Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1581 The Lost and Found Crystal

  After getting ready, Liu Xing and the three slowly touched the door of the Taoist temple. Of course, before that, Liu Xing did not forget to tell the others who were still in the car, so that they would be ready to support at any time.

  Just like this, Liu Xing and the others came to the main entrance of the Taoist temple without any risk, but what surprised Liu Xing and the others was that the door of this Taoist temple was locked from the inside.

"It's kind of interesting. If the lock was outside, it would be better to say, but it was locked from the inside, so if this Taoist temple has no other entrances and exits, it means that there may be people living in the Taoist temple. And he also raised a chicken." Liu Xing whispered.

"It's also possible that someone hid in the Taoist temple because of something, and then never got out." Ding Kun shook his head and said, "And the walls of this Taoist temple are not too high, as long as you are good at it, you can directly climb over it. When it comes out, even ordinary people can find something to put their feet in, and then they can turn it out in a less-than-dignified way, in short, it means nothing if it is locked inside."

As Ding Kun said, he observed the situation inside the Taoist temple through the crack of the door, "It is also overgrown with weeds, and I can't see anything for the time being, but I can now confirm that the door lock of this Taoist temple is the push-pull type. If we're lucky, there should be no other locks on this one."

   After finishing speaking, Ding Kun picked out a suitable branch on the ground, the one with forks, so that he could pick out the door lock.

As a professional, Ding Kun quickly opened the door lock, "It seems that our luck is not bad, we don't need to climb over the wall to get in, but it stands to reason that such a push-pull door lock should be matched with an ordinary door lock. To use it, so I also began to suspect that there may be people in this Taoist temple, or something else, so we need to cheer up now and pay attention to all the movements around us.”

   However, when Yin En pushed open the door, there was no accidental sound of "clicking", obviously the bearing of the door lacked the necessary maintenance.

   At this time, Liu Xing saw a few pheasants fluttering out of the grass.

"It's all pheasants." Yin En breathed a sigh of relief, "The difference between domestic chickens and pheasants is still quite big. I used to be able to catch a few pheasants when I went back to my hometown, because the hill where my hometown is basically has No one lives there, and the vegetables and rice that were planted before have not been cleaned up, so they have degenerated into wild varieties, but they are enough for those small animals to eat and drink."

Speaking of pheasants, Liu Xing remembered that his hometown often had a large white bird flying by. At that time, Liu Xing also tried to use a slingshot to give himself a meal, but later Liu Xing knew that the bird was called the egret , If you knock it down, you can indeed add meals, and you can eat and drink for free for a few years. . .

Back to the topic.

   After avoiding the pheasants running around, the three of Liu Xing tried to throw a few stones into the grass, and when they saw that nothing strange appeared, they boldly approached the grass.

  Because there is a large incense burner in the grass, and there seems to be something glittering hidden in it, it is difficult for people not to notice.

  Professional things should be done by professional people.

  Before entering the Taoist temple, Ding Kun reminded Liu Xing and the two to obey his arrangement. After all, Ding Kun still has some experience in facing this situation, because he has received similar training courses and his grades are still excellent.

  So Ding Kun asked Liu Xing and the two to stop and be alert, while he picked up the pistol and aimed it at the inside of the incense burner, and then slowly approached the incense burner.

   Not long after, Ding Kun said with a sigh of relief: "It's alright, this is just a crystal."

  Ding Kun showed the crystal in his hand to Liu Xing and the two after he finished speaking. It looked similar to the crystal icons in many games, it was a transparent prism with pointed ends.

etc!

   Liu Xing suddenly noticed a detail, and directly reached out and grabbed the crystal, because one end of the crystal seemed to be broken, so there was a small wound. Most importantly, the more Liu Xing looked at this wound, the more familiar he felt.

   That's right, Liu Xing felt that the reason why this crystal became like this was caused by himself!

   In other words, this crystal once belonged to Liu Xing.

"Liu Xing, do you think there's something wrong with this crystal? But I think it's just an ordinary crystal. Even if it's intact in a scenic spot, it will sell for dozens of dollars at most." Yin En asked.

Liu Xing shook his head and replied seriously: "If I remember correctly, this crystal should be mine, or it once belonged to me, but after a move, I never saw this crystal again. already."

When Liu Xing was young, grandpa had a friend who ran a ranch in the frontier area, so he would send some things to Liu Xing's grandfather every year, such as deer antler, dried fruit and so on, and he sent a few pieces at one time. Crystals, it is said that these crystals were dug out by him himself.

Because of curiosity and liking, Liu Xing brought a crystal home, and he would play with this crystal when he had nothing to do with it. As a result, once he was not careful, the unsteady crystal fell to the ground and smashed the floor into a hole. Let Liu Xing bring interest, want to hold this crystal and other things harder than anyone else.

   At this time, Liu Xing did not know that the hardness of the crystal reached 7, which is one of the hardest in common objects, but this crystal is also very brittle, so this crystal fell off without being tossed by Liu Xing a few times.

   As a result, this crystal, which was pretty good-looking, suddenly had a big flaw, and this also made Liu Xing lose interest, so he just put it on the desk as a decoration.

   Then one afternoon, after Liu Xing returned to the clinic after school, he heard from Liu's mother that her family had changed a place and had already moved.

Since then, Liu Xing has never seen this crystal again, but Liu Xing has always felt that this crystal may have been brought to the new home by his parents in a glove box when they moved, and then this glove box I put it away in the closet, and never opened it again.

  As a result, Liu Xing did not expect that he would see this crystal at this time and this place!

