arms yelled dissatisfied, and stared at Naya with a grin, as if if Naya took another step forward, he would You're welcome.
Naya was frightened by Mingzhi, patted her chest, and looked at Gu Ning coquettishly: "Oh, your cat is so fierce."
As she spoke, she was about to get close to Gu Ning. Gu Ning didn't like the smell on Naya's body, so he took a few steps back and kept a distance from Naya.
Gu Ning said coldly: "Don't come here."
Naya laughed a few times, brushed her long hair and said, "What if I say no?"
As she said that, she was going to rub Gu Ning with her body, but before she got close to Gu Ning, she was warned by a wrist-sized vine.
Naya didn't believe in evil, and before she lifted her footsteps, she saw the vines attacking her quickly, Naya's expression changed, and she hurriedly dodged.
Then she said coquettishly: "Oh, you are not gentle at all, people don't like rough_violent men."
Hearing the words, Mingzhi stretched out his claws to attack Naya, and dared to molested his wife, so impatient to live!
Naya dodged Ming Zhi's attack, moved away from Gu Ning calmly, and began to pester other male players.
The male player who was entangled by Naya was a big man. The big man put his arms around Naya's waist in a showy manner, proudly kissed Naya's lips, and took a sip of incense.
Except for Gu Ning, the two players turned a blind eye, as if Naya and the big guy didn't exist.
Gu Ning kept stroking Ming Zhi to calm him down.
He glanced at Naya. This woman is not as harmless as the brainless character she showed. On the contrary, she is very dangerous.
When Naya approached, Gu Ning smelled the bloody smell on her body, which was a disgusting smell.
In this dungeon, is there an assassin?
Gu Ning, we looked at the other players from the corner of the eye, except for Naya, the others didn't see anything unusual for the time being.
While smoothing Ming's kitten, Gu Ning secretly looked around vigilantly.
I don't know if it's because Mingzhi gave him "sugar", but he feels that his body is much more sensitive than before.
His body was full of strength. He spread out his palms, and the green under his palms was obvious, more than twice as much as before.
Gu Ning poked Ming Kitten, and was going to ask Ming Zhi what happened when no one was around.
In this punishment copy, besides Gu Ning, there are four other players.
There are two female players and two male players. Naya is fighting fiercely with Pi Han. The other female player with short hair is called Li Que, and the male player with glasses is called Zhao Yun.
After introducing each other, the atmosphere became stalemate for a while.
No one wanted to speak up.
Within a few minutes, the dungeon system appeared from the sky, and a dark red phantom appeared in the sky.
[Hello, I am the system of the E-punishment dungeon]
[Your task is very simple, as long as you help the village successfully hold the Harvest Festival, you can pass the level]
【In this dungeon, the wristband function is turned off, and it can be canceled after leaving the dungeon】
[Attention, the level can only be cleared after the real Harvest Festival is held]
The dungeon system finished speaking meaningfully, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the player.
Li Yun stopped the dungeon system, and he asked the dungeon system: "The bracelet can't be used, so what should we do if we are in danger?"
The dungeon system glanced at Li Yun coldly.
[Crying, shouting, begging for mercy, whatever you do, I am only responsible for releasing tasks, not for the personal safety of players]
Li Yun clenched his fists: "You are too irresponsible, I will report you when I go out!"
The dungeon system sneered.
【Anything, as long as you can go out, you can go to host me wherever the Lord God is.】
[I wish all players a happy game ~]
After finishing speaking, the dungeon system disappeared, and at the same time, the fence gate in front of them was opened from the inside.
A group of villagers dressed in rough clothes, when they saw Gu Ning and the others, they showed vigilance and asked them: "Who are you? Get out of here quickly!"
Li Yun helped the frame of the mirror and said, "We are tourists passing by, and we got lost accidentally, old man, you can take us in."
Pointing to the nearby hills, he said, "It's getting dark soon, old man, please show kindness and take us in for a night."
Naya said coquettishly: "Old man, you can do it, please."
The big man was dragged by Naya, he was not very happy, and said in a rough voice: "We are all good people, old man, you can rest assured to take us in."
After hearing what the big man said, several people were a little speechless.
Do bad guys call themselves bad guys?
Just as the old man was hesitating, a young voice suddenly came from behind the fence gate.
The old man looked back and said hurriedly: "Village chief, look at these outsiders, do you want to let them in?"
