Chapter 714 Character Bug, Obstacle

Ever since the Liu family came to power, Liu has been a common surname. If you have a complete family tree, you can definitely find a noble ancestor by following the genealogy.

To this day, the surname Liu is one of the top five surnames in China, with more people in the north.

Wen Yan himself knew that there were many people with the surname Liu in Guanzhong County, but it was difficult to tell what this was.

He just asked the old man about the location of Liujia Village, and then went back and asked someone to check it out.

The fact that the goddess of Luo River could stare at it for so long and with such fascination proves that this small, dilapidated temple is somewhat worthwhile.

And Liujia Village, which previously worshipped this small temple, must have something special about it.

There must be some truth in the legend told by this old man.

Of course, listening to gossip is also interesting.

Wen Yan thought the compressed dry food he took out tasted very ordinary, but these people cherished it very much.

It contains not only sugar and salt, but also butter. Ordinary people in this era probably won’t taste butter once in a whole year.

He was willing to listen. The old man got something to eat and was willing to brag to the city people in front of him.

“Well, when I was young, Liujia Village was still a well-known wealthy village in the surrounding area. Even during famines, no one in their village starved to death.

When the imperial court was still in power, there had never been any news that anyone in their village could not pay taxes and had to sell their children.

On the contrary, some wealthy families in their village couldn’t bear it and bought the baby who couldn’t survive.

There was a famine that year, and many people in the village were willing to sell to them for free, as long as they were given food.

Unfortunately, they didn’t dare to do that at that time. If they had taken the lead, ten days or half a month later, the number of refugees would have been greater than the population in their village.

I’m not afraid of you laughing at me, but I was almost starving to death at that time and wanted to sell it to Liujia Village. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the village when I went there.

It was strange, but I was so hungry that my eyes turned blue and I didn’t have time to care about it, so I went somewhere else.

Later, I heard that the world was in chaos, with horse bandits in the north, traitors next door, water bandits in the south, and swordsmen in Guanzhong.

No one knows when Liujia Village disappeared. I heard that it was visited by bandits many times because of its reputation for wealth.

But later I also heard that when the disaster came, a huge snake appeared, entangled the village, and disappeared with the entire village.

Some people also said that the ancestors of Liujia Village had an old relationship with the river god, so they went to the river god’s Dragon Palace to enjoy happiness.

I have seen a kid named Liu before, and he claimed that his ancestors were from the royal family.

When I heard him talk about some things, I always felt that they sounded familiar. He might be from Liujia Village.

I just don’t know how that young boy could be from Liujia Village since Liujia Village has disappeared for so many years…”

At this point, the old man paused, and his excited movements of eating and bragging froze in place, his face blank.

Wen Yan looked at the other people in the small temple who were listening to the story with their ears perked up, and they all looked confused.

It took a long time for the old man to recover.

“Hey, where was I just now? I suddenly forgot.”

Wen Yan smiled and said.

“It’s okay, old man, you eat first, and when you’re done, just talk about whatever comes to mind. I’ll go check out the temple.”

He suddenly thought of the young man in the temple when he came here just now. The young man just looked back and then exploded.

However, no one else in the temple felt that there was anything unusual here, as if they didn’t notice anything at all.

Now, when this old man talked about a young man from Liujia Village, he immediately went into a state of shutdown. This was too obvious.

This is Gu Meng after all. In Wen Yan’s opinion, this situation is equivalent to an NPC character with a bug in the originally fixed game process, and then the official simply and rudely deleted this NPC character, causing bugs on a larger scale.

Wen Yan took note of this matter and went back to investigate Liujia Village.

After he walked out, he instantly appeared on the top of the mountain. He took pictures of the surrounding environment with his mobile phone and turned back to find someone to check.

Returning to the temple, Wen Yan did not continue to sit down. He also imitated Luoshen and looked at the remaining things in the small temple.

This place has a strong northern feature. It is built against the mountain and on rocks. Many of the east and west walls are actually mountain rocks. The things carved on them are not affected by wind and rain erosion and are well preserved.

Wen Yan took a look at the text and recognized most of it. Even though there were some blurry and unclear characters or unfamiliar variant forms, he could still understand them by referring to the context.

This temple does not mention He Bo, but only mentions the local river god. It roughly means that the person who invested in building the temple encountered the river god by chance, so he built the temple here to worship him.

