Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2161 Fortune-telling

"It's troublesome, if that Tai Sui really develops and grows in the snow mountain cities, then it will become our biggest nightmare! Because the snow mountain cities are a bit barren, but it is enough for Tai Sui to eat for a while, At that time, if this Tai Sui can really grow up without limit, then it may become bigger than our city of Fei! At that time, it will not have to do anything, just run up to the top of Mount Tai, and then a city will become history!"

Prefect Han said worriedly: "And Yu Lei, you just said that this Tai Sui can complete certain aspects of evolution after devouring certain creatures, such as gaining the ability to move; then since it can evolve legs, it means It is also possible for it to evolve, and if we want to fight it in close combat, we may not be able to beat it."

"I think so too. If that Tai Sui turns all its legs into hands, it will be the Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands! If it learns to use weapons again, even those top masters will not dare to do it casually." Because there is a saying that two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention that this Tai Sui has more than four hands... But what is more troublesome is that even if we use the siege crossbow on that Tai Sui, the effect will probably be the same. It's not going to be great, at most it's going from scratching it to poking it with a needle."

Yu Lei rubbed his chin and said: "Although it is to prevent it from happening, we have no way to deal with this Tai Sui for a while, because we martial arts masters from the Central Plains go to the snow-capped cities. The first difficulty we encounter is not getting used to it." The environment of the snow mountain, after all, is not only cold, but also very windy, which can make you feel difficult to breathe! In addition, there is a **** living near the cities of the snow mountain—the **** of the snow mountain. Often there will be blizzards without warning, and occasionally there will be a thunderbolt for you."

   Liu Xing, who was sitting next to him, could only nod silently at this time, but he was thinking in his heart that this Tai Sui is the ultimate boss in this martial arts module? Of course, the martial arts module here refers to the initial beta version, that is, after players like Ah Yi complete their main missions, they may trigger the hidden mission of crusade against Tai Sui, because Tai Sui is hiding in the north The snow mountain cities are far away from the Central Plains where the players are active.

However, Liu Xing felt that the Cthulhu running team game hall was a bit conscientious, and probably would not arrange for players to go to the snow mountain to feed that Tai Sui, so this Tai Sui will probably stage a "Tai Sui descending Tianshan" Drama.

  So this will most likely become a tower defense game, allowing players to snipe this Tai Sui near a certain city.

However, in today's martial arts modules, this Tai Sui should still be a hidden mission, and it is the kind of hidden mission with extremely harsh trigger conditions. Bring it back to the Central Plains, then it will be possible to trigger the hidden mission of crusade against Tai Sui before the end of this martial arts module!

  So although Liu Xing has heard a lot of information about Tai Sui, he has not activated the corresponding tasks, but what surprised Liu Xing the most is that the Warcraft Illustrated Book has not activated new content.

   Isn't this Tai Sui a monster?

Liu Xing thought about it carefully, and found that this Tai Sui might not be a monster, or that he misunderstood the meaning of a monster at the beginning, and simply compared the monster to a mythical creature, but the problem is that every monster has a monster. What has not been confirmed in common is that they may all be man-made products, and some Frankensteins in the martial arts world have transformed existing creatures into this kind of magical beast with special abilities.

   Creatures like Tai Sui, which already possess special abilities but have not been captured for transformation, cannot be classified as monsters.

Moreover, in the memory of "Liu Peng", the appearance rate of Tai Sui in various folk stories is actually not low, but in these stories, Tai Sui is mostly used as a treasure of heaven and earth, and occasionally appears as a villain, but also by the protagonist. stepping stone.

  However, the Tai Sui in these stories has a lot in common with the Tai Sui in Yu Lei's mouth, so Yu Lei called the unknown creature Tai Sui.

