Volume 2 Mountains and Rivers Meet Chapter 52 The Strange Mission of the Pioneer Palace
When the morning light shone on everyone's faces again, they all stood up silently to meet the first rays of the morning sun. You Xuan was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Why are they all doing this?"
Everyone looked at You Xuan like fools, Lei Daqian quietly attached himself to You Xuan's ear, and said silently, "Brother, you should know that the current situation in Mountain City is not good, and this is the only time of day when you can feel the warmth of the sun." Needless to say, you'll understand when you get to Mountain City. ”
Without continuing to talk to You Xuan, Lei Daqian also silently raised his head and looked at the big sun, as if he was receiving the baptism of light.
It didn't take long for the sun to rise, and the sunlight shining on everyone was not as warm as it was just now, and there was only a trace of biting chill. Feeling this situation, You Xuan was even more surprised, the situation in Mountain City this time was far more troublesome than he imagined.
At the moment when the sun was no longer warm, everyone rushed to the gate of Mountain City, quietly waiting for the gate to open.
At this time, You Xuan couldn't help but pull Lei Daqian and asked, "Hasn't anyone thought about solving this problem?"
"Yes, why not. Lei Daqian still had a simple smile on his face, "Even the city lord wants to live this thing." Last time, I saw the city lord go out of the city gate to explore this white mist, but I didn't find anything. ”
Hearing Lei Daqian's indifferent voice, You Xuan felt a trace of helplessness, it seems that almost all people are used to living in this environment. Habit is really a terrible force.
Just as You Xuan was thinking about a lot of things, there was a squeaking sound in the distance, and then a person wearing an enforcer's costume came, "Everyone line up, get your identification, and then you can enter the city." ”
"Identification, and this thing?" You Xuan was a little surprised, after all, this was his first time coming back, and he didn't have any identification.
"Don't be afraid, all you need is proof that you're an ordinary citizen, or if you have the identity of a pioneer. Lei Daqian quietly explained the rules of Mountain City to You Xuan.
After a while, You Xuan walked to the gate of the city, handed out his identity certificate, and saw that the enforcer nodded at You Xuan, signaling You Xuan to go in.
"I didn't expect you to have the certification of a pioneer, I really underestimated you. Lei Daqian followed You Xuan closely, chattering endlessly. "You'd better go to the Pioneer Hall and have a look, after all, I've heard that there are a lot of tasks now. ”
"These tasks not only earn merit points, but also get a large amount of honorarium. Lei Daqian seemed to be a little envious and said, "If only I could get the certification of a pioneer." ”
After listening to Lei Daqian's words, You Xuan nodded, "Let's not stop here, I'll go to the pioneers to take a look." After saying that, he left directly, without the slightest superfluous movement.
Looking at You Xuan's back, Lei Daqian was a little envious, and kept muttering, "I don't know when I will be able to pass the pioneer certification." I'm so envious. ”
..................
Standing in front of the Pioneer Hall of Mountain City, You Xuan suddenly had a sense of desolation. There is a huge square in front of the Pioneer Hall, and at this time, there are almost no people staying here.
You Xuan used to stay in front of the door of the Pioneer Hall in Jinghai City, that fish and dragons were mixed, and the voices were boiling, compared to here, it was simply a heaven and a place.
With a hint of curiosity about Mountain City, You Xuan stepped into the entire hall. At this time, the characters in the Pioneer Hall have been pasted all over the taskbar, but there are really few pioneers who come here to pick up the characters.
"Excuse me, what's going on here, why are you so deserted? You Xuan walked to the front desk and asked with a puzzled face.
"Little brother is not from Mountain City, right? The receptionist raised his eyes and suddenly said, "If you are a newcomer, it is normal not to know, the nearest mountain city is almost abandoned, if you have nothing to do, it is best to leave now." ”
Hearing such a nonsensical sentence, You Xuan was even more puzzled, he had just arrived, why did he start persuading himself to leave. But You Xuan still didn't give up, and still asked silently, "Can you tell me what happened?"
"Didn't you spend the night outside the city gate yesterday?, didn't you hold back your curiosity to look at that white mist?" the receptionist glanced at You Xuan, "Don't you know what that white mist means?"
You Xuan shook his head, saying that he didn't know, and he really didn't know. The reception brother glanced at You Xuan, and he was a person who didn't like to read, "It is recorded in history that every time you encounter this kind of white fog, a big thing will happen. ”
"What's the big deal?" You Xuan was a little curious and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know much about this, after all, I don't like to read much, but I still heard from someone who used to be here. The man seemed quite learned. The reception brother opened his palm, revealing a small handful of melon seeds, and asked, "Do you want to have some too?"
