"Don't worry about how high you are. It's very, very high anyway. It's unimaginably high. It's better than - okay." Sun Shouwu looked at Liu Wei'an's doubtful eyes, paused, and said seriously: "You know the gods, right? In ancient Chinese mythology, mountains can be moved and seas can be filled with the wave of a hand, and the sun and moon are dimmed. After practicing the ancient scriptures, this is probably the effect. You can pick up stars with your hands, and your body can span the universe——"
"I know it's very powerful." Liu Wei'an interrupted him, "But what does this have to do with you."
"It doesn't matter, the relationship is booming." Sun Shouwu waved his arm vigorously and said: "You think, the six major families and us, after hundreds of years of development, have formed a relatively stable situation. Everyone knows how capable they are, but what if someone suddenly gets the ancient scripture?"
"The balance has been broken?" Liu Wei'an seemed to understand something.
"That's right, once the balance is broken, there will be a new round of reshuffle. At that time, the situation will be turbulent and there will be another bloody storm. The people will suffer." Sun Shouwu showed a compassionate expression.
"Pretend, keep pretending!" Liu Wei'an felt contempt in his heart. Even if he beat him to death, he wouldn't believe that Sun Shouwu was so kind. Looking at Sun Shouwu's pretentious look, I almost wanted to vomit.
"So, I must prevent those ambitious people from getting the ancient scriptures." Sun Shouwu looked at Liu Wei'an's suspicious eyes, his old face turned red, and he coughed, "Of course, I can't rule out some selfish motives. I also want to see it. , what does the legendary ancient scripture look like."
"Then what?"
"Everyone relied on their abilities. You chased each other. Those who got it fled in front, and those who couldn't get it chased behind them. They fought all the way. I don't know how many people died. They ran from the northeast to the west, from the south to the north, several times. Changed hands——"
"And then you came to Stone City?" Liu Wei'an didn't know yet, but it turned out that Sun Shouwu was a chatterbox.
"How do you know?" Sun Shouwu stared at him.
"A large number of you people are crowding in here, and even the blind people can see it." Liu Wei'an rolled his eyes.
"Uh - is it so obvious?" Sun Shouwu smiled awkwardly, "Well, after going around in circles for a few months, everyone lost their patience, so they didn't deliberately hide the traces. Of course, the main reason is that they couldn't hide it. , and finally chased it to Stone City, but after that, the thing disappeared."
"Disappeared? What do you mean?" Liu Wei'an looked at him in confusion.
"Who knows." Sun Shouwu was quite depressed.
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"It's just that the thing is lost. I don't know where it went. It may have been thrown on the ground, it may have been picked up by a tiger, or it may have been destroyed. Anyway, it is missing. However, everyone unanimously guessed that it was taken away quietly. The old Zhao family thought it was in the hands of the old Liu family, and the old Liu family thought it was in the hands of the old Wang family. They were suspicious of each other and were on guard against each other. But there is also a guess that it might have been accidentally picked up by people in Stone City. After all, the ancient scriptures disappeared. The place is the closest to Stone City. As the saying goes, there are too many people and it’s possible that someone just happened to be passing by. It’s like taking advantage of others and fishing in troubled waters.” Sun Shouwu rambled.
"So -" Liu Wei'an's face remained unchanged, but his heart suddenly jumped. He seemed to understand what was going on.
"Well, that's right, so!" Sun Shouwu nodded.
In order to find the lost ancient scriptures, several big families went on a killing spree. Because there were no clues, the nearest Stone City became the first target of disaster. As a result, corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed. At first, it was probably just... After simply looking for ancient scriptures and becoming jealous, it is inevitable that other thoughts will arise. They will take the opportunity to cause damage. You smash my shop, and I will rob your caravan. Public outrage and private hatred are probably the reason why the storm is getting worse and worse. The main reason for tidying up.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the six major families are, they would not dare to be so unscrupulous.
"Let me ask you a question!" Liu Wei'an looked at Sun Shouwu, "What does the ancient scripture look like?"
"I don't know!" Sun Shouwu was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a long time before saying: "It should be like a book."
"You've been chasing me for several months and you haven't even seen what the book looks like?" Liu Wei'an looked incredulous.
"You know, our Sun family is said to be a big family, but in fact, it is a little worse than the six major families." Sun Shouwu's face turned red, "That's why I said trouble."
"One more question, what is the name of the ancient scripture? It can't be called the ancient scripture, right?"
Sun Shouwu's old face turned even redder, and he coughed: "This...since it was found in the Dark Mountain, it should be related to darkness. Well, I have something else to do. The chat is over, I'll leave first." Seeing Liu Wei'an As if there were still questions, Sun Shouwu ran away.
Looking at Sun Shouwu's back, Liu Wei'an was almost certain that the piece of amber he grabbed was the so-called ancient scripture, and he was the final beneficiary. However, is the ancient scripture so magical? He didn't think so, but he suffered a lot. Shaking his head, he suddenly woke up when he walked out of the 'Heal the Man' pharmacy. He planned to talk to Sun Lingzhi for a while. I was too embarrassed to go in again, so I had to leave sadly.
Shops on the street have opened one after another. The aftereffects of the massacre have almost subsided. There are more pedestrians on the road. However, there are not many old faces. They are all strangers, either wandering from other places or coming from other places. New players who are new to "World of Warcraft".
