My chuunibyou self: All my fantasies have come true

"It's not this captain, but the legendary captain."

Miao Miao pointed upwards with her finger.

It was as if that captain existed in the heavens.

"You've seen it before?" Lu Jing asked suspiciously.

Miao Miao proudly puffed out her slightly thin chest: "Of course I've seen him, he's so handsome! I want to marry someone like him when I grow up!"

"Oh...."

Lu Jing gave a perfunctory reply.

Miao Miao was dissatisfied, but then she saw Lu Jing looking down at the crack under his feet.

"Was the earthquake that serious?"

Lu Jing clicked his tongue in amazement.

The story is set against the backdrop of an earthquake that destroyed the original mountain god temple.

That's why they needed to build the mountain god temple.

The cracks left by the earthquake covered the entire village like a giant spider web.

These cracks vary in depth and width; some are even wide enough to fit a leg.

The cracks became increasingly larger, especially as you got closer to the center of the village.

In some places, the ground has completely cracked open, forming deep trenches that are difficult to cross.

In some places, the depression is only slight, but it is enough to make people's hearts tremble.

These cracks not only damaged the village's roads and houses, but also made the once familiar homes unrecognizable.

The villagers had to carefully avoid the cracks and find safe paths.

Further ahead, a familiar signboard suddenly appeared.

Marked in red.

Do not approach the ancestral hall in the center of the village.

Lu Jing and Miao Miao exchanged a glance.

Another rule has been discovered.

“Let’s go take a look,” Miao Miao said.

Lu Jing pointed to the guidelines.

Miao Miao said, "Let's not go inside, let's go outside and take a look."

Lu Jing did not insist.

If Captain Cao Lihao were here, he would definitely stop the two of them.

Two young people together always seem to come up with great ideas!

The two quickly arrived at the center of the village.

There is an old tree in the center of the village, and the ancestral hall is not far from the old tree.

There were only a few villagers chatting in twos and threes in front of the ancestral hall.

Lu Jing and Miao Miao attracted their attention as soon as they appeared.

One of the men, a kind-looking middle-aged man in his forties, came over and asked, "What can I do for you?"

"Nothing much, just wandering around."

Miao Miao wasn't intimidated at all and said with a smile.

"You didn't see the warning signs when you came over."

"What warning sign?" Lu Jing pretended to be clueless.

The middle-aged man continued, "Outsiders are not allowed to come to this ancestral hall. This is a rule in our village, and we hope you can understand."

The middle-aged man had a kind smile on his face as he spoke.

Miao Miao suddenly realized and apologized:

"I'm so sorry, we didn't notice."

"It's alright, you can wander around the rest of the village as you like."

Lu Jing and Miao Miao had no choice but to turn back.

Lu Jing glanced back and saw that the middle-aged man had sat back down.

These people don't seem to be simply chatting here, but rather standing guard, protecting the ancestral hall.

"That's strange," Lu Jing said.

"how?"

"If it's a taboo, why didn't anyone remind us when we went up the mountain to cut down trees?"

On the contrary, there are people guarding this place, as if they're afraid we'll go in!

Miao Miao frowned slightly upon hearing this, but quickly relaxed.

"Don't overthink it, there are plenty of strange things happening in this village."

Miao Miao had just finished speaking

At that moment, a woman in her thirties brushed past them.

Another man who looked to be about the same age as her said:

"Mom, slow down!"

Lu Jing and Miao Miao both showed a hint of surprise.

"mother?"

The two turned their heads at the same time.

Miao Miao whispered, "These two look more like a married couple. They might be his father's second wife!"

Lu Jing said in a deep voice, "No one would call their stepmother 'mother'."

Miao Miao shrugged.

"........"

After the two returned...

I checked the information with the other people.

Another group also discovered several other rules.

Do not trust any villager surnamed Li!

Do not draw well water if you are alone.

Do not dry clothes at night.

No whistle blowing at midnight!

Gray hairs should not be plucked.

"........."

"What the hell is all this?" Fan Zhiyu frowned.

“Each rule corresponds to a legend,” Cao Lihao explained. “This village has many supernatural events, which is why there is a mountain god, and why we were asked to build a mountain god temple.”

"Luckily, these rules are all outrageous, otherwise it would have been terrible if we had accidentally triggered them!"

A girl named Tian Qiuju said with lingering fear.

Clearly, rule-based instances are relatively unfamiliar to them.

No one has a mature solution.

Fortunately, this rule-based dungeon is suitable for beginners.

Examples include: "Don't hang clothes out to dry at night," "Don't blow the whistle at midnight!" and "Don't pluck gray hairs!"

This rule is something that only extremely unlucky people would never trigger.

"Just be careful, everyone."

Cao Lihao gave a reminder and then asked Zhang Songgan about the progress of the mountain god temple.

Zhang Songgan said that at the current pace, the mountain god temple would be completed in a few days with a little polishing.

Upon hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that victory was imminent.

"........"

night.

Lu Jingye couldn't sleep.

The more I think about what happened during the day, the stranger it seems.
