MTL - Welcome To the World of Strength [Unlimited Stream]-Chapter 144 River **** sacrifice

In the afternoon, Ruan Xue got his wish and followed the village head into the ancestral hall.

Of course, he had sent a message in advance to inform his companions about this incident, but in the same way, in order to prevent accidents, Ruan Xue did not let them come to the ancestral hall.

Because if their arrival attracted Fu Yongyan and others, Ruan Xue might not be able to enter the ancestral hall.

Therefore, after learning the news, Jiang Yu and the others' job became to restrain Fu Yongyan and others.

Fortunately, this job is not difficult, the trajectory of the other party is easy to find, and they seem to be staring at them consciously.

The ancestral hall is not too small and looks very simple and solemn, but it seems that there is no electricity here, and the lighting method is still ancient oil lamps.

Ruan Xue frowned slightly, "Using oil lamps...wouldn't there be accidents?"

The village chief smiled: "With the blessing of the river god, how could something happen?"

"..." Ruan Xue didn't know how to complain about such a flag-like remark. Besides, isn't the River God already in trouble? Under such circumstances, can he continue to protect the ancestral hall?

At that moment, many thoughts flashed through Ruan Xue's mind.

If it is speculated based on the games played before or the dungeons entered, when the village chief said this sentence, such a flag event must happen afterwards, and the player usually needs to prevent this from happening.

I don't know if this will be related to their mission.

But in any case, Ruan Xue still wrote down this information in case of emergency.

What if...they need to put out the fire.

Or, it is not impossible that the river **** was angry and directly split the ancestral hall.

The village head first took Ruan Xue to kowtow to the tablets of previous village heads, then stood up with Ruan Xue's support, sighed, as if he was thinking about something.

Ruan Xue didn't interrupt him, but just looked up at the tablet.

The successive village chiefs seem to be inherited by blood, each village chief is from the same family, and the tablet placed on it...

Ruan Xue frowned slightly.

Generally speaking, the spirit tablet of the dead should say the spirit tablet of xxx, but there is only a simple name on the top tablet.

【Lu Lin】

There is definitely a problem.

Ruan Xue lowered his eyes to ponder over the character set he was playing now, and then asked: "Grandpa, why is the tablet in the middle..."

Before Ruan Xue could finish speaking, he was stared back by the village chief's cold gaze.

Facing such gazes in the dim ancestral hall, even Ruan Xue felt a sense of threat.

If it wasn't for rationality pressing him down, I'm afraid he was about to enter a state of alert.

"…grandfather?"

The village head looked away, and just said: "That tablet records the benefactor of our Lu family."

Ruan Xue raised his brows slightly.

He would not foolishly think that what kind of benefactor would allow him to be enshrined in the ancestral hall after his death.

And the other party is also surnamed Lu, definitely not an exception.

Then, Ruan Xue thought of something that Uncle Wang said before, he said that the God of the River has always entrusted dreams to the village chief...

Ruan Xue's gaze slowly swept across the tablet, and his heart skipped a beat.

What is the relationship between the river **** and the Lu family?

The village chief moved, and Ruan Xue immediately returned to his senses.

Then he saw the village chief come to a pillar, stretch out his hand and gently press somewhere, and then, like a secret room opened, a door was revealed from behind the wall.

Ruan Xue memorized the location and followed the village chief.

There seems to be some kind of secret key on the top of the stone gate. It seems that only by deciphering this can we really enter inside.

The village head glanced at Ruan Xue: "Turn around."

Ruan Xue nodded obediently, without any objection, but his subordinates moved freely, and he felt at ease cheating.

After memorizing the village chief's steps to crack the secret key, Ruan Xue also heard the sound of the stone gate opening.

Village head: "Let's go."

Ruan Xue helped the village chief to go inside, and found that it was a room about half the size of the ancestral hall, which was dark and opaque.

Although the air can communicate with the outside world, but because the gap is too small, and no one has come in for many years, the air does not smell good at the moment, with turbidity and a strange aroma.

Ruan Xue frowned slightly, but he didn't have any impression of this fragrance.

The village chief coughed twice: "Go get the oil lamp."

Ruan Xue followed suit.

Then, the two walked closer inside.

Ruan Xue glanced around, and found that there were bookshelves all around here, with many ashesy books on them, and in the center of the room, there was a coffin...

