Chapter 558: Rune Stone Clue

How much the success rate has increased is still second to us, because the attributes of the Golden State spade are already very good. And we are now high-level miners, and the success rate is not bad even if it does not add up. However, it is different to increase the degree of excavation, it has the effect of doing more with half the effort, and there is a chance to increase the grade of similar ores, that is, even if the ore we dig is of inferior quality, it may become high-quality. How could I bury such a useful thing like this, it is conceivable that when I dig with a handful of excellent shovels on the left and right, the harvest is not rich.

With a smile, I put the shovel into my backpack and said to Fili's bones: "Anyway, you won't need this shovel in your life, so let me fulfill your last wish." I will surely raise this spade of hope and dig up the best gems for you. Ahem, you don't have any opinions, do you? If you have an opinion, say it, and since you don't speak, then I assume that you have no opinion. Since you have no opinion, then I will unceremoniously put it away. ”

Of course, the dead can't speak, and I'm a little worried that Fili's undead will suddenly burst out of the bones and snatch the shovel of hope. But Philly's ghost did not reappear, and the white skeleton still lay quietly in the pit I had dug. I smirked, closed the empty box, placed it next to Filly's body, covered it with earth, and found a random stone to use as a tombstone, and stuck it on the little grave, and carved his name on the slate.

After completing the Mandate of the Dead, I packed up my things and set out to find the seven damn springs. Could any of these seven be the Fountain of Sorrow, judging by the state of the miners' spirits, I think it is likely to be related to the Fountain of Sorrow. But the little spring I found just now, although it was a good fountain of sorrow, was not a fountain. Maybe the same is true of the seven springs. But whether they are or not, these springs are more or less related to the Fountain of Sorrow. Maybe after finding them, the problem will be solved.

I don't know if I didn't pay attention to it before. Or is it because it will only appear after burying Filly's bones? Many of the large and small pits had slightly damp ground, just like the pits in my current Phillip Bone Pit. I dug up six other dry springs of sorrow in the same way. More than twenty springs were collected, and a strangely shaped rune stone was also found from the bodies of those blue stone elements.

What is this rune stone for? I took it in my hand and looked at it over and over again, nothing special, but one thing was for sure. It should be a quest item, not a forge. At this point, I could not find any clues in the declining land, and even the wandering miners' spirits were cleaned up by me. Watch as the sun slowly sinks over the sky, painting this desolate land with a golden halo. I let out a long sigh, or go offline first, this matter, I can't rush it.

Turning off the computer, I collapsed headlong on the bed, silently staring at the ceiling above me. Yun Yun was dragged by broken teeth and small talk to participate in the promotional activities of Huaxia Company, and I was originally asked to go, but I have always disliked such noisy occasions, so I pushed it off by wanting to play a game, and now the whole room is empty, and I am the only one left.

Turn on the TV and drink, the second episode of "Legend of Heaven and Earth" is playing inside, and the broken tooth inserts a vigorous love story into my hand and Yun Yunan, which is tear-jerking and touching. This kind of plot is specially prepared for those live-in women, and the boss of Huaxia dares to want to pull those housewives who have been idle at home for a long time into the game of heaven and earth, which can be regarded as saving the hearts of men who are running around.

In a few days, my parents will move into my newly purchased house, and the small suite I have been renting before will be given to Aunt Li, which can be regarded as a thank you for taking care of me for so long. When she learned the news, she could almost stuff a big pear in her mouth. She's still in charge of my side of the house, but she's noticeably less worried than she used to be. She finally understood that I was actually playing games all day and night at work, and after seeing Yunyun, she didn't have to worry about me not having a girlfriend.

"Alas, Yunyun, this kid, is so good that I have nothing to say, Xiao Zhang, you are really blessed." Aunt Li always said that.

Yun Yun smiled when she heard this, and for her, Aunt Li's praise for her was actually similar to the effect of my mother's mouth, and it was all the affirmation of her by the elders.

Thinking of this, there was a sudden slight sound on the doorknob, and at this time, no one would come to my room except Yunyun. Did the activity end so early, I adjusted my breathing, didn't make a sound, and pretended to be asleep.

Yun Yun pushed open the door, saw that I was still sleeping, reached out and hung my coat on the hanger behind the door, and walked over lightly.

"I don't sleep under a quilt, and I'm not afraid of catching a cold." Yun Yun looked at me, shook her head with a smile and said softly: "Men never know how to take care of themselves, Aunt Li is not bad at all, she is like a big child when she is dozens of years old." ”

I narrowed my eyes into a slit and saw Yunyun pull the quilt open, ready to cover me......

