Chapter 104: Strange Town

Before the sun set, I finally brushed off my red name.

The melee is too messy, and I don't know how many people my skills have killed, but I can't fight any bosses, so I can only rely on the mobs to remove the red name little by little, raise my head and let out a sigh, and finally be able to take a break.

The sea is always the right time, and as soon as it stops for a moment, the news arrives as promised.

"Xiaoyu, is there anything going on tomorrow? If you're okay, come and have some drinks with me. ”

Today's situation is special, I shouldn't have refused, but it's dark and the road is far away, I really can't raise the motivation to go out, laziness overcomes emotion, so I have the idea of resigning: "Brother Hai, don't drink, let's go and get together again when you have time, rest early today, if you really can't sleep, let's go to practice together." ”

The other side was silent for a long time, which made me a little worried, for fear of rejecting his kindness and being disgusted by him.

"When you come to the barracks, just a few of us, no one else will bring it."

The hanging heart can finally be put down.

At the barracks, in the evening, the NPCs were patrolling, and the general when the [Tomb of the Celestial Master] was opened also became a resident NPC, observing the movements of the [Tomb of the Celestial Master] at the observatory every day.

Waiting for them in the sea, I was bored and talked to the general.

"General, the tomb has been open for a while, and it is safe and sound, why do you bother to monitor it every day?"

The general put down the binoculars in his hand and turned his head to look at me, his expression serious, and he did not relax for half a minute.

He walked down the stage slowly, his steps heavy on the steps.

"The difference between the words, the Heavenly Master's mana was monstrous, and he was powerful in the world, but he was hidden in Zhensoul Mountain in his later years, and the world thought that the Heavenly Master would die scattered and disappeared, but I never thought that on the day the Heavenly Master returned to the west, there was a huge tomb here, and the Imperial City had sent people to check it, but it was obstructed by strange forces and suffered heavy losses."

What the general said, I naturally know, after all, it is someone who has personally experienced it.

But this reason, I was confused, other people's tombs are placed in some tomb guards, and you can't rob the tomb, so you will monitor it, what is the reason?

I shook my head, laughing at their ridiculous idea: "It's just trying to take the secret method of the treasure left by the Heavenly Master, why do you have to keep an eye on it day and night with such fanfare?" ”

The general looked around left and right, and walked up to me: "Hehe, it's a little bad for the young man to think about it like this, if it's really coveted, when the tomb is safe and sound, why don't we explore and take the treasure, but wait for it to start announcing the world, and let you come and go as you like?" ”

In this case, there is indeed some truth in this, the Imperial City will inevitably know about such a major event as the fall of the Heavenly Master, and according to him, he has already gone in to check it once, but he has encountered resistance and returned in vain.

And when there is really something to be afraid of again, it is when the [Tomb of the Heavenly Master] is officially lifted and opened to the public.

I turned my head and asked, and I always felt that there was something in the general's words: "General, what do you mean is that there is an inaccessible existence in the imperial city in the tomb?" That's why we need the participation of these four-way rangers? ”

He nodded slightly, but wasn't entirely sure of my assumptions.

"Shaoxia, let me ask you, after death, if it has not dissipated, what kind of species is it?"

This question asked, how could I not understand common sense things, and blurted out directly: "Do you still need to ask, of course it's a ghost?" Some of them are powerful, maybe they will become immortals~"

The general just smiled and said nothing, then turned his head and continued to climb the platform, observing closely.

However, his reminder also really made me realize something.

After entering the tomb, except for the mechanism device, the rest of the resistance monsters are all skeleton types without exception.

"It's all ghosts?"

Bold ideas sprouted, and they also led my thoughts to the Heavenly Master.

"Could it be that after the death of the Heavenly Master, he became a ghost clan? After the change of race, the strength has never disappeared, which makes the Imperial City of the Race extremely fearful? ”

"Xiaoyu!"

As I meditated, the sea beckoned to me from afar.

There is no one else beside him, only Xiao Ai and Xiao Wang.

"Just the four of us?" I asked, frowning, too incomprehensible about the dispatch of other people's hands.

