Chen Lin stood in front of the statue.

This statue is almost a foot tall, and among all the statues, it ranks among the top ten.

The image is rather peculiar.

The eyes, nose, and mouth are all very small, and the two ears are so exaggerated that they look like two cattail fans, with strange spots.

in addition.

The two arms of this statue are also very long.

One of them is holding a crutch, and the palm of the other hand is stretched out, with the five fingers slightly bent upward.

It seems to be holding something.

Chen Lin put the silver bowl above his palm and compared it a little, feeling that the size of the silver bowl and his palm were about the same.

But other statues don't have such big hands.

But Chen Lin was still not in a hurry.

He continued to look at the remaining statues, waiting to see them all before making a decision.

at the same time.

Chen Lin also took out the amber.

This thing is also pointing to this place, which is this thatched house, and it is most likely the medium that inspired a certain statue.

As soon as the amber was taken out, it started to flicker.

No need to test.

A dark statue above the shelf also glowed slightly with fluorescence at this moment.

Obviously the two are related.

But Chen Lin felt doubtful.

The silver bowl and the amber are both media that communicate with the statue, but they present completely different situations.

The silver bowl showed no response

Even if you approach all the statues one by one, nothing will change.

But Amber had an abnormality when she was in the Sea of ​​Despair, and she could also guide the direction through the strength of her reaction.

What is the reason for this?

Chen Lin put the amber in his hand in front of his eyes.

Observe carefully.

At this moment, the runes inside seemed to come alive, constantly squirming and changing, as if they were about to break away from it.

The closer he got to the pitch-black statue, the stronger the reaction became, and there seemed to be something missing from the hat on the head of the pitch-black statue.

About the same size as amber.

Watched it for a while.

Chen Lin put the amber away temporarily.

Suppressing the restlessness in my heart, I continued to look at the remaining statues.

The monk at Zhenmo Temple has a big question about whether to use amber, and he needs to think again.

This time there was no other discovery until the end.

There are no familiar statues or other abnormalities.

Chen Lin touched his chin.

Think for a moment.

He did not touch any of the statues, but turned around and left the thatched house.

Went around in the valley for a while.

Then return to the mouth of the valley and continue to wait and observe.

Night is coming soon.

The thatched house was pushed away, and the old man with a hunchback picked up a hoe and went into the wheat field to weed.

Chen Lin showed up immediately without hesitation.

While observing, we walked into the valley.

"My father-in-law invited me!"

He came to the wheat field and spoke loudly to the old man.

The old man straightened up, turned his gaze, and examined Chen Lin.

Then he bowed.

"So it's Master Chen. Is he here to receive his salary?"

Chen Lin's heart moved.

The other party was indeed able to communicate and call him by his last name. It seemed that this strange island had similar surveillance methods.

Otherwise, it's because of the statue.

The statue of oneself appears here. As the person who manages this place, it is reasonable for him to know some basic information.

in addition.

The other party mentioned salary.

Salary is equivalent to salary. Since there is salary, there are people who pay it.

Who could it be?

Seeing that the old man was very kind, Chen Lin didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"I have just taken over Dan Pavilion, and I don't know much about many things on Qiren Island. I wonder what I call you?"

"The old servant's surname is Qi, but he has no name."

The old man answered immediately.

Then he added: "Master Chen, just call me Qi Tuozi. I also have a wife, her name is Wang Cuilan. The two of us are responsible for taking care of the worship house and distributing salary."

"But the only thing that can be distributed now is this golden wheat."

The old man pointed to the wheat field.

He also explained: "However, Qiren Island has not elected a new island owner. Without the island owner's order, we have no right to distribute other items."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

If there is no right to distribute, then there are still treasures. Things that can be recognized as treasures here must be extraordinary.

But he immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking about the treasure.

Keep asking about the statue.

"Excuse me, my father-in-law, where did that thatched house, no, the statues in the worship house come from, and what is their purpose?"

"The statue."

The hunchbacked old man made a long note.

"Anyone who is qualified to worship on Qiren Island will leave a statue in this worship hall and accept worship."

"This is of great benefit."

"It's just that Qiren Island has declined now, otherwise such seats would not be easily obtained."

Chen Lin's face twitched.

The implication of the other party's words seems to be that he was able to obtain the qualification simply because he missed it.

And indeed it is.

If the figures corresponding to the statues in the thatched house were like Kaguya, he would not only be picking things up, but also having bad luck.

But then again.

The current Qiren Island is just a relic, and whether it is qualified to be enshrined or not is of no use anymore.

There may even be hidden dangers that he doesn't need at all.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin immediately spoke.

"I want to ask my father-in-law, can the enshrinement status of this Qiren Island be lifted at any time?"

"Release?"

The hunchbacked old man was stunned.

It took a while before he said: "No one has ever taken the initiative to cancel the status of enshrinement. Qiren Island is free and there are no restrictions on enshrinement. Even if tasks are issued, they are all done through transactions, so there is no need to cancel them. If you want to go directly,
