"What is this place?"
Chen Lin looked at the scene in front of him, feeling a little confused.
This is a very dim space, the colors are very monotonous, and there is a strange atmosphere.
In front of him was a thatched hut and a yard, and he was standing in the yard.
After concentrating and sensing it, Chen Lin's face changed immediately. He remembered what this aura was. It was the same as the one emitted by the four scarecrows!
Really
He thought of a possibility.
"whee!"
Suddenly, a childish laugh was heard.
Chen Lin immediately took a defensive posture and slapped his storage bag to take out the Qinglong Sword, but he found that his hands were empty and he couldn't take anything out.
At this time, a little girl with two pigtails came out of the thatched hut and skipped to him.
Chen Lin's eyes narrowed.
This little girl is actually a scarecrow!
"Uncle, are you here to make a scarecrow too?"
The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at Chen Lin and said in a childish voice.
"No, I'm in the wrong place. I'm leaving now."
Chen Lin suppressed his fear, spoke calmly, and then slowly retreated out of the yard.
Although he didn't know what was going on or why he was here, the little scarecrow girl in front of him was too weird, and Chen Lin subconsciously didn't want to go along with her.
"But if you don't weave a scarecrow substitute, you will become a scarecrow yourself!"
The little girl's voice sounded again, and she seemed very confused about Chen Lin's choice.
Chen Lin's face changed when he heard this and he stopped.
After thinking for a while, he asked in a very kind tone: "Little friend, where is this place?"
"This is the scarecrow's house, uncle, don't you know? Why is it here?"
The little girl tilted her head, as if she didn't believe what Chen Lin said.
Chen Lin hurriedly said, "Uncle really took the wrong road. Do you know how to leave safely? Tell me and I'll give you some candy."
The little girl waved her hands hurriedly, "Niuniu, you can't eat candy, it will damage your teeth. And you can't leave, uncle. I can only weave a substitute for you, otherwise you will become a scarecrow like me."
"Do you know you are a scarecrow?"
Chen Lin was stunned and spoke tentatively.
The little girl turned around happily and said, "Of course, Niuniu is the guardian of the scarecrow house, so of course it has to be the scarecrow. Uncle, your body seems to have become pale, so you have to weave a substitute quickly."
After hearing what the other party said, Chen Lin immediately looked at his body. It had indeed become lighter, but he didn't even notice it!
At this point he already understood why the four Qigong practitioners turned into scarecrows. It was probably because they failed to complete the "substitutes" that the other party mentioned.
Needless to say, all this was caused by that sarcophagus. The four Qi-cultivating monks came into contact with the stone pillar and were contaminated by the aura on it, which led to such consequences.
The reason why he appeared here was because he used a monkey puppet to dismantle the scarecrow transformed by the Qigong cultivator, and was indirectly contaminated by his aura.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked: "What is a stand-in? How to weave it? Can Niuniu teach uncle?"
"Of course you can, as the guardian of the Scarecrow House, you have to serve the guests. But uncle, you only have ten chances, not even one more!"
The little girl seemed very happy. She jumped to the straw pile on one side of the yard and started weaving.
After a while, a scarecrow was woven.
"Uncle, did you see it clearly? Do you want me to weave it again? But the second time will be charged. You need to pay me a magic coin!"
"Magic Coin, what is that?" Chen Lin looked at the scarecrow in the little girl's hand and asked puzzledly.
"It's the magic coin!"
The little girl rummaged in her pocket and took out a gray object that looked like an ancient copper coin with a strange pattern on it.
Chen Lin took a look and shook his head, saying, "No need to demonstrate again. I don't have any magic coins to give you."
After saying that, he squatted down, picked up the straw, and started weaving it according to the little girl's method.
He didn't have magic coins, but he had natural abilities, and the little girl's weaving technique was not complicated. He basically remembered the method after watching it once, and he would be able to make it once in ten tries.
He immediately knew he was totally wrong.
This straw is actually alive!
The thing that looked like ordinary straw in the little girl's hand shook its head and tail after he picked it up, and he couldn't weave it normally at all.
Since the material is spiritual, the woven scarecrow naturally cannot be an ordinary thing. It must be at least at the level of a magical weapon. No wonder it is so lifelike.
Chen Lin activated the spell, wanting to use his magic power to bind the straw and make it behave itself, but he found that he could not mobilize his magic power at all.
But it was different from the incident with the Ghost Battleship. That time it was banned, but this time I didn't feel anything at all.
The only energy in the space was that strange aura. Not to mention mobilizing and utilizing it, he even felt an extreme repulsion to it.
