Liu Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I have never heard of this small county called Heshan, but I suspect that the reason why Tener went into the mountain was not to find something, but to bury something in the mountain.
Something, or a secret base built like a plantation."
"Heshan? I seem to have heard of it."
At this time, Zhang Wenbing suddenly said: "This Heshan County may be in a city near my home, because I remember that when I went home for the New Year a few years ago, my father mentioned the matter of local relocation in Heshan County. At the same time, he
It was also mentioned that there is a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain in Heshan County that is very famous in the local area, because this Taoist temple is usually in a state of neglect, but every year during the Double Ninth Festival, several Taoists come to clean the Taoist temple, and these Taoists also give gifts to the Taoist temple.
A few tokens of thanks to those who came to help that day.”
"Then what?" Yin En asked curiously: "These thank-you gifts should be special, right? Is there some kind of amulet that can help people turn evil into good luck?"
"not at all."
Zhang Wenbing shook his head and said: "I had the same idea as Yin En at the beginning, because when my father said that this Taoist temple was very famous in the local area, I thought that this Taoist temple was very efficacious in some aspects, or that it had some magical powers.
The result is that some Taoist priests come to clean the house every year, and the things they give are just ordinary fruits and peanuts. Of course, if someone asks them for a talisman, they will also give some ordinary talismans.
..But, I am a member of the Chinese Taoist Sect."
"As long as there are Taoist temples with some background, they are actually on the list of our Chinese Taoist sects. Of course, many Taoist temples think that we are just an ordinary association, and there are also some ordinary Taoist temples that will seek our certification. We will also put these
The Taoist temple was written on another list; anyway, I checked that Taoist temple when I had nothing to do, and found that it was not on the list, so this Taoist temple should be an ordinary self-built Taoist temple, and it didn't even get it.
The recognition of our association, but this is normal, because many Taoist temples were built by ordinary people in the past."
"At the beginning, these Taoist temples were run by ordinary people, or there was simply no one to take care of them. Everyone would come in and pay homage when they passed by. For example, there is a small Taoist temple in my hometown that is more than ten square meters.
I don’t know whose statue I made, but when I used to go back to my hometown, I would walk back together as a family. After all, the township roads at that time were not as well-connected as they are now, so every time we passed that small Taoist temple, my family and I
Family members will go in to pay their respects and rest for a while.”
"Of course, some wandering Taoist priests, or people who are not Taoist priests at all, will live in these unguarded Taoist temples, and then this can be regarded as a semi-formal Taoist temple, although usually no one really comes.
The Taoist temple performs some serious rituals; although the Taoist temple in Heshan County seems to have no problem, the problem is that the nearest registered Taoist temple is hundreds of kilometers away from Heshan County, and this Taoist temple only has three people.
Registered Taoist priests, so they cannot be the Taoist priests who clean the temple. Most importantly, I have never heard of a Taoist temple that would organize team building and clean an abandoned Taoist temple."
"So I told this matter to a friend of mine. He said that those might be fake Taoist priests. There might be two real purposes for them to clean the Taoist temple. One is that there might be some secrets hidden in the Taoist temple. They
The second one is that this Taoist temple may really be a secret base, and those fake Taoist priests are here to deliver supplies, or they may have other ideas, such as providing supplies to ordinary people nearby.
An impression - this abandoned Taoist temple will still have outsiders cleaning it or doing other things."
"In this way, even if ordinary people see other fake Taoist priests at other times, they can use the excuse of cleaning to excuse them. However, both of these possibilities are unreliable to us, because we know the truth of this world.
, so I now begin to suspect that this Taoist temple was left by Tener. As for those Taoist priests, they may be real or they may be fake, but they must have been arranged by Tener to clean the temple.
The reason for such arrangement may also be to maintain certain institutions and ensure that these institutions can operate normally when necessary."
Having said this, Zhang Wenbing looked at Liu Xing, "So now I suggest Liu Xing that you go find that professor today, because I suspect that the professor may give you something related to that Taoist temple!"
Hearing what Zhang Wenbing said, Liu Xing nodded directly and replied: "In that case, I will go see this professor now and see him. No, it should be said that Tener left something for me, but just for insurance.
For the sake of safety, you have to arrange for a few people to accompany me there, after all, I am now a blind man who can't even walk a few steps by myself."
So, accompanied by Yin En and Chris, Liu Xing waited for the professor at the entrance of Miskatonic University.
The professor's name is Fieri, the former head of the Department of Archeology, but what's interesting is that he has never led a team out to the scene, but he has very rich theoretical knowledge and has a collection of books and objects from various ancient civilizations. Today, Mies
Museum No. 13 at Miskatonic University is actually his private museum, but Fierli has decided to give everything in this museum to Miskatonic University.
Although Fierli has not retired yet, he has already started to take a back seat two years ago and is only responsible for providing theoretical support to various expedition teams. He usually lives at Miskatonic University to provide him with
In his small courtyard, because he has never married, he naturally has no children, and he is an orphan who was abandoned at birth, so he has always been alone.
"Orphan."
Yin En looked at his phone and said seriously: "It seems that this professor is also a genius. He was able to become a professor at Miskatonic University after such a start. But the interesting thing is that this professor was born in Dunwich next door.
