You don't see Qin Shishu is too guarded, and the carved stone is made of three rhinoceros. Since ancient times, although there is a method of disgust with victory, the river naturally flows eastward. The Shu people have boasted for a thousand years, and the overflow is not close to Zhang Yilou. Filling the mouth and damaging the account, this matter may be ashamed.

- Du Fu's "Stone Rhino Walking"

————————————————————————————————————

Tu Shi sat in the right wing room sickly, breathing the "peach talisman" that made him feel calm, listening to the master chanting the classics, closing his eyes and thinking. The reason why it is a "peach talisman" instead of "a dragon in the sea of clouds" is because Master Right is afraid that he will be uncertain at the moment and fall into the illusion again and will not be able to extricate himself.

After looking at the scene, he collected three very important clues.

First, many of the deceased have signs of being bound by spider silk, but only the wrists, ankles and other joints are bound. Second, most of the dead who were partially bound were bitten to death, and the overlord spider had no teeth and could not gnaw on its prey; Third, the scene is basically human footprints, there are no paw prints of fierce beasts such as bears and tigers, and there are no traces left by the overlord spider except for spider silk, and the spider silk does not appear in the form of a web, and it is impossible for the overlord spider to stay on the ground as it was in the dead body.

What does this mean?

In addition to the Overlord Spider, another monster appeared and attacked the villagers. It can use spider silk to precisely bind the joints of villagers, and visually see that this overlord spider has turned on its intelligence. He sketched two images in his mind: one was a tyrannosaurus spider and the other was unknown, but what they had in common was that they could walk upright on their legs like a human.

Eight-legged, elephant-like giant overlord spider, human-like...... Walking upright on two legs?

Deriving this conclusion, Tu Shidu felt that his IQ might drop sharply. Well, maybe the overlord spider grew wings and then levitated in the air like a helicopter without landing, so it didn't leave a trace? Or is the overlord spider smart enough to remove the traces it left behind in time?

Depending on the situation, the overlord spider controlled the villagers first, and the other monster took the opportunity to eat. It's unclear whether the Overlord Spider cooperated with the monster (but the two probably didn't fight at the scene), and if so, it's not easy to stop them. And the worst thing is that these two monsters are likely to have cultivated into human form, which is the so-called "youkai".

Monsters and monsters, the difference between one word is very different. If the beast lives long enough, it has the opportunity to break through the racial limit, remove the transverse bone in the tongue, and can speak human language, this is a demon beast; Youkai can transform into a human form, have the appearance of a human, and have a strong stealth when lurking in the crowd, and once they launch destruction, they are invincible. If the overlord spider is a monster, Tu Shi's previous derivation is reasonable - monsters can indeed walk upright on two legs, which anyone who has watched the "Journey to the West" TV series knows.

Overlord Spider: (omitted) A safari type Overlord Spider will cause indelible damage to surrounding species, and it is said that such a Overlord Spider will eventually turn into a monster. (omitted)

Judging from the introduction, the overlord spider definitely has the potential to evolve into a monster, or even a monster. The most terrible thing is that the overlord spider is a different species (who has ever seen an ordinary spider grow so big), it is naturally more advanced than the big toad, and its intelligence has also improved a lot.

According to the rescued villagers, the youkai are indeed two people, one of whom can spew spider silk from his fingers.

Therefore, after the initial anger, Tu Shi quickly calmed down and stopped talking about "revenge". He is now level 18, he has no weapons in his hand, and his chances of winning are not great, and making a rash move will only repeat the mistakes of the Bai family's ghost house, and the defeat will be simple, complete and meaningless.

Master Zuo's words are still in my ears: It's not your fault that you don't have the strength, but it's your fault to take risks regardless of everything.

All he could do was imagine the scene of making moves against these two enemies, and refine the "Nine Mouths and Eight Methods" over and over again.

The hostile situation is generally clear, but there is one problem that still plagues Tu Shi. There are no dead bodies, but why are all the faces preserved? Is it a bloody sacrificial ritual? Or is it something else?

Before I knew it, a furnace of incense burned out. Tu Shi took a deep breath, and the smoke swept away. He is now more and more domineering, if the whole part of this room has not been reinforced by Master You with Dao techniques in advance, just his breath and breath will be like a storm passing through, which can make the window paper shredd.

Tu Shi got up and left the room, every step was slow, very slow, not like a young man, but like a dying old man, or even a walking corpse with a soul shoehorned in. The scabbard around his waist was elongated compared to before, because he now used "daisy" instead of "carved boat", and the two swords were very different in shape.

Master Zuo stood at the door of the left wing room and nodded at him, meaning that he had practiced his sword well today. Tu Shi was accustomed to Master Zuo's logic of "closing his eyes and thinking is equal to practicing swords", and naturally left the house.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and even if there is a quick capture to control the scene, the matter of Fengmenao Village still quickly spreads throughout Yibei City. Today, the government announced that it had sent many arresters to search for the murderer (it did not say whether the murderer was a man or a beast), but news came back on the same day, saying that three arresters had died in the line of duty, and there were no dead bodies. The Cave Wild Post Station, which had just been opened for a short time, was closed because the three young men of the Qi family, who had become a post officer, heard about it, cried and splashed at home, and were unwilling to go to work. Losing the supply point, players who were leveling up in the Cave Field suddenly felt the pressure and had to withdraw from Beicheng in advance, in this case, even the most crazy Xuanyuan family did not dare to try to find the murderer. The panic of the people of the North City is like a plague that has spread from the aborigines to the adventurers.

"Yu Qingfeng."