Materials store.
The store decoration is simple and simple, with a lot of goods. The shelves are almost full. There are all kinds of things, including animal skins, hairs, horns, bones, nails, unknown bark, roots, leaves, seeds, and red stones. White soil, pet eggs, iron nails, ropes, paper, pepper, soybeans, jade, shells... Some of the materials were unheard of and unseen. Liu Wei'an looked at them from shelf to shelf, but he didn't recognize most of them.
"Hello, what do you need?" The store clerk appeared with a smile on his face. Before the massacre, there was a huge flow of people, and Liu Wei'an could not enjoy one-on-one service. However, in the past few days, there were two or three customers who came to the store, and the store clerk's attitude was particularly enthusiastic.
"Do you have cinnabar and a writing brush?"
"Yes." The store clerk immediately replied, with a skilled hand, he stretched out his finger and said, "This way, please!"
After taking a few steps inside, Liu Wei'an saw a large bucket of red powder, cinnabar, in the corner.
Cinnabar, also called cinnabar, cinnabar, red cinnabar, and mercury sand, is made from ground natural ores. It is bright red and has a metallic luster. Mixed with realgar, apatite and asphaltene. Cinnabar has the effects of sedation, hypnosis, detoxification, antisepsis, sterilization and insecticide. However, its most important function is to draw symbols.
The finest cinnabar can last for thousands of years without fading, is as red as blood, and has a bright luster. However, Liu Wei'an couldn't tell what was high-grade and what was inferior. Moreover, there was only one kind of cinnabar here, so he couldn't choose between them. Weighed a pound, it was horrifyingly expensive, 100 copper coins a tael.
"We have a full range of brushes here, including wolf brushes, rabbit brushes, mouse brushes, and fetal brushes——"
"Bring me 10 bristle pens." Liu Wei'an interrupted the store clerk's introduction. If you are a master of calligraphy, it would be cool to buy a wolf hair or rabbit hair. For a newbie, a bristle pen is enough.
It's not that bristle pens are cheap, but bristle pens are hard and not as soft as other brushes. Liu Wei'an has never even touched a brush a few times. If you take a soft brush, who knows what your writing will look like.
Drawing talisman is a very sacred thing. You must clean your hands, clean your body, meditate, bathe, dress up, place incense in the hall, worship the heavenly master, etc. It can only be done after a series of complex and solemn procedures. Liu Wei'an has just started. , no one taught him, and he only mastered one kind of spell, and it was the simplest corpse-dismantling spell, so he kept everything simple.
After finding an inn and opening a room, Liu Wei'an took out fifty arrows, mixed cinnabar with rooster blood, and began to concentrate on drawing the talisman.
It's different to have professional tools. It's much smoother to draw, and it's not using your own blood, and the smell is much more comfortable.
In less than three minutes, the talisman was completed. With a flash of yellow light, the talisman disappeared into the arrow body, leaving only a trace that was undetectable. Liu Wei'an was overjoyed that it was a success.
Opening the door is a good sign.
The second and third shots were all successful, all in one go, three consecutive hits. This was the result of a few hours in the morning. Liu Wei'an was overjoyed, but the fourth shot failed.
Liu Wei'an wasn't sure whether it was because he didn't have enough skill or what happened. After one failure, the arrow couldn't draw the talisman a second time.
The fifth branch failed, the sixth branch succeeded...
An hour later, Liu Wei'an successfully drew the corpse-killing talisman on thirteen arrows, but failed seven times. After that, no matter how hard he concentrated, he could not draw the talisman. Just like the situation in the morning, it reached a certain limit.
I could only draw ten times in the morning, but now I can draw twenty times. I don’t know whether it’s because my proficiency has increased or because I have the tools handy. After putting the things away, I found that there was too much cinnabar, so I poured out half a tael, but a third of it was not used, which made me feel distressed.
When I left the room, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, so I ordered two side dishes at the inn and had a wonderful meal. Recently, I have become richer, so I don't have to eat steamed buns all the time. I can go to a restaurant occasionally. of.
In the afternoon, I went to the grove. It is worth mentioning that the two master uncles of Hei Niu. Because of the remote location, no one usually comes to this place. They actually escaped the massacre and have been making arrows these days. Arrow, when Liu Wei'an went there, he saw a mountain of arrows. He thought that the space ring was only one cubic meter. He was quite proud before, but now he found that it was too small. The nails of the rotten corpses, the nails of the walking corpses and the The zombies poured out all their fingernails and left with half a cube of arrows.
Before leaving, I told my two master uncles that the prepared arrows should be hidden for safety, just in case. If a player accidentally breaks in, wouldn't they be taken away? As for the arrows, he still needs to continue making them. Although these arrows are not good at killing zombies, he will not stay in the cemetery all his life. After killing the monsters in the cemetery, they will still come out. They will be used to kill other monsters in the future.
It took more than three hours to kill more than 200 walking corpses, more than 100 rotting corpses, and 13 zombies. At the end, three more zombies appeared, frightening Liu Wei'an to flee. After waiting for an hour until the zombies left and picked up the body, it was already dark. Lao Litou and the others had long been impatient. Liu Wei'an added another 30 copper coins before they shut up.