The sea is calm: "Four is not enough? With such a strong holy light, the three of us each occupy a branch of the warrior department, and you two are still hiding professions, so the lineup is very strong, right? Do you have to send a division to farm dungeons? ”

I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, no, Brother Hai, it's good that you can trust us, I'm afraid that you will lose the chain when the time comes." ”

When the dungeon was chosen, everyone had different opinions, the sea insisted on choosing [Savage Tribe], but Xiao Ai wanted to enter the new dungeon to explore, the brother and sister rarely had different opinions, and I enjoyed watching from the sidelines.

Xiao Wang made peace from it and persuaded the sea: "Brother Hai, don't argue, let's relax today, [Wild Tribe] brushes hard, and there are few of us, there is no need to touch the stab, or listen to the eldest lady, enter the new dungeon to experience the experience, I heard that the setting inside is more complicated, very interesting." ”

Good advice finally stopped the argument between the two sides, Xiao Ai is also ignorant, the sea is in a bad mood now, she has been depressed to the limit, and she doesn't say to be considerate of her brother.

Children of rich families, no matter how sensible they are, always have a temper tantrum, and they are very tough.

The new dungeon has just opened today, and no one has successfully cleared the level, and it is said that the equipment strength requirements are one thing, but it requires more wisdom.

[Strange Town]: Special Dungeon

Capacity: 10 people or less (including 10 people)

Quest Level: 40-60

Description: The once rich town has suddenly become a terrifying place that is difficult for people to approach, and it is said that the people in the village believe in the demon king, so as to sacrifice their own lives, just to obtain immortality.

Entering the dungeon, four people appear at an intersection, leading to different paths in four directions.

But at the end of the road in all four directions, you can see houses and trees.

A street sign in the center of the bypass marked four directions, and the crows above were wailing and screaming.

"Brother, where are we going?"

It's difficult at the beginning.,There's no hint at all.,It's all about letting players choose a random direction.,Xiao Ai is not very assertive.,It still has to look at the meaning of the sea.。

However, before we could make a choice, a vague figure appeared at the intersection, holding a kerosene lamp in his hand, creaking.

We hurriedly took out our weapons and aimed them at him, ready to strike.

But the figure did not make any attack, but "giggled", and the laughter was hollow and evil, and the listeners were stunned.

Then, the figure spoke eloquently and eloquently, and people were stunned when they heard it.

"Mountain God Painting Sacred Mountain"

"Sky Cloud White Book White Cloud Sky"

"The phoenix dances and the phoenix"

"Springs and springs"

Anyway, we've got a weird note in our inventory with this clueless poem written on it.

"What do you mean? Let's make pairs? Or write poetry? Xiao Wang flipped through the slip of paper and checked it again and again, but found no other clues.

When he raised his head, the figure had disappeared, and the empty intersection had regained its silence, and a faint mist gradually drifted around him, obscuring the vision in the distance.

"Don't be stunned, there will be no progress here, let's just pick one and see how the situation is first." The sea put away the note and pointed the course for the hesitant team.

The three of us followed the sea, going all the way to the east, drifting away in the mist.

Hundreds of meters in a hazy way, not a single monster appeared, and the road was desolate, and there was nothing left and right, but we always felt that something inexplicable was staring at us in the dark.

Xiao Ai clutched the arm of the sea tightly, a little scared.

After walking for a long time, Xiao Wang was a little impatient: "Brother Hai, why is it that the house village is not far away, but it is always difficult to reach it when walking?" ”

Not only him, but we were all aware of this, and the house was not far away, but it was never possible to find it.

I looked down and thought about it, this scene I had learned in the cellar of Yinxian Village was nothing more than some kind of illusion or illusion.

"Brother Hai, Xiao Wang and I are waiting here, and you and Xiao Ai continue to move forward, so that we can know if we are standing still or if the town is really far away."

The method is good, but the sea does not agree with the allocation of personnel.

"You and Xiao Ai stay, you are still a warlock profession, your body is too brittle, I have enough defense, and I can still have a state blessing with Xiao Wang, and I won't be seconds when I encounter danger."

After the distribution, the sea and the little dynasty walked forward, gradually sinking into the mist, and after a short time they were out of sight.

