I use deceit to create immortality

Chapter 64 Changes in the Village

Jiang Ning's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

The meat that appeared in the cave seemed to shatter all his previous thoughts.

Granny Nan has been refreshed and disappeared...

Then, since the traces of her existence have disappeared from this village, why are these meats still being refreshed here as usual?
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in Jiang Ning's thoughts. He suddenly recalled that when he hid in the cave for the first time, at the intersection of night and day, several afterimages of corpses flashed before his eyes like hallucinations.

At that time...the little mother was still outside the cave, stopping for a while.

The first [Dream] was also unlocked in the cave.

In that dream, the eyes deep in the fog had been unlocked.

It turned out to be a treacherous monk from outside the village...

However, the flesh and blood tissue dancing around the village has not yet received an answer.

Could it be...

Does this crypt have other meanings for its existence?
Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, and then slowly covered the iron plate connecting the entrance to the cave.

He did not choose to swallow the meat to increase the progress of [Human Food].

After all, the taste of these meats is really hard to describe. After vaguely guessing the truth, Jiang Ning still retains the thinking of a normal person and finds it difficult to accept it.

And after he learned about the existence of thousand-year-old ginseng, he had already found a better path.

He closed the iron plate and fiddled with the lock. Although it was not completely locked, it still remained in place to prevent any changes.

Then, he walked towards the shrine.

…………

Arrive at the shrine again.

The scene here is very different from when we first met.

In front of the temple, a staircase has been repaired.

The statue of a god with a fish head and human body was hung with gold and silver orbs. Even the fish head with a ferocious look and green face and fangs looked a little more noble when illuminated by the jewels.

Surrounding the marble steps, there are many villagers holding silver and fanatical expressions, shouting slogans of "respect the gods" and "wealth and longevity", holding cloth bags wrapped with silver, with a pious and humble attitude, Offer tributes.

When Jiang Ning came to the shrine, he found that a cordon had been drawn around it.

Servants in luxurious robes stood guard at the border, seemingly deliberately selecting those who entered.

"That group of people...are they servants of the Lin family?"

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized the identities of this group of people from the luxurious robes they wore.

The last time he went to buy meat, he saw a well-dressed and handsome young man wearing similar style clothes. Not surprisingly, he was also from the Lin family.

But what was unexpected was that... the servants of the Lin Mansion actually appeared together near the shrine, and they put on such a big show. What did they want to do?
The shrine is built on the mountain, and an earth wall is built nearby, leaving only the main entrance, which is about two meters wide.

The Lin family's cordon was cordoned around, and through the two servants standing at the door, one could barely see villagers lining up under the marble platform to exchange their tributes for bright red. Bloody red plum fruit.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly. With such a field of vision, it was difficult to see the situation of the shrine clearly.

He didn't dare to rush in...

After all, he has to go to Lin Mansion next to steal the ghost flag.

For the time being, I don't want to have a direct conflict with the Lin Mansion, nor do I want to attract the other party's attention.

He looked around and suddenly found a three-story earthen house nearby. If he jumped on the eaves and occupied the high ground, he should be able to see clearly what was in the shrine with the help of Yin Pu's vision.

Running the Wheel Sea Kung Fu, Yang Yuan gathered on the toes, and with a slight jump, Jiang Ning landed on the eaves of the earthen house like a falling goose. With the help of a half-meter-high chimney, he used it as a cover and leaned sideways. Damn, put your head in to check.

Yin energy gathered in the eyes, and the pupils suddenly became dark, with a faint golden light rippling inside. The vision looked down from a high place, passing through the relatively low earth wall, and penetrated into the shrine 500 meters away. "It's him?"

When Jiang Ning's eyes fell on the figure standing on the marble steps, his pupils suddenly shrank.

He recognized each other!

That's right!

It was the old man who guarded the village!

This guy was holding a red plum fruit in his hand, and he was showing off like a magician.

Suddenly, the old man guarding the village seemed to notice something and raised his head suddenly.

His sharp eyes like an eagle fell on the chimney a few hundred meters away.

Almost at that moment, Jiang Ning hid his figure and ran away.

"This guy's reaction intuition is really sharp..."

Jiang Ning frowned. He was not sure whether the old man Shou Cun saw him clearly, but he was certain that he must have noticed that there was someone here.

Fortunately... he now has to entertain a large number of new believers who have joined the "Plum God Sect", and most likely will not have time to deal with him, so he will not encounter any danger.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard in the distance.

Jiang Ning's ears moved and when he heard the familiar sound of footsteps, he knew it was the group of officers and soldiers coming.

Jumping off the eaves, Jiang Ning found a corner and looked sideways in the direction where the officers and soldiers were coming.

They came to the vicinity of the shrine and spoke a few words to the Lin family's servants, seeming to be communicating.

The servant approached the officers and soldiers, took out a few taels of bundles from his waist, and put them quietly into the leader's pocket.

The leader patted the servant's shoulder meaningfully, then waved his arm, greeted his men, and left with the billowing smoke.

"Sure enough... even in this strange world, bribes are everywhere... Is this what is commonly known as money making the world go round?"

Jiang Ning looked at this mundane scene, which actually appeared in a ridiculous and weird world. Moreover, it was a village full of dead people, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

At present, it seems that the Lin Mansion may have something going on with the old man guarding the village...

He left this place, came to the entrance of the village, and took a look.

as predicted.

The old man Morimun has disappeared.

There was no one at the archway, and it seemed that all one had to do was take a step to get out.

Of course, Jiang Ning did not go out. Having tried to leave the village, he already knew that tolls were not the only barrier. The fog that spread throughout the wilderness was the real prison.

It's just... The duty of the old man guarding the village should be to guard the entrance of the village. Why did he turn into a magic stick and sell red plum fruits instead?

Whether it is Li Jingnian, Granny Nan, or other villagers, they all seem to follow their own identities and do what they should do at a specific time, repeating the cycle day after day.

However, the old man guarding the village seemed to have broken the cycle and reincarnation.

Jiang Ning felt more and more... that this village was about to reach a point of change, and it was necessary to leave as soon as possible.

After walking for a day, I didn’t see the little figure...

I wonder where the little girl went when she didn't go out to play on weekdays?

Suddenly, Jiang Ning's mind moved, and his eyes fell on the vermilion tower deep in the palace.

"Maybe... it's time to explore the imperial city."
