Strange World Survival Manual

It's not surprising that there is no one in the town. That's why Li Si brought everyone out.

Otherwise, such a large group of people would easily attract others' attention.

"Judging from the records at that time, the scholar came home from Tianmen Village. We only need to take the road from Wangxi Town to Tianmen Village to find the place where the scholar met the ghost." Li Si saw the town , looked at everyone.

When everyone heard this, excitement showed on their faces.

If you find that place today, you will most likely be able to head to the next level, which will bring you one step closer to leaving here.

Afterwards, everyone entered Wangxi Town.

The town seemed very quiet at this time. The faint moonlight fell on the town, illuminating the deserted streets.

"Brother Li, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful if we go to the next level this time." After entering Wangxi Town, Zhang Yuan said in a low voice next to Li Si: "If I guess correctly, this kind of passage is always guarded by ghosts. If we are not allowed to enter the next level, people will die in many places."

"You mean, after the scholar killed the ghost, there was another ghost here?" Li Si thought for a moment, then frowned and said.

"nature."

Zhang Yuan nodded, paused, then shook his head and smiled: "Didn't you find the debate between ghosts and non-ghosts interesting before? It is very likely that we will meet the real owner this time."

Hearing his words, Li Si raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised, "Do you think the ghost guarding this place is probably the scholar?"

"I'm not very sure." Zhang Yuan had a smile on his face and rubbed the fan in his hand. "I just think it's possible. After all, it's interesting, isn't it? What's more, only this explanation can explain why there are not many deaths in that place. "

After hearing this, Li Si was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you think that just because the new ghost is the scholar, he didn't harm the people in the village?"

He had only seen this kind of person who suppressed ghost nature a few times. He didn't expect to meet such a person here.

"Not necessarily. It is the nature of ghosts to eat people and it is difficult to restrain them." Zhang Yuan shook his head and unfolded the folding fan in his hand, revealing a beautiful half-human and half-demon head. "It is more likely that he eats people, but someone gave him It’s a cover, so the officials here don’t know.”

At this time, everyone passed by a corner.

Zhang Yuan paused and turned to look at a tall ancestral hall next to him.

As he looked towards the ancestral hall, everyone stopped and followed Zhang Yuan's gaze.

I saw three words written on the plaque of the ancestral hall: Wang Xi Temple.

When Li Si saw this scene, he looked at Zhang Yuan strangely. This was a prophecy.

Since this is called Wang Xi Temple, and it is not an ancestral hall built for Wang Xi, then who was it built for?

At the same time, Li Si's nose twitched slightly, and his brows furrowed.

He also smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

Although the smell of blood was so light that it was almost impossible to smell it, after many times of fighting, he was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, so he could smell it right away.

Afterwards, Li Si and Zhang Yuan looked at each other and led everyone towards the Wang Xi Temple.

Walking to the side of Wang Xi's Ancestral Hall, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.

It's just that there is still a strong smell of incense here, which is entangled with the smell of blood, making the smell seem a bit weird.

"The smell here is quite good." At this time, Zhang Yuan muttered softly.

Li Si glanced at him speechlessly. He didn't know that Zhang Yuan had such interests.

Seeing him, a clear smile appeared on Zhang Yuan's face.

"Let's go in and take a look." Li Si didn't want to say anything to Zhang Yuan, holding the long sword in his hand.

As his hand moved, the sword light flashed.

"Ding……"

With a crisp sound, the door lock fell to the ground.

When everyone saw the clear sword light, they felt a chill pass over their skin, and goosebumps stood up.

If this sword fell on him and others, his soul might have died.

At this time, everyone in Meihuawu also had a certain understanding of Li Si's strength. They also put away their contempt and treated Li Si with more respect.

"How many times..."

Li Si pushed open the door, and there was a heart-wrenching sound of wood scraping.

As the door opened, a strong smell of blood hit his face.

This smell was also accompanied by the smell of incense and a subtle smell of dead mice, which made everyone frown.

After opening the door, Li Si led everyone in.

Passing around the screen in front of the door, the scene inside the ancestral hall came into view.

What I saw in front of me was an ordinary ancestral hall, with an abbot of no more than a hundred square meters.

Inside the ancestral hall, there is a table made of wood.

