Chapter 182 A Long, Long Time Ago

This lyrics tells a story.

1000 years ago, a king of the Shazhou Kingdom fell in love with a beautiful and kind woman. He wanted to marry her, but the beauty of the woman was jealous of the king's mother, the queen. Convict her with this and imprison her in the tower.He also found a black wizard to summon the power of darkness, and summoned underground behemoths to guard around the tower to prevent the king from rescuing the woman.But evil will not defeat justice in the end, and an ugly heart is not worthy of a noble position. The king exiled his mother and went to the tower to rescue the girl himself. From then on, they got married and lived happily together.

The story is very long, and the bard sang it slowly with the same tone, and the voice echoed in the night wind, carrying a sense of lingering meaning.

After singing a song, the bard looked up: "Does it sound good?"

Jiang Li smiled slightly, "It sounds good." He took out a coin and put it into the bard's hand.

The bard pocketed the coin, set up his harp again, and sang another song.

Still the same tune, but the lyrics became a follow-up.

The day when the king slayed the giant beast and rescued his lover was designated as the Happy Festival. This festival has been handed down and has been used to this day, fulfilling countless loves.It is the favorite festival of Shazhou people, which symbolizes the loyalty and unswerving love of their people.

But after the king married the new queen, the giant beasts were left behind, and people became familiar with their habits and began to live in peace with them.It was also because of their existence that they acted as a deterrent, and several wars were avoided.So the later rulers designated it as a city guard beast.They are the flowers that the love of the king and the new queen has borne in this desert, and they are also the gift of their love to the subjects.Later, the rule of the dynasty collapsed, and the giant beasts continued to survive, guarding Shazhou City until now.From then on, people love the Happy Festival and the Shoucheng Beast.The story of the king and the new queen will be passed down forever.

After the song was sung, the bard didn't ask Jiang Li if it sounded good. He stood up, took off his hat to pay respects to Jiang Li, then turned around and left with the piano in his arms.

Jiang Li held on to the new money, a little regretful that she couldn't buy more information.

But it's already complete.

Jiang Li followed the flowers and trees in a low voice: "The king, the new queen, the old queen, the black wizard, the tower, the Joy Festival, the guard beast." These are all the key elements provided in the bard's story.

Jiang Li said: "In the lyrics, there is no whereabouts of the black wizard."

Huashu thought for a while: "Maybe he was exiled with the old queen, or was executed, or ran away. Because the black wizard is not an important role, he was hidden." Probably these three endings.

Jiang Li nodded, "It makes sense. There is also the tower mentioned in the story, I don't know if it is still there."

Huashu said: "Shall we ask the people here during the daytime tomorrow?"

Jiang Li nodded: "Okay." In a game, it is necessary to grasp all the information as much as possible in order to find the key to breaking the game, so no clue can be let go.

At this time, it was already dark, and the whole city was silent with all the lights turned off, only listening to a song, and there was no one on the street.

The earthen houses around cast black shadows under the moonlight. It was getting dark quickly, and the surroundings fell into silence, except for the fountain in the center, which sprayed water suddenly.And because of the quietness of the night, the sound of the fountain's water flow was infinitely amplified, making it appear abrupt and abrupt.

Jiang Li looked at the street where the bard was going, and found that the bard had disappeared.

Jiang Li turned her head and walked to the fountain pool. There were too many people here during the day, and she couldn't get close. The statue of the king and his wife in the center of the fountain was lifelike even under the moonlight.

Jiang Li stood in front of the base of the statue, supported the edge of the pool with her hands, leaned forward as much as she could, and looked at the words on the pedestal.

Huashu was afraid that he would fall in, and grabbed his back.

In the spring water, the reflected moon is like a disc, and the coins piled up underneath are shattered, and the reflection of the moon is scattered by the water flow of the fountain, casting sparkling light and shadow on Jiang Li's face.

After seeing the base of the statue, Jiang Li straightened up, "Only the names of the king and queen are written."

Huashu glanced at the stele, and held Jiang Li against the deserted moonlight: "Let's go back."

Feeling the silence around her, Jiang Li nodded immediately: "Okay."

It's a 10-minute journey, they walked quickly, and they arrived at the hotel in 5 minutes.

Arriving downstairs, Jiang Li looked up.

Probably because of the angle, there is a window on the third floor that is illuminated by moonlight, reflecting the moonlight like a mirror.

Jiang Li glanced at it, and sighed to Huashu: "The moon in this game is so big!" Every time it is as bright as a disc, so every night is not so dark.

This is two extremes with the dungeon.

The underground city is safe, but without moonlight and sunshine, it is like a dead city.There are moonlight and sunshine in the game, and some are even full of vitality, but their lives are always in danger.

Huashu nodded, pulled Jiang Li and knocked on the door of the hotel.

After knocking for a long time, the waiter of the hotel came to open the door. Seeing that he was wearing pajamas, Jiang Li asked him in surprise, "It's just getting dark, so you closed the door and went to sleep?"

The waiter's nose, which was slightly higher than that of the players, cast a shadow on his face. He yawned and said to Jiang Li, "We have a good habit here, and we all sleep at night. Unlike you travelers, who don't have a good Sleeping habits, so I always look bad."

