At the same time, Liu Xing, who was thousands of miles away, had already had dinner.
The dinner prepared by Governor Han was all local specialties, but since a small place like Feicheng didn't have any specialties, it was just a table of home-cooked dishes, but the taste was quite good.
At the dinner table, Prefect Han suddenly mentioned something, "By the way, I heard a very strange thing recently. I thought you might be able to tell His Highness the Third Prince when you return to Liangcheng, envoy! Just as I
A friend went out to visit his grandson some time ago. When he came back, he met a group of very strange people on the road. These people were all dressed in black robes, and each of them was driving a black goat. But at the end of the walk,
The person in front was holding a black goat calf, which looked like it was only a few days old."
Black goats? And black goat babies?
Hearing these two keywords, Liu Xing quickly pricked up his ears, but it was not easy to ask Han Taishou directly, because Han Taishou's words were clearly meant for Lei, and he was an old-school cultural person.
, so Liu Xing had to abide by etiquette at this time to avoid being "blackballed" by Prefect Han.
"Oh? The behavior of these people is indeed a bit strange, but in my impression, there are no evil heretics who would let their people do this, and the sheep we raise here are mainly sheep, so if I are asked
It may take a lot of time for Liangcheng to find a group of black goats, and it may not be possible to find a sufficient number."
Yu Lei's words made Liu Xing quickly check the memory of "Liu Peng", and found that the goat producing areas of the Xinlong Empire had to go far to the south, so the sheep farmers under the third prince's rule were all
Raise sheep.
For example, in the Bai family's pasture, almost all white sheep are raised, because white wool is more popular. Every year, special people will come to buy the Bai family's wool, and those variegated wool will be bought by the white sheep.
Keep it for your own use.
Of course, the Bai family also felt that the white wool echoed their family name, which was a good sign, so they bought a white cow from somewhere a few years ago and served it deliciously.
This cow even has a shepherd assigned to it.
According to Baihe City, his character card got drunk a few years ago, and then wanted to ride the white bull away. Then, not surprisingly, he was beaten up by his father himself.
So just like Yu Lei said, there are really few goats to be found in this three-thirds of an acre, let alone the even rarer black goats.
But when it comes to black goats, Liu Xing can't help but think of one thing, that is, his hometown is also one of the main producing areas of black goats!
So Liu Xing recalled the mutton soup he had eaten as a child, and found that many of the goats tied up at the door of those stores were black goats.
Could it be that at this time, I have an intersection with the Cthulhu Run Game Hall?
Ahem, just kidding, Liu Xing also knows that this black goat cub has nothing to do with the black goat. At most, they have some similar names! This is just like wife cakes and couple's lung slices, the names are for reference only.
But, this is the Cthulhu Run game hall, so the appearance of a group of strange people related to the black goat cubs will inevitably make players think too much.
After all, among the players who can come to this martial arts module, who has never heard of the name of the Black Goat Cub?
Therefore, Liu Xing estimated that the group of people traveling with the Black Goat were probably the bad taste of those players back then.
However, there is no guarantee that these people are good people. They might also be a group of evil heretics! It’s just that they are a little more unconventional and like to use black goats as their mascots.
"Logically speaking, it is impossible for those evil heretics to walk on the road so carelessly. Moreover, these people wear black robes on hot days. They are really not afraid of the heat. At the same time, these people are still leading a sheep.
This seems even more strange. After all, these sheep are quite honest. As long as you can control the leader sheep, the rest of the sheep will follow you obediently, so this is unreasonable, 100% unreasonable!"
Yu Lei took a sip of wine and continued to ask: "So Governor Han, after your friend met these weirdos, did these weirdos cause trouble for your friend? Or did your friend encounter something strange again?"
"That's not true, because after my friend saw these weirdos, he immediately chose to ignore them, and then left quickly, and these weirdos didn't do anything to him, and continued to be addicted to their own world, unable to extricate themselves.
