Chapter 190 The Mystery of the Pagoda
The next morning, Xiao Jie logged into the game early.
It's time to continue on my journey. After solving the troubles of the Tianxiahui, I can finally upgrade with confidence.
The first thing Xiao Jie has to do is to say goodbye to Yuan Bai, and now he is finally returning to Luoyang Town.
"Brother Yuan, I have to say goodbye after a long journey. Brother, I will say goodbye. Please take care of yourself in the future.
There are good and bad among those returning home, and many of them are cunning and cunning. But not everyone is as sincere as I am. You should pay more attention to your safety after I leave. "
"Hahahaha, don't worry, brother, I'm as smart as a monkey, I won't be deceived by them, I won't suffer a loss."
Xiao Jie was made to laugh out loud by Yuan Bai's pun.
Use the action [Fist Holding] on Yuan Bai, and then float away.
Xiao Jie is not worried about Yuan Bai's safety. This kind of [Expert from the World] type NPC does not belong to the monster category and does not drop anything when killed, so it is generally very safe.
Players' attitude towards this kind of NPC is usually to accept tasks to gain favor in exchange for benefits.
Especially after finding out that Xiao Jie and Yuan Bai knew each other, there was an endless stream of players coming to Yuan Bai to gain favor.
But these people are destined to be disappointed. Xiao Jie thought to himself that Yuan Bai would not teach the peerless sword skills to anyone else. After all, he was very fond of him at the beginning and then got the bond of an irreconcilable friend. In addition, he completed the task of helping to find the immortal. I got it in exchange for the questioning mission.
Even if an ordinary player has full favorability, they can probably learn only one and a half moves.
Moreover, the favorability level is not easy to increase. When I first met Yuan Bai, this monkey was still an inexperienced master. Just giving him some snacks and clothes could improve his favorability. Now he has seen the prosperity of human big cities and enjoyed it. There are various benefits, and it is undoubtedly much more difficult to obtain favorability. If you want to get 100 favorability, God knows how much resources you have to invest...
But that's not something he needs to think about.
As for his own path, Xiao Jie has already made plans for his next game.
The first thing is to raise the level to level 19 around Luoyang Town.
At the same time, he also needs to collect as much good equipment as possible, at least a mix of blue and green. There are still a few pieces of equipment on him that are blank slates.
In addition, the internal strength sword skills also need to continue to be accumulated. At least one intermediate internal strength must be learned to increase the internal strength value to more than 800, so that there will be enough internal strength for a protracted battle.
Although the sword skills are not urgent, the more secrets, the better. Although the Disillusionment Bubble is powerful, it consumes too much. If it is not a one-on-one fight, it is not as practical as Fengjuan Canyun.
If you can understand a few more mysteries and use them according to different situations, you will definitely be more comfortable.
I have to work on some more combat skills and stuff.
When everything is ready, it is time to start the inheritance of the ancient Qi Refiner.
According to the two immortals, the inheritance of this ancient qigong master is hidden in an ancient ruins. It has been too long to determine whether there will be danger inside. Considering the danger of this game, he must be fully prepared. Action will do.
As long as you obtain the inheritance of the ancient Qi Refiners, you will be able to become an immortal at your fingertips... Hehehehe.
Xiao Jie thought happily.
Before setting off, I went to the auction house to collect the money for monkey wine and secret dog food.
The more than two hundred taels of silver that I had saved before were almost all spent on buying supplies for the life-and-death duel, leaving less than ten taels. Fortunately, with these two formulas, I can get a stable income in the future.
Yesterday, I sold four bottles of monkey wine and seven secret dog food, which totaled five taels of silver.
In addition, he also put up the scarlet resin and sold it for 200 yuan each, which was another three taels of silver.
After this calculation, he now has eighteen taels of silver, which is enough to spend.
Just as he was thinking about it, a private message suddenly appeared on the chat interface.
Longteng Sihai: Brother Suifeng, I am the vice-president Sihai. My eldest brother asked me to join you. Where are you? I'll wait for you in the square.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Arriving soon.
A few minutes later, Xiao Jie found Longteng Sihai in the square.
After taking a look at Long Teng Sihai's attributes, he was immediately amazed.
Dragon Soaring All Over the World (God General): Level 38, HP 1280.
Looking at Longteng Sihai's long health bar, his gleaming golden armor, and the big halberd in his hand that exuded bright divine light.
Xiao Jie thought to himself that this guy's strength was a bit fierce, and the health bar alone was a bit exaggerated.
Ever since he learned how to disillusion the bubble, when he met different people, he would habitually calculate whether he had the possibility of defeating the other person in an instant.
At this time, when he saw Long Teng Sihai, he immediately realized that there was absolutely no chance. The defensive ability of this guy must be an order of magnitude higher than that of Xiong Ba. That golden armor probably has more than 80 physical defense. He can fight in five seconds. Losing three or four hundred blood would be good.
Once you can't kill the opponent within seconds, you basically have no choice but to run away.
However, the opponent is a divine general and belongs to a semi-magic profession, so he may not be able to escape even if he wants to.