The village head is very young, just a young guy in his 20s, with good features and clean looks.
The village chief took a look at several people, and then said to the old man: "Let them enter the village, otherwise it will be dark and the road will be far away, and it will be bad if something happens."
The old man hesitated and said, "But, our Harvest Festival is coming soon, so it's not good to let outsiders into the village at this time?"
"What's the matter?" the village head said, "They are all outsiders, as long as they abide by the rules of our Harvest Festival, it doesn't matter."
"Let them in."
The old man couldn't resist the village chief, so he could only open the fence gate and let Gu Ning and the others come in.
After several people came in one by one, Gu Ning, who was holding the cat, became a very conspicuous existence in the group.
Because Mingzhi in Gu Ning's arms is a black cat.
The old man looked at Gu Ning hesitantly, and opened his mouth several times to say something, but he didn't say anything.
Gu Ning noticed the old man's troubled eyes, so he took the initiative to approach the old man, touched Ming Zhi once in a while, and was ready to find a chance to talk to the old man.
Naya was walking in front, the village head and Li Yun were talking about something.
Li Que was very silent and didn't say a word the whole time.
Gu Ning looked around and asked the old man casually: "Old man, are there any taboos in the village?"
"You can tell me, lest I accidentally violate the taboo, and it will be bad if I delay until the Harvest Festival."
If Gu Ning said that he was afraid that he would be expelled for breaking the taboo, the old man would most likely not tell him.
But if Gu Ning said that he was afraid of violating the rules and affecting the Harvest Festival, the old man would say 90.00%.
As Gu Ning expected, after hearing his words, the old man hesitated for a moment, and then whispered when he saw the village head walking in the front.
The old man said: "There are not many taboos in our village. As long as you don't play in the caves where the statues are placed in the back mountain, and don't go into the temples casually, it will be fine."
Gu Ning thanked the old man, and walked forward unhurriedly with Mingzhi in his arms.
Along the way, while chatting with the old man, Gu Ning knew that this mountain village was called Shanshen Village.
Because there is a mountain god living in the back mountain of their village, so it got its name.
They hold a Harvest Festival every year to celebrate this year's grain harvest, and pray to the mountain gods to bless them with good weather and a full granary in the coming year.
During the Harvest Festival, they have to prepare good food, as well as good food and wine. More importantly, they have to choose a "lucky one" to become the bride of the mountain god and serve at the side of the mountain god instead of the villagers.
Before the Harvest Festival, there is also a sacrifice to the mountain god.
After sacrificing to the mountain god, the priest will distribute "longevity meat" to the villagers who have contributed to the village this year.
Speaking of this, the old man happily said to Gu Ning: "I opened a canal for the village this year, and the priest will definitely give me a large piece of long-lived meat!"
"Longevity meat?" Gu Ning asked softly, "What is that?"
The old man said excitedly: "That's a good thing!"
The old man told Gu Ning about the wonders of longevity meat.
The old people in Shanshen Village live a long life, and they all maintain a younger appearance than their peers. It is because of eating longevity meat that they have such wonderful changes.
But only priests and village chiefs know how to make long-lived meat. Because of the complicated production process, only a small number of villagers can get it every year.
The old man has been struggling for several years, and only this year he dug the canal, and he is expected to get a piece of longevity meat.
According to the old man, long-lived meat can cure many diseases. There is an old man in his village who is seriously ill and is about to die.
So his son worked hard to contribute to the village, and the priest rewarded him with a piece of long-lived meat, which was eaten by the old man.
Gu Ning remembered what the old man said in his heart, and then asked the old man about the Harvest Festival without any trace.
Seeing that Gu Ning was so serious, the old man also told him something that only people in this village knew.
"Young man, if you also want to obtain longevity meat, you can go and tell the village chief," the old Burton paused, then whispered, "The night before offering sacrifices to the mountain god, go to the cave of the mountain god to keep a vigil for the mountain god."
"In this way, after the Harvest Festival is over, the priest will give you a small piece of long-lived meat."
"Although it's not much, it's enough for you to live for a few more years."
Gu Ning thanked the old man.
The old man smiled and said it was okay, and then sighed, young people like Gu Ning are rare now.
Gu Ning got "information" in order to gain the old man's favor, his smiling face almost froze.
Nesting in Gu Ning's arms, Ming Zhi flicked his tail lazily, touching Gu Ning's clothes with his paws from time to time, so that Gu Ning could not look down at him.
