Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2049 Bitter Bud

   It turns out that the reason why Shen Bai became like this is also related to the people in Baigudong.

In short, when Shen Bai passed by Ningcheng, he heard that there were many suspicious-looking men in black near Ningcheng, but they did not do anything strange, so Wutai did not directly attack them. To start, just send a few people to watch them. After all, Wutai is very particular about two words-evidence.

   If it is determined that there is something wrong with these men in black, Wutai will definitely attack them without hesitation, but if no problem is found, Wutai can only monitor these people secretly. . . No way, this is the rule established by the new Dragon Emperor when Wutai was established, because the members of Wutai are from various sects, and their strength is far beyond ordinary people, so if there are no certain restrictions on Wutai, then Wutai There may be "expansion" in various senses, after all, the force value of Wutai is still too high.

In other words, there is only such a big piece of cake. If you eat too much in Wutai, then the rest of the "people" will not be able to eat enough, not to mention that you are still eating the portion that others should have. .

Therefore, before there is no definite evidence, Wutai can't make a move, unless it can be entrusted by the prefect or the city lord, but the prefect of Ningcheng has been busy with other things recently, so he didn't pay much attention to these suspicious behaviors. The men in black, besides, these men in black also dressed a bit strangely, and liked to wander around, but they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and they didn't carry weapons or anything.

  So the prefect of Ningcheng sent several yamen servants to be on duty in the villages near Ningcheng, reporting the movements of these men in black every day.

  For a while, these men in black and Ning Cheng lived in peace, without any conflicts.

However, as a professional who singled out more than a dozen copycats, Shen Bai, who was passing by, quickly realized that these men in black were very problematic. Ningcheng prefect and Wutai's attention, and then secretly do some shady deeds.

Shen Bai has seen this kind of strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and attacking the west many times. For example, more than a month ago, there was a cottage that was apparently planning to attack a certain village, but the actual target was a passerby nearby. A caravan! After all, the manpower of the copycat is also very limited, so they can only attack one target at a time, so when the caravan heard that the copycat was attacking a certain village, they would not think that they would be attacked by this copycat.

  However, Shen Bai had guessed the idea of ​​this cottage a long time ago, so he set up a bridge for the caravan and the village in advance, and thus came up with a double attack strategy, making that cottage directly become history.

After being suspicious of these men in black, Shen Bai secretly followed a few men in black, and found that they were circling around Ningcheng, walking in small paths if they could, and walking directly into the mountains when they saw someone nearby , and traps will be placed in some hidden places.

   But this is said to be a trap, in fact it is to determine whether anyone is following them. Shen Bai is also a professional counterpart to this kind of organization, because Shen Bai has seen many similar organizations when he singled out those copycats. . . Of course, when Shen Bai made his first move, he almost died because of a mechanism.

  So just following the man in black for a few laps around Ningcheng, Shen Bai finally saw a man in black disguised as a woodcutter and entered a high mountain closest to Ningcheng.

  Then, Shen Bai saw this "woodcutter" enter a very hidden and guarded cave. The most important thing is that these guards all have a very obvious characteristic - bone martial arts.

  That's right, people in Baigudong use bones as their weapons. Apart from the most common big bone sticks, they are weapons such as bone spears or bone hammers, which all look primitive.

And the fact is indeed the case, the ordinary members of Baigudong can only be said to be inferior to the top in terms of combat effectiveness, and more than the bottom, so they can deal with ordinary people who don't know anything. When it comes to ordinary people who have undergone certain training, they will definitely not be able to fight one-on-one.

As for the cave masters of Baigu Cave, they don’t have any restrictions, they can use weapons of any material, and these cave masters generally have the experience of being expelled from the sect by a nearby sect, so I want to confirm their martial arts The number of ways is also very easy, so Wutai often prescribes the right medicine to solve this hundred-bone-hole sub-rudder easily.

By the way, all the bone weapons used in Baigudong can be determined to be cattle bones, so some people think that Baigudong may have originated from the western prairie, because some tribes on the prairie also He can use cattle bones to make various weapons, and the reason why the Hundred Bone Cave was first discovered by the sea was to cover up his true origin.

After confirming that it was Baigudong, Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief, because he also knew that the strength of Baigudong was relatively average. There were only a few hits.

   As a result, Shen Bai was tricked.

  Because there is only one entrance to the cave, and the guards will pull a rope at the entrance of the cave every once in a while, which seems to be conveying some kind of information, such as "everything is normal outside".

Therefore, although Shen Bai is confident to bring down those guards, he will inevitably startle the snake. Therefore, Shen Bai chose to avoid the edge for the time being, and returned to Ningcheng to inform the Wutai and the prefect, but he suddenly met him when he was going down the mountain. It rained heavily.

"Uh, you may not believe it. Although I am already a third-rate master now, I still can't maintain my balance in rainy days. In short, my feet will slip after taking a few steps, so unless it is absolutely necessary to do so in rainy days, then I definitely wouldn't wander around outside; so yesterday when I was going down the mountain, I fell maybe a dozen times, so I didn't notice whether I touched the mechanism in the process, but the fact is that I must have touched the mechanism .”

"The reason is very simple. I found out that I was being targeted by someone as soon as I went down the mountain. But at the beginning, there were only two or three people, so they didn't dare to attack me directly, so they could only wait behind me. Reinforcements; so after thinking for a while, I could only run to the river, trying to use the river to cover my footprints, and even jump into the river to go downstream for a certain distance if necessary... The result did not occur to me What's more, those guys from Baigudong have already ambushed by the river!"

