Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2140 Niu Xing (ask for a subscription at the end of the month)

   At the same time, Liu Xing, who was thousands of miles away, had already had dinner.

  The dinner prepared by Prefect Han is all local specialties, but since a small place like Feicheng has no specialties, it is a table of home-cooked dishes after all, but the taste is quite good.

At the dinner table, Prefect Han suddenly mentioned something, "By the way, I heard a very strange thing recently. I think you can tell His Royal Highness the Third Prince when you return to Liangcheng! A friend went out to visit his grandson some time ago. When he came back, he met a group of strange people on the road. These people were all dressed in black robes, and they were driving a black goat. The person in front is holding a black goat cub, which seems to have been born only a few days ago."

black goat? And the cubs of the black goat?

Hearing these two key words, Liu Xing immediately pricked up his ears, but he couldn't directly ask Prefect Han, because Prefect Han's words were clearly aimed at Lei, and he is an old-fashioned cultural person. , so Liu Xing has to abide by etiquette at this time, so as not to be "blocked" by Han Taishou.

"Oh? The behavior of these people is indeed a bit strange, but in my impression, there are no demons and heretics who would let their subordinates do this, and the sheep we raise here are mainly sheep, so if I were to It may take a lot of time for Liang Cheng to find a group of black goats, and at the same time, he may not be able to find enough of them."

Yu Lei's words made Liu Xing quickly check the memory of "Liu Peng", and found that the goat production area of ​​Xinlong Empire had to go far south, so the sheep farmers under the rule of the third prince were all Raise sheep.

For example, in the Bai family's pasture, almost all white sheep are raised, because white wool is more popular, and every year there will be a special person to buy the Bai family's wool, and those variegated wool will be bought by the Bai family. Stay at home for your own use.

Of course, the Bai family also felt that the white wool echoed their own surname, which was a good omen, so they bought a white cow from somewhere a few years ago, and served it with delicious food. This cow even had a cowherd specially assigned to it.

  According to Baihecheng, his character card got drunk once a few years ago, and then wanted to ride the white bull away, and then he was beaten up by his father himself without any surprise.

  So just like Yu Lei said, there are really few goats on this three-acre land, let alone the rarer black goats.

   But when it comes to black goats, Liu Xing can't help but think of one thing, that is, his hometown is also one of the main producing areas of black goats!

  So Liu Xing recalled the mutton soup he had eaten when he was a child, and found that many of the shops tied at the door were black goats.

   Could it be that at this time, I have an intersection with the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group?

  Ahem, just kidding, Liu Xing also knows that this black goat cub has nothing to do with the black goat, at most they have similar names! It's like wife cake and husband and wife lung slices, the names are for reference only.

   But, this is the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, so there will be a group of strange people related to the black goat cubs, which will inevitably make the players think too much.

   After all, the player who can come to this martial arts module, the big name who has never heard of the black goat cub?

  So Liu Xing reckoned that the group of people who were traveling with the black goat was probably the bad taste of those players back then.

  However, there is no guarantee that these people are good people, they may also be a group of demons and heretics! It's just that they are a little more unorthodox and like to use the black goat as their mascot.

"It stands to reason that it is impossible for those evil heretics to just walk on the road so carelessly, and these people still wear black robes on a hot day, so they are really not afraid of the heat. At the same time, these people still lead a sheep, This is even more strange, after all, this sheep is quite honest, as long as you can control the leading sheep, then the rest of the sheep will follow you obediently, so this is unreasonable, 100% unreasonable!"

  Yu Lei took a sip of his wine and continued to ask: "So Prefect Han, after your friend met these weird people, did these weird people trouble your friends? Or did your friends encounter any strange things?"

"That's not true, because after seeing these weird people, my friend immediately chose to ignore them, and then left quickly, and these weird people didn't do anything to him, and continued to indulge in their own world and couldn't extricate themselves. Just take those black goats and continue to move forward; after he returned to Feicheng, he may have lost his appetite and sleep a little because he was scared two days ago, but it will be fine within two days Now, because nothing strange happened, he just assumed that those people might have problems with their brains."