After listening to Liu Xing's story, Tian Qing on the other end of the earphone said: "It turned out to be this crystal, I remember Liu Xing, you mentioned this crystal before, saying that if this crystal is still by your side, you I'm going to use this crystal to smash Teacher Zhang's window."

   "Ah, I thought Liu Xing would make something out of this crystal for you." Li Mengyao said in surprise.

Liu Xing smiled a little embarrassedly, shook his head and said: "Isn't that old Zhang who often targets me and thinks that I have brought you down? And his house turned out to be the kind of thickened glass, So ordinary stones can't be broken at all."

The old Zhang here is Liu Xing and Tian Qing's class teacher in high school. Then he went to the boys' dormitory after a night of self-study one day. As a result, he saw Liu Xing and Tian Qing walking together on the upper floor of the dormitory, so he knew Liu Xing. Even with Tian Qing.

  Tian Qing was Lao Zhang's class representative at that time, so Lao Zhang disliked Liu Xing, a digging guy, so if someone was asked to answer a question in the class, there was a 30% chance that Liu Xing would be directly selected. . .

As for why the windows of Lao Zhang’s house are made of thick glass, it is said that Lao Zhang felt that it was too cold in winter, so he installed thick glass to keep warm. After all, there is no heating in Rongcheng, but it is really cold in winter, especially It's when blowing.

But talking about Lao Zhang, Liu Xing remembered one more thing, that is, Lao Zhang decided to resign from school two years ago, and then he found a few friends to jointly open an after-school tutoring class, and it was only more than a year. Time hit the new regulations, and I don't know how he is doing now. . .

"If this crystal is really the one that Liu Xing you broke, it means that this Taoist temple is indeed the place where the module prepared by Turner took place, and this crystal is also the one that Turner has guessed that we will be in advance in advance. In the real world, I deliberately put it here to remind us. After all, I don’t think other people will put a crystal in this incense burner when they are idle. Moreover, it is hundreds of kilometers away from Rongcheng. Liu Xing, you Even if the crystal was lost during the move, it would be impossible to travel to Heshan County so far away, not to mention that the crystal is really worthless, and you haven't done any engraving and appreciation."

Yin En looked around and continued: "This Taoist temple is not too big, it's just a main hall and a few bungalows, the kitchen should be behind the main hall, if we want to do a search, it won't cost much. time, and none of these rooms seem to be locked."

   "Then let's act together. If we are in a movie, if we act alone, there will definitely be a big problem." Ding Kun said with a smile.

So, after Liu Xing put away the crystal, the three of them opened the door of the main hall of the Taoist temple together, but this is the main hall, which is a room with only more than 20 square meters. Of course, the ceiling of this room will be relatively high.

   As for the statues in the main hall, it is relatively simple, that is, Lord Tudi and Lord Dragon, plus a Guanyin Bodhisattva.

   It seems that this is a Taoist temple, but it is actually a place where locals can pray to God and worship Buddha, so the statues are so grounded.

   "These statues all look normal, nothing special, but I found that none of the wooden structures in the Taoist temple have been damaged. It seems that the mice did not come here to grind their teeth."

Yin En squatted in front of a futon and said: "And there is not much dust on these futons, but the doors and windows here are close to each other, so this dust can be justified, but it cannot be ruled out that there are other people here. possibility of coming."

Liu Xing looked at the dust on the ground and the footprints of his own group and said: "There are only our footprints here, so it means that we are the only ones who have been here in a short period of time, but we are in the real world. , so in the game hall of the Cthulhu running group, it may be a different scene."

   "So things in the real world are for reference only, we just need to be familiar with the terrain. As for the specific situation, it is still discussed in the module."

As soon as Ding Kun finished speaking, Zhang Jingxu's voice rang out, "Well, we have already arrived in Xinheshan County, and when we were just looking for a place to eat, we asked the boss by the way, and we have confirmed that what Huang Qiu and the others said is true; but The boss also mentioned another thing, that is, the Taoist temple you are currently in is actually very famous, because the previous temple masters were very accurate in fortune-telling, and the bruises they sold were also very good, but the temple master said one day that he was going out. Yunyou, and then never came back, if you count the time, it will take more than ten years, so this Taoist temple will be abandoned."

"More importantly, the statues originally placed in this Taoist temple are very small, belonging to the kind that ordinary people have never heard of, and these statues are all made by the owner of the temple, so these statues are in the Taoist temple. After it was abandoned, it was scrapped together. Later, these Dragon Kings, Landlords, etc. were moved by other people, and they were going to reuse this Taoist temple. After all, this Taoist temple is not far from the city; but this Taoist temple reopened. God, the new occupants encountered a strange thing - footsteps were heard in the courtyard, but these footsteps sounded like they were walking in the same place, and the most important thing was that no one was seen in the courtyard."

"Then those people living in the Taoist temple began to have stiff necks, facial paralysis, etc., and even tinnitus in severe cases, but it was said to be tinnitus, but in fact, they heard someone muttering something in their ears, But I couldn't understand what they were talking about... So these people quickly chose to run away, and after they left the Taoist temple, they felt relieved, but the person with tinnitus was just fine. Unfortunately, it took more than a month for it to return to normal, so no one wanted to re-enable this Taoist temple after that. As for why this happened, the boss said that many people thought it was because the temple master used it before he left. Luban technique."

  Luban technique?

Liu Xing raised his brows and said, "It is said that the "Luban Book" left by Lu Ban is divided into two volumes, the first volume is to teach people how to work, and the second volume is to teach people how to protect themselves, or to use magic Retaliate against bad employers. For example, after repairing a house, if the employer is not willing to give the money that was promised at the beginning, the craftsman can find a place to bury a piece of pork, so that the employer will smell the smell as long as he stays in the house It smells bad, but I can't find the source of the smell."
