Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1739 In the Deadly Game 26

Ruan Lanzhu gave birth to flesh and blood, and not only he himself, but also Ling Jiushi was very happy.

Especially since Ling Jiushi had recently been seeing that very familiar dormitory in the world of doors, he was sure that the world of doors must be closely related to him. Just when he was passing through the door of Crying Boy, he received a message from his old friend Gao Dawei, which completely confirmed his mission.

The next door was to the Clear Sky Lady. Ling Jiushi spent a lot of time searching the forums and finally found some information: "There's a place near the mountains and the sea where it rains frequently. Since some time ago, the people there have heard a legend that says that if you look down on a person's head, wrap it in cloth, and hang it up, the downpour will stop."

"After discussion, they chose a little boy. However, the boy's tutor believed that the village, nestled against the mountains and facing the sea, was prone to heavy rain. He disagreed with the villagers sacrificing an innocent child, especially one of his students. Unable to convince the villagers, the tutor offered to sacrifice the child in his place."

"But unexpectedly, after the villagers chopped off the teacher's head, wrapped it in white cloth and hung it high up, the heavy rain really stopped immediately..."

This time, Jiang Xinxin and Ling Jiushi were sitting quite close to each other. They walked through the corridor in the rain and came to the lounge. They first met Wang Di from the White Deer Guild. Then Cui Xueyi from the X Guild, who was being cared about by Xiong Qi and Obsidian, and his employer showed up.

The girl who hired Cui Xueyi was a "Shamatte" with a very arrogant attitude. A fair-skinned young man behind the girl stood up and claimed to be Cui Xueyi. He also brought a mute cousin with him.

Ruan Lanzhu couldn't help but say: "The two people Cui Xueyi brought, one is arrogant and the other is disabled, it's not easy for them to go out."

Ling Jiushi also laughed and said, "It seems that the news about Yan Balang's broken funding chain is true."

Jiang Xinxin said, "It's still unclear which one is the real Cui Xueyi."

At this moment, the owner of the house suddenly appeared. He just reminded everyone that it often rains here and asked everyone to bring an umbrella when going out. Then he took out the key and let everyone choose a room to stay in freely.

Ruan Lanzhu went forward to take the key, turned around and said to Ling Jiushi and Jiang Xinxin with a smile: "I'm sorry to bother you two to live with me again~"

Jiang Xinxin reflexively looked at Ling Jiushi with a smile, while Ling Jiushi lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly. It was obvious that he had noticed Ruan Lanzhu's feelings, and he did not resist it, and even enjoyed it a little.

Back in the room, the three of them gathered together to integrate the information.

Ruan Lanzhu was the first to speak: "According to the information we've found and the reminder from the owner of the house just now, getting wet in the rain is definitely taboo, but if you have an umbrella, there's a high probability that there won't be any problem."

Ling Jiushi nodded, then asked, "So, should we look for an umbrella first?"

Jiang Xinxin said, "Perhaps the clue to the door and the key lies with the tutor who sacrificed himself for his students."

Ruan Lanzhu concluded: "So our task tomorrow is to find an umbrella and a tutor."

"It's getting late, let's rest first. We can think better when we have enough energy."

Not long after everyone fell asleep, Jiang Xinxin noticed the movement in the yard. She quickly and quietly woke up Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi. The three of them squeezed to the front of the door and quietly dug a few holes. They found that the owner of the house in the yard was playing games with a group of lazy girls around someone.

The sky-sweeping girls were singing songs and playing the game of throwing the handkerchief. The man who broke the taboo and was surrounded in the middle would have his head cut off and become a new sky-sweeping girl.

The owner of the house, holding the only umbrella, slowly disappeared with a group of sky-sweeping ladies.

This wasn't the first time Jiang Xinxin had seen such a scene, but she still felt bad. "It seems we've found the umbrella. I've also memorized the ballad. Maybe tomorrow we'll have a chance to verify some things."

Ling Jiushi didn't know how to comfort the depressed Jiang Xinxin, so he could only try his best to analyze the situation: "It seems that getting wet in the rain really is a taboo. If it rains tomorrow, we'll have to go find the umbrella in the host's hand first."

Jiang Xinxin wouldn't let her emotions affect her for too long. After just a few words, she had recovered. "Thank you. Go to sleep quickly. Tomorrow's tasks are quite heavy. Especially that Cui Xueyi. He actually pretended to be deaf and dumb and even hired a double to take the lead. I'm very pessimistic about that young couple, especially if they are too stubborn and won't listen to advice."

Ruan Lanzhu had no idea what to do with the kind of person Jiang Xinxin described. He spread his hands and everyone lay down together.

Early the next morning, a huge sky-sweeping lady appeared under the eaves. Jiang Xinxin walked forward and uncovered the white cloth wrapped around it. It was indeed the young man from last night. At this time, the sky had cleared up.

The others were frightened by this sudden change and fled in panic. Only Ruan Lanzhu, Ling Jiushi and Wang Di from the White Deer Guild stayed.

The Obsidian Guild promised Li Dongyuan to take care of the people from the White Deer Guild, and with Zhuang Rujiao as the middleman, Wang Di trusted Ruan Lanzhu and the others very much.

So Ruan Lanzhu told Wang Di everything they had seen last night, and also told him about the experiment they were going to do next. "The information we found outside showed that hanging up the Qingming Niang will make the sky clear up. Apparently, it seems to be true, but we heard a ballad last night, and now we want to give it a try."

Wang Di agreed, and Jiang Xinxin took off the sky-sweeping cloth. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, but it did not start raining. But when Ling Jiushi took out his mobile phone and sang the ballad he had memorized last night, it began to rain heavily.

When Jiang Xinxin hung up the Sky-Sweeping Goddess again, the sky cleared up again.

Wang Di concluded, "It seems that if we hang up the Sky-Sweeping Goddess, the sky will clear up, but if we take it down and sing the ballad, it will start to rain until we hang up the Sky-Sweeping Goddess again."

Jiang Xinxin suggested, "Why don't we split up into two groups? One group will go outside to look for the tutor and the body of the person who was made into the Sky Sweeper. The other group will go to the master's room and, most importantly, get the only umbrella."

Jiang Xinxin took the job first. "I can go back and forth quickly, so I chose to go to the village to look for the bodies of the tutor and those sweeping women."

Ruan Lanzhu chose to look for the owner's room. Ling Jiushi did not decide who to follow immediately, but signaled Wang Di to choose first.

Wang Di looked at Jiang Xinxin, then at Ruan Lanzhu, and ultimately decided to follow Jiang Xinxin. "Our boss mentioned that the person he admires most, besides Zhu Meng, the boss of the Obsidian Guild, is Miss Jiang, who has an official background. So, I'm following Miss Jiang."

Jiang Xinxin agreed with a smile. Before the two groups parted ways, Jiang Xinxin turned back to remind Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi, "You two should keep an eye on this Qingqingniang. Even though we're the only ones who know the ballad right now, we always want to be prepared for the worst. We don't have umbrellas."
