Chapter 51 Old Stories from the Tian Family
The black cat said and roared like a threat, but Xiao Jie was stunned, "Wang? Are you serious?"
By the way, why does this cat speak in a smoky and hoarse voice, giving it a sense of deja vu as a gangster?
He knew that the sound was made up in his mind, but he was still speechless.
The black cat said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I am the king of this mountain. Everything in this mountain is mine. Squirrels are afraid of me, pigeons are afraid of me, and even you stupid cats don't dare to be rude to me. Rush to pay tribute to me."
As it spoke, it used its front paws to pull out the remaining dried fish and starchy intestines at its feet. They were probably snacks fed by someone who was overflowing with love.
"If you want to compete for my position as king, we will have to fight!"
After speaking, he arched his back and assumed a posture of wanting to fight.
Xiao Jie found it interesting, but he didn't expect that the cat's thoughts were quite complicated.
"Dashan, you are talking about this little bumpkin behind you, hahahaha, you are so funny. Don't worry, little guy. I have no interest in competing for territory with you. I just want to go for a run and exercise."
The black cat tilted its head and looked at Xiao Jie, "Meow, okay big stupid alien cat, I believe what you say, but don't play tricks, I'm keeping an eye on you."
The black cat raised its front paws, pointed at its own eyes, and then at Xiao Jie.
The movements are quite a bit like a gangster brother.
Xiao Jie finally couldn't help laughing, turned around and went home under the angry and confused eyes of the black cat.
When Xiao Jie woke up the next morning, he felt a soreness in the muscles in his legs.
Damn, I actually strained a muscle.
He rubbed his thighs helplessly for a while. Well, it seems that in reality, he has to train himself to get used to the added attributes.
After breakfast, Xiao Jie got online early.
He couldn't wait to go to the farmland again to upgrade, but before leaving the village, he still had two things to do. One was to feed the dog, and the other was to ask the NPC about the Tian family's old house.
There was no rush to feed the dog, so Xiao Jie decided to get information first.
Xiao Jie went straight to the farmland to the west of the village. Several farmers were hard at work driving their cattle and plowing the ground. The old cattle were panting and pulling the plow.
Some farmers are harvesting ripe wheat.
Naturally, farming in this game is not as complicated as in reality. You just need to turn over the ground, sow the seeds, water it, and then harvest.
A crop of food can be grown in just half a day.
There was no technical content in this job, but the price of food was very low and it couldn't be sold for much money, so Xiao Jie didn't do it.
The NPC named Tian, one of the farmers named Tian Bao, was waving a hoe to help dig up the land.
"Brother, can you please lend me a moment to discuss important matters?"
But Tian Bao sighed, "Don't make fun of me, young man. What important thing can I do as a farmer? I haven't finished my work yet. If you have anything to ask, just ask."
"Excuse me, do you know anything about the Lao Tian family? They are the Lao Tian family in the abandoned farm east of the valley."
Na Tian Bao had a strange expression on his face, "Why do you ask this?"
"I would like to know how to enter the gate of the Natian family's old house."
"Hmph, I get it. You must be after the property in my ancestral house. Let me tell you, those are all the property of my Tian family. If there is a disaster, you will naturally put it there first, and wait for someone to recover in the future. In these troubled times, all the property of my Tian family belongs to me, so don’t even think about grabbing a piece of it.
Go, go, get out of here, I'm too lazy to talk to you. "
A dialog box popped up in front of Xiao Jie's eyes.
[Option 1: Brother, don’t be so excited. Of course I have my reasons for wanting to enter that old house. Just listen to my explanation. (persuade).
Option 2: Brother, why are you so anxious to refuse? God knows how many years it will take for the demonic and chaotic world to end. Instead of waiting for that vain hope, why not exchange some money. I have money here. As long as you tell me how to enter the old house, The money is yours (to buy).
Option 3: Boy, don’t give me a toast or drink as a penalty, tell me honestly what’s going on, otherwise - hum... (threat). 】
Hey, as expected, this Tian Bao is actually a descendant of the old Tian family. It seems that this kid really knows something. Otherwise this dialog box will not appear.
Xiao Jie looked at the three options and thought quickly.
Intimidation definitely won't work, and he can't kill anyone in the village. The most he can do is beat him up. It has no actual deterrent effect, and it can easily cause trouble and lower the reputation of the villagers.
If you buy it, you can fill in the figure yourself, but I only have a few hundred coins in total, and I also need to repair equipment and buy supplies for emergencies, so I can't waste it.
