My descendants burn incense and worship me as a real immortal

Chapter 626 White Rat Warehouse

"Direction! Even just knowing a direction will at least tell you where to go next!"

The same thing happened to other puzzle solvers.

Most of them bribed the officials with money to extract information from them.

"Sir, where will this grain be obtained?"

"Sir, are there any dangerous spots on this road that we should avoid?"

"Sir, may I pay more money to buy an official robe?"

"Sir, have you seen my friends? Is it possible to find them?"

These puzzle solvers were all asking questions that concerned them, especially the one about buying an official position with money, which made Yang Genshuo exclaim that he had something to say about it.

Unfortunately, the starving official seemed to only know how to answer two questions.

One was the direction of the capital, and the other was the procurement of grain.

"Hehehe, you will have to procure the grain yourselves on the way. If you fail to procure enough grain by the time you reach the capital, that would be a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Another crucial piece of information was extracted: the money was raised along the way.

"It seems there will be a scene along the way where we can get food. But it didn't say the specific amount, so we need to collect all the food we encounter along the way, otherwise we won't have enough to complete the story."

The puzzle solver, number 20, provided the following analysis.

“That makes sense. We don’t know if the spirit wheat and spirit rice we brought can be used yet. We should try to collect the grains we might encounter in the legendary lands first.”

During this time, Yang Genshuo also established contact with Yang family descendants in various places and exchanged information with the twenty-two puzzle solvers he could find, as well as their analytical conclusions.

The Yang family members here were informed of the methods and feedback of the 22 puzzle solvers, and then they relayed the information to their fellow puzzle solvers.

Immediately, the other puzzle solvers understood!

"Old Ninth is still resorting to unorthodox methods. Bribing officials is the only way he can think of, haha~"

Number 6 smiled, then led everyone into the white mist, embarking on the journey to obtain the grain.

Some of the other teams had already set off, while others hadn't. They all adopted different strategies, and Yang Genshuo couldn't take care of everyone properly, so he could only watch over the troops that had already set off.

"By the way, Yang Min, you'd better not set off from here. You don't have a single puzzle solver on your side, which puts you at a disadvantage. You're also carrying so many burdens. It's best to stay put and wait to see how the other people's stories unfold before you leave."

Yang Min's group consisted of nine people, and while they weren't exactly useless, none of them had any special skills; they were all just ordinary low-level cultivators.

If they were really in danger, it would be too difficult for Yang Min to protect all nine of them.

Yang Min smiled nonchalantly.

“Ancestor, I am probably the one with the highest cultivation level who has entered the legendary land this time. If I have to retreat and wait for others to give me an answer, would that be worthy of my cultivation level? I remember my aunt once said that wisdom is important, but strength is the most crucial. I have strength, so I will use it. Even in a place like this, I have far more ways to protect myself than they do.”

"However, the rules of this legendary land do not allow one to do whatever one wants simply because one has cultivation."

"Ancestor, just think of me as the 31st puzzle solver. I will live well for their sake."

Yang Min led a group of nephews and nieces into the fog.

He raised his younger siblings, and now he must protect his nephews and nieces and find the right path for everyone. This is his responsibility as a strong person, and it is also the reason why he resolutely decided to come in.

He came here to get the story.

The Earth and Water Demon Child is born extraordinary.

As most people traveled, this legendary world began to slowly unfold its appearance.

Following the directions given by one of the starving officials, Yang Zhu and her companions headed south.

Gradually, they embarked on an official path, seemingly on the right track.

Along the roadside were dilapidated villages, and occasionally screams and cries could be heard.
"Should we follow the sound of crying? We might find something unexpected."

Yang Zhu couldn't help but say.

The Twelve Dynasties are no longer isolated from news; their interactions with the Lingmiao Continent are quite frequent, with more and more chartered ships traveling between them, and they have learned a great deal about the other side.

On the vast continent of Lingmiao, there are far more legendary lands than in the Twelve Dynasties.

Every legendary place has seen death, but it has also given rise to countless legends.

Over the past few decades, many people who were once ordinary citizens have risen to prominence by relying on treasures from legendary lands, establishing their own immortal clans and making a name for themselves in the cultivation world.