Human beings are very realistic creatures, and they tend to treat those who completely crush them in terms of strength, especially those who have an overwhelming advantage.
Xiao Jie is no exception: "Oh, I didn't expect the vice president to be waiting for me here in person. I'm disrespectful."
Xiao Jie was so polite, Longteng Sihai was a little surprised, wondering if this brother was quite capable of doing things, he was not as arrogant as the elder brother said.
"Haha, why are you so polite? Big brother asked me to join you in the club. Hurry up."
System prompt: Longteng Sihai invites you to join the guild [Dragon Knights]. Do you want to join? Yes/No.
Xiao Jie decisively chose to join.
System prompt: You have joined a guild. You can view relevant information in the guild system.
"This is your membership benefit."
Longteng Sihai said and directly clicked on the transaction and traded a horse whistle to Xiao Jie.
[Horse whistle (mount) of the red charging horse
Use: Summon the red charging horse.
Item introduction: A whistle with special characteristics can summon the corresponding mount to your side. This red war horse is a good horse specially bred by the Windyin State Gale Knight. It is not only amazingly fast but also has charging skills. It can suddenly jump while running. Accelerating, it is an excellent war horse for charging into battle. 】
"Hey, it's different from the black war horse I bought for one hundred taels of silver."
Longteng Sihai said proudly: "That's natural. Although ordinary war horses are good, they are basically a blank slate. The most basic war horse. This red charging war horse is a special war horse that can be bought only by the reputation and respect of Fengyin State. Although the defense is slightly It's a bit bad, but it has the charge skill, which is very useful at critical moments whether it's escaping or chasing.
Only the internal members of our guild can get this thing. My brother also values you so much that I specially sent you one. "
"Thank you very much. Thank you to the president for me. By the way, do ordinary members also have benefits?"
"Of course, mounts are a benefit that everyone in our guild has, but for newcomers, only steeds can be obtained. Big Brother said that this thing can greatly improve the survival probability of newcomers, and it is much more affordable than giving equipment, so as long as you join the guild, you can get it. You can get a mount."
Xiao Jie was convinced after hearing this. If the player has a horse in the early stage, the safety will be greatly improved.
"In addition, our guild also has a benefit, which is interest-free loans. After all, many newcomers don't have much money. The upper limit for ordinary peripheral members is 30 taels, while for guests, it is 100 taels. Brother, do you want a loan?"
Xiao Jie thought to himself that this was good, and it was interest-free. It was basically a loss-making business.
After all, the debt is wiped out after death, and with such a high player death rate, there will definitely be situations where the debt cannot be recovered. It seems that the Dragon Knights have really spent a lot of money to win over newcomers and win people's hearts.
A few dozen taels of silver is equivalent to hundreds of thousands. If we recruit a few hundred people, we may not need an investment of hundreds of millions.
It seems that only rich players can afford the big guilds in this game.
It's not comparable to a third-rate guild like Xiongba.
"I won't use the loan for the time being."
"It's up to you. Oh, by the way, remember these two group numbers and add them later. One is the Longxiang Knights group. Any large-scale events in the guild will be announced in the group. The other is Luoyang Towns are divided into groups. Our guild has separate small groups in each town. If you go to different places to level up, you can add them in advance. If you need local map monster information, you can find it in the group shared file. "
Xiao Jie hurriedly wrote down the group number, which would be much more convenient.
"Okay, I'll leave if nothing happens. From now on, we will be a guild."
"Haha, yes, then walk slowly, it's time for me to leave for Luoyang Town."
Watching Long Teng Sihai leave, Xiao Jie was still very satisfied with the benefits of joining the membership. This horse alone was of great value, otherwise he might have had to buy a traveling horse first.
I have to say that the Knights of Dragonfly still take good care of new players, and this guild is also worth adding.
Xiao Jie first joined the Longxiang Knights' QQ group, looked at the number of people in the group, and was immediately shocked.
There were actually more than 300 people, including more than 20 guest guests alone, and these were only peripheral members.
The number of people in the entire guild is probably between five and six hundred. No wonder they have the idea of competing for world hegemony.
Then Xiao Jie added a small group from Luoyang Town. This group was much smaller, with only more than fifty people.
After joining the group, Xiao Jie rode his horse and galloped towards Luoyang Town.
As he embarked on the journey again, Xiao Jie's mentality was completely different from when he left Luoyang Town. At that time, walking in the wild was frightening and cautious, for fear of encountering dangerous monsters.
Now that I run around Sao Feng City more, my mentality has become much calmer, especially after I learned the Divine Sword of Disillusionment. As the saying goes, a skilled person is bold, at least in the mid-to-early map of Luoyang Plain, Xiao Jie feels I can walk sideways.
At this moment, speeding on the road, it feels like running around with a sword and traveling across the rivers and lakes.
After running for about ten minutes, I saw that the surrounding map looked familiar, but I arrived at the forest where I was chased by the wolf captain and encountered the cannibal monk.
Suddenly something moved in my heart - do you want to kill that cannibal monk?
Anyway, my goal is to level up and accumulate equipment. This guy is a rare elite after all, so he can probably explode something.
