Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2086 Dream within a dream

  Wait, that sword that fell from the sky?

   Before Liu Xing took a few steps, he suddenly thought of a question, that is, the last sword he saw in his dream, could it be the scrap iron sword he dug up earlier?

   If so, wouldn't I be at a loss!

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help sighing, because as long as there is no accident, this scrap iron sword should have been in the hands of the third prince, so it is basically impossible for him to get it back.

  Sometimes there must be in destiny, but there is no time in destiny. Don't force it.

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

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

Before Tianshui Town was burnt down, many people 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 is Going up the river to find the spring, that is, walking more than ten meters, the stream formed by the spring cannot be found, or it is simply 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 the location of the spring to others, because the spring water from this source is used to make wine, and the quality is much better than other wines. many.

  So after the town of Sweetwater was burned, no one knew about the fabled spring, and some people think that the spring was destroyed in the fire.

So after coming to Tianshui Town, Liu Xing did not think about looking for this spring, and although the spring water flowing down from the mountain is quite delicious, it is not as magical as the previous rumors, so everyone has lost their pursuit. The idea of ​​traceability.

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

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

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

   "A Peng, are you going up the mountain?"

Holding a hatchet, Wu Da said, "There's nothing on this mountain, so why is it worth going up this early in the morning? If you need my help, I'll go chop wood later and accompany you first." one trip."

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

Liu Xing didn't hide it, and said directly: "I can't sleep after waking up in this hot day, so it's better to go up the mountain for a walk, and study where this Taoist temple should be built, so I don't bother Uncle Wu to accompany you." I’ve been on my way, but can you lend me your sickle first? I’m in a hurry, and I forgot to bring a sickle to open the way, so I’m here to scare the grass with one hand.”

   "Then you can use my hatchet. Although it is a bit heavy, it is definitely no problem for opening roads, and I am 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, Ah Peng, I heard that you plan to organize a team of village warriors recently, so can you bring me along? A carpenter can be regarded as having some strength, so it’s not a problem to be a brave man, right?”

   It turns out that there is something I want from myself.

Liu Xing smiled, nodded and said, "Of course it's okay, but Uncle Wu, isn't your carpentry work pretty good? Why do you want to be a hero? I've already told you in advance. , this Xiangyong is not a monk who beats the clock for a day, but really wants 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 no easier than your carpentry work."

Wu Da sighed, shook his head and said: "I know it's not easy, but the problem is that there are not many people in Tianshui Town looking for me to do carpentry work! After all, A Peng, you have already built the wooden house, what about the furniture? We brought all of them 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 them back to subsidize the family, and pass some time by the way ...and we also know the current situation, so you don't dare to spend money carelessly."

  Hearing what Wu Da said, Liu Xing couldn't help but shudder, 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 "lifespan" in this martial arts module is only more than ten months, so they will not think too long-term, so if there is nothing to do, then find a few friends Chat, or go to the card room that just opened for business to pass the time.

But NPCs don't think so, and they don't do this, so when they have nothing to do, they will inevitably feel some anxiety, especially in Tianshui Town today, there is really no place to employ people, so most NPCs Being in a state of being idle at home is equivalent to having no income.

Then here comes the problem. In a short period of time, these NPCs can still rely on the money and food they bring to survive, but if this kind of life is too long, 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 finds an opportunity, so he came to him to ask for a position as Xiangyong.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing nodded and said: "No problem, Uncle Wu, just wait for my news. If there are no accidents, the recruitment of Xiangyong will start in two days."

   After receiving Liu Xing's affirmative answer, Wu Da also heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and went home.

   And after Liu Xing struggled for a while, he decided to go up the mountain first, because it was a little early to go back to find Meng Fugui and others, and they might not have woken up yet.

  Because of the big fire that year, there are only a few weeds in Tianshui Mountain today, so Liu Xing walks quite easily, but he is occasionally scratched by weeds.

As for the imaginary snakes, it may be because the wine gorilla has existed for many years, so there is no food here, so Liu Xing has never encountered them, which also makes Liu Xing breathe a sigh of relief, after all, Liu Xing does not want to see them snake's.

   Soon, Liu Xing came to the halfway up the mountain, and also saw a clear spring flowing down the river.

   And Liu Xing also followed the clear spring and saw it disappear under a stone within a few steps.