"In short, I will also tell the third prince about this matter. If possible, we must also ask the fourth prince who is stationed in the north to send people to visit the cities in the snow mountain to confirm the existence of this magical beast that has not yet revealed its true colors. , if it is really that Tai Sui, we must let the Snow Mountain Zhucheng take action to deal with this Tai Sui, at least not let it eat and evolve so recklessly."

Yu Lei took a sip of tea, then shook his head and said: "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries. This Tai Sui is actually quite far away from us, and it is impossible to leave the snow-capped cities in a while and come back to trouble us again." ; I don’t know if this Tai Sui will hold grudges, if it does, I suspect it might hit me hard, after all, I almost burned it clean back then.”

   "That's right, the biggest problem right now is Kowloon's seizure of the heir apparent."

  Han Taishou said bluntly: "Actually, some time ago, there was a fortune teller in Feicheng who went to the deep mountains overnight to live in seclusion, because he calculated that this year there will be a situation where Nine Dragons will seize the throne!"

fortune teller?

   Liu Xing looked at Taishou Han with some doubts, because in "Liu Peng"'s memory, only the name fortune teller was called, and as for fortune teller, he had never heard of it.

Because in this martial arts module, any profession with a suffix that can bring a "teacher" has some background, and it is also somewhat related to Zhuzi Academy, such as the one that Liu Xing met in Far West City. A famous novelist, although there is almost no difference in essence from the common storytellers in restaurants and teahouses, they all tell stories to others, but novelists can call themselves "lecturers" after graduating from Zhuzi Academy, and they can work in their permanent residence. Cheng Chi receives a wage that is no more and no less.

  So in a sense, the lecturer in the martial arts module this time is equivalent to the host on the TV station, and the storyteller is an ordinary anchor on various live broadcast platforms!

  As for why Mr. Storyteller is called "Mr. Storyteller", the main reason is that "Mr." corresponds to "Mr. Teacher", so this can be regarded as rubbing traffic.

Of course, if the professional ability of some storytellers can exceed that of ordinary lecturers, then if he is still young, he can join Zhuzi Academy to become a novelist, and if he is too old, although he cannot continue to study, he can still call himself a lecturer .

  So Liu Xing thinks that the fortune-teller mentioned by Taishou Han can be simply understood as an advanced version of a fortune-teller, but Liu Xing has never heard of any school related to fortune-telling in Zhuzi Academy.

   "Fortune teller, I didn't expect there to be a fortune teller in Feicheng."

Yu Lei was a little surprised, and said with some emotion: "I haven't met a fortune teller for many years, and what do those fortune tellers say, they can only say nothing in front of a real fortune teller, so Han Taishou you Do you know this fortune teller, can you introduce me to him?"

   It seems that this fortune teller has something to say.

   "How should I put it, he is my old friend."

Han Taishou smiled and said: "Yu Lei, you also know that a real fortune teller will be more or less related to the three malpractices and five deficiencies, and the more fortune-telling times, the more serious his three malpractices and five deficiencies will be, so I This friend of mine had already washed his hands of gold a few years ago and stopped telling fortunes for outsiders, because he didn't want to be contaminated with more karma; it was precisely because of this that he moved into the deep mountains and old forests overnight, and he was afraid of the third prince. His Highness will send someone to look for him, and the karma at that time will be hard for him to bear."

"That's true. I remember that when I first arrived at the palace, there was a very young fortune teller in Liangcheng at that time. Even His Royal Highness the Third Prince regarded him as a guest, but this fortune teller didn't have a good time for too long. , was turned into coke by a thunderbolt in broad daylight! Because he told fortunes for many people in those years, this cannot be described as leaking secrets." Yu Lei sighed.

"This is also the reason why there are not many fortune tellers now, because real fortune tellers know that every time they tell a fortune, it is equivalent to going to the ghost gate for a walk! And even if it is not related to the huge cause and effect related to the Kowloon seizing the heir, they may ask for it." A fortune teller's life; this friend of mine lost a hand in more than ten years, and the reason why he became like this is that he had a fortune-telling for the child who had a hundred-day banquet in the next door, and because I drank a few more sips of wine, and listened to a few compliments, so I said a few more words."