Han Taishou said seriously: "However, I always feel that this matter is a bit difficult, because we all know people who can do this kind of thing. If there is one person, we can still say that he has a brain problem, and if there are two, we can also say that he has a brain problem." It is said that they are two fools getting together to make a fuss, but so many people get together to do such a strange thing, then I can only think of one possibility, that is, this group of guys should be crazy! So if you, the emissary, If you have time, please discuss this matter with His Highness the Third Prince, I am worried that these people will do something against you in the future!"

   "Well, even if these weirdos are not demons and heretics, they may make the people around them uneasy, and it will be a problem at that time."

Yu Lei put down his chopsticks, and said with some confusion: "But, it's been so long since this incident, and I haven't heard any other news about this incident, so it's not easy to find these strange people now, after all, they also They are all wearing black robes, and it is estimated that no one who sees them will know what they look like, even if they are male or female?"

At this moment, Han Yu, who had been silent by Han Taishou's side, suddenly said, "Well, I seem to have read a similar story in an ancient book! It's just that this ancient book belongs to a friend of mine, and he was in the I moved to another place a few years ago, and then we lost contact directly, so I can’t guarantee whether the content in my memory is completely correct, so if you want to hear it, I will say it, and if you don’t want to hear it Forget it."

Since Han Yu has said so, it is impossible for Yu Lei not to listen, not to mention that in this martial arts module, the records in many ancient books are quite reliable, because of the existence of novelists, the stories in those stories The mythological and strange elements have been absorbed into their novels, so the content of other ancient books can stand scrutiny, and the accuracy rate should be about 70% to 80%.

Seeing Yu Lei nodding his head, Han Yu couldn't wait to say: "Although this ancient book was written by Anonymous, some friends and I speculated that it was probably written a hundred years ago based on the content of this book, and The author should be a man named Niu Xing, that is, Mr. Niu Bi from Liangcheng."

   Niu Xing?

When he heard this name just now, Liu Xing was taken aback, because Liu Xing did not expect that the author of the ancient book that Han Yu said had the same name and surname as himself, but when Han Yu mentioned "Mr. Niu Bi", Liu Xing He also knew that this person was actually called Niu Xing, because he was considered a celebrity who could be included in the local chronicles of Liangcheng, so Liu Xing just heard his title, and the situation of this person automatically appeared in his mind.

In short, Niu Xing is a novelist. He used to be the teacher of Zhuzi Academy for a while, but because of his father's sudden death, he chose to go home to observe mourning for three years, and then stayed in Liangcheng to start a bookstore business. , and most novelists either become storytellers or bookstore owners after graduation. Of course, they usually choose me and want them all!

So when Niu Xing opened a bookstore, he would often set up a tea stall at the entrance of his bookstore, and then sit there and start telling stories. Therefore, as long as there is a tea stall at the entrance of Niu Xing’s bookstore, it means that there are good stories to tell. Listen, so within a quarter of an hour, the tea stand was full of people.

Of course, if you want to sit at a tea stand, drink tea and listen to stories, you must have money, because money is never a problem for novelists. The problem is that you don’t have new stories in your head, so if you want to If you want to sit in the VIP position and listen to Niu Xing tell a story, you have to tell Niu Xing a story before Niu Xing starts telling the story. Regardless of the length of the story, as long as there is something new, you can get a few brands from Niu Xing, and then You can take a sign and go to the tea stand to take a seat, and finally drink tea happily and listen to the story.

  That’s right, Niu Xing’s set of operations made Liu Xing think of someone—Pu Songling!

It is said that the reason why Pu Songling was able to write "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" was to open a tea stall for passers-by to drink tea for free, but these passers-by had to tell a story to Pu Songling, so Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" could contain nearly Five hundred stories.