Jiang Li looked at him with mystery on his face, trying to find out the news: "I don't see anyone outside, so it's not safe to go outside at night?"

The waiter looked at him in surprise, huh?With a sound.

With an expression that I understand, Jiang Li took out the undelivered coins and put them in the hands of the waiter. "tip."

The waiter frowned, put the coins away happily, and then said earnestly: "How can it be unsafe? We have always had good law and order here, not to mention there are city guard beasts outside the city, so how could it be dangerous? I didn't tell you, my guest. Well, we have good work and rest habits here. It has been inherited thousands of years ago."

As he spoke, he yawned and went to sleep.

Jiang Li was a little disappointed, there was no news!

Huashu couldn't help laughing, "Okay, don't be addicted. There are so many news that you can easily buy with money." If you can buy it, then this game is too simple.

Jiang Li smacked her lips: "That's right." When going upstairs, Jiang Li suddenly twitched her brows, "You said the waiter said that this schedule was inherited thousands of years ago, you said it must have been from thousands of years ago Which dynasty did the king and the new queen follow?"

Huashu said: "It's possible."

Jiang Li squeezed her chin: "There must be secrets in the rules passed down from that time. It means that the death order was issued to execute it, so this custom is still used today. It can be seen how well the people in power at that time carried out this order Harsh."

Jiang Li made a decision, so it's not that he didn't get any information from the waiter, it just depends on whether you are sharp enough. "Something will happen tonight." Jiang Li affirmed.

Huashu thought for a while: "I have a guess, I don't know if it's right."

At this time, the two had already returned to the room. Jiang Li pressed Huashu on the bed and stood in front of the bed. He pressed Huashu's shoulder and looked down at him: "What guess?"

Hua Shu said: "Just outside the hotel, we looked up at the third floor. It is said that the windows on the third floor are all facing the moonlight, but why is that one reflecting the light?"

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows: "You mean that room is tricky? For example, being selected or something?"

Huashu nodded.

Jiang Li guessed: "Could it be a problem of our angle?"

Huashu nodded: "It's also possible."

Jiang Li thought for a while, "We're just guessing randomly, do you think we should remind you?"

Huashu said: "Go."

The two knocked on the door of 303 based on the location of the window they remembered.

It was a young man who opened the door, and his roommate was a middle-aged man, both men.

Jiang Li told them her guess and told them to be careful.

Young people seem to be paying attention, while middle-aged people seem to be a little absent-minded.

Amid the young man's thanks, Jiang Lihuashu left.

There was no dream all night, and the next morning, due to going to bed early the night before, Jiang Li got enough sleep, so she woke up early in the morning.

He washed up first, and then woke up the flower tree.

When Huashu went to wash up, Jiang Li went out to the door of 303, and then knocked on the door of 303.

There was no movement inside, Jiang Li thought for a while, fearing that he would not wake up and would not be disturbed, so she went back.

After Huashu finished washing, sister Mei and the others came over, and everyone gathered together.Jiang Li went to 303 and knocked a few more times.

This time there was a response from inside, the voice was slow and sleepy, "Who is it?" It was the middle-aged man.

Jiang Li asked: "Are you all right?"

The middle-aged man said: "It's okay." It seemed that he hadn't woken up, and there was a little disturbed irritability in his voice.

As soon as Jiang Li heard that there was nothing wrong, she left.

"Did you guess wrong last night?" He asked Huashu.

"It seems to be." Huashu replied.

Sister Mei and the others asked what was going on, and Jiang Li went downstairs, telling the news and guesses from what she had seen and heard yesterday.

There were already players eating in the lobby downstairs. Xiao Shan ran out to have a look, then came back quickly and said, "There are a few breakfast shops open outside, do we want to try the local specialties?" He rubbed his stomach after speaking, showing A greedy look.

To be honest, the food in the dungeon is simple and there are only so many ingredients. Papa Shan’s cooking skills are mediocre, except that Meijie can occasionally improve their meals, but Meijie can do a lot. Xiaoshan hasn’t eaten special snacks for a long time.

For example, deep-fried dough sticks and tofu nao are common snacks, but there is no such condition in the dungeon.Living in the dungeon for so long, he hasn't eaten a few good meals in the game. He feels that birds can fade out of his mouth!

It is rare to have money and conditions now, so naturally we should try our best to cherish food while cherishing life.

Since Xiaoshan wanted to eat, everyone did not object, and went out to have breakfast together.

The breakfast style here is quite ordinary, but Xiaoshan ate the deep-fried dough sticks and tofu nao that he had always wanted, as well as baked buns and milk tea.

After a lap, Xiaoshan was almost unable to walk.I also ordered lunch in advance: naan, mutton soup, and beef bone noodles.

Now in the morning, there are gradually people on the street, and there is even a morning market selling vegetables.

The people here look more like ethnic minorities in Huaguo. Their facial features are deeper than those of the Han people, and their skin is also of the yellow race.It doesn't look abrupt, standing among them, there is not much sense of disobedience.