Gu Ning has no choice but to stroke his hair all the time, telling him to be quiet and not to play tricks.
The houses in Shanshen Village were low, and there were not many people in the village. The village chief explained that they were all busy harvesting grain and preparing tributes for the harvest festival the day after tomorrow.
The village head arranged Gu Ning and others to live in the backyard of his house.
The village chief pushed open the door of the backyard and said, "The backyard has been unoccupied for a long time. I'll send someone over to disturb you later."
"If you really don't want to live, you can live in the front yard with me."
After the village chief finished speaking, Li Yun and Naya immediately decided to live in the front yard with the village chief.
Seeing that Gu Ning didn't respond, the village chief asked aloud, "This little brother also lives in the front yard with me."
Gu Ning became the focus of sight, and before Gu Ning could answer, Ming Zhi jumped out of his arms, glaring fiercely at the village chief and meowing.
——Seduce my wife in front of me, pretend I don't exist? !
Gu Ning held down the stick and rejected the village chief's kindness: "No, my cat likes wide places."
The village chief said with some disappointment: "That's fine."
At the end he said: "If you feel uncomfortable living in the backyard, you can come to the front yard to find me at any time."
The village head looked at Gu Ning gently, and was so angry that he wanted to give him a set of cat fists, so that he would know what price GOU would have to pay for seducing other people's wives!
No one paid any attention to Ming Zhi's cry.
After the village chief finished speaking, he left with Li Yun and Naya.
The big guy didn't leave with Naya, and Li Que remained silent.
Gu Ning hugged Mingzhi and found a flat place to sit down. There was a very thick locust tree in the backyard of the village chief. It is now April and May, and the locust tree is in blooming season.
Blossoming white Sophora japonica flowers hang on the branches, and the breeze blows by, and the faint sweet fragrance of the flowers just blows over the tip of the nose along the breeze.
Gu Ning looked up at the treetops.
A Sophora japonica flower was blown down by the wind and landed on Gu Ning's open palm.
Then, he looked down at the Sophora japonica flower in his palm, without saying a word.
Seeing this, the big guy on the side snorted coldly, and the syllable he hummed was a mockery of Gu Ning.
Players like Gu Ning who are overly handsome are easily discriminated against in the game.
In the eyes of some players, if they are outstanding in appearance and have a high level, they have climbed up to the big boss. If the level is low, they have not climbed up to the big boss, which is not worth mentioning.
Obviously, the big guy is the kind of player who doesn't like Gu Ning. He doesn't like Gu Ning, but he won't do any actual bullying until he doesn't know Gu Ning's real strength.
It's just that the big guy doesn't know that the person he despises is the most powerful person in this dungeon, except for the dungeon system and the will of the world.
The weapons in the bracelet cannot be used, nor can they be exchanged for props.
Directly let the player change from a superior mentality to an ordinary person in an instant.
They are not even better than ordinary people, they are used to the sense of superiority brought by props, how can it be so easy to quit, props are like addicts, eroding the player's ability step by step.
If one day the main god declares war on the players, maybe they will suddenly realize that the weapons they have been relying on are all from the hands of the main god.
Gu Ning knew this from a long time ago, so he never used the weapons and exchange items in the bracelet.
He also reminded Zhao Yang and Zhangzhou, but Zhao Yang and Zhangzhou were already somewhat dependent on props, and they couldn't give up for a while.
Gu Ning doesn't know what the main god means, but if the player is so dependent on the props, then in the end, it will be a dead end for the player.
Will the main god let himself design weapons to defeat himself?
It is impossible to think with your toes.
This is the soft conspiracy of the Lord God.
Let the player rely on the props silently, so that in the final level, the player will not be able to pass the level successfully.
The main god's intention is obvious, that is to prevent players from passing the final level.
So here comes the question, is the main god just setting up this game because he is stingy and doesn't want to fulfill the player's wish?
Gu Ning denied that it was impossible for the main god to spend so much effort to avoid fulfilling his wish.
Designing so many props is no less difficult than realizing a wish.
Gu Ning is well aware that the escape game is by no means as harmless as it appears on the surface.
At least in his opinion - no.
Gu Ning's biggest wish now is to restore his memory.
Thinking of this, he called 009 again in his mind: "009, 009, you should wake up."
Several times in a row, there was no response.
