Chapter Ninety-Five: Ghosts and Wandering Spirits
The site of the Taiyin Festival, just opposite the City God Temple in Kowloon City, a remote building hidden in a narrow alley, is very inconspicuous from the outside, only to find that the area is very large after entering, but it is different from Xiao Buli's imagination, the decoration style here is very simple and simple, except for a huge altar surrounded by many ghost sculptures, there are no other superfluous decorations, but this makes this place a little more mysterious.
The people in the Taiyin Festival are all wearing plain robes such as black, white and gray, which looks quite solemn, because everyone's reputation here is basically indifferent, looking at the NPCs with brown and red names always gives people the illusion of walking into a monster pile.
Fortunately, as long as it was not hostile, the other party would not attack, and the group followed Bai Yunfei all the way into the main hall and came to an NPC named Qiu Changyan (Taiyin Law Elder).
Bai Yun flew up and handed over the task, and Qiu Changyan nodded.
"So you've already killed the corpse refiner Geng Lisong? Very good, you have done a very good job, you have won the friendship of the Taiyin Festival with your practical actions, and from now on, the door will be open to you. ”
A line of red letters flashed on Xiao Buli's screen.
System Prompt: Complete the quest 'Clear Rebellion', your reputation in the Taiyin Festival has increased by 300 points, and your reputation in the Taiyin Festival has reached neutrality, and you can accept the quest here.
Looking around, the NPCs that were originally brown and red with a single line of names and monsters have all turned into yellow borders.
It's a lot safer that way.
If you continue to rush to the prestige of the Taiyin Festival, you will soon become a green border that symbolizes friendliness.
However, Xiao Buli doesn't plan to rush the prestige here, even if he wants to rush the prestige of the Sanqing Puja first, but this does not prevent him from asking NPCs about ghosts, if you want to say who knows the most about ghosts, spells such as the reincarnation of wandering spirits, then it is undoubtedly the psychic masters who created this kind of spell and dealt with ghosts all day long.
The object he chose to ask was the elder of the Taiyin Festival, Qiu Changyan.
"Hello senior, may I ask you for some knowledge about the soul?"
"Of course, we welcome more people who are curious to learn about the nature of the soul, I don't know what you want to ask."
After Xiao Buli learned the lesson of the nameless swordsman, he had a certain understanding of how to deal with NPCs, knowing that these guys were not just a mess of data, and could not be speculated with previous experience, so he asked straight to the point: "I want to know if people will become ghosts after death?" ”
That Qiu Changyan said: "Then it depends on the situation, as long as the conditions are met, you will become a ghost." ”
"Oh, I don't know what it takes?"
Qiu Changyan explained: "When a normal person dies, his soul will also disperse and return to heaven and earth as yin and yang qi, but if this person has an obsession, a part of his soul will be too strong to disperse and remain in the world, which is the so-called ghost."
If the person's obsession is a desire to kill and take revenge, then it will most likely turn into an evil spirit that actively attacks humans, and if the person has an obsession to repay the favor or save people, most of them will turn into a good ghost.
However, whether it is a good ghost or a ghost after all, their souls are not complete, it can be said that only a part of the cognition and memory before they are alive, and they tend to become more and more paranoid, and they are not the existence that should remain in the world for a long time, so if they can, they must be let rest in peace. ”
Xiao Buli nodded, looking at it this way, the reason why Lu Jiang survived in the world was because he also had an obsession in his heart, and once the obsession was completed, his soul would dissipate.
"And what is a wanderer?" Xiao Buli asked again.
"The so-called wandering spirits are different from ordinary ghosts, they are those who have strong spiritual power, or those who have mana turned into spirits after death, and ordinary ghosts are different in that they have all their own consciousness, but there is nothing special about it, they can neither hurt others nor help others, let alone communicate with humans at any level, and they can only stay for a period of time, and once the time comes, it will still dissipate."
Xiao Buli listened to the heart and said that this is the case, so it is still necessary to learn this wandering spirit reincarnation.
After all, the reason why Lu Jiang was able to become a ghost was because he was concerned about his sister, but he was alone and had nothing to worry about, if he died, most of them would disappear, and it was always good to be reincarnated as a wandering spirit and stay for a while.
Thinking of this, he opened the package and double-clicked the skill book inside, and with a flash of white light, there was an additional gray skill in his skill bar.
Wandering Spirit: Not activated.
The group left the Taiyin Festival and dispersed, agreeing to get the next copy tomorrow, Xiao Buli took stock of the experience gains of this copy, and found that the experience was not as much as he imagined, but more than 1,000 points, mainly five people with the experience of a copy, and there were not so many points when it was assigned to him.
Looking at the experience points required to upgrade the wind swordsmanship, it takes 500 experience to upgrade from level five to level six, and it will only be more from level six to level 7, and his experience is only at most able to upgrade to level 7, and it is really a long way to go if you want to upgrade the wind sword technique to lv10, and his spell skills, because of the frequent use, there is also a little bit of proficiency, but there is still a distance from being promoted to lv2, after all, the mana is limited, and it is impossible to brush the proficiency of skills casually like in other games.
Do you continue to improve the Tempest Sword Technique, or do you want to increase the skill level of the spell type first? Xiao Buli hesitated a little, it seems that the experience of this thing still needs to be brushed up.
But the experience of brushing is not at this time, I looked at the time it was already more than five o'clock, it was dinner time, Xiao Buli quit the game, and followed everyone to the restaurant.
Tonight's dinner was as hearty as ever, with fruit salad, egg rolls, fried lamb chops charred on the outside and tender on the inside, salmon in tomato sauce and white fungus seaweed soup, with rice and freshly baked bread as the main dishes.
Xiao Buli filled a large plate of food as always, and while eating, he was still thinking about how to brush up on more experience.
"Hey, can I sit here?" A slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded in front of him, Xiao Buli glanced up, but found that it was a strange girl, who looked very temperamental, and had a faint impression.
"You are" - he glanced at the badge on the other party's chest, a mark of a phoenix reborn in flames, "You are Team Leader Wu of the Suzaku Group?" ”
"Hehe, just call me Sister Wu or Amin." Wu Min'er looked very kind, and pointed to the seat in front of him as if asking, Xiao Buli hurriedly said, "Of course, please take a seat." ”
"I heard that you found a copy of the God of War Catalogue, can you sell it to me?" Wu Min'er asked straight to the point, but Xiao Buli was strange, "What do you want that military book for?" So, do you know what it's used for? ”
"Of course, don't forget that I'm the number one spy leader here." Wu Min'er said with a little self-deprecation. "Actually, the function of this thing is very simple, it is used to give gifts to NPCs."
"Gifts for NPCs?" Xiao Buli's mind spun quickly, and he immediately thought of the reason, "Could it be for the personal prestige of the NPC, right?" ”
Wu Min'er showed a hint of approval in her eyes, "You guessed right, that's right, this art of war is of no use to us players, but NPCs need this kind of thing very much, I have recently reached respect because of a mission and an NPC's personal prestige, and I can rush to reverence with a few hundred points, but I can't receive more tasks from him, so I need some gifts, how about it, sell it or not, I still have some gold coins." ”
Xiao Buli thought for a while and said: "The gold coins or something are free, this book is useless to me anyway, if you need it, I will send it to you, of course, if you feel that you can't go, it would be great if you could provide me with some information." ”