"Haha, look what I've caught." I screamed, and a hungry tiger pounced, pulled Yunyun into the cup with one arm, and imprinted a kiss on her face.

"You're so annoying, you actually pretended to sleep and lied to me." Yun Yun hammered my chest with a pair of pink fists, and said coquettishly.

I smiled, turned over and pressed her under me, and said solemnly, "If I don't pretend to be asleep, how can I catch such a beautiful baby as you."

"You're necrotic." Yun Yun couldn't stand the teasing of my hands up and down, and she was gasping for breath......

After an intimacy, Yun Yun pushed me away and asked softly, "Why didn't you play the game, it's rare to come back and see you sleeping." ”

As soon as I turned over and sat up, I picked my messy head and said, "I received a mission, and all the clues were broken, and I found a rune stone and I didn't know what it was." So come down and rest for a while, and the more you think about it, the more annoying it becomes. ”

"What runes?" Yun Yun straightened her messy clothes. Asked curiously.

I will receive the mission in the Black Peak Tower Mountain and the one that was born in the land of decline.

"It's not clear to say that, it's still a game. Show me what it is. Yun Yun seemed to be interested. As soon as he stood up, he pulled me and walked out of the bedroom. "Don't worry, there's still work to be done." I pulled her back...... (Hey, hey.) The last few thousand words are omitted, and the judges imagine for themselves)

Entering the game with Yunyun, I immediately returned to the city and returned to the Demon House, where she was already waiting for me in my room.

Take the rune stone out of your backpack. I handed it to Yun Yun with one hand, she took the stone, pinched it in her hand and looked at it, nodded thoughtfully and said, "If it's this thing, you can go to the Temple of Light and ask." Maybe there's a clue. ”

"What, Temple of Light." I couldn't help but ask, "What does this stone have to do with the Temple of Light?"

"That's right." Yun Yun returned the rune stone to me and said, "One of our priests' professional tasks is to go to the Temple of Light to get holy water and learn advanced purification skills. The last time I went on a mission with a few sisters in the gang, I stumbled upon a secret hut on the side of the temple, and there was an old man carving runes in the house, so I went in to take a look. So it's a little bit of an understanding as well. I think your rune stone is similar to the ones he carved, and if you go, you should be able to find some clues. ”

"Okay, anyway, I don't have a clue now, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, I'll go and see it." I threw the rune stone into my backpack and got up to head out the door.

"No, I'm going too." Yun Yun grabbed me and said loudly, "I finally asked for leave from the gang today." It's rare to have time to play with you, if you dare to leave me here alone, I'll be with you!"

"Okay, okay, let's go together." I couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Yunyun, so I summoned Xiao Jin to sit on it and flew with her to the Temple of Light. (Note: Since the Temple of Light returned to Queen Catherine's possession, some changes have occurred in the vicinity.) A green alley from Yanshi City to the Temple of Light has been opened, so it has its correct location on the map, so you don't need to go around that circle from Sky City)

"Just stop there and don't enter the main hall." In mid-air, Yun Yun pointed to a stone house outside the temple and said.

"Okay." I immediately commanded Kim to fly down and land at the door.

"Anyone!" After putting away the little gold, I stood outside the door and shouted.

Yun Yun smiled and twisted me, and said in a coquettish voice: "Don't shout, the NPC in there is a deaf old man, and he can't hear you." ”

Dizzy, I'm a deaf person, I said it earlier, and let me waste saliva in vain.

Walking into the stone house, it was so dark that not even a single candle was lit, only lit by a few faint rays of sunlight from the skylight overhead, and a few dusty cobwebs hung down from the corners of the ceiling, and were blown by the cold wind blown into the cracks in the wall. Except for the large stone bench at the innermost, there was not a single decent ornament in the whole hut, and it was full of stones of different shapes and colors, carved with runes. Even if there may be one or two of them, the precious stones will be wiped out by the thick dust, and no one knows.

It's hard to imagine that there would be such a "slum" in the Temple of Light, and the room was filled with a disgusting smell of decay, compared to here, the rotting corpses in the eighteen layers of hell can be regarded as smeared with high-grade cologne. There was no doubt that the stench emanated from the old man sitting behind the stone table.

Look at his long gray beard messing up on his chin, I don't know if it's saliva or some other liquid sticking to his beard. His head and beard were in the same shape, and they were also scattered like a pile of grass, but they were very strikingly long, almost like a cloak, covering all his slumped back, and his sharp and large carrot-like nose protruded from the pile of "grass", which was the only feature on his face that could determine the position.

I saw that he had been carving the stone in his hand intently, as if he hadn't noticed that there were two more living players in the room, and he didn't raise his head to look at it. There was no sound at all, not even a superfluous movement. Just using his six-fingered hands to deftly flip the stone. And that strangely graver.

