Chapter Ninety-Five: Goodbye to the Man in White
Since the team came to this fairy sword world, they have hardly paid attention to the issue of cold and warm weather.
I don't know if it's because of attribute enhancement, or if it's the innate setting of the system, in this game, the weather is always monotonous and cloudless, and the sun is shining.
In Qi Zhen's perception, the temperature is probably maintained at the level of early spring or after autumn in his own world, which can be regarded as a pleasant climate.
And throughout the game, unless it is to increase the difficulty of the game or the extreme weather that occurs due to the needs of the plot, such as fog, at least for now, the team has never had to worry about the warmth and cold, the addition or removal of clothes due to weather reasons.
This is also the reason why Qi Zhen is suspicious, he still doesn't know what the source of this temperature anomaly is, but I am afraid it is also inextricably related to the task that the team is on.
Qi Zhen asked Zhang Dacai: "When did this weather start to be hot and cold?" ”
"It didn't take long, probably not long before I left Wuhu." Zhang Dacai replied.
Qi Zhen roughly calculated the time, according to the pace of the carriage and horse, if you are not in a hurry, you can go back and forth in about 20 days, and if you hurry up, it will be about 15 days.
Except for the two days when they intersected with Qi Zhen's team, that is, the day when everyone in the team rested by Taihu Lake, if you go back dozens of days......
Although it was only a rough estimate, Qi Zhen understood it a little at the moment, although he was a little reluctant to admit it, but the time of this sudden change in the weather happened to be before and after Qi Zhen's team entered the game, I am afraid that even if this matter has nothing to do with them, I am afraid it will not be able to say.
Whether there is such a coincidence in the game world Qi Zhen can't be sure, but what Qi Zhen can be sure of is that the factors that affect the development and advancement of all the plots of a game, even if they are unexpected and unpredictable for players, must have been designed early for the production of the game.
Before the squad enters the game, all the stories in the game press the pause button, and there is neither development nor conflict, as if all the plots begin to advance as soon as the squad enters the game.
What is the saying? The wheels of history are slowly moving forward?
Qi Zhen laughed at herself, after calculating it, it turned out that everything was still moving according to the route of system design, and Qi Zhen's so-called jumping out of the designer's way of thinking now seemed like a joke.
He felt a little frustrated, no longer accompanied Zhang Dacai in the car, and silently got out of the car and started running.
Zhang Dacai thought that he didn't have anything to talk to him about, so he didn't care.
The rest of the team could clearly feel that Qi Zhen's mentality had changed slightly, but they couldn't ask at this time.
It was getting dark, and everyone finally saw the looming wall at the end of the road.
After Zhang Dacai's introduction, Qi Zhen knew that although Wuhu was an important transportation hub, it was not a strategic point for the imperial court.
I don't know if the locals are used to being comfortable, or the lords at all levels of the state capital, county and county do not do political affairs, in short, although the Wuhu boundary is still peaceful, but it has nothing to do with the government, most of the locals are softer and more comfortable to live and work.
If it weren't for Zhang Dacai's reminder, Qi Zhen would have almost thought that what he saw in the distance was not the courtyard wall of a landlord's compound.
This also proves that they are indeed extremely close to Wuhu.
After about a cup of tea, everyone finally saw the boundary monument on the side of the road in the distance.
There is also the white dress next to the boundary marker.
Zhang Dacai had seen the domineering of the boy in white, and he was naturally a little nervous in his heart, but everyone in Qi Zhen's team was slightly relieved.
Finally, before arriving in Wuhu, I saw a second possible clue, no matter what, it is better than not encountering anything.
The carriage was slowly stopped by Zhang Dacai.
The crowd stood by the carriage, all on guard.
Qi Zhen stepped forward, clasped her fists and arched her hands: "What a coincidence, we met again." ”
The white-clothed boy raised his head with his right hand holding the boundary monument, staring at the people in front of him with a pair of eyes like a falcon, with no expression on his face.
His eyebrows are so characteristic that they make a bit of a fierce gaze.
Either the word ruthless is not accurate enough, or it should be said that it is more appropriate to be condescending.
Zhang Dacai was a little hairy by this kind of gaze, and subconsciously avoided his gaze and looked at Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen's face remained unchanged, still maintaining the posture of clenching her fists and arching her hands, and the expression on her face did not change, as if she did not feel the oppression brought by the other party's gaze.
"Unfortunately, I'm waiting for you." The man in white finally spoke.
"I don't know what Childe is looking for us?" Qi Zhen asked.
seemed to be more satisfied with the title of son, Qi Zhen felt that the other party's sense of oppression seemed to be a little lighter.
"You've seen the woman in the inn." The man in white asked.
"I've never seen it." Qi Zhen replied.
"Lie!" The man in white raised his eyebrows.
Just after the man said these two words, a gust of wind that came out of nowhere, accompanied by a huge sense of oppression, rolled towards Qi Zhen and the others.
The horse began to neigh in fear, and the hooves were rattling.
Zhang Dacai hurriedly began to comfort the frightened horses, it doesn't matter if the horses are shocked, he and the carload behind him can't make any mistakes.