Who's inside?

Why was it not buried in the ancestral grave but placed here?

Ruan Xue thought of that fragrance again. Could it be that the incense is used to cover up the smell?

No, he didn't smell any corpses, and the corpses that could be put here must have a different identity, and they shouldn't have been put in recently.

What's more... Ruan Xue inexplicably prefers that this coffin belongs to that "Lu Lin".

The village head seems to be deliberately training Ruan Xue, probably because he thinks that after his death, his own village should take over as the head of the village.

So, after coughing twice, he led Ruan Xue inside and said, "This is also a place you will come to often from now on, so you are so familiar with it now."

Ruan Xue glanced at him, agreed first, and then said: "Then grandpa, do I also have to memorize the password on the stone gate outside?"

The village chief gave him a meaningful look: "Don't worry, it's still early, you haven't passed the river god's test yet."

Ruan Xue's eyebrows moved slightly: "Is there a relationship between the village head and the river god?"

"You will know later."

Ruan Xue had no choice but to suppress his anxiety.

It seems that it is impossible to wait for the village chief to reveal it on his own initiative, but fortunately, he has stolen the unlocking key method, and only waits for the village chief to leave before he returns.

"Grandpa, what did you bring me here this time?"

The village head pointed to the ashes on the bookshelf in front of him: "We need to go through the letters left by the village head Li Ren in detail, and then find out the problem of the river god."

"..."

Ruan Xue noticed the violation.

The village chief said before that he could not read, and now he mentioned the letters of the previous village chiefs, that is to say, he should also keep a diary during his reign, right?

But he can't read, how should he stay?

Ruan Xue was not sure if he could ask this question, and if he would be ooc after asking, but he was really afraid that there might be fraud in it, or that there might be information he had missed.

So after thinking about it, Ruan Xue still asked.

But maybe he was lucky. According to the village head's memory, "grandson" was indeed here for the first time, so it is normal to have such doubts.

The village chief said: "There are not all illiterate village chiefs."

"That?"

"It's not that you can't find someone to write for you."

Ruan Xue narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard what the village head should have said. "Isn't this a secret? If it was written by an outsider, doesn't that mean that outsiders also know these secrets...?"

The village chief laughed twice, the sound was like that from an old bellows, exuding a rotten smell.

"Yeah, so, don't let outsiders know."

Ruan Xue lowered his eyes slowly and pursed the corners of his lips.

Can't let outsiders know, so the outsiders who know are probably dead.

Now, Ruan Xue is more and more interested in what is recorded in it. Perhaps the key to breaking the game is here.

He reached out, picked up the most recent one and opened it, but what made Ruan Xue disappointed was that it only recorded what happened in the village during the village chief's reign.

I've read a few books like this.

The village head: "It seems that there have been no accidents before, and it only happened when I came to my place."

It refers to the turmoil of the river god.

It seems that the village head wants to find the reason and answer from "history", but unfortunately, this is the first time.

The two retreated from the ancestral hall, and the village head said, "It seems that we have to wait until the sacrifice is over."

Ruan Xue nodded silently.

After watching the village chief leave, he returned to the ancestral hall again.

The outermost layer is locked, but this is not a problem for Ruan Xue, his only worry is that the copy or NPC restrictions will prevent him from entering.

Ruan Xue opened the door, and then quietly pushed the door open.

No villagers or village chiefs showed up, which didn't seem to be what he was worried about.

Just taking advantage of the fact that Fu Yongyan and the others are focusing on the priest, Ruan Xue didn't delay any longer.

He flashed into the ancestral hall and quickly closed the door, but the next moment, his back felt a chill.

It's not that Ruan Xue has never experienced the moment of approaching danger, nor has he experienced the approach of ghosts in the ghost dungeon, but this is the first time for him to face an enemy that is almost S-level at an A-level level.

The cold air and sense of oppression coming from behind made Ruan Xue unable to underestimate the enemy, not even alone.

Ruan Xue gritted his teeth and turned around. The already dark ancestral hall lost the lighting of the oil lamp, leaving only a small hole of sunlight from the window, and it was not a sunny place. Now it looked even more oppressive and dim.

But even so, there is a more oppressive and darker existence in front of him.

One by one stood there like floating ghosts—they were ghosts in the first place.

