Gold sale

[Task progress: 1/8]

【Countdown: 21:49:54】

Hearing the notification sound of the game sounded as expected, the tight string in Su Ji's heart was slowly released.

The requirement of the game is to let him open the Nine Links in front of him within 15 minutes, but there is no specific method specified.If there are restrictions, the wording above should not be "open" but "untie", and a sentence such as "do not damage, do not use violence to demolish" should be added.

However, the rules of the game were not written.So he took a gamble.

Now it seems to be the right bet.

On the other side, the moment he heard the restriction was lifted, Liu Wenhan pointed to the distance with surprise and said, "Look! There is a ship over there!"

Hearing the sound, the players immediately turned to look in the direction of his finger.At some point, a small boat docked on the shore not far away.The shape and size are exactly the same as those boats they took on the Santu River at the beginning!

Zhou Wen asked: "Does the appearance of this ship mean that we can go there?"

Remember the plot task is called 'Returning Yang'.Their side represents the underworld, and the other side represents the yang world. In this case, the meaning of returning to the yang is to let them go to the other side, and the only means of transportation here must be the boat in front of them.

Cheng Xuyuan: "It should be so. It's just that according to the game settings, Su Ji only passed one level, and only one of the restrictions was lifted, so among us only the one whose restriction was lifted can row to the other side."

Zhou Wen: "So who is that person?"

As soon as the words fell, the players were surprised to find that three clusters of small flames lit up in succession on the top of Cheng Xuyuan's head and on both sides of his shoulders!

"So the lucky one is you." Wu Guang folded his arms and raised his eyebrows, "But what is the fire on your body?"

Xu Hui: "These are the three fires on people."

Wu Guang was puzzled, "Three fires? What are those?"

Xu Hui explained: "There are folk rumors that there are three yang fires on the body of a living person, one on the head and the other two on the shoulders. When walking at night, if someone calls you, don't turn your head, because one will not If you are careful, you will blow out the yang fire on your shoulders, and if the yang fire is extinguished, you will be easily seduced by ghosts."

"Looking at Xiao Cheng's current state, it should be the performance after the restriction is lifted. Because only when the restriction is lifted, we 'ghosts' can rekindle the Yanghuo and return to the Yang world."

Hearing this, Wu Guang asked subconsciously: "Then if Cheng Xuyuan's yang fire goes out, will he also be seduced?"

As soon as the voice fell, the scene suddenly fell silent.

After a while, everyone's expressions changed slightly, even Cheng Xuyuan, who should be most relieved, became serious.

Why didn't they think of it.

Although Su Ji successfully broke through a level and lifted Cheng Xuyuan's restraint, who would have thought that three yang fires would ignite on him again.According to the folklore of the three fires and the setting of general ghost stories, the protagonist will definitely encounter some obstacles when returning to the sun.It's like being blocked by a water ghost on the Santu River before, and no one knows whether the same situation will happen again.

If this is the case, then even if Su Ji lifted everyone's restrictions, they would not be able to escape completely.Because they have to cross the river to return to the sun while protecting their own fire from being blown out.

Just when the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly turned his head to Xu Hui and said, "Sister Xu, do you have an umbrella? Umbrellas or parasols are fine."

Suddenly hearing Cheng Xuyuan's request, Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, feeling a little surprised, then shook her head and said, "I didn't bring one, Xiao Cheng, what do you want an umbrella for?"

But Zhou Jing quickly understood his intention, "You want to use an umbrella to block the wind?"

Cheng Xuyuan nodded, "Yes."

Zhou Jing hesitated to speak, "Does this work?"

After all, this is also the world of ghost stories. Can physical barriers withstand magic attacks?

Cheng Xuyuan: "I don't know, I have to try it to find out."

"I do have one." Zhou Wen opened his backpack and took out a folding parasol and handed it over. "Although it may be a little small for you, it should be barely usable."

"Thank you."

After thanking Cheng Xuyuan, he opened the parasol, and saw pink bunnies in various shapes all over the milky white umbrella surface, and even girlish lotus leaves were sewn on the edge of the umbrella.

"puff--"

Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was holding a small pink umbrella in front of him, Shao Feng and Wu Guang suddenly laughed unkindly.Under the influence of the two of them, the expressions of the other players also became a little subtle.Liu Wenhan subconsciously lowered his head, and Zhou Jing immediately turned his back.

But Cheng Xuyuan pushed his glasses, as if ignorant: "What are you laughing at?"

"That's right! What's so funny." Zhou Wen said with some dissatisfaction, "The little rabbit on my umbrella is so cute."

Shao Feng: "It's really cute. Holding such a pink parasol, even a boring IT straight man like Lao Cheng becomes much cuter."

Cheng Xuyuan gave him a sideways glance, "If you are envious, you can ask Zhou Wen to give you the link of the parasol after you go out, and you can buy one too."

"I don't need it." Shao Feng waved his hand and said, "We are an old man who never wears a parasol when we go out."

"Don't be poor, it's important to do business right now." Wuchang brought back the topic of being distracted, and then said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Since the restriction is lifted, you can go there first. One more person to help you want to come to Su Ji. It should be easier to cross the border."