But Wen Yan noticed that the records available here did not mention what happened after the encounter with the river god.

It is the very common kind of person who regards the encounter with a god as an adventure in itself.

It’s a pity that the upper body of the statue here has disappeared, otherwise we could have captured more information.

He walked around to the side of the statue and looked at the damage it had. There was a hole inside. The clay statue was obviously made by a skilled person and had all the necessary features.

Perhaps because of this, the clay statue was vandalized and the dirty things inside were taken away.

As far as he knew, some of the statues had complete procedures, and some of the dirty things contained valuables, and some were antiques.

There are also some that may become rare objects after the spiritual energy is revived.

Unfortunately, the damage here is so severe that you can no longer tell what was there.

Wen Yan quietly came to Luo Shen and asked in a low voice.

“Did sister see anything?”

“The one who was once enshrined here was the one who wanted to take away his power. In his name, but not him.”

“Then keep going forward. Next one, sister, please don’t show up yet. I’ll go check it out first.

From what I can see so far, in two consecutive dreams, someone saw my sister and immediately exploded.

The next one, maybe too.”

Luo Shen nodded. She also understood that if she showed up, she would not be able to find anything.

Wen Yan continued to take photos in the small temple, and then continued on his journey and moved forward.

This time, walking along the river bank, we were heading towards the so-called Liujia Village. Not far away, the heavy snow around us disappeared.

The hillside ahead is full of greenery, and you can also see neatly stacked terraces on the slope.

Wen Yan nodded to Luo Shen, then took the first step forward and disappeared.

Less than half a minute after rushing out, he stood on the top of a mountain, looked forward, and his expression suddenly changed.

……

In Liujia Village, in the ancestral hall, Liu Feipeng was kneeling beneath the tablet in the ancestral hall, with his hands clasped together, holding three incense sticks in his hands and raising them above his head, keeping the three incense sticks upright at all times, and bowing his head heavily.

Then he moved to the side again and started to worship the tablets there. After worshipping, he looked at the newest tablet and whispered to himself.

“In the past, you would come here to worship your ancestors on festivals, the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, and ask them to bless you.

Now you are sitting here yourself, starting to bless the younger generations… If you can really bless, please bless our family and keep us safe and stable.

The village… The village has changed, people have started dying.

I watched the people in the village turn into monsters one by one.

That day I also saw a person tied up under the thatched hut of the village chief’s house.

I didn’t dare tell anyone, and I didn’t dare go out.

Your daughter-in-law is already pregnant and is due to give birth in six months.

I really didn’t dare to cause any trouble, I could only pretend not to see it.

Dad, it doesn’t matter if you don’t bless me, just bless your unborn grandson.”

Liu Feipeng kowtowed heavily again, and when he stood up, his eyes were red.

He heard a sound coming from outside and immediately rubbed his face to calm himself down.

When he stood up, he saw a figure standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

The figure seemed to have no skin all over his body, revealing the dark red flesh beneath the skin, and oily yellow fat hanging on the flesh.

As if noticing Liu Feipeng’s gaze, seven or eight blood bags suddenly grew on the chest of the man at the door. After the blood bags burst, eyes opened one by one, swaying and staring at Liu Feipeng.

The tilted head also split apart, like a flower, and on each petal, there was either an eye, a nose, or an ear.

“Fei Peng, it’s not a festival and it’s not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, how can we come to worship our ancestors?”

The moment the sound appeared, the man stretched out his hand, and a big open mouth appeared in the palm of his hand. In coordination with the petals on his neck, several mouths made sounds together, and the sound seemed to echo, buzzing.

Liu Feipeng took a look, lowered his head slightly, and spoke in a muffled voice.

“Today is my father’s 57th day.”

“Oh, that’s as it should be.”

After a dry chat for a few words, Liu Feipeng lowered his head and left the ancestral hall.

He walked out of the ancestral hall and left quickly. When he passed by a yard, he suddenly heard a heart-wrenching scream.

He saw several horrible-looking monsters hanging up a sturdy man. One of the monsters waved one hand, which turned into a wide and thick knife, and stabbed it into the man’s neck with a “swish”.

There was another monster next to it, Gagagua, laughing, holding a bloody basin and collecting the blood from below.