Ruan Xue's fingertips were stiff, and he exhaled slowly.

All kinds of beings standing upright in front of him all expressed the same meaning, asking him to leave.

Ruan Xue moved tentatively, and the next moment, a voice seemed to break into his mind: "Get out—"

Ruan Xue gritted his teeth.

This made him even more sure that there was something untouchable in it.

Should it be the coffin?

Ruan Xue lowered his eyes and glanced at the phone, luckily he reported the news to Shi Jun and the others before he came in, otherwise there is no signal now, and nothing can be sent.

There is such a group of beings hidden in the ancestral hall. They didn't show up just now, probably because they were brought in by the village chief, but since they showed up now, why didn't they do anything?

Because he is the grandson of the village chief?

Ruan Xue tried to communicate: "Everyone... Seniors, don't be so strict. I'm just curious about the worship of the river **** at home. In addition, the state of the river **** is not right recently, so I want to find out. I don't have any malicious intentions. I don't know. Can you let it go?"

However, no voice responded to Ruan Xue.

Just when Ruan Xue was preparing for his next move, a sharp wind suddenly blew from the side.

Ruan Xue's eyes turned serious, and he subconsciously reached out to resist.

But to his surprise, Li Feng didn't aim at his face, but flew upwards, bypassing his fingertips.

Ruan Xue's heart skipped a beat.

He felt his fingertips bleeding.

Not so good.

Sure enough, the next moment, those standing ghosts felt an uncontrollable mournful and anxious emotion.

"He's not from the Lu family... Let him get out—"

"Let him die..."

"Those who trespass on the ancestral hall will die!"

This is really bad.

Thinking this way in his heart, Ruan Xue didn't panic at all. It would be better to say that this kind of development was within his expectations, but it made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Facing the enemy, at least made him feel less guilty.

After Shi Jun received the news, she confirmed the guess in her mind.

The river **** is Lu Lin, who used to be from the Lu family, but was somehow turned into... no, or forced to become a river **** by the Lu family.

The godhead itself is real, but maybe it was not fixed before, and Lu Lin is the one who was "selected" to inherit the godhead.

He became a river **** and was trapped in the Lu family, so he could only stay in Yueluo River and Yueluo Village.

And the coffin in the secret room must be Lu Lin's coffin, and his bones are also inside.

This is really important.

If he wasn't worried that his past would attract Fu Yongyan to also go there, which would cause problems with the river god's personality, Shi Jun would definitely go to check the situation in person.

But now, it can only be handed over to Ruan Xue.

After all, what I am using now is not Shi Jun's body.

Before finding the River God, she didn't want to contribute all her strength to Fu Yongyan.

Ruan Shu was secretly observing the situation of the villagers. They were very focused on preparing for the sacrificial ceremony, and beside the sacrificial altar, a member of Fu Yongyan's team was watching.

The leader once explained that they wanted to stop the sacrifice, but did not say anything about the follow-up situation.

To be honest, Ruan Shu was a little worried.

She didn't know what the leader was planning, but... According to the other party's instructions to Jiang Yu, Ruan Shu had already seen the ending.

But there is only one thing that can be believed, that is, since the leader promised to come back, there will be no damage.

Ruan Shu folded out a paper man, and said softly, "Go."

Since it was the task of Fu Yongyan and the others, Ruan Shu must destroy it.

The paper shikigami did play some role, but they were quickly wiped out by Fu Yongyan's men. The other party wanted to find Ruan Shu based on the trail, but Ruan Shu evaded quickly and well, and no one could find her.

Then, she quickly released another paper figurine.

Ruan Shu glanced at the sky, feeling uneasy all the time.

My brother went to the ancestral hall, so the coffin must have something to do with the river god, and even... that coffin might be the river god?

Although there is no evidence, Ruan Shu inexplicably guessed so.

On the other side, Jiang Yu did not go looking for Fu Yongyan's people, but found the ancestral grave of the village chief's family according to the racial characteristics of the blood clan.

She lowered her eyes and glanced around, and then quickly shuttled through it. It took a little time to determine the location and name here.

The only missing cemetery was Lu Lin's.

Jiang Yu sent a message to Shi Jun, and then paused.

She regained consciousness and saw the enemy who was also a player but with a different stand.