So now I kind of suspect there is something wrong with his birth."
Because Chris was present, Yin En couldn't speak directly, but Liu Xing was able to understand what Yin En meant.
In the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, all the places related to the original work are full of "outstanding people". Players will definitely trigger the module as long as they enter, and the difficulty of the module is very high... More importantly,
The module density in these places is astonishingly high. For example, the town of Innsmouth, which is a little bigger, can accommodate five modules at the same time.
As for Dunwich, it can be regarded as a famous place in the Cthulhu mythology. After all, it is supported by the work of the same name. However, because the important characters in the work have already received lunch, the modules related to Dunwich are relatively common.
, basically all related to various secret churches... Yes, these secret churches are trying to find the secrets of the past, and want to see if they can contact Yog-Sothoth.
Of course, some people who were born in the same year as the Dunwich Incident became no longer ordinary due to some unknown reasons, but their extraordinary aspects were also very different, such as having an extra hand, an extra eye,
Or maybe they have unusual hearing, or have the ability to see through walls.
Therefore, Liu Xing now began to suspect that Professor Fieri was also such a person, which was why he became an orphan, but he also became a professor at Miskatonic University.
Not long after, Yin En said to Liu Xing: "Professor Fieri is here, but on the surface he is just an ordinary old man, there is nothing special about him."
Liu Xing nodded and was about to greet Professor Fierli, but Professor Fierli beat him to it.
"Mr. Turnard, we haven't seen you for a long time."
Hearing what Professor Fierli said, Liu Xing could only reply casually, "Long time no see, Mr. Fierli."
Professor Feierli looked at Liu Xing and continued: "You are still as young as before, and I have always carefully preserved the things you left for me, and I can guarantee that they will be exactly the same as before!"
"That's good."
Because he didn’t know what Turnard had done back then, Liu Xing knew that he was now making more mistakes than he was talking too much, so he started the word-sparing mode and only used the fewest words to respond to Professor Fieri.
"Then let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly. But what's wrong with you now, Mr. Turnard? Is there something wrong with your eyes?" Feierli asked with concern.
"Oh, it's like this. I was assassinated yesterday, so I may be temporarily blind for two days."
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Professor Feierli frowned and said: "It's this kind of thing again. As far as I know, this is the fifth time this month that something similar has happened to teachers and students of Miskatonic University."
It happened, and it is said that this is a gadget created by a secret church. Because the method of use is complicated and it takes a long time to have a certain chance of taking effect, the actual combat effect is almost zero, so it can only be used to make people sick.
people."
I see.
Liu Xing finally understood why Baihe City had tricked him so much. This guy came all the way to make him sick.
After sitting down in a random cafe, Professor Fierli took out a small box from his pocket.
Liu Xing touched the small box with his hand and determined that its size and height were similar to a box for bracelets, so the thing inside might be a certain piece of jewelry... Could it be the ring that Chris mentioned before?
However, as expected, this small box has a small lock on it, so Liu Xing cannot open the box now to find out.
Ever since, Liu Xing accepted the small box and said seriously: "Mr. Fayeli, thank you for helping me keep this thing over the years, but I still hope you can keep this secret for me, because I don't want to
Some people with ulterior motives know this about me."
Professor Feierli nodded and replied equally seriously: "Of course, I will keep this secret forever, because without Mr. Turnard, I would not have achieved what I have today."
When people get old, they always start to recall the past involuntarily, so Professor Fierli also talked about how he met Turner.
At that time, Feierli was still a primary school student. Because he was an orphan, he could only study in a very poor elementary school. As for why Feierli became an orphan, it was the same as Liu Xing thought before, because he had more children.
He had an eye, but this eye was on Feierli's back.
Fortunately, this eye has always been closed, and after a doctor's examination, it was determined that this eye was just a shape and would not really have the ability to serve as an eye, so Feierli
That’s why he was not sent away again by the director of the orphanage.
It is precisely because this eye grows on the back, and the staff at the orphanage deliberately concealed this matter, that Feierli's secret was not known to others, which also gave Feierli some trouble.
He had a pretty good childhood, but at this time Fieri was just an ordinary person.
Until Fierli met Turnard.
At that time, Turner came into contact with Fieri as a substitute teacher.
In America, substitute teaching is also a profession, because after America's school recruits a teacher, it is difficult for the school to expel the teacher unless the teacher voluntarily resigns or he makes a very serious mistake.
This teacher may need to spend a lot of money to send this teacher away, so some teachers with average or even poor abilities will think of various ways to perform very well in the interview. In this way,
As long as you are successfully admitted, you can do whatever you want in school, and the school will have nothing to do with you.
Of course, the above are only a few cases, but this also means that if other teachers have to be absent for a long time due to various reasons, the school cannot fire them, and must retain their original establishment to ensure that
These teachers can take over their original jobs after returning to campus, so the school can only hire a substitute teacher who can come and go as soon as possible.
Therefore, some professional substitute teachers will teach in several schools a year, and they also move across several states. Therefore, the school does not know much about these substitute teachers, as long as their teaching ability is satisfactory.
As a result, Turner successfully became Fierli's teacher.
Then one day, Tener suddenly came to Fayeli and directly revealed Fayeli's secret, which was the eyes behind Fayeli.
