An evolutionary game starting from Suolongjing.

Chapter 87
It is very simple to deal with the broken statue.

Just simply fill up the cracks,
Choose a few more used ones in the past, and put them on with red silk robes to block them.

Moreover, you have to pick the one that is blackened by incense and covered with dust.

Otherwise, the bright and beautiful ones attract attention.

However, doing so can only hide the truth from ordinary pilgrims and those who come to pray to God and worship Buddha because of their indebtedness.

But some people will find some clues from the slight abnormality, but it is not important.

In this era when rumors of ghosts and ghosts spread in the countryside, and people died of unknown causes in the city from time to time, no matter how many doubts there were in their hearts, no one would take the liberty to lift the robes of the gods to find out.

As long as the outer robe is not lifted, no one will know what's inside.

But the truth of the matter can only be kept in an extremely low limit, and it is impossible to limit rumors.

Even if the temple is full of blessings,
Their brothers also have to inform the county magistrate in Gucheng,

See if you can get help from him, or the government office above, too many dare not ask extravagantly, but at least the broken statues in the Town God's Temple must be selected from the county annals to fill the vacancy.

The county magistrate knew about it, and few of the officials in the county government could hide it, and then there were the wealthy households in the city. With various interests intertwined, the news would spread wider and wider.

In the end, except for those nerds who keep their ears off the window and only read sage books.

Almost everyone in the city can more or less hear some rumors.

But by then several months, or even more than half a year had passed, no matter how slow the government responded, the statue should have been repaired.

Without the source, everything will naturally be calm and peaceful.

Thinking about it, the senior brother turned around and walked out of the hall, looking up just in time to see the hazy hairy moon in the sky.

The heart that had just calmed down was pulled violently again.

he knows,
I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep soundly tonight.

Zhang Ke stands in the yard,

The left and right hands hold the Cangyu and the woodcarving respectively.

With his head raised, he was facing the mountains in the distance, and his gaze scanned the forest in the distance back and forth. The wind was blowing above his head, and any wind and grass that fell on his eyes would be chopped off without hesitation.

Although the huge figure is gone,
But there was always a shadow in Zhang Ke's heart that refused to dissipate for a long time.

His divine sense can travel unimpeded in the village, but once outside the village, it is as if he is trapped in a quagmire, making it difficult to move a single step.

The farther away the place, the more serious the repulsive atmosphere, and even the interference from the outside world is very serious.

After his divine sense turned over a mountain, Zhang Ke even felt the ground under his feet roaring at him: Get out!

The sound was deafening.

But going out of the body is not hindered, but it is also impossible to release spiritual thoughts. The range of perception is not even as far as the range that can be scanned by the eyes. Zhang Ke did not dare to go further, and Zhang Ke retreated back to the village in time.

The current situation is like being built a wall in the mountains and forests outside the village.

His range of activities was limited to this small mountain village and the limited hundreds of acres of land outside nearby villages.

It's like a prey that has fallen into a trap and can't find a way to get out of the pit, so it can only wait for the hunter to come and give him a fatal knife.

Looking up at the depths of the mountain again,
Zhang Ke's eyes flickered,
Abandoning many complicated and useless thoughts, his heart has gradually become concerned.

Raise your hand and wave,
A wind blade shot out from his hand, splitting the fastened wooden bolt at the back of the main house, and the old wooden door opened a gap with a "squeak", revealing Mrs. Han who was lying behind the door and peeping with her head tilted. .

'Snapped! '

Watching the statue floating in the yard turn around slowly, as if looking at her through the red cloth, Mrs. Han's legs softened and she knelt on the ground directly. The sting made her feel like a cat scratching her heart.

But no matter how unbearable she was, she knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

Without it,

At the gate of the courtyard, the few headless mountain charms that fell on the ground are the best evidence.

Zhang Ke was not surprised that Mrs. Han only stared at the statue and not at himself. His current body can be said to be the manifestation of a true spirit, and he can also be regarded as a divine body.

Although it was a weakened replica fabricated by the game with reference to his real body before entering the game, Yongdinghe, Miasma... and many methods were not brought along with him, leaving Zhang Ke in the replica lacking a lot of coping methods.

But no matter what, the replica is also a divine body, and if he does not take the initiative, it is still not something that mortals can see at will.

If she really stared at Zhang Ke when they met, he would be happy instead.