Some seemingly insignificant details in the legendary land may very well conceal a more intricate story.

A story within a story.

It often brings unexpected rewards.

The other brothers and sisters also had their eyes light up.

Although they are trapped here, it may not be a bad opportunity!
Especially for the unremarkable fifth generation of the Yang family, a fortuitous encounter is needed to change their circumstances.

Upon hearing this, Puzzle Solver #6 shook his head:

"Unless absolutely necessary, avoid taking detours. On the first journey to explore the legendary land, our most important task is to obtain a story that allows us to successfully complete the game, rather than exploring places that might yield rewards. We have consulted many people who have met many people on the Spirit Continent and obtained opportunities. Most of these temptations are dangerous signals."

"But there are so many people who find opportunities in the details of the story. Have you subscribed to the newspaper of the Book Sect? Almost every year there are several lucky people who have obtained treasures and become famous overnight because they found a way to get to the legendary land."

Yang Zhudang had clearly come prepared, having studied a great deal about the legendary land.

Upon hearing this, the 6th puzzle solver's lips curled into a smile.

"Only those who survived are qualified to speak, while those who were not mentioned have all died in the land of legends. How can they speak?"

"Let's go, my mission is to ensure your safety."

"Treasures are secondary; only those who are alive have the opportunity to use them, right?"

The special group of "suicide squads" trained by Yang Qiangjing are not only not blindly loyal, but also extremely intelligent. They are not willing to make fearless sacrifices, but are extremely afraid of death.

"Interesting, interesting. A cowardly assassin, that's Xiao Jing's style."

Fortunately, these 30 people prevented most of the Yang family members from making the same mistake as Yang Zhu when they were suddenly sucked into the legendary land. Instead, they went along with the story's direction.

Hearing the faint cries from the surrounding villages, Yang Zhu and his group ignored them and continued south along the official road.

They continued until they saw a roadside inn.
Inside stood a group of people dressed in official robes, their figures barely visible in the darkness of the post station.

Yang Genshuo wanted to use his unobstructed view to scout ahead, but a faint black mist surrounded the interior of the post station, making it impossible for him to detect anything.

The people inside also cannot select the [Character Card].

It's like a layer of mist that hasn't been completely lifted yet.

"Is this a special rule of the legendary land? My ability to sense things in advance is no longer working."

Yang Genshuo's game system has many functions, among which the most commonly used and practical is the simplest function: exploration.

By gathering detailed new information about the enemy's identity, capabilities, and weaknesses in advance, the Yang family can achieve unparalleled success. Yang Qiangjing is a staunch supporter of information theory; only those who possess the most information appear to be the most intelligent.

Therefore, Yang Qiangjing has been studying, learning various skills and techniques. Although her current cultivation level is only at the early stage of Golden Core, her knowledge is extremely diverse, and she can be said to be the walking encyclopedia of the Yang family.

Moreover, the more and more diverse Yang Qiangqiang learns, the faster he learns, and his cultivation speed is gradually catching up with the top tier of Yang family members.

Give her some more time, and Yang Genshuo believes she will definitely be able to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Of course, what bothered Yang Genshuo the most at this moment was that he couldn't control the information about this legendary place, couldn't get the logic of the story in advance, and couldn't predict the actions of the unknown creatures inside.

For him, this was just as frustrating as playing a gacha game where he could only see the card's model but not its description.

Having not received any instructions from the patriarch, the group exchanged glances, and Number Six nodded.

"Appearing on our inevitable path, that's what we have to face. This may be the next turning point in the story, our first task after the food supply is secured."

"Is it possible that we can find food here?"

"The inn looks like a place to rest. You know what? I've been through so much today, I'm really tired and want to find a place to rest properly."

"Me too, my legs feel like they're filled with lead, I can barely walk."

“I see you haven’t been exercising properly. Grandpa Yang Min said that strengthening your body will help you in the future. Even if you lose all your spiritual power, at least you will have a physical body that can communicate with the gods.”

"That shouldn't be the case. Although I haven't practiced martial arts much, I've been drinking the blood essence tonics my family uses. My body is already at the peak of the Innate Grandmaster level. How could I get tired after walking for just one day?"

