Volume 1 Never with a Sword Chapter 42 The Road Is Uneven
The nematode is also known as the hair-shaped snake, and the local name is the copper wire snake or tencel. The body of the insect is slender, round-lined, like iron wire, and black-brown. The insect body is very active outside the body and often has a habit of tying knots on its own.
Adult nematodes live in swamps, ponds, streams, ditches and other water bodies, and occasionally infect humans, causing nematomorphiasis, which is more common in women than men. Male and female mate to lay eggs, and the larvae in the eggs hatch into the body of insects (grasshoppers, crickets, cockroaches, beetles, etc.) to develop into larvae, and the insects enter the water, and the larvae leave the host and develop into adults in the water.

Overlord Spider: ?? Level. Spiders (insects). It got its name because of its large size. The powerful chelicerae can easily break through the carapace and are natural enemies of poison ivy. Living alone, eating only one or two meals a month, can go on a hunger strike for up to two months, except for those parasitized by iron worms, they will change from a sedentary type to a nomadic type, and eat endlessly every day. A safari spider can cause indelible damage to the surrounding species, and it is said that such a spider will eventually turn into a monster. Sedentary types are very clean and will clean their webs from time to time, but young spiders do not do this. Good at skills [Spider Silk Trap], [Raid], [Deadly Toxin], [Kick Hair]. When attacking a target of lower level than you, all stats are increased by 5%. When parasitized by a nematode, [Listen to the Wind] becomes [Raid].
Wire worms: (slightly) parasitize in the body of the worm and break out once the host encounters water. (omitted)
"I almost died!"
The next day, Tu Shi happily showed off the deeds of the previous night to the two masters.
Master Zuo said with a look of course: "If you can't even get a little bug, you should really die once." Continue to practice swords, and don't lose my face next time. β
Master Right said: "If it weren't for the poison ivy that you killed in the cave field, the overlord spider would not be short of food, how could it come to the door?" That's what I told you not to do indiscriminately. People think they are detached from nature and surrender to heaven and earth, but they don't know that there is a destiny in the underworld, and the cause will be fruitful. The origin is destined to destroy the sky, and the catastrophe will be empty; Zhuang Zhouhua butterfly is free, just because the world is a cage. Without further ado, today we will review the "Taishang Lingbao Five Symbolic Sequences" ......"
When he walked out of the right wing, Tu Shi was a little dizzy. Oops, I don't know if Master Right found out that he was thinking crankily when listening to the scriptures, and used some kind of method to let him clearly remember the scriptures in his mind...... By the way, the lotus seed essential oil does have a doorway, and it actually refreshed all the injuries on his body, and he doesn't need to refresh it by suicide resurrection like the last time he fought the boss of the novice village.
It is observed that there should be only one safari-type overlord spider refreshed from the corpse forest, and the steward of the Qi family who escaped death has also decided to send additional guards, so he will probably be able to rest easy in the next few days. It's really stuffy to stay over there all day, Tu Shi decided to go shopping, and first find out the situation in Beicheng, and when the students come from other cities, they can also do their best to be landlords and take them around to play, haha.
So Tu Shi began to go shopping, aimlessly.
There are two major institutions in the North City, one is the Yamen and the other is the City Lord's Mansion.
When it comes to the Yamen, many people will think of the place where the "Mirror Hangs High" plaque in the costume TV series, there are drums in front of the door to sound grievances, and there is a special trial of cases by the Lord Qingtian, in fact, the trial of cases is only one of the functions of the Yamen. The yamen is also called the official government, and the officials appointed by the imperial court are all working in the yamen, in addition to the fact that there are many supernumerary personnel who have no official status, such as the master, the arrester, etc., according to today's words, the master is in the office, and the arrest is the law enforcement team.
The City Lord's Mansion is more special.,It's not directly under the court.,But directly under the prince.,Powerful and powerless.,If you have any authority.,It's probably responsible for dealing with players.γ Lei Zhenyu, the lord of Yibei City, was appointed by Prince Ji, and there were one hundred private troops of Prince Ji as guards, these guards were the real armed forces in the city, well-trained, capable of advancing and retreating, and their combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of a mere fast catch.
chatted with NPCs randomly according to the usual practice, and found that the tasks available were piled up, which frightened Tu Shi to quickly stay away from the NPCs. Yibei City is not comparable to a novice village, with a population of tens of thousands, and one task per person is enough for Tu Shi not to do anything else in the next half a year. "Qiankun" is the most diverse sandbox game ever, the plot and characters are generated by chaos, there will be no repetitive plots and NPCs (even if they die), the entire game structure is so free that there is no need to specifically specify the word "freedom", not those games that hang the name of "high freedom" but everything is set in advance, and the world is so vast that players don't know how to start...... Now Tu Shi clearly understands this.
He made up his mind to sift through NPCs when he did the quest. The kind that people live well will not be harassed, and those who need help in difficulties can come forward to talk; In addition, NPCs who already know may wish to help them do tasks and continue to strengthen their relationship...... Damn, it's exactly like the real world. A person's life is limited, and the people and things he can contact are also limited.
