Chapter 39: The Old Man with the White Beard
Half-lying on the bed, Chu Kun asked casually, "How is it outside, what is the reaction of the berserk group?" ”
"I heard that more than a dozen of them died yesterday, and several were crippled, and the sound of Zhang Lei, the leader of the Berserk Regiment, getting angry, could be heard on several streets. However, I don't know the specific situation, because I am afraid that I will be discovered, and I still hear it when I listen to others talking about it outside. Li Ran explained Chu Kun's excitement.
Chu Kun smiled slightly, no wonder the berserk group had such a big fire, plus the crippled almost lost about twenty people last night, not to mention that there was a level twenty master. It's nothing to lose so many people, and it's a bit embarrassing to not even catch anyone in the end.
Chu Kun, who was lying on the bed, thought about what he had done in the past few days, and now the top priority was to complete the transfer as soon as possible, and if he wanted to change jobs, he would first open the novice village. Count the time, now it's time to act as soon as possible.
Then ate some porridge, and Chu Kun, who made a decision, ignored the persuasion of the Yanran sisters, and in the evening, the three of them secretly went out of Yangyang County to start the upgrade. It didn't take long for Chu Kun, who was already at level nineteen, to reach level twenty, all that remained was to find the starting place to open the novice village.
After being promoted to level twenty, all the injuries on Chu Kun's body had recovered, including the slightest mental discomfort.
At this time, it was already the second half of the night, and Chu Kun was walking alone in the open field. Although the two women were unwilling, they were still sent back by Chu Kun, not that Chu Kun was unwilling to take them, but he himself didn't know if the task of opening the novice village would be dangerous except for the monster attacking the city, and besides, the task of opening the task could only be completed alone.
Looking up at the dark night sky, a few starlights dotted on it, the howling cold wind made people shiver, and a few one-meter-tall butterfly demons not far away were wandering aimlessly. Li Ran has always wondered why there is such a creature as a butterfly in this kind of weather, although Chu Kun has always emphasized that it is a butterfly demon, not a butterfly.
According to the son of the big guy in his previous life, the opening task of the novice village in Yang County is to be in a white-bearded NPC. However, this kind of NPC is not visible to everyone, only the player with the 'key' can see it, and the other party will not stay in one place, you need to find it yourself.
However, the other party will not leave the distance of one kilometer around the novice village, otherwise you may not be able to find it even if you are looking for it in the world. After walking around Yangyang for about three hours, carefully searching all the distances of one kilometer, and making sure that he didn't see any traces of white-bearded NPCs, Chu Kun returned to Yangyang County to continue his search.
In the silence of the night, there is no one walking on the street, and the dark and quiet environment brings considerable psychological pressure. Not so long ago, roadside bars were places for people to unwind or find a one-night stand, but now the dilapidated shops smell bleak. The stray cats and dogs that were common on the streets before the end of the world are no longer there, and I don't know if they all died or mutated into more powerful creatures.
Maybe it's because of the sad life in his previous life, Chu Kun has always liked the night more than the day. Different from the noise of the day, the depth and tranquility of the night can make Chu Kun feel more secure, even if he has experienced two lives, he can choose to let go of his memory, but he can't take the initiative to forget, the habit that has been imprinted in the depths of his soul is not something that can be changed.
Unconsciously, Chu Kun came to the cultural square in the center of the county, which covers an area of 20,000 square meters and was rebuilt from the original stadium. For Yangxian County, the square is a classic of urban construction in the new century, integrating large-scale sculptures, musical fountains, and green lawns. It highlights the characteristics of Taoist culture.
Yes, although Yangyang County is only a small county town, it is permeated with a strong Taoist atmosphere. As for why there is such a deep Taoist culture in Yang County, Chu Kun doesn't know the Dao, for Chu Kun in his previous life, life is the most important thing, and studying these things can only be done after he is full, but for Chu Kun, it is not easy to eat enough.
And now in the last days, there is no need to study this. Walking slowly across the square, the once large sculptures have collapsed, the musical fountain is only a puddle of dirty muddy water, and the green lawn has been trampled away. Only the Tai Chi pattern paved in the center of the sunken square still reveals the mysterious atmosphere.
It's just that what Chu Kun noticed was not these, but the white-bearded old man standing on the Taiji diagram pattern, in the dark night, except for a few stars in the sky, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to reach out and not see the five fingers. Although Chu Kun's physical fitness has improved a lot, and his vision is many times that of ordinary people, he can only vaguely see things within four or five meters on such a night.
The strange thing was that the white-bearded old man was obviously more than ten meters away from him, but Chu Kun could clearly see the other party's appearance and all the scenes within a radius of five meters from the white-bearded old man, so clear that even the brick patterns on the ground were in front of him. And five meters away, it was still deep and dark.
There is a clear distinction between black and white, and with such a strong contrast, Chu Kun not only does not feel the slightest weirdness, but has a sense of subtlety. Looking at the white-bearded old man, strictly speaking, not only the beard, but also his hair, eyebrows, etc., were all white, and his long hair was pulled into a bun, and a turquoise hairpin passed through it.
The white eyebrows hung down to the corners of the eyes, and the face was not the face of an ordinary old man, but the ruddy feeling of a baby. The white beard hanging down to his chest, a whisk on the crook of his left arm, plus a white robe on his body, and the bright light as day within five meters around him, and the black and white Taiji diagram pattern on the soles of his feet, the fairy wind bones, full of appearance!
Chu Kun looked at the white-bearded man in front of him speechlessly, this dress is really ...... Walking forward, Chu Kun bowed slightly, hugged his fist, and said, "Senior!" ”
Seeing that the white-bearded old man just raised his head slightly, but didn't say anything, Chu Kun didn't know what to do. Chu Kun, who wants to talk about killing people or robbing or something, can still say a few words, but this deal is really a bit difficult for Chu Kun. You can't just go up and say, "Hey! Old man, do you have a mission or something? After thinking about it, Chu Kun had no choice but to stand aside with his hands down, silent.
And the white-bearded old man was also a little speechless at this time, and raised his head slightly to peek at Chu Kun who was standing aside, and said in his heart that he finally got this job, so he wanted to put on a score and show it off because he was bored.
Who knew that the black-bellied pit daddy didn't make it clear before he came, and only specific people could see him, and he couldn't be too far away from a certain place. Let the white-bearded old man who is single-mindedly show off almost can't help but strangle the other party after learning the truth, if he can't beat that person himself.