"Yes, I also feel a sense of physical fatigue."

Yang Zhu's words immediately made everyone feel that something was even more wrong!
Yang Zhu is a genuine Nirvana Realm martial artist!

She wouldn't get tired even if she walked all day, or fought all day!

"There's a problem; our bodies have a problem."

Number Six wasn't surprised.

"Jiehu. Our identity here is that of lowly farmers who escort grain, and we live in extremely poor conditions. Perhaps the rules of this legendary land have also changed our bodies, making us tired and sleepy just like ordinary people."

"Sixth Brother is right. You do have an additional status effect: [Stamina Limitation]. Your stamina has been forcibly reduced, which means you need more time to rest and replenish. If I'm not mistaken, you're already starting to feel thirsty, aren't you?"

When the ancestor appeared, Yang Genshuo saw thin gray lines at their feet, restricting their bodies.

These fine lines, invisible and intangible, are the rules of the white grain warehouse.

"I didn't even realize it until the old man pointed it out. My throat is so dry, it feels like it's on fire."

I'm hungry too.

"I really want to find a place to have a big meal before I leave."

Only then did everyone realize that they, who could have fasted for days without feeling anything by relying on their own spiritual power, had actually begun to have the needs of ordinary people.

"We've been affected by the rules of the White Granary; it seems we have no choice but to enter the post station now."

Yang Zhu pointed to the post station ahead and said.

"Wait a minute."

Number Six opposes.

He took out a high-grade spiritual food pastry from his storage ring, put it in his mouth, and began to chew.

After swallowing it completely, he checked his internal state and then frowned.

"What's wrong?" Yang Zhudang asked anxiously.

He couldn't resist starting to eat too.

He had never felt so hungry since he was born.

"This is a third-grade spiritual food, which is extremely rich in nutrition and spiritual energy. Normally, eating one piece would be enough to meet my needs for three days of seclusion. But after eating one piece, I feel nothing at all. It seems that we are forbidden from eating the food we brought here."

Others tried it as well and found that their hunger could not be relieved by the food they brought. The taste was exactly the same, but after swallowing it, it was like swallowing air, with no feeling at all.

"In that case, it seems that the post station is a necessary stop on our journey through the game, and we must obtain supplies from it."

After verification on the sixth day, the same conclusion as Yang Zhu was reached.

“My sister already said she wanted to go in,” Yang Zhuyu said.

"Only through verification can we make the most appropriate decision, rather than relying on feelings. Ms. Yang Zhu, I am not questioning you; on the contrary, my judgment is the same as yours. I am simply confirming it."

"I know, let's go."

The group continued on their journey to an unknown post station, with the timid Yang Zhuyu and Yang Zhuyi hiding behind Yang Zhu.

Their actions gradually dispelled the surrounding white mist, and the people in the post station began to move.

"Is the visitor a person being escorted to the capital?"

From afar, loud inquiries could be heard from inside, exuding official authority.

Number Six stepped forward and quickly said:

"Yes, sir! The journey is long, and we would like to rest at the inn for the night. Is that alright?"

"Your mission to deliver grain to the capital is a momentous matter; how can it be neglected? Quickly bring in the grain you are escorting!"

The people here seem to be easier to talk to.

They hurried into the post station, and only after they entered did they...
"what!"

"Well"

Yang Zhuyu and Yang Zhuyi almost cried out, but Yang Zhu covered their mouths with both hands, preventing them from making a sound.

The other people who entered the station didn't scream, but they still gasped in shock.

Yang Genshuo's gums ached from watching it.

The scene inside the post station was extremely horrifying.

A group of "officials" who ran the post station wore official robes, but underneath they had huge rat heads with two buck teeth sticking out and drooling constantly, making them look extremely disgusting.

A person at the post station with a rat's head and a human body.

This is even more bizarre than the previous starving official.

"What the hell is all this stuff? It gave me a fright."

Yang Genshuo was only able to see the appearance and abilities of these 'rat servants' after they entered the post station.

He busied himself opening the character cards of these 'rat servants'.