Gu Ning closed his eyes and dived into the depths of his consciousness, where he saw a faint light cluster emitting a warm light.
He lightly poked 009, and 009 was sleeping soundly, showing no sign of waking up.
Gu Ning did not wake up 009.
Opening his eyes again, Gu Ning stared at Shang Ming with a pair of dark cat pupils.
Ming Zhi said dissatisfied: "What is my wife thinking?"
He immediately asked: "Are you thinking about that man just now? I don't allow my wife to miss him!"
Gu Ning pushed away Mingzhi's cat's paw with a cold face.
He was very puzzled and asked, "Why do you have such a big personality change between you in the transfer station and you in the dungeon?"
If it is not the same breath, it is really difficult for people to identify as the same person.
Regarding this point, Mingzhi spread out his cat fist and said to Gu Ning: "I am suppressed by the power of the copy, and my personality may have a slight change."
Mingzhi didn't say it very bluntly, because following Gu Ning to enter the dungeon is an illegal operation, and the main god naturally didn't, and he wouldn't give him permission.
And Gu Ningjin's dungeons are all under the management of the main god's subordinates, so they will naturally suppress Mingzhi, which is also impossible.
No, there is a way.
Mingzhi secretly thought in his heart, as long as he takes the control from the Lord God, then he will not be subject to any restrictions.
But, how to tear face with the main god?
Ming Zhi secretly thought in his heart.
If you want to break with the main god, at least you have to wait for Gu Ning's memory to recover and the soul to recover before doing it, otherwise this will always be a hidden danger.
For him, and for Gu Ning, it's no small trick.
The main god is best at playing tricks and tricks, Mingzhi sighed, he was really in a daze at the beginning, so he formed an alliance with the main god.
After listening to Ming Zhi's explanation, Gu Ning found it hard to accept that dungeon suppression would turn a person's personality into the complete opposite of usual?
But this is not the time to discuss this. When Gu Ning spoke, Li Que raised his head, and stared at Gu Ning with a pair of empty eyes under his thick bangs.
Gu Ning noticed Li Que's gaze, frowned and looked back, and then met a pair of creepy eyes.
Not only is it creepy, it's scary.
Gu Ning has no fear, but still feels a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Gu Ning looking over, Li Que hurriedly lowered her head, her thick bangs and long hair covered her face, and Gu Ning couldn't see her face clearly.
The moment Gu Ning looked away, Li Que murmured in a low voice: "I want..."
The following words were too light to be blown away in the wind.
Apart from Li Que's strange gaze, the big man Qu Shi was more normal.
Gu Ning retracted his gaze and landed on the Sophora japonica flower in his palm.
Sophora japonica made a small sound, which could be heard by no one except Gu Ning and Ming Zhi.
Sophora japonica finally fell into Gu Ning's palm in the breeze. It likes the breath of Gu Ning's body, making it feel like returning to the embrace of mother nature.
It greeted Gu Ning with a small voice: "You, hello, I am Sophora japonica."
Gu Ning glanced at Li Que and Qu Wang from the corner of his eye. He didn't want to be a strange existence in the eyes of others.
Looking around, Gu Ning saw a relatively hidden and dark corner, holding Ming Zhi and Sophora japonica flowers, he walked to the corner of the wall.
Seeing this, Qu Sheng couldn't help but sneered.
But Li Que remained silent, dressed in black, and looked very strange.
At the corner of the wall, Gu Ning spoke softly to Huaihua.
He said: "Hello Sophora, my name is Gu Ning."
Sophora Hua said shyly, "Hello, Gu Ning."
Gu Ning exchanged a few words with Huaihua before getting to the point, he asked Huaihua softly: "Huahuai, how long have you been here?"
Huai Hua whispered, "I've been here for less than a month, but my mother has been here for a long time."
Gu Ning was stunned for a moment before realizing who Huai Hua was talking about as a mother. He paused and asked again: "Then your mother, do you know how long you've been here?"
Huaihua said: "I don't know, my mother never told me about this issue."
"However, I heard from other brothers and sisters that my mother is as old as the village head, and my mother should be as old as the village head."
"village head?"
Thinking of that young man, Gu Ning pursed his lips and asked Huaihua in a low voice: "Huahuai, do you know longevity meat?"
"I know," Huaihua said, "Mom said that eating longevity meat can live longer and eliminate all diseases, but mother won't let us eat it."
