After getting ready, Liu Xing and the other two slowly walked to the door of the Taoist temple. Of course, before doing so, Liu Xing did not forget to tell the others in the car to let them be ready for support at any time.
In this way, Liu Xing and others arrived at the main gate of the Taoist temple without any danger. However, what surprised Liu Xing and the others was that the gate of the Taoist temple was locked from the inside.
"It's interesting. If the lock was on the outside, it would be okay, but it turns out that it is locked from the inside. So if there are no other entrances and exits to this Taoist temple, it means that there may be people living in the Taoist temple.
And he also raised a chicken." Liu Xing said in a low voice.
"It's also possible that someone hid in the Taoist temple because of something, and then never got out again." Ding Kun shook his head and said: "And the wall of this Taoist temple is not too high. As long as you are better, you can climb over it directly."
When you come out, even ordinary people can find something to use as a foothold inside, and then they can dig it out in an unseemly manner. In short, it doesn't mean anything if it's locked inside."
As Ding Kun spoke, he observed the situation inside the Taoist temple through the crack in the door, "It is also overgrown with weeds, and I can't see anything for the time being, but now I can confirm that the door lock of this Taoist temple is of the push-pull type.
If we're lucky, there shouldn't be any other locks on this lock."
After saying that, Ding Kun picked out a suitable branch on the ground, the kind with forks, so that he could easily pick the door lock.
As a professional, Ding Kun quickly opened the door lock, "It seems that we are lucky, we don't need to climb over the wall to get in, but it stands to reason that a push-pull door lock like this should be matched with an ordinary door lock.
To use it, so I also began to suspect that there might be someone else in this Taoist temple, or something else, so we need to cheer up now and pay attention to all the movements around us."
However, when Yin En pushed the door open, there was a "crack, creak" sound as expected. It was obvious that the bearing of the door lacked necessary maintenance.
At this time, Liu Xing saw several pheasants flying out of the grass.
"They are all pheasants." Yin En breathed a sigh of relief, "The difference between domestic chickens and pheasants is quite big. I used to catch a few pheasants when I went back to my hometown, because the hilltop where my hometown is located has basically been
There are no people living there, and the vegetables and rice grown before have not been cleaned up, so they have degenerated into wild varieties, but they are enough for the little animals to eat and drink."
Speaking of pheasants, Liu Xing remembered that a large white bird often flew over his hometown. At that time, Liu Xing tried to use a slingshot to feed himself, but later Liu Xing learned that this bird was called an egret.
, if you knock it off, you can indeed eat more, and you can eat and drink for free for a few years...
Back to the topic.
After avoiding the pheasants running around, Liu Xing and the other two tried to throw a few stones into the grass. After seeing that nothing strange appeared again, they boldly approached the grass.
Because there is a large incense burner in the grass, and there seems to be something shining hidden inside, making it difficult for people not to notice.
Professional things should be done by professionals.
Before entering the Taoist temple, Ding Kun reminded Liu Xing and the two of them to follow his arrangements. After all, Ding Kun still had some experience in facing this kind of situation, because he had received similar training courses and his results were still excellent.
So Ding Kun asked Liu Xing and Liu Xing to stop and be on guard, while he picked up his pistol and pointed it at the inside of the incense burner, and then slowly approached the incense burner.
Not long after, Ding Kun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, this is just a piece of crystal."
After Ding Kun finished speaking, he showed the crystal in his hand to Liu Xing and Liu Xing. It looked similar to the crystal icons in many games, which is a transparent prism with sharp ends.
etc!
Liu Xing suddenly noticed a detail and reached out to grab the crystal. One end of the crystal seemed to be broken, so there was a medium-sized wound. The most important thing was that the more Liu Xing looked at the wound, the more familiar it became.
That's right, Liu Xing felt that the reason why this crystal became like this was all caused by himself!
In other words, this crystal once belonged to Liu Xing.
"Liu Xing, do you think there's anything wrong with this crystal? But I think it's just an ordinary crystal. Even if it's intact and placed in a scenic spot, it can be sold for tens of dollars at most." Yin
En asked.
Liu Xing shook his head and replied seriously: "If I remember correctly, this crystal should be mine, or it once belonged to me. However, after a move, I never saw this crystal again."
Already."
When Liu Xing was still young, his grandfather had a friend who ran a ranch in the border area, so he would send Liu Xing's grandfather some things every year, such as deer antlers, dried fruits, and once he sent a few pieces.
Crystals, it is said that these crystals were dug out by him himself.
Because of curiosity and liking, Liu Xing brought a piece of crystal home, and would play with it when he had nothing to do. As a result, one time he accidentally dropped the crystal that he was not holding firmly and made a hole in the floor.
Liu Xing got interested and wanted to compare who is harder with this crystal and other things.
At this time, Liu Xing did not know that the hardness of the crystal reached 7, which is one of the hardest common objects. However, the crystal was also very brittle, so a piece of the crystal fell off without Liu Xing tossing it a few times.
As a result, this originally beautiful crystal suddenly had a big flaw, which made Liu Xing immediately lose interest and just put it on the desk as an ornament.
Then one afternoon, after Liu Xing returned to the clinic after school, she heard Liu's mother say that her family had changed their residence and had completed the move.
Since then, Liu Xing has never seen this crystal again, but Liu Xing has always thought that this crystal may have been put in a glove box by his parents when they moved and brought to the new home, and then this glove box
I just threw it on the closet and put it away, never to be opened again.
As a result, Liu Xing did not expect that he would see this crystal at this time and at this place!
After listening to Liu Xing's story, Tian Qing on the other end of the earphone said: "It turns out to be this crystal. I remember Liu Xing, you mentioned this crystal before, and said that if this crystal is still with you, you
I’m going to use this crystal to smash Teacher Zhang’s window.”