"How is Brother Hai? Have you ever reached the end? "I talked to them in the team information board, but I got a negative answer.

Xiao Ai looked at me beside me and frowned, a little anxious: "Xingyu, do you have any clues?" It's scary, I don't want to stay anymore. ”

I'm not sure either, but the poem given by the person at the beginning should be useful in it.

Dahai and Xiao Wang walked back from the fog, and the two of them were also full of frustration.

"Brother Hai, let me tell you my speculation, that poem is a 'palindromic poem', it can be read smoothly in front and backward, and it is symmetrical on the left and right, and the same is true of the crossroads here, just like that poem, if you want to go to one side, I think you should need the same number of people on the symmetrical road."

My explanation is quite brief, and everyone can understand it.

"What do you mean? If we want to go to the town on the east side, on the opposite side of the east side, that is, on the west side, there must be the same number of people on the west road, so that the two sides are symmetrical, so that we can reach the town smoothly? ”

I nodded, at least for now.

The sea looked at Xiao Ai: "Then Xiao Ai will follow me, let Xiao Wang follow you, we will wait for you here, you go to the west road, voice contact when you cross the intersection, let's go forward together." ”

The plan was clear, and Xiao Wang and I left in the opposite direction.

As planned, we continued on our way, and the town, which had been out of reach, gradually approached, until we clearly felt the railing of the house, and then we were relieved.

"Xiaoyu, I really have you, and I really let you be right!"

The sea, do you boast so much about people?

What is Meng, I am the real material!

"Brother Hai, you and Xiaoai pay attention to safety, contact us in time if there is anything, and Brother Wang and I will go in and check it out."

"Okay."

To be on the safe side, Xiao Wang added a series of buff states to me, and I walked in front, holding the staff carefully.

It is said to be a town, but this place is actually not big, just like a concentrated household, there are only twenty or thirty houses, but they are clustered together and connected together, and it looks quite large.

Pushing open the door of a house, inside is the courtyard that has been shelved for a long time, full of dead leaves and messy brooms, scattered haphazardly, no one to clean up.

The empty houses are surrounded in a circle, just like the courtyard, but there is more fog and no sunlight, and it looks very gloomy.

"Xiao Yu", Xiao Wang called me from behind, I turned around, he was holding the note in his hand, explaining to me.

"I think that the four things mentioned in this poem, 'mountain', 'sky', phoenix', and 'spring' should be different things that we need to look for in the four towns, so we need to pay attention to the relevant things in the corresponding towns, maybe we can get something. ”

I agree with his speculation, but it's impossible to talk about which town corresponds to which thing, so it's too cumbersome to find them one by one.

Xiao Wang had some ideas, and continued to explain on the poem: "Chinese culture, since ancient times, has paid attention to the north and south, left west and right east, since the intersection is specially set up directional signs, I think, is to remind us to combine this method to see, so it seems that the poems are two sentences, respectively, 'mountain' and 'spring'." ”

"So how do you tell the difference between east and west? How to determine the second and third sentences? ”

"In ancient times, the left was often up, the right was down, the left was west, the right was east, and the west was naturally on top of the east, so in contrast, our side was the west, it should be 'heaven', and the sea brother should be 'phoenix'."

This explanation made me suddenly realize that although I don't know if it's right, at least it sounds reasonable, and it's better than having no brains.

And when this inference was shared with the sea, he also expressed his approval, saying that he and Xiao Ai would go to the town to find things related to "phoenix".

"Brother Wang, then look at it like this, let's just look up at the sky here?"

My reply Xiao Wang did not deny, but also kindly reminded me: "This is possible, but not necessarily, after all, 'heaven' may be a symbol of something, and we may also need to look for something related to symbolic things." ”

Xiao Wang's worries were confirmed, and when he looked up at that day, there was nothing but darkness.

"Xiaoyu, since there is no clue in the subjective sense of the sky, then we should consider the objective issue, just like the 'Tianyun Baishu Baiyuntian' mentioned in the poem, both sides revolve around the word 'book', let's look for the books here to see if there are some books that can be useful."
