The Era of the National Constellation: I Awaken the Aries Healing Technique

Chapter 364 The essence of human beings is...

Why did this Xiaoxi village suddenly disappear from the real world?

Why did this young man send a distress signal to himself?

What is the relationship between the cherry monsters that appeared nearby?
Also, the villagers in Xiaoxi Village are obviously living people, so why would they behave so abnormally?The little girl named Zhang Nannan should be the descendant of Senior Zhang Xu. Then, does this village have anything to do with his mysterious disappearance?
At this moment, Lin Fan's heart was full of confusion and mystery.

He followed the little girl and walked into a small uninhabited courtyard.

The little girl led him into the room, and said crisply: "Big Brother, Grandpa wants you to rest here first. At 10 o'clock in the evening, our village will hold the Divine Tree Festival."

The little girl looked at Lin Fan with clear eyes and said, "When the time comes, you must come to participate."

"Besides me, are there any other outsiders in the village?"

Lin Fan twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a slightly stiff smile.

"Well, yes, there is also a big brother and a big sister, they will also participate in the sacred tree festival."

The little girl nodded, and left Lin Fan in the room after she finished speaking, like a lark bouncing away from the small courtyard. There was a newcomer in the village, which made her look very happy.

However, Lin Fan couldn't be happier.

God Tree Festival?
What it is?
All of this may be known at night...

The small courtyard was very simple, and the only one was empty. Lin Fan carefully observed the room, and after confirming that there was no danger or abnormality around him, he sat on the bed and began to sort out what he had gained during this period of time.

At this time, in the world outside Xiaoxi Village, those students from various schools should still be clearing up the level 3 Sakura Demon.

I don't know if any other students will find this here.

In this hunt, Lin Fan has killed 29 cherry demons, harvested 29 fangs and 3 level 3 soul orbs.

But the quality of these 3 soul orbs is too bad, Lin Fan is not going to refine them, if we say, the realm of the three initial stages before the bronze needs to refine a large amount of holy yuan to lay the foundation for the road of knights.

Then, when reaching the Silver Realm, the main goal is to temper and purify the power of Saint Yuan, and lay a solid foundation for hitting the Gold Realm.

Therefore, with his current strength, at least a high-quality level 4 soul orb can meet his needs, and it is best to breed top-notch special effects and characteristic entries in it, and the quality of the power of the holy element is also very important.

Otherwise, no matter how many low-level soul orbs are refined, the foundation cannot be stabilized.

Lin Fan stayed in the courtyard all afternoon.

Quietly waiting for the start of the sacred tree festival.

The twilight gradually closed, and the time passed by every minute and every second. At 10 o'clock in the evening, the whole Xiaoxi Village echoed with a sound similar to the ringing of a bell.

In the vast night sky, not a single star could be seen, only a pale and huge moon hanging above the night.

The Divine Tree Festival has finally arrived...

However, although the villages by the lake shrouded in the cold moonlight were decorated with lights and festoons, they could not feel the festive lively atmosphere. They were silent, like a cold hell filled with thick mist.

Not long after, strange changes gradually took place in the village.

It sounded like a bell, ringing again and again.

In such a sound, the whole Xiaoxi Village seemed to be decayed and withered. On the streets, houses, and cherry blossom trees on the roadside, layers of black debris began to peel off, like paper left after burning. The ashes floated into the air one by one, densely packed and sprinkled one after another, covering the entire village in it.

And with the peeling off of those black fragments, the original Xiaoxi Village has revealed its original face.

The houses are decayed and dilapidated, the roads are overgrown with weeds, and even the blooming cherry trees have become bare.

Like a rotting corpse, there is a stench...

In the small courtyard, Lin Fan watched the scene before him, and a chill ran down his spine.

"No matter how weird this village is, as long as you go to Shenshu Festival, everything will be solved."

Lin Fan said softly, pushed open the already dilapidated door, and walked outside.

However, just as he walked out of the small courtyard, he saw a few villagers standing motionless in the ashes flying in the sky under the gate on the opposite side of the street, staring at Lin Fan's figure dully like ghosts in hell. .

