Chapter Twenty-Nine: Confusion
After the task was completed, Mo Qianying finally drove Hua Feihua away, and then headed alone to the top of the mountain where the inner hall was located. The eighteen-storey building of the inner hall is built on top of the cliff, and only players with the qualification of inner disciples will have the opportunity to see it.
Perhaps it is also the reason why there are fewer people, the game company is obviously lazy when building the scene here, except for some necessary scenes, the inner door, which is known as the elite of the Tang Gate, is not as brilliant as most people imagined. From the moment Mo Qianying stepped into the first floor, he felt this strange atmosphere.
In the dim light, NPCs who are silent like ghosts shuttle through the shadows, these are the inner disciples who are responsible for transmitting information from all over the world. When Mo Qianying came in, they all turned their heads to take a look, and that kind of thriller-like scene made Mo Qianying can't help but stand on end.
"This place is as obnoxious as ever." Mo Qianying said, but there was a smile on his face, and he went straight through the lobby on the first floor, and went up the stairs to the second floor, where the key NPC he was looking for stayed on the second floor.
The second floor is a little darker than the first floor, and the cloisters here are like a labyrinth. If it weren't for the fact that Mo Qianying had spent a lot of time studying the map here, I was afraid that not only would she not find the person she was looking for, but it would be a question of whether she could go out or not.
Although Mo Qianying can get through the maze here with his memory, it is still difficult to find a specific NPC, because this is actually a defensive barrier of the inner door, and all NPCs will move irregularly between the various defense nodes, and to find someone among these NPCs, you must travel between the defense nodes.
Mo Qianying has no good way to do this, so she can only follow the patrol path of the NPC to find it, and along the way she meets a lot of inner disciples like wandering spirits, and the game sets most of the NPCs as taciturn middle-aged people, and their whole bodies are full of the most elite equipment of the Tang Sect, which is one of the top combat power of the Tang Sect.
Seeing these mechanical NPCs, Mo Qianying instead felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart, he had hid in this place when he decided to take revenge on the Blood Lock Dragon City in his previous life. Every day, he faces these NPCs who don't understand human nature, but he feels that they are more reassuring to him than those living people outside.
Shaking off the strange thoughts in his mind, Mo Qianying continued down the corridor to the center of the second floor, which was the core of the entire defense labyrinth, and the control of all the mechanisms was completed here. Therefore, the person who is guarding here is an elder of the Tang Sect with a golden Tang character embroidered on his left chest.
The guard elder glanced at the embroidery thread on Mo Qianying's chest, and said casually, "Black Iron disciple, please leave." ”
This was a warning, and Mo Qianying immediately took a step back, then turned his head to look down the aisle on the left. There happened to be a patrolling inner disciple passing by, and he glanced at Mo Qianying intentionally or unintentionally.
Mo Qianying waited for a minute, then took another step forward, and the Elder Shouguan issued another warning. Mo Qianying took a step back as she had done last time, then turned her head to look down the aisle on the left. This time, it was another inner hall disciple who walked by, and he just happened to turn his head to glance at Mo Qianying.
This is a setting on the second floor, and whenever the guard elder gives a warning, the nearby aisle will refresh a patrolling inner disciple. This hidden setting was discovered when Mo Qianying hid here for two months, and when he found out, he used it to tease NPCs to pass the time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.
When the fifth patrol NPC came out, Mo Qianying's eyes lit up, and she followed with a muffled voice. He didn't start the quest directly, but silently followed behind the NPC. In this state, he is still in the state of patrolling NPCs, and must wait for him to actively contact the player.
"What are you doing with me?"
A deep voice broke the silence on the second floor, and Mo Qianying was in good spirits, and immediately walked to the NPC's side and whispered, "Mo Qianying has seen Senior Brother Zhong. ”
"You know my name?" The name on the top of the NPC's head beside him had changed at this time, from a patrol disciple to Zhong Qing.
"I was entrusted by someone to ask you to learn about an old story of the Tang Sect." Mo Qianying quietly revealed the Tang Sect Sect Sect Sect Order.
The moment Zhong Qing saw the Tang Sect Sect's order, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then the light in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he raised his hand to suppress Mo Qianying's hand, and resumed his patrol state.
