The eight stone statues are old and dilapidated and look nothing special.
However, Lin Mu found that he could not see through these eight ordinary stone statues.
While Lin Mu was looking at the eight stone statues, an old woman limped from the village.
"Huh?"
When she saw Lin Mu outside, she had a strange look on her face and said in a hoarse voice: "Little guy, night is coming, and the outside of this village is very dangerous. Come into the village quickly."
Lin Mu smiled bitterly.
No matter in the dark forest, dark realm, or in the ancient world, he is considered a big shot, but now he is called a little guy by this old woman.
But he didn't say anything.
Even though his strength is not what it used to be, he still won't be arrogant or careless.
He knows very well that there are still countless things in this world that can threaten him.
From the thick ink-like darkness, he truly sensed the crisis.
Secondly, he realized that he couldn't see through this old woman.
On the surface, the old woman was a mortal, without the slightest aura of a cultivator, but he always felt that the other party would bring a vague pressure to him.
Fortunately, he didn't feel any killing intent from the other party.
So since he had a peace of mind, he decided to listen to the old woman's advice.
He did not hesitate and followed the lame old woman into the village.
Halfway through, the crippled old woman gave him a thoughtful look: "Little guy, our Stone Statue Village is located in a remote place. How did you get here?"
Lin Mu didn't hide anything: "I was originally in the Western Mountains of the ancient world, but then I entered a space passage and was teleported here."
Hearing the sincerity of Lin Mu's words, the lame old woman's face softened and she said with a smile: "The little guy is a nice person."
The sky is getting dark.
The village was lit with candles.
Lin Mu glanced around and found that there were about a hundred households in the village.
As soon as he appeared, he seemed to be a new thing to the village. Every villager came over and watched with great interest.
This left Lin Mu speechless, feeling that he was being treated like a rare animal.
But he didn't think about it at this time. When villagers kept appearing, the shock in his heart became deeper and deeper.
Any one of these villagers who comes out is a strong person in the ancestral realm. The remaining ones are either not strong in the ancestral realm or cannot see their aura.
Lin Mu couldn't help but be shocked, where on earth had he come?
After walking for a while, he made another discovery.
The villagers in this village were either seriously injured or their bodies were mutilated.
Among them, the ones that attracted his attention the most were the few people who looked like ordinary people but could bring him tremendous pressure.
And it just so happened that these few people's bodies were mutilated. Although the other ancestors were seriously injured, their bodies were still intact.
After introduction, Lin Mu learned the identities of these disabled people.
The old crippled woman was a tailor and was known as the "Crippled Tailor" in the village.
The other disabled people are the hunchbacked village chief, the one-armed blacksmith, the blind scholar, the deaf musician, the mute watchman, the sore painter, the crazy martial artist, the long-haired butcher and the tongueless drunkard.
These people seem to have been cursed. Regardless of their occupation, they have lost the corresponding organ functions.
The village chief who is supposed to maintain his dignity is hunchbacked, the blacksmith who wants to make iron has lost his right arm, the scholar who wants to read is blind, the musician who wants to listen to music is deaf, the watchman who wants to watch is mute, the painter who loves beauty has a malignant sore on his face, etc.
wait.
It can be said that everyone here is unfortunate.

At the same time, these people also knew Lin Mu's name, and for some reason, they were very friendly towards him.
After getting to know the villagers, Cripple Tailor took Lin Mu to a dilapidated and deserted courtyard.
The yard is quite clean and there is no need to clean it.
"This courtyard was originally occupied by an alcoholic's apprentice. Unfortunately, the little guy was held by a vicious beast. He didn't have time to return to the village before dark, and he died outside."
The lame tailor sighed.
Lin Mu was stunned.
Thinking of the time when he was at the entrance of the village, the lame tailor mentioned the dark, and seemed to be very afraid of the outside world after dark.
"Senior, will anything unexpected happen after dark?"
He couldn't help but ask.
After hearing this, the lame tailor looked at the night outside in horror, and said in a panic: "Don't say it, don't say it. In short, you must not stay in the wilderness after dark."
The other party refused to tell Lin Mu and there was nothing he could do.
"You can live here."
The lame tailor changed the subject and said, "Old lady, I still have some clothes to cut, so I have to rush back."
After saying that, she left.
late at night.
Lin Mu was meditating in his room.
In the center of the village, in the courtyard of the hunchbacked village chief.
The disabled villagers Lin Mu had met were all gathered here.
Everyone was silent.
After a long time, the hunchbacked village chief broke the silence.
"Lame old lady, you brought this little guy in, so let me tell you your opinion first."
The hunchbacked village chief looked at the crippled tailor.
The eyes of other people were all focused on the lame tailor.
In fact, although the Stone Statue Village is remote, it is not that no outsiders have visited it over the years.
Many villagers in the village now joined later.
However, there is a condition for joining the Stone Statue Village, that is, the body must not be intact.
Today's Lin Mu is undoubtedly an exception.
"I believe you have also noticed that this little guy actually has injuries inside his body..."
The lame tailor muttered.
Before she finished speaking, the poisonous painter interrupted her and sneered: "Can this injury be called an injury? Even the guy with the most superficial injury in our village is more than ten times more serious than him, right?"
"I'm talking about lame man, you must have felt some sympathy when you saw the pretty boy, right?"
The blind scholar made a secret guess.
"Painter, blind man, I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you so anxious?"
The lame tailor said calmly: "In the past few years, there have been thousands if not ten thousand intact people outside this village. When have you ever seen me soften my heart?"
When everyone heard this, they fell silent.
These people look like they are old, weak, sick and disabled, but in fact they are all hard-hearted.
Over the years, many people have indeed come outside the Stone Statue Village and wanted to stay overnight in the village, but as long as they did not meet the conditions, they were rejected.
And these people who were rejected by them all died in the dark night without exception.
The lame tailor continued: "Painter, the severity of this little guy's injuries is secondary. The most important thing is, haven't you seen that his injuries were caused by the Qi treasure?"
"Eh? That seems to be the case."
After she mentioned it, the others also thought about it, and they couldn't help but have a look of surprise on their faces.
"Don't you think it's unusual for a little guy from the upper ancestral realm to be able to withstand the attack of a Qi treasure without being fatally injured?"