Zhang Ke never minded carefully interrogating and examining the old lady.

Now, the method should be gentler. Place the statue one meter away from Mrs. Han, and a wind blade cut the hemp rope and red cloth wrapped on it, exposing the statue.

Zhang Ke didn't speak either.

Let this Han Pozi look at the statue and feel for herself.

And separated by a door,
The sight in front of Pozi Han who was kneeling on the ground was blocked by the door frame, but she still felt that the gaze outside the house was becoming more solemn and cold as time went by.

In his nose, he could still vaguely smell the faint stench from the corpse of the mountain charm outside, as well as a faint smell of blood.

'Gudong! '

Mrs. Han swallowed hard, knelt on the ground and bowed again and again:
"Daxian, don't blame me, I am also entrusted by others, and it is a matter of loyalty.
In this way, if you really fall in love with that family, you can give me some hints, and I will make arrangements immediately, and let his family treat you respectfully and invite you back step by step, how about it? "As she spoke, Mrs. Han quietly raised her head and took a look.

He didn't see the prompt he wanted, but he met the blurred face of the statue instead of saying it.

In a daze, she saw a face, a face with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were looking at her - oops!

Could it be that this person has his eyes on me?

Han Pozi wants to cry but has no tears.

If I knew she wouldn't talk too much, I brought this one back, but now it's hard to give up.

I fell into this line by accident when I was young.

Until now, more than 20 years have passed, and there is no man who doesn't say anything, let alone a son and a half woman serving in front of me.At the beginning, she heard that doing this business would hurt her family, so she ran to the next village to live, trembling for so many years.

At one time, I thought that this would be the end of my life, lonely and widowed, and when I died, I would let my family's nephews and nephews bury me for me.

But who would have thought that it could be even more unlucky!
Although she is very unwilling to invite family immortals, she does not want to be manipulated by others while alive, and she will not be at peace when she dies, and her soul will be dragged into a cow and a horse.

But she is very clear about how to choose between dying and living now.

She was ruthless and kowtowed a few more times:

"Then please wait a little longer, old man,

I'm going to ask people to slaughter chickens and pigs, and I have to build a shrine. In this way, the small room has to be cleaned up. I'm afraid I can't make it in time today. Why don't you choose an auspicious day soon? "

"."

Zhang Ke originally wanted to borrow her for use.

After all, the "Encyclopedia of Spells" that I found in the house before recorded the Fushi and the spell of inviting the gods. These two can be cast without mana, and he just said his needs at that time.

It's like being in love.

Being chased by a girl is completely different from actively chasing a girl.

In the former, everything will come to fruition if you open your mouth, while in the latter, you will be picked around as a licking dog. If you don’t get it, let alone a video, your heart will be broken.

Unexpectedly, the more this person thinks about it, the more crooked he is, asking him to come into the house and be her guardian angel?

Crazy!

"land!"

Looking at Mrs. Han with a difficult face, Zhang Ke said helplessly.

Listening to the voice that was about to deafen her ears, Mrs. Han was terrified.

The whole body can't lift the strength.

"This, this is not what I said!"

She wanted to offer herself, but she didn't like this one, but instead set her sights on the whole village.

Zhang Ke snorted coldly, saying that he was not in a hurry, and asked her to visit the nearby villages and towns, and it would not be too late to give him the answer when she came back.

Although Mrs. Han didn't know why this person said that, she didn't dare to ask.

After the statue moved away from the door and fell back into the yard again, she got up quickly, ignoring the dust all over her body and hurried away.

Time goes by minute by minute,
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Han, including a large group of villagers, gathered outside the yard. The group of people still had expressions of shock on their faces. They were relieved when they saw the statue still in the yard, and then hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. .

"Great Immortal, you are truly a living Bodhisattva who saves lives!"

"That's right, sister, didn't Daxian say that he wants to be the land grandfather of our village? Hurry up, take out the previous sedan chair, and let's carry it together."

"."

A group of people were chattering, and their voices were extremely noisy, but some gossip still reached his ears along with his divine sense.

Zhang Ke didn't expect that after one night, people died in several surrounding villages and even in the neighboring towns, adding up to twenty or thirty people.

Speaking of which, he only vaguely felt the bloody smell in the nearby village through his divine sense.

