Chapter 289 The Statue of the Morning

Aunt Miao.

She is an ordinary middle-aged woman.

Like most people of this ilk, sometimes selfish, sometimes noble.

Sometimes they would try some clever tricks, like picking up food that had fallen on the ground or picking out the prizes in the drinks in advance, but sometimes they would also give some discounts to sanitation workers or elderly people with difficulties in life.

Her whole life has been spent in her small convenience store.

Getting up early, sleeping late, no holidays, just buying, displaying, selling, dealing with expired goods, dealing with all kinds of people...

This kind of work is boring.

But it is Aunt Miao’s only thought.

She spent more time on the convenience store than on herself and her children's education, and she rarely left her little house except when she was occasionally in the mood.

therefore.

When she found herself caught by a ghost.

I lowered my head and looked back, and saw the pale, swollen, and terrifying face in the well.

Her first thought was.

"It's over!"

"If I were gone, there would be so much work in the store, how could Old Sun handle it all by himself..."

Wow!

With a huge force, Aunt Miao was pulled into the well with a loud splash.

The six people in the main house who were waiting for her to enter the house suddenly looked as ugly as pig livers. Aunt Miao, whom they had been waiting for for so long, finally died at the hands of evil spirits.

Aunt Miao may not be dead yet.

But none of them wanted to go out to rescue people. The well was very deep and there was no way to rescue them.

Wen Chao's face darkened. He closed the door, turned his back, listened to the shrill screams coming from outside, and let out a long sigh.

"That well must be dealt with tomorrow."

For now.

Most of the dangers in Wuzang Village are related to funeral taboos.

But the things in that well are an exception.

There is no sunlight during the day and no moonlight at night. It is dark and damp there, which is just right for the growth of evil spirits. That thing is probably a ghost that has escaped from the rules of funerals.

Before, she was too weak to come out during the day and could only move around the well at night.

But she had just killed Aunt Miao, and tomorrow the situation might become serious and bring unexpected danger.

Jiang Chun wiped the sweat from his forehead, his body shaking constantly.

"This...this Wuzang Village is so dangerous. How did those old people survive here? Will the monsters in the moonlight and the floating corpses in the well let them go?"

she asked.

Others also found it strange.

Wen Chao thought about it for a moment and then understood.

“Because they are old people.”

The only ones who go out at night are outsiders like them who have convenient hands and feet.

As for those old people, they had already lost all hope, and their bodies were about to decay, making it difficult for them to move around. Regardless of whether there was moonlight or not, they would not come out to wander around at night.

As for the lure of moonlight, some elderly people may even be hard of hearing and cannot hear it at all, and those who can hear it don’t have the energy to open the door for the monster...

Without Aunt Miao's thoughts, this group stopped struggling and went to sleep in the order they agreed on for the night watch.

But after seeing the dead.

It is unknown how many people can sleep peacefully.

……

Fortunately, the second half of the night was very quiet. The monster in the moonlight, perhaps knowing that harassment was useless, or perhaps it could only harass for a period of time each day, never appeared again after everyone decided to go to sleep.

After many dangerous experiences, Wu Xian's sleep in the blessed land became very light, and he could wake up quickly at the slightest sign of danger.

But even he was not awakened last night, which shows how peaceful last night was.

The warm sunlight shone into the room, dispelling the haze brought by the evil spirits.

Wu Xian rubbed his eyes and stood up from the ground on time.

Except that my sleep became very light.

Many experiences in blessed lands have also honed Wu Xian's other skill, which is his sleep biological clock.

Everyone has a biological clock, but Wu Xian's biological clock is more precise.

He is not the type who sleeps at night and wakes up during the day. Instead, he can sleep whenever he wants and sleep for as many hours as he wants, with an error of no more than five minutes.

No matter whether it is noisy or quiet, Wu Xian can fall asleep on time and wake up on time.

The space in the thatched hut is relatively small and the size of the wooden bed is also very limited.

So last night, only Du E and Jian Lingyu slept on the bed, while Wu Xian and the other three men slept on the floor. But whether on the bed or under the bed, the conditions were equally bad.

The bedding that the elderly usually used was covered in dirt and was impossible to sleep on, so the two girls slept on the bed board. There were even mice and small insects crawling on the floor.

But the five of them were used to this kind of poor living conditions, and a house that could be protected from the wind was considered a good place.

Wu Xian took out a poker.

I'm going to go out and practice using the boomerang.

He currently only has one weapon. It would be funny if he didn’t know how to use the boomerang when in danger. However, he was stunned as soon as he pushed open the door.

I saw eleven tables appearing on the flat ground in the middle of the village without anyone noticing!
On each table, there is a statue of a deity, an incense burner, and a stick of incense.

"Is this... our reward for surviving last night?"

Wu presented it first.

Some of the others were awake, but none of them left the room.

Wu Xian's mind moved slightly, and he walked over, and saw that there was a name written on each table.

Du E, Wen Chao, Wu Xian... tall, rich and handsome.

“Tall, rich and handsome… Tall, rich and handsome?!”

Wu Xian was stunned for two seconds.

Then he held his stomach and laughed out loud.

No wonder the young man surnamed Gao refused to tell his name and wanted everyone to call him Xiao Gao. It turns out his name is Gao Fu Shuai.

Wu Xian's laughter attracted the other people in the room. They came out rubbing their sleepy eyes and saw the name of the tall, rich and handsome man in confusion.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became joyful.

Except for the tall, rich and handsome man with a blushing face, everyone was very happy.

Fudi is dangerous and depressing, and it is very rare to have something that can make everyone relax.

After laughing.

It was time to worship the gods, but before doing so Wu Xian wanted to conduct a small test.

He walked up to Du E and tried to pick up the incense sticks on her table. Du E did not stop Wu Xian because she also wanted to see the result.

As expected, no matter how hard Wu Xian tried, he couldn't pick up the incense stick.

This means that rewards can only be claimed by each individual, and there will be no situation where one person secretly takes away rewards from others.

The test was not over yet. Wu Xian and Du E each picked up their own incense sticks, walked to each other's table, lit the incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner.

This time, the incense stick was inserted successfully!

This means that they can exchange idols with each other according to their needs, avoiding choosing unnecessary things, and maximizing the benefits of worshiping the gods for the entire team.

The statue that Wu Xian worshipped was a statue of Tianguan Fuyeshi!
The statue that Du E worshipped was the statue of the Heavenly Official - the god of happy marriages!
