Jiang Xiaoli was unaware of this conversation between Li Hongying and You Yu. For the time being, Li Hongying didn't intend to make Jiang Xiaoli worry about these things.
There were no major explosions during the next month or so of vacation. It's just that there are always various "haunted" rumors in various regions, but these are just small troubles and there are no casualties. And the incident was resolved shortly after the rumors surfaced. According to the news from the celestial masters, the capable people and strangers under the command of the country have been busy recently and solved many incidents.
At the same time, the state has also promoted many lectures, including the handling of public opinion. The overall idea is to make the public firmly believe that "there are no ghosts in the world", "spiritual events are all hype", and so on.
And in the rest of the vacation, Jiang Xiaoli worked hard to draw the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, and since she had the bonus, she also worked hard to draw the Golden Body Talisman. I just don't know if it's because the face is too dark or the proficiency is too low. It is obviously equipped with the characteristics of a talisman master, and the success rate is basically 50%, but she draws five in one go, but none of them succeed. Annoying and hateful!
All in all, the success rate of the low-spec Sky Thunder Talisman is still very gratifying. Jiang Xiaoli distributed thirty tickets to Luo Mingjie and Wei Qianrong each. No matter what monsters and ghosts appear in the next dungeon, the Thunder Talisman will still work!
As for rest? Jiang Xiaoli has made money for Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, calling it the wages he got from hard work recently. This made Jiang's father and Jiang's mother very relieved, but they were slightly worried that she would enter some strange company by mistake. It stands to reason that Jiang Xiaoli should go back to her hometown for the New Year, but she didn't go back... Anyway, she will be forced to marry if she goes back. She sent blessings and red envelopes to relatives on WeChat. She only said that she needs to get acquainted with the newly found job this year, and she will not go back for the New Year for the time being.
Luo Mingjie didn't have any miscellaneous relatives. According to him, since his mother became seriously ill, he had no contact with those relatives. Wei Qianrong wants to celebrate the New Year in the old house, and by the way, she has to come out to socialize... At her current age, there are many families who are trying to marry her family for business. But Wei Qianrong only said that he is now devoted to cultivating the Tao, seeing through the world of mortals... Cough. The Wei family only thought that she was still going crazy, thinking that if Wei Qianrong could play for another two years, she wouldn't think about such nonsense anymore. As long as Wei Qianrong didn't shave her hair to become a nun, it would be fine.
Wei: Heavenly masters are not nuns!
This year's New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Xiaoli and Li Hongying ate at Luo Mingjie's house. Luo Mingjie's mother is gradually recovering and has been discharged from the hospital to recuperate. When Luo's mother saw Jiang Xiaoli and Li Hongying, her attitude was extremely enthusiastic, as if she was looking at her future daughter-in-law, but her eyes were entangled from time to time - she didn't know which one to choose. But fortunately, Luo Mingjie didn't know what Luo's mother was thinking, otherwise he would have been so frightened that his legs would weaken.
The New Year's Eve dinner was cooked by Luo Mingjie alone, and Luo's mother, Luo's younger brother, Jiang Xiaoli and Li Hongying were all sitting and waiting to eat. They watched the Spring Festival Gala together, counted down after the New Year's Eve dinner together, watched the dawn come, and wished each other a happy New Year.
As soon as midnight arrived, the phone kept vibrating. All kinds of group sending of blessings and red envelopes came one after another. Jiang Xiaoli took the mobile phone to reply to the blessings one by one, and sent blessings and red envelopes to his parents and relatives. Finally, he called Wei Qianrong to wish New Year. It's over.
She didn't need to visit relatives, so she was still locked in the house to draw amulets. A few days later, I watched the weather forecast predict that it would be sunny for two consecutive days. Jiang Xiaoli took Li Hongying to climb the mountain together, camping in the ice and snow with a tent shivering, and getting up early in the morning to watch the sunrise—the tent was covered with a layer of frost, and it was freezing hard. The sunrise on the top of the mountain in winter is also beautiful, but the wind is a bit cold.
Jiang Xiaoli: Romance is also romance, and making out in a tent is also special. It’s just that the bottle is very painful to fight, and the cold medicine is not very delicious, and the body is quite uncomfortable.
Li Hongying couldn't warm the bed, which was a great tragedy in winter.
In any case, the new year passed quickly, and the one-month rest period after the new year also ended soon. Jiang Xiaoli stuffed thirty Thunderbolt Talismans to Wei Qianrong and Luo Mingjie respectively on the eve of the game, and then cleaned the backpacks to prepare for the start of the game.
Oh, they also brought ordinary lighters, flashlights and other props this time, and I don't know if they will be used or not. Wei Qianrong didn't bring any messy antiques, but carried a lot of stones for formations. Although there is a drawing array pen, if the drawing array out of thin air does not have enough energy to support its operation, even if the formation is completed, it will have no effect. And those stones containing the aura of heaven and earth are the source of energy, so naturally you have to bring them with you. ... But when it comes to games, will it come in handy? Wei Qianrong didn't know either. It can only be said that there is no danger.
[Welcome back to the escape game~]
[Multiplayer detected, copy is being drawn... ]
[Di! Welcome to the team single-player escape dungeon: Fengyun in the ancient town~]
[Please actively explore the ancient town and break the shocking conspiracy~]
[Reminder: The initial difficulty of this dungeon: General

Difficulty of preventing plot failure: Hell level]
[There is no limit to the game, but player behavior can lead to changes in the difficulty of the game, players are requested to proceed with caution. ]
[Necessary task:? ? ? (unknown)]
[Note: There is no safety period limit]
"Team stand-alone... doesn't mean what I think?"