"Ah, I thought Liu Xing would make something out of this crystal and give it to you." Li Mengyao said in surprise.
Liu Xing smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said, "Isn't it that that guy Lao Zhang always targets me and thinks I'm the one who brought you down? And his house is actually equipped with thickened glass.
So ordinary rocks can’t be broken at all.”
Lao Zhang here was Liu Xing and Tian Qing's class teacher in high school. Then one day after studying in the evening, he went to the boys' dormitory to have something to do. As a result, he saw Liu Xing and Tian Qing walking together upstairs in the dormitory, so he knew Liu Xing
Actually got together with Tian Qing.
At that time, Tian Qing was Lao Zhang's class representative, so Lao Zhang disliked Liu Xing, a poacher, so if someone was selected to answer questions in class, there was a 30% chance that Liu Xing would be selected directly...
As for why the windows of Lao Zhang’s house are made of thick glass, it is said that it is because Lao Zhang feels that winter is too cold, so he installs thick glass to keep warm. After all, there is no heating here in Chengdu, but it is really a bit cold in winter, especially
It's when the wind blows.
But talking about Lao Zhang, Liu Xing remembered another thing, that is, Lao Zhang decided to resign from school two years ago, and then he found a few friends to jointly open an extracurricular tutoring class. As a result, it only took more than a year.
Time has hit the new regulations, and I don’t know how he is doing now...
"If this crystal is really the one you broke, Liu Xing, it means that this Taoist temple is indeed the place where the module prepared by Turner took place, and this crystal is also the one that Turner has guessed we will be in in advance.
It is a stepping stone in the real world, so I deliberately put it here to remind us. After all, I don’t think other people would put a crystal in this incense burner when they are idle; and this place is hundreds of kilometers away from Chengdu, Liu Xing, you
Even if the piece of crystal was thrown away when moving, there is no way it could have traveled so far to Heshan County, not to mention that the crystal is really worthless, and you haven't done any engraving to increase its value."
Yin En looked around and continued: "This Taoist temple is not too big. It is just a main hall and a few bungalows for people to live in. The kitchen and other things should be behind the main hall. If we want to search, it won't cost much.
time, and none of these rooms seem to be locked."
"Then let's act together. If we were in a movie, big trouble would definitely happen if we act alone." Ding Kun said with a smile.
So, after Liu Xing put away the crystal, the three of them opened the door of the main hall of the Taoist temple together. However, this is the main hall, which is a room of only more than 20 square meters. Of course, the ceiling of this room will be
relatively high.
As for the statues in the main hall, they are relatively simple. They are the Earth God and the Dragon King, plus a Guanyin Bodhisattva.
It seems that this place is said to be a Taoist temple, but in fact it is a place where locals can pray to gods and worship Buddha, so the statues placed are so down-to-earth.
"These statues all look normal. There is nothing special about them. However, I found that there are no signs of damage to the wooden structures in the Taoist temple. It seems that the rats did not come here to grind their teeth."
Yin En squatted in front of a futon and said: "And there is not much dust on these futons, but the doors and windows here are close to each other, so this little dust can be justified, but it cannot be ruled out that there are other people here.
The possibility of coming.”
Liu Xing looked at the dust on the ground and the footprints made by his group and said: "There are only our footprints here now, so it means that we are the only ones who have been here in a short period of time, but we are in the real world.
, so when you get to the Cthulhu Run game lobby, it may be a different scene."
"So the things in the real world are for reference only. We just need to familiarize ourselves with the terrain. As for the specific situation, it will be discussed in the module."
As soon as Ding Kun finished speaking, Zhang Jingxu's voice rang out, "Well, we have arrived in Xinheshan County. We just found a place to eat and asked the boss by the way. We have confirmed that what Huang Qiu and the others said is true; but
The boss also mentioned another thing, that is, the Taoist temple you are in now is actually very famous, because the previous temple owner was very accurate in fortune telling and sold good medicine for bruises, but one day the temple owner said he wanted to go out
I wandered around and never came back again. Counting the time, it must have been more than ten years, so this Taoist temple was abandoned."
"More importantly, the statues originally placed in this Taoist temple are very niche, the kind that ordinary people have never heard of, and these statues were all made by the temple owner himself, so these statues are used in the Taoist temple.
After it was abandoned, it was scrapped along with it. The later Dragon Princes, Earth Gods, etc. were all moved here by other people to prepare to reuse this Taoist temple. After all, this Taoist temple is not far from the city; but this Taoist temple reopened soon.
One day, the newly moved people encountered a strange thing - there were footsteps in the courtyard, but these footsteps sounded like they were walking in place, and the most important thing is that they didn't see anyone in the courtyard."
"Then those people living in the Taoist temple began to suffer from stiff necks, facial paralysis and other symptoms. In severe cases, they even had tinnitus. However, this was called tinnitus, but in fact they heard someone mumbling something in their ears.
But they couldn't hear clearly what it was saying... So these people quickly chose to run away, and just after they left the Taoist temple, their stiff neck and other things were cured all of a sudden, but the person who suffered from tinnitus...
Unfortunately, it took more than a month to return to normal, so no one wanted to reopen the Taoist temple after that. As for why this happened, the boss said that many people thought it was the Taoist priest who used it before leaving.
Lu Ban Shu."
Luban Shu?
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said: "It is said that the "Book of Lu Ban" left by Lu Ban is divided into two volumes. The first volume teaches people how to work, while the second volume teaches people how to protect themselves, or use magic to protect themselves.
To retaliate against bad employers, for example, after repairing a house, if the employer is unwilling to pay the money agreed at the beginning, then the craftsman can find a place to bury a piece of pork, so that the employer will smell it as long as he stays in the house.
I can smell the smell, but I can’t find the source of it.”