When Gu Ning heard the words, a light flashed in his eyes, and he continued to ask Huai Hua: "Can you also eat longevity meat?"
Huai Hua said, "Yes."
It said: "The ingredients for making Changsheng Meat still need to be taken from my mother. We can still eat Changsheng Meat, but my mother generally doesn't let us eat it."
"It said that the long-lived meat is not for us to eat."
Gu Ning wanted to ask Sophora japonica some more things, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew past the Sophora japonica flower in Gu Ning's palm.
When Gu Ning reacted and grabbed it, Huaihua had already been taken away by the wind, and he didn't know where it fell.
Gu Ning pursed his lips tightly, Ming Zhi raised his cat's paw to appease Gu Ning: "My wife, don't be unhappy."
Ming Zhi said, "Shall I get another slice for my wife?"
Gu Ning shook his head and said, "Forget it."
"Let's go and see the locust tree. I think there may be some secrets hidden in the locust tree."
Ming Zhi never denied Gu Ning's proposal.
Seeing his wife happy, Ming Kitty is still very happy too.
One person and one cat came to the locust tree. This locust tree is very big. Gu Ning couldn't tell the exact year of the locust tree, but such a big locust tree must be at least 20 years old.
Gu Ning hugged Mingzhi and walked around the locust tree, his light-colored eyes stayed on the locust tree, observing carefully.
The trunk of the locust tree is thick and the bark is uneven.
Gu Ning put his hand on the locust tree, and the touch from his fingertips made Gu Ning a little surprised.
Why is the bark of this locust tree smooth?
Looking at it again, the bark of the locust tree looks very uneven, and it is impossible to have such a smooth touch.
Gu Ning closed his eyes and went to establish contact with the spirit in the locust tree.
A faint green light appeared in Gu Ning's palm, and after a few seconds, Gu Ning opened his eyes, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Strange, it is clear that the locust tree has a spirit, why didn't it respond to him?
Gu Ning thought it was because he took too little time, so he tried again, but it still failed.
Gu Ning spread out his palms, with doubts in his eyes.
His soul has been fused into one piece, and he ate Mingzhi's "sugar", and most of the injuries in his soul have been repaired. As long as the remaining fragments of his soul are fused into his body, his injuries can be completely healed.
Even if he doesn't have soul fragments, but he has been loved by plants since he was a child, why doesn't this locust tree treat him very well?
It's not Gu Ning's illusion, the locust tree just doesn't want to see Gu Ning, and even shakes the branches, as if being blown by a strong wind, the branches are about to fall on Gu Ning.
Gu Ning was startled by the sudden shaking of the locust tree, and he didn't have time to react for a while, but Mingzhi was always watching Gu Ning, and raised his cat's paw slightly.
A sharp black air rushed towards the branches of the locust tree.
"Crack-"
The branch of the locust tree was hit by the black energy of Mingzhi, and it broke immediately, shaking and falling down.
Gu Ning quickly dodged with Ming Zhi in his arms, the branches fell to the ground, shaking up dust.
After a burst of miasma, the village head came with the villagers who were cleaning.
As soon as the door of the backyard was pushed open, the village chief saw the branch of the locust tree falling to the ground. He covered his chest with an ugly expression on his face.
Several villagers behind the village chief shouted loudly when they saw this.It seems that what was broken was not the locust tree, but their lifeblood.
Several villagers scrambled to the side of the broken branch, their faces full of depression and sadness.
"Here, what can we do?"
"Village chief, come quickly and have a look at the locust tree. It's so beautiful, how could the locust tree break?"
"Looking at the marks at the break, it doesn't look like a natural break, but this mark doesn't seem to be made by humans, could it be...?"
The villagers' thoughts diverged, and they were about to say something unspeakable. The village chief interrupted their conjectures in a cold voice: "Shut up, talk nonsense in front of the guests!"
In a word, the villagers stopped guessing, and several villagers looked at Gu Ning and the others with unkind eyes, as if they were looking at their enemies.
The village chief walked over quickly to check the condition of the locust tree. Only one branch of the locust tree was broken. After checking the condition of the locust tree, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief.
Forget it, I just need to make less longevity meat this year. Fortunately, the locust tree has not suffered any other damage.It's just a broken branch, and it will be fine after a period of cultivation.
