Josh saw the elongating shadows on the ground, and the sound of breathing behind him grew heavier.

She glanced out the window, then suddenly got up and opened it.

The sun fluttered instantly.

"Ahh The old lady let out a scream and hid in the shadows.

Josh turned his head with a smile as if he hadn't heard it: "Grandma, the smell in your house is quite strong, why don't you open the window to breathe?" ”

The old lady shrank in the corner and sneered, a pair of cat's eyes became more and more vertical into a thin black line under the stimulation of the sun, "I'm too old to blow the wind, so I'd better close the window." ”

Josh nodded knowingly, "Yes." ”

She closed the window again, and the darkness in the corner of the room gradually moved closer to the middle, and even faintly tended to permeate.

The old lady had a hideous smile on her face: "Don't you like that paper man?" Do you want to go back and have a look? ”

Josh shook his head: "No need, it's not too early, I should go too." ”

The old lady blocked the door of the room: "It's rare for someone to come to see my wife, so it's better to ...... Just stay with me! ”

Josh smiled, "Okay, I just want to talk to you." ”

She was about to turn around and find a place to sit down, but she saw that the paper figure that had been placed in the corner just now was sticking behind her, almost completely against her back, and if she got closer, she was about to pounce on her.

She turned, just in time to meet the paper lantern's empty gaze.

The paper lantern is the appearance of a woman, wearing a red dress and her hair all coiled together, which is the dress of a moon bride.

She lifted the paper lantern, put it aside, and sat down in the position of the paper lantern: "Grandma, do you live alone?" What about your family? ”

The old lady didn't expect her to be so bold, and she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed strangely, revealing a mouthful of mutilated sharp black teeth, like the rodents of some kind of beast.

When the old man laughed, the skin on his face wrinkled together, and his mouth spat out a fishy smell, as if the skin could be ripped off her bones at any moment.

She pointed to the paper lantern beside Josh, "My family, isn't it here?" ”

Josh followed her gaze, only to see the paper lantern that she had just put next to her, and at some point stood beside her again, looking at her expressionlessly.

The other paper lanterns around them all straightened up at some point, and there was a faint tendency to move closer to this side.

Josh didn't notice it, and only looked at the old lady: "That's it, it's not a secret, grandma, in fact, I am the new candidate priestess in the village, and I came to see you today with the task of the saintess, and I want to ask, why do you only see women everywhere in the village, and there are no men?" ”

The old lady sneered: "Of course men can't come out and show their faces." Don't you know that? What did the Holy Maiden teach you? ”

When she spoke of the Holy Maiden, there was a clear trace of disgust in her eyes.

Josh narrowed his eyes, ignoring the paper lantern that continued to approach, and asked curiously, "Then our village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, why are there some fishing nets and houseboats everywhere?" ”

"Of course, it's for the worship of the sea god, you idiot!" The old lady rose up in anger, and finally showed a hideous face.

The paper lanterns around them burst into red light in their eyes, and they all pounced on Josh.

But say the other side.

Yu Ze was assigned to work in the ancestral hall, which was all miscellaneous work.

He is dressed in ethnic minority costumes, and there are many other male players and indigenous NPCs around him.

It is said to be an ancestral hall, but it is actually similar to a temple because there are also statues of gods enshrined in it.

When Yu Ze saw the mermaid on the statue for the first time, he had an unusually familiar feeling.

The mermaid had long hair and a tail, a cold face, and a trident in his hand, and the fish's tail was slightly swinging.

It is obviously a very divine face and a quiet and low-hanging expression, but it inexplicably gives people a hideous and terrifying feeling.

Especially the candle flame in the ancestral hall is flickering, and the dark ancestral hall can almost only be lit by candle flames, and the face of the god is flickering under the flickering candle flame, as if it will turn into a monster and devour people at any time.

Yu Ze patted the NPC next to him: "Aren't we a mountain village here?" How to feed a fish? ”

"Don't be disrespectful to Lord Poseidon!" The man's face was solemn: "Lord Seagod is the god who protects my clan!" How can you speak disrespectfully to the idols! No apologies yet! ”

Yu Ze bowed to the stone statue and apologized: "I'm sorry, Lord Seagod, forgive me." ”

It's just not sincere.

The man glared at him: "Your attitude is known to Lord Seagod, and when the sea tide rises every month, he will not bless you!" ”

"High tide? Every month? Yu Ze raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do we often have high tides here?" ”

The man looked at him strangely: "Why don't you even know this?" ”

Yu Ze lied casually: "I'm sorry, I'm mentally retarded, I have a bad memory, and I had a fever and a brain when I was a child." ”

The man's eyes instantly turned to sympathy: "No wonder you are so handsome and haven't married yet, I guessed that there must be no woman who likes you, right?" ”

The corners of Yu Ze's mouth twitched slightly, "Brother is really good eyesight." ”

The man patted him on the shoulder: "My name is Yuntian, and I have been working in the ancestral hall for a long time, so it's good to ask me if I don't understand anything." ”

"Okay brother." Yu Ze saw the stitches: "So what does this high tide mean?" Aren't we in the mountains? ”

Yun Tian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although we are surrounded by mountains on three sides, our ancestors have offended the gods and have been punished by the gods, and the village will be flooded by the sea once a month.

Later, it was the mermaid and the god of the sea who appeared, and he couldn't bear to suffer everyone, so he came forward to deter the tide and appeared once a month, our village.

But in recent decades, Lord Poseidon has fallen into a complete slumber, leaving only part of his divine power to suppress the tide.

In recent years, the tide has become more and more ferocious, and the divine power of the sea god has begun to gradually become uncontrollable.

The shaman said that the destined saint must be found in order to awaken the god of the sea and bless our village again. ”

【Ding! Congratulations on triggering the side quest, "Solving the Tide Hazards of the Moon Clan Village"]

Yu Ze nodded, and shared the side quest to the group and sent it to Josh.

It's no wonder that the houses in this village are all waterproof and moisture-proof houseboat structures.

He looked up at the mermaid statue and frowned slightly, always feeling indescribable.

Yun Tian touched his shoulder: "How old are you?" Can you cook? Are the kidneys good? How many bowls of rice can you eat in a day? ”

Yu Ze looked at him strangely: "What are you doing?" ”

Yun Tian smiled heartily: "It's nothing!" I also have a girl in my family, who is in her 30s, and she can do it! I made a lot of money doing business, and it became popular in the village! I think you're good, and I want to draw a string for the two of you. ”

Yu Ze looked at him funny: "So popular, and you still use your brother to pull the strings?" ”

Yun Tian half disgusted and half smiled: "Popular is popular, but she is also demanding, she wants to be mighty in bed, she has to look thin and have a good figure, and people have to be stupid, I don't think you are quite in line!" ”

Guess without a prize, who is this Poseidon ~~~