This guy is certainly not human. It's not like an orc, and certainly not a dwarf or an elf. I took a look at it with a real peep, and I couldn't even find out what other race he was in. Even the name is a series of incomprehensible symbols, needless to say, the rank is naturally a question mark. It's the first time I've encountered such a strange thing, so I want to ask him directly. I remembered that Yun Yun had told me that he was deaf, and I really didn't have an idea for a while.

Yun Yun, you said he was deaf, so how should I ask him about that rune stone?" I turned around and asked Yun Yun, who was standing behind me.

"It's easy," Yun Yun said, "you can write it." He can understand, then, don't you see the paper and pen on the table?"

Paper and pen, I walked to the front of the workbench, and sure enough, I saw a few yellow plain papers behind a rock, and ...... An inkstone. A pen holder, and a brush that was about to go bald. Ah, is this guy still a China expert? I haven't practiced calligraphy for a long time, but I learned it for a while when I was a soldier, and now I don't know what it looks like to write. It's not a calligraphy competition, it doesn't matter what it looks like, as long as you know it. What if those foreigners encounter this task? Can they still hold a brush with their hands that can't even hold chopsticks, I secretly feel funny when I think about this question.

Picking up the brush and dipping some ink from the inkstone, I was thinking about how to put pen to paper so that I could explain my intentions in as short a language as possible, and when I was asked for the answer I wanted, a player suddenly walked in the door and shouted into the room.

"Hey, Fengzi, what are you doing here?" I looked up at the person, and the ink from the brush dripped onto the plain paper, leaving a small ink dot. The "old man" suddenly looked up at me, picked up the plain paper dripping with ink, blew it gently, dried the ink, turned it over, and put it back in front of me.

Dizzy, so economical, even a piece of paper has to be used on both sides, this old man is not stupid.

The person who came in from the outside was the wind wandering around, today he was not dressed as well, his body was covered with dirt, his face was white and black, as if he had just come out of the coal kiln, and he was still wearing a metal mask on his face that only left the side of his face, drink, when did this kid want to learn to be an assassin, but unfortunately the metal mask did not match his mage robe at all.

Fengzi was also surprised to see me and Yunyun standing in the room. "%¥......―r*―%-%-¥......" came out of his mouth a series of jerky and strange words, and even the system's built-in translator didn't work.

Seeing the eyes of me and Yunyun, Fengzi was stunned for a while, put his hand under the mask and touched it for a while, as if he had pulled something out of his mouth, and then coughed a few times, and then said: "It turned out to be you, Brother Yin, I was looking for you, but I didn't expect you to come first." "This time we finally understood what he said.

"Looking for me? What's the matter with me, and why are you here?" I asked.

"Well, it's a long story, so I'll make a long story short." The wandering wind nodded, took out a piece of parchment from his bag, handed it to me, and said, "Look, you can use such a pattern to carve now, right?"

I took it and saw that it was one of the drawings we had found in the library, but it had been redrawn next to it, and the meaning of the word Chinese was noted in Chinese next to the symbol. Look at the font is vigorous and full, vigorous and powerful, and it is impossible to write such beautiful words without decades of books. It certainly wasn't from the roaming hand of the wind, so it must have been written by the one sitting behind the workbench in the room.

I took the parchment, nodded, looked at the rickety old man, and asked the wandering wind, "This drawing was translated by the old man?" Do you know what kind of text this is?"

"It's weird." Fengzi smiled and said: "If I didn't say it, you would never have thought that the characters on it are actually ancient Chinese characters, but they are earlier than the seal script that we can't understand, and it is another script from the same period as the oracle bone inscription." ”

"What!" I stared at the wind as it roamed around, with an incredulous expression. He actually told me that the words we couldn't understand could be in Chinese. Hahaha, Chinese can't understand Chinese, this is really a big joke.

What's so strange about that. Yun Yun followed and said: "In fact, ancient Chinese culture is broad and profound, and a lot of knowledge is not something that we non-professionals can understand. Even many Ph.D. experts can't fully understand how many ancient Chinese characters are divided into types, let alone us. Nowadays, people who can understand the language of binary machines are grasping a lot of them, and when it comes to ancient Chinese culture, most of them may be confused. I think that the game Heaven and Earth can let us learn more about Chinese culture, and I guess this is also one of the purposes of Huaxia Company to build Heaven and Earth. ”

Hehe, I've only been a spokesperson for a few days, and I've spoken for Huaxia Company for everything. I put my arms around Yun Yun and pinched her small nose and said.
