Yinhua took out a small cloth bag from his pocket.

Carefully dump the contents of the small cloth bag on the table, it is a bright red multi-angular crystal nucleus.

The bright red is reminiscent of jumping flames, and there are only a few strands of impurities in it, which is more pure than the first-order yellow zombie crystal nucleus, and looks like a brightly colored gemstone.

Almost as soon as it was taken out, the eyes of the four people couldn't help but firmly nailed to this red crystal nucleus as big as a quail egg, and their eyes couldn't help showing desire.

Then, the red crystal nucleus was quickly covered by the small cloth bag.

It was only when Cheng Mengyun broke free from the sudden sense of hunger that she "hissed": "Fuck, I almost couldn't help but want to eat it just now."

Zhao Qinghan's bright red lips bit his finger, and the bright red crystal nucleus was like Pandora's box, carrying a fatal attraction: "It is indeed a crystal nucleus that I have never seen before. The first-order zombie crystal nucleus is yellow, and the second-order zombie nucleus is yellow. The super zombie crystal nucleus is orange, this one will not be..."

She made a "three" uncertainly.

"That giant python is a third-tier?" Cheng Mengyun was a little unbelievable, "Facing a third-tier zombie, we can still come back alive, and even kill it? We are lucky enough to be max."

Cheng Mengyun recalled that the giant python has a giant body that is completely different from ordinary snakes, and it also has the ability to strengthen the body and the ability to control the mind with words to seduce people's hearts. It really seems to be a third-order zombie?

"Why do I think that snake isn't too strong...?" Cheng Mengyun said weakly, it's no wonder she thought so. When fighting second-tier zombies, sometimes it takes a lot of lives. It is the existence of higher-level zombies, and the casualty rate should not be what it is now. But if that giant python is only at the second level, it can't explain the condition of the crystal nucleus at all, because the attraction brought by the bright red crystal nucleus far exceeds that of the second-order orange crystal nucleus.

"That snake should have been seriously injured before," Zhao Qinghan wiped his hands slowly, "When it appeared, it was covered with old and new injuries all over its body, and when Qiaoqiao and I were dealing with the snake's head yesterday, we found it All the teeth are gone."

"The tooth fell out, or was it pulled out by someone?" Cheng Mengyun analyzed.

"Sometimes a bad snake wants to get out, and I'll beat it back into the well." Qiaoqiao sat on a wooden chair beside her. Because of her short stature, her legs didn't touch the ground, but dangled in the air.

Very good, some of the new wounds on the big snake can be explained, but the old wounds are probably caused by other things, or it may be the researchers. The existence of this giant python is indeed a good research material, Cheng Mengyun Think in your mind.

"That's why the Zombie Snake was seriously injured before, so we were able to successfully kill it yesterday." Yinhua concluded.

"Then what about this third-order crystal nucleus?" Cheng Mengyun nodded the cloth bag.

She had already confirmed that the giant python should be a third-order zombie, but they missed it because it was in a seriously injured form.

"Let's keep it for now. There are four of us, so it's not easy to divide." Zhao Qinghan expressed his attitude directly.

"I think it's ok. Put it away quickly. I want to eat it just looking at it." The cloth bag was not covered properly, and a small part of the bright red crystal nucleus leaked out. It was just that small part that made Cheng Mengyun grow out of his heart. An unquenchable hunger.

She couldn't help but feel very good about the idea of staying in Longevity Village. Now the second-tier zombies in the city outside are almost crawling all over the place. There was a wave of zombies before, and they went to the sparsely populated places, avoiding a lot of face-to-face encounters with zombies.battle.

The third-order bright red crystal nucleus was put into the small cloth bag, and it was still kept by Yinhua.

All four breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, start working on the cellar discovered last night.

Cheng Mengyun was rushing to wash and eat just now, so he didn't pay much attention to the mechanism that was pressed on the cellar door yesterday. At this moment, those heavy objects and porcelain bowls are all in place, and there should be no accidents in the cellar.

The four of them decided to move Yinhua and Qiaoqiao to stay on top of the cellar door, while Cheng Mengyun, who had the ability of immortality, and Zhao Qinghan, who had high attack power, went down to explore the way.

Zhao Qinghan took the flashlight that could illuminate the whole village. Ever since Qiaoqiao was picked up in the village, this powerful flashlight has been kept well, so it still has electricity at this moment.

Cheng Mengyun looked at the cellar that was instantly illuminated. The stairs next to the wall without guardrails led to a basement. It seemed that it had not been used for a long time, and there was a thick layer of dust on the stairs.

"Let's go." Cheng Mengyun took the lead and stepped on the stairs carefully with a stick in his hand.

The smell of damp soil rushed towards his face, Cheng Mengyun noticed murals carved on the wall from the corner of his eyes, the traces on the wall have a long history, and some of them have been blurred with the years.

She didn't look carefully, and now the important thing is to explore the inside of the cellar first.

