Chapter 61: Balipu (The Debut of the Shocking Mystery)
Gu Tianzun's words began to become slurred, and I obviously felt that there must be some big secret in this, which should be the shocking mystery in the main plot of the game.
Looking at Gu Tianzun's trembling hand holding the black bead tightly, could this bead be a treasure?
Finally, Gu Tianzun opened his mouth again to speak: "Shaoxia, the old village chief is 80 years old this year, and I am 59 years old this year, they are all half-cut people, some things don't come out, I'm afraid no one knows." ”
"Tell me." I said immediately.
"Forty years ago, at that time, I learned Kunlun's exercises from Kunlun Mountain, and I was also a relatively outstanding disciple, and my master sent me down the mountain to investigate a strange case, which was called a soul-killing murder case by the people at that time."
Such a terrible name? Soul murder? It seems that this matter is not simple.
Gu Tianzun continued: "At first, the victims behaved as if they had lost their souls, and they were depressed every day, but after about a week or so, they went around biting like crazy, and the bitten person also became crazy, and finally rotted and died. Saying this, he obviously felt that Gu Tianzun's heart had been greatly impacted at that time, and his face was full of pain in retrospect.
He continued: "At that time, the matter was in the novice village, when the old village chief was just forty years old, still in the prime of life, and was the only living person in the village, according to his description, the village came a while ago a group of strange people dressed in exotic clothes, giving people the elixir, but immortality. ”
I hurriedly said, "There is an elixir of immortality? ”
Gu Tianzun sighed and said: "Alas, how can there be that kind of elixir in the world, people who eat the elixir are like losing their souls, and they will bite everywhere like crazy for a week, and finally they will all die, and the old village chief happened to be not in the village at that time, so he was able to survive." ”
I said, "Wouldn't the old village chief be greatly shocked when he returned to the village?" ”
Gu Gutian looked at the beads in his hand and said: "That's natural, think about people who have lived in a village for forty years, go out, come back and see their relatives and neighbors all dead like this, can you not be heartbroken, this bead is the original panacea, but time has passed forty years, and now the original pill is brown, and it is soft, 40 years of ups and downs have become black, hard pills." ”
I looked at the black bead in Gu Tianzun's hand, good guy, it turned out to be poison, but I thought it was a rare thing like pearl agate.
Gu Tianzun shook his head and said: "Since then, my clues here have been broken, the only clue is this pill, alas, it is said that after the strange things of that group of strange people left, they have been to Gulong Town, Balipu, every time I arrived, the entire town has died, and I have redeveloped this Gulong Town since then." ”
I took a look at Gu Tianzun and said, "What about Balipu?" ”
Gu Tianzun sighed and said: "It is said that the strange things of that group of strange people disappeared after they left Balipu, and no one knows where they went. ”
"It seems that Balipu is worth visiting." I said thoughtfully.
Gu Tianzun also nodded and said, "Yes, there are only two useful clues now, one is the madman, and the other is the pill in my hand." ”
I immediately agreed, and said, "Okay, I'll help you investigate this matter." "After all, this is about 100,000 yuan!
Then I got the quest item Soul Killer Elixir, and then the next scene was Balipu, looking for a madman.
Our location is exactly eight kilometers to Balipu, and from the novice village to Balipu is also exactly eight kilometers, Balipu is named after this.
The direction that Gu Tianzun pointed to was a stone road, and this road led to Balipu.
Because we were in a hurry to solve the case, we hurriedly said goodbye to Gu Tianzun, we walked along the stone road all the way to Balipu, passed through the western suburbs, and finally arrived at the scene of Balipu.
Because of the scene that Gu Tianzun said before, Balipu is a destroyed appearance in my impression, forgetting that 40 years have passed, things have long been people, and now Balipu is like a lively street market, there are many people coming and going on the road, and the surrounding green scene is so happy that I almost forgot that I came to investigate the truth.
When I arrived at the west gate of Balipu, I saw the only survivor in Gu Tianzun's mouth, a madman.
is different from what he imagined, this madman is already full of white hair, there is not a single black hair on his body, even his beard is white, he is wearing a pair of tattered straw sandals, and his clothes are also tattered.
If a person has been crazy for forty years, he is an old madman, but if a person has pretended to be crazy for forty years, how strong is his heart? Go ahead and click on the old madman's dialog.
