"You noticed that every time the old man in the hermitage stretched out his hand to receive something from behind the door, he was wearing various jewelry, such as gold nails and jade finger rings. You saw a ring ring with a very familiar shape. You
There seems to be one."
"You rummaged through Taotie's stomach bag and found the old man's ring that you had accidentally obtained."
"The old man's finger is a mortal item. The antique objects found on the corpse come from the old man of the previous dynasty during the reign of a secular lord. They have no special function. They may be used as antique collections to sell some incense."
Zhou Baqu looked at the game text and wondered, where did he get this thing?
Unlike other ordinary players whose backpacks are limited in size, they have to make choices when picking up trash, otherwise the backpack is often full and not enough. Zhou Baqi has a legendary backpack "Glutious Stomach Bag", and other backpacks are only four or five square meters in size.
, and his backpack has a capacity of 100 square meters, so he hardly did any sorting or separation. He just threw whatever rags he picked up while exploring along the way, and it wouldn't be full for a while anyway.
Over time, Taotie's stomach has accumulated a lot of junk materials, and this old man's thumb ring is obviously one of them.
However, after Zhou Balu thought for a while, he really remembered the origin of this thing. Under the secret room of the Xicheng Wax Making House, Zhou Balu opened a treasure box, and the ring was in that treasure box. At the same time, he also got
There are rituals, taboos, and so on.
Good guy, at that time Zhou Ba Wa thought he was just a useless piece of rubbish. The game text said it was just an antique prop with nothing special. But he didn’t expect that an event would actually be triggered today at the Elder’s Retreat in the Funeral City?
"Whether you want to pull the old man's fingers out and show it to the old man in the hermitage, please choose carefully."
Zhou Ba wax said that there was no information prompt at all, so he asked me to choose carefully. This ring is a useless prop in my hand. Now that an event is triggered, of course Zhou Ba wax will use it.
"You took out the old man's ring and showed it to the old man in the hermitage. The old man behind the door was shocked when he saw the ring. He snatched it away and slammed the door tightly. No matter how much you called the door, nothing happened."
"You have lost it, Yi Lao."
Damn, robbery? Zhou Ba Wa was speechless, thinking that's it? Just give it to him and snatch away the old man's ring for free, and that's it. And today's daily errands to give skills to secular gods seem to be gone?
Zhou Ba wax was speechless, thinking that he had lost his wife and lost his army.
In reality, as the day progresses, other colleagues in the student union in the villa party hall wake up one after another. Before noon, everyone returns to school, and this team-building activity is considered over.
Returning to campus life again, the next few days.
Every day when Zhou Ba Wa plays the game, he has to go to the hermitage of Yi Lao. Since that day, there has been no movement since the opponent took away Yi Lao's ring. Even the daily tasks are gone. He is unconvinced by both people. He must come and visit every day.
Can you find any new options?
Zhou Ba Wa was wondering if he could find an option to demolish the house so that he could call out the secular gods and demolish the place under the gaze of the True Lord.
One day, two days...five days.
The old man's hermitage had been calmly pretending to be dead, unable to trigger any new events or options. Until the fifth day, Zhou Baxi took a look as usual and unexpectedly discovered a new option.
"You came to Yi Lao's hermitage today and found an old pickle jar and a letter from Yi Lao at the door."
"The letter from the old man, the letter written to you by the old man who lives in seclusion in the funeral city. The letter said: It has long discovered that you are not its child, but it doesn't matter. It just needs someone to fulfill its filial piety. The one who died on the way
It may not really be its child, there is no difference between you."
Tsk, Zhou Bashi looked at the text of the game and said to himself that he never expected that the old lady had such tricks. He thought that this mission was to impersonate the old lady's child and steal the inheritance. But now it seems that he is the one who was caught.
fish.
"You have helped it a lot these days, going to various places in the funeral city to help it pick up things. It is almost time. The ceremony it has been preparing for has been greatly accelerated by your help in picking up things. It is almost completed.
"
"What makes it even more surprising is that you actually have the old man's ring on you. This will be a better medium. Your help has taken this ceremony to the next level."
"Everything is ready. The thing about the mass graves between Happy City and Funeral City is almost ready. It will take that thing and leave this hermitage in Funeral City where it has lived in seclusion for many years. Maybe you will meet again in the future.
, it will accept you as a favor when the time comes."
Zhou Bachu complained as he looked at it, the world is so big, and debts of gratitude are really the most worthless things. If we don't see each other again, it will be the same as nothing.
However, the letter also mentioned the "grave mound" between Xicheng and Funeral City. Zhou Baqi had taken the long detour when he came from Xicheng to Funeral City. The direct shortcut to the mass grave was inaccessible because evil spirits were infested in it.
.
Now, the letter says that the old man seems to be related to the evil spirits in the mass graves, and he took it away. Does this mean that the shortcut to the mass graves is passable?
"In addition, the letter also said that Yi Lao left you some final parting gifts to thank you for your help these days. The Yi Lao ring and the contents of the pickle jar you brought are gifts in return for you.
.”
This is the end of Yi Lao's letter. The letter answered some of Zhou Ba Wa's doubts and mentioned some puzzles about the funeral city and the surrounding map. It can be regarded as a temporary end to the line of events in Yi Lao's hermitage.
But it is also visible to the naked eye that this matter is not over yet. What is the ritual that the old man calls and what is the evil spirit that is taking away and raging in the graves? These have not been made clear yet. Obviously there will be a follow-up, if we can encounter it again in the future.
After Zhou Ba wax finished sorting out the contents of the letter, he looked at the gift left to him by the reclusive old man, the pickle jar.
"The pickled expert's eye (rare prop) is the eyeball of a master of antique artifacts and treasures in Peiping during the era when the earthly lord ruled. After eating it, you can get the 'expert's eye'."
"At that time, no one in the city of Beiping knew that this famous treasure appraiser was born with a pair of good eyes, able to detect the smallest details of thousands of things. He was very famous and prestigious in the Peking Antique Shop and was deeply loved by many wealthy businessmen in Peiping.
The powerful and powerful people trusted it and paid high prices for it to appraise the treasures."
"But when people walk by the river, there is no way their shoes won't get wet. Once, it had its eyes opened to identify treasures. It was born with a treasure eye and could detect everything. This was the first time it had its eyes opened in its life. No one knew what was wrong at the time. Anyway,
It’s an eye-opener.”
"It stood high and fell hard. At that time, the person it was trying to appraise was a cruel and powerful prince, Prince Junzi. When he punched him in the eyes, he angered the other party and even took out its eyeballs and threw them into the pickle.
In the vegetable garden, from now on, the master treasure appraiser can no longer appraise treasures, and no one in Beiping has ever seen those precious eyes again."
"Now, this pair of 'expert eyes' actually appeared in the hands of an old man who lived in a hermitage in the city of mourning. I don't know its identity or where it came from. Anyway, now he has given these precious eyes as a gift for his help.
Gifted to you."
"Are you going to take it, pickled connoisseur's eye?"
