Real Cthulhu Running Game

Wait, that sword falling from the sky?

Liu Xing didn't take a few steps when he suddenly thought of a question, that is, could the last sword he saw in his dream be the scrap iron sword he dug up before?

If so, wouldn’t you be at a huge loss?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but sigh, because as long as nothing unexpected happened, this scrap iron sword should have been in the hands of the third prince, so it was basically impossible for him to get it back.

There is a time in life that must be there, but there is no time in life, so don’t force it.

Liu Xing shook his head and could only continue heading towards Tianshui Mountain.

Now, Liu Xing wants to go to Tianshui Mountain and find the legendary spring.

Before Tianshui Town was burned to the ground, many people actually went up the mountain to look for springs, but they found nothing because the vegetation on Tianshui Mountain was too dense, and there were many large pieces of gravel on the surface, so if it was If you go upstream to find the spring, you have to walk more than ten meters. The stream formed by the spring water will not be found, or it may simply be divided into several tributaries.

So in the end, only one old man announced that he had found the legendary spring, but he would not tell others the location of the spring, because the spring water from this source is used to make wine, and the quality is better than other wines. many.

Therefore, after Sweetwater Town was burned to the ground, no one knew about this legendary spring, and some people even thought that this spring had been burned in the fire.

So after arriving in Tianshui Town, Liu Xing never thought about looking for this spring. Although the spring water flowing down from the mountain was quite delicious, it was not as magical as the previous reports, so everyone stopped chasing. The idea of ​​tracing origins.

However, Liu Xing, who had a dream, also suspected that the spring in Tianshui Town might be hiding something, and this thing was also related to the destruction of Tianshui Town.

Just when Liu Xing was about to go up the mountain, someone stopped Liu Xing.

Liu Xing recognized this man as "Liu Peng's" old neighbor-Wu Da, a middle-aged man who was good at carpentry.

"Apeng, are you going up the mountain?"

Wu Da took a hatchet and said: "There is nothing on this mountain, so why is it worth it for you to go up this early in the morning? If you need my help, I will go chop wood later and accompany you first." One trip.”

"Oh, I'm just going to go up there and take a look around to see if I can find the legendary spring."

Liu Xing didn't hide anything and said directly: "It's so hot that I can't sleep even after waking up, so I might as well go up the mountain for a walk and study where this Taoist temple should be built, so I won't bother Uncle Wu to accompany me." I'm leaving for a while, but can you lend me your sickle first? I was in a hurry and forgot to bring a sickle to clear the way, so I can use my hand to scare away the snakes."

"Then you can use my hatchet. Although it's a little heavier, it's definitely no problem for cutting roads. And I'm not in a hurry to chop wood."

Wu Da enthusiastically handed the hatchet to Liu Xing, and then asked in a low voice: "By the way, Apeng, I heard that you are planning to organize a local warrior recently, so can you bring me with you? I am always Those who do carpentry have some strength, so there’s nothing wrong with being a country warrior, right?”

It turns out that I am asking for it from myself.

Liu Xing smiled, nodded and said: "Of course that's no problem, but uncle Wu, aren't you pretty good at carpentry? Why do you want to be a Xiangyong? I told you in advance. , This Xiangyong is not just a monk who beats the clock every day, but really requires you to participate in training every day, and sometimes you have to stand at the entrance of the village for a long time, so it is not as easy as your carpentry work. "

Wu Da sighed, shook his head and said: "I know this is not easy, but the problem is that not many people ask me to do carpentry work in Tianshui Town today! After all, Apeng and you have already built the wooden house, what about the furniture? We brought all the firewood from home, so there is no need to use me for a while! So I will go there to chop some firewood in the past two days, bring it back to supplement the household income, and pass some time. ...And we are aware of the current situation, so no one dares to spend money carelessly."

Hearing what Wu Da said, Liu Xing couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, because if Wu Da hadn't reminded him, he might have ignored this big problem hidden in the dark!

