After drinking tea for a while, Liu Xing and his two men returned to Zhang Jingxu's home together. This was also regarded as the secret base of Liu Xing and his party.
"I don't know how the situation is in Boyang City. How is Zhang Jingxu doing there?" Liu Xing said with some worry.
Although the strength of the Zhangjiamen is relatively average, the problem is that the old head of the Zhangjiamen is extremely powerful, so the three young masters are likely to go to the old head to support themselves. If their strength is not good enough, they will also ask the old head to maintain absolute strength.
of neutrality.
In the world of martial arts, masters have the ability to change the direction of an event.
"Then it depends on what the old boss thinks."
Yin En’s thoughts are similar to Liu Xing’s. “In this incident, the old master’s influence actually exceeded that of the Zhangjiamen, so the old master’s idea is the Zhangjiamen’s position! But we also share the old master’s story.
You know, he doesn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to join this incident... I just don't know if this incident will produce a task or a series of tasks, but then again, this Boyang City at least
Eighty percent of the players joined the alliance, and then 80% of them followed us to Sweetwater Town, so there should not be many players who can participate in the Boyang City mission."
"Yes, there may not be many players in Boyang City now, and the players who have joined our alliance cannot focus on this, because as long as they are clear-headed, they should be able to understand their mission this time.
There won't be much benefit, but it may also cause disaster, so unless they are sure that they can complete the task, not many people will choose to join this plot, right? Of course, we have to prepare for the worst
Be prepared, there will be players who will cause trouble for the alliance."
"Alliance? What alliance? Haven't we not established an alliance yet? And even if we have established an alliance, what do these players who have not come to Tianshui Town to submit their names have to do with us?" Liu Xing pretended to be stupid.
"Hahaha, Liu Xing, there's nothing wrong with you saying that. Those NPCs don't know about the existence of the alliance, so we can completely cut ties with them. If that doesn't work, we will turn back to Far West City." Yin En said with a smile.
Liu Xing stretched, looked at the Yehou statue in the room and said: "Fortunately, Zhang Jingxu's yard is in a good location. As long as I move within the scope of Heshan County, I don't need to worry about going beyond the control of this statue. But
Having said that, this thing is quite troublesome and I will have to take it with me wherever I go from now on."
"Yes, this statue is not a figure in the real world. You can just pick up a bag and take it away."
Yin En shook his head and asked curiously: "So Liu Xing, you have had this statue for so long, do you think this statue has any impact on you?"
Liu Xing thought for a while and said: "This statue also made me have a few strange dreams. For example, when I was in Liu Dazui's yard before, I dreamed about squirrels and pine trees that night! And my second
I really saw the snow squirrel in the sky, so I suspect that this statue may have a prophetic function, but it can only be triggered when I am sleeping, and the predictions are all trivial things."
"But I remember that Yehou doesn't have the ability to predict, right? So this should be a common ability of this series of modules."
Yin En analyzed: "This Night Roar statue is just one of them. There are other statues being sent to players all over the world, so if you don't put these statues together, there should be no way to enter the second stage.
Plot.”
"That's true, but the problem is, who knows where the other statues have been sent? And there is no reliable means of transportation in this module, plus the main plot is about to start, I
An unarmed and powerless doctor may not be able to go very far without encountering all kinds of troubles... So to be honest, I think the plots and tasks hidden in these statues may be
It’s not that easy to trigger, or in other words, it’s not even ready for players like us to trigger it!” Liu Xing complained.
"Ah? Probably not? Now that these statues have appeared, it is unlikely that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will cancel the tasks and plots attached to them? Or will it make it more difficult to trigger?" Yin En
He shook his head and said.
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that some players have encountered hidden tasks in the module that are almost impossible to trigger, because they learned about the existence of this hidden task through various methods, but if they want to trigger this hidden task, they need to
Obtain a certain prop, but it is impossible for this prop to appear in this module; so those players thought that after some hidden tasks were designed, they may need to be reviewed in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, and the result was
I passed it directly, but this module will be online soon, so the Cthulhu Run Game Hall simply removed the key props or characters that triggered this hidden mission from the module, so that there is no need to worry about this hidden mission.
The mission will be triggered." Liu Xing said seriously.
"A bit outrageous, but understandable."
Yin En drank water and said: "So this statue may be a generator of prophetic dreams, allowing players to notice some obvious things that will happen in the future; but Liu Xing, when you get this statue, this statue
It also comes with so many introductions, it should still trigger some plots later, right? For example, when you and this statue are separated from each other for a while?"
Liu Xing shrugged and did not answer.
To be honest, Liu Xing feels that the biggest problem with this martial arts module is the lack of entertainment methods, because Liu Xing found that there are only two chess games in this module, chess and Go, and mahjong, Pai Gow and poker are missing.
So after chatting with Yin En for a while, Liu Xing felt a little bored.
It seems that after the alliance is established, it will be necessary for me to make a few sets of mahjong.
Fortunately, at this time, Baihe City came to the courtyard.
"It's almost as you thought. There are indeed a few members who are happy to live in the Liyuan now. They said they were going to a village next to Far West City to sing an opera, so they just came over in a carriage, but this carriage was open-topped.
, so you can come with that bronze bell! And I also asked specifically that the bronze bell next to the tower suddenly appeared this morning, but when the bell rang, no one nearby saw it.
It’s very interesting if someone or an animal appears near the bronze bell.”
