"Side quest complete"

"Task Requirements: Investigate and Solve the Land Temple Incident"

"Reward: D+900"

The prompt sounded in his ears, looking at the monster that had lost his life in front of him and fell from the stone platform, Ji Qiu slowly put away the pistol.

"If I can't hold your claws at this moment, or if I'm trapped in the forest and begging for mercy, will you let me go?"

"So, don't blame me."

Habitually, I reached behind me and touched the cigarette, only to find that the cigarette case had been thrown away. Shaking his head, Ji Qiu just wanted to turn around and walk back, but as if he remembered something, he suddenly turned around again and came to the weasel corpse.

Step on the opponent's corpse with one foot, grab the opponent's head with one hand, and point the other hand into a knife, and slash down......

With a snort, the monster's body made a tearing sound like cloth, and with the splash of blood, its head and body instantly separated.

Shaking his bloody head, Ji Qiu turned around and walked back and forth.

At this moment, the mountain had changed back to its original appearance, there was no target in front of him, and his steps seemed much easier, and after ten minutes, he returned to the boundary of the woods.

A little light penetrated through the forest, Ji Qiu quickened his pace, and after a while, his body pierced out of the mountain forest and saw the stars overhead.

On the official road in the distance, the body of the strong man was still lying there, like a puppet torn into a ball by a bear child, and the surrounding road was chaotic, full of traces of fighting.

Ji Qiu bypassed far away and walked towards the broken temple.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a panicked howl.

"You... You murderer! … Don't come here!! ”

The middle-aged man was awake at this time and was standing not far from the temple gate. However, his face was blue, his expression was at a loss, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he didn't know where to pick up a wooden stick in his hand, and he was constantly waving it towards Ji Qiu.

Obviously, Ji Qiu's clothes were disheveled, and his bloodstained style made him misunderstand something.

"Can't you see that he committed suicide?"

Ji Qiu used his head to nu Shusheng's corpse. The corpse lay stiffly on its back on the ground, revealing a dead hole in the ground. Obviously, he was dragged by a middle-aged man just now.

"That's... What about the one outside?!!"

"You think I killed people?"

"No... It's not that you can have anyone else ?!!."

“……”

"Fortunately, I was prepared..."Ji Qiu threw the object in his hand in front of the middle-aged man and said, "Look at this." ”

The middle-aged man lowered his head vigilantly, and then saw a bloodshot animal head.

“… What is it? He asked.

Ji Qiu didn't answer, but walked quickly to the fire, picked up a stick of firewood on the ground at random, stretched it into the gray charcoal and teased it for a while, and then wrapped up a piece of black meat with a strange smell and threw it at the feet of the middle-aged man.

"What this is, that's what it is."

The middle-aged man glanced at the two things in front of him puzzled, and then looked at Ji Qiu suspiciously, and after a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something, his face changed, and he said, "How is this possible!" ”

"Nothing is impossible." Ji Qiu picked up his cigarette case by the door, took out one, stretched it out to the bonfire and lit it, then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if to release the tiredness of more than an hour.

"How can there really be such a thing in this world..."

"That's true."

“…… You killed this thing? The middle-aged man looked at his head, still a little skeptical.

"Nonsense... Otherwise, you would have died. ”

Ji Qiu turned his head, looked at his backpack that was messed up by the middle-aged man speechlessly, then reached out and pulled out the kettle from it, poured a few sips, sat down and said, "Come here, I have something to ask you." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at him warily and slowly moved to a distant corner and sat down.

"What are you asking?"

"Tell me what happened here before I came."

“……”

"You've met a weasel, right?"

"That's right."

"So you roasted it and ate it?"

"No, no, a few of us are in a hurry, so we don't have time to take care of it. It was the beast himself who coveted the meat film in Brother Tian's baggage and wanted to steal it, so he was caught by our joint efforts. ”

"And roasted him and ate it, right?"

“…… That's right. ”

"And after that?"

While eating, Brother Xu remembered this strange thing, so he talked and laughed...... Not long after, Your Excellency came in. When the middle-aged man said this, he involuntarily glanced at the scholar's corpse, and then sighed.

Then the truth of the matter will be revealed. Kill the little ones and come out of the old ones. Ji Qiu shook his head, and continued, "There was such a big movement outside before, and it didn't wake you up?" ”

"I... I do not know. ”

"Are you sleeping?"

"It seems to be...... I had a dream. ”

"Dreams?"