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

  So Liu Xing cleaned up the surrounding weeds, and then squatted down to study the stone, and soon determined that the stone was indeed engraved with words, but Liu Xing couldn't recognize what the words meant.

  The reason is very 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 Xinlong Empire are already official script, so the difference between the two is still quite big, so Liu Xing can’t recognize it It's also normal.

  Then the question is, why would someone engrave the characters of the previous dynasty on this stone? So could this be a stone carving left by the previous dynasty?

Liu Xing roughly measured it. The size of this stone is about the same as the big round table at home, and that big round table can seat more than ten people. Besides, I don't know if this stone has been damaged by human beings. In short, it is an irregular shape.

  So 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 very important, right?

After Liu Xing thought about it for a while, he decided to tell Yu Lei about it after going down the mountain later, and let him study what was engraved on this stone, because Yu Lei had bragged to Liu Xing before. However, I know a thing or two about astronomy, geography, and characters in ancient times.

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

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly opened his eyes wide, and suddenly remembered that he should be in the inn in Boyang City at this time, why did he return to Tianshui Town after waking up? !

  Liu Xing suddenly looked up, only to realize 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 he changed its position.

  Dream within a dream? !

   Liu Xing was startled, he didn't expect to encounter such a situation, and when he realized that this was a dream within a dream, he showed no sign of waking up!

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

   First of all, this is the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, so whether it is a dream or a dream in a dream, it will follow a basic setting of "excusable circumstances", so the dream in the dream I am having now is definitely not aimless.

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

   But in the final analysis, the existence of this dream in the dream is to let me determine the relationship between Tianshui Town and Tianshui 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 didn't intend to find out what the words engraved on it meant, but just wanted to know how many words there were and how the sentences were broken in the middle.

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

   This happens to be a seven-character verse, plus a four-character title and a two-character author name!

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

  This also proves that the Tianshui tribe in the dream is the Tianshui town in the martial arts mod.

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

   Liu Xing took a breath, because if this guess is correct, it would be a great discovery!

It's like you are playing a game, and you were 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 The experience directly rises to a higher 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 small town in Lu You's poem, the current Tianshui Town obviously does not meet the description in that poem, so Liu Xing reckons that it needs to meet certain conditions. The first poem will be realized directly!

  Especially the sentence "The mountain is poor and the river is full of doubts, and there is another village"!

  If this poem can be realized, then Tianshui Town is likely to become a huge ecstasy array, allowing the enemy to start getting lost after entering it!

  But if you want to achieve this point, you should have to achieve the previous poem--Mo Xiao Farm's Lajiu is muddy, and there are enough chickens and pigs to keep guests in a good year.

   This means that during the autumn harvest season, if Tianshui Town can achieve a bumper harvest, and treat the passing tourists to eat and drink well, then the next poem can be drawn, and Tianshui Town will have its own enchantment array!

As for the next "Xiaogu follows the Spring Club, and the clothes are simple and ancient", that is to let the NPCs in Tianshui Town and the players hold a Spring Club together, which is a ceremony used to pray for a good harvest before spring plowing, and in the process Everyone has to wear simple clothes, and that is considered to have completed the task, which leads to the last line of the poem.

  From now on, if you are free to ride the moon, you will knock on the door all the time and night with a stick.

   If there is no accident, Lu You himself will have to knock on Liu Xing's door in the middle of the night!

   At this moment, Liu Xing felt dizzy, and then saw Yu Lei looking at him worriedly.

   "A Peng, are you having a nightmare?"

   Yu Lei said nervously: "I saw that you hadn't woken up yet, so I came over to call you, but I saw that you closed your eyes tightly, and then kept changing your expression, which 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 to eat now, and we have to hurry after dinner."

  Seeing that Liu Xing had said so, Yu Lei didn't struggle anymore, so the two continued on their way after having breakfast.

On the way, Liu Xing still couldn't forget the dream within a dream, so when he stopped to rest, Liu Xing couldn't help asking: "Brother Yu, by the way, didn't I have a strange dream today?" I dreamed that I returned to Tianshui Town, and I came to the mountain behind Tianshui Town, and then I found a stone with engraved characters on the mountain, but this is the text of the previous dynasty, so I can’t recognize it. content."

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