The cellar seemed to be deep, and Cheng Mengyun carefully walked up the steep stairs. However, when Zhao Qinghan behind him shone a strong flashlight into the cellar, Cheng Mengyun stood there and didn't move for a long time.

In the spacious basement, a huge snake-shaped statue stands in the center of the cellar. The eyes with vertical pupils stared at the two uninvited guests as if they were divine.

In front of the statue of the serpent, there are rows of tablets, which are arranged from the top to the most, standing like a triangle, like a silent tomb. There is a carved incense burner in front of each tablet, and three incense sticks are offered in it.

Opening her eyes wide, Cheng Mengyun and the statue's eyes looked at each other. It was obviously just a dead thing, but she could see killing and bloodthirsty from the hideous snake's face.

The eyes of the statue were no different from the red vertical eyes she saw yesterday when she looked at the zombie snake.

"Did you make a statue for that zombie snake?" Cheng Mengyun murmured.

Zhao Qinghan, who was behind him, let out a short exclamation, even shaking his hand with the flashlight.

Cheng Mengyun clenched the swing stick and walked down the stairs, startling a cloud of dust on the ground. It seemed that no one had visited this place for a long time.

She first carefully searched the cellar, and the closer she got to the giant snake statue, she found that even the scales were carved to life.

Apart from the statue and a tablet that was almost as high as the ceiling, there was nothing else inside the cellar.

"Why is the ancestral hall here?" Zhao Qinghan walked in, frowning deeply.

Seeing that Cheng Mengyun looked over in puzzlement, Zhao Qinghan took the initiative to explain: "Generally, in such villages, especially big families with the same surname, they will build ancestral halls to worship their ancestors. Every year, I am called by my father back to my hometown to worship ancestors. So know a little bit about this.

"Ancestral halls are used to worship ancestors, bless future generations, and pray for children. Therefore, we usually choose a place with vitality that is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and where living water flows. But you see, the basement does not see the sun all the year round, which is called "nothing" in feng shui. Along with the yang qi, the air here is still humid and the temperature is low, which means that the yin qi is full of yin, and the surrounding walls are blocked by the walls, blocking the wealth and vigor, this is the death place that makes people die." Zhao Qinghan said, she said I can't imagine why the ancestral hall should be built in such a place.

"Every household in this village hangs white lanterns, and there are white letters of blessing pasted on the door. They are keen on planting old locust trees. It is quite normal for ancestral halls to be built here." Cheng Mengyun is quite open-minded. "The customs here are all in line with normal Fengshui.Come the other way."

"Yes." Zhao Qinghan was infected by the other party's optimistic words, and the cold sweat on his forehead stopped.

Cheng Mengyun raised his head and began to look at the tablets one by one. At a glance, all the names on the tablets had the surname "Shou", which should be an ancestral hall of the "Shou" family.

Relying on her vision enhanced by her status as a power user, she began to observe each tablet. The tablets are made of wood, and each piece is exquisitely carved, but they are all covered with a layer of dust. The date of birth and the person's name are engraved on it.

The top row only enshrined a spiritual tablet, which seemed to be a highly respected ancestor, but when Cheng Mengyun saw the engraved words on the spiritual tablet, she felt a chill spread.

"The god of longevity of the snake fairy in heaven and earth."

Zhao Qinghan tutted a few times: "Only the top tablet is not a person's name."

"It's weird, Sister Zhao, look at everyone's lifespan." Cheng Mengyun clenched his stick tightly, and carefully compared his age without looking away.

The earliest recorded time on the tablet can be traced back to hundreds of years ago. The people of this "Shou" family do not seem to be prosperous. The birth rate and death rate are basically the same, and the premature death rate is very high.

No, why didn't those kids live past the age of 4! Cheng Mengyun opened his eyes wide, his heart beating suddenly and violently.

All the children who died prematurely on the tablet died in the fourth year after birth, as if there was an insurmountable threshold in that year.

"Many people have lived past the age of 150..." Zhao Qinghan muttered.

Cheng Mengyun also noticed that, except for some children who died prematurely and other irregular ages, all the remaining old people lived past the threshold of 150 years old.

You must know that before the end of the world, the longest-lived person in the outside world was just over 120 years old!

These "Shou" family members seem to have really realized the village name of this village:

longevity.

The line of sight came to the bottom row. Compared with the sparse arrangement above, the tablets below were crowded together, and the carving technique was relatively rough. However, who had repeatedly wiped them before, the dust accumulated was less than that of the spiritual tablets above.

Cheng Mengyun scanned the contents of the card as always, but she found a strange phenomenon, and she repeatedly inspected it several times in disbelief.

In the bottom row, everyone on the tablet died 6 years ago!

From old people over 100 years old to young children as young as a few years old, men, women and children are all spared.

There is only one tablet that is different, there is no engraved name on it, and the word "evil seed" is used instead.

Only the date of birth, and the time of death is blank.

It seems that someone set up a tablet for himself when he was alive.