Baihecheng sat down and said: "You also know that there are many businesses near the tower, so people often pass by, but they have not seen anyone ringing the bell! You must know that the sound of the bell has lasted.
After a while, this started to seem a little unreasonable.”
Liu Xing thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a reason. "The bronze bell is not so easy to ring. So if there is no one next to the bronze bell, how does the bell ring? It is impossible for someone to record it.
Then play the bell? I don’t remember that there was a tape recorder in that martial arts novel; as for ventriloquism, that’s unlikely, right? After all, we can hear the bell from such a distance, so this person’s ventriloquism must be so good
That’s it?”
"Besides, the appearance of this bronze bell is sudden enough, so why do you need to make a sound to attract everyone's attention? Wait, Liu Xing, didn't you say before that the main reason why this tower can be used as a secret warehouse is
This high tower was given a mysterious veil when it was built, so ordinary people did not dare to enter it at will. Therefore, even though this high tower looks very obtrusive in Heshan County, in fact no one cares about it; so this
The same is true for the bronze bell. Its sudden appearance and sudden ringing are actually to bind it to the tower, so that no one will care whether it is reasonable for it to appear here." Yin En said as he patted the table.
.
"No, no, no, I think the appearance of this copper bell does not make the ordinary people around it ignore it, but directly fears its existence, or its ringing! Just like this time when the copper bell rang, no one knew what it was.
How did it make the noise? Because there was no one around! You must know that this martial arts module took place in ancient times, so ordinary people still believe in ghosts and gods, so these NPCs should attribute the bells to some kind of supernatural
Element! Over time, the sudden ringing of the bell will become an urban legend. In this way, when nearby NPCs hear the bell ringing, they will choose to stay at home instead of sticking their heads out to watch.
Take a look at what happened." Baihecheng said.
Baihecheng's words reminded Liu Xing of a story his grandfather once told him, that is, there used to be a village where dogs often got into trouble in the middle of the night. They would stop making sounds after barking once or twice, and the owner would
When I woke up the next day, I found the dog hanging at the door, but there were no footprints around it! Moreover, the fields in this village were not fertile, so it was quite poor at the time, so no thieves had come here for many years, so this happened
It has something to do with the theory of ghosts and gods.
Over time, the village would lock the dogs in cages at night and cover the cages with a layer of cloth, so that no dogs would have any more accidents... As a result, a year later, it was discovered that someone in the village was
A night casino opened nearby, attracting people from all over the place to try their luck, so in order to prevent these "guests" from being discovered by dogs when they came in the middle of the night, and then the dogs barking and attracting people, so we specially
The design eliminated a few dogs, and then when everyone was discussing the matter, it led to the theory of ghosts and gods. Finally, it was a matter of course that all the other dogs in the village were driven into cages.
"I think what Baihe City said is very reasonable. As long as the bell rings two more times, if the people around still don't find out who is ringing the bell, then this copper bell that suddenly appears will have to be treated like a high tower.
It has become mysterious, so when it rings again, not many people will pay attention to why it rings! Especially at night, everyone who hears the bell may have to cover their heads to sleep; in this case,
, no matter whether Wang Quexin is purchasing or shipping goods, he does not need to worry too much that he will be discovered. Even if he is discovered, he can choose to take action directly. At that time, it can make this urban legend more terrifying and make more people aware of it.
Many people choose to believe it." Liu Xing nodded and said.
"Well, is there a possibility that the new escort agency may also be related to Wang Quexin! Because the appearance of this escort agency is very strange. After all, you have spent a lot of effort to recruit other escort agencies.
People, ended up running an escort agency in such a small place; yes, Heshan County is indeed a large-scale market, and there are many caravans coming and going, but the problem is that if these caravans need escorts, it will be very difficult.
Eighty-nine times, a certain escort agency is found at the place of departure, so it is unlikely that the escort agency will be found halfway to be responsible for escorting the escort."
Yin En continued: "Furthermore, the location chosen by this escort agency is also very interesting. You must know that the Taoist temple is the only decent building on the other side of the river, so the escort agency stationed there is naturally extremely confidential.
, they have the final say on how many people go out as escorts, so even if some of the escorts have a side job, that is not something we outsiders can know."
Liu Xing nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, if this Escort Agency is also the work of Wang Quexin, then the Escort Agency, the Liyuan and the High Tower, these three seemingly unrelated locations, were secretly contacted by Wang Quexin.
Once it is done, it will be much more convenient when doing things in the future. Even if there is a problem in one of the links, it will not have much impact on the other two links! Moreover, nine out of ten of the escorts in the escort agency are Wang Quexin.
Therefore, when necessary, we can use force to solve some problems, or send those carriages carrying private salt in and out in an open and honest manner."
"The tower is the warehouse, the opera garden is the command center, and the escort agency that will be available soon is the transfer station and security company... If all of this is true, then if we had chosen to place the alliance's headquarters in the Taoist temple, maybe it would be true
I have to fight with this Wang Quexin! I said before that I would fight with the escort agency, which seemed a bit strange. After all, the escort agency is not a bad person." Liu Xing said with a shrug.
"It seems that Wang Quexin also has a lot of ideas. When he found out that the Boyang City branch might be at risk of being discovered, he decisively chose to give up and immediately created a new branch in Heshan County! Of course.
"The power behind Wang Quexin should not be underestimated. How can ordinary forces have such powerful actions?" Baihe City said seriously.
Just when Liu Xing was about to say something, another bell rang, and it sounded like it was coming from the direction of the tower.
