002, late (3.8k)

Lin Feng floated outside the window of the small dilapidated public building, listening to the disgusting devouring sound inside.

The wind is blowing.

Under the blowing of the wind, the Ten Immortal Methods inside smashed the window, and rushed towards Lin Feng's face outside the window in a daze, hitting Lin Feng's face with a flutter.

Lin Feng's eyes darkened.

The silky and slippery feeling made Lin Feng subconsciously think of the feeling of blood nematodes burrowing into his facial features, and he felt a chill.

Hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled it down.

At this moment, the scene outside changed and the stars changed, and Lin Feng saw that he had come from the small county town public house around the millennium to the even more ancient bustling market in the late Qing Dynasty.

Onigiri reads a book

He smelled the faint smell of the sea in the wind, saw the mad figures dancing beside the campfire, saw the blood moon rising, and the island's towering trees hung dead air-dried offerings.

He saw the erosion of the country's coastal defenses, the rampant piracy, the massive migration of populations, the west, the east, and the South Seas.

He saw the vast land outside the pass, hiding the secrets of the deep mountains in the northeast.

I saw the vast grassland at the west entrance, the people were like grass mustard, and the official card was like nails.

He also saw that on the other side of the South Seas, foreigners were sharpening their knives, and giant beasts were hiding among them.

This weird, powerless dream, in the sudden grand narrative, rushed into Lin Feng's heart, and quickly disappeared, and in the end, everything turned into a bubble and was punctured by "bo".

Lin Feng returned to "reality", stood on the street down-to-earth, and saw the scene he saw at first glance when he rushed in not long ago.

Saw the bustling street market.

He stood on the street, on his left, the wine banner was waving, and the man with the braid on his head was sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, talking high, and the healthy horse "chirped" and pulled the carriage, passing past Lin Feng, the conversation between the blonde foreigner and the local lord on the car was blown into his ears by the wind, and was dispersed by the sound of the head shaver in the razor hand of the head shaver following behind the car.

Pyrotechnics.

When Lin Feng saw these commons, he suddenly calmed down.

On the streets, cultured people in long robes and horse coats and hard-working people in shorts and shorts are staggered, and coopers and Westerners in Western clothes walk on their front and back feet.

In the distance, the foreign language is shining, the comprador at the door is lamely learning the handshake gift of foreigners, and the pawnshop next to it, under the high counter, the apprentice is clumsy in calculating today's gains and losses.

Lin Feng touched behind him.

The braids are still there.

But the foreigners have already come.

Before his eyes.

Information about the time and place appeared.

【Xianfeng 39th year, Fukou】

A year that never existed.

A place name that I don't know where.

Characters don't have to choose.

It's already set.

Touching his face, Lin Feng roughly estimated that this body was about a young man, seventeen or eighteen years old, and when he was half a year old, he should have had a wife and children in ancient times.

The breath in the lungs is still there, it's the eighth grade, and the runes in the left eye are still there, and these things have been brought in.

There are no stripping spells.

Again, the hair is not greasy, the nails are neat, and in the pocket of the clothes are some strange bills and copper coins, dragon yang, pocket watches.

This is a young master from a rich and enlightened family, possibly from a comprador family.

Lin Feng looked forward, and after the time and place had passed, the gurgling water, with the unique fishy smell of the sea giant beast, formed a text in front of him.

The game begins.

【Start the game】

【Exit the Game】

Lin Feng's gaze swept over these conditions, and with these four points in mind, he chose [Start Game].

Anyway, let's try the water first.

Choosing to start the game, Lin Feng didn't have time to look around again, when he saw a gentleman wearing a melon skin hat and a civilization staff walking towards him, his face full of anxiety.

Before the people arrived, there was a smell of clothes with soap horns.

His hair was also neatly combed, and he hurriedly asked as he walked, "Ah Feng, where are you going?"

The old man is looking for you everywhere and you can't find it, I'm afraid I'm going crazy!

If you don't come again, I'm afraid you'll have to be boarded outside the ancestral hall!