The village chief withdrew his gaze on the locust tree, he looked at Gu Ning and the others, his eyes were sharp, and he lost the previous kindness.
He questioned the three of them: "What did you do just now, why did the good locust tree break?!"
When several villagers heard the words of the village chief, they also asked questions one after another.
"You foreigners, what is the purpose of coming to our village before the harvest festival?"
"Don't talk nonsense with them, bring them to the priest, interrogate them and the truth will be revealed."
"Village chief, you can't let go of the murderer who hurt the locust tree!"
The village chief frowned and looked at Gu Ning and the others, as if he was thinking about the proposals from the villagers.
Qu Wang couldn't help but said: "This is just a locust tree, you still want us to die?"
As soon as Qu Wang's words came out, it seemed that the three of them had something to do with the breakage of the pagoda tree.
Gu Ning doesn't want to be targeted by the people of Shanshen Village, at least not before completing the task.
Gu Ning spoke lightly and said, "I just saw a black air that cut off the branches of the locust tree."
The village chief looked coldly: "What you said is true?"
Gu Ning looked sincerely, and said in a serious tone: "Of course it is true, I never tell lies."
He silently added a sentence in his heart, words of defense are not counted.
Hearing this, Mingzhi raised his head and rubbed his wife's chin.
The village chief looked at Gu Ning carefully, but Gu Ning let the village chief watch without any panic.
After a few minutes, the village head looked away, sighed, and said to several villagers: "Clean the house first, and I will ask the priest what to do with the broken locust tree branch."
Several villagers responded in a low voice, and only started to complain when the village chief left the backyard.
"You say that the black air is caused by the mountain god?"
"What are you thinking? The mountain god is so kind to us, why would he cut down the locust tree? How important the locust tree is to us, the mountain god will not know."
"Black air? Could it be that the mountain god is so angry because he thinks our tribute this year is not good?"
"But this is already the most beautiful in the village. Could it be a tribute to the mountain god who was married? This is too shameful!"
"Those foreigners, there are two good-looking men and women, but they are a bit older."
"Don't even think about it, priests won't allow foreigners to be tribute."
"Why don't you agree? If the tribute mountain god of our village doesn't like it, if he gets angry and destroys the locust tree, then we will be finished."
"What are you afraid of? The village head and priests will stand up to you."
"That's right, the priest and the village head are so powerful, so they naturally have a way to appease the anger of the mountain god."
"Hey, the locust tree is injured. This year's longevity meat should be less."
"No way? It was a lot less last year, and if it is less this year, I'm afraid it's really one person..."
"One person, one mouth? How is it possible? There are so many old people in our village, how can one person have one mouth."
"That's true. Why are there so many old people in our village? I don't think other villages have half as many as our village."
"There are a lot of filial sons in our village, otherwise, do you think the longevity meat can reach the mouths of those old people?"
"Hey, why do the mountain gods only choose young people as tributes? Can't those old people be allowed? If this continues, there won't be many young people in our village."
"This is all determined by the priest and the village head. If you are not convinced, you can go to the village head and ask him to change this rule."
"Forget it, I dare not. By the way, why is the old village chief missing?"
"When you say that, I also find it strange. It seems that after the village chief took office, the old village chief disappeared. In the past, I could still see the old village chief working in the field, but now I can't even see anyone."
"Do you think something happened to the old village chief?"
"Don't talk nonsense. With the village head as a filial son, what can happen to the old village head?"
"That's right. Let's clean it up quickly, and then go to the field to harvest the wheat. This year's harvest is good, and I hope it will be the same in the coming year."
"Sure, the mountain god will bless us."
"Stop talking, work and work."
Gu Ning has a keen ear, and he can clearly hear the conversations of several villagers.
Holding Mingzhi in his arms, he found a wooden bench and sat down, then said in a low voice, "I heard from them that the people in this village are all filial sons, and I don't think it's quite right."
Ming Zhi flicked his tail: "Never mind him, as long as they dare to attack their wives, I will never let them go!"
"Can you stop calling me wife?" Gu Ning's face was numb, he was almost used to it.
Mingzhi said solemnly: "No."
He raised his cat's paw, feeling a little depressed: "Hey, the last dungeon was still a human being, but this dungeon has directly changed into an animal. I hope that in the next dungeon, I can appear as my real body."
Gu Ning said softly: "Don't set the flag, it's easy to fall."
