Nine thousand years old

Chapter 86

The strong wind seemed to overturn the wooden house, and the raindrops hit the roof with an astonishingly loud sound. Li Siyuan stared blankly at the candlelight, but calmed down, sorting out his thoughts carefully.

The person who took Wutong away obviously deliberately let Li Siyuan enter the artifact. Last time in Wutong Village, this person used Li Siyuan's hand to release the spirit array.

Therefore, there must be something in this painting that the man wanted but could not do.

That person didn't hurt his life all the time, it was obvious that he wanted to use him for something.

But what is the identity of that person, and what is the purpose of doing these things?

Li Siyuan still felt very confused, as if all the clues were clear, but there was only a key to open it.

What kind of existence is the village in this painting?

Is it really just a paradise created by the ancestor gods, or... is there something hidden in it that will be coveted.

But what is something that only you can do, but others can't?Li Siyuan lowered his eyes, he was a little worried that the man-made was divine power.

Unknowingly, the sound of the rain subsided, and a trace of fragrance floated to the wings of his nostrils. He sniffed, and his stomach naturally groaned.

Brother Yuan, who had been wrapped into glutinous rice balls, came back to his senses, turned over and put on his shoes and went to the small kitchen behind.

The wooden house looks dilapidated, but it has all the necessary things. Mingli took some firewood and lit the stove, and made a pot of shredded chicken noodles with the things Liu Cuiling sent.

Finally, he didn't need to be hungry, Li Siyuan smiled and asked Wuchang and Li Jian to eat, and when the four of them ate noodles, the sky outside was completely clear.

The vermilion sunset shone on the river, and the orange light carried warmth. Li Siyuan sniffed the cleansed air and sat on the stone chair at the door to watch the sunset.

Ming Li went into the room and took a cushion, patted his shoulder to signal him to put it on the chair, Li Siyuan obediently put it on, and when he turned his head, he saw Erhu boasting a big basket and rubbing against the yard with great effort.

Li Siyuan hurriedly got up and took the heavy basket, squatted down and smiled, "Is this for us?"

Erhu liked this gentle-looking big brother very much, and stared at him without hesitation.

"My mother asked me to send it, and my father also asked me to tell you, don't go out after Xu o'clock at night."

Li Siyuan glanced at Mingli, Mingli walked slowly, and said to Erhu, "Why can't you go out?"

Erhu was a little shy of this cold man, and lowered his voice: "This is the rule in our village, everyone is like this... I don't know why."

Ming Li stared at him fixedly, Erhu was frightened by the look, and unconsciously took a few steps back.

Li Siyuan was afraid that Mingli would scare the child, so he got up and patted Erhu on the head: "I know, I won't go out at night, remember to thank your mother for me, and thank you for helping us deliver things."

Erhu thought this man was really good-looking, his face turned red when his head was touched, he hid his little dirty hands in embarrassment, whispered that it was okay, and ran away in a hurry.

Li Jian was sleepy after eating, and when he walked to the entrance of the yard, he saw the figure of the child running away, and he took a fruit from the basket, wiped it and gnawed it.

"What did you do, why did that child run away?" Li Jian bit the unknown fruit, a sweetness spread in his mouth, and prepared another one for Wuchang.

Li Siyuan said innocently: "Brother Ming was scared, it's none of my business."

Having said that, Wuchang also came back from the door. After eating, Wuchang went to the village to check. Now seeing them gathered in the courtyard, he took out a piece of toilet paper from his pocket.

Li Jian hurriedly took it, and saw that it was a schematic diagram of the entire village, and the ink on it was brand new, so he immediately looked at Wuchang in surprise: "Did you draw it?"

Wuchang nodded, and looked at Mingli Baobao: "This village is not too small, at least there are two or three hundred households. There are twelve piers in total from the port in the south to the cliff in the north."

Li Siyuan and Li Jian looked at Wuchang in amazement. After losing their spiritual power, they could figure out the general situation here within four to 10 minutes, and their business ability was really strong.

Ming Li took the scrap of paper, looked at it for a while, and pointed out a fork in the road with a question mark.

"What is this place?"

Wuchang glanced and said, "There are guards there, it seems to be the ancestral hall of the village."

Ancestral hall?Li Siyuan kept his doubts in his heart, and said to Wuchang and Li Jian: "The two tigers came to deliver a message just now, and the village chief told us not to go out after Xushi, saying it was a rule."

Li Jian clasped his hands and counted: "Xu Shi, I'll do the math, Zichou Yinmao... Xu, Xu Shi... After seven o'clock, go to bed so early?"

After speaking, he thought of the fruit again, rubbed it on himself twice and handed it to Wuchang, looked at him with a smile and said, "It's quite delicious."

Wuchang stared at it for a long time, feeling a little disgusted: "I didn't wash it."

Li Jian stuffed it into his mouth: "You won't get sick if you don't do anything clean, do you understand?"

Impermanence can only take a bite.

"So we can wait and see why we can't go out at night."

Li Siyuan looked at the basket while talking, and found that the things inside were quite rich, all kinds of meat and fish were complete, vegetables were not missing, and there was a layer of fruit on top.

Ming Li took the heavy basket and took it to the kitchen.