   And Liu Xing likes "Raksha Haishi" the most, a story about turning ugliness into beauty and turning black and white.

So Niu Xing in this martial arts module is the same as Pu Songling. At the last moment of his life, he wrote a book "Niubi Story Collection", which records thousands of different stories, and Niu Xing is also in this book. It is written in the book that he is just a collector of these stories, at most he has done some embellishments, so he dare not call himself the author of this book, so he only left the word "ox pen", which means this This book is written by "Niu Xing".

  So, Niu Xing was also called Mr. Niu Bi.

However, from Liu Xing’s point of view, this Niu Xing is also likely to be played by the players back then, because Niu Xing is obviously against Pu Songling, and his name is pronounced similar to his own, so Liu Xing There is reason to suspect that Niu Xing's name is a "tribute" to himself.

As for Niu Xing's identity as a writer, Liu Xing remembered that when he was growing up between scenes, he once encountered a choice of "Internet author", and he who had just joined the game hall of the Cthulhu running team was facing When Wu Lei started, he also wanted to become an online author and write a novel related to the Cthulhu running game!

From this point of view, I may have been an Internet author back then, because I liked reading novels and my language skills were not bad, so whether it was to earn some extra money or for other reasons, becoming an Internet author was a must. It is normal, after all, there is no threshold to become a web author, as long as you can type and use the web, you can become a web author.

  So, does this also prove that he is also the first batch of players in the game lobby of the Cthulhu Running Group?

  However, why don't I have any memory about that year?

When Liu Xing was thinking about his past, Han Yu continued: "You may have heard that although Niu Xing only has one work on the surface, of course this work can be divided into hundreds of books. , so we can be sure that Niu Xing's writing efficiency is quite high, so many people think that Niu Xing actually has other works, but he didn't publish them for various reasons; and the ancient book I read before is In this way, because many of the details in that book seem to be written by Niu Xing, and some stories are repeated, but the stories in this book look more like drafts.”

"However, this is not too important. The important thing is that this book mentions a **** named Forest Black Goat. Although the name of this **** is a bit strange, its ability is very powerful. It can mop up the entire forest. all become their own domain, and its offspring, those black goats, will also turn into a huge monster! Of course, if someone happens to stand next to the black goat that is going to transform, then this person will also be with the black goat. The goat merged into one body, and it was the man who dominated the new body."

"Therefore, those followers of the black goat in the forest will lead a black goat with them. The purpose is that when their gods show their power, they can become powerful sons of gods and serve their gods like dogs and horses. Thanks! And at the end of this story, it is mentioned that in a dense forest north of Boyang City, it used to be the residence of the forest black goat, and it was also the place where it appeared for the last time, but the most important thing is this There are still many black goats that have completed transformation in the forest!"

Um?

   Both Liu Xing and Yu Lei stared wide-eyed, because according to Han Yu, the forest black goat lives near Wangxiangtai, and it can even be said that it lives in Wangxiangtai!

   But more importantly, Liu Xing can be sure that the so-called forest black goat is the forest black goat - Shabu Nicholas!

  It’s just that the black goat cub has been degraded from a mythical creature to an ordinary black goat, and it may be taken away by ordinary people.

Let me explain my current situation here, that is, why I haven’t updated the new book yet. Simply put, I have a small heart problem, so I will have an operation at the beginning of next month. Unless it is a big failure, it should be fine. questionable.

   As for the specific time, we have to wait for the indications for surgery, but it will be around the next week or so.

   So take a break tomorrow, have a good meal, and then prepare for the operation. Of course, I will also prepare some manuscripts to ensure that the update will not be interrupted for a long time. As for the new book, I have to wait for it to be restored first.

   In the end, that is, if I really voted for a big failure, someone will send out all my remaining manuscripts, and then everyone can wait for me to fall asleep, and let you experience what is called a voice novel.