The faces of everyone in the team were a little solemn at this time.
Li Qiang shook his head.
Qi Zhen just asked him about spiritual communication, but he couldn't beat him.
Generally in this case, whether it is Li Qiang, Yu Liang and Meng Ran, shaking their heads means that they can't beat it, and they don't know until they beat it.
However, this time, Qi Zhen knew that Li Qiang didn't mean that.
Instead, he told him very clearly that he couldn't beat it.
And Qi Zhen asked this question this time in order to seek psychological comfort.
This means that Qi Zhen's mentality is also a little flustered at this time.
The wind stopped, and the man in white still maintained a condescending attitude, and said to everyone: "The other two." ”
The tone of the man in white was a little peculiar, and all the interrogative sentences would make him change to the tone of declarative sentences, so what he said became interrogative sentences.
And this questioning tone came out of his mouth, which seemed extraordinarily reasonable, but extraordinarily domineering.
Qi Zhen knew that since he didn't immediately break out and hurt people, it proved that he didn't come to fight, but he couldn't give him another chance to go crazy.
He quickly told the other party everything he knew, but he also went through some processing.
Contrary to what Zhang Dacai said, this time he only focused on the reason why Lin Xiao might leave, and concealed the matter of Li San tracking them and the problem of the pot.
Now that you know what the other party's purpose is, the focus will be different, so the whole thing becomes a different version.
It is equivalent to splitting the entire chain of events that happened at the same time into two separate and completely unrelated stories.
The same self-justification is reasonable.
“…… So we followed Brother Zhang to Wuhu to see if we could find any clues and find our companions, and we met you here. ”
Qi Zhen finished speaking, waiting for the other party's reaction.
After I don't know how long it took and it seemed like it was just a moment, the man in white slowly spoke: "Go to Guzi, find someone, come to see me." ”
After finishing speaking, everyone's eyes were full of flowers, where was the shadow of the man in white in their sight?
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Zhen felt that his back was completely soaked with sweat, and if he started to do it just now, he was afraid that none of his people would be able to leave here alive.
At this time, Qi Zhen's face changed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Li Qiang asked.
"Nothing." Qi Zhen shook her head.
The group hit the road again, only this time they were no longer interested in talking as they had just done.
"What is the place of the Doves?" Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Yu Liang asked.
"Jiuzi, is the ancient name of Wuhu, and later because of shipping, slowly the place where the people live moved westward, to the current location of the riverside, the place name of Jiuzi, and gradually no one called it anymore." Zhang Dacai said.
Since there is an expectation that Qi Zhen's team is not a mortal, Zhang Dacai also has full psychological preparation in his heart for encountering some strange things, and he has indeed heard a lot of such legends over the years.
It's just that the first time I met, I was able to calm down in such a short period of time, which still made Qi Zhen a little unexpected.
Qi Zhen attributed this to the fact that ancient people did not know much about science and technology, so any unknown things often came down to the category of superstition.
"Is this dove outside the city or inside the city?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Outside the city, the original area has long been deserted, the government has not taken care of it, and there were often rumors of haunting in the vicinity a few years ago, so no one wants to go." Zhang Dacai said as he pointed in the direction to the right.
"It's over there, it's not too far from here, and if you start from here, with the strength of your feet, I'm afraid you'll be there before I get home." Zhang Dacai continued.
Qi Zhen responded, indicating that she understood.
As for whether to rush over immediately, he was a little hesitant.
"Shall we go over?" Yu Liang asked.
"There's no hurry." It was Li Qiang who answered him.
It seems that Li Qiang and Qi Zhen have similar ideas.
Although the man in white didn't say much, the amount of information revealed by this contact was indeed a lot.
First, it was confirmed that the man in white was chasing the woman to the inn, but I don't know why.
Second, the man in white appeared here to question the whereabouts of the team, on the one hand, he knew that the woman's disappearance was related to Qi Zhen's team or to be precise, Lin Xiao, then he must have followed behind and saw the two of them together; On the other hand, it also shows that the strong strength shown by the man in white was lost in this situation.
Third, the man in white didn't know why, he told Qi Zhen's team to go to Jiuzi to find someone, but he didn't move to look for it, was there any reason why he couldn't tell anyone, or was this matter itself a trap?
Fourth, let Qi Zhen's team find someone and go to him after they find him, how to find it? Where to look? Why should you look for it?
So much information filled Qi Zhen's mind in one go, and I believe it was the same problem that plagued Li Qiang at this time.
Besides, it is getting late now, which is very unfavorable for the team that is now black-eyed, and they must rest in Wuhu for the night and carefully discuss the next countermeasures.
While speaking, everyone finally entered Wuhu City.
Qi Zhenwan declined Zhang Dacai's request to invite everyone to the door.
Zhang Dacai was not reluctant, knowing that they still had important matters, so he took the five people to the inn he was familiar with to settle down, and after expressing his gratitude, he left the inn and went home.
In the room of the inn, the team of five people sat together, each with their own thoughts.
