Chapter 5: The Ruins of Hanhuaming
Nangong Mansion is located in the southern suburbs of Longcheng.
There are many black wolves roaming the southern suburbs, and this cunning monster is extremely difficult, lurking on both sides of the road, and will attack them in groups if they find a living person.
March used his superb light skills to avoid the black wolf and move forward in a roundabout way. Since I didn't take the main road, I inevitably got lost, and I came to a ruin. She looked around, and the rubble and wood chips were scorched, and the surrounding area was bare, and there should have been a row of wooden houses destroyed by fire. Not far away, a young man was sitting on a rock, panting, and March walked up to him and asked, "Is there anything I need help with?" ”
"I was chased by a group of black wolves just now, and I lost my package in a panic, can you help me pick it up?"
"No problem."
"Thank you so much! I'm waiting for you here. ”
After some conversation, March confirmed that he was an NPC and simply took over the task. She is familiar with this kind of finding task, and the package must be in the place where the wolves gather, and where the wolves are nearby, where to find it, it is right.
Using light power to fish out the package from the wolf pile, he went around in the southern suburbs to get rid of the black wolf in hot pursuit, and within a quarter of an hour, it was successfully completed in March. After the NPC finished saying her words of gratitude, she said straight to the point: "Do you know how to get to Nangong Mansion?" ”
"It's a little further in this direction." NPCs show the way.
March nodded, pointed to the ruins and asked, "What is this place?" ”
"This was originally the Beichen family's mansion, but it was destroyed in a fire ten years ago."
"What about the people of the Beichen family?"
"After the fire, no one saw them again, and it is said that they were destroyed by the enemy, and they were set on fire to destroy the corpses."
March was stunned. Isn't it, why is the Beichen family so unlucky? A big family says that if you destroy the door, you will destroy the door?
"The big family has a large population, not everyone lives here, and there should be a few children traveling outside." The NPC added, "It's just that even if there are survivors, most of them are incognito and hard to find. ”
"Has the government found the murderer?"
"Nope. However, I heard that the Nangong family is the most suspicious. ”
March asks a few more questions, but the NPC doesn't answer and leaves with the package. She knew that she couldn't ask anything more, so she continued to hurry to Nangong Mansion while thinking about it.
If you want to destroy Beichen, there are very few forces that can do it, and the Nangong family is indeed very suspicious. Although the two families are descendants of heroes, and their ancestors fought side by side, they both belong to the Assassin family, and there is a competitive relationship, and it is normal for future generations to have feuds. It's just that the catastrophe is coming, but Nangong has done this to destroy the door, if the Beichen family really has no survivors, it will cut off the vitality of the whole world, and the Nangong family itself will have no way to live, which is incomprehensible.
No wonder Ji Zixun repeatedly reminded her to be careful of the Nangong family, beware of assassins, she is simply crazy...... Even if the descendants of the Beichen family are found, it seems to be a difficult task to let them work together to pass the test of Pangu...... Is this the difficulty? Moreover, most of the families with hatred are more than this pair, right?
A large mansion with black tiles and white walls comes into view, and a plaque of Nangong hangs on the gate. March informed the guards at the gate of his identity and was easily released.
I'm afraid that it's easy to get in and hard to get out, March crossed the threshold with trepidation, and the vermilion door slowly closed behind her.

Shou Hang closed the door and turned to look at the people in the room.
There was only one person in the room, leaning against the window, a masked scarf, a night suit, and the standard Assassin attire. The female assassin with short white hair looked at him with a calm expression: "There is something to say." ”
"I heard, your surname is Beichen?"
"What's the matter?" The female assassin asked rhetorically, not in the slightest surprise or shame that her identity had been revealed.
"Would you like to work with me?" Conservation laughed.
"What cooperation?"
"Eliminate the catastrophe and protect the world."
"I'm sorry, you're looking for the wrong person." The female assassin clasped her arms, "The Destiny of the Beichen family is not me. ”
"Who else are the survivors of the Beichen family?"
"No comment."
"It's not a task that can be done by one person."
The female assassin fell silent. After a while, she said, "If my brother is still alive, it should be him, he is the best assassin of our generation." However, I don't know where he is either. ”
A scene comes to mind, after the fire, under the cover of night, the seven-year-old sits alone in the rubble and cries.
"Sleepy?" A familiar call sounded around him.
"Brother!" She looked up in surprise and saw a teenage boy in black standing in front of her, who was none other than her brother who had gone to Flame Island to cultivate two years ago.
"Who did it?" The boy's voice was calm.
"It's the Nangong family. I...... I must take revenge! She wiped her face and gritted her teeth.
