12. Encounter
Jianghe helps Wujiang to divide the rudder and collect the library.
Wang Teng was full of alcohol, shook his somewhat dizzy head, kept himself awake, and then searched the rows of bookshelves for books that recorded strange events.
Soon, he found a book of records such as the local county chronicle.
"In the 316th year of Great Xia, there was a red-eyed madman on the outskirts of Wujiang City, who bit people when he saw them, and all those who were bitten were sucked dry of blood, and also turned into a new red-eyed madman, biting people everywhere, and the government sent a large army to encircle and suppress them, and exterminated more than 800 crazy people. ”
"In the year 319 of Great Xia, there were suicides by throwing themselves into the river at the Wujiang Wharf one after another, nine people a day, for nine days, a total of 81 people. ”
"In the 327th year of Great Xia, a mysterious ancient temple appeared in the east of Wujiang City, and all witnesses were involuntarily attracted into the temple, and since then there has been no news, and the number of missing people is as high as thousands, and it disappeared by itself after three days. ”
"In the third three or fourth years of the Great Xia, there was a black fog in the waters of the Wujiang River, and the huge building ships were faintly visible, and strange singing voices came out from them, but everyone who heard the singing showed a look of obsession, stripped and danced, and boarded the bliss. ”
"In the third or fourth year of Great Xia, the Lin family, one of the wealthy families in Wujiang City, all died mysteriously overnight, and their bodies were covered with white hair. ”
“......”
Looking at the records of strange events large and small, Wang Teng became more and more frightened the more he watched, and he was completely drunk in an instant.
Such a world is too dangerous, and there are weirdness everywhere, and I don't know when I will die inexplicably.
It is not easy for ordinary people living in this world to not collapse and go crazy because of this, and they can still live normally.
Now, Wang Teng is almost certain that there are indeed 'demons and monsters' in this world.
Of course, there is also a group of transcendent beings in human beings, who are out of the realm of ordinary people and can fight against the strangeness of this world.
Otherwise, I am afraid that the human race in this world will be extinct long ago, or that the human race will become a lamb and grain to be slaughtered in the eyes of demons, and come out to harvest every once in a while.
"This world is too dangerous, we have to get an internal cultivation as soon as possible. ”
Wang Teng couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in his heart.
Just cultivating external skills, at most, is to dominate among ordinary people, and when you encounter weirdness, you can only escape.
The strange events recorded in these booklets, except for those that disappeared on their own, most of them were solved by the strong people of internal strength, and even if the external skills were cultivated to the extreme, they only had some self-preservation power and the capital to escape when they reached the outer gang realm.
The only ones who can confront the weird head-on are those who are strong in internal strength.
Strange came, without warning.
If you don't have strong strength, if you encounter a mysterious and strange event, you won't even have a chance to escape.
In the library cabinet, there are all kinds of books, and there are even a lot of external power cheats, but there is no internal power cheats, even the most ordinary health care skills do not exist.
Wang Teng found a few external skill cheats and looked through them, they were all the most ordinary external skill cheats, and they could only be cultivated to the Iron Bone Realm.
Even if there is an external skill cheat that can be cultivated to the Waigang realm, it is only the first half, and if you want to follow up the exercises, you need to exchange contribution points.
This is Wang Teng's privilege as a rudder deacon, and the cheats of the Iron Bone Realm level of external strength can be read for free.
If it is an ordinary gang, even the most ordinary external power cheats need to be exchanged for contribution points, and it is impossible for you to flip through them at will.
Exercise cheats, this is one of the most important means for the gang to control the gang below, only by firmly controlling the core of the exercise cheats, can the people below die hard.
Most of the external skills in the library pavilion are not as good as Wang Teng's own cultivation of the iron arm and silver gang, this external skill is directly to the outer gang realm, so he does not need to practice the rest of the external skills.
Every time you cultivate an extra external skill, it means that there is an extra soul energy consumption, and there is no qualitative change in the improvement of strength.
There are many places where soul energy will be used in the future, and it can't be wasted.
There was nothing to do next, Wang Teng stayed in the library all the time, flipping through all kinds of classics, and quickly understanding the world.
However, what Wang Teng knows is only a corner of this world, and most of the classics here record the deeds in Jiangnan Mansion.
The entire Xia Dynasty is divided into five major regions: southeast, northwest, and middle.
Jiangnan Mansion is only one of the nine major prefectures in the southern region.
From this, we can imagine how huge the entire Xia Dynasty is, and this is a strange and frequent world, no wonder the imperial court has extremely weak control over the local area, not that the imperial court does not want to manage it, but it can't manage it at all, and it doesn't have the ability to manage it.
The so-called Xia Dynasty can only be regarded as a nominal unified country, and the selection of local government officials does not need to be approved by the imperial court at all, and the local major family gangs have the final say.
From some miscellaneous records, Wang Teng faintly learned that this world is not the only country of the Xia Dynasty.
Before you know it, night falls.
Wang Teng didn't forget that Lu Tao held a banquet at the Pearl Restaurant tonight, and if he calculated the time, he could almost rush over now.
Pearl Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Wujiang City, the reason why it is called Pearl Restaurant is because there is a huge night pearl inlaid on the top of the restaurant, which can compete with the moon in the sky in this Wujiang City.
As long as it is in Wujiang City, you can see this bright pearl.
Pearl Restaurant, which is an industry belonging to the Jianghe Gang, has a booming business, and can bring hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the gang every year.
Wang vacated the rudder and took a shortcut to the Pearl Restaurant.
But the more he walked, the more wrong he felt, it would only take more than 20 minutes to walk the avenue from the rudder to the Pearl Restaurant, and it would take about 10 minutes at most to take a shortcut.
But Wang Teng has been walking for more than ten minutes, and he can see the Pearl Restaurant, but he just can't get close, as if he is seeing a mirage in the desert.
It seems to be close at hand, but it is actually far away.
Wang Teng couldn't help but stop, the gloomy alley was empty, he was alone, there was not even a sound around, it seemed very quiet, the needle drop could be heard, the silence was terrifying, and it was terrifying.
Call!
At this time, a gust of wind blew, Wang Teng felt that his body was inexplicably cold, a chill was born on his back, and his back and neck were cold.
"God, don't play with people like that. ”
At this moment, there are no words that can describe Wang Teng's mood.
To put it more vulgarly, it's really a dog.
He had just finished reading a book on weirdness in the library and in the blink of an eye, he had met him?
At this moment, Wang Teng couldn't wait to slap himself twice, why didn't he take the good road, he had to copy any shortcuts, and he didn't lack this time.
Wang Teng couldn't help but look behind him, but there was nothing.
"Huh, I'm really scared of myself, weird things, how can I come across this easily. ”
Wang Teng smiled self-deprecatingly.
Just as he turned his head, he noticed a little boy in tattered clothes playing a game of jumping squares in front of him.