There is no TV or game console in this place, so the few people can only play with their mobile phones. Fortunately, they found that the time of the mobile phone stopped at the moment they entered, even the battery.

Li Jian felt strange: "Isn't this stagnant time, that is to say, as long as you enter this place, the things from the outside world will always maintain the same appearance as when you came... Fuck, rounding up to five means immortality!"

Ming Li hugged Li Siyuan and played Xiao Xiao Le together, ignoring him at all.

Wuchang raised his head to look at him, but he didn't interrupt Li Jian's fantasy, but he knew well that if he lived forever, he must be able to live.

There is definitely something wrong with this place.

As night fell quietly, the more Li Siyuan played, the more interested he became, and the two worked together to clear seven or eight levels.

Li Jian only had Sokoban in his mobile phone, which was a stand-alone game, but he didn't want to play it, he had already snatched Wuchang's mobile phone to play stand-alone shootout.

Impermanence didn't care, he sat by the window with his back straight, just quietly observing the movement outside.

Sure enough, as soon as seven o'clock arrived, the sound outside seemed to be still, eerily silent.

Infrequently, they were still addicted to the game, so they went out for a walk first, only their houses in the village were still lit.

Wuchang tried to sense the breath of this place, but it seemed that not only his spiritual power was blocked, but his inspiration was also bounced back. At this moment, he was no different from an ordinary mortal except for his physical strength.

Obviously it is not wise to act alone at this time, Wuchang took a quick look around, and then went back to the wooden house. He wanted to explain the situation in the village, but none of the three paid attention to him.

Impermanence: heart tired.

Seeing his depressed look, Li Jian pulled him to his side and handed him the phone: "Don't be so nervous, you see Brother Ming is still playing Xiaoxiao, which means that he must be fine right now."

In fact, impermanence also understands, but the matter of supernatural power is related to Li Jian's life, and he doesn't want to miss the good opportunity because of some unnecessary negligence.

As for why he cared so much, Wuchang couldn't think of it.

He sighed, took the phone over, looked down silently, and suddenly said, "Li Jian."

Li Jian leaned over: "What's wrong?"

Wuchang looked at him: "The equipment I just exploded yesterday."

Li Jian's expression froze, and he moved back: "I was just now... my hand slipped..."

Impermanence: "So?"

Li Jian closed his eyes: "It's broken down."

impermanence: ...

Li Siyuan raised his head and gave Wuchang a sympathetic look, silently mourned for three seconds, then lowered his head to dismiss Xiaole.

A few people were playing games, and the time passed fairly quickly, until after ten o'clock, some small sounds suddenly came from outside.

This sound was like the sound of water. On weekdays, this sound would not be noticed at all, but at this time the whole village seemed to be dead silent, and the sound of water was naturally amplified.

Li Siyuan patted Mingli's hand, and the two stood up and walked out together, Li Jianzheng was dozing off, but was instantly sobered up after being knocked on the head by Wuchang.

It was as if the sound of the river slapping on the shore kept ringing, and the fishing boats parked at the pier had a fishy smell. Li Siyuan looked at the dried fish hanging on the bow, and his heart trembled suddenly.

They looked at the river bank where the sound of water kept flowing, and after a while, something climbed up from the water.

The night was terrible, only the moonlight shone on the village, those things seemed to have scales attached to their bodies, reflecting the moonlight slightly, and blowing a fishy smell with the wind.

It wasn't until Li Siyuan saw their whole picture with some difficulty that he confirmed that those shining lights were scales.

And their appearance gradually became clear. These things have limbs and hair, but the skin of the whole body is bluish, covered with scales, and the most conspicuous thing is that they have fish-like fins on their bodies.

Their eyes are slightly bright, like night pearls, and the light spots are dim, like the eyes of fish when they turn, but the big mouth that is occasionally opened is full of jagged teeth.

It looks like a fish and looks like a human being. The four people peek at each other, and no one knows what they are.

They hid behind the fishing boat in the distance, and saw those things crawling out of the river water, and soon occupied the entire bank, wandering like ghosts.

Li Siyuan lowered his voice, and said in a small voice: "What are they going to do?"

Ming Li stared at the murlocs intently: "I don't know, just wait."

The river breeze was slightly cool, and the moonlight shrouded the land like a thin layer of mist. The four of them could only watch the murlocs quietly, but after waiting for nearly an hour, the murlocs hadn't moved yet.

Li Jian moved his stiff arm, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Often, don't touch me."

Wuchang was stunned for a moment, just about to turn around and say that I didn't touch you, when he turned around, he met a huge fish head.

The fish rolled its eyes, and suddenly opened its mouth wide, exposing its shark-like teeth to the air, gushing out a stench.

Wuchang punched the fish on the head, and the cold iron chain was thrown out, instantly pulling the murloc into the water.

Ming Li and Li Siyuan were startled, they didn't expect this thing to touch behind them without anyone noticing.

There was a lot of movement on their side, and the murloc yelled strangely again, and soon the group of murlocs on the river bank rushed towards them.

The visual effect of the densely packed murlocs running was comparable to zombies in apocalyptic movies. Li Siyuan shuddered, Mingli protected him, and the halberd immediately appeared in his hand, revealing a golden light.

At the same time, there was a thunderstorm on the river, and on the cold moonlit night, even the wind seemed to carry a murderous intent.
