Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

"Even if this instance wants us to go back more than 300 years to witness something or complete a test, it can't just turn this place into an uninhabited area, right?" Lu Zhou asked. "Could it be that the instance does this just to let us visit the architectural layout of the ancient village?"

"Of course it can't be like this." Jiang Lai denied:

"The situation we are facing now is more like a puzzle that we need to find a way to solve by ourselves. As long as we solve this puzzle, we should be able to return to the Pingguling Village we entered before. The reason why the copy sent us here must be because there must be some clues hidden here that can affect the overall situation."

In everyone's personal panel, the side quests turned grey and could not be completed because they had entered another time and space.

Once you return to the original place, the problem of being unable to complete the task will naturally be solved.

"Since we need to solve this puzzle, we must have a breakthrough point. What we have to do now is to hurry up and find this point. Otherwise, I am afraid that new changes will occur, which will be detrimental to our ultimate mission." Hu Zhiguo said.

"Yes. If we are trapped here and miss the Fengniu Festival, wouldn't it cut off the possibility for us to leave this copy?" Li Wei also agreed.

"Since everyone thinks this way, why don't we act in groups?" Jiang Lai said.

The eight people were still divided into two groups according to the previous allocation, and explored the village in the east and west directions respectively, and agreed on the signal after discovering any abnormalities.

Jiang Lai, Lu Zhou, Zhen Zhen and Yao Dong headed eastwards.

"Why don't we go to the ancestral hall in the village first to see what's going on. Maybe we can find something." Jiang Lai thought for a moment and suggested.

After all, the ancestral hall is a very special place in the village, and it might be able to reveal to them the secret of how Pingguling Village became what it is today.

The four of them headed towards the ancestral hall together.

Jiang Lai couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

The ancestral hall is right next to the school.

Because none of the students showed up in the morning, her first reaction was to pull those monsters out of their beds and assign them more homework to prevent them from interfering with the progress of her and others' tasks.

But they ignored the ancestral hall which was nearby.

Because she didn't take this into consideration, she now has to waste extra energy and time to check the situation at the ancestral hall.

Oh, I hope I can gain something.

Jiang Lai paid attention to the surrounding environment along the way, asking Xiao Ai for information at any time to determine the era background of the surrounding buildings. After about a quarter of an hour, he stood in front of the door of the ancestral hall in the village with the other three people.

From the outside, the changes in the ancestral hall are not that big, it just looks newer.

According to Xiao Ai's judgment, the ancestral hall they were facing at the moment had only been built for a few decades at most.

There are no stone lions on both sides of the entrance to the ancestral hall. Instead, there are two large flower pots like water tanks, in which are blooming bright red flowers. The petals are so gorgeous and red like blood.

There is also a green bamboo forest behind the ancestral hall.

Standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, you can see the bamboos planted behind it.

As soon as the four players entered the ancestral hall, they discovered something extraordinary.

The statues enshrined in the ancestral hall... have changed!

The statue they had seen in the ancestral hall of Pingguling Village was an image of a half-human, half-bull monster.

At this moment, the statue has turned into a woman riding on the back of a cow!

The woman was riding on the cow's back, holding a swaddled baby in her arms.

She looked down at the child in her arms, her eyes full of loving care.

It is obvious that this statue is the one that the villagers of Pingguling Village were originally supposed to worship!

That is the great mother in the story that Xingwang and others told before, who turned into a water buffalo and saved her child from the mouth of a tiger.

I just don’t know what happened in the village later that caused the villagers to abandon their original beliefs and instead worship the half-human, half-bull evil god sculpture.

Jiang Lai and the others were looking at the sculpture, but unexpectedly, a large amount of white mist was emanating from the body of the mother in the sculpture!

Then, a clear cow cry was heard.

The eyes of the cow on which the woman in the statue was sitting turned into a strange blood red, and quickly transformed into black shadows, attacking Jiang Lai and the others!

Before Jiang Lai could open his mouth to give any orders, little Jixiang perked up and ran out of Jiang Lai's servant space, chasing after the black shadows. Once he caught a shadow, he would knead it into a ball and then stuff it into his mouth, chewing it with a smacking sound.

Seeing how Jixiang was actively and proactively eating by himself, Jiang Lai couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing the smile of an old mother.

Unexpectedly, when the auspicious little cutie appeared, the statue also changed.

The entire ancestral hall was suddenly filled with cold winds, which blew the yellow cloth curtains hanging inside the hall high up.

"Baby...my baby..."

A voice came from the statue.

Then, everyone felt a cold wind blowing past, making them feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar, and they couldn't help but shiver all over.

The cold and chilly wind seemed to carry resentment and unwillingness.

When the cold wind appeared, a floating and hazy white shadow actually walked out of the statue of the woman.

The white shadow walked towards Jixiang and stretched out two cold arms made of white mist, as if wanting to hold Jixiang in his arms.

"Auntie, who are you? If the child is lost, go find the police. Don't identify someone else's child, okay?" Jixiang said.

Lu Zhou grumbled quietly, "Captain, your kid is really good at ruining the atmosphere. After he said that, the scary atmosphere at the scene faded."

The white shadow transformed from the statue paused after hearing Jixiang's words, but did not stop completely. It seemed that with a strong obsession, it stretched out its arms towards Jixiang again.

"Hey, Auntie, my mom told me that children should take care to protect themselves and not let strangers touch them. If you do this again, I won't be polite!"

The phantom remained unmoved and continued to move closer to Jixiang.

Little Jixiang frowned and said, "Mom said, first use courtesy, then use force. I have to protect myself!"
