But having said that, as a fan of certain historical novels, especially the novels of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Xing still knows that the book "The Art of Taiping" that Zhang Jiao obtained from the old immortal Nanhua in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not actually the real book.
"Taiping Yaoshu", which is also the "Taiping Jing" in the Taoist classics.
So what is the prototype of Zhang Jiao's book "The Art of Taiping"?
Zhuangzi's "Nanhua Sutra".
Therefore, many players in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall believe that Zhuangzi is also one of the vests of the King in Yellow.
Of course, in the eyes of those players, all historical figures related to the yellow character in Chinese history are vests of the King in Yellow, such as the Yellow Emperor and so on...
"If you have no other opinions, then I will go and buy the treasure that the fanatic believer talks about later. Although this may not necessarily be the "Essential Art of Taiping" in Zhang Jiao's hand, even if I buy the original copy
It is also a huge profit for us, because I heard that the original version of "The Art of Taiping" seems to have been lost." Zhang Jingxu said.
Liu Xing and others nodded and agreed to Zhang Jingxu's purchase plan.
Ever since, Zhang Jingxu took enough work points and went out again, but this time Zhang Jingxu also brought King Kong and Arhat to be on the safe side. After all, Blackstone Mountain Prison only prohibits fighting between prisoners, so from time to time, fanatics will take advantage of this.
Black eats black.
You can't hit me anyway, so it doesn't matter if you scold me a few times.
Therefore, Zhang Jingxu must be prepared to let King Kong and Arhat "invite" him back as a guest if the other party intends to take advantage of others.
After Zhang Jingxu and others left, Yin En said with a smile: "Actually, I am still looking forward to this book "The Art of Taiping", because "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" made this book "The Art of Taiping" so amazing.
, Conjuring wind and rain are all amazing spells, it would be great if we could also learn them."
In real-world Cthulhu group games, players can often learn spells unconditionally. They only need to obtain a magic book and learn enough time to use the spell.
However, in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, it is possible that in order to improve the professionalism of magicians, it has increased the difficulty for players to learn spells, making it almost impossible for players with non-mage professions to teach themselves, while wizards
Professional players also need to spend more time and energy learning spells.
This is also the reason why Liu Xing and others did not follow Zhang Jingxu to learn spells, because it was too troublesome, and they were able to use fireball to light cigarettes in a short time...
"Wake up, it's still daytime." Zhang Wenbing said: "I also had the opportunity to learn spells before, and I was also interested in learning spells. Unfortunately, I was kicked out of the apprenticeship within two days of my apprenticeship, because I was really
He has no talent for learning magic."
"Me too." Peng Lijin said with deep sympathy: "My father is also a well-known fortune teller in the local area. He can predict the bloody disaster that I will have a week in advance, or help others predict it.
Where is the missing son now? It’s a pity that I really can’t learn his skills, otherwise I can now predict those fanatical believers in T area who are suitable for us to attack.”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and looked at Peng Lijin with surprise. He didn't expect that his father was actually a fortune teller.
You must know that this is a famous hidden profession in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, because the exclusive skill of this profession - fortune telling is so powerful that it can be renamed to predict the future.
This is much more reliable than Yin En's other character card - Ishikawa Rei's mysterious prophecy.
However, I don’t know if the Cthulhu Running Game Hall also read some novels when designing the fortune teller profession, so the Cthulhu Running Game Hall added an exclusive debuff to the fortune teller profession - three
Five disadvantages: Every time you use fortune-telling skills, regardless of success or failure, you will permanently lose certain attribute values.
Therefore, in Liu Xing’s impression, the number of players who are currently professional fortune tellers in the Cthulhu Game Hall is only a handful. They are world-class treasured and protected animals. As long as it is not absolutely necessary, other players will try their best to protect their safety.
.
Unfortunately, as Peng Lijin said, players who want to change their job to become a fortune teller need talent... To put it bluntly, only real European King players have the chance to successfully change their job, because this requires five consecutive shots.
Big success.
"Then it's really a pity for you. I heard that some powerful fortune tellers can really see through the sky and change their fate." Ding Kun said enviously.
"yes..."
As soon as Peng Lijin started speaking, a strange voice suddenly sounded at the door, "Will you all leave Blackstone Mountain Prison in two days?"
Liu Xing turned around and saw that the person speaking at the door was the old man with glasses who had worked with him.
The old man continued: "I have heard about the amnesty order, so I want to ask if you are within the scope of the amnesty. If so, I hope you will do me a favor after leaving Blackstone Mountain Prison."
At this moment, kp Snail said: "Congratulations to all the players for triggering a new side mission - Missing Person Notice. Players can choose whether to accept this side mission, but here I will give you a friendly reminder - this side mission
It belongs to the type of high risk and high reward, and the side task has a time limit of half a month to complete. If it times out, the side task will automatically fail, and the penalty for failure will be that all the side tasks you complete in the future can only be for you.
Provide two-thirds of the contribution income.”
After listening to kp Snail's words, Liu Xing and others couldn't help but look at each other, because this side task seemed difficult, and failure would be extremely severe.
If each side task only yields two-thirds of the income, then Liu Xing and others will directly drop out of the top of the rankings. After all, the rewards you get after completing three side tasks can only be compared with players of the same level who complete two side tasks.
Rewards are flat.
