Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

"Little guy, do you think the mountain god really wants to marry my sister?"

While walking on the road, Li Erhu suddenly raised his head and asked thoughtfully.

"..."

Lin Zhongtian, who was standing on his shoulder, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This guy was very lively when he met the wild beast in the mountains.

Why do you become so stupid when you see people outside the mountain, and you are even willing to believe this kind of rhetoric?

Lin Zhongtian was too lazy to pay attention to Li Erhu, and looked around with his big black eyes, sizing up the situation in the village.

The reason why he followed Li Erhu down the mountain was for two main purposes. One was to see the situation of human beings in this world, and the other was to find an opportunity to see if he could steal a corpse from this village.

In his opinion, since humans appear in this world, it must be a world dominated by humans.

Walking in the human world in the body of an animal is still somewhat inconvenient.

If possible, Lin Zhongtian would definitely change into a human body.

But he didn't want to kill someone for this, so a fresh corpse became his best option.

It's a pity that along the way, no villager was doing nothing.

This can't help but make Lin Zhongtian feel a little disappointed.

Approaching the door, Lin Zhongtian suddenly jumped off Li Erhu's shoulders.

Li Erhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up after he realized what he was doing.

"Hey, where are you going?!"

Li Erhu shouted while chasing the footsteps of the little squirrel.

But in just a few seconds, the little squirrel completely disappeared from his sight.

Li Erhu was a little panicked and looked around quickly, but he couldn't find the little squirrel after searching for a long time. He had no choice but to give up and went home dejectedly.

Lin Zhongtian himself actually didn't care about Li Erhu's psychological activities and his subsequent encounters.

He had already used that sixty-pound pig leg to repay the other person's favor for bringing him into the world.

As for whether this pig leg will be deceived by others, that is Li Erhu's own destiny.

Of course, if he could be replaced with a human body earlier, he wouldn't mind taking action himself to punish the Temple Zhu who deceived and defrauded him in the name of the mountain god.

During this period of time, Lin Zhongtian has visited the entire village and has a general understanding of the situation in Qiugang Village.

This is an almost isolated village. The entire mountain village is located in a valley, with towering mountains on both sides. There are only two narrow mountain roads leading to the world outside the valley.

This has also made communication between Qiugang Village and the outside world extremely difficult.

The vast majority of villagers have lived here all their lives and have never stepped out of the valley.

But in such a village, there is actually a private school that specializes in teaching young children how to read.

Lin Zhongtian quietly sneaked in to take a look and found that although the books in the private school were old, they were very well preserved. At first glance, they were the result of being treated with great care as treasures.

At first, Lin Zhongtian was surprised by this.

But looking back on Li Erhu's words and deeds, I feel that it is reasonable.

Although this guy is a hunter looking for food in the mountains, his words and deeds are not vulgar.

Now that I think about it, I must have studied in this private school.

I don't know if it was because of the isolation from the world, but along the way, Lin Zhongtian found that the people in this village were very honest, the neighbors had very good relations, and most of the villagers had smiles on their faces.

This atmosphere reminded Lin Zhongtian of the Peach Blossom Spring written by Tao Yuanming.

No wonder Fu Youzhi deceived Li Erhu so easily.

After visiting the village, Lin Zhongtian came to the field ridge outside the village.

The area of ​​arable land in this valley is not large, but it is more than enough to support more than 30 families in the village. Coupled with the rich animal and plant resources in the mountains and forests on both sides, as long as there is no major natural disaster, there will be no worries about food and clothing. .

This is probably one of the reasons why Qiugang Village has good neighbor relations.

Running on the field on the village platform, Lin Zhongtian turned on his eye-like perspective and carefully explored the surrounding situation.

In his opinion, in order to save the small cultivated land area in the valley, a village like this that has been settled in the valley for a long time should place the cemetery of the predecessors far away from the village, and it is very likely that Just outside the village in the mountains and forests.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lin Zhongtian to find a cemetery in a certain mountain forest.

There are a total of five tombstones in the cemetery. Judging from the names on the tombstones, it should be the family cemetery of a family surnamed Liu.

Lin Zhongtian opened his Baiyan-like perspective to investigate, and found that there was no usable corpse in the five tombs.

The first three tombs are the oldest. The coffins buried deep in the ground have long since decayed, and the corpses inside have long been eaten away by insects and ants, leaving only a few tattered shrouds and decayed bones.

The condition of the next two tombs is better, but not much better.

Even the most complete preserved corpse is already a mummy now.

Naturally, such a corpse cannot be used, and even if it is repaired with gray mist, it may not be repairable.

There was no other way, so Lin Zhongtian had to give up this goal and start looking for the next cemetery.

This search lasted seven or eight hours, starting from the afternoon of the first day to the morning of the next day.

Almost all the cemeteries encountered during this period were buried together in the form of clans.

This saved Lin Zhongtian a lot of energy.

But unfortunately, after a whole night of hard work, Lin Zhongtian only proved one thing in the end -

That is, a body that has been dead for many days cannot be taken back!

Because the prerequisite for him to transfer consciousness is a fully functioning brain.

Control the brain through gray mist filaments to receive all the senses and signals of this body.

As long as the brain is intact, physical deficiencies can be made up for with gray fog.

But none of the corpses found by Lin Zhongtian had intact brains. Either the brains had shrunk long ago, or they had turned into a pile of mushy mixture that could not be explained.

No corpse could contain the gray ball of his consciousness.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that he can only seize the bodies of living people, or the corpses of those who have just died.

The option of seizing a living person just emerged from his mind, and was decisively thrown away by Lin Zhongtian.

Although his mentality has broken away from the category of human beings, he still subconsciously doesn't want to do such a thing.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhongtian decided to take his time.

Anyway, he lacks everything now, except time.

up to you……

Lin Zhongtian thought so, turned around and ran towards Qiugang Village.

…

…

After about three minutes, Lin Zhongtian returned to Qiugang Village.

As soon as he entered the village, he found that there were many fewer people in the village. He thought they had all gone to work in the fields, but after walking a few steps, he discovered that everyone was gathered at Li Erhu's house.

The courtyard, which was not big to begin with, was now filled with people.

Everyone gathered together in twos and threes, discussing something in a low voice.

What happened again?

Lin Zhongtian became very interested. He climbed to the roof two or three times, stepped on the tiles and jumped onto the window sill of Li Erhu's house.

Before landing, Lin Zhongtian heard quarrels coming from the house.

Looking through the gap in the window, Li Erhu was naked to the waist, being held by a tall man on the shoulders, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the crowd in front of him with an angry face.

Beside him, there were two men staring at him.

Once Li Erhu wanted to get up, they would help push him back down.

Following Li Erhu's gaze, he saw three old men with white beards standing next to a crying woman, whispering something.

The old man at the head was leaning on a cane and spoke in a lecturing tone. He was obviously a highly respected village elder in the village.