After talking with the little girl and his own perception, Chen Lin has basically confirmed that he did not enter here in person, but it should be a projection or some other incomprehensible situation.
If the real body enters, even if there is no spiritual power to mobilize between heaven and earth, there is still a certain amount stored in the body, so it is impossible not to feel anything.
Then he tried his spiritual sense again, and his expression suddenly brightened with joy.
Although it is very weak, only about one tenth of the normal level, it can be used!
Sure enough, this place is not absolutely forbidden, but the result caused by the form of existence. In this case, this is not a simple projection.
Without time to think, Chen Lin used his spiritual sense on the straw, and the straw immediately became much more obedient. Unfortunately, his spiritual sense was less than one-tenth of the original strength, so the effect of suppression was limited.
But there was no other way, so he could only start weaving.
I had only woven a few straws when, because I didn't control it well, the direction of one straw was off. Then there was a puff, and the straw turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.
Chen Lin raised his eyebrows. He could understand the failure of refining, but even the materials could disappear. It seemed that not only was he a projection, but the scene here might not be real.
He glanced at the little girl again, but she was not looking at him. Instead, she ran to the straw swing on the other side of the yard.
Except for him, the entire yard, including the house and the wall, was made of straw.
It is called the Scarecrow House, and it really deserves its name.
Suppressing his anxiety, Chen Lin picked up the straw again and started weaving.
In fact, he didn't know whether his innate ability could work here, but now he had nothing else to rely on except this. If he failed to weave it out in the end, his fate would probably be the same as those of the Qi-cultivating monks.
He had just used his spiritual sense to investigate, but his spiritual sense was unable to leave the yard. He had no idea what was outside the yard or whether it existed.
However, if weaving really fails, you have to try to break out and see, instead of just sitting there and waiting for death.
"Uncle, you have to hurry up, your body is getting pale again!"
The little girl's voice came from the swing, interrupting Chen Lin's thoughts.
He immediately put away his chaotic emotions and began to weave carefully.
This time it was better than last time, but I only wove a tiny part before failing again.
He didn't hesitate and started again.
The fifth time.
This time, he had to weave a long section before the call to action failed. However, the invisible hand appeared again in the dark, and with a domineering press, a complete scarecrow appeared in front of Chen Lin.
The scarecrow squirmed for a while, and finally became exactly like him!
There was surprise in Chen Lin's eyes, but his heart was relieved a lot. He secretly admired that his natural ability was still reliable!
"Wow! Uncle, you are so amazing. You succeeded in knitting it in just five tries!"
The little girl had stood beside Chen Lin without him noticing, and was looking at the lifelike scarecrow and exclaiming in amazement.
"So can I leave now?"
Chen Lin didn't want to stay in this strange place any longer, so he asked immediately.
"Of course you can, but uncle, you still have five chances. It would be a shame to waste them. If you weave one more, you can get a magic coin as a reward!"
"Magic Coins? What are they good for?"
Chen Lin's heart moved and he asked.
The other party mentioned this again. Now that we have time, we can find out more about it.
The little girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she said, "It can be used for so many things. You can buy a lot of food and toys, beautiful things, and a pass to go to other places! Oh, and you can also buy a substitute. Uncle, if you have magic coins, you can buy it directly if the weaving is unsuccessful this time!"
As the little girl spoke, Chen Lin's eyes became more and more surprised.
This place doesn't seem to be a simple scene, it hides many secrets!
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll try it."
Anyway, my life is no longer in danger, so I just need to see what this magic coin is and whether I can bring it back to the real world.
Moreover, the other party was right next to them just now, and he might have seen how the innate ability directly turned the semi-finished product into a finished product.
Besides, this is not a real scene, and the other party is just a straw man, so there is no need to worry too much.
Seeing that his health was getting weaker and weaker, Chen Lin didn't waste any more time. He picked up the straw and started weaving.
As he became more proficient, his speed also increased. Before long, on the fifth time, a brand new scarecrow appeared on the ground.
Sure enough, the little girl didn't care about the changes caused by her innate ability at all. Instead, she smiled and clapped her hands and said, "Uncle is so awesome! Niuniu finally has a new scarecrow!"
She picked up the scarecrow excitedly, then took out a magic coin from her pocket and handed it to Chen Lin, saying, "Thank you, uncle. If you come again, I will definitely come to play with Niuniu!"
Chen Lin was about to speak when he felt a strong sense of rejection. Then everything in front of him shattered and disappeared like bubbles.
