Chapter 74 Destruction of the celebration, hospital preparations
Zhou Ba Wa has actually triggered the Divine Slough Painting Skin several times so far. When this thing is triggered, it means that someone is spying on him and paying attention to him. Of course, the fact that the item is effective also means that he has successfully concealed it.
Some of these spies were well known to Zhou Baqi, who had done high-profile things at that time and attracted attention, while others had no idea where they came from. Maybe someone told him his fortune.
Of course, today's spying on Zhou Baqi will definitely make it clear that he is from Chen Tianhai, a citizen of Peach Blossom Spring.
On the night when Zhou Ba was pretending to be a big boy, one of the two window magpies discovered Chen Tianhai's true form.
However, Zhou Baqi didn't expose it. After observing it, he determined that the other party was just a well-intentioned player who reminded him by the way. After he had no ill intentions, he didn't pay any more attention to this matter.
Zhou Ba Wa now lacks nothing and doesn't ask for anything. He doesn't need to socialize with other players. Plus, with the insurance of Shen Shen Hua Shen, he can live alone for eternity, so why do he get involved in messy things.
Isn't it happy every day when it plays games, picks up trash, gets rewards, raises babies, and flirts with girls?
Zhou Ba wax took out his mobile phone and started the game.
"You were wandering around in the wedding city, and a drunk wedding bearer ran over you. You were dead."
Good, unhappy, rubbish game!
Ton ton ton ton, Zhou Ba wax took out the elixir gourd and drank it. It happened that the stamina bottle had not been used up today.
"You were wandering around Xicheng, and you heard that Xicheng was decorated with lights and colorful decorations today, and it seemed like a celebration was going to be held. You stopped a passing Xicheng citizen and asked, and the other person opened his hand and asked you for some reward money."
"You rewarded it with 10 incense ash, and it told you that today is the day when the Lord of Xicheng City holds the 'Matchmaker Celebration'."
"Every three years, a matchmaker celebration will be held in Xicheng, where the Maharaja and the Great God are invited to come to Xicheng to give blessings. Young men and women of the right age but not yet married in Xicheng will dress up in costumes and parade in the streets. The Maharaja and the Great God will guide them.
Marriage pair."
"The ceremony is prepared by the Lord of Xicheng. Not only do the merchants have to hand over the red cloth, carriages, horses, candles and other utensils used to pray to the gods, but they also collect incense taxes from every household in Xicheng."
"The kings and gods know who pays the incense tax. If you pay more incense tax, you can get a good match for a good family. If you pay less incense tax, you can only get a good match with a rat or a dog."
"
"So, every family in Xicheng happily spends all the money they have saved for generations for the sake of their children, and pays incense tax to the kings and gods in exchange for their children.
A good match."
"Even, haven't you noticed that there have been more followers of the Moneylender in Xicheng recently?"
"Thanks to these kind-hearted people who send money, every household in Xicheng can squeeze out more incense taxes, and the kings and gods can be rich and full of incense every year."
"Of course, after the kings and gods have eaten and gone, the married couple will have to work hard in Xicheng to repay the moneylender's help. How great that the couple has a common goal."
"The citizens of Xicheng praised the matchmaker celebration."
Zhou Bawa looked at the game text and thought to himself, Niubi, then the happiness index in your place is high enough.
"The Stove Lord's talent is triggered."
"While you were chatting with the other party, the other party mentioned that the preparations for this year's matchmaker celebration seemed different from previous years. When the city lord notified each household to prepare supplies for the gods, there were a few more ingredients than in previous years, such as yellow strips, red beams and thin water.
Little Phoenix..."
"In the past years, the city lord often invited the king and the god to have a gluttonous taste for weddings. It has been circulated for many years. The house is full of money, sugar, wine, and the merchants are asking for it. I wonder if there is someone new this year. Okay
Such a wild and smelly mouth."
"Inspector's Notes from the Patrol Room, Triggered."
"You remember that in the notes of the detective in the Xicheng patrol room, you saw a case like this. The prisoner in that case was a down-and-out Ma Xian from the Beima Temple Clan outside Guan Guan. He stole yellow and red strips from several households in Xicheng.
Liang Xishui, Little Phoenix...these materials are used to offer to Huang Pi Zixian in exchange for longevity cigarettes."
"You know from your notes that these materials for praying to gods are not materials commonly used in the Jianghu temples in the market, but materials commonly used in the Beima Temple outside Guanhai."
"The fake city lord who killed the bride with Huangxian disease and replaced her with it obviously wanted to use the name of the matchmaker celebration to collect taxes and tribute, collect tributes on behalf of the bride, and invite his own king and god to come and smooth the wedding.
city."
"This time, the death of Bride Xi and the Xicheng conspiracy have been completely made clear. They were caused by the temple feud between Beima outside the pass and the Jianghu in the market during the disputes over the secular true king's separatist regime."
These are a summary of the fragmentary clues that Zhou Ba wax has picked up during his more than a month of shopping in Xicheng. In fact, Zhou Ba wax himself can deduce from the previous text clues what he wants.
It's the follow-up.
"Grain Eater, you have understood the conspiracy of the false city lord, what will you choose next?"
Here it is, it’s useless for Zhou Baqi to reason it out on his own. He has to find enough clues in the game to trigger subsequent plot options.
"Are you planning to pretend you don't know, go along with the flow and watch the fake city lord destroy Xicheng, so that the influence of Zhenjun Beima's temple system outside the pass will expand to one more city?"
"It's better to make the conspiracy of the fake city lord public and remind the citizens of Xicheng to take precautions. But please note that your status as a grain eater will make it difficult to trust what you say, and you do not have a high reputation in Xicheng. This
The outcome of the choice is difficult to predict.”
"Or, you can solve this crisis by yourself. You seem to have a lot of room for this option. You can call on your friends and find your fellow grain eaters to deal with the false city lord and crush his conspiracy, or,
You plan to do it alone, maybe
It's a little more difficult, but you happen to have a ritual in your hand, which can easily crush this conspiracy. If you plan to use this ritual to commit a taboo, the only thing left to consider is how to withstand the fake city lord's plan.
The rage of destruction.”
Zhou Ba Wa didn't hesitate much and directly chose to use the Ritual Conviction Barrier. Why should you keep this thing? It will just eat dust. Now is the best time to use it.
"You used the ritual offender and mixed it into the tribute offered by a merchant in a happy city. When the fake city owner holds a matchmaker celebration an hour later, it will take effect and destroy the ceremony of inviting the gods. At that time, even though you smashed it
You will start a conspiracy, but at the same time, you will also face the wrath of a master. I hope you are prepared to deal with it."
Of course Zhou Bashi was well prepared. He went out late at night, took a taxi, and went to the hospital for emergency treatment. When people asked him what he was doing, he said he was fine and was just waiting to get sick.
Looking at the time on his phone, he saw that it was almost one o'clock. Zhou Ba wax operated the characters in the game and reached the challenge position, and then sat down and waited for the subsequent game text.
When time skipped exactly two hours, new text appeared in the game.
"The plot of the Matchmaker Celebration has been destroyed, and the furious fake city lord has discovered you and is rushing towards you."
