I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 1828 The Rules of the Strange Island
Chen Lin stood in front of the statue.

This statue is about one foot tall and ranks among the top ten in size among all the statues.

The image is quite peculiar.

The eyes, nose and mouth are all very small, and the ears are very exaggerated, feeling like two palm-leaf fans, and have strange spots.

Also.

The statue's arms are also very long.

One of them held a cane, and the other hand was extended with the five fingers slightly bent upwards.

It seems to be holding something.

Chen Lin raised the silver bowl to the top of his palm, compared it briefly, and felt that the silver bowl and his palm were about the same size.

The other statues don't have hands this big.

But Chen Lin was still not in a hurry.

He continued to look at the remaining statues and would make a decision after he had seen them all.

Simultaneously.

Chen Lin also took out the amber.

This thing also points to this place, this thatched house, and it is likely to inspire a certain statue medium.

As soon as the amber was taken out, it began to flicker continuously.

No need to test.

A black statue above the shelf also glowed faintly at this moment.

It's clear that the two are related.

But Chen Lin looked doubtful.

The silver bowl and amber are both media for communicating with the statue, but they show completely different situations.

The silver bowl showed no reaction
Even if you approach all the statues one by one, there will be no change.

But Amber became abnormal when it was in the Sea of ​​Despair, and could guide the direction by the strength of its reaction.

What is the reason?
Chen Lin placed the amber in his hand in front of his eyes.

Observe carefully.

At this moment, the runes inside seemed to come alive, constantly wriggling and changing, as if they were about to break away from it.

The closer you get to the black statue, the stronger the reaction becomes, and it seems that there is something missing from the hat on the black statue's head.

About the same size as amber.

Watched for a while.

Chen Lin put the amber away temporarily.

He suppressed his restlessness and continued to check the remaining statues.

The monks in the Demon-Suppressing Temple have a big problem. Whether or not to use amber remains to be seen.

This time, no other discoveries were made until the end.

There were no familiar statues, nor any other anomalies.

Chen Lin touched his chin.

Think for a moment.

He did not touch any of the statues, but turned and left the hut.

Wandered around the valley.

Then return to the valley entrance and continue waiting and observing.

Night falls quickly.

The thatched hut was pushed open, and the hunchbacked old man picked up a hoe and went into the wheat field to weed.

Chen Lin showed up without hesitation.

While observing, walk into the valley.

"My father-in-law invited me!"

He came to the wheat field and spoke loudly to the old man.

The old man straightened up, turned his gaze and examined Chen Lin.

Then he bowed.

"So it's Master Chen Dan, are you here to collect your salary?"

Chen Lin's heart moved.

The other party was indeed able to communicate and could even call out his last name. It seemed that there were similar means of surveillance on this strange island.

Or maybe it's the statue.

It is reasonable for the statue of himself to appear here, as the person who manages this place, to know some basic information.

Also.

The other party mentioned salary.

Salary is equivalent to wages. Since there is salary, there must be people who pay it.

Who could it be?

Seeing that the old man was very kind, Chen Lin did not beat around the bush and just bowed and asked.

"I have just taken over Dan Pavilion, and I don't know much about many things on Qiren Island. May I know what your name is, father-in-law?"

"My surname is Qi, I don't have a name."

The old man answered immediately.

Then he continued, "Master Chen Dan, you can just call me Qi Tuozi. I have a partner, her name is Wang Cuilan. The two of us are responsible for taking care of the offering room and distributing the salary."

"But the only thing we can give out now is this golden wheat."

The old man pointed to the wheat field.

He then explained: "However, Qiren Island has not yet elected a new island owner. Without the island owner's order, we have no right to distribute other items."

Chen Lin's eyes flickered.

Even if there is no authority to distribute them, there are still treasures. Anything that can be recognized as a treasure here must be extraordinary.

But he immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking about the treasure.

Continue asking about the statue.

"Excuse me, old man, where did the thatched house, no, the statues in the house come from, and what are their uses?"

“A statue.”

The hunchbacked old man drew out a long note.

“Anyone who is qualified to be worshipped on Qiren Island will leave a statue in this worship hall and receive worship.”

"This is of great benefit."

"It's just that Qiren Island is now in decline, otherwise this kind of seat would not be easily obtained."

