Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Brother Liu, what do you think will be in that box? Is it possible that it is an antique?"

Han Yu suddenly said seriously: "Maybe it really is an ancient relic, because I remember that Uncle Zhai was also a martial arts master who traveled around the world when he was young. He traveled all over the world with a flag that said Iron Mouth Straight Cut. The purpose of the New Dragon Empire is to collect all kinds of anecdotes and rare and mysterious antiquities."

"Huh? Uncle Zhai is so versatile, but he is also a martial arts master?" Liu Xing said a little surprised.

"Yes, Uncle Zhai was originally a third-rate expert. He met another fortune teller when he was in his twenties. As a result, the other person saw his talent in this area, so Uncle Zhai became a fortune teller. New skills! Moreover, Uncle Zhai’s master also calculated that he must travel around the world and experience some things to escape the fate of being hit. Otherwise, if he stays at home, he will not only end up with no bones left. .”

Having said this, Han Yu let out a long sigh, "This is indeed the case, because if Uncle Zhai had not traveled around the world at that time, he would have appeared in the ancestral hall in his hometown to offer incense! The ancestral hall in the village was renovated that year, and everyone The rich contributed money and the powerful contributed effort, so after the renovation of the ancestral hall was completed, the whole village gathered together for a banquet; but in the end, a huge stone rolled down the hillside behind the ancestral hall, and everyone present at the time was directly Half of them were gone, and the remaining people were not much better, and within a month, half of them were gone."

"Brother Liu, you also know that if the fortune-telling profession is to be accurate, it will definitely reveal the secrets. Therefore, all fortune-tellers are plagued by three shortcomings. Therefore, those fortune-tellers often pretend to be blind. , after all, if you pretend to be deaf or mute, it will be difficult for you to do business, and if you have a broken hand or leg, you can see it at a glance, so it is perfect to pretend to be blind with your eyes closed! Of course, this fortune teller is If I can calculate something without looking at you, it will look more convincing."

"So it's a bit funny that because Uncle Zhai, a real fortune teller, is relatively young, he has to imitate those fortune tellers and pretend to be blind, so that he can appear more convincing and persuade others to come to him for fortune telling. Maybe this It’s what my father often said: bad coins drive out good coins! Because everyone wants to spend those coins that are relatively damaged, and those coins that are relatively good must be collected, whether for weddings or funerals in the future. Bring it as a gift...Ahem, I'm a bit off topic, anyway, after that day passed, Uncle Zhai became a loner."

"As for my family, the situation is not bad, because my father happened to obtain the imperial examination during that time, and then started to work as an official in other places, so my family moved out a month ago. Of course, my father also donated some money before leaving. Money... Well, my father has always been guilty of this over the years, because he felt that he had donated some money, but did not donate more money, which led to the renovation of the ancestral hall being completed on the day when the boulder was loosened. Otherwise, this huge stone won’t hurt anyone, because not many people go to the ancestral hall in normal times.”

"In my memory, the ancestral hall in my hometown is quite remote. It is located at the foot of a high mountain. It seems that there was a mudslide a hundred years ago, so the people who originally lived near the ancestral hall chose to move, and the ancestral hall also As a result, it became dilapidated, and there were few people to carry out daily maintenance, so it had to be renovated that year; of course, the main reason for this renovation was that there were two rising stars in the village, one civil and one military. My father and Uncle Zhai had to renovate the ancestral hall to thank our ancestors for their blessings."

After hearing this, Liu Xing felt that Han Yu was just like him. He liked to go off topic when talking about long speeches, going here and there.

"It is conceivable that when Uncle Zhai returned to his hometown, he was so desperate after hearing what happened at that time. At the same time, he also understood what it means to have three lives and five shortcomings, so Uncle Zhai rejected his original marriage. , because he had a marriage before he traveled around the world. After all, he is not only a one-in-a-million fortune teller, but also a third-rate master, so there are many people who want to marry Uncle Zhai, and now Zhai In order to avoid hurting others, my uncle chose to break off the engagement."

