Aside from the stinking garbage dump and public toilets in the village, only one building in the center of the village was not checked, that is, the ancient clock tower standing in the center, because it was an independent building, and there was no door depicting Taoist charms on the periphery.

When Cao Xuan left, he glanced at the walking corpses with teeth and claws, secretly sighed their persistence again, shook his head and ran to the center of the village, the layout of this house is very compact, there is a small open space in the middle of a circle of houses, overgrown with dead grass in twos and threes, and the middle is the clock tower in the village, but it is more appropriate to say that it is a tube building than a bell tower, the gray tiles are stacked on top of each other, the cement inlays the stone bricks, there are many cracks on the surface full of traces of time, and the top is covered with octagonal green tiles, The three simple stone windows that open through are the only circulation holes in the tower.

A village can have an ancient clock tower shows that its history is very long, there are two theories about its origin, the first is that during the Wanli period, there are demons and evil in the town to harm one party, the people are miserable, every day they are frightened, every midnight someone disappears for no reason, everyone says that the missing person has become the ration of the monster, this situation has continued until a wandering monk passes, passing by here to see the evil spirit here, suddenly shocked, after understanding that he knows that he is not the opponent of the monster, but the heart is merciful, I don't want to see the people continue to die, so I told everyone to wait for three days after their departure, build a bell tower in the village, ring the bell in the morning, beat the drum at dusk, and the town can be restored to peace after a year.

The second is said to be in the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne not long after, there were earthquakes in the Guanzhong area, the people said that this is a dark river underground, there is a dragon in the river, whenever the dragon turns over will cause an earthquake, Ming Taizu heard that this matter is a little worried, the heart is always unsteady, so find a way to suppress the dragon, in the world to find a way to suppress the capable people, at that time there are a lot of strange warlocks, it didn't take long for someone to come to the door to offer advice, said that you can build a bell tower in the center of the earthquake, the bell is the sound of heaven and earth, Three chimes a day can make the dragon fall into a deep sleep, so there is a bell tower can suppress the earthquake This is said, Cao Xuan can know that these origins are still recorded through historical books, he is reluctant to communicate with people on weekdays, and often hides in the library to read books as a time pastime.

Walking around the bell tower, all sides were sealed without a portal, Cao Xuan looked at the pavilion above, the bottom must not be able to enter, although my strength has far exceeded ordinary people, but it is still impractical to split stones with bare hands, and I have to find a way to climb the pavilion at the top of the bell tower.

Some distance away from the bell tower, Cao Xuan ran with all his might, jumped up violently when he was about to hit the wall, superhuman strength sent his body into the air, and when he was about to fall, his feet stepped on the wall to borrow strength, and his hands stretched out to hook the cross-section of the edge of the pavilion, but unfortunately it was still a little short, and Cao Xuan fell back to the ground.

No, it's still too reluctant, I need to find something to pad it and I should be able to go up.

Returning to the village house, Cao Xuan took out some tables from it and put them side by side under the tower, originally for the sake of safety, Cao Xuan wanted to put more, but there was a low roar from the corner of the dark alley behind, and the deaf and mute walking corpses kept up with the steps, Cao Xuan's mood was really quite speechless.

I really owe you something, I follow you wherever I go, forget it, just go up like this! The height is about the same.

Like the last time, this time Cao Xuan successfully climbed to the top, and when he looked down, the hemp rope fell from the pavilion, serving as a bridge connecting the upper and lower places, and a little candlelight flickered in the darkness.

The altar for the worship of organs is indeed here, and the tower body is not engraved with Taoist charms, perhaps because the bell tower itself has the effect of deterring evil spirits, but I don't know what danger it will face this time.

Grabbing the Dangyang sword in his hand, and taking out the revolver in the other hand, Cao Xuan jumped directly from the bottom of the tower, and as soon as he fell, there was a crazy beating sound of walking corpses outside, and it seemed that he was trying his best to stop Cao Xuan's actions, banging on the wall desperately, rumbling outside.

Ignoring the movement outside, the other party couldn't get in anyway, Cao Xuan cautiously walked to the altar and tentatively stretched out his hand.

Well? There is no Taoist ban? It seems that the masters of the village are very relieved to set up the offerings in the tower, so that I will not have to worry a lot.

As Cao Xuan's hand reached out to the red cloth covered by the altar, the walking corpses outside became more and more anxious, knocking, shouting, and the white-clothed female ghost who had been peeping at Cao Xuan was also standing aside, her miserable white face was very anxious, but what kind of scream she made, Cao Xuan couldn't see or feel it at all.

Lifting the red cloth, covered with a mattress sewn with the ears of the deaf underneath, Cao Xuan took it away and put it back in the inventory, and the prompt sounded when the task was completed.

