It is half a street away from the village chief’s courtyard.

Osmanthus Village Ancestral Hall.

Xu Shuo has already arrived here.

He listened to the mighty footsteps not far away, and the shouts were mixed with words such as "hit the iron pillar", and he suddenly felt that the scene seemed a bit strange.

The Wang family landlords have ruled Guihua Village for so long, but these villagers have never thought of beating the landlords to stand up and take charge.

Tie Zhu did nothing.

It actually aroused public resentment.

Xu Shuo shook his head and looked inside the ancestral hall.

While there was a commotion outside, the Wang family who were guarding the ancestral hall did not move at all, but most of the people who would be guarding here were close bloodline members of the Wang family.

The Guihua Village ancestral hall, which can accommodate three families, is very large. It is built in the form of a courtyard with four entrances. The first entrance is the tall and majestic ancestral gate, the second entrance is the ceremonial gate and the courtyard, the third entrance is the enjoyment hall, and the fourth entrance is the back hall.

It is worth mentioning that.

The courtyard of the ancestral hall is the only place in the entire Osmanthus Village where no osmanthus trees are planted.

The Wang family, on the other hand, carried the person nailed to the bed to pray in the hall.

They were mumbling words, and the voices of more than a dozen people together seemed to be chanting something simultaneously, and the low and fine sounds resounded throughout the entire ancestral hall.

Xu Shuo was sitting on the wall of the courtyard, tapping the cane in his hand on the wall tiles one after another, as if to match their prayers and play a special melody.

But in fact.

He listened carefully for a long time, but he didn't understand what those people were praying for.

Xu Shuo stopped wandering, opened the player's manual and rummaged through his item inventory.

As his deduction value increased, Xu Shuo also listened to the other party's opinions when communicating with Hong Rao and filled in some items in his own toolbar appropriately.

Anyway, there is no upper limit on the capacity of the inventory.

And as Xu Shuo's points accumulated more and more, he also began to expand.

Sure enough, compared to the props in the points column, the deductive value column is full of scrap metal. Even the furniture used to decorate personal spaces is placed in the deductive value column. No wonder the page count is 999.

However, the props in the deduction value column are not completely useless, except for those useless furniture, tea sets, cups and other decorative props.

There are still some practical things in the deductive value column.

Such as this sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Also like - a drug that is sure to fall if you smoke it.

Xu Shuo took out a handful of dozens of slender white incense sticks and lit them.

The soundless, odorless, and traceless green smoke drifted towards the Xiangtang. The smoke almost blended into the surrounding environment, making it difficult to detect even if you look closely.

The intoxicating power of dozens of incense sticks was powerful, but within a few seconds, the sound of falling to the ground could be heard one after another in the Xiangtang.

Xu Shuo jumped off the courtyard wall and walked into the Xiangtang openly.

He had already explored several other courtyards and found nothing strange and useful. Only Xiangtang looked the weirdest.

After all, it can bring life and death to human flesh and white bones.

The decoration of the Xiangtang is solemn and solemn. The bed that carries the person is placed next to it, and on the ground in front of the memorial tablet, lies the person who was tortured by the bride last night.

The pry bar nailed to the opponent's body has been pulled out, and the floor of Xiangtang is covered with blood. The man is like a rag doll that has been played to pieces, with no flesh on his body, and his injuries are hideous and terrifying.

But the man seemed to be breathing and his heartbeat was quite strong.

Xu Shuo stepped forward and carefully examined the man's condition, confirming that he could still survive even if his skin was peeled off by cramps.

The bride really doesn’t kill people.

Of course it's possible.

She wanted to kill but couldn't kill him completely.

After all, if she really didn't have murderous intentions, she wouldn't have been competing with the Wang family for decades, insisting on exterminating each other's bloodline.

Maybe there is something really restricting the bride in Guihua Village, and both parties are helpless.

After Xu Shuo looked at the entire Xiangtang layout, he raised his cane and tapped it lightly on the ground, causing invisible sound waves to spread quietly.

Boom——

Every object with a radius of fifty meters was dissected and analyzed, and the structure beneath it entered Xu Shuo's mind.

Xu Shuo suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then he raised his cane and struck the ground again.

Let me talk about it first.

The sound waves spread by the prop "Wuwang Zhi's Cane" during detection are actually just a way of describing it, and its real detection method still belongs to metaphysics.

In Xu Shuo's induction, the detection energy suddenly collapsed when it hit the tablet placed behind the worship table in the ancestral hall.

It was as if the waves had hit the rocks and spread out in all directions.

After he tried it a second time, he was sure that what he just felt was not an illusion.

So, Xu Shuo raised his cane again.

Bang bang bang bang bang!!

He tapped the ground several times very quickly, and the detection energy spread out in waves, superimposing each other like rippling ripples. However, the increasing energy still failed to penetrate the barrier.

However, the outline of the thing was roughly sketched.

Xu Shuo stopped tapping, put away his cane, and stepped forward.

The tablets enshrined in the Xiangtang are all the respected elders of Guihua Village, including the village chiefs of the Zhang family, the patriarchs of the Zhang family and the Wang family, etc. As for the tablets of the Li family, there are very few.

But there are only two tablets that can be placed on the altar table to enjoy the incense, and those two people are not ordinary people.

They are the land god and the land woman.

Most of the people worship these two people as gods of wealth, blessings and guardians. In some rural areas, they worship the Stove Lord, the Dragon Lord, and even Huang Pizi and the Fox Fairy. As for Guanyin Buddha, they are directly ranked at the bottom.

Different customs lead to different beliefs.

Xu Shuo looked at the two earth statues in the shrine. He didn't feel how majestic and sacred they were, but he did see a bit of naivety.

He directly reached out and grabbed the shrine.

"Wow~"

Xu Shuo shook the Earth God's shrine up and down, and vaguely heard the sound of some stones hitting it, which came from the statue.

Moreover, this statue is very light, the texture is not very good to the touch, and the surface is even a little faded.

It's still hollow inside.

Tofu statue.

Xu Shuo put down Tudigong and picked up Tudigong and shook it.

The feeling is the same.

I don't know if it was because of them, but Xu Shuo took the two shrines away from the offering table and placed them at the entrance of the Xiangtang.

Then he summoned his cane to detect.

The induction was still washed away at the tablet.

So it’s not the reason of the land god and land woman.

So, Xu Shuo looked at the row of memorial tablets of the Osmanthus Village villagers on the wooden frame and fell into deep thought.

Osmanthus Village should have been inherited for hundreds of years, so the tablets placed here are densely packed, at least hundreds of them.

There is no way he can try to go there one by one!

So let’s just burn it.

If there really is a treasure here that can be compared to the "Wand of the Innocent One", it shouldn't be burned, right?

Xu Shuo murmured in his heart, picked up the red candle inserted on the incense burner, and lit it.

But just after he lit the curtain in the Xiangtang, looking at the dancing fire in front of his eyes, he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly turned his head to stare at the huge incense burner.

The incense burner is a rectangular stone carving incense burner.

It also looks very old. It is one meter long, half a meter wide and half a meter high. Four cylindrical furnace feet support the base. The furnace body is carved with complicated patterns. There are handles on both sides of the furnace top for people to hold.

.

Xu Shuo looked at the chassis of the incense burner, and then looked at the incense ashes that were almost overflowing in the burner.

Folks rarely clean the incense burner used for worship, because what is left in it is not dust, but incense burned for the gods!

This causes the soot in the incense burner to pile up more and more, and is occasionally blown away by the wind to make room for it.

But today, Xu Shuo decided to help them clean up the incense burner!