Moreover, this side mission is a mission that is limited to half a month... Although this is half a month, it still has to exclude the three days of staying at Black Rock Mountain and the two days of returning to Osaka to rest, so it is really
The time available to carry out this side mission is only ten days.
The most important thing is that this side mission may need to go to the territory of the public faction to complete. If this is the case, the difficulty of this side mission will rise to another level.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that to be on the safe side, it was better for him to refuse this side task, even though this side task might bring him generous rewards.
But before Liu Xing could speak, Yin En said first: "Yes, we will leave Blackstone Mountain Prison in two days, so sir, please tell us what help you need from us. If it is convenient, we will be happy to do so."
I’m here to help you, but if it’s inconvenient, then we won’t be able to help.”
The old man outside the door nodded, walked in and said: "No problem, the favor I need from you is actually very simple. That is to find someone for me after leaving Blackstone Mountain Prison, and then tell him one sentence - time is up.
."
Yin En raised his eyebrows and said half-seriously: "Old man, the words you asked us to bring are interesting. Will that person silence us after hearing it?"
Liu Xing and others nodded very cooperatively.
The old man shook his head and said seriously: "You are overthinking this. The person I want you to find is actually my grandson who has never been masked... I abandoned my wife and daughter in order to join a secret church.
, completely cut off contact with them. After I finally became the leader of the secret church, I wanted to reunite with them. It turned out that my wife died of illness not long after I left, and my daughter was also getting married.
After giving birth to my son, he died in a car accident, so this is the only grandson who is related to me by blood."
"But just when I wanted to get to know my grandson, something happened, which brought the secret church I was in to the brink of collapse, so I secretly sent some money and a key to my grandson.
The key corresponds to a safe deposited in a bank, but the safe needs a password to open, and the password is hidden in the sentence I just said. As long as my grandson does not throw away the code book I gave him,
He should be able to take out the contents of that safe."
"Oh, there should be a trump card in that safe that will allow you to make a comeback, old man, right?" Yin En guessed.
The old man sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, I thought I would only be imprisoned in an ordinary prison and could be released after ten or twenty years, but I didn't expect that I would be imprisoned directly in Blackstone.
Mountain Prison is a hellish place, and I will never leave Blackstone Mountain Prison again in my lifetime, because no one else knows about the existence of my grandson except you, so I am not included in this amnesty order."
"Then why didn't you report this situation to the superiors? I believe they will consider letting you leave Blackstone Mountain Prison after knowing that you have a grandson." Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.
As a result, the old man quickly shook his head and said: "That's not possible, because although the secret church I am in has been destroyed, my enemies outside are still alive and well, so if I expose that I have a grandson,
In fact, those damn bastards will definitely come and kill them all, so for the safety of my grandson, I can only choose to keep this secret and continue to stay in Blackstone Mountain Prison."
"Then old man, do you believe in us so much? Aren't you worried that we are also your enemies?" Liu Xing then asked.
The old man smiled and said seriously to Liu Xing: "I'm really not worried about this, because I actually know a kind of magic that can focus my hearing on a certain point, so I am in the brewing center
I heard the conversation between you and Murakami Nishiyasu at that time, and I know that you are not someone sent by my enemies, because my enemies have also sent people to Blackstone Mountain Prison before to get rid of me, so if you are someone sent by my enemies,
It’s impossible for you not to know what I look like, that’s why I chose to come to you for cooperation.”
Liu Xing frowned. He didn't expect that his conversation with Murakami Nishiyasu would be heard by this old man. The most important thing was that he and Murakami Nishiyasu had talked bad things about the old man.
At this time, Yin En took over and said: "Okay, but old man, do you know that the island country is now in chaos, divided into two factions, the public faction and the Wu faction, so it is not easy for us to go to the hostile forces.
I’ll help you with the message in the territory.”
"What, has the island country turned into this ghost state now?" The old man said in surprise, "That's it, I will tell you the information about my grandson right now. If you want to go, go, if not
Forget it if you drop by; because my daughter is married to a Chinese, my grandson’s name is Liu Xuyu, and he lives in Tokushima Prefecture in Shikoku. If nothing else happens, he should have graduated from college by now, and his most obvious feature
He suffers from a very special family hereditary disease. To put it simply, he has to go to the hospital every week to remove the effusion from his knee joint."
"Is this all the information?" Yin En said with a frown.
The old man scratched his head in embarrassment and said helplessly: "Sorry, there is only so much information I can provide you now. After all, so many years have passed. Even if I tell you some information, I may only know it."
It’s counterproductive.”
"Well, if we have the opportunity to go to the Shikoku region, we will look for your grandson, but whether we can find it is another matter. After all, it is too difficult to find someone with this little information, not to mention those people now
College students will choose to stay in big cities like Tokyo after graduation, so I suspect that he is no longer in Shikoku." Yin En said.
Of course the old man understood this, so he quickly said: "Of course, it would be great if you can find my grandson, but it doesn't matter if you don't."
The old man paused and continued: "To thank you for your help, if you really find my grandson, you can follow him to get the safe. By then, the contents of the safe will be except for some gold, silver, jewelry and passbooks.
Besides, you can take the remaining things. After all, my grandson is an ordinary person and he doesn’t need those things."
It seems that "those things" the old man mentioned should be the rewards of this side mission.
"Okay then, we will try to find your grandson." Yin En nodded and said.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Yin En immediately contacted KP Snail, "KP, I'm only superficially agreeing to that old man, and I don't really want to accept the side mission. You must not shake your hands."