"I think so too." Cheng Xuyuan said, holding an umbrella and walking towards the small boat on the shore.

Unlike the flat boats on the Santu River, the small boat in front of me actually had a paddle on it.It was easy to guess that this time they would have to row to the other side by themselves.

Thinking about it, Cheng Xuyuan tightened his hand holding the umbrella handle, and carefully boarded the boat.

Looking at the back of him leaving by boat, the hearts of the rest of the players couldn't help but jump.Shao Feng circled his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted: "Old Cheng! No matter what happens later, don't look back!"

Xu Hui then shouted: "Be careful! Don't let the fire go out!"

"Understood!" Cheng Xuyuan replied without raising his head.

Because he still needs to hold a parasol, his rowing movements are not considered agile.After paddling with the paddle for a long time, the boat in front of me was still spinning like a whirlpool on the dark river.

No matter how calm and calm he is on weekdays, Cheng Xuyuan couldn't help sweating at this moment.

After a while, he finally mastered the essentials of rowing.At this time, the boat gradually entered the correct track and slowly swam towards the opposite bank.

【drop!Congratulations to the player "Su Ji" for successfully lifting the ban on the player "Cheng Xuyuan".The current player "Cheng Xuyuan" will cross the Yinyang River and return to Yangjian. 】

Hearing the beep next to his ear, Su Ji subconsciously turned around.On the dark river in the distance, a white-pink semicircle appeared in his field of vision.

Su Ji squinted his eyes, observed carefully for a while, and then realized that the thing was actually a small flower umbrella, and the person under the small flower umbrella was Cheng Xuyuan!

Seeing this slightly funny picture in front of him, Su Ji couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.

What is this about?

[Do you want to suspend the breakthrough? 】

[Reminder: Players can wait for their companions to reach the other side and participate in the next level together. 】

"Yes."

After the voice fell, the second level that was originally popped up was instantly pressed the pause button.

[Pause breakout is on, and the countdown to the plot mission continues, please pay attention to the time. 】

Glancing that there was still time left, Su Ji immediately walked to the shore to meet Cheng Xuyuan.

However, he stood on the shore and looked around for a long time, but the little flower umbrella in the distance was still in the dark waters, as if it hadn't made any progress since just now.

What exactly is going on?

Not only Su Ji, but even Cheng Xuyuan wanted to know about this question.

Earlier on the bank, he roughly estimated that the width of the Yinyang River was about 100 meters.According to his rowing speed, it should take less than 5 minutes to reach the other side.

However, since he got on the boat, he has already rowed nearly [-] meters, but the surrounding river is still dark.

It's not too far to walk with his feet, but he seems to have run a marathon, and he can't see the end.

Why is this so?

"pat..."

Suddenly, a small voice came from behind Cheng Xuyuan.

It's like the sound of goldfish spitting bubbles and bursting bubbles. Although it is light, it is impressive.

There seemed to be something approaching under the calm water.The voice was getting louder and louder, and it made him hear it more clearly.

"Gudu... gudu..."

It's like the sound of boiling water in a teapot to open the lid of the teapot with bubbles, and it's like the sound of the water ghost in the Santu River before.

For a moment, Cheng Xuyuan's back froze.

On both sides of the strait, the players who had been paying attention to Cheng Xuyuan's situation suddenly widened their eyes.

"Old Cheng/Xiao Cheng/Cheng Xuyuan be careful!"

"Whoa-"

Hearing the sound of heavy water breaking, a huge gray figure suddenly appeared in the pitch-black waters in front of him!

It was like a giant, with a head, arms and torso from a distance.But if you look closely, you can find that that thing is not human at all, because it is composed of countless human limbs from top to bottom!

Looking at the flat boat on the Black River in front of him, the heads on the monster's body spoke one after another——

"Don't go...stay here..."

"do not go……"

"Turn back quickly..."

"Aren't you tired? The sea of ​​bitterness is boundless, let's go back to the shore..."

"I can't get to the other side anyway, let's come back..."

Men, women, young and old, the voices of various voices mixed together seemed noisy and weird, and even without looking back, it would send a chill down one's spine.

Thinking of Xu Hui's legend about the three fires, Cheng Xuyuan's left knuckles holding the parasol tightened until they turned white.Before he had time to think about it, he quickly clamped the umbrella around his neck and shoulders, and quickly speeded up the paddling, even though his arms were so sore that he didn't dare to stay for a while.

However, at this time, he seemed to be on a treadmill, and no matter how hard he tried to run, he was still spinning in place.Obviously the opposite bank was not far away, but he just couldn't get close to that white field.It was as if there was a certain force preventing him from moving forward.

Seeing those noisy calling voices getting closer to him, Cheng Xuyuan's glasses couldn't help being fogged up by the sweat on both sides of his cheeks.

At this moment, I only heard the prelude of a slightly familiar music suddenly coming from the other side.

"……This is?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the music, and before they could react, a deep singing sound came from afar——

"Na Wu He Luo Dana Duo Luo Ye Ye..."

"Namo Ah Ye..."

Hearing the singing, Xu Hui's eyes widened, "It's the Great Compassion Curse...Su Ji is amplifying the Compassion Curse!"