He did what he wanted and rushed into the forest on horseback. He soon saw the top of the pagoda and ran all the way to the open space outside the pagoda, but he missed the point.
Hey, where are the people?
Xiao Jie looked at the empty wasteland in front of the pagoda and wondered for a while. The cannibal monk was completely missing, and the old monks who were about to starve to death were also missing. Only the big pot was still there, but it was dry inside. It looked like It didn't look like it was firing for several days.
Xiao Jie was speechless for a while. Could it be that he was cut off?
Dang, this kind of rare elite of more than ten levels will definitely be able to produce a blue outfit or a green outfit. It's a pity, it's a pity.
But considering that this is an online game after all, and the Luoyang Plain is a popular area for players to level up, it is not surprising that someone killed him after so many days.
However, even after coming, Xiao Jie was not in a hurry to leave and went straight to the pagoda. He wondered if there would be any special monster inside the pagoda. What about covert missions?
This pagoda has seven floors in total. It looks very old and outdated. The pagoda is covered with moss and the stone door is closed tightly.
Xiao Jie stepped forward and tried to push the door open.
System: You cannot open the door from this side.
Um? Are you really not allowed in?
It doesn't matter, the main entrance is impassable, so I'll fly up.
The pagoda has a total of seven floors, and there is a door on each floor, but the stairs seem to be inside the pagoda, and the only way to go up is to leap up.
Fortunately, Xiao Jie's Qinggong was very good, so he found a suitable position and calculated the distance.
Flying clouds and chasing the moon - riding on the wind! He leaped eight or nine high into the air.
Feiyundu! After a jump, he easily landed on the fifth floor of the tower.
He clicked on the door.
System: You cannot open the door from this side.
This is really hell, can't all the doors of the seven-story tower be sealed?
He kept jumping up and down, trying every door, and finally found that they were all sealed.
Xiao Jie jumped back to the ground, looking at the pagoda and thinking about how to open the door. Logically speaking, the game should not provide an inaccessible map. There must be a way to crack the pagoda, and there must be prompts around it.
Xiao Jie returned to the gate and saw four poems carved on both sides of the gate.
At the end of the tribulation, the sky and the earth are dark, and I hide alone in the pagoda.
When the sky and the earth are colorless, the pagoda gate opens to the light.
Could it be that because of the great calamity, this person hid in the pagoda?
But the Great Tribulation happened hundreds of years ago, so wouldn’t the people in this pagoda have died in it long ago?
Now Xiao Jie wants to go in and take a look even more. Maybe he can find the corpse of a monk from hundreds of years ago. He carries some top-quality equipment with him, including Buddhist scriptures and so on - by the way, he might be able to touch it. Where are the relics?
As for the last two sentences, they seem to be the method of opening the pagoda. The sky and the earth have no color... It should be that after completing some special mechanism, the door can be opened.
Does it mean night? Xiang Guangming refers to the torch. When you come to the pagoda with a torch in the middle of the night, the door will open?
But it’s not right, the night is black, this is also a color.
And there are night ghosts in the wild at night, so I can’t come.
I thought about it for a while but had no clue. I can only say that there are several ideas to try, but there is no guarantee of success.
However, this game has a scene destruction mechanism. How about just demolishing the pagoda?
Xiao Jie looked at the two knives in his hands and gave up decisively.
I'm afraid I have to become an immortal to do this job. I'll wait until he comes back from school and then I can find him to break down the door and see what's inside.
Shaking his head, Xiao Jie went on the road again, following the paths in the woods. As he walked, he came to a fork in the road. He opened the map and looked at it. It was far away from the deserted village where he met Colonel Lang Jing. It's very close.
There is also a sign at the fork in the road.
To the east - Fallen Forest, to the north - Cross Village, to the south - Shangyin Village.
Cross Village is the abandoned village where the crazy Taoist was encountered. Falling Buddha Forest should be the forest where the pagoda is located. I have never heard of Shangyin Village.
Xiao Jie also cheered up when he thought of the wolf spirit captain he encountered not far from Cross Village last time.
The wolf demons of Bailang Cave and the bandits of Black Wind Village, these two forces are most widely distributed in Luoyang Plain.
The small group of troops sent out may encounter them at any time.
You still have to prepare yourself.
As a result, I was really afraid of what would come. Not far away from the north, I heard a scream of fear from a long distance away.
"Help! Help!"
"Stop howling and run away!"
"Those who can't escape, let's fight them!"
Xiao Jie hurriedly speeded up, and from a distance he saw a group of wolf monsters chasing down several players, all of whom were at level 14 or 15. Two of them had been chopped down to the ground, and the remaining three were risking their lives. He ran away, with a dozen wolf soldiers chasing after him, and a wolf spirit captain riding a giant wolf chasing after him, but he was in no hurry to take action.
That's right, it was the wolf soldier raiding team he met back then.
In the past, Xiao Jie could only run away, but now with the magical power in his possession, Xiao Jie suddenly became heroic and murderous.
He accelerated and rushed to those players.
"Keep running, I'll deal with them."