Shen Bai said happily: "I really didn't expect that an ambush had been arranged by the river, and it happened to be on the escape route I had thought up temporarily, so I was caught off guard. I slipped suddenly, so the sudden attack of these ambushes only caused me skin trauma! And I also jumped into the river, but I don't know why, I smelled a strong smell just after jumping into the water The smell, and then subconsciously I wanted to surface to get some air, but it was as if I hit a rock, and then passed out directly."

Hearing what Shen Bai said, Liu Xing knew that this man was also unlucky, because the ambushes in his eyes were not waiting for him by the river, but were completing his daily task—putting those people who were filled with "grass ash" Throw the bag into the river.

   As a result, after they finished their daily tasks, they just saw Shen Bai running this way in a panic, so they lay in ambush and waited until Shen Bai approached.

   It might be because Shen Bai happened to have slippery feet, or it might be because of the heavy rain. In short, the killer moves of these ambushers didn't work, they just caused some skin trauma to Chen Bai! But when they saw Shen Bai fell directly into the river, they might think that Shen Bai was dead. After all, a lot of cloth bags had just been thrown into the river. Normal people would not be able to stand the smell. to climb up.

As a result, Shen Bai once again passed the lucky judgment, and was knocked unconscious by something when he was about to surface, such as some kind of sundries mixed in the water, or debris that fell from the shore when it was washed by the rain. Shi, in short, he passed out so simply, that's why the pursuers on the shore let Shen Bai go.

"You're really lucky. Those people in the Hundred Bone Cave use bone knives as weapons, so the sharpness of these bone knives is much worse than ordinary iron knives. That's why you suffered a little skin trauma. Otherwise, you would have died of excessive blood loss along the way."

Liu Xing said with a smile: "However, your luck is quite bad, because the ambushes you mentioned actually came to the river due to other things, which is also the reason why you smelled bad after falling into the water, so you were If you choose another escape route, nine times out of ten you will be able to escape unscathed."

   "Oh, so is my luck good or bad?"

Shen Bai shook his head, and said helplessly: "But having said that, I still have to thank you for your kindness, so can you send the Buddha to the west? Help me inform the Wutai or the prefect of Ningcheng about this matter, Let them take action on the sub-helm of this Baigudong as soon as possible, don't let them... Uh, although I don't know what these people in Baigudong are doing, but I can be sure that they have no good intentions, and what they are doing Things are also very important to them, otherwise they would not have arranged those many people in black to attract Wutai's attention outside."

Liu Xing nodded and said: "Don't worry about this, we have actually noticed something strange in Ning Cheng, and if there is no accident, we should have found that cave, so those people in Baigu Cave can't escape! So you just Rest assured here to recuperate, and I will let you know if there is any news later."

When Shen Bai heard Liu Xing say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, although I don't know what the Baigu Cave near Ningcheng wants to do, but I have seen what Baigu Cave does in other places. Because, so I don't want to see these **** guys continue to endanger one side!"

  Since Shen Bai said so, does he have other stories with Baigudong?

Liu Xing gave Yin En a wink, and Yin En immediately said understandingly: "Brother, we don't know your name yet? To be honest, we are here in Tianshui Town; you may not have heard of our Tianshui Town. The situation of the town, because our Tianshui Town was re-established in the last month, but we have obtained the permission of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, so we can directly contact the prefect of Ningcheng! Therefore, we want to tell you your name Give it to the prefect of Ningcheng, and you will be rewarded accordingly."

Shen Bai looked at Yin En in surprise, and then said at a loss: "Ah? I thought I drifted near a certain city, and then I was rescued. I didn't expect this to be Tianshui Town I mean, I knew that Tianshui Town was burned down, so I never thought it would be Tianshui Town; by the way, my name is Shen Bai, and I used to be from Boyang City, so I know the situation of Tianshui Town. But when I was about ten years old, I followed my parents to Kuya City."

   "Oh, I didn't expect that we are still fellow villagers."

Liu Xing said with a smile: "So, Brother Shen, are you going back to Boyang City to visit relatives and friends this time? Here I have to remind you that Boyang City has just changed a city owner recently, so the atmosphere in the city seems to be And a little nervous."

Shen Bai nodded, and said: "That's right, I came here this time to visit relatives in Boyang City, that is, one of my uncles. He has not been in good health recently, so my father let me go for a while. But my original plan was to go to Liangcheng to buy some things, because there are only a few things coming and going in Kuya City, and I don’t even have the necessities for me to travel the rivers and lakes after I leave the teacher.”

At this time, Meng Fugui said, "Kuya City? I heard that it is quite remote there. It seems to be located in a group of mountains. If it weren't for the fact that the local area can produce a good medicine - Kuya, I'm afraid this Kuya The city would not exist at all."

   Is there such a thing?

As a doctor, Liu Xing quickly flipped through the memory of "Liu Peng", but he really remembered a kind of medicinal material called "Bitter Bud". This medicinal material is extremely bitter, but it can treat many diseases, so it is Many medical schools have identified it as a magic medicine!

However, like many medicinal materials, although bitter buds can be planted in other places, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced, and the longer the picking time, the effect of bitter buds on curing diseases and saving lives will become worse and worse, so many medical schools use their own The "ICU ward" is located in Kuya City, just to let Kuya play its greatest role—returning the dead to life.

  So if there is no accident, Liu Xing thinks that Shen Bai's family members may be seriously ill, so they moved to Kuya City many years ago.
