Li Wei and others also couldn't think of any good solution, so they could only nod and agree.

Because they had conducted preliminary reconnaissance and exploration of the interior of the embroidery building on the first day they moved into the courtyard and were relatively familiar with the environment, they directly began to look for the secret room that Jiang Lai had mentioned before, which might exist inside the embroidery building.

The woman's mournful crying voice, which sounded like sobbing, complaining, and longing, was still lingering in the embroidery building.

With the help of Xiao Ai, Jiang Lai carefully observed the layout of the embroidery building and measured every inch of the wall. It took less than half an hour to finally determine the approximate location of the secret room. The next step was to look for mechanisms in the surrounding area to prepare for opening the secret room.

After a careful search, everyone still had no clue.

Even Xiao Ai couldn't find the location of the mechanism for a while.

At this moment, the floating crying sound suddenly swept across, brushed past everyone, and then converged at one point, as if it had entered another space and disappeared silently.

Jiang Lai immediately noticed that the last place the crying sound passed was... exactly the dressing mirror in the embroidery building where the owner of the building, the lady from the richest family in the village, used to look at herself in to groom herself every day!

She immediately walked over and started searching carefully in the dressing mirror.

If nothing unexpected happens, the mechanism that can open the secret room must be here.

The white and slender fingers slid across the wooden carvings on the outer layer of the dressing mirror inch by inch, but still found nothing.

Jiang Lai was not in a hurry and tried it carefully bit by bit.

She frowned, and on a whim, she pressed her hand on the round carved wooden frame outside the dressing mirror.

"boom!"

She saw that the dressing mirror was pushed down by her hand and sank more than an inch on the dressing table.

When Jiang Lai finally discovered the mechanism, a creaking sound suddenly came from inside the embroidery building.

The mechanism turned and the secret door opened.

Next to the exquisitely carved mahogany embroidered couch that was said to be used by the daughter of the richest man in the village, there appeared a small space of less than two square meters.

In the small space behind the secret door, there was nothing else except an altar, a statue of a deity covered with a red cloth, and corresponding offerings.

Hu Zhiguo, who was closest to that place, walked into the space, pulled off the red cloth covering the statue, frowned, turned around and said to the others: "Sure enough, the weird statue enshrined here is also that half-man, half-bull."

"No, that's not right!" Jiang Lai said, "This is not an ordinary statue! She... is actually a flesh and blood body!"

It was with Xiao Ai's help that she knew the true appearance of this thing.

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked after hearing this!

Before Jiang Lai had the chance to explain to everyone, he felt the space twisting, and the eight players were all pulled into another space in an orderly manner.

In this space, players are brought back to the past, back to Pingguling Village about a hundred years ago.

In a world that has passed away, they cannot interfere in anything and can only witness everything that has happened here from a God's perspective.

All the villagers in Pingguling Village have the surname Niu.

An elegant and wealthy businessman named Lu, with his generous and decent wife, his daughter who had returned from studying abroad, and his six or seven-year-old son, crossed mountains and rivers to reach Pingguling Village, intending to escape the war.

Their arrival brought new changes to the entire Pingguling Village.

The wealthy businessman contributed money and effort to help the local people repair the muddy roads that people in the village had walked on for hundreds of years. He also built a school and let his daughter teach the children in the village to read and write.

The school is built next to the village ancestral hall, with the implication that while the children study hard, they should not forget their roots, their ancestors and their hometown.

The rich lady's name is Lu Pingting.

As her name suggests, she is gentle, elegant and graceful.

Lu Pinting began to teach in the village school, and encouraged the children of nearby villagers to come to the village school to study.

When this scene appeared, Jiang Lai and his friends quickly saw the figures of Xingwang, Tiedan, Jinfeng and others among the children in the village.

There was even a familiar-looking figure. After careful identification, it was not difficult to see that she was Niu Lingling, whom they had rescued from the bus before!

However, the Niu Lingling who appeared in the memory scene was much younger than they had seen before. She was a little girl about ten years old.

The Niu Lingling they saw looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Xingwang, Baozhu and others, on the other hand, have maintained their current appearance.

Although they were wearing different clothes, their appearance and age looked exactly the same as when they arrived in Pingguling Village.

Seeing the familiar faces, Lu Zhou and the others couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

They never expected that the innocent children they originally thought of, such as Xingwang and others, were actually all old monsters who had lived for more than a hundred years by some unknown means!

What makes people feel even more scalp-numbing is that, when they think about it carefully, those old monsters have all maintained the appearance of children for more than a hundred years!

Among this group of monsters, Niu Lingling, who suddenly grew up ten years old and became an adult, seemed even more unique and was a monster with the attribute of growth.

Unlike Xingwang and others, other adults in the village, including Xingwang’s father, the village chief, and the current village chief, are different people.

Although the village chief that Jiang Lai and the others had met was similar to the village chief in Lu Pingting's story, both wearing worn-out coarse cloth clothes that were washed white and had pale faces and thin bodies, it was very obvious from their appearance and height that they were two completely different people.

After Xingwang and his group of old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years and were still in child state, the players discovered a new place that made them feel terrified.

The children in the village still remain the same as before, only the adults have changed...

Jiang Lai couldn't help but frowned, thinking to himself, could it be that the biggest secret of this copy is that the children are permanent, but the adults are transient?

The players were looking at the monsters with lingering fear, but they saw that Lu Pinting's story soon took a turn.

After the roads and schools were built in the village, a group of villagers, led by the village chief, came to the small courtyard of the wealthy merchant surnamed Lu, carrying sticks, farm tools and other items.