At the moment when the Tang Sect Grandmaster Order in Mo Qianying's hand was suppressed, another NPC walked around the corner of the face. Zhong Qing's eyes swept the aisle, then he stopped and turned to look at Mo Qianying, and whispered, "You have two minutes." ”
"What happened in Qinglong Town seventeen years ago?" Mo Qianying didn't go around in circles and asked directly.
"At that time, I was passing by there and found a distress signal from a disciple of the Tang Sect, and before I could get closer, I was intercepted and killed by four people. I fled all the way to Stormfall City, and eventually killed all four of my pursuers. Then I returned to the Tang Sect and heard the news that the head of the sect had died and the Great Grandmaster had defected. Zhong Qing replied simply.
"Looks like you didn't believe it." Mo Qianying said tentatively.
"I only believe what I see." Zhong Qing replied with a cold face.
"There's a problem with those four people?" Mo Qianying sensed something.
"Shenfeng Gate, Jade Dragon Villa, Tianwang Mountain, Xia Wangfu." Zhong Qing said the names of the four sects in one breath.
Mo Qianying was stunned when she heard this, and smiled bitterly: "It seems that someone wants to die in the Tang Sect!" ”
"So it's not easy to be in charge now." Zhong Qing suddenly came out of nowhere.
"So I misunderstood him......" Mo Qianying smiled, seeing that there was not much time left, he quickly asked one last question: "The city lord of Wind Fall City was killed recently, what do you think?" ”
"The city lord of Fengzhui City inherited the Xia Wangfu, and participated in the massacre of Qinglong Town back then." Zhong Qing frowned, "If you want to know more, you can go to the Demon Valley outside the Saiwai Group, where the Heavenly List master of the Xia King's Mansion is hiding, you can know something from his mouth." ”
The Demon Valley is a level 40 map, which can only be entered after the opening of the Mobei Corridor, and the core area is a level 70 advanced map. Mo Qianying estimated that according to her current strength, she would really not be able to go for a while. He remembered Lin Yan's matter, and hurriedly asked again: "By the way, do you think the person who killed the city lord of Wind Falling City will have something to do with the Qinglong Town Bloody Case?" ”
Zhong Qing looked at him and was silent for a moment, and replied, "It's related, but I advise you not to wade into this troubled water...... At least until you have the ability to revive the Tang Sect. ”
Mo Qianying wanted to continue to ask, but the name on Zhong Qing's head changed back to a patrol disciple again, and it was obvious that all the quest prompts were over here, and he would not have any more responses.
However, this short two-minute conversation allowed Mo Qianying to figure out two most important things. The first thing is that among the people who intercepted and killed the former head of the Tang Sect back then, there were at least four sects involved in it, and combined with the information tracked down by Mo Qianying in his previous life, this number was only a lot more. It's just that in the previous life, he relied on force to complete the inheritance of the Great Grandmaster, but he didn't know anything about the inside story of the head being killed.
The second thing stems from Zhong Qing's last warning, it is obvious that Lin Yan's current large-scale mission involves a great impact, Zhong Qing's words are the standard, and being able to revive the Tang Sect means that he has at least obtained the title of Great Grandmaster. If this is the minimum requirement of the task, Lin Yan's progress is not too fast.
Mo Qianying had a headache at the increasingly chaotic divergence in front of him, and he needed some time to sort out the intertwined information, but another voice in his heart was telling him that time was running out.
"Maybe it's time to find out Lin Xiao's guy." Mo Qianying sighed and walked out of the gloomy inner hall, looking out at the mountains in the distance. He was already familiar with this scene, but now when he walked out of here again and took in the bright scenery in his eyes, he felt a kind of trance of time and space at this moment, and suddenly had a sigh in his heart.
Smiling self-deprecatingly, Mo Qianying turned and walked down the stairs beside her. Now that the Great Grandmaster task has been broken, he will definitely not be able to catch up with Lin Yan's progress for a while. The only thing that can be done at the moment is to follow the original prompt in the quest chain and find the only son of the previous generation.
"I didn't expect to go around and go back to the same place." Mo Qianying couldn't help but sigh, "Life is really full of malice!" With that, he smiled self-deprecatingly, turned and walked towards the main hall.