Stepping into the door of escape, Jiang Xiaoli and the others directly appeared at the gate of a town. There are quite a few fields outside the town, and the town has no tall walls. Just looking at the lively appearance of people coming and going in the streets and alleys, it looks like a remote town in ancient times.
… Yes, in ancient times.
Looking at the ancient costumes on these NPCs, Jiang Xiaoli had the illusion that they had traveled through time. Looking down, the thoughtful game also changed them into ancient costumes! It's just that Luo Mingjie's coarse clothes look like a servant's attire, but she and Wei Qianrong are indeed wearing exquisite and gorgeous brocade clothes...
Luo Mingjie: OK, I understand.
"There are no other players..." Wei Qianrong looked around, they didn't receive any identity role-playing, and the game naturally wouldn't disperse the players. And even if they were scattered... the game obviously allowed the players to meet each other.
This time the team's single player... Literally, there may be only three of them in the entire instance. And the three of them want to solve the conspiracy in the ancient town? According to the prompt of the game, it seems that even if the cracking fails, there is no problem, but the difficulty of the game has risen to the hell level... and the necessary task of the conspiracy (???) did not directly tell the players, but they want them to explore by themselves. Guess, if you think correctly, the game will also prompt you to complete the question mark.
Jiang Xiaoli moved her body, and Li Hongying appeared beside her. Li Hongying's Yin Qi surged and changed herself into clothes that fit the background, and then looked around Jiang Xiaoli, her expression was extremely excited, she couldn't help whispering to Jiang Xiaoli:
'I think...night...clothes...you like this...that...I...'
Jiang Xiaoli's face gradually turned red, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Li Hongying on the face! "... Let's hurry up and find out what the conspiracy is."
Wei Qian let them enter the ancient town together, and they soon discovered that the aborigines in the ancient town rejected them very much, and this rejection was tinged with fear.
Wei Qianrong grabbed an elder sister who was shopping for vegetables to ask about the situation in the ancient town, but the elder sister shook off her hand as if she had seen a ghost, and ran around in a panic. Wei Qianrong froze on the street, but after a few seconds, the entire street disappeared...
This ancient town is really weird.
Luo Mingjie, Jiang Xiaoli and the others also ran into walls one after another.
But Luo Mingjie suddenly thought of something, hugged his aunt on the street and burst into tears. It is said that his mother is from this ancient town. His father took him away from the ancient town and died of illness. He came here to find his mother.
The aunt's expression of fear subsided a little, "You... ah! Are you a little dog?... Poor, do you know that your mother last winter... oh."
Luo Mingjie's expression froze for a moment, and was quickly covered up by grief. He answered yes repeatedly, and then begged his aunt to take him to see his mother's tombstone, fulfilling his duty as a son.
As for the identities of Wei Qianrong and Jiang Xiaoli, Luo Mingjie also made up nonsense, saying that they were kind-hearted ladies whom he met on the road, and Gu Dao warmly helped each other, so he sent him here all the way. Just stay here for a few days and then leave.
"..." The aunt glanced at Luo Mingjie, and sighed, "Our town... has long been cursed, and those who can escape will never come back. How can it be so easy to leave?"
"Besides, every time a stranger enters the town, the girls in our town will mysteriously disappear... Alas, our town may have been punished by the heavens. If it weren't for the protection of Immortal Wen, our town would have disappeared long ago."
"Wen Xianren?" Wei Qianrong couldn't help asking. Although Wei Qianrong felt that it was unbelievable for the aunt to believe that Luo Mingjie was that little dog so easily, but she also thought that the initial dungeon was only of ordinary difficulty, so she felt normal. The game just sets a threshold, not making it difficult for them to obtain basic information.
From the aunt's narration, they finally learned the history of this ancient town.
Wen Xianren only came to the ancient town more than 20 years ago. At that time, he was a Taoist and a master, and he specialized in telling fortunes and solving some small problems for the people in the town. He was invited by the mayor of the town to live in the town for a long time. The mayor specially built a house for Wen Xianren outside the town, and Wen Xianren stayed.
Wen Xianren loves flowers and plants, so he planted many flowers and plants in the courtyard, and also planted many saplings in the courtyard by hand, and now they have grown into towering trees. He likes to tell fortunes for people, and he knows everything about face, palmistry, horoscopes, and gossip. He can even cure simple diseases, and the people in the town love him very much.
The curse of the ancient town begins with a wave of foreigners who suddenly appeared outside the ancient town a few years ago.
Wei Qianrong and Jiang Xiaoli looked at each other, and they both felt that the mysterious foreigner a few years ago was... the player.
And they, who have just experienced the different space, can't help but feel that this ancient town is just like the village in Peach Blossom Spring, a different space isolated from the world. Since it is a different space, it is naturally difficult for the residents in this different space to leave if they cannot find the correct passage.
The author has something to say: It seems that many readers did not understand the last chapter (before).
The concept of the game: the game is not a game in the conventional sense. It can be a "game" now, and it may also be called a "system" in the past. In ancient times, it was called "destiny", "destiny", and "God". Places are called "gods". It's a vague concept, but the name given to it now is called a game, and it's happy to call itself that.
The setting is because the "God" has changed due to the changes in people's thinking in modern development. It is still the rule of heaven and earth, upholding justice and the way of heaven, but it gave birth to a spiritual wisdom that should not have been born, and a human nature. But it doesn't mean that it is a "person", nor does it mean that it becomes a "person"! It's not AI, it's not a game, it's not intelligence, it's the illusory way of heaven, it's just changed a little under the influence of people's consciousness.
... I don't know if this explanation is clear.
[About the end]: I'm working hard on the plot! ! ! Speed up the pace of my mainline! ! ! rush! ! !
(But I am afraid it will be difficult to finish in a short time, I will try my best)
