Chapter Seventy-Nine: Zhuge Wolong
"Good deeds,! There is no justice in this world, doing good deeds will die quickly, and good people will not be rewarded......"
Zhuge Wolong, who has been locked in a cell for many years, has become vulgar in his speech, he lifted a strand of hair that was stuck together because he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and looked at the two of them with his eyes exposed: "Even if you can escape from the gang, it's just from this small prison to a big prison, what's the difference?" ”
Lin Meng cut the chains with a knife, pushed open the cell door, looked at the books in the corner of the weeds on the ground, and the words carved on the wall, and asked, "Uncle, seeing that you are a scholar, how can you be caught in prison?" ”
"Good question!"
Zhuge Wolong suddenly became excited, and even had a crazy look on his face, and scolded: "It's all because the ancestors have no eyes, so I was told to pursue learning, and I grew up to write books and become a doctorate......
"Who knew that Lu Dao wrote a travelogue, and was said that I leaked state secrets; Writing history, I say that I use the past to satirize the present; Okay, then I'll go and explain the art of war, and say that I incite rebellion; It's good to write myths, say that I lead people to superstition; After the most rewriting, I rewrote the biography of a celebrity, but the celebrity was arrested, saying that it was a disorder, and I was sentenced to life imprisonment with him......"
Ye Ying was on the side, pursing her mouth and smiling, this line for Ning Caichen in the movie actually appeared in the ears of the two.
"Yes, life is a prison, I see you, it seems that you are destined to go to prison, but today, since I have done good deeds and released a lot of prisoners, I will do one more thing to release you from the prison, will you leave?"
Lin Meng originally thought that Zhuge Wolong would stay in the cell and was reluctant to leave - this guy escaped from the hole in the wall dug in the movie, but he stayed in the prison, but he didn't expect that when asked, the old gentleman immediately said: "Go, why don't you go!" ”
"Originally, I was only imprisoned for life, but this time there was a big case of escaping from prison, and I still keep it, maybe I will be cut down by the officers and soldiers who vented their anger."
"Although I am an old bone, I don't want to die now, I want to see what kind of chaos this world can become. Since you saved me, I will go out of the bar, and I can also go to the liquor store to fight tooth sacrifices, and eat flies and cockroaches in prison, and I have eaten enough. ”
Zhuge Wolong also simply took out a long cloth and packed the book into a bag, and ran to the side of the jailer who was killed, and carefully touched his body, revealing a look of surprise.
"Ha Lu Ha...... After sending it, two big money, and a few taels of broken silver, after going out, I can eat and drink a few meals. Holding the belongings scavenged from the dead, the old fellow, with the wrinkles on his happy face stretched out, and he couldn't close his mouth.
Outside the cell, there was a panic of chickens and dogs, and some officers and soldiers shouted, "Catch the fugitives, don't go!" "Rampage through the streets.
Zhuge Wolong pulled the two of them and got into an inn, and the boss saw a big pile of money thrown on the board, so he didn't care about the identities of the three people, and directly arranged the guest room.
Half an hour later, Zhuge Wolong had already washed his hair and face with water, and changed into clothes that the store guys had specially bought, it seemed that not only did he not have the kind of dirty decadence that had been in prison for more than 10 years, but he had a long beard and fluttering, and he had the temperament of a fluttering scribe.
Xiao Er brought food at this time, a large pot of rice, roast chicken, green vegetables, and a pot of old wine were all placed on the table.
Zhuge Wolong got no more money than no less money on the dead jailer, at least enough to squander more than 10 days of food, and when he saw these things, his eyes lit up.
Tearing off the chicken legs, taking a bite of the shiny, golden flesh, taking a big bite of rice, and taking a sip of soju, Zhuge Wolong sighed contentedly: "I'm writing a book in prison, no one comes to bother me, I'm quiet, but the food is not good, and there are benefits to coming out." ”
Lin Meng and Ye Ying have been in the real world for many days, and they haven't eaten normal food, so they took a bowl of rice and ate it with green vegetables.