But due to the distance, Zhang Ke's tentacles couldn't reach it, and he really needed to frighten the villagers, so he arranged for Mrs. Han to take them to find out the news.

I thought that three or five deaths would be a big deal, but I didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

Moreover, in such a situation, the people in the dungeon did not gather near the big city, but were still scattered in the countryside. Could it be that such a situation is rare?

But he saw that there were a lot of gadgets in the room next to him, so how should this be explained.

With doubts, Zhang Ke was carried by a group of villagers to the Earth Temple.

It is said to be an earth temple, but it is actually an abandoned earthen house.

It has been in disrepair for a long time, the roof made of mud is covered with weeds, and the surrounding walls are also eroded by wind and rain. Some patterns were originally painted on the outside of the house, but it has become mottled and difficult to recognize after too long.

There were some things entrenched in it before, but they ran away after being overwhelmed by the popularity accumulated by many villagers.

Inside the house, cobwebs were densely covered, and the dust was thick. The offerings that had been placed on the table were covered by the dust, and the incense burner was even dusty, and the shape could barely be seen.

When the sculpture was brought over, the people inside were still cleaning it. Before entering the door, he happened to see a few villagers carrying a headless, dusty clay sculpture out.

it's dark.

Zhang Kecai was sent to the earth temple.

The villagers did not leave, but began to sacrifice in the dark of night. The burning smoke of incense candles and yellow paper curled up in the dark of night.

During the day, the horrors that happened in other villages and even the town were like a reminder to them, urging them on.

No one knows whether those mountain spirits will come tonight, and no one can guarantee that the person in the statue will still protect the peace of their village tonight. No one wants to be the one whose head is eaten by the mountain spirits.

Naturally, many rules were left behind.

Fortunately, what they placed was not consecration statues invited from temples. Most of them were tainted by incense and had a hint of divinity. If they want to be placed in the temple and be effective, there are many rules that need to be followed, and it is very wrong to make a mistake. Trouble, let alone being taken late at night by the villagers to toss.

Leaving aside whether it works or not, it is more likely that it will attract prying eyes and be occupied by doves and magpies.

Zhang Ke sits in the woodcarving.

What's more, a [seventh-rank] great god condescends to be a land god who is not even a ninth-rank. Don't talk about robbing Zhang Ke, if he dares to look at Zhang Ke more, he will have to give him two mouths, so that they will have a long memory.

As one by one the villagers came forward to offer offerings, they chanted the blessings of the Lord of the Land.

There is also a force in the sculpture that is slowly accumulating, until the last villager stepped forward, offered incense and knelt down, and that force broke out of the sculpture.

Along with it, there is a cloud of mottled smoke emitting from the heads of every villager.

But for a moment,

The smoke fell in front of the statue, intertwined with that power and transformed into a thin book, and at the same time, the names of the villagers; birthdays; what was said in the village this year, one by one in his mind emerge.

At the same time, an announcement of the game appeared in front of him:

[You have received collective worship from the villagers of Xiashan Village, you have obtained the qualification of the land god]

[It is detected that the land before Xiashan Village has died and is inheriting the throne]

[Consolidating the land registers. Changing the affiliation of the divine right]

[You take office in the land of the mountain village (from the ninth rank)]

[Divine power: You have obtained the ownership of 3600 acres of land under the jurisdiction of Xiashan Village, and you have obtained a little power of the nether world. The skill list is being updated.]

【Earth qi flourishes (disabled); entrusts dreams; increases blessings and longevity; is plagued by bad luck; the crops are plentiful (disabled); recruits soldiers and horses (7).】

The fonts are constantly rolling in Zhang Ke's eyes, and at the same time, his mind is also carrying the knowledge that is constantly instilled.

In perception, this mountain village, including the cultivated land of nearby villagers, has become an extension of Zhang Ke's body, and he can vaguely feel that a space is being opened up in this earth temple.

Not only the reminders, but Zhang Ke also got the earth staff and the method of making the artifact bricks.

The former allows Zhang Ke to go wherever he wants on the 3600 acres of land by knocking on his crutches. Occasionally, he can use it as a weapon to beat some unsightly mountain spirits and wild monsters.

The latter is a must-have weapon for sneak attacks when you go out at home!
Of course, none of this matters.
　Thanks to the little Ari who screamed for the reward, thanks to Chiyun の Meteor for the reward, and thanks to the two