NPCs have nothing to do!

For players, their "life span" in this martial arts module is only more than ten months, so they won't think too long term, so if there is nothing to do, then find a few friends Chat, or go to the chess and card room that just opened to pass the time.

But NPCs don't think so, nor do they do this, so when they have nothing to do, they will inevitably have some anxiety, especially since there are really no places to employ people in Tianshui Town today, so most NPCs Being idle at home is equivalent to having no income.

So here comes the problem. In a short period of time, these NPCs can still live on the money they bring, but if they cannot make ends meet for too long, then the problem will be a bit big. After all, there are more than half of the people in Tianshui Town today. They are all NPCs.

That's why Wu Da now found an opportunity and came to him to ask for a position as a Xiangyong.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing nodded and said: "No problem, Uncle Wu, just wait for my news. If nothing unexpected happens, we will start recruiting Xiangyong in two days."

After getting Liu Xing's affirmative answer, Wu Da also breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to go home.

After Liu Xing struggled for a moment, he decided to go up the mountain for a walk first, because it was a little early to go back to find Meng Fugui and others, and they might not have gotten up yet.

Because of the fire that year, there are only some weeds in Tianshui Mountain today, so Liu Xing can walk quite easily, but he is occasionally scratched by weeds.

As for the imaginary snakes, it may be because the wine orangutans have existed for many years, so there is no food here, so Liu Xing has not encountered them, which also makes Liu Xing relieved. After all, Liu Xing doesn’t want to see them. Snake.

Soon, Liu Xing came to the mountainside and saw a clear spring flowing down the river.

Liu Xing also followed the clear spring for a few steps and saw it disappearing under a stone.

However, this stone also attracted Liu Xing's attention, because this stone seemed to have been artificially carved, and a few words could be vaguely seen on it.

So Liu Xing cleaned up the surrounding weeds, and then squatted down to study the stone. He quickly determined that the stone was indeed engraved with words, but Liu Xing could not recognize what these words meant.

The reason is simple, this is the text of the previous dynasty.

In this martial arts module, the characters of the previous dynasty are similar to Xiaozhuan, while the characters used by the New Dragon Empire are already official script, so the difference between the two is quite big, so Liu Xing cannot recognize it. It's also normal.

So the question is, why would someone carve the words of the previous dynasty on this stone? So could this be a stone carving left behind by the previous dynasty?

Liu Xing roughly measured it and found that the size of this stone was similar to the large round table at home, and that large round table could seat more than ten people. Besides, I don’t know if this stone had been damaged by man-made damage. In short, it was An irregular shape.

Therefore, in Liu Xing's opinion, someone should have encountered this stone on the mountain, so he carved some words on a whim, instead of carving the words first and then pushing it to the mountain.

This shouldn't be important, right?

After Liu Xing thought for a while, he decided to tell Yu Lei about it after he went down the mountain later and let him study what was carved on the stone, because Yu Lei had boasted to Liu Xing before. But I know a little bit about astronomy, geography, and ancient writing.

So later, should I go to the canteen to find Meng Fugui first, or should I go to the orchard to find Yu Lei first. . . Wait, Yu Lei isn't in the orchard right now, is he? Because he was going to Liangcheng with him to visit the third prince!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing's eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly remembered that he should be at the inn in Boyang City at this time. Why did he return to Tianshui Town as soon as he woke up? !

Liu Xing suddenly looked up and realized that the black line in the sky had disappeared, but the sun was still hanging directly in front of him, and did not change its position because of his change of orientation.

A dream within a dream? !

Liu Xing was shocked. He did not expect to encounter such a situation, and when he realized that this was a dream within a dream, he showed no signs of waking up!

Liu Xing took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to think about his current situation.

First of all, this is the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, so whether it is a dream or a dream within a dream, it will follow a basic setting of "excusable circumstances", so the dream within a dream that I am having now is definitely not without purpose.