He just took those black goats and continued walking; after he returned to Philadelphia, he might have been frightened for the first two days, so he had a little loss of appetite and his sleep was also affected, but he was fine within two days.
Because nothing strange happened, he just thought there might be something wrong with those people's brains."
Prefect Han said seriously: "However, I always feel that this matter is not simple, because we all know people who can do such things. If there is one person, we can still say that he has a brain problem, and if there are two, we can also say
It is said that they are two fools who got together to make trouble, but with so many people getting together to do such strange things, then I can only think of one possibility, that is, these guys must have gone crazy! So if you, the messenger,
If you have time, please discuss this matter with His Highness the Third Prince, I am worried that these people will do something against you in the future!"
"Well, even if these weirdos are not evil heretics, they may still make the people around them uneasy, which will also be a problem at that time."
Yu Lei put down his chopsticks and said with some confusion: "But, it's been so long since this incident, and I haven't heard any other news about it, so it's not easy to find these weirdos now. After all, they are also
They are all wearing black robes, so people who see them probably don’t know what they look like, or even whether they are male or female, right?”
At this moment, Han Yu, who had been silent beside Prefect Han, suddenly said: "Well, I seem to have seen a similar story from an ancient book! It's just that this ancient book belongs to a friend of mine, and he is here
I moved to another place a few years ago, and then we lost contact directly, so I can't guarantee whether the content in my memory is completely correct, so if you want to hear it, Messenger, I will tell you what you don't want to hear.
Let’s forget it.”
Since Han Yu has said so, it is impossible for Yu Lei to really not listen. Moreover, in this martial arts module, many records in ancient books are quite reliable, because there are novelists who have included the characters in those stories.
Mythological colors and elements of strange things have been absorbed into the novels written by them, so the contents in other ancient books can withstand scrutiny, and the accuracy rate should be about 77% to 88%.
Seeing Yu Lei nodding, Han Yu couldn't wait to say: "Although this ancient book was written by an unknown person, some friends and I speculated based on the content of this book that it was probably written a hundred years ago, and
The author should be a man named Niu Xing, who was Mr. Niu Bi from Liangcheng back then."
Niu Xing?
When he just heard the name, Liu Xing was shocked, because Liu Xing did not expect that the author of the ancient book in Han Yu's mouth had the same "same name" as himself. However, when Han Yu mentioned "Mr. Niu Bi", Liu Xing
We also know that this person is actually called Niu Xing, because he is also a famous person who can be recorded in the local annals of Liangcheng. Therefore, Liu Xing just heard his title and the situation of this person automatically appeared in his mind.
In short, Niu Xing is a novelist who once worked as a master at Zhuzi College for a period of time. However, because of his father's sudden death, he chose to go home and observe mourning for three years, and then stayed in Liangcheng to start a bookstore business.
, and most novelists either became storytellers or bookstore owners after they started teaching. Of course, they usually choose me and want them all!
So when Niu Xing opened a bookstore, he would often set up a tea stall at the door of his bookstore, and then sit there and start telling stories. Therefore, as long as there is a tea stall in front of Niu Xing's bookstore, it means that there are good stories to tell.
I heard it, so in less than a quarter of an hour, the tea stall was filled with people.
Of course, if you want to sit in a tea stall and drink tea and listen to stories, you definitely don’t have money, because for novelists, money is never a problem. The problem is that there are no new stories in your head, so if you want to
If you want to sit in the VIP position and listen to Niu Xing tell a story, you have to tell Niu Xing a story before Niu Xing starts telling the story. No matter how long or short the story is, as long as it has something new, you can get a few brands from Niu Xing, and then
You can take the sign and go to the tea stall to take a seat, and finally drink tea happily and listen to the story.
That's right, Niu Xing's operation reminded Liu Xing of a person - Pu Songling!
It is said that Pu Songling was able to write "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" because he opened a tea stall for passers-by to drink tea and rest for free. However, these passers-by had to tell Pu Songling a story, so Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" could contain recent stories.