"Leave the matter of revenge to me." The boy said.
From beginning to end, his tone was so plain, a qualified assassin would not show his feelings. But Xiao Mei knew that what he said, he would definitely do it.
After that day, she never saw her brother again.
"What's your brother's name?" The voice of conservation interrupted her recollection.
She closed her eyes and said softly:
"Printed.
Beichen is absolutely indestructible. ”
"Thank you."
"He's not going to work with you. Because, it was Nangong who destroyed the Beichen family. ”
Shouheng smiled bitterly, he couldn't imagine that these two families had a deep feud in the sea of blood, so he could only hope that Yin Jue was the role played by the player, at least, there was still something to talk about with the player.
"Thank you anyway." He said. In any case, this intelligence was of great help to him.
"When you find out about his whereabouts, I hope you can tell me." Shallow Mei stared at the ground, "I'm looking for him too." ”
"No problem, I'll leave you a 'message'." Conservation agreed.
*
Shenzhou Island, Dragon City.
"Yutian, you're here too. It's a pity that I was a step too late and didn't see your little sister. Ji Zixun smiled at the young man who walked into the pharmacy.
"I didn't expect that the little junior sister would also return to China. Where did she go? The man known as "Yutian" had short dark green hair, a handsome face, a white robe, and a medicine pot hanging from his waist.
"I went to Nangong's house to see a doctor."
"Oh. Is there anything you can do with the help of the apprentices? Yuda rolled up his sleeves.
"The herbs I received two days ago should arrive, so I'll go out and sit for me for a consultation."
Yutian answered. Someone happened to come to the door, and he smiled and motioned for the other person to reach out and put his finger on the patient's wrist.
*
March sat in front of the bed, taking the patient's pulse, his brow furrowed.
"How?" Nangong Yanzhu asked softly.
"The pulse is heavy and weak, and the main illness is inside. His illness is in the internal organs. March looked solemn, "I'm going to administer needles to patients, can Miss Nangong help me prepare something?" ”
After asking, March secretly pinched a sweat. After thinking about it, she felt that the safest plan was to pretend to be an NPC, so on the way to Nangong Mansion, she used the "disguise technique" and turned herself into a passerby's face
It stands to reason that this kind of chores can be ordered to the next person, but she wants to ask this, why? Because it is the NPC's job to let the player run errands, in most role-playing games, even if the protagonist is a miracle and every second, the aunt on the side of the road will still unceremoniously ask the protagonist to help find people and things, catch chickens and dogs.
Yanzhu really didn't suspect it, and went out to get something as she told him.
March's heart was relieved, and he was in the mood to look at the black-haired boy lying on the bed.
This person is Nangong Yanzhu's half-brother, sixteen years old, named Langchen, who has been weak and sick since he was a child, lingering on the sickbed. A week ago, his condition suddenly worsened and he fell unconscious. Since he is the only male in the generation of the Nangong family, the clan attaches great importance to it, and they look for doctors and medicines everywhere, and they find Ji Zixun here.
March's eyes were filled with sympathy. The teenager was actually poisoned. He was born deficient, his physique was poor, and he was poisoned a week ago, so he was "seriously ill". The problem is that the assassin often quenches poison his weapons, and is already very proficient in poison/medicine, and most of the people who can poison without being detected are his cronies, or have great power in the Nangong family. If she tells the truth, she will inevitably invite trouble.
It's a pity, Nangong Langchen has good facial features, and most of them are handsome guys when they grow up, and this appearance has crushed at least ninety-five percent of the NPCs, alas, since ancient times, he has been famous......
Nangong Langchen is an NPC, there is no doubt about this - he has been in a coma in bed for a week, and this world has only been created for about a week, if there is a player in charge of playing this role, I can't imagine what kind of hellish experience it is, I guess I will apply to leave on the first day and go to Lang in another world......
In less than a pillar of incense, Yanzhu brought a bunch of miscellaneous things that March needed, and it seems that he must have run errands for NPCs in normal times.
"Thank you, Miss Nangong." March took it with a smile, took out a pack of golden needles, and did an acupuncture on Nangong Langchen's back.
"How's my brother doing?" After the acupuncture, Yanzhu asked.
"As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread. Brother Ling was born with deficiencies and suffered from chronic diseases, which could not be cured overnight. I gave him an injection every day, and he may get better slowly. ”
"In that case, the girl might as well stay in our house for a few days, so as not to run back and forth and waste her energy in vain." Yanzhu smiled.
"Then I'll be respectful and obey." March was helpless and agreed to come down.
It seems that the strategy of procrastination is not working. This Nangong Langchen, should it be cured?
