Chapter 290 The First Group Worship

crunch...

The door of a thatched hut was pushed open.

Old Tang came out leaning on a cane. He drank a bowl of meat soup yesterday, and today his overall spirits looked better than before.

He had very contradictory and complicated feelings.

Look towards the center of the village.

He wanted to see both living people and broken bodies.

The desire to see living people comes from one's inner conscience and the expectation that these people can continue to take care of them, improve their living conditions and delay their death.

The desire to see the corpse is to prove to these outsiders that one is right. One will die if one breaks taboos, one will die if one disrespects ghosts and gods, and one will die if one does not listen to the advice of the elders.

I want to survive, but I don't dare to take action.

If you want to make some changes, you have to put ideological shackles on young people.

But the scene that Old Tang saw in the center of the village almost made him faint.

On the flat ground in front of the house, eleven newlyweds and their families were standing in a neat row, as if performing some mysterious ritual, bowing towards the void.

Some people laughed, some cried, and some were at a loss.

The picture is absurd, weird, and terrifying when you think about it carefully.

Old Tang leaned on his cane, his lips trembling: "Ghost, ghost... appeared in broad daylight!"

……

But in fact.

The family members were just worshipping the gods.

It’s just that whether it’s the altar, the incense burner, or the statue, they all don’t exist in the eyes of the indigenous people.

There were misty clouds ahead, and three illusory talismans were floating in front of him, swaying slightly, like clouds slightly deforming in the wind.

The three talismans are:

Shadow Character: Bless a weapon item so that when it attacks, an identical phantom is generated next to the weapon, which attacks synchronously. The strength of the phantom is equivalent to that of the weapon itself.

Transparent Character: Bless a weapon item, making it completely transparent and not stained by blood or stains, and the weapon holder can only see a vague outline.

Blood Character: Weapons blessed by this talisman will cause a 'bleeding' effect after causing damage to the enemy, and the wound will continue to bleed for a period of time.

Wu Xian thought for a moment.

The "transparent" character was rejected at the first moment. The effect of this talisman is actually very strong. If it is printed on a weapon such as a spear, it can be regarded as a hidden weapon. The enemy cannot see the weapon and naturally has no way to defend.

But it's funny to use it on a boomerang.

Because after the boomerang is thrown, the weapon holder has to catch it back...

The blood character and the shadow character made Wu Xian very conflicted. These two talismans could bring a good damage bonus to the bloodstained boomerang.

After much deliberation, Wu Xian finally chose the shadow character.

The effect of the shadow character works no matter what the enemy is.

The blood character can only be effective on enemies with blood. It is still unknown what kind of enemy they are facing. If the opponent has no blood, this talisman will be wasted. In addition, it is easy to accidentally hurt yourself when throwing the boomerang, and the constant bleeding is also a trouble.

Finally, Wu Xian made his choice.

Wu Xian's thinking process was very fast, and he was the first to worship the gods, so he was only slightly slower than the others.

When he finished worshipping the gods and looked at everyone, he found that the atmosphere had become much more relaxed.

Until just now, the newcomers had been feeling somewhat guilty.

Because after they encountered danger last night, they could not do anything, but with the props for worshiping gods, they have confidence, and they will not have to rely on others when they encounter danger again.

Some people obtained talismans or magical powers, but it was impossible to observe what they were. However, there were also a few people who obtained magical instruments.

Jiang Chun received ten long golden nails, which were exquisitely carved, hollowed out, and inlaid with gems. They looked very valuable. She was currently studying how to wear them.

This is a set of 'silver gilt filigree inlaid with pearls and stones nail covers', originally an ornament for concubines in the harem to maintain their nails, but it has a royal aura and can damage dark and dirty things.

Su Xuan got a small dagger. Normally, when ordinary people got a dagger, they would use the reverse grip with the blade facing upwards, but Su Xuan held the knife with the ice cone grip. He made two skillful movements before putting the dagger away with satisfaction.

Based on these two moves alone, Wu Xian could conclude that Su Xuan had received training in dagger fighting. There must have been a tortuous story behind him becoming one of the three drunken immortals under the overpass.

In addition, Wei Qinglan was wearing a cloak, and Li Juxian was holding a box.

This is the end.

This collective worship has come to an end.

Watching those things slowly disappear, Wu Xian sighed. The statues and the like disappeared, but at least the tables were left behind. If they took down the table tops, they would have beds to sleep on.

Sighing.

Wu Xian noticed that Old Tang was trembling and backing away, so he walked up quickly and grabbed Old Tang's sleeve.

"Mr. Tang, you are awake. I have something to ask you. Is there any shop selling porcelain in Undead City?"

"porcelain?"

Old Tang shuddered suddenly and tried to retreat, but was held firmly by Wu Xian.

Jian Lingyu also came over, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and asked gently, "I also want to know if there is a paper-making shop over there..."

"Paper shop!"

Old Tang was so frightened that he turned pale and retreated desperately.

"You old man!"

"Don't go too far!"

Wu Xian glared and grabbed Old Tang by the collar with one hand. Murder was about to overflow from the corners of his eyes, and even the curly hair on his head seemed to carry the intimidation of a ferocious beast.

"I know you have grievances, but it's not us who have caused you so much suffering. On the contrary, we are trying to make your life better."

"We did violate a taboo, but if we succeed, it will also be good for you. We are the ones who are taking the risk of losing our lives at any time. Is it appropriate for you to ask me questions like that?"

These old people are miserable.

But misery is not an excuse to be unreasonable.

If they conceal the secret for one more day, one more person in the team may die. We have to force them to reveal some information even if we have to!

Old Tang was cornered by Wu Xian and was sweating all over, and was in a dilemma.

Kindness can indeed move people's hearts, but for stubborn old things, violence is sometimes more effective.

Seeing that the old man had opened his mouth several times and was about to compromise, Du E suddenly placed her somewhat cold hand on Wu Xian's hand and pressed him down.

Then Du E grabbed the corner of her clothes, seemed a little flustered, and bowed to Lao Tang to apologize.

"Grandpa Tang, I'm so sorry."

"This guy has never known manners since he was a child. You'd better not take it personally."

Old Tang was released, his chest heaving up and down. He wanted to scold Wu Xian but didn't dare to. He could only stomp his feet twice and staggered back to his room.

Wu Xian frowned and asked Du E: "What are you doing? He is about to tell you."

Du E said in a tone like a naive heroine: "Even if he is willing to compromise by using violence, he may not tell us the complete information. I believe he will be moved by my sincerity and take the initiative to tell us the details."

Wu Xian was stunned for a moment: "How long will it take for him to take the initiative?"

Du E pressed her finger to her forehead and thought: "Maybe a few minutes."