Take the beggar on the street, Tu Shi will have some sympathy for him, but not much sympathy. In his impression, beggars are not a vulnerable group, not to mention that in martial arts novels, beggars have established a beggar gang that is organized, disciplined, and even has their own martial arts secrets, let's just say that in reality, how many professional beggars are there who beg during the day and sleep in villas at night? Tu Shi is more willing to give money to the person who sings with the guitar, but the other party is a performer, while some beggars are sound and clear-headed, and they can do a more decent job, but they are willing to degenerate. It is good that the masses of the people have compassion, but if the overflow of sympathy leads to the promotion of such unearned gains, then it is better to save it.
Tu Shi walked past the beggar, a little ashamed, he actually talked about others, which was not very polite. Because he felt guilty, he glanced at the beggar more, and found that the beggar's clothes were not very tattered, and they were somewhat familiar, etc......
"Season late?! How did you become like this? Didn't you leave Yibei City yesterday? β
The beggar looked up, his face was black and white, obviously caused by eating all the dust but not washing his face with water, and the sweat slid across his gray face, but he could barely see that it was Bao Jiwan himself. He was sitting on the ground, and when he saw Tu Shi, he was so excited that he wanted to stand up, and then probably couldn't stand up because he was paralyzed by sitting for a long time, and then he hid his face and cried. What about the goods? What about the old horse? If you still look like this, something bad must have happened.
"Come, go to my place and freshen up first."
When Tu Shi helped Bao Jiwan up, she found that Bao Jiwan had abrasions and bruises on her legs and arms, and the injuries were so much that they were like a girl in high heels rolling from the fifth floor along the stairs to the fourth floor and then buying one and getting one free to the third floor. Bao Jiwan was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, and he didn't wash his hands and held the food to eat, which shows how much he has suffered in the past few days.
When he returned to the courtyard with Bao Jiwan, Tu Shixian shouted: "Two mastersβI brought a friend backβ" Seeing that there was no movement in the left and right wings, and knowing that the teacher acquiesced in his behavior, he helped Bao Jiwan into his room, brought hot water, and then put away gauze, wound medicine and the novice clothes and pants that he had replaced, and then guarded the door. After a while, Bao Ji, who had finished grooming and bandaging, came out late, didn't say a word, first sighed, and his facial features were squeezed together.
Tu Shi has seen this look, the night before a relative failed to speculate in stocks and committed suicide by jumping off a building, he had such a look.
Sitting in the atrium, Bao Jiwan told his experience in the past few days, which is still a bit related to Tu Shi. The day before yesterday, Tu Shi rescued Bao Jiwan, and by the way, he sold all his gains in the poison ivy cave; Suddenly got a lot of poison ivy tail hooks, Bao Jiwan happily went to Kaiwufang (Yibeicheng Branch) to take off the goods, but when he took the silver ticket and wanted to go to the money bank to exchange, he found that someone was following, and he knew that it was likely to be targeted by someone with a heart. Perhaps because of the self-made relationship, Bao Jiwan is cautious, and it can be seen that he does not drink alcohol when he is in business, once he notices that someone is following, he immediately turns back to the inn and closes his door, and he has to be suspicious, and he must order a meal for three people at every meal, so that the people who follow him dare not move.
"I thought that because of the arrest of murderers on the street in the city in the past few days, as soon as the wind is tight, the thieves will not force their hands, who knows, ......" Bao Jiwan wrung his hands and ten fingers, and sighed leisurely.
Who knew that only one night later, a thief came in through the window, Bao Jiwan was asleep, and when he woke up, he found himself in another place, and there were two men with black cloth masks standing in front of him, dizzy, and knew that he had fallen into the incense. Needless to say, the next drama is known, the money from selling poison ivy tail hooks changed owners before it was hot, and a horse and a bag of goods were also hitched.
"What do they want horses and goods for?" Tu Shi asked. Those who rob money are not necessarily good at selling stolen goods, and the silver ticket can also be said to be redeemed at any time, and the rest of the things are tantamount to a hot potato, which is easy to attract the attention of people with a heart.
"They only rob money, my horse is ......"
It turned out that one of the strongmen saw that Bao Jiwan was dressed in simple clothes but was quite oily, and knew the truth of "grass covering pearls", so he forced Bao Jiwan to ask if there was another silver ticket hidden in Bao Jiwan. Bao Jiwan was cunning and rabbit three caves, of course, there were trustworthy people in Yibei City who took care of the life-saving money for him, so he only stiffened his neck and said no, so he was beaten up. Another strongman saw that Bao Jiwan was dying and didn't say anything, and he was about to be beaten to heaven, so he grabbed the person who did it, and said, "Is it really crazy, the wind is too tight now", and the person who did it said angrily, "This pig despises me and others, and the capital crime can be avoided, but the master wants to teach him a lesson", and knocked out Bao Jiwan. When Bao Ji returned to the inn in the evening, he saw that the old horse had had his throat cut, and most of his blood had flowed from the trough, and he was in a miserable death, and the goods were also damaged and stained, and he could not be sold.
At this point, the merchant's eyes were red. Over the years, he has traveled north and south, and it is not his wife and children who accompany him, not his parents, but this old horse. Early morning disclosure, cool at night, sunny day to escape the heat, rainy day canopy...... No matter when and where, the old horse is with him, and he is even closer than his family.
When you are lonely in the future, who will you talk to?