Taishou Han sighed, shook his head and said, "Even if this kid doesn't have much change in the future, my friend bumped his head when he was going home, and passed out on the side of the street. A hungry wild dog."

   "Hiss~"

  Combined with the context, Liu Xing can even imagine what happened to the friend of Prefect Han. The picture makes people feel scalp numb just thinking about it.

"According to the normal situation, my friend's life must have been lost, but in the end, only such a hand was missing, which means that this is really God's arrangement, and a small punishment and a big punishment for my friend! So from then on, although my friend is still telling other people's fortunes, it's only for such a short period of time, and it's only counted for this one thing, so I haven't encountered any major problems in these years."

As soon as Han Taishou's words fell, Liu Xing couldn't help asking: "Han Taishou, since you said that your friend has figured out that Jiulong seized the heir, then this cause and effect alone is not enough for him to hide in the deep mountains and old forests." Did he escape? What's more, he told you about it, so he doesn't worry about encountering some ferocious beasts, even monsters?"

  As soon as Liu Xing said this, just when Prefect Han was about to say something, his face suddenly became serious.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Before Liu Xing could react, Prefect Han got up and said, "I'm sorry, I have to go and see my old friend now, because something might happen to him. Already!"

   After saying this, Prefect Han hurriedly left the living room.

At this time, Yu Lei also reacted, frowned and said: "Peng, you really may have made your words come true! Because the ground animal yesterday may not have passed by Feicheng by accident, and directed at Feicheng. That friend of Prefect Han is here!"

   Hearing what Yu Lei said, Liu Xing finally realized that the worm yesterday may indeed have come for this fortune teller, because the worm has not been to Fei City a few times in recent decades!

   "Fortune teller, it really is going against the sky."

Yu Lei sighed again, looked at Liu Xing and said, "I heard from my master that although there were not many fortune tellers a few decades ago, a big place like Liangcheng can have a double-digit fortune teller." Fortune tellers, and a small place like Feicheng has one or two fortune tellers in town, and the current fortune tellers are basically the apprentices of these fortune tellers, but they have only learned a little bit, because fortune tellers Compared with those of us who practice martial arts, we should pay more attention to talent, after all, they need to communicate with the world and understand Yin and Yang!"

"But as time went by, these fortune tellers went west one after another due to various accidents, so the rest of the fortune tellers also encountered some accidents more or less, either because they were missing arms or legs, or They just became lonely, so they understood that this was all punishment for leaking the secrets! After that, the number of fortune tellers became less and less, and most of them lived a reclusive life, and they were not very keen on collecting money. disciple, so the youngest fortune teller in my impression, that is also the age when I really know the destiny."

  Forty is not confused, fifty knows the fate.

  Although the average life expectancy in this martial arts module is much higher than that of those dynasties in history, it was carried up by those who practice martial arts, so there are not many ordinary people who can reach the age of fifty.

   It can be seen that this fortune teller has become a real "sunset red" profession.

   "So in the past two years, I can be sure that the fortune tellers who are still alive can be counted with one hand, and they have all started to live in seclusion. Even the third prince has no way to invite them out of the mountain!"

Yu Lei shook his head and said: "Actually, a month ago, when the Third Prince heard that His Majesty was sick in bed, he went to ask these fortune tellers to make a fortune teller for himself, but all these fortune tellers didn't care what you said Nothing, and the third prince has nothing to do about it... But, when I went back to Liangcheng last time, I heard that two fortune tellers passed away suddenly in the past few days, it seems that they still endured I couldn't help but do a lot of calculations, and it turned out that even if this hexagram was not revealed to outsiders, the cause and effect would be unbearable for them."

  Just as Liu Xing was about to say something, another task approached him.

   Fortune telling!