[Students complete the main quest (1), and the follow-up quest will be released below:]

[Main quest (2): Find the secret altar in the deep forest south of the village, and place the three sacrifices you find for sacrifice. 】

Just when Cao Xuan was reading the content of the main quest (2), the beating sound of the walking corpses outside was gone, and when the two corpses obtained the last offering organ from Cao Xuan, they began to staggered towards the south of the village, and at this time, the corpses crawled out of the mound in the south of the village entrance, which belonged to the deaf walking corpses that had lost their ears, and in the mysterious and dark deep forest, there seemed to be a mysterious power calling them, and the three walking corpses were gradually engulfed and disappeared by the darkness in the south.

The originally cloudless sky above the village was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the village was completely shrouded in darkness, although it was not so much that he could not see his fingers, but the darkness of the night was almost the same, and he climbed up to the pavilion along the rope, Cao Xuan stood in the center and looked into the distance, and the white-clothed female ghost below was flickering, as if she had been hit by a great blow, and she was about to be scattered, and a pair of dead fish eyes stared at Cao Xuan at the top of the tower with resentment.

Retracting his gaze from afar, Cao Xuan's heart was mixed, he was happy that the main quest had been completed smoothly, and he was not in danger when he obtained the last offering organ, but he was worried that the changes in the sky and the mission goal of the main quest (2) made him feel worried.

How do I feel like I am like a seed seduced by a demon, and I am breaking the seal of the evil god step by step, and if this momentum continues, maybe after the mission is completed, I will release some kind of evil and terrifying existence, all this seems not quite right from the beginning, why separate us from the other students?

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan was worried about the situation of Yue Ruxue and Wang Erzhuang, and from Wang Wen's mouth, he could be sure that Qu Yangtian was by no means a good person, and Uncle Erzhuang couldn't count on it, he only hoped that Yue Ruxue would be clever and not be deceived.

Taking out the contact headset, Cao Xuan turned on the accept button, the busy sound from the stream disappointed him again, he retracted his mind and jumped off the clock tower, Cao Xuan walked south from the village road, and the scene on both sides of the way made him feel a little unusual.

These buildings seem to have changed, and the tops are a little crooked, especially the sharp scenery has obvious distortion, which seems to be a pull caused by the tearing of the space, and! The walking corpses that have been following me are gone, and this must have something to do with the fact that I have gathered all the organs to be worshipped.

The changes in the buildings in the village were not obvious at first, and if it was an ordinary person, it might be lost, but Cao Xuan's heart was very careful, and he found an abnormality not long after walking in the village, and when he walked to the south of the village and looked back, the whole village became crooked.

Nothing has changed outside the village, only this anomaly appears in the village, it seems to be disturbed by a strange force, and such a force that can affect the shape of the entire village is really terrifying, and if it continues, something terrible will definitely happen here.

Cao Xuan turned his head to face the deep forest in the south, which was the destination of his main quest (2), a quiet and dark road slanted upward, the trees on the side of the road were like Yin soldiers in ancient tombs, watching the tomb robbers sneak in, the depths at the end of the road could only see a thick darkness, there was no light, the sky above the deep forest emitted a green light, everything was quiet and terrifying.

The deep forest and the village are full of unknown dangers, I can choose not to enter the village, but I can't choose not to complete the main story, even if I know that danger will happen, I can only go head-on in order to live, what an irony! Each of us is like a tightrope clown, who will fall off the stage if he is not careful, but the clown loses face when he falls, and we lose our lives.

Stepping on the road to the wilderness, Cao Xuan gradually deepened, from the outside, it was clear that the deep forest was not far from the village, and Cao Xuan was still on the road after ten minutes had passed, as if he had entered the eternal corridor of time, and he would never be able to walk the seemingly short but long road.

It stands to reason that at my speed, even if this road is long, it is enough to walk back and forth, on the way I paid attention to the scenery along the way, I did not take the repetitive road, and the trees on both sides did not have a familiar feeling, indicating that every scene I passed by was not the same, this time the main quest was really not easy to complete, I was trapped before I entered the deep forest, since it was not possible to move forward, then try to retreat.

Turning around, Cao Xuan ran back in the direction of the village, and after running for a long time, he found that no matter how fast he was, he could never see the entrance of the village when he came, and the road in front of him was lined with different trees and impenetrable darkness.

Since you can't get out of front and back, try walking to the left.

Inserted into the trees on the side of the road, the visibility of the auxiliary vision without moonlight at night is not high, Cao Xuan can still flexibly shuttle to avoid potholes, and after running for a while, a path appeared in front of him, and standing in the middle of the road, Cao Xuan found that it was still the original path.

There is a mysterious force that traps me in this area, and I can't get out of it blindly by running blindly, so there must be some way to crack it, first carve a mark on the tree.

Walking to the tree, Cao Xuan clenched his fist and punched the tree trunk, the bark was cracked, and he ran a few steps forward Cao Xuan made the same action against different tree trunks, this action lasted about ten trees Cao Xuan stopped and continued to run forward, while paying attention to whether there were any marks on the tree that he had made.
