"I, why did I really fall asleep!"
After Xu Zhi woke up, she only felt a splitting headache.
"I was clearly just meditating last night, how could I fall asleep so unprepared?"
Xu Zhi immediately checked her body and found nothing different. Then she saw that the other people were still sleeping and quickly woke them up.
After Guo Sangsang and others woke up, they were even more confused and looked at each other. As monks, they didn't need to sleep, and they wouldn't be swayed by their thoughts to fall asleep like this.
Now the strangeness of Nanhe Village is clearly revealed.
"Sangsang, do you feel something is wrong?"
Guo Sangsang felt his condition carefully, and then said: "It stands to reason that after yesterday's meditation recovery, the whole body's mana should have been restored, but now it is still half-depleted."
Xu Zhi muttered: "My situation is a little better than yours. Although there is spiritual energy here, it seems to be poisonous and cannot be used at will."
As she spoke, she moved her right hand slightly, and a flash of lightning appeared in Xu Zhi's palm, "Even the power of the spell has been reduced. If you want to affect the spiritual energy, you need to spend at least three times the spiritual energy required before."
"According to this calculation, the mana in my body is only enough to stay here for seven days. If I can't get out after seven days, my mana will be exhausted." Xu Zhi said in a deep voice.
She took out the white cloth again, and the bloody words on it were twisted, as if the panic of the person who wrote it could be seen.
It is easy to understand how to escape from here. This Nanhe Village is full of weirdness. If you are like yourself, the people on the outer island who are trapped here will definitely want to do everything possible to escape.
And judging from the spiritual poison in the air, it may only take three days for an ordinary Tongxuan and Dharma-developing young monk to completely lose his magic power and become a mortal.
But the next few items are too obvious, especially the one about destroying the stove, which directly goes against the rules mentioned by the old lady.
Although this village and the old woman are very strange, the person who left the white cloth is not necessarily a good person. It is possible that he left the words behind and deliberately let future people violate the rules of this place.
Of course... how to judge is also very simple. Just let the waiter of Duobao Pavilion try it himself. However, Xu Zhi is not planning to do this at the moment. First, the situation has not reached the moment of collapse, so he will not do this. Secondly, what if more dangerous rules come out in a few days and only Sang Sang and Meng Ziwan are left around?
On the contrary, the waiters offered to go and find out. For them, whether they could get out alive or not depended on Xu Zhi alone. The situation was deadlocked here. If even Xu Zhi could not escape, they would only die.
If he goes to test it out on his own, and is lucky enough to survive and find out some information, there may be hope of survival. There is no doubt that he will have a good life in the future. Even if he dies, he can still benefit the family.
Moreover, there is another layer of consideration in their hearts. If they take the initiative to ask for help, there is still a sense of friendship. However, if they wait any longer and are forced to try, it will become a lose-lose situation.
Xu Zhi shook her head and said calmly: "It's not like this now. If it comes to the day when it becomes necessary, I will take care of you and your family."
"What's your name?" Xu Zhi looked at the middle-aged female cultivator who volunteered.
"My surname is Du Mingni. I am a member of the Du family on Nanyuan Island in the East China Sea. I have only one son named Du Bei. If I unfortunately die here, I hope you can take care of my son."
Xu Zhi said with a serious expression: "I promise you that if your son has the talent for cultivation, I will introduce him to my sect. If he fails in cultivation, I can also guarantee his wealth for the rest of his life."
The middle-aged female cultivator knelt directly on the ground and said excitedly: "Your Majesty has a kind heart, and I am determined to be your pioneer, and I have no complaints at all!"
The remaining two people are Lin Lin and Qiao Wen. They are not too old and both have Qi refining skills. If they were in any remote place, they could be regarded as masters who could intimidate anyone.
However, Duobao Pavilion, as a chamber of commerce jointly established by several major sects in the East China Sea, has extremely high standards. The waiters on board are all monks, most of whom come from various small cultivation families on the islands dotted in the East China Sea.
After receiving Xu Zhi's promise, these two people both went to death generously and regarded death as home, and their morale instantly increased several times.
It's a good thing that Yan Zhilan was born in Jiuyou Dao. In her opinion, it was a great kindness not to force these three waiters to test themselves. Xu Zhi's behavior was already a bit corrupt. The taste is gone.
But in this case, it was Xu Zhi who still had a somewhat principled attitude, which made Yan Zhilan feel a little uneasy, because compared to Xu Zhi, she was also a weakling, and she also had a heart that could be used. Pathfinder stones.
Several people communicated around Bai Bu for a while, but they didn't come to any specific conclusions because there were obvious contradictions in what they said to the old woman.
Xu Zhi looked around at everyone and finally concluded: "If we can find the figure that flashed past last night, maybe the truth will come to light."
"This white cloth may be the work of the original owner here, or it may be a reminder that the figure wants to give us."
"After a while, the troops split into two groups. Sangsang and I went to the village to see if there was anyone we could communicate with. After all, the old woman only said she couldn't communicate with young children, but she didn't say she couldn't talk to adults."
Xu Zhi looked at Yan Zhilan again, "You guys stay in the house and see if the figure from yesterday will come back again!"
After the explanation, Xu Zhi and Guo Sangsang opened the door and came to the village.
The village at this moment was still the same as it was when they first came in yesterday, with endless traffic, chickens and dogs hearing each other, and children playing, it looked like a paradise. However, when the two of them looked at it again at this moment, they felt it was weird no matter how they looked at it.
First of all, as Guo Sangsang said, the entire village, from the elderly to the children, are all women, and there is not even a man. Xu Zhi's first thought was the daughter's country recorded in ancient books.
Moreover, when describing this country in the book, it was also recorded that...you cannot drink the water from the stream, otherwise you will be in danger of getting pregnant out of thin air, which is almost exactly the same as the reminder on the white cloth.
But when Xu Zhi got to know more about it, she found that the situation here was not similar to that of the Daughter's Kingdom. Most people said that they were just like the old woman, and the young men went out to sea to fish. At this time, only women and children were left in the village. It's like a daughter's country, where you don't even know what a man is.
There were only twenty households in the village. Xu Zhi spent the whole morning walking around and did not get any useful information. Only when he visited the house at the east end of the village, Xu Zhi noticed that the daughter-in-law of her family, He had been hiding in the back room and peeking at Xu Zhi and others, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
But Xu Zhi didn't want to violate the rules at the moment, so she just pretended not to see him and left.
Back to the house, Xu Zhilan was not here, so naturally it was Yan Zhilan who took on the big responsibility, while the other four people hid in the house to try their best to resist the loss of mana.
The sun was gradually setting, and Yan Zhilan couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw that Xu Zhi and the others hadn't come back yet. Xu Zhi was undoubtedly the backbone of their group, and if she were left here, the others would have no chance of survival.
Just when she was anxious, there was a sudden noise at the door. Yan Zhilan kept Xu Zhi's instructions in mind and did not open the door directly, but looked out through the door mirror.
In this village, although there was no white mist, spiritual consciousness was further suppressed. After the wide-area perspective that the monks relied on for survival was gone, Yan Zhilan had no choice but to use this ancient method of observation.
This look didn't matter, it almost scared Yan Zhilan to death. The old woman's wrinkled face was stuck outside the door mirror, looking straight into the house!