The blue sky is like water in the clouds
The moon is white on the ladder alone
There is no elixir of immortality in the world
Confused and mad
This...... This old madman is still an old poet, and he showed me a literary talent when he came up.
After my brief analysis, this passage should have something to do with those strange people in strange costumes.
So I asked, "This old gentleman, I heard that you were the only one forty years ago..."
At the mention of forty years ago, the gray-haired old madman's hair stood on end, and he got up directly, and glared at us angrily with a kind of resentment, and I naturally avoided my eyes, and after a while the old man sat back in his original position, and he ignored him no matter how much I asked him.
"Uh, how are you doing with your story quest?" I didn't know what to do for a while, could it be that I made a mistake somewhere, so I asked my teammates, and my teammates said that this old madman was too difficult to serve, and sat here without talking.
It seems that the breakthrough of this plot is going to be opened by another person.
Ignoring this old madman, he walked into Balipu, and the people on the street kept coming and going, and I grabbed one casually and asked: Hello, are you a resident here? ”
The man looked at me and sneered, "What are you not doing here?" ”
I immediately responded, "Then when did you come to Balipu?" ”
The man looked at me strangely and said, "I've been here for almost 20 years, what's wrong?" ”
Sure enough, it was no more than 40 years, and the appearance of that person was only in his 30s, and it was impossible to be more than 40 years, so I continued to ask: "Do you know who the villager who has lived in Balipu for the longest time?" ”
The man said to me dismissively, "Go and ask Simon, that crazy old man, he was here when I came, and he should know better than I do." ”
Sure enough, the clue was still in the body of the crazy old man, and he returned to Simon, who still ignored us.
Damn, toast and don't eat and drink.
Just when I was about to break out, I found a wine gourd next to the crazy old man, and the crazy old man picked up the wine gourd and poured wine into his mouth, but unfortunately there was no wine, and after swaying for a long time, a drop of wine came out. Then the old man shook his head, put down the gourd in his hand, and continued to lean against Simon to sleep.
The crazy old man seemed to be a good drinker, so I quickly told my teammates about the details, and we went to the market to find a drink.
The market is bustling and lively, how can it be as miserable as it was forty years ago. Soon, we passed by a butcher's shop and noticed the word "wine" hanging on the door of the next one.
I clicked on the dialog box for the liquor shopman.
"This guest officer, we have all kinds of wine, do you need to drink some wine? You can get rid of the heat in the summer and warm up the stomach in the winter. ”
I said, "Do you know what old madman Simon usually drinks?" ”
"Hey, that crazy old man, what kind of wine can he drink, the cheapest loose wine."
"Get me a pot of loose wine."
"Alas, this young man, look at your dress and demeanor are all upper-class people in society, we have a first-class daughter Hong, do you want to try it?"
Under my insistence, the guy at the liquor store gave me a pot of loose wine. That kind of crazy old man may not be able to drink any good wine, so he can just buy the wine he usually drinks, and I think he shouldn't have so many problems.
Sure enough, I brought a jug of wine to the old madman, who had his eyes closed but his nose twitched, and yes, I was dangling in front of him with the wine.
Finally, the old madman suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "12 years of supreme old wine." That's what I like. As he spoke, before I could promise him, he snatched it and drank it freely. For a moment, I panicked.
This is not enough to talk about the wine, what if he ignores me for a while?
But even if he has a little conscience, he can finally talk to me after drinking.
The last time I said that he was crazy when he was forty years old, this time I must avoid those words,
I asked, "Hello senior, may I ask who has been in this eight-mile shop for the longest time?" ”
After the crazy old man drank the wine, the whole person was in good spirits, and his words floated up, and he said: "There is a phoenix in the sky, a unicorn in the ground, and a dragon in the water. After speaking, he also slapped his chest twice to show his confidence.
This old man is really a dog who can't spit ivory out of his mouth.
I replied, "So crazy old man, you are the boss of this Balipu?" ”
The old man proudly puffed his chest at me and said, "Exactly." ”
Although the old man said so, judging from the feedback of the residents here, this old man is just a madman in their eyes.
But facts speak louder than words, Balizhuang forty years ago overnight only this old madman was left alive, and now it is so prosperous, it must have a certain ability, and later people only see his crazy side, and then I know that this person must not be simple, not to rush to anything else, just open his mouth to those few lines of poetry and compare himself to the phoenix in the sky and the dragon in the water of the unicorn on the earth, this person is by no means idle,
