Chapter 62: The Ghost Ship

"Sugar for me! Give it to me! ”

The twelve or thirteen-year-old girl tiptoed, trying to reach the lollipop in Song Jingyun's hand, and the dragon-shaped jade pendant on her waist swayed.

Flattened green jade, the dragon's head is carved concisely, carved up and down into a tooth-like shape, there is an unclosed round hole in the center of the head, the long tail is folded back into the roll, decorated with vertical parallel patterns carved in the yin, the edge of the dragon body is engraved with a contour line, and the cloud thunder pattern is carved inside.

"If you jump higher, you'll get-"

【Ding Dong!】 Touched key ......]

The ghost card task prompt sounded in his ears, and Song Jingyun paused and handed the candy to the little girl.

"It was originally a special item from the Halloween map, and I gave this thing without passing, but fortunately I didn't lose it, and now I really use it."

He took out another one and handed it to Lu Xiaoman on the side: "Try it." ”

Lu Xiaoman's eyes were shining: "Thank you!" ”

"Special items," Lu Qiusheng was uneasy, "Does that have any effect?" ”

"I don't know, it's a surprise candy, the effect is unknown, it's like a strange bean," Song Jingyun rubbed his chin, always feeling that there was no slag and it felt weird to the touch, "Didn't you say that [not dirty, not clean, no disease after eating]?" Anyway, it's not expired, so don't worry about it. ”

He looked at the little girl perfunctorily: "What's your name?" ”

"Rings!" The little girl replied crisply.

"Is it a ring for [Knotted Grass Ring]?" Seeing the little girl nodding, Song Jingyun praised, "A good name, it sounds like culture." ”

"It's almost time," Song Jingyun glanced at the cave, "Let's go in." ”

……

The green tea was poured into a small porcelain cup and slowly pushed in front of Quan Heng.

"I entered the map six years ago, in fact, I'm not sure if it was six years ago, after all, there is a certain time difference between the game and reality, but it is timed according to the number of days in the map," Wen Huacun took out a booklet from the mahogany drawer, and after opening it, it was all counted with the word "positive", "During this period, no players entered except for you." ”

"No players entering?"

Song Jingyun was puzzled, he politely refused the green tea, and drank wine by himself shaking the wine gourd:

"According to the convention of the game, if a map is not [killed] or [cleared], a group of players will enter every half a month, that is, the customs will be cleared, and the plot will be fine-tuned and the players will be sent in."

"I don't know why," Wen Huacun shook his head, "I haven't cleared the game either." ”

"It's weird, but I don't think you look like you've been killed by a monster, and players who are killed by monsters will be delirious."

"Because I wasn't killed by monsters," Wen Huacun lowered his eyes and paused in a low voice, "I was killed by my friend." ”

"You mean being killed by the player?" Song Jingyun frowned, "Being killed by the player can't even be an NPC, and it will die directly." ”

"It was supposed to be like this, but I happened to be polluted by monsters and survived by accident." Wen Huacun smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that my friend didn't escape from here by backstabbing me, but died on that ghost ship." ”

"Ghost ships? Isn't that a ghost! ”

Song Jingyun gasped, he lifted the corner of the Taoist robe, the paper money on his body swayed, revealing a palm-sized ghost exorcism peachwood sword, with a serious expression, "Master Dao, I'm most afraid of ghosts." ”

"......" Lu Qiusheng frowned in disbelief, "You Taoist priest is afraid of a fart ghost!?" ”

"What do you mean by that? Just because I was afraid of ghosts, I didn't even succeed in applying for a Taoist certificate. Song Jingyun condemned, "Why can't you empathize with me, the most basic trust between people?" ”

The brothers of the Lu family did not hesitate, hated the same enemy, and said sonorously: "There is no trust!" ”

Song Jingyun: "......"

Forget it, there's nothing to talk about.

"You've been here for six years, and you've gained the trust and respect of all the NPCs in this town, so you're quite capable."

Song Jingyun looked at the furnishings in the cave.

From the small jade ring to the large murals, Tang and Song dynasty porcelain, and the jade seal of the Ming Dynasty, it is basically obviously treated with anti-oxidation.

"These objects are old, you unearthed them?"

"Yes, I am a student of the Department of Archaeology, and my family is also engaged in the restoration of cultural relics in the Forbidden City.

Wen Huacun smiled and rubbed his fingers that were worn by alkaline water:

In fact, when I think about it, the past six years have not been without gains.

"I used to think that archaeology was to dig up my ancestral grave, and it didn't make any sense, because many things can't be used even if you have that technology, and then I was trapped here, helping Shangu to unearth cultural relics and engage in restoration and protection, and I really knew after a few years-

"The significance of archaeology is to excavate the backbone of our own country and let the world know the strength of our history. Cultural revival is not to go back to the past, not to go back to the past, but to find back what was once beautiful in our nation. ”

"Culture, birch, and preservation - culture exists and the family and the country are born."

Quan Heng seemed to have been drinking tea seriously, and when he heard this, he put down the porcelain cup and said with a smile:

"Lingzun Lingci's expectations for you are also in this name."

"They do expect a lot from me," Wen Huacun smiled, a little melancholy, "It's a pity that I didn't understand it back then, and now I don't have a chance...... I don't know what happened to the two of them. ”

"It doesn't have to be a chance."

Wen Huacun was stunned for a moment, and looked up suddenly: "What do you mean?!" ”

"When you say the ghost ship, you mean the gunboat outside," Quan Heng said calmly, "How much does Senior Wen know about that gunboat?" ”

Wen Huacun asked anxiously, but now that the initiative is in the hands of others, she took a deep breath and said:

"I don't know much, and the townspeople are deliberately hiding from me and not letting me participate, but they know that the gunboat is very dangerous.

"There is nothing during the day, but at night the gunboat will come to the shore on its own initiative, and it will emit a strange light, and like the ghost ship, there will be a lot of strange things in the woods."

"No wonder the girl surnamed Mo said she wouldn't let us go out for a few nights." Song Jingyun said, "Since it's a ghost ship, then let's go and see it during the day?" ”

"No," Kwon vetoed, "there are a large number of damaged fishing boats floating around the gunboat, and it should not be possible to board the boat during the day." ”

Wen Huacun nodded: "That's right, it will be bombarded, and the fishing boats can't get close, and they can only approach when they dock at night."

"But there are also prohibitions in this way, it seems that except for the privileged [ghost card], the rest of the players can't get on the boat."

The Lu brothers all looked at Song Jingyun.

"What do you see," Song Jingyun sat up straight, "Everyone's thighs, you can rush forward, junior brother, I just want to be responsible for the direction calculation and directions, I can only ensure that I don't hide in the back and don't cause trouble......"

"I'm going to explore clues at night," Quan Heng looked at Song Jingyun and said with a smile, "Senior, I'll act with you to ensure that you won't be scared." ”

Song Jingyun: "......"

He couldn't help hissing and hesitated: "...... No, I don't feel trusted. ”