Chen Lin's face twitched.

The other party's implication seemed to be that he was able to qualify purely by chance.

And it does.

If the statues in the thatched hut correspond to characters like Kaguya, then he is not just lucky, he is simply lucky.

But then again.

The Qiren Island is now just a relic, and it is no longer of any use whether it is qualified for worship.

There might even be hidden dangers, and he doesn't need them at all.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin spoke immediately.

"I want to ask you something, old man. Can the status of the worshiper of this strange island be revoked at any time?"

"Release?"

The hunchbacked old man was stunned.

After a while, he spoke up: "No one has ever taken the initiative to cancel the status of a worshiper. Qiren Island is free and there are no restrictions on worshipers. Even if a mission is issued, it is all in the form of a transaction, so there is no need to cancel it. If you want to leave, just leave directly."

"Then can I take the statue of myself from the worship room?"

Chen Lin looked at the other party and said.

"can."

Chen Lin was surprised by the old man's answer.

See his reaction.

The old man smiled and said, "Master Chen, don't doubt it. The existence of Qiren Island is just to provide a place for those talented people to communicate. There is no restriction. The statues in the worship house are only used to contact the people themselves."

There was a pause.

He added: "In addition to communication, the statue also has the ability to send a clone, communicate tokens, accept offerings, etc. It has many functions and is a privilege that everyone wants to have, but the upper limit is only 108, and the quota is very precious."

After hearing the other party's answer, Chen Lin became a little hesitant.

Other permissions don't matter.

But the arrival of his clone is of great use to him.

With this permission, he can come here often and explore the ruins on the island.

"correct."

Chen Lin suddenly thought of Gu Siming and others.

He immediately asked, "Master Qi, I have four companions who came in with me. Can you sense their current location?"

"hehe."

The old man smiled. "Not everyone can enter the Strange Man Island. This island itself is a treasure that has the ability to select talents. Only those who have passed the island's selection can come to this island."

Chen Lin was stunned.

In this case, Gu Siming and the others were unable to come in and are still in the Sea of ​​Despair.

Then he doesn't have to worry.

With his worries gone, Chen Lin continued to ask, "Can I ask for information about the corresponding persons of the other statues in the house?"

"You can ask."

The old man's answer surprised Chen Lin again.

Immediately the old man said again: "But what I can answer is limited to the information left by the offering. I can't provide more."

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Lin nodded.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

After a brief pause, he asked, "I want to know the information about the fifth statue on the left in the first row. Can Mr. Qi tell me about it?"

"Let me think about it."

The old man was lost in memories.

It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he said, "I remember now, that was Miss Kaguya. She was best at the moonlight. The moon on the island was made by her. She was a beautiful woman with an unmatched temperament. Many of the priests on the island liked her."

It was Kaguya after all.

Chen Lin was a little excited. This might be a great opportunity to learn about Niu Niu's past life.

So I asked immediately.

"Mr. Qi, can you tell me more about Miss Kaguya? What is her level of cultivation? What magical powers are she good at? Also, I heard that she has a beloved man, but I wonder what his name is?"

However, the old man shook his head.

"Master Chen Dan's question is one that I cannot answer."

He immediately explained: "The information that Miss Kaguya left behind is her ability to excel in the Moonlight. It is with this ability that she obtained the seat of worship. As for other information, it is beyond the scope of the answer."

"If Master Chen wants to know, he can use the token to contact her through the statue."

Speaking of it.

The old man's face showed a lonely look.

He sighed and said, "We haven't had offerings from Qiren Island for countless years. I don't know if we can still get in touch with him."

Chen Lin was a little disappointed.

It seems unlikely to get useful information from the other party.

It cannot be forced.

Bribery and other means must not be used.

The other party, like the little beast, is a special existence and is not a normal life.

Definitely just play by the rules.

suddenly.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Mr. Qi, the moon here was refined by Miss Kaguya, then who refined the sun? And the stars in the sky, were they also refined?"

“They are all refined.”

The old man always answers every question.

He then said, "The stars were created by an astrology master. His surname is Yang, but his specific information is unknown. He did not build a residence here, so he did not leave any statues in the worship house."

"As for the sun..."

Confusion appeared in the old man's eyes.

He murmured, "I forgot."