Liu Feipeng took a look and continued to lower his head, pretending that he didn’t see anything unusual, but his steps unconsciously became a little faster.

After walking a short distance, they saw another monster waving several tentacles and screaming something incomprehensible. Several skinny, naked women were driven into a house.

The house was covered with blue veins like blood vessels, and in the yard, dark red blood was emitting a fishy smell and was sticky.

As if sensing Liu Feipeng’s gaze, the house made of flesh and blood began to wriggle, and a human head connected to some blood vessels floated up.

The head looked at Liu Feipeng and opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of broken yellow teeth.

“Fei Peng, have you eaten?”

As he spoke, the window shook, and several human heads appeared with blue veins hanging out. Those heads had lifeless eyes, staring blankly at Liu Feipeng.

“I’ve…eaten.”

Liu Feipeng replied in a muffled voice, his muscles stiffened, and he left quickly.

Only when he returned to his home and looked at the dilapidated straw and earth walls did he feel a little relieved.

Pushing open the wooden door and entering, the sound of the millstone turning slowly could be heard. Her daughter-in-law was using a small millstone to grind some beans.

“You’re back. Sit down first.”

Her daughter-in-law swiftly entered the kitchen and took out two yellow steamed buns from the pot, with some shredded pickled cabbage on top.

“Take some time first. I’ll make tofu and give you a bowl of it later.”

“Don’t work anymore, take a rest, I’ll do it.” Liu Feipeng felt sorry for his wife and quickly took over the job. He had specifically asked about it, because she had never given birth to a child, so she had to take good care of the fetus in the first few months. The baby didn’t eat well to begin with, and if she didn’t take good care of herself, problems would be more likely to occur.

He actually wanted to run away a long time ago, but unfortunately he tried to secretly take his wife away twice, but his wife couldn’t leave the village.

He didn’t want to run away alone, and he was also afraid that those monsters would hang his wife on a tree and kill her one day. Every time he went out, he would repeatedly warn his wife not to go out alone.

Her wife saw that Liu Feipeng was a little unskilled and only knew how to use brute force, so she smiled and asked him to move aside.

“Don’t bother me. I’m used to working. If you don’t let me work, I’ll feel uncomfortable. Don’t make trouble, otherwise the tofu won’t be made.”

Liu Feipeng smiled awkwardly and sat down next to her again. He watched his wife do the work neatly and efficiently, and slowly felt relieved.

We still have to find a way to escape from here. The village is becoming more and more terrifying.

When his wife finished grinding the beans, she saw that Liu Feipeng’s brows were still full of worry, so she walked up to him, gently hugged his head, held his head in her arms, and spoke softly.

“Don’t think so much. I’m satisfied as long as I have food to eat and you accompany me every day. Don’t think so much.

The rain has been good this year, so our land will surely have a good harvest. After saving some seeds, it will definitely be enough for a year’s food.

Maybe there is some surplus food, so I can raise two more chickens and they can lay more eggs.

When the baby is born next year, maybe we can eat an egg every other day.”

The woman’s voice was soft, filled with longing for the future.

Liu Feipeng’s eyes were red, he hugged the woman, and his tone was firm.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

When the woman patted him and got up to go to the kitchen to cook soy milk, Liu Feipeng looked up at the sky.

The sky on one side seemed to be reflected in a fiery red color, and outside in front, a faint red light could be seen shining.

“on fire?”

He was slightly startled and quickly got up and prepared to go out to take a look.

When he reached the door, he paused, walked to the wall, moved the ladder, placed it on the wall, climbed up and looked outside.

Then, at a glance, I saw a skeleton man with flames burning all over his body on the hillside outside the village entrance. The flames were at least ten meters high and there were countless evil spirits circling around him. He was standing there and looking towards the direction of the village.

The flames were like flowing water, accompanied by tiny sparks, and continued to spread towards the village.

Fires had already started in some places in the village, and even though he was far away, he could still feel the heat wave.

Suddenly, the steamed buns and pickles on the table were ignited by a little spark and turned into charcoal in an instant.

From the kitchen, his wife’s exclamation was also heard.

At the entrance of the village, Wen Yan stood there, looking at the village in shock.

Is this an old dream? Or is this the Dharma Ending Period? What has he done to him?