Zhuge Wolong chewed and swallowed a roast chicken and bones, drank a pot of old wine, and then knocked his legs on the stool, and looked at the two of them with slanted eyebrows: "You two have white hair and red eyes, just like a monster, and a goblin who looks like a seductive goblin, what is your identity?" ”
Lin Meng was about to speak, when the voice of the reincarnation brand suddenly sounded in his mind: "The initial communication with the plot world and important NPCs may qualify your camp in the world and the main quest in this world. ”
Entering the world of A Chinese Ghost Story until now, there is no task prompt, I didn't expect such a thing to come now.
Lin Meng hesitated, what the plot world did would affect the evaluation of the level, and the more you do, the higher the evaluation, the more benefits you can get. At the beginning of the cell, saving Zhuge Wolong was just a matter of convenience, and this action would undoubtedly increase the harvest of passing the level.
Hint: Obviously, the Chinese Ghost Story World Realm judges the camp based on what they do!
Lin Meng pulled Ye Ying out of the room, and watched the two leave, Zhuge Wolong didn't care, and continued to take out the minced meat from his teeth with a satisfied expression, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it with a "grunt" of saliva.
"Did you hear the branding prompt too?"
"Hmm!" Ye Ying nodded.
Lin Meng's face was solemn: "In my opinion, there are at least three camps in this world, the first is Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia's side; the second is the tree demon grandma, who controls female ghosts such as Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing, as well as the old demon of Montenegro hidden behind; Third, the thousand-year-old centipede spirit Pudu Cihang demon monk should be counted as one side, that guy controls the imperial court, stirs up the corruption of discipline, and the people are not happy, and can mobilize the greatest strength of officers and soldiers. ”
"Isn't that the final boss of the second part?" Ye Ying was surprised.
"Ning Caichen is locked in a prison cell, judging from his bearded face, he shouldn't have been in prison for long, maybe a few months, maybe a year, and the gap between the first and second parts is not long."
"The Zhuge Wolong we saved is the second plot NPC, from the high-ranking officials of the court in the movie, and even the Taoist priest of the Kunlun faction, Zhiqiu Yiye's respect for him, it can be seen that this is a decent hermit, and communicating with him is likely to lead to some main lines of hostility with the imperial court and Pudu Cihang!"
Hearing Lin Meng's analysis, Ye Ying furrowed her eyebrows: "Pudu Cihang's demon monk is a thousand-year-old centipede spirit, I'm afraid it is even more difficult to deal with than a tree demon." ”
"Yes, and although the time between the two parts is not long, Yan Chixia in the first part does not have the ability to control dozens of flying swords at the same time, nor does she have the means to fire ten thousand swords at the same time, and the second part becomes stronger, and the last part is out of the body, so he kills the centipede essence."
Ye Ying's big eyes showed a hint of hesitation: "What do you mean...... The best thing we can do now is to separate from Zhuge Wolong? ”
"It's wise to think that you haven't seen him, and then leave the inn and rush to Guobei County as soon as possible, and then get in touch with Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen, the main task is nothing more than to deal with the dryad, I think...... After leaving, going to the Dryad, or even the Pudu Cihang Demon Monk, can also lead to different main lines. ”
"Defect to the villain boss?"
"Hmm...... Receiving a task from the Dryad is nothing more than finding a living person to breathe yang qi for it, and even killing Yan Chixia may not be possible; If you receive the task from Pudu Cihang, at this time, I am afraid that the ministers of the court have not all been eaten up of flesh and blood, in short, the mission will definitely not be a good thing......"
Speaking of this, Lin Meng hesitated, let him help the abuse, ordinary bad things are nothing, but what the monsters in this world have done are beyond the bottom line.