Therefore, the reason why I met Wu Da just now may be because I have discovered the problem subconsciously. After all, this problem is also obvious, but because I was busy some time ago, I didn't think of it for a while, so "Wu Da" Da" would appear in front of him, and at the same time he also sent the hatchet he needed.

But in the final analysis, the existence of this dream-within-a-dream was to let me determine the relationship between Sweetwater Town and the Sweetwater Tribe, so after I woke up here, I subconsciously wanted to go up the mountain.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing looked at the stone in front of him. This time Liu Xing did not intend to find out what the words engraved on it meant. He just wanted to determine how many words there were and how the sentences were broken up.

Soon, Liu Xing determined that this stone had a total of sixty-two characters!

This happens to be a seven-character poem, plus a four-word title and a two-word author's name!

Seeing this, Liu Xing knew that the poem engraved on this stone was Lu You's!

This also proves that the Sweetwater Tribe in the dream is the Sweetwater Town in the current martial arts module.

That is to say, the martial arts module is taken from the world of poetry and poetry, or the martial arts module is the real world of poetry and poetry!

Liu Xing took a breath, because if this guess was correct, it would be an incredible discovery!

It's like you are playing a game. You were still playing normally, but you suddenly discovered the underlying code of the game and understood the basic logic of some operations. Then you can use this to do a lot of things and make your game better. The experience is directly upgraded to a new level!

Of course, the premise is that the underlying code can take effect!

Just like today's Tianshui Town, although it is confirmed that it is a town in Lu You's poem, the current Tianshui Town obviously does not meet the description of that poem, so Liu Xing guessed that certain conditions need to be met. The poem will be directly realized!

Especially the sentence "There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, but there is another village with bright flowers and dark willows"!

If this poem can really be realized, then Sweetwater Town is likely to become a huge enchantment circle, allowing the enemy to start getting lost after entering it!

But if you want to achieve this, you should have to achieve the previous line of the poem - Mo Xiao's farmer's wax wine is muddy, and in good years the chickens and dolphins are enough for visitors.

This means that during the autumn harvest season, if Tianshui Town can achieve a bumper harvest and entertain passing tourists with food and drinks, then the next line of the poem can be quoted, giving Tianshui Town its own enchantment array!

As for the following "The flutes and drums follow the Spring Society, and the simple clothes and ancient customs remain", that is to let the NPCs in Tianshui Town and the players hold a Spring Society together, which is a ceremony used to pray for a good harvest before spring plowing, and in the process Everyone has to wear quaint clothing, and that's when the mission is completed, which leads to the last line of the poem.

From now on, if I am allowed to take advantage of the moonlight, I will knock on the door all the time and night with my stick.

If nothing else happens, Lu You himself will have to knock on Liu Xing’s door in the middle of the night!

At this moment, Liu Xing felt like the world was spinning, and then he saw Yu Lei looking at him worriedly.

"Apeng, are you having a nightmare?"

Yu Lei said nervously: "I saw you hadn't gotten up yet, so I came over to call you, but I saw you closing your eyes tightly and constantly changing your expression. That shocked me!"

Liu Xing squeezed out a forced smile, nodded and said, "I did have a strange dream, but it doesn't seem to be a big problem, so let's go have dinner now. We have to be on our way after dinner."

Seeing that Liu Xing had said this, Yu Lei stopped worrying, so the two of them continued on their way after breakfast.

On the way, Liu Xing still couldn't forget the dream within a dream he had before, so when he stopped to rest, Liu Xing couldn't help but asked: "Brother Yu, didn't I have a strange dream today? ?I dreamed that I returned to Tianshui Town, and also came to the mountain behind Tianshui Town, and then I found an inscribed stone on the mountain, but it was the writing of the previous dynasty, so I couldn’t recognize its specific meaning. content."

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he noticed that Yu Lei's expression became serious.