"Yes, I dreamed of a girl." The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned red, "It's just that that girl is a little different." ”

"What's different?"

"Her hair is yellow," he paused, "just like those foreign devils." ”

"And so you did?"

"What to do, what to do?!!"

"No, nothing." Ji Qiu looked at the yellow head on the ground, and added in his heart, "It's better that you still don't know." ”

So, the last two questions. Who is the Son of the Day? Where is this? ”

"What Son of Heaven, where is the emperor now?" The middle-aged man looked at him suspiciously and said, "This is Pyeongchang Town." ”

"How many years have you been in the Republic of China?"

"Three years of the Republic of China..."

Then the time and place were determined. Ji Qiu thought for a while and said, "Now it's midnight and three watches, if you believe me, you can continue to stay here until dawn." If you don't trust me...... Then please. ”

After speaking, he spread his hands, and then regardless of the other party's reaction, he found an open place to sit cross-legged, hung his hands, and made a five-hearted meditation posture.

Since he has achieved internal strength, every night he will replace sleep with this way of meditation and exercise, half-dreaming and half-waking, the internal breath will run on its own, and it only takes one or two hours to be more energetic than waking up from a big sleep.

Time flies.

I don't know how long it took, but he opened his slightly narrowed eyes.

In the silent temple, the middle-aged man has long since disappeared, and only the bursts of fire reflect the mess all over the ground.

Ji Qiu stretched out his arm and sniffed it, only to feel that there was a smell of blood, sweat and dust mixed with his body, he couldn't help frowning, and immediately picked up the kettle, took out a few new clothes from his backpack, and came to the outside of the temple to wash himself. After cleaning, he thought about it, turned around and picked up the scholar from the temple, and then came to the official road, grabbed the shoes of the strong man, and dragged him all the way to the edge of the cliff.

Looking at the dark cliff below, Ji Qiu's hand was slightly forced, and he threw the strong man out of the air, and then turned his back and threw the scholar down.

"Don't blame me, I'm sorry for you, let's have a good baby in the next life."

With his hands in front of his chest, he made a gesture of 'Amen', Ji Qiu silently muttered a few words, then turned around and came to the temple gate, sat down against the doorpost, and then picked up the script from his backpack and began to search for the corresponding script according to the events he had just experienced.

At this moment, the starlight in the deep night sky is still twinkling, but the bright crescent moon in the sky has disappeared.

After more than half an hour, a white glimmer came into view, which was not the light of the night, but the light of the morning that announced the beginning of the day.

In the distance, as the first rays of sunlight in the field of vision lit up from the top of the mountain, just like the flames that suddenly flashed in the sky, everything was illuminated in an instant.

"The night went by so quickly."

Taking a deep breath, the coolness of the morning poured into his internal organs along with his breath, Ji Qiu squinted, then grabbed his backpack, turned around and set off again.

As the journey progressed, the official road in front of him gradually became wider, and the cliff had disappeared.

A river five or six meters wide crosses the road in front of you to split in half, and the two ends of the river are connected by a wooden beam bridge.

By this time it was already dawning, and a few sleepy-eyed peasants were slowly walking towards the rice fields with hoes on their shoulders and humming songs he did not understand.

Ji Qiu stepped forward to ask for directions, and then continued to move forward, and after a while, the town symbol of Pyeongchang Town appeared in front of him.

Ji Qiu found an inn at random, asked for a private room with the silver taels found from the scholar, ordered some side dishes, and served a pot of wine, then picked up the plot outline and continued to look at it slowly.

This flip turned to noon.

It wasn't until the third pole of the sun that he stopped.

"No, there are too few known clues, and inconsequential things like place names may be different from the original." He mused, "Looks like we'll have to go out again." ”

Putting the things back in the backpack, Ji Qiu got up and opened the door, and then shouted "Little Er!!" ”

"Come on!!" With a gentle and characteristic voice, a young man wearing a felt hat ran upstairs.

Ji Qiu asked him to put away the wine and food on the table, and then asked, "Xiao Er, what strange things have happened in this town recently?" ”

"Strange things? What do you mean, guest? ”

"It's just that there are no strange people and things."

"Well, there's no strange thing. But when it comes to strange people, there is one in this town. ”

"Oh, who is it?"

Xiao Er glanced out the window, and then said with a smile, "This point is almost about to start, if you are curious, you can take a look." ”