"Outsider, where are you going?" A middle-aged man said, the words in his mouth were like the sound of mechanical friction.

Lin Fan remained calm and said calmly, "I'm going to participate in the Divine Tree Festival."

Middle-aged man: "Sacred Tree Festival, it hasn't started yet."

Lin Fan was slightly taken aback, and said, "Didn't it mean 10 o'clock tonight? The village chief invited me to come over at this time."

Middle-aged man: "It's today, but not now..."

Lin Fan: "???"

Middle-aged man: "Foreign guests, please go back and rest. Tonight at 10 o'clock in the evening, we will invite you to participate in the sacred tree festival."

What do you mean?
Made, a group of psychopaths.

It seems that these villagers are here to spy on him. Lin Fan saw them rigidly blocking the outside of the small courtyard like robots. After thinking about it, he finally gave up the idea of ​​breaking in. In this evil village, everything is not right. Clearly, it is better to be safe.

In desperation, Lin Fan had no choice but to turn around and return to the room.

However, although he couldn't go out, it didn't mean he couldn't check the surrounding situation.

True Eyes!

Lin Fan looked at the only three Eyes of Reality left in the star chart, gritted his teeth, took out one, and stuck it on the ground.

Afterwards, a white detection halo spread out, centering on the small courtyard, the terrain within 1000 meters of Xiaoxi Village was presented in front of Lin Fan in the form of 3D projection.

Through the vision of the real eye, Lin Fan saw that there were red images representing the villagers one by one, coming out from all directions of Xiaoxi Village, converging into a huge torrent towards the lake shore to the west of the village, and disappearing in groups in the real eye. outside the detection range.

Among them, just outside his small courtyard, those few villagers still stood there motionless.

"That direction should be where the sacred tree grows."

"It seems that the Divine Tree Festival has indeed begun, but why do those villagers say that?"

It's today, but not now...

What exactly does this mean...

The next day, dawn.

When the sky was bright, Xiaoxi Village returned to its original tranquil and peaceful scene.

On the shore of the sparkling lake, the cherry trees in the village are blooming as gorgeously as before. People are busy coming and going in the village, hanging lanterns on the trees one after another, which looks like a lively festival atmosphere.

On the street, from time to time there will be a group of young children laughing and chasing, running carefree among the falling cherry blossoms.

Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

It seemed that everything that happened last night was just a nightmare...

Lin Fan didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about it, it's no wonder he was able to sleep in such a weird environment.

After pushing open the door, Lin Fan looked at the harmonious and beautiful Xiaoxi Village in front of him, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart. He decided that he could not wait any longer today and should take the initiative to investigate the situation here.

Just after he walked out of the small courtyard, Lin Fan's footsteps paused slightly.

In front of him, the old village chief and the little girl slowly appeared, walking towards him with a smile on their faces.

The old man still had the same kind smile on his face as yesterday, and said to Lin Fan, "It's a pleasure to meet you, a foreign guest."

Lin Fan looked at him quietly, and said politely, "How happy are you?"

elder:"……"

The little girl giggled cheerfully, blinked her clear and innocent eyes, and said, "Big Brother, today is the Divine Tree Festival. Grandpa and I specially invited you to join us."

Lin Fan: ? ? ?
Didn't the Holy Tree Festival pass last night?

Before Lin Fan could ask, the old man smiled and said, "Outside guest, it seems that you are very tired. Take a rest in the village today. The sacred tree festival will officially start at 10 o'clock in the evening."

After speaking, the old man turned and left with the little girl.

Lin Fan looked at their backs, his pupils shrank slightly, flickering on and off.

In the morning, the simple and kind villagers brought some food to Lin Fan, but Lin Fan definitely didn't dare to eat it. He took advantage of the villagers' meal time and walked towards the lake, wanting to see See what the so-called sacred tree is.

However, just as he approached the entrance of the village, a group of villagers suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"The place where the sacred tree grows is the sacred place of our village. No one can approach it except for the sacred tree festival."

