Chapter 41: Wooden Music
Looking at the belongings that Su Xing took out, a hint of greed appeared in the villagers' eyes: "I'm telling you about the position of the high priest, can you give these to me?"
Su Xing immediately heard the implication of the other party's words: "Why, you can't just take me there?"
The villagers didn't say anything, they just stared at the property in Su Xing's hands.
Su Xing understood what he meant, so he handed over all the dried meat, noodles and the 'Spiritual Light Talisman' in his hand.
The villager who got the supplies explained: "If you continue walking deeper underground from here, you can see the high priest almost everywhere. You can find it easily..."
Are there ‘high priests’ everywhere?
Hearing this, Su Xing showed a clear look on his face: "The 'high priest' you are talking about is not a person, but a group of people?"
"this...."
The villager was silent for a long time and then replied: "There is indeed more than one high priest, but I don't know if they are human beings."
Su Xing continued: "Last question, are you unwilling to take me to the high priest because there is danger deep underground?"
The villager said: "It is dangerous. If you keep walking deep underground, you will hear a sound, and then you will be tortured by the sound and go completely crazy."
The 'sound' that the villagers are talking about probably refers to the pollution of the unspeakable creature's 'spirit'...
According to what the other party said, Su Xing quickly figured out the general situation underground:
First of all, there are a large number of 'high priests' operating deep underground, and they will continue to take away villagers who are approaching the end of their lifespan.
The purpose of the high priests taking away the villagers was suspected to be to cultivate 'blood mushrooms'.
Secondly, there is the sound of "spirits" deep in the ground. If you go deep into the ground, you will be polluted by "spirits".
Based on these two points alone, Su Xing was confident.
Deep underground, it is very likely that there are secrets related to the 'flesh mushroom' hidden, which can even solve the pollution caused by the 'spirit'.
But out of caution, Su Xing did not immediately go deeper after inquiring about the news. Instead, he asked the villagers: "How long will it take for the high priest you mentioned to come to your village again?"
After thinking for a moment, the villager replied: "Probably in a few days."
"Then if I stay in this village for a few more days, there should be no problem, right?"
Su Xing's storage bag contains a large number of 'spiritual light charms', which can be used to drive away shadow monsters. Even if he does not live in a mushroom house that lights up, he can still ensure his own life.
After hearing what Su Xing said, the villager took out a 'plank' from his arms.
He handed the 'plank' to Su Xing and explained: "Since you have given me so many things, I will give this to you to prevent you from being too bored in the village."
"What's this?"
Su Xing glanced at the 'wooden board' given to him by the villagers and saw that spiritual power was flowing on its surface, so he was surprised: "Is this a magic weapon?"
"A magic weapon? That's right."
After the villager responded, he took out another 'plank' from his hand.
He stared at the 'board' in his hand and kept pressing the surface of the board while walking towards the village: "This magic weapon is called the 'Happy Board'. It was sent to our village by the high priest. You can just press it with your hands."
I don’t know how this happy board is made.
Su Xing discovered that while the villager was pressing the happy board, his face showed an extremely happy and joyful expression.
He seems to be enjoying the process of pressing the happy board....
And it's not just that villager.
When Su Xing walked into the village, he found that almost all the villagers in the village were addicted to the act of pressing the happy board.
Obviously.
This happy board is one of the main ways for the villagers of Mushroom Village to pass the time.
The high priest will bring happy boards to the villagers, and the reason is not difficult to understand:
Because there are a large number of "crystal mushrooms" growing outside Mushroom Village, and the village is built near a river, the villagers do not need to worry about food and water sources.
Not only that.
Since the high priest comes back to the village every month to solve the light source problem, the villagers do not have to work hard all day long to buy the 'Aura of Spiritual Light' like they do in the Black City.
So in order to prevent the villagers of Mushroom Village from thinking about making trouble all day long without the pressure of survival, the Happy Board naturally came into being.
In this way, the villagers of Mushroom Village can provide nutrients for the 'flesh mushrooms' from generation to generation, and their descendants will be endless.
But, is this happy board really so magical...
With a trace of doubt, Su Xing also looked at the happy board in his hand, and tried to press it carefully.
Just like the villagers in Mushroom Village.
The moment he pressed the happy board, Su Xing felt a sense of joy and satisfaction in his heart, and this feeling immediately immersed him in it.
This happy board is really fun to press!
I really want to live in this mushroom village forever, even if I am taken to the depths of the earth by the high priest at the end of my life, I am willing!
After having this thought in his mind, Su Xing's fingers seemed to be out of control, wanting to continue pressing the happiness board and gain more happiness.
His eyes gradually became blurred, and he seemed to be possessed, staring at the happy board in his hand.
Although I don't know what the point of pressing the wooden board is, it seems pretty good to pass the time in this way for the rest of my life...
Just after Su Xing had this weird idea.
As a time traveler, he immediately recalled the time when he played computer games and mobile games crazily before time travel.
Do not know why.
When he thought about his previous life, where he played mobile games and watched short videos to pass the time almost every day, Su Xing suddenly felt that this happy board was nothing more than that!
This is just something I got tired of playing in my last life!
No matter how good the happiness board is, is it as attractive as becoming an immortal and pursuing eternal life?
Thinking like this, Su Xing's eyes gradually regained their clarity, and the expression on his face was no longer as frightened as before.
This board is good for killing time, but there is no need to indulge too much...
After putting the Happy Board into his storage bag, Su Xing randomly found an uninhabited mushroom house in the village that was not illuminated, affixed the 'spiritual light talisman' and lived in it.
Su Xing's idea is simple:
Not only are there the voices of 'spirits' in the depths of the earth, but there are also a large number of 'high priests' coming and going. If you go deep into it rashly, you may be in danger of your life.
The safest plan is to wait for the high priest to arrive in this mushroom village first, and then go to the depths of the ground after finding out his details...
Su Xing stayed in the mushroom house and practiced hard, and three days passed in a flash.
Although the pollution of his mental state by the 'spirit' was becoming more serious day by day.
But in general, Su Xing could barely bear it.
During the few days he spent practicing in the mushroom house, Su Xing also discovered that it was not just ordinary people in the village who were keen on happy boards.
A very small number of Qi-training monks who escaped from the Black City to the Mushroom Village also indulged in the behavior of pressing the Happy Board.
also.
In addition to pressing the happy board, social activities with the opposite sex in the village are also one of the main entertainment projects for the villagers.
Because of this, although the villagers in Mushroom Village are short-lived, the population has never declined.
What's even more exaggerated is that when the villagers were having social activities, many women even came to invite Su Xing to join the carnival.
But Su Xing politely refused because he was new here...
…
Today is Su Xing's fourth day in Mogu Village.
At noon.
Su Xing was sitting cross-legged in the mushroom house, silently running the exercises in his body, constantly trying to hit the bottleneck of the tenth level of Qi training, but suddenly he heard bursts of noise coming from outside the house.
Su Xing leaned toward the window and saw a strange man wearing a white robe and smeared with white powder on his face. He slowly walked into the Mushroom Village with the welcome of the villagers.
After the white-robed weirdo glanced at the villagers, he took out countless "Happy Boards" from the storage bag on his waist, as if to distribute them.
"Ouch┗|`o′|┛Ouch~~...."
Seeing this scene, the villagers immediately burst into cheers one after another.