If you're late, the old man won't be able to save you. ”

The gentleman looked quite rich, with a jadeite wrench in his hand, and an opening in his coat, in which was a gold pocket watch.

He grabbed his pocket watch in one hand, kept observing the time, and kept swallowing spit.

He came in a horse-drawn carriage, Western style, closed carriage.

A sturdy servant sat in the carriage, ready to leave at any moment.

Lin Feng glanced at the gentry's head, [Third Uncle, Li Buqi].

Third uncle?

Sure enough, it's a big family.

So who is he?

Ah Feng, Li Buqi, his name is Li Feng?

Lin Feng was pulled into the carriage by this third uncle, and did not speak, it could be seen that his third uncle was really anxious, pointing to the coachman and telling him to go back quickly, and even instructed his subordinates to drive dangerously.

"Hurry up, hurry up, no matter how many cheap skins you kill, don't worry, be careful not to bump into the red-haired devil, if you miss the time to worship your ancestors, something big will happen."

The third uncle said as he sat down beside Lin Feng and said with a slight reprimand: "Ah Feng, what's the matter with you?" Today is the day of our ancestors, and I don't believe you have forgotten.

Can you forget such a big thing?

It's just that ancestor worship scared you a few years ago, why are you so willful?

If the big day of the sacrifice is ruined, no matter how much the old man likes you, he can't spare you! ”

"The day of ancestor worship? Wayward frightened? ”

Lin Feng was still silent, he glanced at the inside of the carriage, he could see that the interior of the carriage he was in was not luxurious, and a wisp of green smoke erupted from the incense burner in front of him, with a surging fragrance that made people feel refreshed.

Lin Feng didn't know what to say, he simply closed his eyes and carefully thought about the difficulty of this game.

Obviously, he was about to be arrested as soon as he came out, and the reason was to worship his ancestors.

He should be in the Jiangnan region, the time does not exist in the late Qing Dynasty, and the identity is the young master of a big family, judging from the game task, this time it is not only a protection task (the Li family wants someone to live), but also a deadline task (thirty days to survive), and it also needs to go to a place (Rigra Island), and also need to start a magic weapon.

At the moment, it seems that the easiest thing is to get a magic weapon.

So where is the difficulty of this mission most likely to occur?

Is there trouble on the way?

Or is there trouble on the island, what if he takes a boat to the island and then comes back to the ship?

After all, the mission is to reach Rigra, and I don't live on Rigra Island, if this island is dangerous, then I will delay the time, can I go to the island on the thirtieth day?

This task has a lot of room for stealing chickens, and the important thing is that Lin Feng has not forgotten that this is an "open world".

I'm in the mountains of Xiangxi, and no matter how I walk, it's a death.

I'm in this bustling world, I have money, maybe I have a train, I can't go around the country yet?

I can't go to Xiangxi to take a look and see what's wrong with Xiangxi?

Lin Feng knew how to play this game.

Mess around.

The third uncle said, "A few years ago, the ancestor was scared? ”

"The ancestor is late, and the old man can't save you?"

It is understood before and after, it is a board, and the old man can't save his grandson?

He can understand this, the clan rules are greater than the sky, if he really violates the clan rules, it is normal for the old man to not be able to save him.

But what if it meant something else?

Lin Feng couldn't help but think about it too much, this game was too malicious.

Lin Feng subconsciously felt that there was something big wrong with the Li family.

Ancestor worship, how can it scare people?

After the Song Dynasty, because of the changes in folk customs, the ancestors became gentle and polite, and they would take the initiative to protect their descendants, and they would communicate with their descendants in a friendly manner, from a domineering monarch image to a standard big family head.

It's like Jia Mu.

Although domineering, but there is also a bit of care in it, if the ancestors have an official and a half position (city emperor, yincha), then their descendants, will be contaminated with some blessings.

In addition, as the monks began to expand the charity of water and land conferences from starving ghosts to all ownerless spirits, and from mages from Taoist monks recognized by the imperial court to ordinary people who can exorcise demons as long as they have a skill.