Tu Shi turned around, it was a headcatcher. The head catcher had a tense face, and the face that was no longer young was full of tiredness. Maybe the sudden events of this day were more dangerous than the experience of his life, so he overdrew all his energy? Tu Shi couldn't help but think so.

The head catcher leaned over slightly on the horse and said, "Lord Bao wants to ask you to do something." ”

System prompt: Do you accept the task "Send a message"?

Tu Shi came to the city lord's mansion with the letter, but was stopped by the steward, and was told that "the city lord will rush to the state capital in person today, and he will not return until ten days", so he had no choice but to leave the envelope and go back to hand it over. It's such a coincidence, something happened in Fengmenao Village today, and the Lei City Lord just left? What the hell is he going to do, he has to go out in person?

This question bothered Tu Shi, and he didn't understand it until he came to the yamen. The master met him, didn't say anything, and delivered the experience and honor points very happily, and then gave him a second task.

System prompt: Do you receive the quest "Crusade against Demon Beasts"?

Tu Shi nodded in the negative without hesitation.

He knew he couldn't win.

————————————————————————————————————

"What are you asking for! You're not a craftsman! Lu Lingchuan scolded.

"I want to know!" Lan Meng exclaimed.

The name of the game is "Milan Tailor", his real name is Lan Mengmeng, nicknamed Milan's little blacksmith (because of the mantra "I want to know", so he was teased with lyrics "She really really wants to know" - Jay Chou's songs were very popular in high school), representative of the English department, petite, round eyes, round face, milky voice, delicate and cute (but because of this, there are no suitors, even the younger students can treat her as a sister), very pleasing to the teacher, like to play Barbie, it's crazy when buying change clothes for the doll, Spend a few zeros without blinking. After graduating from high school, I chose a foreign language college, majoring in business translation (Italian), but I don't know why I ended up becoming a tour guide (and became a fan of AC Milan). When it came time for her to choose a career, she thought about it for three hours and chose to be a tailor, saying that she could design fashion ("Beautiful! ”）。 She was originally in Liangzhou, and after receiving the silver ticket sent by Tu Shi, she rushed to Yibei City to meet everyone.

Now Lu Lingchuan, Liu Hanshi, Lan Mengmeng, and Xiao Jiamin are chatting at Sun Bin's house. Sun Bin himself went outside in a wheelchair to bask in the sun, so that the juniors could chat more freely. Liu Dacai smiled and added tea to a few people, and Xiao Jia was not idle when chatting, dipping his fingers in tea and smearing it on the table, it is said that this practice will also increase experience points.

Lan Mengmeng grinded hard and finally forced Lu Lingchuan to speak. In fact, what Lu Lingchuan wanted to say was asked by Tu Shi as early as a few days ago, and Xiao Jia and Liu Dacaizi, who were present, had also heard it, so Lu Lingchuan didn't want to say it again.

He was talking about the carpenter's method of disgust.

It is said that because of the low status of craftsmen in ancient times, many unscrupulous employers would wantonly oppress and deduct wages, and when they felt deeply resentful, they would retaliate by disgust during the construction process, burying some items called "town things" in the house. When the employer moves in, the fortune of the whole family will deteriorate, and the family will be restless, sometimes injured or provoked by officials. In the worst case, it is a very vicious curse to suffer from a serious disease, a disaster, the death of a child, or even the destruction of a family in the worst case.

The "Luban Sutra" collects twenty-seven methods of aversion to victory, but not all of them are used to harm people, ten of which can help the occupants prosper their homes, and even increase their official ranks, which is called "auspicious and disgusting". For example, during the construction of the Cave no Lodge Station, the lead craftsman hid an ink cartridge and a pen in a wooden paddle, which would benefit the occupant's career, but if the pen was forked, the occupant would be dismissed.

Of course, the method of disgust is not a panacea. The Dujiangyan of Li Bing, a water conservancy expert in the Warring States Period, ensured that for 1,000 years in Shudi, "drought will lead water to infiltrate, and rain will stop the water gate, so the water and drought will follow the people, and if you don't know hunger, there will be no famine year, and the world is called Tianfu", in the Tang Dynasty, it finally irrigated the mouth and damaged the field, causing a catastrophe. The poet Du Fu wrote a poem "Stone Rhino Xing" for this reason, and clearly pointed out in the poem: This water conservancy project uses the method of disgust and victory, and the break is the retribution for using the demon method back then.

There is a corroborated legend in the carpentry - the one who built Zhang Yilou on the side of Jiangyan was the public loser, that is, Lu Ban himself. After the building was built, Lu Ban put a small wooden man carrying a burden in the recess of the beam, and put a grain of rice millet on each side of the burden to maintain the balance of the wooden man, leaving a sentence "The wooden man does not fall, and the water is not close to Shu". 1000 years later, that is, the year of the Dujiangyan break, before the flood, a large-scale rat plague broke out in Shudi, and all the millet that could be found was dragged out and eaten by the rats, so the wooden man who shouldered the proverb also fell due to loss of balance.

After hearing this, Lan Mengmeng blinked her round eyes and said adoringly: "It's amazing!" ”

Lu Lingchuan was very embarrassed. If you want to say why, it is that the carpentry ancestor is Lu Ban instead of his mentor Mozi, and there is still a little trouble between Lu Ban and Mozi in history...... That's why he didn't want to talk about carpentry, just as the Americans had to admit that spicy chicken was better than the colonel's chicken nuggets - too long for others to be ambitious.

Liu Han spoke: "Mengmeng, I want to know about the situation in Liangzhou." ”