Better to convince.
Our tongue is very powerful.
Whether it is persuasion, bribery or intimidation, you can use it on your own. Xiao Jie thought for a while and then thought of his words.
I decisively chose 1.
"Brother, don't be so excited. Of course I have my own reasons for wanting to enter that old house. Just listen to my explanation.
I actually do it for your own good. That old house has been abandoned for so long. It has been exposed to the wind and rain and has no one to take care of it. It has long been dilapidated. Maybe it will be ruined in a few years. By then, all the money and house will be wiped out. It would be better Let me help you open it. If there is really something good inside, your share will be indispensable.
In fact, I am not a greedy person. I opened the door of the old house to find out the truth of some strange events. Do you know that the demonic energy around your ancestral house is boiling and monsters are rampant. There must be a ghost in this ancestral house. If I don't help you Besides, it will be troublesome if you want to take the property back in the future. "
These words are really effective.
Tian Bao's face was tangled for a while, but he had to admit that what Xiao Jie said made sense and nodded with difficulty.
"What little brother said makes sense. Okay, I'll believe you just once. I don't know how to enter my ancestral home, but I can tell you some of the things that happened in my Tian family back then.
But you must agree to help me with something. My ancestors left the old house in a hurry and didn't even take the land deed with them. If I want to take back the property in the future, it may be a hidden danger.
If you enter the ancestral home, you should help me find the land deed and return it to me.
If you are willing to swear a poisonous oath, I will tell you. "
[System prompt: Trigger the task [Search for Land Deed], help Tian Bao find the land deed of the Tian family’s old house, and make a [Godly Punishment Oath]. If the land deed is found, it must be returned to Tian Bao. Do you accept it? Yes/No. 】
Xiao Jie naturally chose to accept it. It was useless for him to ask for the thing anyway. Once he found it, he could just return it to him.
If you can't find it, it won't be considered a breach of the oath.
"Okay, as long as I can find the land deed, I will bring it back to you, otherwise I will be punished by God."
Tian Bao nodded, "That's no problem, little brother, please listen carefully——
What happened to my Tian family back then was also told by my ancestors. At that time, the great disaster had occurred for more than a hundred years. Most of the Ginkgo Valley was hit by the disaster and no one could live in it. Many residents scattered in the valley fled to Ginkgo Village to live in peace. It is said that the Ginkgo Village is protected by fairy trees, which can ensure safety.
My Tian family is a big business. The head of the family, Tian Youcai, is highly skilled in martial arts and has many servants. He can barely hold on to one side of the family business.
However, demons are becoming more and more rampant day by day. Although my great-great-grandfather Tian Youcai tried his best to save the family business, he became increasingly unable to do so.
Later, he met a strange Taoist from nowhere and got a treasure from the strange Taoist. It is said that this treasure is very magical and can summon heavenly soldiers and generals to come down to earth to protect my family, even if there are many demons and monsters. In the eyes.
It is impossible to verify what this treasure is now, but according to my father, it was very powerful, and it really attracted many heavenly soldiers and generals when it was used.
It's just that these heavenly soldiers and generals are a bit scary in appearance. The servants of my Tian family are not very knowledgeable. When they saw the heavenly soldiers and generals, they all ran away in fear, leaving only the young and old of my Tian family.
At that time, my Tian family had a total of five people. My ancestors were Tian Youcai’s second son named Tian Erhu, and the eldest son, Tian Daniu. The head of the family was Tian Youcai, his mother was Tian Li, and there was an old man whose name was Can't remember anymore.
Originally, a family of five could live a life together with the heavenly soldiers and generals they had recruited, but unexpectedly, Na Tian Youcai went crazy and drove the whole family out. He sealed the door alone and hid in the old house.
I don’t know what happened after that. I only know that my ancestor later went to Ginkgo Village and settled down. After that, I didn’t hear anything about other people. The remaining members of the Tian family didn’t follow. I don’t know what happened to them. Know. "
After hearing this story, Xiao Jie thought to himself that there were five Tian family members. Except for the second son who fled to Ginkgo Village, there were four left. The Tian Li family he killed yesterday should be one of them.
The so-called heavenly soldiers and generals are probably not true. Are they referring to those scarecrows?
In any case, this treasure is definitely a good thing, but there may be some hidden dangers. Since Tian Li has become a demon, most of the other people will not be immune. This may be the effect of the treasure.
I'm afraid the way to enter the gate lies with the remaining demons.
