Cub Players [Unlimited]
Chapter 73 Sleeping Statue Balance
The crew of the ghost ship said that there is only one hotel on the island, and Yueya easily asked the location of the hotel from the passers-by.
There are fewer residents on this island than imagined, and there are many fewer people after leaving the pier.
When passing by the square, Yueya was attracted by the huge statue in the center of the square. The statue was wearing armor, holding a huge axe, and looked down at all living beings with its head down.
At the foot of the statue is a flower bed, with four ancient characters engraved in the center, the style is strange, Yueya has never seen such characters.
Yueya asked the professor: "Teacher, do you know what these four words mean?"
The professor was obviously a little excited, and adjusted his glasses: "I read it in ancient books. Those four words are 'Shenming Square'. According to ancient books, the place of miracles has a completely different mythology system. It is said that the gods once used a ray of spirit to Turning into a giant, and turning the stars into a giant axe, the giant stands on the island day and night, with a tall body that can see the distant sea, guarding the people on the island."
The professor looked up at the giant statue, and said slowly: "This is the patron saint of the Miraculous Land, Ali. The Miraculous Land is right under our feet, and we did not go to the wrong place."
The gods in the story protect people and are revered and believed by people, but isn't that ghost ship also made by "gods"?The gods made the believers crazy and made them voluntarily sacrifice their lives for themselves.Yueya couldn't see God, but only saw evil spirits pretending to be God.
Yueya looked away, unwilling to look at the statue of the patron saint again.
After a while, a group of islanders pushed a float and carried tools to the Shinjin Square. They replaced the flowers in the flower beds, began to clean the idols, and tied silk and satin to all the places that could be decorated.
Unknowingly, the square became busy, and every islander who came here was filled with happiness, as if some happy event was about to come.
"Is this preparing for some kind of celebration?" Zhuang Yan asked casually.
The professor scratched his head: "There is no record in ancient books, and I don't know much about it."
Yueya stopped an islander carrying a bucket and smiled gently: "Hello, we are tourists who have just landed on the island. Are there any festivals on the island?"
The islanders smiled back and said enthusiastically, "Then you guys are really catching up with the good times. We are preparing for the celebration of worshiping the gods. This is our most important festival of the year, and the island will be very lively."
"God sacrifice celebration?" Yueya frowned: "Which god, what kind of sacrifice will you use?"
He remembered a sentence in an ancient book that believers voluntarily sacrificed their souls just to allow the gods to return to the world.
Their task is to stop the conspiracy on the lost island. Could this conspiracy be related to the festival of worshiping the gods?
The smiles on the faces of the islanders have not diminished by half: "We only believe in one god, and all the patron saints on the island are her incarnations. During the celebration of worshiping the gods, we will clean all the temples and altars, and present the most beautiful things on the island to the gods. Flowers, the most precious wine, and gifts made by us. You can also use our methods to worship the gods, and the gods are merciful and will definitely protect you."
The islander nodded to Yueya, and hurried away with the bucket.
"It's too fresh and simple to use flowers, fine wine, and gifts as sacrifices," Black Tea folded his hands and thought, "Maybe it's just some kind of metaphor, for example, flowers are not ordinary flowers, fine wine is fresh blood... and so on. "
Yueya nodded in agreement: "If the taste of this god is so fresh, he won't attract us to the island."
The companions were still talking, and Yueya suddenly felt that there was a gaze behind him, and he glanced back, but found nothing unusual.
Yueya didn't completely let go of her guard, and said softly, "I feel like something is following us."
The players calmed down and looked around at the same time, but still did not catch any abnormalities.
Xuecha said: "Actually, I also had this feeling just now."
"Maybe we are really being targeted, everyone should be more careful," Zhuang Yan pursed his lips: "We don't know the depth of this island yet, so try not to be alone."
[Moon Cub's intuition has always been very accurate, I'm already getting a little hairy]
[Could it be that the goldfish boy on the fishing boat followed up secretly? ]
[That guy must be playing with the prey he just got, how could he have time to follow the player]
[you make sense]
The hotel is located in the alley near the Shenming Square. It is a small three-story house. The outer wall is covered with green creepers. There are large and small flower pots in front of the door, which is very warm.
Yueya had never seen this kind of flowers before, so she couldn't name them at all.
The door of the hotel was wide open, and when Yueya entered the lobby, she saw the players sitting in the rest area.
The man in leather glared at him unkindly: "You have the hotel's deposit receipt in your hand, and you walked so slowly, making us wait so long."
Yueya treated him like air, didn't give any response, and took the professor to the front desk to check in.
After the man in the leather jacket was ignored, his face became more gloomy, and he clenched his fists as he stared at Yueya's back.
There was only a young girl with a ponytail at the front desk, and Yueya put the receipt on the stage: "Hello, we booked a room with the proprietress and paid a deposit, here is the receipt."
The girl at the front desk took the receipt and showed a subtle smile: "It's a distinguished guest."
"How much balance do we have to pay?"
