Chapter 30 The Invitation of the Corpse Hunting Team
In the evening, Zhou Baxu and Lin Yujing returned to school after dinner, opened "The World" and played a game.
"You choose to go west from Shaoxiang Town, and a canal appears in front of you, and you come to Shuigui River."
"You found a small niche by the river. Do you want to light it up?"
"You have lit up the niche of Water Ghost River."
Zhou Ba Wa advanced to the new map, Water Ghost River.
As for Shaoxiang Town, Zhou Bachu has put it on hold for now. He may occasionally teleport back to the underground niche to kill Fushou Man and get some incense ash. It is unlikely that he will explore it in detail. He has already explored it in two weeks.
The only remaining weird Huangpizi Temple that he didn't explore much was obviously not something he could handle at his current level. He would come back and take a look later when he gets stronger.
"Shuigui River was not originally called Shuigui River, but was called Jinpingkou. In the era of the rule of the earthly lord, it was the main water transport channel of the Beiping Canal connecting Tianjin and Wei. Water boats from the Liangtai Assistant Company passed through the canal all year round."
"After the night of sharing the food, the world was in chaos. Demons and monsters were everywhere. Many wealthy businessmen and elders in Peiping escaped from the war and fled to Jinwei by water. Jinpingkou was the only way to go. There were boats of fine clothes, jade, silk, gold and silver, and they were just pieces of fat.
Meat."
"There was a gang of river pirates in Guandong at that time. The Hundred and Ten members were not many, but they were still a large local armed force. The leader of the river bandits was quite crazy and called himself the 'King of Guandong'."
"Of course, everyone now knows that he didn't take it seriously. He was wiped out by the real King of Kanto, the real King of Northern Horses, who now rules the Kanto area. He was shot in the middle of the head and died early.
Already."
"But it was still the early days of the separatist war. He led his small gang of river pirates and occupied Jinping Pass. Whenever a wealthy family's ship came out with deserters, he would hijack it, take away the gold and silver, and take the women back to give birth to children.
The man shot his body and threw it into the river, occupying Jinping Port for a month and causing thousands of lives."
"Some people who survived at that time said that Jinpingkou was almost filled with corpses, and all the people floating on the water were river drifters. The evil spirit and resentment were overwhelming."
"Actually, it is not ruled out that there is an element of exaggeration in the words. The Cao Canal, which can carry large ships, can't be filled with thousands of corpses. But after all, what happened so many years ago, it is normal for the details to be different until now, but this tragedy did happen.
"
"Later, after so many people drowned in Dajin Pingkou, the river began to become strange. Every now and then, we heard of people falling into the water and boat accidents. Suddenly, it became an accident-prone road."
"When more people drowned, people started to say that Jinpingkou was a place where many ghosts died in vain, and there was great resentment. As time went by, Jinpingkou became known as the Water Ghost River."
"This is an evil Yin River. Grain Eater, do you want to go for a stroll near the Water Ghost River? Or choose to take a detour now and try your luck at the next place."
Two options, go near Shuigui River and take a detour.
New maps, new rewards.
Zhou Bashi definitely chose to go to Shuigui River.
"You've arrived near the Water Ghost River."
"The abandoned ferry wharf is overgrown with weeds, and there seems to be a frightening depth hidden under the turbid river surface. There are occasional ripples on the water surface, probably from the underwater fish, but you always feel that you have just emerged from the water surface.
Yes, it doesn’t look like a fish.”
"You think the dirty and turbid river surface makes you nauseous. Do you want to leave now, or get closer and take a closer look."
Zhou Bachu chose to take a closer look, and he was already here.
"The greedy grain eater chose to get closer to the river for a look."
"Well, your greed seems to have made the right decision this time. You found something shimmering under the water. Do you want to reach out and pick it up?"
Oh, Zhou Ba said that he was lucky. He got the reward as soon as he arrived at the new map. He seemed to be more conscientious than Burning Incense Town.
"You reach out to pick up the treasure in the river."
"You felt a hand from under the river grabbing you and pulling you hard."
"Gululu, Gululu..."
"You are dead."
Tsk, I want to go back to Shaoxiang Town.
What can Zhou Ba Wa say? It's his own fault. The long background story mentioned above repeatedly mentioned that the Water Ghost River evil sect had grievances and many people died mysteriously, but in the end Zhou Ba Wa was still fooled.
But you want to ask Zhou Bawa whether he will pick it up again? He will definitely say that he will pick it up again. What if, he can be fooled and die countless times, but as long as he picks up a real treasure once, he will win.
Okay, the game is over for today, go to bed.
The next morning, Zhou Ba wax went to the game again.
"You have arrived near the Shuigui River. Where do you plan to visit this time? The River Temple, the Bamboo Raft Ferry, and the Shuigui River."
This time there were three options, which were probably similar to Burning Incense Town. There should be different events in the three branch locations. Zhou Baqi chose the first option, River Temple.
"You came to the River Temple by the Water Ghost River."
"The river god blesses those who eat "water work". When you enter the temple, you will see an old corpse collector, curled up in the arms of the river god statue. His body is like a dry bone and his breath is as thin as a gossamer.
, as if it might die at any time, but it has lived for who knows how many years, and the flesh and bones on its back have grown into the statue of the River God, which is weird and terrifying."
"It is the captain of the corpse-recovering team in Shuigui River, a descendant of Jinping River God, and has lived in the river temple for a long time to pierce the river talisman for the corpse-recovering people in Shuigui River and protect their livelihood."
"You have a broken finger with a tattoo. Are you willing to submit it to the captain of the corpse recovery team in Shuigui River?"
Oh oh, this event is coming.
The tattooed severed finger that Zhou Bach picked up on the altar table of Huangpizi Temple in Shaoxiang Town before could be used to submit it to the leader of the body-retrieving team in this river temple.
"You handed the tattooed severed finger to the captain of the corpse recovery team and explained to him the situation in Burning Incense Town."
"The captain of the body-retrieving team expressed his gratitude to you for your good deeds and conveyed to you the gratitude of the river god. At the same time, he sighed that the Jinping River God had been polluted and worn away, and his power of protection was no longer extensive, which is why they lost a corpse in Shaoxiang Town.
Corpse man."
"Your reputation in the Jinpinghe Temple System has improved."
"Your reputation in the corpse-catching business has increased."
"Your reputation in different forces or industries may affect the events and choices you can trigger when you come into contact with this force or industry in the future."
"In order to thank you for your kind deed, the captain of the corpse recovery team has prepared a reward for you. It provides you with two options."
"The first choice is to convey the manifest mantra to the Jinping River God. Even if you are a grain eater who has been exiled from the world, because you helped the body-retrieving team bring back the remains of the poor corpse-retrieving person, you should
Gain the respect of all the body-retrieving people, and we want to recruit you into the Shuigui River body-retrieving team."
"If you choose this option, you will join the Jinping River Temple System, you will become a corpse hunter, and you will obtain the River God's Thorn Talisman. The Talisman's effect: ward off evil spirits in the water, and can be upgraded."
Zhou Ba Wa looked at the description and saw that it was another invitation from a powerful organization, very similar to the one at Sticky Rod.
Although there seems to be a reward, a river god thorn talisman, but since Zhou Bawa has always believed that all the big and small forces in the world may have some influence, so he does not want to join a certain force.