Looking at the obviously cold eyes of the villagers in front of him, Lin Fan didn't speak, and went back to the small courtyard silently.

On the way back, Lin Fan met another person who was obviously dressed as a foreigner. This was a girl in her twenties, dressed in a fashionable and beautiful way.

However, the girl's delicate face was full of despair and sluggishness, walking stiffly on the street like a walking corpse that had lost its soul.

The moment she saw Lin Fan, a light seemed to flash in the girl's eyes, but it quickly went out again.

In the end, the emotion in the girl's eyes turned into a trace of pity and helplessness, and she brushed past Lin Fan without saying a word.

"This girl is another foreign guest that Zhang Nannan mentioned."

"Where's the young man I met yesterday..."

Confused, Lin Fan returned to the small courtyard. He originally wanted to summon Little Sky Fox to investigate, but he could faintly feel that there was an unknown force in this village... It seemed that the dark There is a pair of eyes in it, silently watching him.

In order not to startle the snake, Lin Fan did not act rashly in the end.

In this way, the time of day passed quickly.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, as the weird sound rang, the scene that happened yesterday was staged again.

This time, Lin Fan still couldn't get out of the yard,

"Sacred Tree Festival is today, but not now..."

With the same words, the same villagers, Lin Fan was stopped again.

Another day passed.

In Xiaoxi Village, as usual, it was shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

Lin Fan stayed up all night again, and then gave himself a sip of milk, trying to cheer himself up.

Outside the small courtyard, the old man and the little girl came forward one after the other, and said to Lin Fan with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you, a foreign guest."

Lin Fan chuckled, "You're too happy."

elder:"……"

"Big Brother, today is the Divine Tree Festival. Grandpa and I specially invited you to join us." The little girl looked very happy, and chirped like a little sparrow, "At 10 o'clock in the evening, Grandpa and I I'll come and call you."

How familiar are these words...

Hehe, the essence of human beings is indeed a repeater.

And why does your village celebrate festivals every day?Nothing serious, right?

It's been the third day.

Ever since he came to Xiaoxi Village, Lin Fan felt that he was repeating the same day every day, as if he had fallen into some kind of reincarnation.

After these two days of observation, Lin Fan also vaguely understood the secret of Xiaoxi Village's disappearance. If there is no accident, it should be related to the sacred tree.The villagers here seem to have undergone some changes because of the sacred tree, causing their words and deeds to be obviously different from normal humans.

And that sacred tree should have been planted by Senior Zhang Xu himself.

Here comes the question, why did the senior do this?

The old man and the little girl are both his relatives...

Time, it's 10 o'clock in the evening again.

In the distant night sky, the pale moon looked even bigger than the previous two days, covering almost half of the sky.

The mysterious sound rang again and again in the village.

The ashes all over the sky peeled off from the village one by one, and like black butterflies, they floated into the air in groups and gathered into a gloomy black cloud.

The whole village has lost its color and turned into a rotten ghost land with a gray background.

"The last night, today we must find out the truth about the Divine Tree Festival."

Lin Fan knew that he couldn't wait any longer. If this continued, he might be trapped in Xiaoxi Village for the rest of his life, becoming an empty puppet just like the villagers here.

Just as Lin Fan was about to put on the oracle cloak and act secretly, there was a knock on the door outside the yard, echoing very clearly in the dead night.

"Big Brother, the Divine Tree Festival has started, Grandpa asked me to pick you up."

Outside the door, the little girl's crisp voice came slowly.

Lin Fan's heart tightened, and then he calmed down his inner uneasiness, and walked out of the room.

"Big Brother, the Divine Tree Festival has started, Grandpa asked me to pick you up."

At this moment, the little girl's face seemed to lose color just like the village, her expression became extremely dull, her eyes were empty, and she mechanically repeated what she just said.

Lin Fan nodded, followed the little girl, and walked out of the village.

Not long after, the two of them walked out of Xiaoxi Village in silence along the road overgrown with wild grass, among the scattered ashes, and came to the place where the sacred tree festival was.