"forgotten?"

Chen Lin's heart trembled.

This couple, although they are called servants of Qiren Island, are actually half managers.

After all, the offering house is the core of this place.

To make the other person forget, either make it inconspicuous or don’t allow the other person to remember it.

However, an existence that can refine the sun cannot be inconspicuous, which means it has the ability to avoid being remembered by the other party. It is very likely that it is an island owner-level existence.

There is another possibility.

This is also what Chen Lin is most worried about.

He is the man who refined the sun, the mysterious devil that Kaguya wants to resurrect!

even.

That devil is the founder of the Strange Man Island!
This person's information cannot be found anywhere. It is suspected that he used some powerful means to forcibly erase all traces of himself. If it is the other party, it fits the situation very well.

"When I get old, my memory becomes bad. I'm really sorry."

The old man apologized.

Then he bowed.

"Reporting to Master Chen, this is all my wife and I know. Moreover, since the decline of Qiren Island, it is not advisable to enter the worship house at night. If you want to receive the salary, I can give it to you now, but if you want to communicate with the worship statue, you need to come here during the day."

"Then I'll take my salary."

Chen Lin didn't say any more.

He was also very curious about how much the salary was and what it was used for.

"Ok."

The old man readily agreed.

Then he took off a bag from his waist and shook it towards the side of the wheat field. The grains on the wheat ears fell off one by one and were sucked into the pocket.

It's done in a breath.

He handed it to Chen Lin and said, "Each worshiper can receive one pound of golden wheat per year. Master Chen Dan has just obtained the status of a worshiper, so he can only receive one year's supply. Please don't blame me, Master Chen Dan."

"That's natural."

Chen Lin took the pocket in his hand.

took a look.

Inside are snow-white wheat grains, giving off a special aroma that clears the mind.

"I wonder what this golden wheat can do?"

Chen Lin looked at the old man.

If it can be paid out as salary, it cannot be ordinary spiritual wheat.

"It can assist in cultivation and can be made into food. Master Chen will know its various mystical powers after using it."

The old man did not elaborate.

"Then I'll accept it. Thank you, Mr. Qi."

Chen Lin didn't ask any more questions.

The old man waved his hand.

"This is what Master Chen Dan deserves. I hope that Master Chen Dan will come to the island more often in the future. It would be best if he could clean up the abandoned rice fields in the valley so that I can grow rice and Master Chen Dan will have rice to earn in the future."

"Is this a mission?"

Chen Nian looked into the valley in surprise.

“It can be considered as such.”

The old man replied with a smile.

He explained: "Originally, there was a wheat field and a rice field here. The wheat field absorbs sunlight and is called golden wheat. It has a huge benefit for Yang attribute practitioners and can also enhance the perception of the great way of heaven and earth."

"The rice fields absorb moonlight, and are called moonlight rice. They are very beneficial to practitioners who cultivate Yin attributes, and they help them comprehend their own Tao."

"Long-term consumption of both can harmonize yin and yang and connect the inside and outside. The benefits are beyond words."

The old man slowly explained the benefits of rice.

Chen Lin took a deep breath.

"hiss!"

This is not rice.

It's totally a divine object!

Especially the last point, harmonizing yin and yang, and communicating inside and outside.

What the other party meant by inside and outside are one's own way and the way of heaven and earth. The fusion of the two is a necessary condition for becoming the master!

There is something special about this strange island!

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Chen Lin looked into the valley.

“How do you need to clean it?”

He had decided to take on the task as long as it was not too troublesome.

"It's very simple."

Seeing that Chen Lin was interested, the old man immediately began to introduce himself enthusiastically.

"Rice is highly dependent on water sources. Because this river is polluted, it has never been reclaimed. Master Chen Dan only needs to clean up the sewage in the original rice fields and purify the water source. The rest can be left to the old servant."

Pause.

He said seriously, "As long as Master Chen helps restore the rice fields, you can get 100 kilograms of fluorescent rice, and an extra portion of rice every year as a reward. As long as Master Chen does not cancel his status as a worshiper, you can continue to receive it."

"I can guarantee that everything I say is in accordance with the rules of Qiren Island, and I will never break my promise!"

As if afraid that Chen Lin would not believe him, the old man gave a solemn guarantee.