Han Yu shook his head and continued: "After finishing the housework, Uncle Zhai came to find my father, because they have been good friends since childhood, and Uncle Zhai often wrote to my father when he was traveling around the world. , telling anecdotes about the journey, and asking my father to bring peace to his family; after all, they were the only two people in the entire township who could read and write at that time, and others might only know their names and some common words, and I It’s free for my father to send family letters home, so Uncle Zhai can also save some money, but the most important thing is that someone will read the family letters for him.”

"As for why Uncle Zhai came to my father at that time, although my father did not tell me directly, based on what happened in those years, I have reason to suspect that Uncle Zhai also gave my father a fortune-telling and helped my father escape from the unknown. What a disaster! Because as you know, Brother Liu, my father has a rather stubborn personality, so he has a relatively normal relationship with his colleagues. He often offends people unknowingly. Therefore, it stands to reason that my father is unlikely to be As the prefect, it would only be reasonable if you were idle at home now."

"After that meeting, the next time I saw Uncle Zhai was in Philadelphia. But at that time, Uncle Zhai was actually a little crazy. He only spent one or two hours awake a day, so Uncle Zhai would He was locked in the yard and only came out to eat when he was awake. As for why Uncle Zhai became crazy, according to him, in recent years, some strange pictures and some strange things often appeared in his mind. Unintelligible sounds, and he had never experienced these images and sounds.”

If Liu Xing heard Han Yu say this a day ago, he might have thought that Uncle Zhai might have schizophrenia or multiple personalities, but now Liu Xing feels that he has reason to suspect that Uncle Zhai is a certain player's character card. And he was on the verge of awakening, so his memories in other modules appeared.

It seems that Uncle Zhai is indeed not simple.

"As for why Uncle Zhai collected those antiquities, Uncle Zhai told me that he saw an ancient object when he was passing by a certain place. It was an iron arrow that was not embedded in the stone. There were some strange writings on the arrow shaft. When Uncle Zhai saw the arrow, a picture emerged in his mind, that is, a general drew his bow like a full moon, and then the arrow sank directly into the stone like a hot knife cutting butter. inside."

Han Yu said seriously: "At that time, Uncle Zhai thought it was because he could tell fortunes that he could figure out the origin of the antiquities. So he suddenly felt a sense of mission and wanted to find those antiquities that had not yet been discovered and put them together. They were all collected together; and this was indeed the case. Uncle Zhai said that he also found a few antiquities, but these antiquities were not easy to take away. However, when he found these antiquities, there was a high probability that he would also remember them in his mind. Some new pictures emerge.”

Hearing this, Liu Xing once again confirmed that Uncle Zhai must be related to the player, because now Liu Xing has confirmed that those antiquities are related to poetry, and the arrow in the stone that Uncle Zhai saw for the first time was obviously that description of the poem A poem about Li Guang's superb archery skills and amazing arm strength.

The forest is dark and the wind is frightening at night, and the general draws his bow at night.

I looked for the white feather in plain sight, but it was missing among the stone edges.

Obviously, if Uncle Zhai can activate the power of this arrow in the stone, then this arrow in the stone may be able to kill gods and Buddhas in this martial arts module!

Anyone who hits them will receive armor-piercing damage directly, so who in this martial arts module can block this arrow?

As for Uncle Zhai not having images come to his mind when he saw certain antiquities, that is actually quite understandable. It is nothing more than Uncle Zhai, or in other words, the literary papermaking that originally used the character card "Uncle Zhai" was relatively low. Therefore, I have no impression of certain poems. After all, even if you select the best among Tang poems, you can produce at least 300 good poems.

You must know that Li Bai and Du Fu, the most famous poets of the Tang Dynasty, have about 1,000 and 1,400 poems recorded respectively. So if you add in those poems that have been lost, the total of them is 3,000. There must be no problem with the first one! At present, there are about 130,000 poems that can be documented. After all, in the history of thousands of years, those poets who are not famous cannot leave too many poems.