There are some special folk spells from the three religions and nine streams, and when the spells began to sink, there were a lot more folk customs in the Central Plains Dynasty area, but there were obviously a lot less sneaky and harmful, at least it was no longer the mainstream melody.

The ancestor worship of the Qing Dynasty no longer has the ceremonial of six days of old spirit, only solemn and solemn.

Sometimes, everyone will use the prison to worship their ancestors on special days, and then they will kneel and worship, invite the gods to enter the ancestral hall, etc., there may be differences, but they are all the same.

Anyway, the ceremony won't be intimidating.

How was this young man, who was thirteen or fourteen years ago, scared?

What did he see?

Unless, their big family, worshipping ancestors and worshipping is not very normal!

Thinking like this, Lin Feng suddenly felt a shaking, and the axle of the entire Western carriage shook, and even the tea and incense burner on the table rolled to the ground.

The third uncle was holding a gold pocket watch in his hand, and he was looking at the time without blinking, but when this scene happened, the third uncle screamed in fright.

The incense burner smashed on him, and he didn't have time to cry out in pain, but just opened the car door as soon as possible and rushed out.

"What's going on!"

As soon as he opened the carriage door and rushed out, he saw that the axle was broken.

Seeing this scene, his face was like ashes.

Not only that, just after going down, the big horse pulling the cart in front of it suddenly let out a dripping sound, and then, it spewed out a foul smell, pulling thin manure all over the ground!

Even Lin Feng, a layman who didn't have much contact with horses, could see that the horse had been tampered with, and it might have been under croton laxatives or something.

Now, it's impossible to go.

Ignoring the stench everywhere, the third uncle was so weak that he almost knelt on the ground.

"Oh no, nephew, someone wants us dead."

Lin Feng got out of the car, not in a hurry, he looked at the axle - the axle was broken, as if someone had moved here in advance, telling it to break down on the road, and in connection with the context, this was someone who told them not to participate in the ancestor worship at a specific time.

Lin Feng glanced at the third uncle, took out his pocket watch, and opened it to take a look.

"What time does the ancestor worship start?"

Third uncle: "Are you stupid, there is still a quarter of an hour." ”

"A quarter of an hour, fifteen minutes, that is, seven o'clock punctually to start worshipping the ancestors."

Lin Feng looked up and saw that the sun was sinking in the west, and fifteen minutes later, it was almost dark.

Worship ancestors at night......

Neither Zhongyuan, nor Qingming, nor Chinese New Year's Eve.

Is this a sacrifice to the ancestors?

Lin Feng didn't speak, he carefully observed the third uncle, and found that the third uncle's panic was really not pretended, he was sweating all over his head, his heartbeat was unbalanced, Lin Feng said, "Let's find another carriage." ”

The third uncle struggled to get up: "Okay." ”

Calling the handlebar type to watch the horses here, looking for a place to live temporarily, the two of them panicked - mainly the third uncle was panicked, he was familiar with the road, and when he arrived at the carriage and horse shop next to him, he rented a carriage.

The shopkeeper sat on the handlebar and walked out of the city shouting.

It's just that the carriage is obviously a little too slow, and the third uncle's expression changed from anxious to desperate, and finally looked at the pocket watch, and he trembled.

Seeing this, Lin Feng determined that there was definitely something wrong with worshipping the ancestors this time, because the third uncle's fear had exceeded the limits of "being beaten", "marginalized", and "being reprimanded".

The Li family's ancestor worship, is there really a problem?

At this time, Lin Feng also took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, and suddenly said, "Third uncle, why don't we escape?" ”

One last temptation.

A bad idea within a bad idea.

Escape?

Because you were late for an ancestor worship, you ran away?

Who knew that when the third uncle heard this, he actually stumbled and said: "Run, run, where to escape?" ”

Lin Feng was full of nonsense: "I have some friends in the capital, who are famous high-meritorious Taoist priests called Zhang Zhuoen. ”

The third uncle's eyes lit up.

He agreed.

He actually agreed!
