Chapter 223: Ghosts of the Past
Under the temptation of the bun and the threat of the big fist of the bun, the centipede monster immediately agreed to Gu Yun's request.
Facts have proved that coercion and inducement are always excellent means of negotiation. Although the speed is not as fast as the ice dragon, the centipede monster seems to be very familiar with this valley. After crawling in the forest for nearly a quarter of an hour, he placed him in front of a village.
The village before dawn could vaguely see the rising smoke from cooking stoves. After getting off the car, Gu Yun touched the monster's head affectionately, while the centipede ran away faster.
Looking at the centipede's back, Gu Yun felt a little sad. After all, it would cost at least 12 yuan to go to City X for a fifteen-minute drive. The meat bun was picked up at random in the research facility. It was probably more than one yuan to put it in the supermarket. In ancient times, he had a Bawang meal, so today he took a Bawang car in disguise.
However, he never lets the other party suffer a loss when treating friendly monsters. He wrote down this matter. When the centipede monster comes to City X next time, he can invite the other party to have a barbecue to fulfill his friendship with the landlord.
After making the decision, he focused on the village not far away.
This village is located in the deep mountains and forests, and is quite hidden. When I came this time, the village had not been destroyed yet. The people in the village lived the life of ordinary villagers. As soon as he approached the gate, he saw the totem standing in the middle of the village. The patterns on it were somewhat similar to those in the research facilities. It should be a series of things that the gods were looking for.
After reading the magic scripture, Gu Yun realized that these patterns were somewhat similar to the text written on it.
However, the residents of the village were not hospitable. They stared at Gu Yun vigilantly, and some people had already picked up the guys without hesitation.
"Who are you?"
After walking two steps, several strong villagers came up, and they didn't seem to want him to go deeper.
The strong man looked at the farm tools in his hand, and the hoes and axes were sharp, but he couldn't even see a decent weapon, which was enough to prove that the people in the village didn't fight very much.
"Don't be nervous, I'll just take a look."
Gu Yun kindly stated that he came. According to the memory fragments he saw from the treasure house, the other end of the "gate" is connected to this village. If measured from the perspective of the game, it should be equivalent to the initial village. Players should be able to learn basic combat skills and various secondary professions here.
"Go out, you are not welcome here."
The residents in the village seemed not to be hospitable. Gu Yun was blocked by more and more people, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Gu Yun thought he was quite good at socializing. When he was traveling to the mainland, when he passed by remote villages, simple villagers usually warmly treated him.
"Let him come in."
After a stalemate between the two sides, an old man's voice came from behind the crowd.
The villagers looked back at the old man in disbelief and seemed unable to understand his decision.
"But the village chief..."
The strong leader wanted to say something, but the old man stopped him with his eyes. He pinched his fist with some reluctance, put down the sharp axe in his hand, turned his head and went home.
Seeing that the strong man had returned, the other villagers also scattered.
"Please don't care. It's been too long since outsiders have visited our village. It's normal for them to be nervous."
The old man said as he walked, leading Gu Yun to his home.
The village chief's house is very simple, with only some handmade rough furniture. The sleeping place is only separated by curtains. The living conditions of the village are much worse than those of their village. Gu Yun secretly suspected that this might be caused by the lack of top carpenters in their village.
"You seem to have a lot to ask."
The village chief said kindly.
"Not, I'll just take a look."
The question and answer immediately made the atmosphere in the house become silent. The village chief's movement of holding the kettle became stiff, and then he pretended to be calm and sat back on the position opposite Gu Yun.
The village chief frowned and seemed to be thinking about how to drive Gu Yun out in a tactful way.
In fact, Gu Yun had many problems, but all the questions were solved with the totem in the village. The village eventually went to an end, mostly because of the gods robbing the totem. The fear of the monsters wandering around seemed to be derived from the effect of the totem.
After working with Marian for quite some time, Gu Yun's detective level has also been greatly improved, so he has inferred the identities of these villagers from the totem.
Jiu once said that the initial gods had irreconcilable differences on the issue of exile, which led to the division of four factions within the gods. The warden led his subordinates to the underwater prison. After staying for nearly a thousand years, another wave of people imprisoned themselves in a hundred secret realms in order to atone for sins. These villagers should be the ones who were most determined and eventually were driven out of the kingdom of God.
In the end, the thickest-skinned group won the victory of the internal struggle and was promoted to the "legitimate inhabitant" of the Kingdom of God.
However, after seeing these villagers, Gu Yun found that they seemed to be more than just being expelled from the Kingdom of God. They were no different from ordinary people in terms of physical fitness and mental strength. This probably explains why the gods found this place and snatched the totem effortlessly and burned the entire village.
On another timeline, not long after my father passed through the "door", these villagers encountered an unexpected accident. At this moment, looking around, it seemed that the dead of the past seemed to be in sight.
"By the way, you have to be careful."
Out of good intentions, Gu Yun reminded, "In a short time, your tribesmen in heaven will come to grab the totem."
This sudden reminder shocked the village chief and the water in the water cup sprinkled on the table.
He stared at Gu Yun for a long time before asking, "Are you from the Northern Kingdom?"
"No, I'm from City X."
City X?
Why have you never heard of this place?
"That's why we don't welcome outsiders, I've heard those people have been searching for our whereabouts in recent years."
The village chief sighed, "Their believers are everywhere in the north. If they find this place, those people will come to the door immediately."
"I understand the truth, but why are you so weak?"
It is no exaggeration to say that a team of Rangers from the North can easily level this village, and there is no need for the shameless gods to come here in person.
“Because we do not have believers, nor do we need believers.”
The village chief said, "Those people regard faith as their source of energy, and they are secretly manipulating the world as managers... So why do you take the risk to remind us of this? If they know what you do, they will never let you go."
"That's great."