However, Liu Xing estimates that in this martial arts module, the poems corresponding to the antiquities should not be too popular. After all, if these poems are too unpopular, it is equivalent to shelving these antiquities. Then aren't these antiquities equal to Is it useless?

So the question is, did Uncle Zhai bring back any antiquities?

Before this, Liu Xing had not thought that Uncle Zhai would collect antiquities, so in the previous search, Liu Xing had not paid attention to any antiquities, and the antiquities were indistinguishable in this martial arts module, unless you can see Look at the poems engraved on it, otherwise you wouldn’t realize that what you’re looking at is actually an ancient relic.

So I have to search again?

Liu Xing looked at Han Yu, and when he was about to say something, Han Yu continued to tell the story.

"Brother Liu, you may not know that Uncle Zhai can no longer be described as crazy in the past few months. He would often go to the prefect's house to find my father, and then he would cry and laugh there, talking about my father. Neither he nor I can understand the words, and sometimes he will hold some things and dance around, pretending that he is also a general."

Han Yu spread his palm, showed a scar on it and said, "This wound is from when Uncle Zhai threw the candlestick. I subconsciously blocked it and it became like this. The reason why my father was sick before was also Because I was knocked into the pond by Uncle Zhai; but what I remember most is that one day Uncle Zhai came up and grabbed me, and then said something to me very excitedly, although I still couldn’t understand him What are you talking about, but I can feel that he seems to think highly of me?"

I like you too.

Liu Xing can be sure that Uncle Zhai at that time already knew the value of the name "Han Yu", and also confirmed through various means that this Han Yu was the Han Yu he knew, so he would be a little embarrassed when facing Han Yu. It's a pity that at this time, he could only express himself in words that Han Yu couldn't understand.

It's a bit pitiful.

Liu Xing shook his head and said, "So should we search again? I didn't pay attention to the existence of the antiquities when I was searching just now, and now the value of the antiquities is also rising, because after the seizure of the throne in Kowloon really begins, an antiquities Maybe we can save a city! For example, the arrow in the stone that Uncle Zhai saw before, I don’t think anyone can guard against it!"

"Yeah, I just forgot about the existence of antiquities, because Uncle Zhai just mentioned it, and I have never seen the antiquities mentioned by Uncle Zhai, but my father said that Uncle Zhai is not the kind of person who likes to talk big. People, and when he sets a goal, he will try every means to accomplish it, so I think Uncle Zhai will find an ancient artifact as long as his luck is not bad, right?" Han Yu nodded and said.

And this time, Liu Xing finally understood why he triggered a seemingly unusual task after coming to this yard. It turned out that it was because this task involved "neglected" antiquities, so it seemed so special. different.

Ever since, Liu Xing and the two started rummaging again, and Liu Xing was very meticulous in this rummaging process. He picked up everything and looked at it carefully, especially those with text. thing.

Not long after, Liu Xing really found an ancient artifact! And it’s a very famous antique!

"Ah, can this be considered an antique?"

Han Yu looked at the broken piece of wood in Liu Xing's hand and said with some disbelief: "I don't know much, Brother Liu, don't lie to me. No matter how you look at it, this is just a piece of broken wood placed in the corner, ready to be used for fire." ah!"

That's right, when Liu Xing saw this piece of broken wood leaning against the corner, his first thought was that this thing was used to make fires. However, Liu Xing soon realized a problem, that is, there was a problem in Uncle Zhai's yard. There wasn't even a kitchen, and there was no firewood used for living, so there was something wrong with this piece of wood!

When Liu Xing actually picked up the piece of wood, he found that the color of the piece of wood was a little off, as if the paint had peeled off, and the shape was quite similar to the guqin in Liu Xing's impression, except that there were no strings.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing knew that he had found the right antiquities, because there were many poems related to the guqin.

I will go home from the hospital tomorrow and take a day off.

I was supposed to be discharged from the hospital two days ago, but I fell and injured the ligament in my leg, so I was under observation for another two days, and now I can't even squat. . .

I’ll take some rest after I get home, and if nothing happens, I’ll update the book!