On the table, there is a memorial tablet. The names on this tablet all start with the character "王". They are obviously the ancestors of Wangxi Village.

What caught Li Si's attention was that there was a painting hanging above those tablets.

The painting shows a man dressed as a scholar, standing upright and looking ahead with a smile.

This painting looks a bit rough, and perhaps because of its age, the paper is yellowed and tattered.

The scholar's originally kind smile looked a bit ferocious and terrifying under the moonlight.

"This Wangxi Village may have become Wangxi Village." Zhang Yuan couldn't help but smile at Li Si when he saw the painting.

Li Si nodded. He seemed to have figured it out. As Zhang Yuan said before, Wang Xi might have really become a ghost and was worshiped here.

Then, he looked at a stone trough made by hollowing out a stone in the courtyard. The inside of the stone trough was dark and looked a bit shabby.

In front of the stone trough, there is a jar with some thin wooden sticks left after the incense has been burned.

The smell of blood and incense just now came from the stone trough and jar.

Li Si frowned when he saw the dark marks on the stone trough. He knew what this thing was without even thinking about it.

This is probably the blood stain left by dried blood.

The outside of this stone trough is very clean. It is obvious that someone cleans it frequently.

But the blood stain in the blood tank is still so heavy. You can imagine how much blood was produced here, so that the blood stain cannot be washed away at all.

"Wang Dexing sacrificed her daughter to the gods on the thirteenth day of April in the year 319 of the celestial calendar..." It was at this time that someone murmured.

Li Si looked around and saw a person in Meihuawu standing in front of the courtyard wall watching.

There is a long black stone slab inlaid on the wall, with dense fonts on it.

Then, Li Si stepped forward and took a closer look.

It is like a book of merits and deeds, writing down the things people here have done for their gods.

Most of what was written above was about sacrificing women, and they all used the sentence structure mentioned before in Meihuawu.

And this wall, front, back, left, right, combined, is probably more than twenty or thirty meters long.

Even the people in Meihuawu felt chilled by the records on the black stone slab in front of them.

Although they had seen a lot of people oppressing abandoned people on the Sea of ​​Turmoil, it was definitely not as creepy as the parents sacrificing their children in front of them.

"This village probably despises women. It can be said that exchanging things they don't like for things they need is a good deal." At this time, Zhang Yuan's words came from the side.

"Human lives cannot be traded, even their parents cannot do this." Li Si said slowly after hearing Zhang Yuan's words.

He remembered what the original owner's parents had done, and how similar it was to what was happening before him.

Everyone cannot choose their own family. Although they need to be grateful to their parents for bringing them life, this does not mean that parents can influence the choices and lives of their children.

This is not unfilial, but there is no distinction between high and low in life, and we should respect each other.

"Besides, it's not right for men to be superior to women." Li Si then continued.

He is from the earth, and he hates this kind of patriarchal thing from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, he was also disgusted by the way men were treated as playthings in Daughters Island.

"Brother Li, you take it too much for granted." Zhang Yuan shook his head, and then said with a smile: "People's hearts are complex, and who can grasp the degree in their hearts. As long as there are people, there will be disputes and interests. And when there are interests, there will be dignity and inferiority. Just like abandoning people on other islands, just like civilians abandoning noble families, isn't that what it is?"

At this point, he paused and continued: "People's hearts are unpredictable. Although many people claim to be equals, but ask yourself, who can say they are truly equal? ​​Moreover, some people gave him Equality, but does he really want equality? After all, there is actually a ghost living in everyone's heart!"

Others were surprised when they heard the conversation between Li Si and Zhang Yuan, and thought deeply in their hearts. They felt that what the two said seemed a bit profound for people like them who were not very educated.

After Li Si heard Zhang Yuan's words, he thought for a moment and felt that what Zhang Yuan said was right and reasonable.

"Dang Dang Dang!!!"

"Catch the thief!!! Someone has entered the ancestral hall!!!"

"..."

It was at this time that a gong sounded, accompanied by a scream that sounded like someone's throat was being torn apart.

In the ancestral hall, except for Li Si and Zhang Yuan, everyone else's expressions became frightened.

"It's interesting." There was no fear on Zhang Yuan's face, but a smile on his face.