Mingzhi didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, anyway, as long as I can be by my wife's side, it doesn't matter what happens."
Gu Ning reached out and kneaded Mingzhi's chin, rubbing Mingzhi into a small snoring, one could tell that he was very comfortable.
After going out just now, Gu Ning thoroughly judged that Qu Sheng is a brainless person.
Would a normal person say something like that in that situation?This is not to tell the village chief clearly - yes, we broke it, what do you think.
Gu Ning raised his forehead. Fortunately, there is no mandatory team formation rule in this dungeon, otherwise he is really afraid that people will hinder him.
at this moment.Gu Ning felt that Zhao Yang and Zhang Zhou were so reliable.
Although Zhao Yang often made mistakes, he knew what to say and what not to say.
If Qu Death played normally in an extremely dangerous situation, there is a high possibility that they will be targeted by the npc of the entire instance.
Instance NPCs cannot be easily offended.
If they offend the NPC, they are likely to be targeted. As the natives in the dungeon, they may know the clues to clear the customs, and they may also know some dangerous situations and secrets that are tried to hide.
So it is completely unnecessary to confront npc.
But there are also some brainless players who are fighting with npcs.
Qu Death is such a player.
Not only did he look down on Gu Ning, he also looked down on the dungeon npc.
Qu Zhan, who claims to be an advanced player, has completely confirmed the eight characters of well-developed limbs and simple mind.
But after a few minutes of work, after Gu Ning thought about it, he heard a loud noise.
Hearing the sound and looking around, I saw Qu Wang holding a villager's collar, and his fist was about to make intimate contact with the villager's face.
The other villagers hurriedly pulled the two of them away, and Qu Shengqi blushed.He pointed to the villagers who were pulled over and questioned: "Who do you say has no brains?!"
The villager straightened his collar and said sneeringly: "Just like you, saying you have no brains is just flattering you, you are stupid, stupid!"
Qu Zhan's face turned red when he was scolded, and his fists were clenched. The villagers were not afraid of Qu Zhan. This is Shanshen Village. As a foreigner, he is really arrogant and stupid.
Qu Zhi had no idea not to have conflicts with npcs, so he got into a ball with a few villagers, and swear words crazily.
Mingzhi stretched out his cat's claws to cover Gu Ning's ears, but he was too small to do it.
Instead, Gu Ning stretched out his hand and gently placed it on his cat's ear, blocking Qu Death's swear words for him.
Although Mingzhi was dissatisfied that he didn't cover his wife's ears, but his wife covered his ears instead, which made him very happy, and said softly, "Wife is fine."
Gu Ning's eyes were slightly bent, and he said softly: "Then you should be good, and don't always make trouble for me."
Mingzhi said aggrievedly: "I didn't make trouble, my wife wronged me."
Gu Ning didn't want to settle accounts with Ming Zhiqiu, so he glanced at him and then looked away.
This fight successfully attracted the village chief, whose face was dark and his voice was cold: "What's going on?"
"Fight before the Harvest Festival, are you capable?!"
Under the glaring gaze of the village chief, several villagers did not dare to say a word of defense.
Qu Sheng, on the other hand, is still making his mindless remarks.
Qu Death said: "The way of hospitality in Shanshen Village is nothing more than this. It is not surprising that your Shanshen cut down locust trees."
"Quickly apologize to me, or I will cut down this locust tree!"
Qu Zhan really doesn't believe in evil, a locust tree is more precious than human life.
Qu Sheng's words successfully aroused the vigilance and scrutiny of the village chief and the others.
Just as the village chief was about to speak, he heard a rush of footsteps outside.
When the village chief saw the visitor, before he could reprimand him, he heard the visitor gasp and say, "No, it's not good, the village chief..."
The village head reprimanded him coldly: "What's the matter with panic, just talk about it if you have something to say."
The visitor took a deep breath, his face turned pale: "The village chief is not good, Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin is dead!"
"The murderer, the murderer is his son and daughter-in-law!"
Gu Ning's eyes fell on the village chief and several villagers.
Didn't it mean that the young people in the village are all dutiful sons, so what's going on?
Will the filial son unite with his wife and kill his old father?
Gu Ning felt that the mountain village in front of him seemed to be covered by fog, and the truth inside was impossible to detect.
Gu Ning held Mingzhi and followed.
He had a hunch that the truth covered up by Shanshen Village would reveal the tip of the covered iceberg in this matter.