As soon as the reception brother said this, You Xuan couldn't help but feel a little speechless, I thought you had read many books, but it turned out to be the same type as me, half a hanger, half a bucket of water.
"Don't, don't, forget it. Seeing that You Xuan had no results in the melon seeds in his hand, the receiving brother immediately put away his hand and pointed to the taskbar next to him, "If you want to take on any tasks, you can go and see them, but well, these tasks are almost the same." ”
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to You Xuan, and began to knock melon seeds on his own. You Xuan silently walked to the side of the taskbar and looked at the tasks released one by one.
"I feel cold at home inexplicably, so I invite a master to come to my house for the end, price: 8 merits. ”
"I often hear inexplicable voices in the middle of the night, and invite someone to subdue the demon, price: 10 merits. ”
"When I drank water in the middle of the night, I saw a big mouse, and there were ten layers of qi refining by sight, so I asked someone to catch the demon, price: 100,000 Daxia coins. ”
..............
After reading these tasks, You Xuan finally knew why the entire Pioneer Hall of Mountain City was so deserted, after all, these words were too much like ghosts. Even if there really are no ghosts, according to the character of human beings who scare themselves, they will definitely fabricate a ghost out of thin air.
"Looks like I know why Mountain City is so deserted. Could it be that everyone is saying that here?" You Xuan walked to the front desk and knocked on the table, "Are there any other tasks, what are they posted there?"
"Nope. There are only those tasks you are looking for, as for the desire to exchange pills and weapons, we don't have them here, and they were all ordered by the city lord a few months ago. So we have nothing now. The reception brother shook his head, saying that there was nothing he could do.
"Okay, then you don't have any other tasks, I always feel that none of them seem to be very reliable. You Xuan was still a little bit unwilling, and finally came to take on the task for a while, but found that there was no suitable one.
"Hmm~~~~~~~ let me think about it. The reception brother stopped his speed of eating melon seeds, and stroked his chin with one hand, "If you really say it, there is still one, but the danger level of that one seems to be a little higher." ”
Hearing the affirmative reply, You Xuan's eyes lit up, "Say it quickly, what kind of task it is, it doesn't matter if it's difficult, as long as you can do it." ”
"Good. After speaking, the reception brother stood up and walked to the task bar, I don't know from which corner pulled out a dusty task card, "Here, this was issued by the city lord about half a year ago." It seems that the reward is still high. ”
As he spoke, he directly threw this card to You Xuan. You Xuan hurriedly caught it, and entered a trace of mana slightly, and a paragraph soon appeared on the entire mission card:
"Explore the origin of the white fog outside the mountain city gate for one month, reward: 10,000 merit points. ”
"Hiss~~~~~" You Xuan gasped, just now I heard that the reward was good, I thought it would be good to have a few thousand merit points, but I didn't expect that it would be as high as 10,000 merit points, "Little brother, will there be any punishment if this is not completed." ”
"No, it won't. The little brother began to knock the melon seeds again at this time, "What the city lords of the concise Yuan Shen Period have not done, ordinary people can't do, so I advise you to give up." ”
Hearing the words of the little brother who received you, You Xuan shook his head, "No, I'll choose this character, anyway, there is no punishment, it's better to try your luck, maybe I'll find it?"
Originally, I wanted to remind You Xuan's gathering reception brother to hear this, and pursed his mouth, "That's okay, but remember to give up when you should give up, after all, you are not even in the Yuan Shen Period." Looking at the back of You Xuan leaving, the reception brother still didn't finish his words after all.
There have been countless people who have thought this way to take this figure, and now their graves are several feet high.
You Xuan walked on this street, silently walked to a corner, and took out his own Five Emperor coins, "Hehe, I'm a fortune teller, I don't need to explore at all, just count one hexagram." ”
Looking at the five copper coins flying in his hand, You Xuan felt as if he was appreciating this art. But with a flash of light, the five Five Emperor Coins broke in response to the sound and turned into powder.
Frowning his brows, You Xuan found that no matter what he was now, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in his heart, "Is he really a person who can't even count hexagrams?"
No, it is absolutely impossible, looking at the broken Five Emperor Money, You Xuan shook his head, he could only say that this time the fortune telling was once again beyond his ability, so he couldn't calculate it.
You Xuan sighed helplessly, every time he calculated, he couldn't calculate it a few times, and he thought that he would take the reward while lying down, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.