And there is also an additional danger with the villain, moodiness is the characteristic of the villain BOSS, a bad thing, where is it called a grievance if he is killed casually? Lin Meng understood that it was impossible for him, Ye Ying, and even the summoned Zhao Xin's character to flatter the evil monsters, nor to do evil deeds that hurt nature and reason, and disregard people's lives.
This is the bottom line of being a human being!
"Forget it, we're not leaving! Zhuge Wolong has a secret hidden in this person, maybe he can still find help, as for the centipede essence, even if it doesn't come to chase us, if there is a reincarnation who takes refuge in it, it can still cause hostility. ”
"Besides, the main line of this world is goodness, whether it is the infatuated and simple Ning Caichen, the amorous and lifeless Xiaoqian, or the chivalrous Yan Chixia, and the enthusiastic and affectionate Zhiqiu Yiye, they are all kind, follow the theme of the world and the world, you should be able to get the greatest benefits."
After some discussion, Lin Meng set the tone for the Dream Team's actions in this world, the villain boss is strong, and Yan Chixia is not weak. The thousand-year-old centipede essence doesn't come out, if it appears, the Taoist priest played by Jacky Cheung of the Kunlun faction may also be made out by the plot and become a helper to balance.
The biggest variable is actually not the plot character, but the reincarnation, Lin Meng estimates that there are many people who enter A Chinese Ghost Story, at least not only the two people seen in the cell.
Back in the house, Zhuge Wolong saw the two people coming in, he drank a pot of soju, quite drunk, and his face was slightly red: "What did you talk about?" How much can I tell the old man, let's talk about it now. ”
"Actually, we don't have to hide anything from the old man, we are warlocks who practice in the world. Now the chaos of the dynasty is controlled by demons, the people are not living, and the people are living in dire straits, I know that you are the hermit Zhuge Wolong, so I specially rescued you, I hope you can set up a life for the court and open peace for the people! ”
On Zhuge Wolong's face, the drunken flush quickly dissipated, he touched his beard, and was obviously surprised that Lin Meng called out the title.
He did not deny Zhuge Wolong's identity, nor did he admit it: "You are warlocks? No wonder the appearance and temperament are very special, but now that the people are suffering and the dynasty is corrupted, I am an old man who has been in prison for more than 10 years and can only write books, what can I do? ”
"Establish a life for the court and open peace for the people...... I wanted to spend the rest of my life in prison and write more books, but this time I wanted to enjoy myself, eat more chickens, and drink more jugs of wine. ”
The old man got up from the stool, unwrapped the package and took out a book, and stuffed it into Lin Meng's hand: "This book should be regarded as a gift for acquaintance, okay, I'm leaving, no need to send it." ”
After saying this, Zhuge Wolong rolled up his burden and prepared to run away.
Lin Meng looked at the book in his hand, the three big characters on the cover "The Way of the World" were the book he gave to Ning Caichen in the movie.
Seek your own way, find forward
There is a way in the world
How much the water and the mountains went
Heaven will never grow old, and my hometown will always be good
There are green mountains as far as the eye can see
The green mountains are full of rain arrows and wind knives
How can the old garden road not go a long way
Tao humane, Tao Shinto
Seek the way of the world
Demons and demons both say that they are good
Wind and thunderstorm heaven and earth ghost cry god
In the old days, what did the country turn into a sea of blood......
Lin Meng couldn't help but hum softly, this is the theme song of the movie's Human Dao, and Zhuge Wolong's book actually wrote this paragraph.
The song is sung by Jacky Cheung, the tone is low and sad, full of depression, but you can feel the repression, including the injustice of the world, the suffering of the people, and the catastrophe of the hometown, the fiery emotions of unwillingness, anger, and sadness.
Zhuge Wolong, who was walking outward, suddenly stopped his movements when he heard the song.
"You're ...... Can you sing what I write into a song...... Good song, good song...... Old days...... What has become a sea of blood...... For what...... This old garden road is a point of no return...... In this world, there is no way to do anything! ”
A cloudy tear slowly dripped to the ground from the corner of Zhuge Wolong's eye.