Five hundred stories.
Among them, Liu Xing likes "Rakshasa Haishi" the most, a story about using ugliness as beauty and reversing right and wrong.
So Niu Xing in this martial arts module, like Pu Songling, wrote a "Niu Bi Story Collection" at the last moment of his life, which recorded thousands of different stories, and Niu Xing was also in this book
It was written in the book that he was just a collector of these stories, and at most he had made some polishes, so he did not dare to call himself the author of the book, so he only left the two words "niubi", which means that this
This book is written by "Niu Xing".
As a result, Niu Xing was also called Mr. Niu Bi.
However, in Liu Xing's opinion, this Niu Xing is probably a joke played by the players back then, because Niu Xing was obviously targeting Pu Songling, and his name has a similar pronunciation to his own, so Liu Xing
There is reason to suspect that Niu Xing's name is a "tribute" to himself.
As for Niu Xing's identity as a writer, Liu Xing remembered that when he was growing up between scenes, he once encountered the choice of an "online author", and he who had just joined the Cthulhu Running Team game lobby was faced with
When Wu Lei was working, he also started by saying that he wanted to become an online author and write a novel related to the Cthulhu Run game!
From this point of view, I may have really been an online author back then, because I originally liked reading novels, and my Chinese language skills were not bad, so whether it was to make some extra money or for other reasons, I became an online author.
This is normal. After all, there is no threshold for becoming an online author. As long as you can type and use the Internet, you can become an online author.
So, does this also prove that you are also the first batch of players in the Cthulhu Game Hall?
But, why don’t I have any memory of that year?
While Liu Xing was thinking about his past, Han Yu continued: "You may have heard that although Niu Xing only has one work on the surface, of course this work can be divided into hundreds of books.
, so we can be sure that Niu Xing's writing efficiency is quite high, so many people think that Niu Xing actually has other works, but they have not been published due to various reasons; and the ancient book I read before is
This is because many details in that book are quite similar to those written by Niu Xing, and some stories are repeated, but the stories in this book look more like drafts."
"But this is not too important. What is important is that this book mentions a god named Forest Black Goat. Although this god's name is a bit strange, its ability is very powerful and can turn the entire forest
All become their own domain, and its descendants, those black goats, will also turn into a huge monster! Of course, if someone happens to be standing next to the black goat that is about to transform, then this person will also be like the black goat.
The goat merges into one body, and the human is still in charge of this new body."
"So, the followers of the forest black goat will carry a black goat with them. The purpose is that when their gods show their power, they can become powerful sons of gods and serve their gods.
The work! At the end of this story, it is mentioned that in a dense forest north of Boyang City, the forest black goat once lived, and it was also the place where it last appeared in the world, but the most important thing is this
There are many black goats in the forest that have completed their transformation!"
Um?
Both Liu Xing and Yu Lei's eyes widened, because according to Han Yu, the forest black goat's residence is near Wangxiang Terrace. It can even be said that it lives in Wangxiang Terrace!
But more importantly, Liu Xing can be sure that this so-called black goat of the forest is the black goat of the forest - Shub Nicholas!
It's just that the black goat cub has been downgraded from a mythical creature to an ordinary black goat, and may even be taken away by ordinary people.
Here I would like to explain my current situation, which is why I haven’t updated my new book yet. To put it simply, I have a slight heart problem, so I will have an operation at the beginning of next month. Unless it is a big failure, it should be nothing.
questionable.
As for the specific time, we still have to wait for the indication for surgery, but it will probably be around next week.
So I will take a rest tomorrow and have a good meal, and then I can prepare for the surgery. Of course, I will also prepare some archives to ensure that there will not be a long break in updating. As for the new book, I will have to wait for my recovery first.
Finally, if I really fail in my submission, someone will send out the rest of my manuscripts, and then everyone can wait for me to fall asleep and let you experience what audio novels are.