The girl at the front desk smiled broadly, her eyes squinted: "Recently, we are preparing for the celebration of worshiping the gods. In order to express our respect to the gods, the store does not accept cash recently. Guests need to collect sacrifices and use helpers to offset the balance."
Yueya: "Isn't it okay to give cash directly?"
Yueya still wants to struggle.Free things are the most expensive, he doesn't believe that the offerings that the hotel wants are ordinary flowers and wine.
The girl at the front desk shook her head, put the receipt on the table and pushed it in front of him: "No, if you don't want to accept this rule, you can only find another place to stay. And the deposit can only be refunded by the proprietress herself."
The black tea rested on his forehead, and complained in a low voice: "This is a black shop."
The girl at the front desk heard her complaints and smiled and said, "We are a regular hotel, and we are the only hotel on the island."
Staying in a hotel is currently the best solution. Yueya didn't collect the receipt: "What sacrifices do we need to collect? What do we mean by helpers?"
"Our store accepts two kinds of offerings: Bone Spirit Flower and Holy Water. If you are a helper, you can choose to clean the temple or the altar."
It is not easy to hear the name, Yueya sighed softly: "You need to tell us where these sacrifices are and introduce them."
"The bone spirit flower grows deep in the dense forest, and the holy water is in the dragon's cave." The girl at the front desk took out two pointers: "Just follow the pointers, and you can find these two places. When you arrive at the place, you can recognize the target at a glance." .As for the helpers, you can ask the person in charge to get a work certificate after you finish the work. If you can get the bone spirit flower and holy water before midnight, and clean the altar or temple, the shop will let you stay for seven days for free and provide three meals oh."
Yueya took the pointer away: "Got it."
Zhuang Yan: "I have already started to have a headache."
Black tea stall hand: "There is no way, we have arrived at someone else's territory, how can it be so easy to find a place to stay."
"You must be very tired after traveling and traveling. This store can provide you with a free breakfast first. You can go to work after you finish your meal." The girl at the front desk walked out of the counter and opened a door: "You can store your luggage first. here."
After putting their luggage, the front desk took them to the restaurant.
On the way, I smelled the fragrance, and rubbed the black tea on my growling stomach: "Although it is a black shop, it prepared breakfast for us, which is quite human."
There are only a few tables in the restaurant. After the players are seated, the waiter will serve the food immediately. The table is quickly occupied by hot dishes, such as palm-sized crabs, two-finger-thick sea prawns, a beautiful sashimi platter, and a large pot of raw meat. Octopus silk... a veritable seafood feast.
The octopus tentacles are still wriggling, you can imagine how fresh they are, maybe 1 minute ago they were well under the head.
The smiles on the faces of the players froze, and they all showed suspicious expressions of life.
"Isn't it good to eat so richly early in the morning?"
The girl at the front desk said: "The island is rich in seafood, which is not rich, but just a regular dish. If you don't have enough, you can order more. Our chef likes to prepare delicious food for the first-time guests."
[I can't face octopuses anymore, woohoo, I will think of those ugly human-faced octopuses]
[The faces of the players are all green, you still have to be careful when eating in this instance]
"We are not used to seafood, can we change to other dishes?" Some players said: "Ordinary porridge and side dishes are fine."
The girl at the front desk was a little embarrassed, but she nodded: "I'll go and discuss it with the chef."
After 10 minutes, the seafood feast was withdrawn, and the players smiled comfortably as they looked at the light porridge and side dishes.
"I don't want to be drilled into my stomach by an octopus again." Black Tea took a sip of the porridge, took another bite of the cold side dish, and licked his lips contentedly: "This side dish is quite delicious, what is it made of?"
The girl at the front desk said: "Gongcai, there are chopped kelp in it."
Black Tea frowned: "The kelp should be fine, right?"
Yueya thought for a while: "It's better not to eat it, just be careful."
"you're right."
At the dinner table, the players discussed the next plan, and they decided to divide into three batches to carry out the tasks separately.
The professor wanted to study the altar, so he went to help the altar with a man in black and leather.
Another group of players was in charge of finding the Bone Spirit Flower. Because of worries, Hongcha Xuecha decided to follow these players to the dense forest.Yueya and Zhuang Yan took the others to find the holy water.
The man in leather stood up and glanced at the players: "We are now grasshoppers on the same rope. I suggest that you put aside your personal grievances and do the task well. With me on our team, we will definitely get a work certificate. So I can bring back the bone spirit flower and the holy water, and don't drag everyone down."
Black Tea snorted and said, "You'd better do what you say."
Xuecha looked at Yueya: "Be careful."
Yueya nodded, and said in her usual gentle voice: "Remember to keep an eye on your back. I suspect that the thing following us hasn't left yet, but I don't know which team it will continue to follow."
There are fewer residents on this island than imagined, and there are many fewer people after leaving the pier.
When passing by the square, Yueya was attracted by the huge statue in the center of the square. The statue was wearing armor, holding a huge axe, and looked down at all living beings with its head down.
